The next day Ashley ran to John's study early in the morning, shouting that she was going to work in the storeroom, and John, with the purpose of returning the manor to a clean place, gladly agreed, and took her to the underground storeroom.

"Boss! Morgan's storehouse is underground!"

"Hmm. This underground warehouse can withstand the impact of a medium nuclear bomb directly, so the artwork is safe to keep inside. ”

John took Ashley to a depth of 30 meters underground, and after informing the secret service to open the door, the 30-ton gate slowly opened, and Ashley finally believed John's words that this place could withstand a nuclear attack.

Entering the underground storeroom, John led Ashley to the second door, took the key out of his pocket and handed it to the secret service on the side.

"If you want to enter the storeroom, you must have this key, and I have already told my mother, you should go to her study every day before going to work, and return the key when you open the door. "John certainly wouldn't give the key to Ashley for safekeeping.

The key to this door is a symbol of the mistress of the Morgan family, so not even John and Old Morgan have it, and Ashley can't even think about it.

The agent inserted the key into the keyhole, and the door slowly opened, and the first thing that caught everyone's eyes was a pile of neatly stacked gold bars, and such a close-up scene directly made Ashley look stupid.

"This ...... How much gold is there?" Ashley walked over to the pile of gold, reaching out and wiping one of the bars. She's grown so big, she's never seen so much gold.

"There are a total of 250 piles of gold here, a pile of gold has a total of 2,000 gold bars, a gold bar is 1 kilogram, count it slowly!" John didn't dare to be interested in these golds, and after seeing them more times, he didn't think there was anything rare, and after speaking, he walked towards the art area.

Ashley followed him, counting on her fingers.

"1 kilogram of gold bar, a pile of 2,000 sticks, that is 2,000 kilograms, that is 2 tons, 250 piles is 500 ...... Tons, 500 tons!" Ashley was surprised by the results.

How much is 500 tons of gold worth? Ashley wanted to do the math, but before she could even start, the scene in the art district made her forget the value of 500 tons of gold.

Entering the Art Zone, Ashley felt like she had entered New York Harbor, with wooden boxes stacked on top of each other like shipping containers, with no end in sight.

The artwork area is the size of five football fields, and it would be strange if she could see the end.

"Are these boxes full of art?" Ashley stared blankly at the dense wooden boxes in front of her, she knew that she was asking a lot of questions, but she couldn't help but ask.

"Well, there are 208763 works of art here, most of them Egyptian and Chinese, and your generation's task is to maintain them. "John didn't let Ashley do the arithmetic this time.

And Ashley wasn't in the mood to do it now, she was completely shocked.

What is the concept of more than 200,000 works of art?

Let's take an analogy: According to Ashley's maintenance of one piece a day, she will maintain more than 20,000 pieces in her life, and it will take her ten lifetimes to maintain the artworks here.

But the truth is that it is impossible to maintain a work of art in a day, maintaining a work of art is a meticulous job, very time-consuming, sometimes you may not be able to maintain a piece of art in a week, so if she can maintain the artwork here in ten lifetimes, it will be the same speed.

"Boss! I'd like to ask for help. ”

"Yes, but not more than 50, these people must all sign contracts like you, so you'd better find someone you can trust, the kind of big mouth, don't introduce people who are unreliable, otherwise it will hurt him." "There are many types of art in the Morgan family, such as paintings, books, porcelain, bronzes, wood, stone carvings, precious metals, .......

Each category of artwork repair and maintenance methods are different, a person in the powerful he can only repair and maintain a category, no one can understand all, repair and maintenance of artwork is a very energy-consuming thing, learn to do old, it takes a person a lifetime to do a good job. For example, Ashley's specialty is oil painting restoration, so it is absolutely impossible for you to ask her to maintain and restore porcelain.

"I also want a professional maintenance center. ”

"Hmm!" John thought for a moment and asked Dinie beside him, "Is there any place in the manor that could be used as a maintenance center?"

"Nope. Dani replied crisply.

"How is it possible! How could so many houses in the manor not be provided. Ashley didn't believe it.

"The main building is used for people, the parliament building is the office space, and the only places left are the library, the theater, the church, the banquet hall, these places are not suitable. "There are many Morgan Manor houses, but each one has its use.

"Then build a new one, and the Morgan family is not short of money anyway. Ashley said and looked back at the pile of yellow gold behind her.

"Do you know how difficult it is to build a detached house on the manor?" Daini was going to give Ash some knowledge: "First of all, the patriarchs and elders must meet and approve it, and then the house must not destroy the overall style of the manor, otherwise it cannot be built, and even if the design is approved and allowed to be built, do you know how long it takes to build a building? It took 20 years for the main building of the manor, 22 years for the parliament building, 35 years for the church, 17 years for the library, The theater took 14 years, so even if it was approved, it would take at least 10 years for the art center to be built. ”

These buildings in Morgan Manor are not the kind of assembly line commercial houses and modern office buildings in the outside world, each one is a finely crafted work of art, the whole house is large from the external style, as small as the internal crystal lamp, a piece of glass, a table, a floor tile are carefully made, as well as beautiful ceiling paintings, all kinds of sculptures, that are made by painting masters and sculpture masters, and these things are the most time-consuming and manpower-consuming.

Ashley listened to Daini's words and cast a pleading look at John, ten years!

John pinched his chin and thought about it, he didn't have a good solution, this was the construction procedure of the manor house, and he couldn't change it.

"Well, let's go to the staff quarters! Daini, you get five houses out of the staff quarters as offices. John thought about it and came up with a compromise.

Morgan Manor is divided into the owner's residential area, staff residential area, farm, cemetery, private cemetery, of which Swan Lake along the lake is the owner's residential area, the main building, the council building, the theater, the library, the church, the banquet hall are here, this is also the core of the whole manor, called the core area, and the core area south of the valley is the cemetery and private cemetery, more than 800 meters to the west is a farm, one kilometer to the north is the staff residential area.

"But the staff housing area is full, and if you take out five houses, there are five families without shelter. And now there are 50 more employees, and there are serious shortages of houses over there. ”

"Then move those people to the main building first. Then people rushed to build 60 houses and move in when the time came. ”

It's easier to build a house in the staff area, it's all a townhouse, so just follow the drawings. And the time is very fast, and it can be built and settled in a year.

"Well, but the patriarch needs to agree to do this. ”

"I'll go for it. ”
