Chapter 774. The Gold Mine of the Prince

"Gold! It's really gold!!!"

The entire shed was boiling, and he traveled hundreds of kilometers southward to search for gold mines that had not been discovered. In a year, the gold diggers in Gem Sea Town died and disappeared, and the gold diggers could even continue to the northern part of California in later generations. They also walked out of the Rocky Mountains in the east, and went straight to the Central Plains, and even to the edge of the Great Salt Desert, but they could not find gold.

But I never expected that the gold mine was right under the nose of the place where I lived.

Seeing the forest being cut down, the shiny golden sand exposed in the stream and the sunlight shining, all the workers from Geng Geng's neck to Jin Lao Liu almost cried, especially Geng Geng's neck, and his attitude simply turned 180 degrees, and he thrust directly on the ground, knocking his head heavily on the ground with a bang.

"Crown Prince, you are really the reincarnation of the God of Wealth!"

This compliment did not make Mao Xingjian happy. He despised the yellow and white things the most. He didn't want to be the God of Wealth.

However, in this compliment, some people could not help but jumped into the cold stream, and they were snatching it in the stream with their hands.

"Hey, this was discovered by the prince. Who asked you to go down and make money!"

Han Xiaomo suddenly became angry and shouted in anger. On the side, the sailors also wrapped the muskets slapped around their waists, but Mao Xingjian suddenly raised his slap, restraining the sailors who were about to move.

"Let them catch it!"

"Why are you still standing there? Go down!"

Again, he looked at Geng Geng's neck kneeling on the ground in a daze. Jin Laoliu shook his chin and knocked him in shock. The few of them also fluttered into the water.

The charm of gold is simply a curse for humans! It has only been more than a month since the stream is still cold and icy, but the immigrants who are fanatical about gold rushing seem to feel it. In an instant, the clear stream water was trampled and turbid. Some cold-water fry fry flies ran away in fear. Not without shrewdness, they turned around and ran back to the shed, took out all the dustpan sieves they carried with them, turned around and jumped in.

The crazy look was stunned. The rows of sailors even shrank back in fear. Han Xiaomo's bright big eyes were widened in horror. This scene also made Mao Xingjian's pupils appear deeply disgusted, but even so, he did not leave. He just pointed at Dongfang beside him, and the latter immediately brought a bench for him.

As soon as he lifted his robe, the prince sat there gloomyly, looking at a group of greedy and crazy gold diggers in disgust.

The road construction work was completely stopped, and time began to pass by bit by bit. As the sand was swaying wildly, it settled at the bottom of the stream. The golden powder that was heavier than the sand gradually appeared. He held the dustpan to the shore. Looking at the golden powder, a man was quite big and knelt on the ground like a baby and cried loudly. Some of them had been standing in the water for a long time. His legs and feet were completely numb. He thrust directly into the cold stream. The people of Tongzhen, who were busy making money, didn't even support him. In the end, it was the sailors under Mao Xingjian who were dragging the person up.

"A gentleman is a metaphor for righteousness and villains is a metaphor for profit! The desire for profit is so vicious that people's hearts will never be the same, but they will only destroy the world!"

Shaking his head and sighed, unable to help himself, Mao Xingjian became even more disgusted with Mao Jue's method of governing the country with a focus on business and profit.

…………

Finally, the day passed like this. After all, no one had ever seen it in the ancient times. More than 300 people had gained some gains. The passion passed, exhausted, with a small pinch of precious gold powder in their arms, and a group of gold diggers walked back to the shed with a laugh.

This time, the rice was ready. The strong aroma was accompanied by the stewed fish. The gold diggers who had been busy all day were flowing in water. They were busy. Geng Geng hurriedly ran to the rice pot with a bowl on his neck, and was the first to shout excitedly.

"Sister Xiao Mo! Hurry up, give you Brother Zhao a night! There are fish! Hurry!"

Who knew that Han Xiaomo, who always smiled, treated him coldly, rolled his eyes and turned upwards, and then stretched out his hand to Geng Geng's neck. The thick man excitedly handed the bowl, but she threw it aside, but she still stretched out his hand.

"Sister, what do you mean by...?"

Geng Geng's neck was stunned and asked in surprise.

Only then did Han Xiaomo take back his beautiful big-eyed Ren'er, but he started to scream in anger.

"It's natural to work and eat? Who of you worked for your eldest nephew today? No one worked, so pay the money!"

"Forehead……"

The group of gold diggers who were originally interested suddenly cooled down. After looking at each other for a while, Geng Geng's neck gritted his teeth: "Xiao Mo Mei is right. It's natural to work and eat. If we don't work, it's natural to pay the money. How much, let's pay it!"

"One or two."

Just after finishing the yelling again with enthusiasm, Geng Geng's neck was choked by Han Xiaomo's cold words again. He was full of disbelief, and he was also a little angry and shouted in shock and anger.

"How much? Miss Han, don't go too far! One or two silvers and one meal, will you grab it openly?"

Who knew that when Han Xiaomo mentioned this, he became even more angry than him, and his voice suddenly became sharp. He pointed his little finger outside the door and screamed angrily: "You go to the port of Qiehaizi to inquire! Now, this rice and grain will only take 10 taels of stone off the ship! The grain from the sea of ​​gems was evenly produced from the black heart grains by the prince's side by side. It's better to use the Black Pearl!"

"Do you know what the Black Pearl is? The Imperial Flagship! The emperor, his ship, has brought you food! The prince compensated for his own family and added food to you, coaxed you to work, and practiced Taoism for everyone so that this gem sea town can prosper and become rich. You guys who are not conscientious will pounce on you when you see gold and dogs."

After shouting in anger, Han Xiaomo rolled his eyes again and said, "This gold mine was discovered by the prince. I don't care that you are good at collecting the mine. I am willing to eat it. If I don't eat it, I am not willing to serve you. There is a river outside, so I can take care of what you eat."

When Han Xiaomo threw away the rag on his sleeve, he waved his hand: "I've collected it!"

Several sailors carried the hot rice bucket and turned to another room, staring at the hot rice! The food! They all left, and Genggeng's neck was like watching his wife follow another man to the hotel.

Geng Geng stood there with a face in his neck, and Jin Laoliu hummed in disappointment: "Isn't it just a meal? What if I don't eat? Brother, let's go, we'll eat all over the mountains and fields, what's the point?"

After all, I was afraid of being poor, and I was still most of the money. In a flash, about 300 gold diggers simply went out of the house with a shady mouth. I looked at the figures of sailors and cavalrymen in the New World Expedition Team in another room, licked my lips, and Geng Geng's neck followed him out of the house in disappointment.

Indeed, in this era, humans have just entered the coastal mountains, and they are still wild animals, but it does not mean that fish can really swim into your pot. A large group of gold diggers rushed to the river and slapped in the cold water for a long time, but most people came back empty-handed and lived a hungry night.

Early the next morning, I was frozen in cold water for a whole day yesterday, and it was not a joke. Many people had knee pain so much that they could hardly walk. Moreover, the breakfast that I could see when I opened my eyes was gone now. Early in the morning, I was hungry and listening to the sound of the sailors in the next shed plucking their rice bowls, it was really uncomfortable.

But just as a group of gold diggers were rubbing their empty stomachs, a large group of new gold diggers ran over with pots and pans in extreme excitement, pounced into the cold golden stream, catching the golden sand with excitement.

Seeing that it might be that there was less golden sand from them, those who were already hungry and tired, who came to the gold diggers first helped to support themselves again and followed them down the river.

In the evening of that day, more than a thousand people were hungry, and today there was no food for them. Mao Xingjian was not in the mood to build roads, so he directly retreated his people.

On the third day, some people were hungry and cold, and they died of illness and starved to death with the little golden sand in their arms. On the fourth day, some people couldn't stand it and simply went home. The little gold they had just earned was directly scattered in Han Jinnong's tavern. Some of them were unwilling to let their wives and children come to deliver food. They then soaked in the cold stream, but the family was hungry. On the eighth day, Geng Geng's neck, whose calves were weak, came back with Jin Laoliu.

Not only him, there were about 30 people in total, there were Koreans and Japanese people, and they were muttering to the gate of the military camp and didn't know what to do.

Holding a basin of laundry water, he just came out to pour out dirty water. Seeing them gathered together, Han Xiaomo suddenly became angry and started to yell.

"Why are you not going to catch your baby gold, and you are blocking your nephew's doorstep? Go along!"

It's a pity that this place is clearly the barracks where people explored the cavalry before. When will it become the Prince's East Palace? Song Yongzhong, who was standing guard on the gatehouse, was amused and crying. But Miss Han was so righteous, and Geng Geng and the others felt it was right. Listening to Han Xiaomo's drive away, more than 30 people fell to the ground neatly. Geng Geng took the lead and slammed his head. When Han Xiaomo saw it, his eyes were wide open.

"What are you going to do?"

…………

"Big nephew!!!"

Han Xiaomo's screams sounded again in the whole yard, panting. The girl rushed upstairs in one breath. She was about to speak, but she was exhausted and gasped for a long time.

Sitting at the table, Mao Xingjian was holding a thousand-character text, pronunciating it to the native Su people word by word. He was not in a hurry. In the eyes of the Su people looking at Han Xiaomo, the prince slowly turned his head, and did not urge him, and just waited there.

After finally breathing evenly, Han Xiaomo looked full of excitement again, and he became more and more chattering.
