Chapter 1014 The Sailing Diary of the Knowledgeable Person, the Juno Gold Mining Area, Golden Mountains and Streams!
"Praise the Lord God! The Haida people mainly live on Haida Gwaii, which is opposite the coast of Chinsian, and the scattered islands in the north. It is estimated that there are hundreds of tribes and tens of thousands of people. And in In the language of the Haida people, the meaning of "Haida" is "the sea bear people on the ancient island"... They are excellent fishermen and sailors, and they are also a rare ethnic group who are good at handicrafts among the northern tribes! It is said that in On the big island of Haida, the most powerful tribe of thousands of people is the sea bear tribe that worships sea bears. The totem pole of the sea bear tribe is a humanoid sea bear, which was transformed by their ancestors. Unfortunately, Our fleet did not go to Haida Island, but departed directly from Eagle Island to the territory of the Chingit people along the northern coast..."
"At the beginning of June, at 55 degrees north latitude, only three hundred miles away from Eagle Island, we found a peninsula close to the sea, which is a good port! Here are the Chinxian, Haida, and Chin The territories of the Git people are far away from the large tribes of thousands of people. There is no conflict in fishing and hunting territories, which is very suitable for the early stage of the kingdom. Similarly, the fishing conditions in the port are very good, especially for the long ships of the kingdom that can go deep into the ocean. One or two hundred miles deep into the sea on the west side, there is a warm ocean current where fish schools gather! On the north side of the peninsula, there is a freshwater lake, where you can try to grow potatoes..."
"Around this port, there is a small Chinxian tribe that believes in the eagle. There are only more than a hundred people. They are our 'glue brothers' who have been separated for hundreds of years! We warmly welcome the 'return' of the brothers, More than 20 weddings were held in three days, and a grand conversion ceremony was held to 'merge into one' with this brother tribe... Afterwards, the kingdom left behind a long ship, sixty kingdom warrior sailors, Together with more than a hundred tribesmen, we established the Kingdom of Eagle Wing Port!…”
"In June, eight longships headed north from Condor's Wing Port. With the help of Chinxian's guide, they entered the archipelago coast with extremely complicated waters and terrain. There are scattered islands, divided straits and seaways, and many more What a small Chingit tribe! This is already at 56-57 degrees north latitude. I have a strong premonition that the Juno Island gold mine that His Majesty revealed is not far away from us! Therefore, the fleet is constantly looking for Larger Chingit villages, to the elders of the village, ask the tribal epic, 'Mountains and streams shining with gold'..."
"The fleet visited several fishing villages, but they never got any clear news about the gold mines, and no one had heard of 'Juno'. But the elders in the village all mentioned a large ancient tribe, Du Crow tribe! According to the Chingit legend, the raven is the most intelligent bird, the creator and enlightener of the tribe. And the tribe named 'Raven' is the ancient tribe with the longest inheritance ! If the prophesied golden mountains and streams really exist, then only the old grandmother of the Raven tribe is most likely to know about it!…”
"So, we recruited two Chingit guides to lead the kingdom's fleet to visit the Raven Department in the north. The location of the Raven Department is actually not far away at the 'confluence of the four rivers and the coast'! And when When we arrived there, we immediately understood why there is a "big tribe" of thousands of people who inherits the ancient times, because the offshore fish here are too rich! On the blue and light green sea, there are pieces of seaweed floating There are also schools of fish swimming in the seaweed. In the sky, there are groups of birds attracted by the fish, singing among the mountains in late spring!..."
"Witness of the Lord God! There are more than a thousand tribesmen in the Raven tribe, and they can make up three hundred men. They are the most powerful Chingit tribe within hundreds of miles of the coast! However, such a force, compared with our eight longboats Compared with the 500 warriors in our country, it is still far from enough... We gave some bronze axes as gifts, and it was easy to meet the old grandmother of the Raven Department, the elder Black Crow Mother..."
"The black crow mother's hair is gray, and her eyes are also strangely white, but her eyes are vicissitudes and sharp. She examined me and Zuvalo, listened to our inquiries, and heard the prophecy of His Majesty... after a long time of pondering After that, she told us with pale eyes, a mysterious face, and a hoarse voice: "The golden mountains and streams are more than 500 miles away to the north, just around Wolf Island, under the golden mountains once erected by wolf totems!" ...'As for 'Juno', she has never heard of it, nor is it recorded in the tribe's epic..."
"Well... just like His Majesty said, his prophecy is only through the gaps in the leaves to see the vast sky, and there are indeed some inaccuracies... But there is no doubt that I got the news of the big gold mine in the prophecy Afterwards, the morale of the entire fleet was boosted again! We took the guide of the Raven Department with us and left the Raven Department the next day. Then, everyone mustered up their strength and rowed 500 miles in three days, and finally Arrived around Wolf Island. It is said that there are many snow wolves here, and there used to be a powerful wolf tribe. It was just decades ago that this large tribe was destroyed by a terrible cold wave, leaving only a few scattered small ones. tribe…"
"Lord God bless! Eight longships spread out and searched carefully for three days around this coast! Finally, on the afternoon of the fourth day, a really good news came, we found God's revelation' golden mountain and streams', the great Juneau gold mine that shines! . . . "
The moon sets in the west sea, and the night before dawn is the deepest and most lonely. The stars looked extraordinarily bright in the black night. The knowledgeable Mickey raised his head, looked at the stars in the sky, suddenly felt a strange feeling, and chanted softly.
"Lord God! The stars in the sky correspond to the heroes in the world. Among the shining stars, there may be one that corresponds to me!..."
"Huh? Are you a divine star?"
Hearing this, the exploration captain Zuwaro asked in a deep voice as he looked at the longing-looking Mickey with a half-smile.
"what about me?"
"Uh!... Zuvaro, among these stars, there is naturally one that corresponds to you!"
"Haha! Mickey, are you so confident?"
"Of course! The Lord God witnessed! Not to mention the northern sea route we explored, but the reserves of the large gold mine in Shenjinxi Port..."
Knowledgeable Mickey blinked and responded with a smile.
"That shiny golden mountain, the countless golden stones under the stream!...What's the matter, there are at least one hundred tons of gold reserves?"
"Haha! The Lord God blesses you! Your Majesty is divinely inspired! One hundred tons of gold, there must be some... Maybe, it's far more than that!..."
The exploration leader Zuwaro looked up, recalling the spectacular scene of discovering the Juno gold mining area, his eyes seemed to be shining with gold. He didn't know that the historical Juneau gold mining area was only discovered at the end of the 19th century, which 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 this is just a recorded number. As for the number of private mining, it is impossible to estimate. It was an era when the myth of getting rich was circulating, attracting countless people who traveled thousands of miles and came here without fear of bitter cold and death...
Thinking of the endless golden mountains and the astonishing wealth hidden in that island, Zuvaro couldn't help it, so he recited two poems on the spot.
"Ah! The golden mountains, the golden light, the golden streams, the golden sea! The divine blood of the Lord God spilled all over the ground, turning into gold mines on the islands and the earth, shining golden light everywhere!...Ah! I went down with a shovel, It’s a suite in Wangdu!…”
"Well?!…"
The knowledgeable Mickey was about to record, when he heard the back, his head was immediately covered with black lines.
"Zuvalo! What are you singing nonsense about? With a shovel, you can get at most a dozen catties of gold placer. Although the gold content of the gold placer in the Northland is frighteningly high, it is a full tenth, but it is burnt into the gold nuggets of the kingdom. It’s only seven or eight taels! How can you buy a house in the capital of Qincongcan King with less than a catty of gold? You can buy a thatched hut outside the city at most! If you want to buy a brick and stone house, what do you do? There must be more than a dozen catties of gold nuggets, right? Hundreds of catties of gold placer should be loaded to burn!..."
"Well, yes! Mickey, your math is really good! Haha, then I'll change it a little bit!..."
The exploration captain Zuwaro smiled and changed the lyrics a little, which is the simplest expectation of people for thousands of years.
"Ah! The Lord God guided me to find the golden golden mountain and stand on the golden golden mountain!...Ah! I go down with a sack, and it's a suite in the capital! Go down with another sack, and it's my son's room!...Ah! A house with grandchildren! So many big houses!…”
The confident and heroic singing voice sang under the shining starry sky, as if even the stars were shining with golden light. The Juno Gold Mine, the Blood River Gold Mine, the Yukon Gold Mine... This desolate and cold northern land is dormant with so many amazing wealth, and also contains the most simple and shining power!
And such golden power, once obtained by the kingdom and known by the other side of the sea, is enough to move the country on the other side of the sea! It is like the stars shining in the night sky, it will be a bonfire shining on the coast, attracting countless moths to the flame, at all costs, regardless of life and death! ~
