Liang Yizheng was about to call someone over for discussion, but when he heard Hu Niu suddenly ask, he was stunned for a moment, then reached out and patted his forehead and said: "Yes, Zhang Yong returned to the camp in the evening and told me that he wanted to

I’m meeting the eldest lady!” After saying that, he ordered the young man beside him: “Go and call Zhang Yong over quickly, saying that the eldest lady wants to see him!”

The young man responded and hurried out of the tent.

After a while, a strong middle-aged man strode in from outside. It was Zhang Yong that Huniu was looking for.

Zhang Yong came in and saw the two of them. He saluted Huniu respectfully and said, "I have seen Miss Lin. I don't know why I came here."

Zhang Yong is nearly forty years old and has a standard Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, dark skin, and a medium build, but looks very strong.

He was originally one of the mine owners of Jiming Mountain. Because the imperial court issued the "Silver Ban Order", he followed the bandit leader Li Yayuan to occupy the mountain and become the king.

But Shi Huashan led most of them to the bottom of the mountain, and he was successfully persuaded to surrender by Huang Dafu and Liang Yi, so he brought some of his old relatives to Luzon, and now he has been working for the United Merchant Group.

After learning about what happened to the mine owners in Jiangxi, Fujian and other places, he was very grateful to Lin Haoran. It was thanks to Lin Haoran's openness that he was able to survive, and now he can live a decent life and provide benefits to his brothers.

Found a good way to make a living.

Liang Yi watched Zhang Yong come in, and looked up at Huniu in confusion, wondering what kind of medicine Huniu was selling in her gourd.

Huniu didn't say a word. She reached out from her arms and took out the stone she had picked up on the dry river before, and handed it over directly.

Zhang Yong did not dare to neglect. He took the dark stone with both hands and looked at it carefully by the light.

At first, he acted like a veteran, holding the stone casually in his hand and looking at it from a distance. But when he saw a faint golden light shining into his eyes through the lamp, his face immediately lit up.

He looked at Huniu with a look of shock and disbelief.

"Huh? What is this?" Liang Yi asked curiously as he saw that this stone was not like an ordinary stone and felt that Zhang Yong's expression was different.

Zhang Yong did not answer, but looked up at Huniu and asked, "Miss Lin, may I ask where you found this stone?"

Ali and Fantan both knew that the stone was serious, but they were never talkative people, so they just stood quietly beside it.

"I hunted a crocodile by the waterhole today, and I found this stone next to it!" Huniu pointed in the direction of the waterhole and said seriously.

"Puddle? It shouldn't be!" Zhang Yong shook his head in disappointment after hearing these words.

Liang Yi saw him like this and said as if he was blaming him: "Zhang Yong, please stop being dumb, right?"

At this point, he swallowed the words that came to his lips and gave Zhang Yong a knowing look.

Zhang Yong still put Liang Yi aside, looked at Huniu deeply, pointed to the golden dots on the stone seriously and said: "Miss Lin, this time there is obviously a golden light. If you find this piece, it is ours."

I have been looking for gold ore, but..."

When the United Business Group entered Nanyang, it was under the guise of spice trade, but in fact it had a greater ambition, and it secretly coveted the large gold mine on Luzon Island.

It can even be said that the planting of cotton and chili peppers in Union City was a pretense. Their greater purpose was to build a road from Union Port to a place that would later be called Baguio.

It is for this great ambition that the United Business Group has invested a lot of manpower and material resources from the moment it took root in Luzon.

Zhang Yong led a group of miners to search for the Baguio gold mine, while Liang Yi was responsible for the construction of the road, and behind him were Weng Huasong, Chen Zhixiao and Shen Jun who were in charge of the United City.

It's just that nothing can be accomplished overnight, especially large-scale plans involving tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of gold. Even if the joint business group invests a lot of manpower and material resources at any cost, it has not been able to complete large-scale procurement until now.

Gold homework.

The biggest difficulty now is undoubtedly to build a gold transportation line, so as to more effectively control the gold mines to be mined and quickly transport the gold back to Guangdong.

Liang Yi felt happy for a moment. After hearing this turn of events, he nervously asked: "But what?"

Zhang Yong's eyes fell on the oval-shaped gold ore in his hand, and he sighed in disappointment: "I took my brother to search the central mountainous area of ​​Luzon Island, and also found a few pieces of gold ore, but none of them were found.

No gold mine was found!”

"Brother Zhang, why is this?" Liang Yi asked in confusion when he heard these words.

Ali, Fantan and others also looked at Zhang Yong. In their understanding, finding gold ore is almost the same as finding gold mine.

Zhang Yong met everyone's gaze and explained in a tactful manner: "This gold mine is very similar to the silver mine. There are open-pit mines and deep-earth mines. However, deep-earth mines are very lucky, and some excavations are difficult to do by humans.

So Mr. Lin has already

We are definitely asked to look for an open-pit mine. Our camp is only a few dozen feet away from the water hole, and there are no hills around it. I am afraid that some people or beasts will move the ore here, or it may be a hidden deep earth mine.

, or maybe it’s just a piece of waste ore!”

When Liang Yi heard this explanation, a look of disappointment immediately appeared on his face. This was probably because his joy was in vain.

"I found a dry river next to the puddle. Maybe it was brought down by the river in the past!" Huniu had her own judgment, and turned to Zhang Yong and said again: "No matter how this ore appeared here,

Yes, let’s search up the river tomorrow to see if we can find an open-pit mine!”

"Okay, then tomorrow I will bring some tight-lipped people to follow the eldest lady!" Zhang Yong nodded gently and said with a respectful hand.

Although he was not optimistic about the situation, now that he saw Huniu picking up a piece of gold ore, he naturally wanted to find out.

Sometimes, he had to sigh with emotion: He thought this was a large, wild island, but it turned out that the wealth contained here was astonishing, almost 10,000 times that of Jiming Mountain.

When Liang Yi learned that there might be a gold mine nearby, he originally wanted to join in the fun, but he suppressed this small impulse considering that the matter would not easily cause tension.

Early the next morning, the group headed towards the puddle as planned.
Chapter completed!
