After the gold mine was discovered, the people in Kingsoft County fell into madness. People soaked in the water from morning to night every day just to catch more gold sand.

Their hard work was rewarded soon, and Shi Kai made a fortune. If the gold was transported back to Ganchao, he would have to buy a few luxury houses and a few concubines in the capital.

Of course, the people who are rushing gold also gained money. It can be said that in a very short period of time, they gained wealth that they could not obtain for a few years in the dynasty.

People were very happy, but soon everyone discovered that everyone had gold, but life had not changed, and they were even more tired.

With so much gold being dug out and the shortage of supplies in Kingsoft County, prices have soared.

Everyone rushed to find gold, but in the end they sold food cheaply. The Liu brothers who sold tools made the two bosses make a fortune.

This hit the morale of the gold diggers, and Shi Kai, the prefect of Kingsoft, quickly realized this.

Several senators who obtained licenses did not allow their gold diggers to be in a low morale, and encouraged them to work hard, struggle, and make more gold.

However, the lack of materials and the rising prices have made gold diggers unable to attract interest.

Now Kingsoft County lacks miners to hunt for gold, craftsmen to smel, tenants to farm, cooks, tailors, merchants, opera troupes, and even brothels to secretly prostitutes.

Shi Kai then summoned many senators to discuss and finally decided to send ships back to Ganchao in order to find more gold and for the development of Jinshan County.

This is to transport the gold dug back, secondly, to buy a large amount of goods to enrich the supplies of Kingsoft County, so that miners can experience the purchasing power of gold, thirdly, to attract more people to Kingsoft County, so that they can hire people and Kingsoft County can develop.

At this time, life in Kingsoft County was still very difficult. The people who came here had nothing but money, and their lives were extremely boring.

The living conditions here are far inferior to those of Jiangnan, but those who are preparing to go back have reached the end and decided to conceal the hardships of Kingsoft, consciously become Gao Huan's conspiracy, and prepare to compile lies and deceive more people to come to Kingsoft to find gold.

This place is far away from the ocean. As long as people are deceived here, it is impossible to go back, so they can only stay in Kingsoft.

Because people who have just come here have almost nothing, they can only work for them first, earn money, and make a living. When they have money, they will decide whether to buy a boat ticket to return home or fool others to work for themselves.

Kingsoft County, next to the pier.

The two lucky ships were ready, unlike the last time they returned empty-handed, this time they were loaded with a large number of gold ingots.

At this time, the prefect Shi Kai explained to Zhao Ming, "Last time, Your Majesty used a plan to help us get time and attracted so many people. This time we brought back real money and silver, so we must promote it well, so we said that gold is everywhere here, attracting many people."

As more people make money, various businesses will emerge. When the merchants in the court feel that they have money to make money, they will be willing to come to trade, and Kingsoft will naturally become prosperous.

Zhao Ming nodded, "Don't worry, prefect!"

On the other hand, Jiang Jiaren and Liu Zhongxia led a group of people to see Liu Jiqiu off.

"Brother-in-law, brother! Don't worry, I've recorded it all!" Liu Jiqiu said to the two: "With my fair share of words, I will definitely let my eldest brother and fourth brother sell their home business and come together to make a fortune!"

Jiang Jiaren nodded slightly, and at this moment, a gong sounded from the lucky boat, "It's time to start the boat, you go!"

Liu Jiqiu then boarded the Shanghai ship, stood by the side of the ship, and waved goodbye to everyone on the dock.

The sea ship pulled up the anchor, supported it with a long pole to leave the pier, then raised the sails and headed towards the vast sea.

Two months later, at Shanghai Port, a British merchant ship docked at the dock, waiting for the Maritime Bureau to inspect the goods and go through the customs entry procedures.

At this time, several British merchants stood on the deck, watching an official, holding the tax return list of British people and counting the goods.

"Open this?" Gan pointed to the official at the box of cargo on the deck.

After hearing the translation, the British businessman asked the sailor to open a box, and black or brown objects were exposed inside, with a strong smell and a scent of urine.

The official frowned, slapped his hand, and looked at the list in his other hand, "What is this?"

"Sir, this is the Forgetful Medicine, also called A Furong, it is a kind of ointment!" the translator quickly explained.

"A Furong?" The official frowned slightly. He had never heard of such a cargo.

This Furong was called in the Tang Dynasty. In fact, it was called opium, and in the Ming Dynasty, it was called Fushou Cake.

After Gao Huan opened the sea ban, the total trade volume between the East and West increased rapidly, and the goods from Ganchao swept across the West.

Over the years, not only the original tea, porcelain, and silk have continued to occupy the Western market, but also the strong Western industries such as glass, gigabytes and watches have also occupied a large share.

This has led to the increase in exports from Ganchao to the West, while nothing in the West can export to Ganchao.

Britain is not rich now, and its annual trade deficit has led to the outflow of silver and gold, and handicrafts have gone bankrupt under the impact of goods.

It turns out that British merchants can also export some fresh things, but Ganchao’s ability to imitate is too strong. When Ganchao comes to Ganchao, the merchants who are targeted by Ganchao will not be able to imitate them for a long time, and they will be better than what they have made.

Western glass, clocks, mileage mirrors, cannons, and muskets were all squeezed out of the Chinese market and were sold to the West in turn.

This has made Western merchants only able to loot some raw materials and grains to sell them to the dynasty, and the value of raw materials is relatively low, so the deficit is widening every year.

Seeing the continuous flow of silver and gold, Britain became poorer and poorer, the East India Company had a bad idea.

The British could only send pirates to the Western Atlantic and Eastern Pacific to rob Spanish silver ships, while trying to find a lucrative, huge, and expensive product to narrow the deficit.

In order to make money, the Jewish merchants of the East India Company chose the goods of opium.

Because this thing is not common, the officials of the Maritime Bureau have never seen it. Just as he was about to ask further, a boiling sound was heard on the edge of the dock, and countless figures rushed to the dock, as well as the Huangpu River.

Seeing this, the British businessman couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?"

When the official saw the crowds on the dock, two sea boats sailing on the Huangpu River showed excitement on his face. He hurriedly used a seal on the list, "Okay, take the order to file taxes and you can unload the goods!"

He returned the order to the merchant and hurriedly got off the boat to join in the fun.

This time, two lucky ships from Jinshan County arrived in Ryukyu, were stopped by the ambassador of the Ganchao as usual. After learning that Zhao Ming brought back gold, he immediately sent a ship to inform the court.

At this time, Gao Huan happened to return to Nanjing from Huguang, so he ordered again that major newspapers would continue to promote and create momentum.

When the people and businessmen in Jiangnan heard that the second batch of gold was transported back from Jinshan County, the people immediately became excited again.

Yinzhou is too far away from working hard, and there is no explanation for a year or two, so many people began to wonder whether there is really gold in Kingsoft.

Now that the gold transport ships in Jinshan County have returned, the gold production of Jinshan is undoubtedly true. Many timid people can't sit still when they see the first group of people who have made money.

At this time, the pier and the riverside were surrounded by crowds, waiting to see how much gold was unloaded from the ship.

The British businessman was very surprised by the madness of killing people. He asked the translator, and the translator immediately explained: "This is the person who went to Jinshan County to hunt for gold, and he brought the gold back."

Two British businessmen were surprised when they heard this. They looked at each other and muttered, "Has the Chinese discovered gold mine?"

Compared with Spain and Portugal, the United Kingdom landed in the Americas relatively late, and the gold and silver mines in South America fell into the hands of both countries, so they were undoubtedly late.

However, it was not too late for Britain during North American Week, but no gold mines were found.

When Gan Chaoren landed in North America, after the British, Gan Chaoren actually discovered gold mines, which immediately made British businessmen feel unbalanced.

"This gold mine should belong to our Kingdom of England..."
