Chapter 1367 Return of the North American Expedition
On the other side of the ocean, on the west coast of North America, Kingsoft Town.
This is the first stronghold established by the Jiuzhou Army in North America.
The town of Kingsoft, located in San Francisco Bay, can already be regarded as a town where there are scattered tracts of civilized houses, fences, forts, farmlands, pastures, wells, enough to be self-sufficient, and soldiers patrol to protect the town from indigenous attacks.
In spring, a fleet of ships arrived from the mainland arrived in Jinshan Town.
This was the first time that local ships had visited in Kingsoft. The expedition team of Kingsoft Town also successfully completed their mission here - they established a colonial stronghold in San Francisco Bay and found traces of the gold mine.
"You have completed the tasks assigned by the Military Affairs Department with excellent results. Our second batch of expedition teams will hand over your work." A major sent by the military department brought the second batch of North American expedition teams from the ship. When he saw that Kingsoft Town was more prosperous than he expected, he couldn't help but admire him.
"You're here to help." Cao Bianjiao shook hands with the visitor, and the handover was completed between their first batch of expedition teams and the second batch of expedition teams.
"Dear people from Jinshan Town! We have been working hard in the New World for three years and have developed fertile land. Thank you for your hard work during this period! Now the local people have sent a fleet, and townsmen who intend to return to the local people will receive subsidies issued by the Ministry of Revenue. If you want to stay in the New World and become permanent residents, then the land he contracted will be exempt from land rent within ten years." Cao Bianjiao summoned the villagers of Jinshan Town to arrange the next thing.
In addition to being adventurers, the first North American expedition teams played the role of pioneers, and they opened up Kingsoft Town.
The first batch of pioneers in hundreds of Kingsoft Towns began to hesitate whether to return to the local area.
Some of them were refugees or disaster victims, and they joined the expedition team with their families because of the government's organization. They built houses here, reclaimed farmland, kept livestock in captivity, and were self-sufficient, and were reluctant to leave the fruits of their labor here.
Of course, some of the members of the expedition team are still in the local area, and they are ecstatic about the fact that they can return to the local area. They have been in North America for three years and can't wait to go home.
Finally, I chose to stay in Jinshan Town and become a permanent resident and return to the mainland to the 50% of the 50% of the townsmen.
"Everyone must conduct a body search before boarding the ship." Before the townsmen left, Cao Bianjiao wanted to prevent anyone from privately hiding gold from North American gold mines and transporting it back to the mainland, all people and their luggage returned to the mainland must be inspected. Once they were checked, they would face severe punishment.
In addition to establishing the permanent stronghold of Kingsan Town, the North American Expedition Team, more importantly, is to find gold mines and find a lot of gold. All of these golds will be handed over to the military headquarters to make up for the expenses of the North American expedition team.
"Jinshan Town is not only a gold mine, but also produces grain, wood and fur to the local area. This can also be the starting point for conquering the new continent. Our muskets are invincible in this continent." Cao Bianjiao was worried about the construction of Jinshan Town and ordered the Governor of Jinshan Town who took over him.
The Jiuzhou Army adopted a typical governor system for colonies in non-provincial areas, and established a new position as governor of Jinshan Town in Jinshan Town, with efficient and concentrated power.
"The military headquarters has considered various situations and has formulated a development plan for Jinshan Town. We will not destroy your efforts." The Governor of Jinshan Town promised Cao Bianjiao.
"Bijiao, let them leave the next thing." Li Yizhu came over with two Caucasian dogs.
"Then please, please." Cao Bianjiao was in a complicated mood at this time. After all, he was watching Jinshan Town build up from scratch, just like an old father seeing his growing daughter getting married.
"Are they going to follow us back to the country?" Li Yizhu stroked the Caucasian dog's hair.
The two Caucasian dogs were still puppies when they arrived in San Francisco Bay, but now they are adults and look huge. One of the Caucasian dogs has scars left when fighting against the natives on their legs.
"Take them with you. Although they like the mountains here more, they probably don't recognize their lives." Cao Bianjiao said.
"Xiao Hei, Xiao Hui, let's get on the boat!" After Li Yizhu received the permission of Cao Bianjiao, he took two Caucasian dogs to the big ship returning to the land.
"Oh my uncle, we have drunk all the wine we brought. This time we can finally go back to our hometown to have a lewd taste! Cao Bianjiao, what are you waiting for? You can only leave the boat!" Zheng Zhihu couldn't wait to return to the local area and said to Cao Bianjiao.
"Okay!" Cao Bianjiao also boarded the ship together after saying that.
The people of Jinshan Town who chose to stay came to the river beach to say goodbye to Cao Bianjiao, Zheng Zhihu, Li Yizhu and others, and many of them cried out.
Jinshan Town is a town they built together, but at this time they were two different routes. One of them returned to the old continent, and the other one stayed in the new continent, with the huge Pacific Ocean between them. It may take several years for them to see each other again, or they will never see each other again in the next life.
"Goodbye!" Li Yizhu waved to the townsmen below, and she could almost call these people.
When they parted, they thought that they might never see some of the villagers in Jinshan Town again, tears couldn't help but burst into tears in Li Yizhu's eyes.
"They chose to stay in the New World, which is their choice. The members of our expedition team are originally from all over the world. After returning to the local area, those among us will be separated from us." Cao Bianjiao comforted him.
"Brother Cao is right. There are so many wishful things in this world. Everyone just wants to survive better." Zheng Zhihu walked over, "When our Zheng brothers were wandering to Japan, they still relied on selling shoes and sewing for others. Life was too difficult. It would be better to be glad that this is just a separation of life, not a separation of death. If we encounter a storm in the Pacific, it would be miserable."
"Brother Zheng, is there anyone who comforts people like this?" Cao Bianjiao couldn't help rolling his eyes. He said such unlucky words just as he was about to go to sea. If the crow's mouth works, they would be called "The sky is not suitable for the earth" in the Pacific Ocean.
Although everyone in Jinshan Town was reluctant to part with each other, the fleet left Jinshan Town.
The return of the first North American expedition team only symbolizes the conquest of the New World. The newly arrived Governor of Kingsoft Town brought more bulky steam engines and iron tools, and they will carry out larger-scale development of the gold mines here. At the same time, the first North American expedition team will bring the first pot of gold back, and there will be research on the geology and hydrology here, so that the third and fourth batches of expedition teams will be arranged in the future.
