Chapter One Thousand and Fourteen The Voyage Diary of the Knowledgeable Man, the Great Gold Mine Area of Juneau, the Golden Mountains and Streams!
"Praise the Lord God! The Haida people mainly live on Haida Gwaii (Haida Gwaii) opposite the coast of Qinsian, and on scattered islands in the north. It is estimated that there are hundreds of tribes and tens of thousands of people in total. And in
In the language of the Haida people, the meaning of 'Haida' is 'the sea bear people of the ancient islands'... They are excellent fishermen and sailors, and they are also one of the few tribes in the north who are good at crafts! It is said that in
On Haida Island, the most powerful tribe of a thousand people is the Sea Bear Tribe, which worships sea bears. The Sea Bear Tribe’s totem pole is a human-shaped sea bear, which was transformed by their ancestors. Unfortunately,
Our fleet did not go to Haida Island, but set off directly from Eagle Island to the territory of the Chingit people on the northern coast..."
"At the beginning of June, at 55 degrees north latitude, only 300 miles away from the Eagle Island coast of the archipelago, we found a peninsula close to the sea, which is a good port! Here are the Qinxi'an, Haida and Qin people
The territory bordering the Gith people is far away from large tribes of thousands, and there are no conflicts over fishing and hunting territories, which is very suitable for the kingdom to establish a foothold in the early stage. Similarly, the fishing conditions in the port area are very good, especially for the kingdom's longships that can penetrate deep into the ocean.
One or two hundred miles into the sea on the west side, there is the warm current where fish gather! And on the north side of the peninsula, there is a freshwater lake where you can try growing potatoes..."
"Around this port, there is a small Qinxi'an tribe that believes in the condor. There are only more than a hundred people. They are our 'Jiao brothers' who have been separated for hundreds of years! We warmly welcomed the 'return' of our brothers.
More than twenty weddings were held in three days, and a grand conversion ceremony was held to "fuse into one" with this brother tribe... Afterwards, the kingdom left a long ship and sixty warriors and sailors from the kingdom.
Together with more than a hundred tribesmen, we established the Kingdom’s Eagle Wing Port!…”
"In June, eight longships sailed north from the Eagle Wing Port. With the help of Qinxi'an guide, they entered the coast of the archipelago with extremely complex water terrain. There are scattered islands everywhere, separated straits and seaways, and many more.
What a small Chingit tribe! This is already at 56-57 degrees north latitude. I have a strong hunch that the gold mine on Juno Island revealed by Your Majesty is not far away from us! Therefore, the fleet keeps searching
In the larger Chingit village, I asked the elders of the village for advice on the 'mountains and streams shimmering with golden light' in the tribal epic..."
"The fleet visited several fishing villages, but never received any clear news about gold mines, and no one had heard of 'Juno'. However, the elders in the villages all mentioned an ancient large tribe that crossed the river.
Crow Tribe! In the legend of the Chingit people, the raven is the most intelligent divine bird and the creator and enlightener of the tribe. The tribe named "Raven" is the ancient tribe with the longest inheritance.
!If the golden mountains and streams in the prophecy really exist, then only the old grandmother of the Raven tribe is the most likely to know about it!..."
"So, we recruited two Chingit guides to lead the kingdom's fleet to visit the Raven Tribe in the north. The location of the Raven Tribe is at the 'intersection of four rivers and the coast', which is actually not that far away! And when
When we arrived there, we immediately understood why there was an ancient 'big tribe' of thousands of people here, because the offshore fisheries here were so rich! There were patches of seaweed floating on the blue and light green water.
The seaweed is also dragging swarms of fish. In the sky, birds attracted by the fish are hovering, singing among the mountains in late spring!..."
"Witness the Lord God! There are more than a thousand tribesmen in the Raven tribe, and they can gather 300 men. They are the most powerful Chingit tribe within hundreds of miles of coast! However, with such power, and our eight longships
Compared with the five hundred warriors, it is still far insufficient... We gave some bronze axes as gifts, and we easily met the old grandmother of the Raven Tribe, the elder Black Crow Mother..."
"The black crow mother's hair is white, and her eyes are also strangely white, but her eyes are vicissitudes and sharp. She looked at Zuvalo and me, listened to our inquiries, and also heard about His Majesty's divine prophecy... After a long period of meditation
After that, her eyes turned white, her face was mysterious, and she told us in a hoarse voice: "The golden mountains and streams are more than five hundred miles away in the north, around Wolf Island, under the golden mountains where the wolf totem once stood!"
...'As for 'Juno', she has never heard of it, and there is no record in the tribal epic..."
"Well... just like His Majesty said, his prediction is just looking at the vast sky through the gaps in the leaves. It is true that there will be inaccuracies... But there is no doubt that he got the news about the big gold mine in the prediction.
After that, the morale of the entire fleet was boosted again! We took the guide from the Raven Division and left the Raven Division the next day. Then, everyone mustered up their strength and rowed five hundred miles in three days, and finally
Arriving around Wolf Island. It is said that there are many snow wolves here, and there used to be a powerful wolf tribe. Only a few decades ago, this large tribe was destroyed by the terrible cold wave, leaving only a few scattered small tribes.
tribe…"
"Blessed by the Lord God! Eight long ships spread out and surrounded this coast, searching carefully for three days! Finally, on the afternoon of the fourth day, a real piece of good news came. We found the golden mountains in the God's Qi Zhong
And the stream', that continuous shining gold mine of Juneau!..."
The moon sets over the Western Sea, and the night before dawn is the deepest and most lonely. The stars are particularly shining in the black night. Mickey, the knowledgeable man, raised his head and looked at the stars in the sky, and suddenly had a wonderful feeling.
Chanting in a low voice.
"O Lord God! The stars in the sky correspond to the heroes on earth. Perhaps one of those shining stars corresponds to me!..."
"Huh? Are you a divine star?"
Hearing this, the exploration captain Zuvalo smiled half-heartedly, looked at the knowledgeable Mickey with a yearning look on his face, and asked in a deep voice.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "What about me?"
"Uh!... Zuvalo, among these stars, there is naturally one that corresponds to you!"
"Haha! Mickey, are you so confident?"
"Of course! Witness the Lord God! Not to mention the northern route we are exploring, the reserves of the large gold mine in Shenjinxi Port alone..."
Mickey the Knowledgeable blinked and responded with a smile.
"Those shining golden mountains, and the countless golden stones under the stream!...Why, there are at least a hundred tons of gold reserves, right?"
"Haha! Blessed by the Lord God! His Majesty's divine inspiration! There must be one hundred tons of gold...perhaps, it is far more than that!..."
Exploration captain Zuvallo raised his head, recalling the spectacular scene of the discovery of the Juneau Gold Mine, and his eyes seemed to be shining with gold. He did not know that the historical Juneau Gold Mine was only discovered at the end of the 19th century.
, set off the first wave of "gold rush" in Alaska. In just over a hundred years of mining, this large open-pit gold mining area has produced at least 15 million ounces, or 420 tons of gold! And
These are only recorded figures. As for the amount of private mining, there is no way to estimate it. It was an era where the myth of sudden wealth spread, attracting countless people to travel thousands of miles, not afraid of bitter cold and death...
Thinking of the endless golden mountains and the astonishing wealth contained in that island, Zuvalo couldn't help but recited two lines of poetry on the spot.
"Ah! Golden mountains, golden light, golden streams, golden seas! The blood of the Lord God spilled all over the ground, turning into gold mines on the islands and the earth. There was shining golden light everywhere! ...Ah! I shoveled it down,
It’s just an apartment in the royal capital!…”
"Well?!…"
Mikey, the knowledgeable man, was about to record it. When he heard the following, his head was immediately filled with black lines.
"Zuvaro! What are you talking about? With a shovel, you can get at most a dozen kilograms of placer gold. Although the gold content of the placer gold in the North is frighteningly high, it is a full tenth of it, but when it is burned into gold nuggets of the Kingdom,
It’s only seven or eight taels! With less than a pound of gold, how can you buy a house in the capital of Qin Congcan? The most you can buy is a hut outside the city! If you want to buy a brick house, what are you going to do?
There must be more than a dozen kilograms of gold nuggets, right? Hundreds of kilograms of placer gold need to be loaded and burned!…”
"Yeah, that's right! Mickey, your math is really good! Haha, then I'll change it a little!..."
Exploration captain Zuvallo smiled and slightly changed the lyrics to reflect the simplest expectations of people for thousands of years.
"Ah! The Lord God guided me to find the golden mountain of gold and stand on the golden mountain of gold!...Ah! As soon as I got down with the sack, it was an apartment in the royal capital! After another sack, it was my son's room!...Ah! Still...
Room for grandson! So many big rooms!…”
The confident and heroic singing was sung under the shining starry sky, as if even the stars were shining with golden light. The Juneau Gold Mine, the Blood River Gold Mine, the Yukon Gold Mine... this desolate and cold extreme north.
There is so much amazing wealth sleeping in the earth, and it also contains the most simple and shining power!
And once such golden power is obtained by the kingdom and known by the other side of the sea, it will be enough to stir up the country on the other side of the sea! It is like the stars shining in the night sky, and it will be a shining bonfire on the coast, attracting countless people to put out the fire.
The moth, at all costs, regardless of life and death!~
