Chapter 381: Ten Thousand Taels of Gold
Song Wen inadvertently saw Liu Cheng's expression, and immediately became a little annoyed, staring at his eyes and asking in a low voice:
"What do you mean? Are you laughing at me? ”
Liu Cheng hurriedly waved his hand and said:
"No, not ......"
Then he pointed to the gold in the secret room:
"I should call it an open-eyed ...... for money"
In order to prevent Song Wen from continuing to entangle this issue, Liu Cheng had to "blacken himself", saying that he was open to money.
In fact, anyone who sees so much gold will involuntarily smile, especially if the gold is about to belong to them.
However, the main reason why Liu Cheng laughed was because he heard about Song Wen and Zhou Lan.
Although Song Wen is in his thirties, in Liu Cheng's eyes, he is still a young man.
In the case of women, there is really no difference between a man who is eighteen years old and a man who has not lost some important function.
Song Wen had just turned twenty when he came to Cai's mansion, and he was in his early twenties when he met Zhou Lan.
When a man meets a woman like Zhou Lan who is bewitching and coquettish from her bones at this age, I am afraid that a normal function will be the same as Song Wen.
Besides, Liu Cheng just felt a little funny, and he didn't have the slightest contempt and disdain, so naturally there was no need to make Song Wen feel a knot in his heart because of this.
Cai Zhong was so emotional that he didn't close the entrance to the basement when he came out, and once again gave Liu Cheng a big surprise.
The cracking and sinking of the ground where the gold is piled up is probably only possible in the national gold reserves.
It's just that there shouldn't be any bones visible underneath.
Before Liu Cheng entered the basement, he guessed that there might be gold underneath, but he was far from expecting that there would be so much.
When Xu Zhi came down, he was stunned for an instant, and after a long while, he seemed to say to himself:
"This ...... This is a conservative estimate, at least twenty tons, right? ”
Liu Cheng was also in a state of trance, although he had lived for a hundred years in his previous life, he had never seen so much gold.
In fact, in addition to the jewelry on the counter of the gold store, he has only seen a dozen real gold bars, and they are not so big.
Listening to Xu Zhi's words, Liu Cheng was a little vigilant.
No matter how much Cai Zhong can amass money, he shouldn't have so much gold!
He immediately sent someone to the city to find someone to identify, but the old man, who was a little older, took a few gold bars from the secret room and flipped them, and laughed at that time:
"Most of these are gold-coated copper, which is easily distinguishable by weight."
Liu Cheng smiled bitterly and nodded, and asked Xu Zhi to take a few silver dollars for the old man and invite people outside to rest.
He naturally knew that the same volume of gold was three times heavier than brass, but he had never seen such a large gold bar, and he had no concept at all, so how could he compare?
Now with annotations, it's much easier to tell the difference.
Except for the soldiers in charge of the guard, nearly a hundred people tossed for a whole night and half a day, and finally picked out all the gold.
I have to say that Cai Zhong does have a lot of ghost eyes.
He mixed the gold-plated brass and pure gold together, and arranged them in such an irregular manner that even if he wanted to distinguish them, he could only pick them one by one.
In fact, the gold in the basement and the vault were all added together, and they were only more than two tons, almost ten to one ratio.
But this is enough to make Liu Cheng excited.
Two tons, two thousand kilograms, four thousand kilograms, forty thousand taels.
The bald head claimed to have brought 7 million taels of gold to the island that year, but in fact only half of it was real gold, and the remaining half was equivalent to silver and foreign exchange.
40,000 taels, close to one percent of the gold taken away by the bald head!
After a brief moment of excitement, Liu Cheng quickly calmed down.
He couldn't keep all the gold for himself, and he couldn't use it all.
That sounds like a bit of a shame, but it's true.
Of course, if you buy a fleet with aircraft carriers, this gold may not be possible, but where can Liu Cheng buy it? Who can sell it to him?
Not to mention the fleet, he couldn't find a seller for even one plane.
So, the vast majority of that money should go to those who can really make a difference.
As for his separate battalion, only a small part of it and those brass will suffice.
After the liquidation was completed, Liu Cheng immediately made arrangements:
First, a complete blockade of Ningcheng and a strict blockade of news, that old man could not leave Cai Mansion for the time being.
Second, immediately send people to find the first and third companies, and let them rush to Ningcheng immediately and transport the gold back to Chifeng!
Liu Cheng must now race against time while being cautious to get the gold away before the enemy can react.
The Blue Coat Society folded here and there
