Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 93: Changing Prisoners

Subconsciously licking his dry lips, Wufeng felt an indescribable excitement in his heart. He remembered a sentence he had heard when he was traveling in the Central Continent: "Be sure to go to the hospital just because of superficial appearances." Judging the essence of a thing, some things often do not know its true value until you have done it." This sentence seems to be very appropriate to describe my trip to Indiana this time. I just wanted to fish in troubled waters. Unexpectedly, Yidao caught so many big fish, which was far beyond my expectation, and it was really a timely help for my big plan behind.

Trying hard to calm down, he was the first to recover from the shock. After all, he is the coach, and Wufeng's self-control ability is much stronger. "Xiao Tang, besides this batch of gold, what price can other goods be sold for?"

"My lord, the estimated value of the twelve carts of silver is around two million imperial gold coins. The inspectors of our financial department have specially inspected it. The purity of this batch of silver ingots is quite high, much higher than the purity of silver ingots produced in the empire. , so the estimated price is slightly higher, and it can also be used to mint coins; one and a half truckloads of finished gemstones are mainly ruby, emerald and lapis lazuli. The specific price is difficult to estimate due to the lack of professional appraisers, but conservative estimates should At more than five million imperial gold coins, one carload of finished diamonds is estimated to be around five million imperial gold coins, and the other half is gemstones and rough diamonds, which have not yet been carved, so it is impossible to estimate the price, but if the subordinates After carving or finding a suitable buyer, its value is quite considerable; most of the antique jades belong to Indian ethnic handicrafts and artworks, and their value is incalculable. If you meet a suitable buyer, one piece may be sold for 100,000 imperial gold coins. Not necessarily, it is said that, especially in the Western Continent, these antiques are highly sought after by the upper-class nobles of the countries in the Western Continent. According to my personal estimates, the value of these antique jade articles should be at least eight million imperial gold coins." Xiao Tang also tried his best to suppress With my own excitement, I made a detailed introduction and analysis based on the list in my hand, and finally made a final decision, "This batch of materials should be more than 20 million imperial gold coins, and if they are not in a hurry to sell them, they should be worth 2,000. More than four million imperial gold coins. Not including the batch of original blanks."

Another huge shock came head-on. The group of people hadn't woken up from the 50 million worth of gold waves, and they were dazed by this wave of jewelry and antiques, and even forgot that they should publish What kind of opinions are there to celebrate such an earth-shattering happy event, but you look at me, I look at you, and mutter to yourself. I didn't know what I wanted to say, what I was going to say, so I just waited in a daze for the coach's speech.

Taking a deep breath, Wufeng's mind has calmed down a lot at this time, he nodded slightly and said: "Then what are the other cars of sundries?"

"Returning to my lord, those carts of sundries are mainly various maps about the geographical terrain of the Senge Plain, which are relatively detailed and detailed, and the geographical environment of the entire Senge Plain and several nearby areas are relatively accurate. And the objective delineation, the effect is quite good. There are also some relevant household registration materials and historical materials. The value of these things cannot be measured by money. I have instructed our surveying and mapping department to compare and correct the map we originally obtained. We also make a new copy of their household registration and population information, and the original copy needs to be returned to their current government." Xiao Tang replied with a smile, obviously the gains in this regard also made him very comfortable. These things don't seem to be very useful right now, but once you need to use them, maybe you may not be able to exchange them for gold. He himself has a deep understanding of the usefulness of these things, so when he arranged for the people from the Administrative Office to accompany the Western Expeditionary Army, he specifically confessed to the relevant personnel. Everything else can be omitted, but these things must be brought back.

Wu Feng and Ling Tian's eyes flashed a bright light almost at the same time, and Wu Feng sighed secretly in his heart, Xiao Tang is worthy of being Xiao Tang, and he has no ambiguity in entrusting the government work to him. When his own attention was focused on how to obtain wealth, he had already noticed those things that seemed insignificant but could play an extremely important role in the future, such as maps and ancient books. How many people, how much time and how much energy are needed to draw up a clear school can form a systematic booklet. Once you lose the opportunity, I am afraid that you will want to get it back from the Punjabi in the future. Not only will you have to pay a considerable price, even if you succeed, it may not be complete. That's right, on this point, Xiao Tang's performance has indeed shown his foresight, and even Ling Tianfang has to admire this point.

It's just that at this moment, it's hard for Wufeng to say anything more on this point. His admiring eyes are enough to represent everything, and he nodded slightly: "Very good, well done. According to Master Xiao, we The value of the wealth obtained during the Western Expedition should be around 70 million imperial gold coins? I don’t know how long it will take for such a large amount of wealth to turn into funds that we can use in practice? Of course, the premise is that it is best not to let The central government of the empire knows too much inside information, so that those admonishers will not have to look for trouble and poke our spine."

"It depends on the opinion of adults. Gold and silver are more convenient to deal with. If you want to be quick and convenient, you can exchange them through several big banks and silver houses. However, from the perspective of confidentiality, it is not appropriate to exchange too much at once. It can only be realized in batches; if you want to benefit from it, the subordinates suggest that you should build your own mint workshop, secretly recruit craftsmen, and smelt and cast it yourself. This will not only increase the value, but also lay the foundation for us to have similar needs in the future, just like this One industry, but the time has to be delayed for some days. The subordinates agree with this method. If there are no major changes, this method is safe and conducive to confidentiality. "

Xiao Tang has also realized that this meeting is not just to report the harvest of the Western Expedition to Indian De'an. Judging from the participants, the military personnel accounted for the vast majority, and only a few government officials Besides himself and Wang Liao, Rao is the director of combat readiness, and Jin Ning is the director of intelligence, both of which have nothing to do with military affairs. Although Zhou Tinggui and Fielding are city guards and belong to the government system, they are both Bearing the heavy responsibility of defending the northwestern and northern lines, attending the meeting obviously has a military purpose. Although Xiao Tang himself is extremely reluctant to think about that, the reality has made him realize that if he wants to get rid of Jiedushi, the adults do not have much fighting spirit in their hearts. Maybe, it's just that the words still involuntarily reveal the meaning of dissuasion.

Why didn't Wufeng understand the meaning of the words of the director of administration, but he pretended not to understand, and continued to ask: "Then how are other things realized?"

Sighing inwardly, Xiao Tang knew that his persuasion could not change his boss's decision, so he had to cheer up and said, "Other methods of cashing in such gems, diamonds, jewelry and jade articles are more troublesome, due to the market's acceptance within a certain period of time. The ability has a certain limit, and we have such a large quantity, once it is released to the market, the price will be greatly fluctuated, which is not very beneficial to us. The subordinates suggest that we can go to the Western Continent, the Empire and Milan through various channels Kingdom and other places to sell, or invite some famous buyers and jewelry dealers from all over the mainland to come to Qingyang to see the goods, if they can be sold at a good price, they will be sold, if not, they will be temporarily stored, waiting for the opportunity, anyway, we are not in a hurry to sell now.”

"Well, this is a good way. These things will be handled by the Finance Department. Now many aspects need funds. I think the disposal method of gold and silver can be realized through the exchange of money and silver buildings. We have to let those The guy has taken advantage of it, and the rest will follow what Xiao Tang said, and we will forge it ourselves!" Wufeng's words are unquestionable and resolute. All the generals and officials in the hall gradually woke up from the huge shock wave of wealth just now, and began to ponder the meaning of the coach's words, and adopted a compromise method for Xiao Tang's suggestion, which showed that the coach had already come to a conclusion in his heart, that is, he urgently needed to use The place where the money is and the things that urgently need to be solved with money.

"Everyone, now, Mr. Wang Liao, please introduce the results of our negotiations with the Kamanians on the exchange of captives in the early stage~IndoMTL.com~ Ling Tian put his words in a concise and concise manner, drawing everyone's attention back with one sentence.

"Appointed by Master Li, Wang Liao went to Kaman as an envoy. After several rounds of negotiations and reported to Master Li for approval, he has reached a preliminary agreement with the Kaman people." Wang Liao looked solemn and solemn: "Our side was captured by the Kamans in the First Battle of Jiayuguan over 38,000 people, and our side captured over 23,000 enemy soldiers in the Battle of Terok. According to the agreement reached between us, the soldiers of both sides The exchange is carried out at a ratio of one to one, and the remaining 15,000 people on our side will be redeemed at the price of 150 gold coins per person, and a total of 2.25 million imperial gold coins will be paid. The exchange location is located at Outside Jiayuguan, the exchange takes 15 days, 2,000 people per day for the first 10 days, and 1,800 people per day for the next five days. It was discussed in advance that imperial gold coins should be used as the exchange currency. After urgent negotiations later, the other party also agreed to our proposal The ransom will be paid in kind of gold directly. The exchange time is agreed to start from September 10.”

"Well, Wang Liao, how are our people doing there?" Wufeng asked carefully with a satisfied look on his face, "Have you been treated unfairly? How is your health?"

"My lord, to be honest, it's not very good. For such a long time, the Kamans have been using them as coolies, and we have made serious protests many times, but the other party has turned a deaf ear until we After they captured their soldiers in the Terokk War, they also took this into consideration and corrected this practice.” Wang Liao replied with a wry smile, “Your subordinates have led the military medical officers to carefully inspect our military equipment before signing the agreement. Soldiers, after this period of training, the situation has improved a lot, but there are still a small number of soldiers in poor health, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for them to undertake military service."
