Chapter 24 Golden
"They have tens of thousands of people."
Li Asheng asked another question. Although this guy has always been very uncooperative and likes to make trouble for Guo Jinzhang, it is not that he doesn't admit that the question he raised is indeed worth considering. There are only eight of them in Denver. If those white people are stimulated, they really have no way out.
"What is a common people? A common people are not organized or orderly, just like a pile of loose sand. Moreover, we just need to rush out and set fire... Think about it, what are you thinking first if your own home is on fire?" Guo Jinzhang asked back.
"Put the fire!" Jian Wang said.
"Isn't that all!" Guo Jinzhang spread his hands and said.
"I'm talking about what if, what if!" Li Asheng emphasized again.
"Then go to the court!" Guo Jinzhang said.
"Court?" Everyone was stunned.
"A few big names in Denver City, except for the mayor in front of us, there are two more!" Guo Jinzhang looked out through the window. Charlotte and others were still honest. They were staying outside the two hundred meters street, without any movement: "One is the local inspector. We don't know this person, and his house is not nearby. It should be far away from us, but the other is different, judge! That guy and Charlotte are colluding with him. It's not a good thing. It's almost noon now, and he has a high chance of staying in the court. Moreover, the court is not like the police station. Although there are several bailiffs, they will definitely not be able to stop them with the explosives in our hands. As long as we can rush into the court and catch that shitty judge, Charlotte is going to be a slut and dare not do anything randomly!"
"Do you want to avenge yourself?" Li Asheng glanced at him suspiciously, his eyes very wrong.
"It's such a meaning." Guo Jinzhang did not deny it, "but that is indeed a way out."
"Well, I said..." Hou Nan suddenly leaned over and looked at him, "Are you Jin Zhang?"
"Of course, it's like a fake one." Guo Jinzhang touched his chin, "Uncle Hou, do you think I have changed? Or do you think I don't look like it was?"
"Aren't this all the same?" Qian Shide said angrily.
"It's indeed a little different from before. Jin Zhang used to be an honest child, but now you..." Hou Nan shook his head, probably thinking that it's not good to say this, so he carefully compared Guo Jinzhang with the boy he had in his impression, but he still felt that something was wrong.
"Uncle Hou, if you are like me for a few days in a row, you may be more experienced than me!" Guo Jinzhang smiled bitterly, "To put it bluntly, this person is actually forced. Let's not talk about the distance, but the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom occupied most of China. But before Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing made trouble, who would have thought that they could really achieve such a great career? Even Hong Xiuquan and the others themselves, I'm afraid they didn't expect it? What do you think?"
"That's true!" Liu Tongfu nodded, "When Zhu Hongwu became a beggar, he definitely didn't expect that he would become the emperor one day!"
"Compared with others? Are we the ones?" Li Asheng glared at the two of them singing together, "Besides, even if you have that ability, this is the United States. Is there a place where you can accomplish things? There are white people all over the world."
"That's really hard to say." Guo Jinzhang smiled, "Actually, I'm thinking of a place now, which is also the territory of Americans. But as long as we can get there, no matter how great the Americans are, they will be able to do anything to us."
"You are not talking about the Rocky Mountain, aren't you?" Zhao Dachang rolled his eyes while rolling his eyes: "I tell you, we don't have the ability to live in it. Let alone us, even those Indians have never heard of living on that mountain... Not to mention the groups of wolves, bears, leopards, etc., who can stand the snow in winter? That can freeze to death."
"I know these, and I never thought of letting everyone live in the mountains." Guo Jinzhang gave this guy a blank look. If he had no knowledge, he would be unaware. What's the good thing about Rocky Mountain? If he was the guy who lived in the city in later generations who were worse than death, he had to go to the mountains and fields to find some excitement? But that's it. I haven't heard of anyone who dared to spend a long time in the deep mountains and forests. Has it been great, right? In this way, people often couldn't get out after entering, which caused the government to issue warnings from time to time.
"It's not Rocky Mountain, but where is that?" Liang Zuying raised his head rarely and asked.
"Alaska!" Guo Jinzhang smiled.
"Alaska?" Everyone was stunned, and then, you looked at me, I looked at you, "…where?"
"You haven't heard of it?" Guo Jinzhang was stunned.
"The United States is so big, I haven't even figured out how many states they have. Why does it mean a place?" Qian Shide snorted dissatisfied.
"That's right! Hehe... But I said Uncle Qian, it doesn't matter if you don't know now. You must know Alaska in the future. If you don't have to, you will suffer." Guo Jinzhang smiled mysteriously.
"What are you pretending? What are you losing money? If we do this, what are you going to suffer? "Li Asheng said unhappily.
"Because that is a treasure land!" Guo Jinzhang took a breath, "Do you know why my original plan was to take everyone to Canada?"
"What does it mean? You have other plans, don't you think of buying land in Canada?" Hou Nan said in surprise.
"I thought of buying land in Canada. But I wanted to go to Alaska even more. The reason I went to Canada was mainly because Canada is closer to Alaska." Guo Jinzhang said.
"Isn't Alaska in the United States? Why are you closer to Canada again?" Jian Wang grabbed his hair, feeling a little unresolved.
"Are you stupid? Since that's the case, Alaska must be on the side of Canada!" Liu Tongfu glanced at the kid with contempt.
"I really let you talk." Guo Jinzhang looked out the window again, but there was still no movement. "Alaska is not actually connected to the United States, but to Canada."
"Island?" Zhao Dachang asked.
"No!" Guo Jinzhang shook his head, "Alaska is in the northwest corner of Canada, across the strait, facing Russia, which is what we used to call the Russians."
"Northwest? Canada is already in the north of the United States. I heard that it is also the boss. Its northwest corner... isn't it colder than Mount Nevada, right?" Qian Shide frowned.
"It's probably about the same. It should be thousands of miles north of here, and the winter time is naturally longer, and it should be half a year." Guo Jinzhang replied.
"What did you say?" Li Asheng jumped up suddenly, with a hideous face: "Are you crazy? It's winter for half a year? Do you still know where our hometown is? Staying here is hard enough, and you are still heading north... I think everyone's life is not happy enough, right?"
"There's gold there!"
“…!!?”
"I still remember the previous year, did there be a murder in the red skirt?" Guo Jinzhang asked everyone again while everyone was not able to react.
"Red skirt?" Everyone was stunned again. The red skirt was not a bar or a hotel, but a famous brothel in Denver City. It is also one of the places where everyone usually takes the most business... washing clothes.
"Two years ago, I went there to deliver goods. I saw a drunkard in the stable behind me. The drunkard was vaguely lying on the ground and muttering to himself, saying that he had discovered a gold mine in Alaska. It seemed that it was around a river with a large reserve. When the land was dug, it was gold nuggets. He was about to become the richest person in the United States... He also took out a few pieces of gold from his pocket, all of whom were big fists... I was on the side at that time, looking at it, thinking that he was very excited.
I stole a piece or two while the guy was drunk. Unfortunately, someone came at that time, so I had no choice but to avoid it. But unexpectedly, the next day, I heard that a murder occurred in the red skirt, and an outside cowboy died. The specific reason has not been found yet, and the murderer has never been seen. I think it is very likely that the guy took out the gold after getting drunk, and was seen, and he was thinking of killing and robbing people."
"Are you serious?" It's gold? Gold! This word... When everyone was riding across the ocean, it seemed that it was because the destination was Kingsoft?... The eyes of several people around were a little hot. Chinese workers all came ashore from the western United States, who didn't know the "gold rush"? Why was San Francisco called "Gold rush"? Isn't it because of gold? And it's not just San Francisco that had gold rush in the United States, or California. There were many areas in the United States where gold rush occurred. Even Denver, where they are now, was once a place where people rushed to make gold. But what is hard to say is that they came here with a dream of nuggets, but they didn't find any gold at all. Instead, they even lived an extremely difficult life, and now they may not even be able to save their lives. But at this moment, Guo Jinzhang told them: There is gold...
"It's this time, why am I lying to everyone?" Guo Jinzhang smiled bitterly, "I am also greedy. I always think that I will go to find gold by myself after saving enough travel expenses. If I had walked two days earlier, I wouldn't be as good as today."
"Then why did you say it again today?" Li Asheng was a little moved, and at the same time he looked at him with some distrust.
"Because there is danger." Guo Jinzhang looked out again, sighed, and said, "Although I just mentioned the plan, I must say that this is dangerous and it is very dangerous. Moreover, I am still the culprit of this matter. Those white people will definitely pay attention to me... If, I mean, if I am arrested, then it will definitely be a dead end. I don't want this secret to accompany me. That's too cheap for those Americans. After all, Alaska is their territory. Even if they can't find it today, they will sooner or later find that there is a big gold mine there. Instead of doing this, it's better to tell everyone. In this way, as long as one of us can escape, we can take this news out and bring it to our workers and our compatriots. Even if it's brought to foreigners, as long as they are not swallowed by Americans, it's victory."
"Is there really gold there?" Guo Jinzhang's psychology is very consistent with everyone's thoughts. If I can't get it, you can't even imagine it, especially if you are still my enemy... This is very consistent. However, at this time, a gold mine suddenly appeared waiting for everyone to dig... This seems very unreal.
"Not only there are. There are many," Guo Jinzhang Zheng pointed, "I later asked, the guy who died in a red skirt once spoke out and said he wanted to go to the east to buy mining equipment! If the mining equipment is just a little bit, would he have to spend so much effort? If you stay there for an extra year and a half, just dig it out? Do you think so?"
"That's right..." Li Asheng nodded, took a deep breath, and glanced at Guo Jinzhang: "There is really a gold mine? Forget it, I believe you this time, I hope you didn't lie to me!"
"If I deceive everyone, I will not die well." Guo Jinzhang pointed his finger at the sky and swore solemnly.
"I just don't know if Alaska is big?" Liu Tongfu smacked his lips, as if he was tasting the smell of gold.
"No matter whether it is big or not, remember, we have a bright future. As long as today's things can be done, we will no longer be anyone that everyone looks down upon. I want to be the best, and take gold to let those white people serve me in turn!" Qian Shide yelled.
"That's right, I want gold! I want gold!"
"I want gold!"
"Get out and dig gold!"
