Three months later, the oil drilling team led by Wen Yongzheng and Xiao Yan dragged their tired bodies on the vast plains, heading towards the Sibi River in the Great Plains.
In a few months, the daily necessities they carried have been exhausted, and people are already quite tired and need a good rest.
Of course, after a few months, they also gained a lot and discovered more than a dozen oil fields. They needed the ruling firm to go to the Dessa Prefecture to buy all these oil fields.
The convoy kept moving forward, and Wen Yongzheng was looking around with a telescope.
The large plain in front of us is very open and vast, with extremely flat land and lush vegetation, making it perfect for grazing.
And everywhere you can see herds of bison, deer, wild sheep, and even a lot of grizzly bears, the most numerous of which are bison.
This type of bison is extremely large, with an adult weighing over a thousand kilograms, and has an extremely hot temper. It can be found in almost every corner of the entire Northern Golden Continent.
Except for the descendants of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, they have almost no natural enemies. Even if the Ming Dynasty used bows, arrows and muskets to hunt them, the results were often very mediocre. They are rough-skinned and thick-flesh, and they come in groups. If you accidentally offend them, you will be killed. They were trampled to death directly.
"Before I came here, I had heard that Huanghuangzhou has three magnificent landscapes. The Great Plains of Northern Huanghuangzhou are vast and boundless, extending from Penglai Bay to the far north and the Great Lakes region."
"The land is fertile and the water channels are abundant. It is extremely suitable for farming or grazing. It is definitely a chosen place."
"There is also the rainforest in the Southern Golden Continent. The rainforest is huge and has the largest number of tree species, animal species, and fish in the rainforest rivers in the world."
"It is said that no one has yet explored the Great Rainforest in depth. Some people say that there is a super-large gold mine hidden deep in the Great Rainforest. If you can find it, you will definitely become rich overnight, but the conditions in the Great Rainforest are really too difficult. There is no way to survive in it."
"The other one is the southernmost prairie of Nanjinzhou. The water grass is extremely rich. It is said that even ordinary cattle and sheep will become bigger and stronger wherever they go. It is said that the water grass wherever they go is the most suitable place for cattle, sheep and horses to grow. , the cattle, sheep and horses produced have now been sold to colonies and vassal states in Africa."
Looking at the vast plain in front of him and the huge herd of bison on the plain, Wen Yongzheng couldn't help but sigh.
Such a phenomenon would never be seen in the Ming Dynasty.
How could there be thousands of huge bison herds in the mainland of the Ming Dynasty?
They were all caught by the Ming people a long time ago, or they were all eaten.
But in this magical and ancient land, the bison herd is just the most common species. The number is extremely large, perhaps tens of millions of them, which is more than the number of people here in Golden Continent.
The annual migration of fish at Qianhekou is so large that every river is blocked in the huge low-lying swamps and river areas during the season. .
In the fishing grounds in the ocean near the northern border, there are so many fish that your net will burst even if you cast a net casually.
This is the Golden Continent. Not only does it have countless gold and silver mines, it also has vast fertile land and endless resources. There is no such thing as hunger here. Corn and sweet potatoes are grown here. Find a piece of land.
, sprinkle some corn cultivation, and you will have endless corn to eat.
By selling sweet potato vines into the land, you will have endless sweet potatoes in autumn. Even if you don't want to farm, you can easily get enough food by hunting.
Herds of bison, wild deer, and wild sheep can be seen everywhere, and hunting is endless.
"Yes, I have long heard about the wealth of Golden Continent."
“Only when you truly come to Golden Continent can you feel the wealth of Golden Continent. The vast land is uncultivated, countless wild animals are unhunted, unfished sea fish are not caught, and even ginseng grows here.
Just like a carrot."
Xiao Yan also sighed.
"Now I understand why Liu Gong insisted on monopolizing Golden Continent. If such a treasure land is occupied by others, wouldn't it be a waste of natural resources?"
"Yes, this is indeed a gift from God to us Ming people."
The two of them were chatting and walking forward.
"There are herdsmen in front, nomads in front~"
At this time, someone who had received it hurriedly came to report it.
When Wen Yongzheng and Xiao Yan heard this, they immediately became energetic. They hurriedly rode forward and looked forward. They saw patches of sheep appearing on the vast plains, and they could see a continuous stretch of yurts.
When Wen Yongzheng saw it, he couldn't help laughing with joy. After several months of exploring in the wilderness, he was already tired of the food he brought with him.
Now that I saw the herdsmen, I immediately burst into laughter.
The crowd galloped towards the place where the herdsmen were grazing.
Boluot is a Mongolian who responded to the imperial court's call a few years ago and moved to the Great Plains of Northern Golden Continent, where he continues to live a nomadic life.
He was quite satisfied with the life here. He was still a little uncomfortable at first, but he gradually discovered the benefits of this vast land.
The water and grass here are abundant and the land is vast, which is very suitable for grazing. Moreover, there are not too many grassland herdsmen here, so everyone can graze freely without worrying about entering the territory of other tribes.
Moreover, it is also very close to Penglai Bay, and the temperature is relatively high. Unlike the Mongolian grassland, which is very cold in winter, you don’t need to worry about the white-haired wind in winter when grazing here.
Of course, the only worry is to worry about the Yin Shang tribe here. Some of these Yin Shang tribe people are very xenophobic, very barbaric and violent.
But this is nothing to the Mongolians who are a grassland people. Horseback riding and archery are the specialty of the grassland people. More importantly, the Ming court has been severely cracking down on those tribes that are hostile to the Ming people.
.
The Ming Empire's 20,000 troops stationed in Golden Continent were mainly to combat those tribes that were hostile to the Ming Empire. Under their raids, the number of tribes that dared to be hostile to the Ming people became fewer and fewer, and more tribes were willing to recognize and accept the Ming people.
tribe.
More and more tribes began to believe that they and the Ming people were one family and had a common ancestor. They were just punished by the gods and exiled to this land. All they need to do is to constantly atone for their sins so that they can become the sun god again.
people.
This also made life easier for the Mongolians grazing herds on the Great Plains, and they did not need to be too worried.
Even because of the rich water and grass here, it has become easier for them to graze. Cattle, sheep and horses can graze on one piece of land for a long time. Within a year, they only need to move a few times. Cattle, sheep and horses can all be moved.
Became very fat.
"somebody is coming?"
At this time, he also noticed Wen Yongzheng, Xiao Yan and others coming towards him. He picked up the telescope and looked carefully. When he saw that it was the Ming Dynasty, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
You can often meet some adventurous Ming people here in Huangjinzhou. Each of these Ming people are fully armed and search for gold and silver in this ancient land.
Often when they return, they will be in tatters and look extremely miserable.
But you don’t have to worry about the Ming people doing anything bad to you. These Ming people are all wealthy people. Even the worst ones have thousands of acres of land and dozens of slaves on this great plain.
Adventure is a unique spirit of the Ming people in this land!
"Guests from afar, don't you know where you come from?"
Soon, Wen Yongzheng, Xiao Yan and others came to Boluot's side, and Boluot also asked politely in Ming dialect which was not very fluent.
"Friends on the grassland, we are the exploration team of Daming Petroleum Company in Penglai City. We are exploring for oil here in Dessa State. Now we are going back to supply supplies. We happened to meet you and wanted to buy some sheep from you."
Wen Yongzheng also said quickly.
"No problem at all. Guests from far away, please come with me~"
Upon hearing this, Boluote also warmly welcomed him.
Originally, if there were only a few people, according to the rules of the prairie people, one would have to entertain them hospitably, but there were too many people there, so there was obviously no way around it, and we could only entertain the few people in the lead.
Soon, I arrived at the yurt where Boluote and several other prairie families lived. I learned that guests were arriving, and other people came over one after another.
Such is the nomadic life. Many times, you won't see any outsiders for ten days and a half. When someone comes, everyone will naturally gather curiously. People are like this, they like to be lively and like to gather.
After Wen Yongzheng paid the money, his men and slaves began to kill the sheep and cook the mutton to eat. As for Wen Yongzheng, Xiao Yan and others, they started chatting with Boluote and others.
While chatting, you can enjoy the roasted whole lamb, and you can also drink the wine produced in Huanghuangzhou. Wine is also very cheap here in Huanghuangzhou, because the grain output here is too large to be eaten all. A large amount of grain is also used to make wine.
In order to increase the value, it was exported to Europe, African colonies and vassal states.
After drinking and feeling happy, I even picked up the Morin Fhuur and sang an ancient sad tune while playing it. However, this tune seemed to have changed after it came to the Golden Continent, and became much more cheerful.
Less sad and more carefree, just like everyone in front of me.
