The wooden board holding the gold is actually not big, but the gold is very heavy. Each wooden board is stacked like a hill and requires two strong warriors to lift it up.

To be honest, Zhou Li'an didn't feel any fluctuation in his heart at all.

After obtaining the system, his first target was California gold. He made a lot of knowledge reserves in the early stage, including the location chosen by the Modoc people after they migrated, which was also the location where gold was discovered at Marshall's Mill.

But as the revenue from bison hides increases day by day, the joy of harvesting money continues to decrease.

Because the initial accumulation period of funds has passed and the road to founding the country is on the right track, this batch of gold is already planned, so there are naturally no surprises.

In other words, the entire world in the future will be in equilibrium.

This feeling is like taking a beautiful tile from the floor of your own home and selling it to your next door neighbor, that is, in this world.

I left a hole in my own house and filled the needs of others. Of course, the taste is not good.

Of course, balanced development still requires the support of current resources.

This batch of California gold will be used as start-up capital.

Dispersed the crowd.

When only Snow Girl was left in the house, Zhou Li'an stepped down from the bandit leader's leopard skin throne to check the gold.

This time it is obviously not red copper, it is very heavy after buying it.

There are large pieces of dog-headed gold; there are also "coral-like" gold that have been washed away by the river bed and are riddled with holes. At first glance, it seems to make the scalp of patients with trypophobia go numb.

"Master, these are gold, right?" Xue Nu looked a little uneasy because she didn't see Zhou Li'an's smile.

Only then did Zhou Li'an realize that he was acting too calmly, and raised the corner of his mouth: "Snow Girl, you did a good job."

The snow girl showed a satisfied face, much like a cat that feels comfortable after being groomed by its owner.

Later, electronic scales were brought from the present world for weighing.

The total amount of gold stacked on 8 wooden boards exceeds 1,200 kilograms. After excluding the large pieces of yellow ore that were mistakenly identified, there are still as many as 1,000 kilograms of real gold left.

A full 500 kilograms.

Calculated at the current price of 59 US dollars per gram, the total price is as high as 29.5 million US dollars; of course, there are losses in the smelting and purification of river gold, and the final income is about the same as one month's bison hide income.

The tribesmen did not collect and mine it on a large scale.

Zhou Li'an just asked them to try to see if they could find it. Now they have obtained 500 kilograms in three months, which is considered a satisfactory answer.

If a large amount of manpower is invested in mining in the future, it should be able to produce a stable output of 2-3 tons per month; with the current balance of people's labor force, it may take 6 years to clear the surface of gold.

This is still the result of full investment.

A total of more than 340 tons of gold were mined during the 7-year gold rush. In the second half of the gold rush, individual gold diggers gradually evolved into a hired labor model, using hydraulic mining equipment. They even dug pits and filled the land with manpower. No one was making a lot of money anymore.

Full of splendor.

In fact, during the entire gold mining period, gold diggers did not earn much; instead, the traders who came to do business became fat pigs for the capitalists.

With the influx of population, shortage of materials, and soaring prices in all industries involving food, clothing, housing and transportation.

At that time, the local business community followed a principle——

Question: How can we get lazy workers to mine more gold for us?

Answer: Providing daily necessities to gold diggers at exorbitant prices.

Otherwise, say...

Capitalists are all vampires, they are so good at it.

Of course, Balance will not fall into this dilemma, because the people are not yet civilized, and Zhou Li'an does not intend to open the free trade market prematurely.

Even if the future is open, the person behind it will definitely be himself.

Specific templates are also available.

In 1502, the Portuguese ruled by force and monopolized the spice trade in the East India region.

In 1601, the British established the East India Company; the following year, the Netherlands also established the East India Company; and subsequently France, Denmark, Sweden and other countries followed suit.

In addition to commercial trade, these companies also carried out colonial matters.

Then Equilibrium can also set up the "Old World Multi-national Colonial Company". Yes, I don't even pretend, I have a showdown, trade? What kind of trade? Just play colonization, I rely on robbery.

Now, with balanced gold mining, there is no need to worry.

With the support of the present world, there is no need to worry about food and drink, and all kinds of iron utensils are even cheaper.

But for Zhou Li'an...

If 150 tons of gold can be mined on the surface, it will be enough. There is no need to spend a balanced amount of labor on deep excavation.

Obtaining such a large amount of capital is enough to leapfrog the progressive industrial era. In the future, with machinery, it will not be easy to open a mine. Why waste precious human lives to fill the mine pits?

As for the current 500 kilograms of gold, it is enough to deliver to David Liang.

However, you don't have to take the initiative to speak before he contacts you. The initiative must always be in your own hands.

…

The next day.

Zhou Li'an inspected the barn and began to let the people dry and shell them, trying to eat rice before winter.

When the time comes, I will replenish cornmeal and wheat flour from this world, and there will definitely be no shortage of carbohydrates, and the beef will make me vomit.

The farmland was cultivated to 10,000 acres, and the high-yielding seeds made the tribesmen realize for the first time the abundant harvest of farming, and they became full of enthusiasm.

Zhou Li'an also asked them to plant cabbage and radishes, and the nutritional mix was also available.

When winter comes, boil a pot of water and add beef, cabbage, and radish.

The best ingredients often only require the simplest cooking techniques... Sprinkle a handful of salt, the warm aroma is overflowing, and the balance will make children cry.

The food problem has been solved and housing construction is in good order.

With yesterday’s golden harvest…

Zhou Li'an told Snow Girl, "Organize the tribal women and the relatively strong old people to continue sifting the river sand and collecting gold."

"The number of people does not need to be large, each team has 1,000 people immediately, and a group of people will be replaced every three days."

Snow Girl took the order and arranged the manpower.

Soon after, Zhou Li'an recruited Shan Shan and Ma Jianjun: "The seventeenth Ma clan will breed good war horses for Balance in the Owens Valley. Now there are 4,000 horses."

"The Seventeenth Clan of the Ma family is far away on the other side of the mountain range and cannot enjoy the glory of Balance. They are shouldering an important mission. If you need anything, you can consult with Shanshan for help."

Zhou Li'an did not make direct arrangements, giving them room to think.

After hearing this, the two of them stared at each other.

I envy and hate climbing mountains.

What is the concept of 4,000 horses? The Modoc people have followed our Lord all the way, and they have only been rewarded with 1,000 good horses so far.

However, he now also knows that the task of raising and breeding horses is arduous, and he will be needed to lead them in future battles.

One day after Ma Jianjun arrived at the Hengqing station, he also heard that the migrating tribesmen were talking about the benefits of Hengjing.

Although the development of Owens Valley is not bad now, in terms of balance, there is no comparison at all. What's more important is that it cannot get close to our true God every day.

Ma Jianjun said: "My lord, I beg you to ask the chief of the mountain climbing clan to bring more craftsmen to our seventeen clans. Winter is coming, and we need to build more stables."

There was a language barrier between the two, so Zhou Li'an could only act as a translator.

It’s not that he didn’t arrange work directly, and when he returned from a three-month absence, he didn’t have a comprehensive grasp of the development situation in the two places.

As leaders, these two truly know what they need.

Of course, my lord will not refuse to climb the mountain in front of him, and even if the equilibrium population increases sharply, the tribes will still be harmonious and there will not be much intrigue.

After all, no one dares to disobey the true God.

I long for the day when balance will cover the earth.

Furthermore, before enlightenment, there was a lack of ideas.

But the future is hard to say. At that time, various departments will be divided based on interests and rights, and strict laws, rewards and punishments will be set up.

Nowadays, the Seventeenth Ma Clan is responsible for breeding war horses. Of course, he is very happy to climb the mountain and declares that he will treat all the Seventeenth Ma Clan as brothers and sisters.

"Under balance, we are all citizens."

"Praise my Lord, praise the balance."

Ma Jianjun understood what he was saying when he climbed the mountain and knelt on the ground with him to worship Zhou Li'an.

the next day.

In addition to the 19 seats, 15 Mono craftsmen who have followed the Modoc people's skills are crammed into the Balance Sacred Artifact.

The Mono and Paiute people have a common language, which can help them cultivate more craftsmen.

Overloading the plane is not a problem at all.

The h225 has a dead weight of 5.5 tons and a maximum take-off weight of 11 tons. There is no problem at all for transporting a car suspended from the aircraft, let alone carrying a few more people.
