Looking at the sand, he squatted down, pinched a handful of it with his fingers, put it in front of his nose like a fool and sniffed it, and then brought it to his eyes and looked at it carefully.

After confirming that it was really Jinsha, Zhang Qi looked at the two soldiers, and then at the other soldiers who followed him, and his face immediately turned red.

The establishment of the Huhu Army is the same as that of the Han Army's field corps, with five people as a team, two as a team, and five as a team, a combat team, and a full number of 100 soldiers.

However, because he was not executing the battle order, Zhang Qi only brought out half of his strength, that is, five tithes.

Along the way, in order to get in touch with Xinhua and to prevent getting lost, after he left the last post in the area controlled by Xinhua, he would put down two cavalry on the road every two days as a signpost for communication.

By the time they arrived, the entire expedition had less than thirty men.

"Let's go, I'll wait and see......" Zhang Qi said to the crowd.

So, the people left ten people on the hillside to guard the horses and supplies, and the others followed Zhang Qi and walked down the hill together.

The valley is still very large, and everyone went down the hill and walked more than 100 steps before they came to the river beach.

The water of the river is very clear, clean enough to reflect the appearance of people, along the banks of the river, there are no traces of human activity, and not far from the riverbank, you can also see two buckets discarded by the two daredevils just now.

He crouched down and looked at the mud and sand in the river, then he reached in and grabbed a handful of sand, and spread it on the pebbles on the ground.

In the fine sand, soon a few small yellow gravels that are inconspicuous but absolutely not to be ignored come into view.

Zhang Qi took a deep breath. Stand up and look out over the river.

the river. Needless to say, it is a tributary of the Blackwater. It winds eastward in this valley, flowing for at least a few dozen miles.

If there is such a gold content in the sand of this whole section of the river, then what a huge treasure it must be!

"At least tens of thousands of gold...... Zhang Qi said tremblingly.

The number alone is scary enough!

Even if it's the Son of Heaven, he has to be in front of such a number of wealth, regardless of face, right?

The Han family used gold as the currency.

The preciousness of gold. It is far more than all other resources.

So much so that the world is mad about gold.

There is a folk proverb that says: gold can be made, and the world can be measured.

A large group of folk alchemists and warlocks have been going crazy all day long pondering the so-called 'alchemy magic' in private, hoping to turn stones into gold and get rich overnight.

In such an atmosphere, some places, such as Handan, if. If someone is poor before, but he is angry in a dress, then it will be suspected that he has learned alchemy. Then, there will be a large number of 'chivalrous' and 'heroes' to his house to watch.

Zhang Qi listened to the Huainan generals who protected the Hao army, and even talked about it in Shouchun. Among the well-known alchemists, there are alchemy treasure books such as the so-called "Secret Art in the Pillow" and "The Book of Treasures".

But alas. Even when Liu An, the king of Huainan, was there, he spent millions of dollars. I haven't seen any real gold practiced by these guys.

However, in this world, counterfeit gold is relatively rampant.

Some poor and crazy monks cast some shoddy fake gold to deceive the people, fools and foolish people, in order to leave themselves some burial gold vessels for burial after death, they have been deceived.

So much so that when the first emperor was in power, he had to order: to abandon the market with fake gold.

Fake gold can already make people crazy.

What about real gold?

What about the real gold of tens of thousands of gold or even hundreds of thousands of gold?

Thousands of people must have died?

Zhang Qi took a deep breath.

He knows that as long as he doesn't handle this matter well, I'm afraid that this small group will soon be infighting and cannibalism.

In the face of such a huge fortune.

Who can't be tempted?

Even at a certain moment, Zhang Qi himself also had the idea of swallowing this wealth, and then going to the end of the world, incognito, and becoming a rich man.

He looked at everyone, clenched his fists and said, "Husbands, everyone has seen that the golden sand in this river is real!" ”

Everyone's eyes were staring at Zhang Qi, and their expressions were extremely nervous.

Before today, few people in this expedition had ever seen gold.

But now, a mountain of gold is in front of everyone.

Who can not be nervous? Not excited?

"But ......" Zhang Qi said to everyone: "This is God's gift, and those who are not virtuous cannot have it, even if we want to take it, we can't take it!" ”

As soon as he said this, his whole person breathed a sigh of relief.

The others let out a long sigh as well, but they all relieved their tension.

Because Zhang Qi is right.

The expedition team of less than thirty people, even if it was to recall other members along the way, was only fifty people, and there were not many dry food and supplies.

Just such a few people, compared to this section of the river that winds for dozens of miles, even if they pan for gold here until they die, how much gold can be found?

Except for the Son of Heaven, no one has the ability to eat this wealth.

Moreover, everyone's family members and heirs are all in Xinhua City.

Who can really abandon his wife, wife and brothers, even for the sake of wealth?

At the very least, no one in the audience could do it.

What's more, according to legend, the Son of Heaven sitting in Chang'an is a god who descends to earth and can communicate with ghosts and gods.

Perhaps, now, the Son of Heaven has already known about the events here through the mountain god Hebo.

Because the Han family likes to say that 'punishment without teaching is abuse', everyone knows very well what kind of punishment they will face once the matter is revealed.

At the very least, they all abandon the market, and they are even likely to affect the members of the three family groups.

"But we have already made great contributions, once we turn to Xinhua, there will be few rewards and promotions, glory and wealth, and endless enjoyment!" He raised his fists and bowed: "It can even bless the clan, so that parents, wives and children, Kunzhong will be stained!" ”

This is true.

Such a big treasure, dedicated to the imperial court, the Son of Heaven will inevitably be happy, and the reward will be a lot, and even the reward may be more than the gold panning income he has earned from working hard here.

As a result, everyone's spirits suddenly trembled, and they all bowed: "We are willing to listen to the orders of the team!" ”

Zhang Qi looked at the crowd and gave an order: "Go find some parcels and rags immediately, we are here, bring some river sand back, and if we have the real thing, we will be able to support our words!" ”

"In addition......" Zhang Qi suddenly remembered, and said solemnly to everyone: "Before seeing the captain, everyone, you must not disclose the situation and location of this valley issued by us, just in case!" ”

When everyone heard this, they also felt that it made sense.

With such a big credit, it is hard to guarantee that some guys can't help but make a trick and want to take it for themselves.

Only when I see the captain can this credit really fall to the big guy! (To be continued.) )

PS: Today will fulfill yesterday's promise, 10,000 words ~~~~~

In addition, guess what is the gold mine or Shajin River that Zhang Qi discovered?

As a reminder, although gold panning and gold mining have been banned in the local area today, many people like to brave the cold to run in China's famous tourist resorts.
