Hundreds of fast horses galloped on the vast Siberian plains. The leader was Zhu Houzhao, who was dressed in a smart suit. He was wearing shorts, a machete on his waist, and a bow and arrow on his back. There were stains on both sides of the bloody horse.
There are crossbows and muskets.
Some of the guards around him were following Zhu Houzhao, protecting him at all times, while others were looking for prey for the Crown Prince to hunt.
"Your Highness, this is Siberia. It is extremely vast and rich in products. The prey here is definitely the largest, and many of them are large prey."
Next to Zhu Houzhao, Zhang Cai followed closely. With the help of several beauties he collected, he successfully got close to Zhu Houzhao, and even encouraged Zhu Houzhao to come hunting here in the Siberian plains.
"Yeah~"
Zhu Houzhao came to a hill, stopped slowly, and looked up at the vast wilderness in front of him.
The clear stream winding down from the snow-capped mountains in the distance is like a jade belt, crisscrossing the vast wilderness. At the foot of the mountain is a vast primitive jungle. The unique tree species of the cold zone are lush and verdant in this midsummer.
Nearby is a grassland full of flowers. Flowers of various colors form a beautiful sea of flowers, and the water and grass are lush. You can see a large number of deer roaming freely, and strong male deer colliding with each other.
The land is desolate but full of vitality. From time to time, the roar of bears, the howls of wolves, and the play of foxes can be heard in the distance. The picture is extremely beautiful!
“It’s really beautiful!”
Zhu Houzhao looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him and couldn't help but admire it.
Along the way, he had seen a lot of various beautiful scenery, but the Siberian plain in front of him had a different kind of beauty.
Everything here seems to be blooming in the middle of summer, racing against time to enjoy the short summer and enjoy the warm sunshine.
"Your Highness, this Siberian summer is the most beautiful summer I have ever seen."
"Although it is extremely cold here in the winter, with ice and snow, and everything is frozen, but this summer, everything is revived and full of vitality."
“There are nearly a hundred species of various animals in this vast Siberian plain, including arctic deer, sables, foxes, beavers, wolves, bears, lynx, roe deer, rabbits, marmots, tigers, etc., all kinds of
Many of the animals are extremely precious, and the fur they produce is extremely expensive.”
"Like sable, a complete sable skin even here in Winter City costs up to five hundred taels of silver. Now in the capital, a sable coat cannot be bought without a few thousand taels of silver.
"
"In addition to various animals, there are dozens of precious fish species in the vast Siberian rivers and lakes, such as sturgeon, pike, burbot, perch, etc., all of which are cold-water fish.
The meat is extremely delicious and there are very few bones. It is a good product. Your Highness is here, but you must try it. I have already ordered people to catch it, so we can enjoy it when we return to Winter City."
"There are also more than 300 species of birds that fly in the sky, such as golden eagles, swans, wild ducks, gray herons, loons, sea eagles, etc. Every summer, they fly everywhere in Siberia.
In the lakes, they can be seen everywhere in groups, and their numbers are very large.”
"In addition to the animal resources in the vast Siberian region, the forest resources are even more remarkable. Birch, rowan, red pine, aspen, fir, spruce, etc. are all excellent wood, used for making furniture and ships.
They are all excellent materials.”
"It's just that Siberia is deserted, the winter is too cold, too long, and transportation is inconvenient. Therefore, even if we guard such a treasure trove, it is difficult to develop here in Siberia."
Zhang Cai pointed to the vast Siberian Plain in front of him and introduced the resources of the Siberian Plain to Zhu Houzhao in detail.
“Sounds like a really nice place.”
Zhu Houzhao nodded while listening.
"Your Highness, of course it is a good place."
"This Siberia not only has a variety of animals and trees, but also a lot of various minerals. Currently we have discovered coal mines around Winter City, and I heard that some people have discovered gold mines. But
I don’t know if it’s true or false.”
Zhang Cai nodded solemnly.
When he came here, he studied the place carefully. Although there were a little less people here and it was indeed too cold in winter, the place was indeed a good place.
The meat here is very cheap, and all kinds of wild animal resources are so abundant. There are so many fish in the river that you can cast a net and it will be filled with good cold water.
The fish has delicious meat and no bones.
Compared with the Guannai side of the Ming Dynasty, the fish in the river are very rare. Basically, they are crucian carp, carp, silver carp and the like. The meat is not good and there are many bones. They are not as good as the cold water fish here.
"Is there a gold mine here?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Of course, there is everything in this vast Siberian plain. I heard that gold mines are mainly found in the Altai Mountains. Every year, many people from the Western Region enter the vast Altai Mountains to look for gold."
Zhang Cai said seriously: "Now everyone only knows that there are gold mines in the Golden Continent, but they don't know that the gold mines in Siberia are not much less than those in the Golden Continent. It's just that it's too cold here and it's extremely difficult to mine. There are not many people."
Just came to investigate."
"In that case, Siberia is a treasure trove given to us Ming people by God?"
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly. Although Ming Dynasty had obtained Siberia, it still knew very little about it.
When the northern grasslands of the Ming Dynasty reached the Beihai area, even herders rarely went north to nomadic herds, because it was too cold. In winter, the ice and snow, the cold wind, almost all white-haired winds, the most cold-resistant herdsmen
There is no way to survive in these areas.
No one knows how many resources there are in this vast Siberia, but some people have come to a conclusion after exploring further north.
That is, there is an extremely vast area and land all the way to the north, which can even extend into the Arctic Circle.

The people of Ming Dynasty still know too little about this vast land.
"Yes, Your Highness, this is definitely the treasure house of the Ming Dynasty given to us by God."
"Even if we can't develop it now, our descendants may be able to develop it in a few hundred years."
Zhang Cai nodded solemnly. He used to be just a pedantic censor Hanlin who didn't care about anything outside the Ming Dynasty, but he was demoted to Winter City and learned about it in detail here.
Only then did he understand that the world is so vast, with countless fertile places, and that the mainland of the Ming Dynasty was actually relatively average.
"Boom~boom!"
At this time, in the sky not far away, a firework soared into the sky and sounded in the sky.
"Your Highness, there is prey here!"
It turned out that Zhu Houzhao's guards had surrounded a group of prey and informed Zhu Houzhao to go hunting.
"Haha, let's go hunting!"
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately galloped over on his horse. While riding, he began to bend his bow and arrow. He was so skillful that he could not tell that he was a prince who grew up in a deep palace.
