Chapter 1430 The streamer is different
Facing the sudden appearance of poisonous snakes, everyone became a little alert.
One of Zhang Yong's subordinates took the initiative to walk forward, but saw him throwing a stone directly, hitting the poisonous snake's nostril. I don't know if the poisonous snake was injured or was a snake with strong external strength and fleeing.
Seeing the poisonous snake trying to escape back to the snake hole beside the stream, he quickly stepped forward and reached out to grab the poisonous snake's tail, but he swung and stroked it. With the dazzling operation, he had already turned it on.
A poisonous snake was put into a special cloth bag.
this……
Gouzi and others looked at the man's dazzling operation and immediately showed a stunned expression, looking at the unpretentious middle-aged man in disbelief.
Zhang Yong saw the reactions of everyone, pointed at the dull middle-aged man and smiled and introduced: "His name is Chen Qi. He used to be a snake catcher. The ancestors of their family have been doing this for generations!"
Although the Ming Dynasty master divided the people of the Ming Dynasty into profession, he could not really limit people completely. These snake catchers can be regarded as a craft, but they have been passed down from generation to generation.
In fact, it is not only that. Most of the subordinates who were attracted by Zhang Yong and brought to Luzon to find gold mines have a skill, and his subordinates are all treasures.
"It's amazing!"
Hu Niu's eyes glared slightly, and she seemed to be secretly admiring in her heart. Although she dared to catch the snake with her bare hands and could also put the poisonous snake in a cloth bag, it was impossible to put the snake in as light and skillful as Chen Qi.
Cloth bag.
However, she also understood that she had specialized in her profession, such as eating, no one was a match for the rice jar, no one was Ali's opponent, and no one was a match for the dog.
This poisonous snake was just a small episode. The group walked forward dozens of steps, and the situation in this valley was presented to everyone.
This is a quiet valley, with some malani growing sparsely on the wide rocky land, and there are no traces of birds and beasts. They are cliffs on all sides, in the shape of gourds.
The source of the stream also appears, but it is a clear pool. It is already a rainwater gathering on three cliffs, and it is undoubtedly a natural reservoir for a rainy season.
But none of this matters. When everyone stepped into this valley, their bodies seemed to have been cast as if they had been cast a fixed spell, but they were standing there blankly.
On the stone wall in the east, the originally gray-brown stone wall was filled with some flowing light. Although it was on this cloudy day, everyone looked at the flowing light on the stone wall, but it still brought a huge feeling.
visual impact.
It is said that the Ming Dynasty has a vast land and a wealth of materials, but gold and silver mines are rare, so the Ming Dynasty's financial industry was seriously limited by gold and silver. Perhaps in the Ming Dynasty, you can see the iron walls of copper and iron walls, but it is impossible to see such a surging golden wall.
But now, they are fortunate to see such a "golden wall", an exposed mine exposed to the sky, which is less than two miles away from the road they have built.
"Gold mine!"
"It's really a gold mine!"
"Oh my God, we found a big gold mine!"
...
Chen Qi and others looked at the golden wall in front of them, and first felt dull, then their faces showed excitement, and they communicated with each other in a lack of words.
"Zhang Yong, this should be considered an open-pit mine, right?"
Hu Niu is no longer the cowherd girl in the mountain village who carefully sews a few taels of silver into her old clothes. She doesn't have much obsession with gold and silver, so she turns her head and looks at Zhang Yong and asks.
Zhang Yong turned his head and looked at Hu Niu. He swallowed hard and then nodded solemnly: "Yes, this is an open-pit gold mine! If I guess correctly, at least 500,000 can be dug out here...
Two gold!"
According to the current four-to-one gold and silver in the Ming Dynasty, 500,000 taels of gold are 2 million taels of silver, which is equivalent to the grain tax in the Ming Dynasty for one year, and twice the salt tax in the Ming Dynasty for one year.
Gouzi and others were also secretly dumbfounded when they heard such a huge amount.
However, they had no greed in their hearts. First, most of them belonged to their Changlin Village and Lin Qingran's wealth, and second, they knew that this was not a wealth that ordinary people could eat.
Living in this hierarchical era, almost everyone understands the principle that "every man is innocent, but he is guilty of being a silly man."
Not to mention that this gold mine has to be mined, alchemy and transported. Even if all the gold is moved back to home, people like them who are powerless and powerless will be left with the result of being killed by money.
Nowadays, there are only the United Merchants Group, and as a member of the group, they can naturally get enough benefits from it.
Although Hu Niu knew that these were all trustworthy people, she still emphasized again: "Now you all see it. I hope you can all keep this secret, and the benefits that should be yours will be worth a lot!"
"yes!"
Zhang Yong and others knew that this matter was indeed important, so they immediately bowed seriously.
Since they are responsible for finding gold mines in Luzon, the rewards they receive will naturally not be too low. Especially since they are all poor, they can go from the proletarian people of the Ming Dynasty to the current fertile food and clothing, and naturally they will not give up easily.
Life, and the reward that comes with it.
Squeak!
Hu Niu was about to take everyone to the golden wall to check the situation, but the little golden monkey suddenly had her hair standing up, hid directly at her feet and made a sound to stop it.
Huh?
After Zhang Yong saw this situation, he knew that the little golden monkey was a little spiritual, so he immediately became vigilant and gave Chen Qi a wink at another subordinate.
The subordinate was born strong and holding an axe in his hand, following Chen Qi towards the stone wall over there, and vigilantly paying attention to the movements around him, as if he was fighting at any time.
But both of them were about to walk to the golden wall, but they still didn't notice anything strange around them. Chen Qi turned around and said to him: "There is no danger here!"
The strong man stepped on a pile of soft things, but he didn't know whether it was a beast or a rotten meat. He smelled a foul smell, so he carried an axe toward the pool.
Everyone looked at the lack of any movement in front of them, and there was no danger. They turned their heads and looked at the little golden monkey in confusion.
Squeak!
The little golden monkey screamed twice in aggrieved manner, but was not 100% sure there was a risk ahead.
Chapter completed!
