As soon as Mai Ke told Meng Baxi about the idea of dividing the silver, his old man's indifferent and breezy expression immediately changed greatly!

The old man's small eyes, which had not been opened for a long time, opened as wide as eggs in an instant, grabbed Mai Ke's arm, and said breathlessly, "Where do you have so much silver?"

Mai Ke actually didn't say much, that is, a million catties, just a hole of silver.

But at that time, all the silver was taels, and one catty was equal to sixteen taels, a total of sixteen million taels.

Or to put it easier to understand, it's fifty tons.

In fact, a larger ship was enough to transport this amount of silver, but Mai Ke thought that it would be sent to the entire middle and upper reaches of the Xijiang River, so he simply divided it into ten boats.

Mai Ke didn't take it seriously, Lao Meng was different, his entire boat gang had accumulated all his life, and he had never seen so much cash!

He knew that whatever Mai Ke knew, his foreign son-in-law Peter, must know, but why didn't this kid want to reveal a thing or two to me?

He was not afraid to question him at once, but Peter was not at this time, and as soon as he entered the main channel, he ran into a private room to comfort his wife.

Ruofei especially needs to be taken care of during pregnancy, especially her Zhang Yang's personality needs to be greatly restrained, it is inevitable to be subject to some restrictions, accumulate some depression, and need to vent, Peter is of course the best punching bag.

And this sandbag is a large size, no matter how Meng Ruofei cleans him up, it is not broken and out of shape.

Mai Ke saw Meng Baxi's uncertain appearance and knew that he couldn't hold it in front of the huge amount of silver.

It is no wonder that even the emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty has never seen such a huge amount of silver taels, because the tax revenue of the entire fiscal year is only 20 million!

Even if it is 20 million, it is also harvested and spended. Where will there be accumulation?

If Lao Meng was allowed to keep it, he would definitely want this silver to be more important than his life!

So, Mai Ke determined the new commander of the fortress at this moment.

The original commander of the fortress was the boat gang, and the first dragon was Dingjiang Long, Meng Zhong.

He was calm and loyal, and he was extremely reliable in his conduct and work, so he was entrusted with the important task of commanding the fortress.

After the Kaneda Uprising. The fortress was almost idle, because there were no Qing army sailors to go up the river from Guangdong, and there was no large-scale Qing army from Guangxi to escape from the water.

So he returned to his fleet and left the affairs of the fortress in the hands of his lieutenants.

In fact, Mai Ke's original intention in establishing this fortress was to achieve two purposes, one was to form a military defense line, and the other was to protect the treasure cave.

But there is a purpose, Mai Ke did not sue others. Until now, only his brotherhood and his brothers knew about it.

At the same time, Mai Ke could not help but think about Peter and his wife, and he could not bring his pregnant wife to the front.

The father protects his daughter and the grandfather takes care of his grandson, which is the most reliable arrangement.

So, Mai Ke made up his mind.

The fleet went smoothly, and it didn't take long to arrive at the Black Dragon Pond Fortress.

According to Mai Ke's order. The fleet stopped here for the time being.

The commander of the fortress, Meng Zhong, and the deputy commander, Meng Jie, came out of the ranks. Summoning the remaining adjutant, Mai Ke has something to talk to him about.

This is Peter also coming from his wife, and it is also Mai Ke looking for him.

Michael exchanged views with Peter about his plans.

In fact, Peter is also racking his brains for this matter, but his smart face material is obviously not in this field, and he is so anxious that he scratches his ears and cheeks. I was also at a loss.

Fortunately, he has a big heart, and if he has no choice, he will let it go first, and do what he should do.

Sure enough, Mai Ke's good idea was delivered to the door.

When Peter heard it, it was a brilliant plan!

Absolutely the best of both worlds! No! Perfect! Not yet! Perfect!

He slammed. slammed the boat gang and shouted: "Mai Ke, you really deserve to be the eldest brother! I completely agree! And on behalf of Ruofei, Ruofei and his father, my future good son, thank you together! Thank you, big brother!"

Mai Ke finally smiled, this kid had never called him big brother, although he had already agreed in his heart.

This big brother of his, he really fought hard with his fists!

"What do you thank on my behalf, big brother?

As soon as Peter's words fell, Lao Meng stepped over, he was chatting with the adjutant stationed in the fortress, and suddenly heard Peter mention his name, and couldn't help but be curious, so he ran over to inquire.

Mai Ke smiled, it was good when he came, and he just needed to talk to him.

So, the three of them sat down, and Mai Ke asked Peter to talk to his father-in-law, and by the way, to check whether he Peter was just happy and forgot the main point.

However, apparently Mai Kebai was worried, Peter remembered it well, and especially emphasized that this idea was made up by Mai Ke, and he would thank him if he wanted to.

"Of course, your son-in-law and I are also indispensable, hehe!" Peter changed his words, and hurriedly put gold on his face to please his father-in-law: "I did not hesitate, made a decision immediately, and affirmed Mai Ke's creative thinking at the first time, and resolutely supported him to increase his responsibility for the old father-in-law, who is old and strong, rejuvenated, alive and vigorous, and invincible! Hehe, Dad, are you still satisfied with my son-in-law......'s appearance?

"Stop!"

"Stop!"

Both voices stop at the same time!

What a mess, and the golden gun won't fall!

Lao Meng couldn't help but scold in his heart: "You can't get a golden gun! Your whole family can't get a golden gun!"

Immediately, I felt that this kid's way of slapping sycophants was really ingenious, which caught people off guard, although it sounded weird, but it was really a wonderful word!

I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Halfway through laughing, he suddenly thought of the key point, and hurriedly asked Mai Ke: "Wait! You said that the main task is to defend the treasure cave, is there still any leftover after your ten boats of silver are transported away?"

"Haha! Uncle, you're so funny! The silver that is about to be transported away is not a dime! The mouse pulls the wooden shovel, and the big head is behind!"

Looking at Meng Baxi's face full of disbelief, Mike said, "Let's go!

Because to go to the treasure cave, you must first enter the Black Dragon Pond, and to enter the Black Dragon Pond, you need to enter from a tributary of the Xijiang River, and then go down from the waterfall.

It was this waterfall that almost crushed Mai Ke and others, but relying on God's retribution, Mai Ke and Peter were not only safe and sound, but also discovered this treasure cave.

It is God who makes all things work together. for the good of those who love God.

But this time it's easy to say, because they have Jonah with them!

After some argument, little Jonah won and the hundred boy scouts with him set out.

And in front of them were the three fish, of course, little Jonah, with three men. In addition to Mai Ke, there are also Peter and Meng Baxi.

Peter wanted to revisit the old place, and he said that he had forgotten what he had seen.

Meng Baxi had to go, one was that he didn't believe that there were ninety-nine times more treasures than fifty tons of silver, and the other reason was that he wanted to be the commander of the fortress and the keeper of the treasure cave, so he should always know what he wanted to keep, right?

Everyone went down the river to the waterfall, which was a height of crushing bones, and the little Jonah waited for the fish. But it's a piece of cake!

One by one, they screamed and flew down, and then they entered the water in a large incline, and the merfolk were all unharmed.

The entrance to the cave and the dark river were all left untouched, so little Jonah, under the guidance of Mai Ke, found the entrance to the underwater cave and entered the dark river.

Arrived at the treasure cave area inside. The three of them went ashore, and Mai Ke first dried the clothes of Meng Baxi and his old man. lest he catch a cold.

This character is easy for Mai Ke, you only have to mix the gas element and the fire element, that is, create an oven effect.

Meng Baxi only stayed in it for a minute, that is, he was refreshed, and there was no trace of moisture on his body.

Peter could have done it himself, but he saw the oven as a surprise. Just run in and experience it.

As soon as Mai Ke saw Peter enter the urn, he immediately raised the temperature by 20 degrees!

As soon as Peter entered, he was roasted.

It's so hot!

Even so, his clothes were all roasted to smoke.

However, such a toss. Peter's clothes were also dry.

Then Mai Ke acted as a guide to introduce the treasure hiding situation here to Meng Baxi.

There are a total of twenty-two caves in the cave, arranged in the order of the sexagenary branches.

Among them, the ten caves of the heavenly stem are all silver, and the twelve caves of the earthly branch are all kinds of rare treasures.

Although Mai Ke knew, he still knew a little about the value of these treasures in other caves.

Any one of them is probably priceless.

However, Mai Ke did not open the holes of the earthly branches, but only told him that the contents of the twelve caves were equal to one hole of silver.

Therefore, his main task in the future is to protect these treasures.

After finishing speaking, Mai Ke opened the ten holes of Tiangan in turn.

I saw that the inside was all neatly stacked, and the silver was white and flowered, except for one hole that was still half left, the other nine holes were like this.

Meng Baxi was like smoke, a piece of silver light flickered, completely stunned!

The mouth is open, the mouth is open, the expression is dull, and it does not move!

The whole is a late sign of Alzheimer's!

Mai Ke let Meng Baxi be in a daze there, but he commanded those Jonah Boy Scouts to carry the silver!

Mai Ke closed the eight silver holes, leaving two for a total of 100 tons of silver!

This was Mai Ke's impromptu decision, and he decided to double the total amount of silver he had shipped.

For he considered that since the middle and upper reaches of the river needed silver relief, the two river basins must also need it, and even if they were not needed for a while, they might be needed in the near future.

Mai Ke prepared a hundred large pockets, with bags at both ends that could hold silver, and a sturdy canvas in the middle.

It wasn't until he was almost pretended that there was no silver light shining in front of him that Meng Baxi came back to his senses.

He shouted: "Mai Ke, I'm the commander of this fortress!"

Mai Ke said loudly: "Okay! Very good, appoint Meng Baxi as the commander of the Black Dragon Pond Fortress of the Heavenly Army!"

Meng Baxi was also unambiguous: he saluted Mai Ke and said, "Obey the order! I will definitely protect this fortress as solid as a golden stone!"

After that, he took a ton of silver with each fish and returned to the voyage.

Mai Ke is also a little curious, these big fish are easy when they come down, but difficult when they go up, right?

Besides, there's a ton of silver to gain weight!.
