The next day, Long Hao and his entourage left the Alaska Peninsula, not only burping from last night's all-bear feast, but also harvesting what he wanted!

Alaska's 'mineral development rights', for a total of 99 years, were sold to the yet-to-be-established 'Schmidt Mining Company' for US$3.5 million. In addition, Schmidt Mining Company will legally have 5,000 gun escorts.

, and can approve 1,500 immigrants to move to Alaska every year and have quasi-U.S. citizenship. (Since Alaska has not yet become a state, citizens here do not have the right to vote!)

In addition to the transfer of US$3.5 million, Long Hao also paid a check of US$300,000 to Todd in private.

The Dream Discovery left the Alaska Peninsula and arrived at Skagway on the edge of the Gulf of Alaska. Long Hao and others passed through the small town of Skagway and entered Canada. They found a Canadian government agency and registered Schmidt Mining Company.

After that, he also transferred 10% of the shares of Longyi Gold Mine to Qiao Jin.

Among Schmidt Mining Company, Schmidt accounts for 10%, Melissa accounts for 5%, and Long Hao accounts for 85%. Of course, there is no name Long Hao in the legal person column!

After finishing these things, Qiao Jin happily took the 10% equity contract, called a few carriages, and left by land in Canada. Long Hao was not polite, returned to the Dream, and set sail for Guangming Village.

On New Year's Eve in 1891, the Xunmeng finally returned to Guangming Harbor with what Long Hao wanted.

Long Hao looked at the U.S. dollar checks and stocks on the table, as well as a mineral development rights document issued by the U.S. government, and couldn't help laughing loudly.

He couldn't help but be dissatisfied. This time, with the help of his own efforts, he not only got a piece of cake as big as Alaska from the US government, but also gained US$2 million and US$2.5 million in Rockefeller stock. When Qiao Jin returned to Europe,

It will also bring him a 5-year tax-free freight purchasing company!

What you pay is only 10% of the future income of Longyi Gold Mine!

What a bargain! What a bargain!!

Long Hao pulled Yuan'er into his arms, aimed at her crystal clear face, and kissed her hard: "Yuan'er, on the last day of 1890, just obey me, young master! Hehehehe!

"

Yuan'er was shocked and tried his best to break away with a red face: "No, it won't work. The young master has not yet perfected his boy skills..."

Of course Long Hao was joking to tease Yuan'er. After he got off the boat, he informed Long Bo to prepare a grand New Year's Eve dinner in Guangming Village!

Guangming Village now has a very rich material reserve, with a long row of warehouses built alone. I heard that in several villages with 10,000 households built later, there are also some warehouses that are actually dug into the mountain into caves and hidden in the virgin forest!

When the two first-class freighters Pioneer and Pioneer arrived, Long Bo took turns sailing back and forth between Guangming Port and the port cities outside. One was to purchase food, coal and other daily necessities, and the other was to use

Training the new recruits of the First Fleet!

It can be said that the new recruits of the First Fleet now go to sea at a rate far better than that of the Beiyang Navy on the other side of the ocean!!

So far, the Pioneer has made one return trip, and the Pioneer has just been out for two days. It is said that its destination is the prosperous West Coast of the United States, including San Francisco. The ship is loaded with many letters and envelopes from fishermen!

The envelopes were mostly filled with U.S. dollars, delivered to their relatives in need who didn’t want to come with them!

Originally, according to the wishes of the fishermen, they were not willing to take the money with them, but Long Xiaohu came up with a good idea and promised that the First Fleet would bring back receipts from their relatives after sending the money. If not, the Longlin Party would double the compensation for the lost money! In this way, these fishermen

Then he happily took out the salary he had just received, stuffed it into an envelope, sealed it, put it on the Pioneer, and took it to his relatives.

It has to be said that Long Xiaohu's move greatly deepened the fishermen's good impression of the Longlin Party.

After Long Hao heard about it, he couldn't help but praise: Uncle Tiger seems to be expecting a son, so he has shown great kindness! Haha, this is good, with these fishermen's handwritten (mostly ghostwritten, of course) letters introducing the benefits of Alaska,

I believe it will definitely attract a large number of Chinese compatriots!

That night, Guangming Village was brightly lit, and purchased gas lamps were hung all over the streets. People in Guangming Village sang and danced, waiting for the ringing of the New Year's bell in 1891.

The Chinese originally did not like to celebrate the Western New Year, but they just follow the local customs and are strangers in other countries. Since they have even cut off their braids, why do they care about the Eastern New Year or the Western New Year? As long as there is wine and meat, it is a good year!

Long Hao stood on the newly built square platform, raised a bowl of water and wine, and shouted: "My fellow compatriots, 1890 is about to pass. In this year, many major events have happened! I, Long Hao, came from a broken family.

The fugitives who have taken root in Alaska today cannot do without everyone's help, trust and hard work... This year, we defeated the evil Russian traffickers... This year, we established the Dragon Scale Party to revitalize China

...This year, we discovered the Dragon Wing Gold Mine...This year, we have more and more ships, and the Dragon Scale Army that protects us has gradually grown...This year is a brilliant year! I believe it.

I, Long Hao, will change Alaska in the next year and turn it into a big granary in the south of the Yangtze River that belongs to our Guangming Village, Dream Village and other villages, and to all our compatriots!"

After finishing speaking, Long Hao himself felt excited. Although he had been a man for two lifetimes, facing so many people under the stage who had cut off their pigtails and looked at his compatriots with expectation, reverence and fanaticism, he temporarily forgot about the severe cold in front of him.

With enthusiasm, he raised the bowl and drank the wine: "Those who trust me, support me, and follow me, please drink this bowl of wine! Do it..."

"Fuck...roar...gugu..."

Countless hands raised the wine bowl, their eye sockets swelled, veins appeared on their foreheads, and they roared down the wine with a high degree of alcohol content!

Yes, as Mr. Long said, a year ago we were still living in limbo. At the beginning of this year, we were deceived by Russians and boarded a piggy black ship. Even a good death has become a luxury... But now

?In just less than a year, we not only have enough food and clothing, a big house to live in, hunting for prey, but also green dollars! Who would give up on days like this? On days like this, everyone will look forward to more tomorrow

good!

Follow the Dragon Scale Party closely, follow Master Long closely! Follow him, yes, yes!

There was a "crackling" sound, and countless porcelain bowls fell to the ground. No matter men, women, old or young, they all drank up the spicy water and wine, and threw the past suffering, past sorrow, and past darkness on the ground.

There is no return, the bowl is broken into pieces, stepped on under the soles of the feet, buried deep in the soil, never to come back again!

The improvised bronze bell rang on time at 12 midnight, and countless drunk people in the square linked arms, sang and danced, and shouted cheerfully to the sky: "Hello New Year! Alaska, this is the land of the Chinese! Alaska

, this is the cradle of the rise of the Chinese nation!”
