Chapter 206: Treasure Island
"Good thing, we should deal with the local aborigines as soon as possible and try to start mining as soon as possible." Chen Xun responded. Chen Xun knew that Taiwan Island has the largest natural sulfur reserves in my country.

In addition to sulfur, there are also high coal reserves in the northern mountainous areas. People will be arranged to search carefully in the future.

"Also, our people discovered natural nugget gold in the local aboriginal tribe. The purity is very high. There must be a gold mine near that tribe." The intelligence officer continued to report.

"Oh? So fast?" Chen Xun said in surprise.

"Fast?" the intelligence officer was confused.

Chen Xun knew that he had spilled the beans in desperation. He came from later generations and knew that after exploration in later generations, Taiwan's gold reserves were only slightly less than those of the mainland. Comparing the area of ​​Taiwan Island with the area of ​​the mainland, we can know that Taiwan Island How rich are the gold reserves?

It doesn’t lose the title of “Treasure Island” at all.

"It's okay, just give me the information and I'll read it myself." Chen Xun asked for the letter from the intelligence officer and asked him to go back, while he returned to the camp.

The letter was written very clearly, and it also briefly described the military government's development process of Daliuqiu Island. As of now, the military government has discovered a large number of valuable resources on Daliuqiu Island.

In addition to the sulfur mines and gold mines mentioned by the intelligence officers just now, the coal mines also have clues, and there are also copper mines, which are basically concentrated in the northeast of Daliuqiu Island. There is a large river flowing from the mountainous area in the middle of Daliuqiu Island. It is convenient for Chen Jiajun's navy to enter by boat, avoiding conflicts with aborigines in the mountains.

Chen Xun guessed that this river should be the Keelung River in later generations, and the place where the minerals were discovered should be the Ruifang and Jinguashi areas in later generations.

It seems that I have to grab it with both hands, both hands are going to be hard.

To live here in the north, Hainan Island and Daliuqiu Island in the south must also be developed as soon as possible.

It just so happened that the gray wolf species had reached level three, and after a round of strengthening, it was already comparable to a liger.With these gray wolf species, Chen Jiajun's advantage in the forest will increase dramatically.

"Come here!" Chen Xun shouted outside.

"Captain!" the men guarding outside the tent came in and responded.

"Here's the order. While each army group is fighting, they will send people to collect all medium-sized and above domestic dogs in the civilian population. Those with owners will pay to buy them. The wild dogs will be captured directly and they will all be brought to me." After Chen Xun finished speaking, he immediately Added another sentence: "Those who are alive must have sound limbs."

"Yes!" After receiving the order, his subordinates went directly out of the tent to deliver the order.

……

It has been half a year since Chen Liu came to Daliuqiu Island.

In leap November last year, Chen Xun led most of the Chen family's troops northward. The military government immediately began to forcibly recruit unstable elements in the country and send them to Daliuqiu Island.

After a large number of unstable factors have passed, it is natural to have someone to lead it, otherwise it is very likely to escape the control of Chen Jiajun.

Chen Liu saw the opportunity and led most of the young people from the original Yan Village to sign up and come to Daliuqiu Island.

Before coming, Chen Liu thought that the island was small and he could work with his big brother. Who would have thought that after coming here, Chen Liu realized that the entire land area of ​​Daliuqiu Island was actually comparable to Guangnan East Road and was very vast.

From the first day he set foot on Daliuqiu Island until now, Chen Liu has only met his eldest brother once, and he came to see him during the Chinese New Year holiday.Now the military government on Daliuqiu Island has become more than just a stronghold on the territory of the Makado tribe. After fighting dozens of large and small battles with the indigenous people, the indigenous people on the island have not taken any advantage. Finally, he was forced to acquiesce to the military government's erosion of Daliuqiu Island.

Fortunately, the military government's policy was relatively gentle. Instead of killing the indigenous people, they included them and spent money and supplies to hire them to work. This not only improved their lives, but also preserved the villages where they lived before.

"Dawu, is this the place?" Chen Liu asked the aborigines who were leading the way.

"Yes, here, find gold." Dawu stuttered back in unfamiliar Chinese.

As the military government began to develop Daliuqiu Island on a large scale, there was an immediate shortage of talents who could speak both Chinese and Aboriginal languages. The income of many Aboriginal people who could communicate fluently with both sides was already the same as that of the Han people.

Even Dawu, who can only communicate simply, earns two or three times that of ordinary aboriginal workers.

"Don't let us make another trip in vain." Chen Liu muttered in a low voice, and the miners behind him who knew how to prospect for minerals began to work on the mountainside in front of them.

"Dahuang, go take a look around." The person responsible for raising the dogs began to instruct them to disperse for investigation.

"Woof! Woof! Woof!" The three domestic dogs were very obedient. After receiving the order, they immediately dispersed in three directions: forward, left and right.

After a while, a continuous barking suddenly came from the front right, and then a native dog sprang out from the bushes, barked at Chen Liu and others several times, and then got into the bushes.

"Follow me!" Chen Liu understood that the behavior of this domestic dog indicated that there was a new discovery ahead, and it was profitable.

If it is dangerous, the domestic dog's mood will not be so calm.

Several people followed him and walked roughly three to four hundred steps. After pushing aside the branches blocking his view, Chen Liu saw a small valley where hundreds of deer gathered.

"This..." There was no light in the east and light in the west. The few people who ventured out to look for gold mines did not find the gold mines, but actually found the deer first.

"Baozheng, we've sent it." The confidant next to him came from Yancun, so he kept his old title.

"Yes, we have made it." Now the deer on Daliuqiu Island are full of treasures. Not to mention the deliciousness of the meat, the antlers on their heads are already worth a lot of money.

"Quick, go back and call for help. We can't take it down." When Chen Liu and others came out, they had a clear purpose of prospecting, so the weapons they carried were mainly for self-defense. Only Chen Liu had a crossbow that the Chen family army had retreated from. None of the others have ranged weapons.

"Okay, I'll go back right away." The confidant quickly unloaded the heavy prospecting equipment on his body, and then took a family dog, turned around and left quickly towards the way he came.

"These aborigines are really wasteful. They occupied the treasure island without realizing it. Before we came, they were still struggling to have enough food and clothing." Chen Liu lamented that since he came to the island, he has made huge profits.

But he didn't realize that without Chen Jiajun supporting him, how could he explore the mountains so freely? Without Chen Jiajun's technical and equipment support, how could he easily deal with the beasts in the mountains? How can he keep his body healthy without taking all kinds of proprietary medicines.

Just like the deer in front of you, the aborigines used wood and stone weapons, and a dozen people hunted them. They could only kill one or two after a tiring day, and they might return empty-handed.

And he, Chen Liu, could bring down three or five of them in just a few breaths with just the crossbow in his hand, and he would only worry about how to transport the harvest home.
