The advantage of Fang Jifan is that.

No matter what the disciples and grandchildren want to do, Fang Jifan can always try his best to support him.

This is not ordinary spiritual support, people who are generally mentally supported at every turn are scum and scum, Fang Jifan is different, he also provides material security.

Crossing the Bering Strait is of great significance.

On the one hand, it found a way to cross two continents overland and get directly to Alaska.

You know, the Golden Continent is so big that under the current traffic conditions, it is impossible to go from east to west, or from north to south.

Xu Jing and others found a way to reach the Golden Continent through Kunlun Continent, so they are now migrating the population to the central part of the Americas or Venezuela in the future.

The Zhang Heling brothers, looking for a way to cross the Pacific Ocean, can ride the ocean current, reach the east coast of Mexico, and then spread all over the southern Golden Continent to establish settlements.

However, when people arrived in this vast Golden Continent, how to establish more settlements became a problem, and between the South Golden Continent and the Northern Golden Continent, there was a huge desert, and under the current conditions, it was very difficult to cross. Not to mention, in between, there may be natives with unknown friends or foes at any time, and even the possibility of encountering the Franco, not to mention, there are countless forests and mountains across it.

One of the ways to get to the North Golden Continent directly, or even there, to slowly establish settlements and pass directly through the Bering Strait before the Francois is preemptive.

Although there are countless dangers and obstacles in this process, it can be described as a thousand difficulties, but no matter how difficult it is, compared with the Great Voyage, it is actually half a catty to eight taels.

In this era, it is even more difficult to break through the limitations of geography, and the great voyage of the Francois is also paved through blood and tears.

In addition, the most important thing for this adventure is to accumulate enough experience and slowly find a set of methods in the vast ice field.

After the Great Voyage in history, there have been countless adventure teams in the Franco, they crossed the swamp, crossed the ice field, and crossed the desert, people only saw the magnificence of the Great Voyage, but they did not know that countless explorers left footprints in all directions of the world.

Now, the Xiaoice River period is an opportunity.

Fang Jifan cheered up and immediately went to the palace.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't expect Fang Jifan to come out of the west when the sun hit, and he actually took the initiative to come to meet him, so he pulled his face: "If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace." ”

"Yes." Fang Jifan said: "Erchen has a charter here, and please look at it Your Majesty." ”

Xiao Jing sent the charter to Emperor Hongzhi, Emperor Hongzhi opened it, glanced at it, and said in surprise: "If you can go to the Golden Continent by land, why do you want to go to the West......"

"Uh......" Fang Jifan was silent for a moment: "Your Majesty, the land route is also full of dangers, you need to cross the strait and ice fields, and there are endless ice and snow, Erchen ......"

"Oh." Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "In this way, this risk is greater than sailing." ”

Fang Jifan said: "Among the princes, the person who put forward this theory is Wang Wenyu, the disciple of the son, Wang Wenyu, Your Majesty wants to have an impression, that is, at the beginning, the person who put forward the theory of the circle of the earth, he was a bachelor of Hanlin in the Academy of Sciences, and in the Imperial Palace, His Majesty wanted to come to many things, all of which were referred to by him, and he recommended himself, hoping to organize an expedition to open up a land route. ”

Emperor Hongji gasped.

These guys from Xishan Academy are really crazier than the other.

Go up the mountain and down to the sea, and everyone seems to die.

Emperor Hongzhi has seen the map.

The Nuer Gandusi that the Ming Dynasty can control, the extreme cold there is already the limit of human activities, and they have to go north, even ...... To the east, I want to cross a frozen strait.

That's not all, God knows if there is still a strait, is there any freezing, if it is up, it is just an ice floe?

There are too many variables here.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "This expedition should be of such a huge scale? ”

"Yes, at least prepare the scale of two thousand people, Your Majesty, on the one hand, there is a need for enough manpower at the moment, mutual assistance, the possibility of their survival is greater, and in order to cross the strait, there must be enough supplies, that thousands of miles of ice field, the materials are easy to handle, the snow is smooth, if there is a sled, you can bring sufficient supplies. But the most terrifying thing is that on that snowy field, wolves and other beasts can attack at any time, if the number is too small, a wolf attack is enough to wipe them out......"

Fang Jifan wants to play a big ticket.

"So, how much silver do you need?" Emperor Hongzhi frowned again.

Fang Jifan thought for a while: "Here in Xishan, I am ready to raise 100,000 taels, and if it is His Majesty's internal funds, I am willing to take out some ......."

Emperor Hongzhi groaned for a long time: "Since there are so many people, and they are all warriors of my Ming Dynasty, if you can really cross this ice field, it will be a great achievement." ”

As he spoke, he ordered someone to take out the map.

At present, the west bank of the entire Golden Continent, the dogs and teeth are intertwined, there are many settlements of the Franco-Rang machine and the Ming Dynasty, this is the factory guard from the Franco-Rang man's information, extremely inaccurate, but it has been determined that many Franco-Rang people, on the east bank of the North Golden Continent, there are already a lot of settlements.

And between the north and south Golden Continent, there is a desert, which is like a moat for Lu Guogong and others.

If you want to catch up with the development and growth of the Francois people in the North Golden Continent, the rapid migration of a large number of people in the North Golden Continent, especially on its west coast, will make it form a corner with the immigrants of the South Golden Continent and restrain the Francois people, then ...... It seems like an option.

Emperor Hongzhi gently tapped the case with his hand: "This is the foundation of the country, only success, not failure, I also took out 100,000 taels of silver, if it is not enough, Qing will raise it, I have always thought that there are not many people in the court who are keen on the Golden Continent, as if this Golden Continent has nothing to do with them, and these ministers of mine cannot teach them to stay out of the matter." Jifan, what do you think? ”

"It's easy to do." Fang Jifan said: "Private placement of silver, fool...... No, it's not fooling, it's to solicit funds for expeditions from hundreds of officials, and at the same time, the proceeds of expeditions will be given dividends, Your Majesty thinks, how about this? ”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "Sure enough, you still have a way, it's just ...... Will they be willing? ”

Fang Jifan said: "If you tell them that this expedition is a life of nine deaths, they will definitely refuse." ”

Emperor Hongzhi Fu case: "How to deal with it, I don't care." ”

"Understood." Fang Jifan was happy in his heart.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "These days, the clan relatives are starting to enter Beijing one after another, these are all relatives of the emperor, they have entered Beijing, I can't leave it alone, I have to let them stay in Beijing, stay comfortable." The...... Let King Xing, that is, my younger brother, be in charge of the affairs of the clan, you are a colt, and you must also help from the side. ”

Fang Jifan bowed: "Erchen understands. "It just so happens that His Royal Highness King Xing's mansion has almost been built.

…………

The expedition began to be formed.

This was the first geographical expedition of Xishan Academy, and their first expedition was to directly choose the hell mode.

Therefore, Fang Jifan needed a large number of recruits, prepared dry food along the way, as well as warm clothing, and all supplies.

The cost of this is not small.

Because they have to face extremely bad weather, only talk about warm clothing, ordinary clothes are not enough, in order to ensure that they do not freeze to death, all clothes need to be specially made.

Dry food needs to be light to carry and at the same time be able to replenish enough calories.

There are also weapons, and they encountered wolves, but they are not a joke.

Medicines also need to be prepared.

Most of the selected people are mainly sergeants from Liaodong, and they have a certain understanding of the snowy weather.

And be sure to be enough loyal servants, and under the heavy reward, there will be brave men, and the heavy reward will be silver.

Hearing that there is a land route that can reach the Golden Continent, many people suddenly became curious.

After that, Nishiyama began to issue expedition bonds.

If they are willing to fund the expedition to the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the mines and land discovered by the expedition can be distributed according to the proportion of shares in the future.

Immediately, there was news that 100,000 silver was invested in the palace, and 100,000 silver was also invested in Xishan.

At this moment, many people could not sit still.

Land......

The Golden Continent has long been proven to contain countless fertile lands and minerals.

In the past few years, Daming's dependence on minerals has become more and more large, of course, now, the minerals from the distant Golden Continent to supply Daming's needs are obviously unrealistic, but ...... There are a lot of precious metals in the Golden Continent.

This thing, but everyone has seen with their own eyes, countless ships directly pulled gold and silver to Tianjin Port, and I don't know how many people became rich overnight.

But now, the Golden Continent can be reached by land.

If it did, wouldn't that be ...... Tenfold, hundredfold returns.

The Zhang brothers took the lead and couldn't sit still.

Since then, many people have begun to gather around Xishan to find out the truth of the news.

As for the West Mountain, it's just a fragment.

Fang Jifan was sick.

Boy...... Qi Guogong was actually sick, he was young, he was not sick at other times, but it happened that he was sick at this time, this dog thing, he didn't bring everyone with him when he got rich.

The more this is the case, the more anxious everyone becomes.

Now that the value of silver is depreciating day by day, it is really an anxious thing to keep the silver in your hand and watch your wealth shrink day by day, except for buying a mansion.

Now there's such a good thing...... At first, everyone couldn't figure out why...... Xishan will issue stock bonds, but then, someone figured it out.

First the palace shares, and then Xishan, the palace into 100,000 taels, that Fang family, how dare to have more shares than His Majesty, therefore, can only enter 100,000 taels, but the rest of the silver, where to raise?
