Chapter 978: Gold and Jewels
The automation of the destroyer is very high, and the crew only needs sixty, for the sake of gold, Xu Ziling has already asked the Jiangnan Factory to borrow twice as many personnel in the name of long-distance rotation, and Ma Jiang informed the ship that in less than ten minutes, a team of fifty people with many tools came.
Once again, secrecy was emphasized, and the group quickly got busy, waiting until a few tents were set up and the hole was cleaned up.
"We're done, okay, let's go in and have a look."
Liu Long and Li Cheng, who had been anxious for a long time, took the lead in entering the cave, and the bones inside had been cleaned to both sides, as long as they didn't look at it anymore, there was no previous shock, and they walked more than two hundred meters, and another iron gate blocked the front.
There was no need for Li Cheng to do it himself, after several soldiers who had been waiting for him gave an order, they smashed the lock in a few clicks, and then worked together to push the door open.
"There's a generator here, let's see if it works." Behind the iron gate, there was another cave, and Xu Ziling pointed to the right side of the door with a flashlight and said to a soldier.
The soldier ran over, and after a while, he said in a loud voice: "There is still spare oil, it should be able to be used." As he spoke, he heard a clanging sound, and the generator roared, and then several lights on the roof of the cave flickered and flickered a few times before they lit up.
âŚâŚ
"It's all gold?" In the cave, there were boxes piled up, and there were a few scattered boxes next to them, and a few gold bars fell to the ground, Li Cheng carried a gold bar in both hands, and said with a smile.
Inch of gold, a gold bar is more than 20 centimeters long, seven or eight centimeters wide, five centimeters high, nearly 20 pounds, it really has some weight in his hand, Xu Ziling took it with one hand, only felt that his hand was sinking, and his heart was excited in addition to excitement.
In terms of value, it was found that the diamond mine was more valuable than here, but at that time, there was definitely no excitement at this time, after all, the diamond was buried in the soil, and there was no pile of gold to make it look intuitive.
Yang Ruolan and a few girls are not like a few men, they have a great interest in gold, what they have always remembered in their hearts is those jewels, seeing Xu Ziling and a few people holding gold fascinated, they hurriedly woke up a few people, saying that they would go to find jewelry first.
"Jewelry, good ...... Good ......"
A few people woke up from a big dream, put down the gold in their hands, then picked up the tablet and began to search for a pile of jewels in the box.
The lion had already marked, and according to the marking, the group quickly found hundreds of boxes of the same size stacked on the other side.
"Pry open."
Li Cheng took matters into his own hands and pried open one of the boxes in three or two clicks.
"Ah......h
The box is full of boxes of various colored gemstones that have been polished, jadeite, red sapphires, under the illumination of the light, emitting a colorful halo, which makes people intoxicated.
"Damn, it's worth a lot." Liu Long grabbed a handful of gems that were the smallest and the thickness of his thumb and put them in front of his eyes, and shouted loudly.
Several women glanced at him, and each picked up a few of the largest gems, "It's unbearable, can such a beautiful gem be measured by money?" â
âŚâŚ
If it is not measured by money, then what is it measured? Liu Long thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything in his mouth, because he knew that when a group of women were together, it was absolutely terrifying, especially there were a few people with particularly high force value, and once they annoyed a few of them, it would be unlucky.
It's not about themselves, it's not about themselves, of course Xu Ziling and they won't interject, and everyone laughed secretly, as if they didn't see Liu Long's embarrassing appearance.
"Open them all and see." After reading one box, several women still did not stop, and urged to open the other box as well.
Xu Ziling and the others also wanted to see what was there, so they immediately started together, moved down twenty of the boxes and put them on the ground, and then opened them one by one.
Gemstones, jewelry, pictures with a distinctly Southeast Asian style, and all kinds of antiques are suddenly dazzling.
"I don't think there are a few antiques from our country." Old man Nie also likes to collect, under his influence, Nie Yunjie also knows a little about this industry, and after reading a few boxes containing antiques, he said disappointedly.
"Collections know no borders." Xu Ziling smiled, "This batch of things was looted by the islanders in Southeast Asia back then, of course, there are more local style things, but I can definitely have things from our country, after all, in that era, there should be a lot of cultural relics flowing from China to Southeast Asia." â
"That's just as well. I'll have to get a few good ones and send them back to my old man, or he'll let him know that we've gotten so many things, and if I don't send a few to his old man, he won't break my legs." â
"Hehe......" Xu Ziling smiled silently.
Old man Nie is quite strict with his juniors, and collecting this business is his only hobby in his later years, if this is the case, he will definitely not break his leg like Nie Yunjie said, but there will definitely be a scolding and saying that he has no filial piety.
After watching for a while, several people recovered from their excitement, and several women were there discussing which gem was the most beautiful, and several people stood together.
"Start moving now, or what?" Yang Kaiming said.
Xu Ziling looked at the large pile of boxes and counted the people they could use, "Let's start moving now, except for the person in charge of guarding, all the other personnel are here, otherwise, it won't be possible in two days." â
"And what about them?" Nie Yunjie looked at Ma Jiang and the others who offered to be in charge of guarding outside.
No matter how much gold will be handed over to the treasury in the end, but now it is a private task, and then they will be given a collective first-class merit to Ma Jiang, which they are sure of, but in fact, how much gold there is, these people must know, and when the time comes, how much Red Star will get, they will be clear.
Red Star is not worried about the pressure from above, but he doesn't want the matter to be spread, although he can let Tang Jiannian keep it secret, but this kind of thing is definitely not something that can be completely stopped by a single order.
As soon as Nie Yunjie said this, the others immediately knew what he meant.
"It seems that the seconded people will get a stipend from the Jiangnan factory?" Liu Long suddenly said, "Take out a ton and set up a special welfare fund, or divide it equally among the people who go on this mission." â
Soldiers are also human beings and have to live, their welfare is better than ordinary people, but not much better, and they deserve more than what they have paid for the country.
It is indeed a feasible way to allocate a small part of the benefits.
At the very least, it can calm down the complaints of private tasks and possibly zĂ i.
A ton of gold is worth 300 million, but they don't care, public and private use, and it is also appropriate to pay a little.
"All as welfare, it will definitely have a bad impact, I think part of it will be used as welfare, and part of it will be handled by the South China Sea Fleet." Nie Yunjie thought for a while and said.
Xu Ziling, Yang Kaiming, and Li Cheng were originally soldiers, and the nature of soldiers made them not worry about the secrecy of these people, nor did they worry about what complaints these people would have, but since Liu Long and Nie Yunjie mentioned this, and it was only good for the people of the South China Sea Fleet, they naturally had no objections, and nodded, even if it was clear.
"Old horse." As soon as he said hello, Ma Jiang at the door immediately ran in.
"What's the matter?" His eyes were red, and he was obviously shocked by the scene in front of him.
Xu Ziling picked up a gold bar from the ground, stuffed it in his hand, and pointed to the boxes piled up into a hill, "I won't hide it from you, this mission is only a private mission so far." This is your personal one, and in these boxes, there is a ton of all the people present today, and I will discuss the specific details with the fleet, so you don't have to worry about any problems. â
Ma Jiang didn't expect that this was just the private action of the Red Star people, and he also thought about whether to report it to the above, but thinking that with the ability of the Red Star, if he really wanted to do something, he would not object to it, he just offended people by doing so, so he gave up that thought.
Now that he suddenly saw Xu Ziling coming out like this, he immediately thought that this was blocking their mouths, and the gold bar in his hand suddenly became a hot potato, so that he didn't know what to do.
Seeing him like this, Xu Ziling understood his concerns, and without waiting for him to say anything, he said: "Don't think about it, I just said that it is still a private mission now, and when you go back, the fleet will definitely give you a detailed briefing, and will definitely talk to you, this ton is not all for you, part of it is for the fleet, and the rest is for everyone's welfare, so you should understand?" â
Ma Jiang nodded a little dazedly, and immediately thought of something, and handed the gold bar in his hand to Xu Ziling, "Since the fleet has a copy, then my this is not suitable, and besides, my current allowance is not low, it is enough." â
Ma Jiang is very hearty, not dull, but also has the reality that most soldiers have, seeing his move, Xu Ziling smiled and pushed back with his backhand: "The allowance at your level is not low, but you have a son and daughter, studying abroad, buying a house or something, you have to ask for a lot of money in the future, take it, anyway, there are many things in this way." â
"Yes, Lao Ma, don't be an overseas Chinese, you have helped Jiangnan Factory a lot in the past two years, and our brothers have nothing to say, so thank you for your help, don't worry about it, we will communicate."
Nie Yunjie and the others also persuaded one after another.
Ma Jiang has just arrived at the age of not being confused, and the two children in the family have reached the age of going to college, no matter whether they study abroad or buy a house after graduation, they need a lot of money, he is not the kind of person who is high, and when they saw Xu Ziling, they all said so, so they accepted it.
"Okay, I remember everyone's affection."
"That's right." Xu Ziling smiled, "There is no political commissar for the trial voyage, you still have to go and say it to the brothers below, do the work, and also, if you can, send these things to the ship immediately, so as not to have a long night and a lot of dreams, the whole world is chaotic for a while, get it back as soon as possible, and rest assured." â
