Chapter 455 [Pirate Treasure Harvest]
There is an old saying in Huaxia that is good! If you don't die, you won't die, and Captain Spencer is really bold. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe gift that the President of Spain gave to the King of Spain dared to rob, wasn't this a slap in the face to the Spanish Armada that dominated the world at that time.
The two sides have formed a situation of endless death, and it is no wonder that Captain Spencer would rather go to the gallows and be hanged than say where the treasure was hidden. It is better to die left and right or leave the location of the treasure to your descendants, and you can't say when you find the treasure and your descendants may get rich and become a master, so as not to live as a pirate who licks blood from the knife's edge.
In addition, what made Yang Yong very emotional was that the Spanish Empire opened the Age of Discovery. A few hundred years ago, it could be said that it was invincible to sweep the whole world, but it was a pity that the Spanish Empire, which discovered the New World, plundered back the golden treasures. Used in the extravagant life of the aristocracy, but not in the country's military power, the Spanish Armada, which was once dominant, was finally formed by a handful of pirates because of the old ships and backward weapons, and the British Imperial fleet was annihilated in one fell swoop.
The good situation was reversed all at once, from the world hegemon to the second-rate country in Europe. It seems that a life of extravagance and corruption can turn the maritime hegemon who has dominated for hundreds of years into an addict who discovers the invincible power of the New World. It is sad and lamentable, to lose all the wealth accumulated by the entire empire over hundreds of years.
It's a pity! This treasure map has fallen into Yang Yong's hands for hundreds of years, and Yang Yong still has a supernatural power. The clairvoyant eye function can accurately dig out these treasures, which is why the fisherman has made a profit and the Yang family has been cheapened. After figuring out the past and present lives of these twelve pure gold cannons, Yang Yong began to organize people to count the gold coins that those pirates had looted.
There are all kinds of gold coins, and the main and most numerous gold coins are Spanish gold coins, and there are Portuguese gold coins. What Yang Yong didn't expect the most was that he actually found the official silver of the late Ming Dynasty in the treasure buried by the pirates. It's just that the amount of these official silver is too small, only ten ingots, all of which are 50 taels of large silver ingots.
Among them, the number of Spanish gold coins has reached more than 16,000 gold coins, and the total number of gold coins from other countries should reach 50,000. These 50,000 gold coins are also a large amount of wealth, you must know that Spanish gold coins, Portuguese gold coins, have been a collection category since ancient times. And the price of each piece of gold is expensive, and these 50,000 gold coins alone can open a gold coin museum of no small scale.
In this way, the profit is much more cost-effective than selling these gold coins, after all, one is a hammer deal and can never be returned. One is to use these gold coins to open a museum and sell tickets to make money, even after 100 years, the museum's collection of gold coins still belongs to the Yang family's private property. is a chicken that can lay golden eggs, and Yang Yong is reluctant to sell these gold coins.
Although Yang Yong is not a financial expert, he also knows that the market is saturated. Now that a Spanish gold coin is worth $1,000, Yang Yong sells a lot of money on the market, and the advantage of being scarce is shattered, and the price can fall from $1,000, to $800, and to $50.
At that time, it would definitely be Yang Yong who would suffer, so Yang Yong decided to have a total of more than 50,000 gold coins, and all the staff of the Yang family did not add up to more than three hundred. Take out a fraction of more than 50,000 gold coins, that is, more than 1,500 gold coins, as a benefit to the employees of your family. The number of gold coins that each employee can get is about five, and if you calculate the market price of these gold coins. Yang Yong went to sea once to find a pirate treasure, and the amount of bonuses given to each employee at one time exceeded about 15,000 US dollars in gold coins alone, which is really a generous boss.
After sorting out the gold coins and revealing the news that they planned to use the gold coins to distribute benefits, all the employees began to cheer loudly and hug each other. This is a windfall, shouting loudly Long live the boss, the enthusiasm for work has increased unprecedentedly, and after the coins are sorted out, the largest number of scattered pieces is the box of gold, silver and jewelry.
The amount of gold, silver and jewelry is too large, large and small. Most of the part is some household utensils and gold and silver jewelry, and of course most of it is gold and silver. There are also many inlaid in pure gold, all kinds of precious stones and pearls, which are real gold and silver jewelry, worthy of the name gold and silver jewelry.
Any normal person should understand that a pirate rampant in the Caribbean Sea, robbing to survive, killing people and setting fires. Then the owners of these jewelry and jewelry, many of them died under the butcher's knife of these pirates, and these gold and silver jewelry always give people the feeling of cold. Even if it is uncomfortable, it is necessary to sort out the miscellaneous gold and silver jewelry, and then register it to be able to come up with a plan for dealing with it.
Yang Yong is surrounded by the backbone of the work, and the work content of sorting things has basically formed an instinct. So dozens of people started to sort out the gold, silver and jewelry very quickly, and all the things were sorted according to the type. For example, the life category includes tableware made of pure gold, table knives and forks, plates and pure gold candlesticks.
The sorting of jewelry includes all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, necklaces, earrings, rings, headdresses, battle weapons, and sorting, including all kinds of swords encrusted with precious stones. There was also a very new weapon of the time, that is, the musket, which was made of precious stones and solid gold, and these muskets were not rifled and belonged to the most primitive varieties of thermal weapons. The role of decoration is mostly used in actual combat.
In addition to these, there were also some jewelry boxes, household utensils, and Yang Yong even saw gold teeth and glasses. One can imagine what kind of miserable state the owner of these gold teeth made of pure gold was at that time, and he must have pulled out the gold teeth after death, and it feels too cruel to think about it. These pirates are really cold-blooded, really greedy for money, and they don't even let go of the golden teeth of the dead, no wonder they suffered such a catastrophe, and none of the crew members survived, which is the real retribution.
The number of gold, silver and jewels is so large that none of them are very large, and the time it takes to put them together is the largest classification of pirate treasures. It took more than three hours to sort and register, and one of the most abundant categories of gold and silver jewelry was gemstone rings.
After all, wearing a gemstone ring is a custom that has been passed down in ancient Europe from ancient times to the present, so that it can be seen whether it is a king or a commoner. Nobles and knights and men carried precious stone rings or rings made of pure gold, which were engraved with the symbols of their respective family coats.
Therefore, there are many types of rings, and the number of men and women has reached more than 3,000, and then there are all kinds of gold jewelry worn by women. Of course, most of these jewels are crudely made and look like things worn by commoners, and well-made gold jewelry is in the minority.
The items that belonged to the noble lady class were worn, and then there was life, including a large number of tableware, and all the gold jewelry added together to more than 60,000 pieces. These 60,000 pieces of gold jewelry are not a small amount, which can fully support a jewelry exhibition museum, and also a chicken that lays golden eggs.
