209 Porterage

"Look at you dicks! Although gold and silver belong to personal property, they cannot be divided! ”

At this time, the big beauty Xia Xiaoou stood behind the crowd with her arms crossed and shouted, seeing everyone looking back, she continued:

"First of all, these precious metals must be managed in a unified manner! There is a proposition in this palace here, please listen to me! ”

"Beauty, what do you have to say? I'm waiting for Dick Silk to rely on this gold to give my future little daughter-in-law a head! ”

"Everyone, don't make a fuss, I am here to formally suggest to all shareholders that these gold and silver should be used for our future financial business!"

Xia Xiaoou faced everyone with a serious face at this time.

"In this era, only Western Europe currently has the germ of modern financial industry, and my suggestion is to keep these gold and silver in a centralized manner as our bank capital in the future!"

"The advice of the little gull is worth paying attention to! I second! ”

Li Junming immediately raised his hand in agreement.

Everyone turned their heads to look at him, and threw him one, of course you want to second! Do you dare not second---- disdainful looks.

"Actually, that's right, I also think that this gold and silver should be used for business! As the saying goes, it's hard for people to find money, but it's easy for money to find money......"

Lao Ba also said a few words to echo it.

"If this bank is really completed, it will definitely be a million profits, the problem is that it will be the year of the monkey!"

"Hmm...... Our banks should issue banknotes to ......"

"It seems to be, but isn't it the gold standard?"

"It seems that it should be, this era is all on the gold standard......"

"So, when are we going to get a bank?"

"Banks? Wash and sleep! ”

"It's still early!"

"When did we have a population and a trade route......

"Only when there is industry and there is a country can it be, then the problem of establishing a bank will not be a problem......

"Of course, paper money will be issued, but now is not the time to discuss it......"

"What Sister Xia said seems to make a lot of sense! I also second. ”

"Hehe, we said that the division of gold and silver was a joke, do you still take it seriously?"

"I'm just excited......"

"yes, you should invest in it."

While stroking the gold ingots, the group of young people looked at the gold and silver in front of them and discussed, of course, there were also complaints:

"Are we really ignorant?"

"Who said you really want to divide it? Although we are high school students, we also know what the financial industry means to us! ”

"Yes, it's not taught in the textbooks, but are you still reading less of all kinds of time-traveling novels?"

"That's it, those modern people who have traveled to ancient times, who don't engage in the modern financial industry and pretend to be forced in front of the ancients!"

"It's just ...... What should I do if I can't pull it out when I see it in my eyes? ”

"Otherwise, let's show us for a few days before we can manage it centrally?"

The issue of gold and silver was discussed for a long time, and the final conclusion was, of course, that it would not be distributed to individuals on the spot, and that would be too low, and everyone had no such plan, but later, everyone discussed a very strange way to place these gold and silver.

There are ninety-three tons of silver, and it is no problem to put all of them in the cave, but regarding the placement of gold, Sun Lao put forward the requirements of everyone to keep it in a centralized manner and satisfy the addiction:

Put the 9.3 tons of gold in the middle of the round table in the conference room on the fifth floor, the round table in the large conference room on the fifth floor is empty, there were originally some flower pots and bonsai, and now these gold are neatly placed there......

Obviously, Sun Lao's suggestion is a joke, I just want to talk about it myself, everyone just listened to it as a joke, but I didn't expect it to be unanimously approved by everyone!

However, this plan was immediately rejected by Hou Xianglin several times, he said that at most 930 kilograms would be symbolically put in the center of the round table, and the rest could only be piled up in the four corners of the conference room as gold walls, because the prefabricated cement slab in the middle could not stand the weight!

Well, since the construction experts have said that, let's do it like that! Thus, the topic of material handling for the day ended in this way.

Therefore, the first batch of supplies to be brought down from the ship and sent to the train was this batch of gold and silver.

Early the next morning, the people formed four units according to the division of work agreed upon in the evening.

The ladies of the Living Materials Management Committee, together with Captain Gu, Teacher Zhao and Lao Ba, were responsible for counting the supplies and registering them in the various cabins of the Nicole.

Mr. Sun and the people who helped the kitchen on duty continued to cook in the Red Mansion and were responsible for delivering food to the work site.

Lao Wang and Lao Zhu took the children to the vegetable garden and farm to "do a little light work", because the adults are very busy today, so the children have a day of extracurricular interest practice class.

Of course, the children were happy with the arrangement, after all, going to the farm to see the chicks hatching and learning to ride a horse was more fun than having a lesson in the classroom.

However, Gu Jin and his wife expressed their opposition to Tao Tao's horseback riding, so Lao Zhu assured the worried Gu Jin couple that the pony was very docile and would not be in danger.

At this time, Lao Ba also complained beside him, what kind of horse are you riding? It's better to let Tao Tao follow us to the cabin to count the supplies, and by the way, also cultivate some financial knowledge for Tao Tao.

Then Lao Ba also said, Tao Tao, this kid is very good at mathematics, and he can engage in finance in the future, so that his future career can be regarded as a successor, so you Lao Zhu wants someone to help, you can call my two boys, what can she do to help you with a girl?

As a result, Lao Zhu responded, your two boys are actually not interested in the small animals on the farm at all, it is precisely Taotao who is interested, what should I do?! Moreover, those two boys in your family are now Taotao's followers and left and right protectors, and they follow Taotao wherever she goes, and they look like they are willing to be elated, what should you do?

What's more, horseback riding is not a day of riding, in the afternoon the children have to go to Lao Wang's vegetable garden to pick vegetables, and then go to Sun Lao's kitchen to help, in short, the children's cultural classes should be taken, extracurricular activities should also be there, right?

Lao Zhu also retorted, I think that compared to the classroom, today's activity is good, aren't we happy to see the children full of interest?

The parents were speechless, so they had to give a few more instructions to remind the children to pay attention to safety, and then watched Lao Zhu Lao Wang smile and take the happy children out of the cave gate.

Except for the two groups of people who took turns to help in the kitchen farm and make statistics and make records, the rest of the people were all basic laborers, and they were divided into two parts: one part formed the backbone of the cargo handling - the handling team.

Among them, Li Sanduo led 20 people to operate the boom on the Nicole, carry goods from the cabin to Class A, load them into hanging nets, and then put them on various loading vehicles waiting on the dock.

Song Chen led several other people to drive tractors, bucket loaders, and truck cranes on the docks, tasked with transporting the materials unloaded from the ships to the railroad, and more than two dozen human-powered tricycles to assist in the shipment, which were eventually loaded into the train wagons waiting there.

Cheng Dong and Huang Hai were responsible for driving steam locomotives, and Huang Hai was chosen because his specialty was mine power machinery maintenance, and he was relatively familiar with steam engines and had practical experience, so he was temporarily sent to act as Cheng Dong's deputy.

This kind of Stephenson 0-4-0C water tank light steam locomotive with a dead weight of only 18.5 tons, without an enclosed cab and no coal water truck, was used for short-distance transportation in mining areas in the old world, so it is also very suitable for use on the Red Hole Line.

Now, one of the two steam locomotives has been unsealed, which is the only steam locomotive in the New World, and Cheng and Huang drive the locomotive with great interest, dragging four wagons to and from the cave and the red pier non-stop.

However, the interest of the two men was soon replaced by fatigue and boredom, and the work seemed easier than the others, but in fact, the flying soot alone made them suffer a lot in the open cab, and after two trips, they became black, not to mention the heavy physical work of shoveling coal and firewood into the boiler.
