Chapter 1107 Gold Rush

A Treasure Island was found in the South China Sea. A Gold River and Silver Mountain were found on the Treasure Island. The Golden River was filled with gold sand. You could find a few gold sands the size of soybeans after taking a basin.

The news spread rapidly in Taiping Port, and at first everyone thought it was just a rumor.

But later the news spread more and more. Later, someone revealed that an adventure ship Kunlun discovered the Treasure Island.

They explored deep in the South China Sea and deviated from the route by the storm. They accidentally discovered a large island. When they were mooring on the island to repair ships, they accidentally discovered a river full of golden sand.

It is said that this unlucky adventure ship accidentally discovered gold. They frantically hunted gold sand and finally found hundreds of kilograms of gold. They even found dozens of natural dog-headed gold. The largest piece of bull-headed gold weighed dozens of kilograms.

However, when they were so happy that they were about to go crazy, one night, a group of Tufans on the island attacked them. They were careless and killed more than a dozen people. Finally, they repelled the island and did not dare to stay for too long, so they hurriedly fled from Treasure Island.

They drew a map and route to Treasure Island, and now they have returned to Taiping Port. They originally made an appointment to keep the secret together. After the ship is repaired, they will hire some guards to go to the gold dig again.

But the gold and silver they sold quietly attracted the attention of those who were interested, and then secretly followed them, and finally accidentally heard the news about the Treasure Island.

Then, the news was not kept secret after all. One was spread to ten, ten was spread to hundreds. Now countless people are preparing to go to find gold. Many people surrounded the Kunlun number.

In the end, the Qin family was alarmed.

At the end of the matter, it is said that the Qin family sent 10,000 yuan to buy the location and route map of Treasure Island from the Kunlun, and then recruited ships and personnel to go to find gold.

Because the Kunlun was unable to keep the secret, he finally sold tens of thousands of pounds of gold from the Qin family. In addition, they sold hundreds of kilograms of gold, which was worth tens of thousands of pounds of money. Each of the crew members on the Kunlun gave a large sum of money, and even the dozen dead people received a huge compensation.

The merchants and people who invested in Kunlun also received a lot of dividends.

It is said that because the Kunlun said there were many islands, the Qin family was preparing to recruit more ships and people to go there, and even decided on specific gold digging plans.

For example, you can make gold for the Qin family, get high commissions, or choose to make luck by yourself. You can take the Qin family's boat to pass through the Treasure Island without paying a ticket, and even the Qin family will be responsible for security.

They can freely hunt for gold, and the gold they find will be purchased by the Qin family at the market price, and then settle all costs such as ship fees when they come back.

"If this is really full of gold and luck is the same as Kunlun, wouldn't it be like the one who travels to get rich overnight?"

The crew of the Kunlun crew is said to have been divided into thousands of guan, which is already the wealth of a small wealthy family.

How can this not make people feel moved?

"If you are lucky and pick up dozens of pounds of gold, you will really get rich. If dozens of pounds of gold, you will be worth a lot of money. How can you not get rich overnight?"

"Even if you pick up a few pounds of gold, it's amazing!"

Everyone was excitedly discussing Treasure Island and discussing the Kunlun crew who became rich overnight.

Because the Qin family took over this matter in the end, and the unshakable status and credit of the Qin family in Taiping Port made this topic even more popular.

Money and silk are touching.

What's more, it's this kind of opportunity to get rich overnight.

A rare opportunity.

The topic of Treasure Island is constantly intensifying.

An auction held by Taiping Auction House in Taiping Port triggered this topic even more, because Taiping Auction House, a high-end auction house, temporarily added an auction, which auctioned the gold and silver brought back from the Treasure Island by the Kunlun adventure ship.

Although gold and silver are expensive, they are not rare.

Even dog-headed, bull-headed gold, etc. can only be considered ordinary commercial goods. However, once these gold from Treasure Island was promoted, it would be amazing. Countless people came to participate in the auction and rushed to block gold from Treasure Island.

Those dog-headed and bull-headed gold were indeed as rumored. The largest one, the gold was 56 kilograms, shocking countless people. Bull-headed gold is relatively rare, but it is not impossible to see it, but the bull-headed gold from Treasure and Silver Island is different.

In the end, this bullhead gold was sold at a transaction price that was far higher than the market price and was collected by a wealthy man.

After this auction, countless people began to flock to the Qin family’s newly opened Treasure Island gold rushing business in Taiping Port to register, rushing to go to gold rush.

In just a few days, the number of applicants reached thousands.

The last fleet with a total number of 3,000 people set sail and sailed towards the deep sea. In addition to the ship's men and mercenaries, there were as many as 2,000 gold diggers in the fleet.

They set sail with the dream of getting rich overnight.

And more people who have not been able to board the boat or are still hesitating are also paying attention.

It can be imagined that when the gold diggers of this fleet come back, as long as they can be confirmed that there is really Treasure Island, there is really a lot of gold. Even if the Kunlun speaks a bit exaggeratedly, as long as the gold can be found, more people will rush to go there in the future.

On the largest ship, the Tang Dynasty Grand Marshal Qin Lang, Duke of Wei, was in the cabin. His trip was secret. He even made some simple dresses, trimmed and changed his beard style, and his clothes were also dressed in the costume of a sea navigation captain. Unless he was very familiar with people, he would not recognize him for a moment. This was Duke of Wei who was in the Tang Dynasty.

"Are you not afraid of being seen through the shadow on Shenlong Island?" Zhang Chao asked.

Qin Lang was holding a map of the Tongyi Sea in Guangzhou in his hand and was looking at it. This was the route map collected by the Qin family for a lot of money. He set off from Guangzhou Port to the South Ocean and headed straight to the Mediterranean Sea, with a voyage of more than 30,000 miles.

This chart not only maps the detailed route from Guangzhou to the Mediterranean, but also has specialties in various countries along the way, such as Li Jiapo in later generations, at this time, which was a territorial place for the Wolf Teeth. It is said that Wolf Teeth was built in the Han Dynasty and has a history of 600 years.

More than a hundred years ago, the wolf teeth cultivator had already sent envoys to the Central Plains to pay tribute, which was actually trade. Therefore, Song, Qi, Liang and Chen of the Southern Dynasties all recorded this wolf teeth cultivator.

During the Sui Dynasty, it was called wolf teeth cultivation, and some merchants also called Jiamolangjia.

The capital was in the Kedah area in later generations. It is said that the residents of the country were mainly Jimei people. These Jimei people were Zhenla people on the Indochina Peninsula, but the ruling class of Langya Xiu was the Indians.

This is similar to Tuyuhun, the main body is the Qiang people, but the ruler is the Xianbei people.

According to some Buddhist scriptures, the name of this wolf teeth cultivation is in a mountain city on Malaya Peak. In Sanskrit, wolf teeth cultivation is the first half of the happy world. Therefore, the original meaning of wolf teeth cultivation is actually the meaning of a happy Malay Peninsula mountain city.

Opposite the strait of this happy wolf-yas cultivation country is the Gantuli Kingdom, which was later renamed the Three Buddhas until the Ming Dynasty. In the late Tang Dynasty, the Three Buddhas were also called the Buddha's passing country.

Qin Lang liked this Tongyi map very much. He spent a lot of money to collect hundreds of navigation charts. Each navigation chart took too much effort from the sailors. Every route was verified through countless adventures. Although the navigation technology has made great progress now, it has given people the ability to sail the deep sea.

But every new route is updated, behind it, countless ships may be crushed into the storm or lost in the deep sea.

Every record of local indigenous people above was obtained at great risk.

A small piece of Tongyihai Road is a truly priceless treasure.

A large ship with a deep draft, wind and wave resistance, can carry thousands of people, can sail into the deep sea and no longer only follow the coastline. This also avoids many coastal islands, reefs and pirates, let alone shorten many voyages. Even today's Tang ships no longer rely heavily on monsoon voyages, and do not have to wait for another wind to take half a year.

Whether it is south or north, as long as there is wind, you can ride the wind and waves.

The compass and compass needles invented by the backward Si Nanshang, mastering astronomical constellations, and improving the drawing of route charts have all enabled the Tang Dynasty's sea ships to traverse all over the world.

The Tang Dynasty has now opened up its voyages and strengthened industrial and commercial trade, which has promoted the development of navigation technology and trade. Countless people who were trapped in narrow places and guarded a few thin fields and were hungry now can get enough food and clothing due to the prosperity of industrial and commercial trade.

Above the South China Sea, there are Tang ships everywhere, and Tang people everywhere in the southeast.

Countless Tang cities, Chinatowns, and guild halls allow the Tang Dynasty's culture to radiate to all directions and allow wealth from all directions to gather in the Central Plains.

Qin Lang secretly sailed to Luzon and left a stand-in in Halong Bay.

"As long as you don't show up indiscriminately, who can see through it?" Qin Lang said with a smile. He occasionally showed his side from afar on Shenlong Island to let everyone know that he is still here.

"Are you really worried that the emperor will send hundreds of cavalry to invite you back to the court?"

"I have made so many contributions to the Tang Dynasty. Now I just want to take a rest. Isn't it okay? Is this a crime?" Qin Lang believed that no matter whether it was the emperor or the prince, it would be impossible for him to be punished because of his stubbornness.

"But your marriage with Princess Changle? There is no reason to drag it on like this?"

"Aren't you afraid of hurting the princess's heart?"

"Changle is only 28 years old this year, and she is still young. How long is it, isn't it good to be long?"

Zhang Chao was speechless to Qin Lang's answer.

"Are you afraid that you will be trapped by the court and unable to get out of the court?"

"People are in the world, and they can't help but behave, and people are in the court, which is even more so." Qin Lang said.

"Then you can't never go back to Beijing, right?"

"I will definitely go to Beijing after the Treasure Island is arranged."

"Then can you come back?"

"Let's find a way."

Zhang Chao shook his head, and still couldn't understand why Qin Lang insisted on fearing the capital like a tiger, and was determined to stay away from the court, and had to run to the southern border, and even to open up the deep sea wilderness.

Qin Lang continued to look through the Tongyi Sea Channel map in his hand. There was no record of the Philippine Islands such as Luzon, and there was a blank space.
