"Your Majesty, the Egyptian commander reported that the Seventh Army excavated a large amount of gold and silver in the tombs of the Valley of the Kings in Luxor, Egypt, and the total amount was equivalent to more than 100 million dragon yuan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Yang Zhong said.

Obviously, Fan Hong dug Tutankhamun's grave, originally this treasure had been hidden underground for a long time in history, but that was because the European explorers were not military in nature, this time they were replaced by the elite of the Ming army, and there were not so many messy ideas, so they dug up the ground according to the map, but it was easier to find, plus the 100 million dragon dollars dug up from other mausoleums were not much, and the equivalent of gold was only two hundred and fifty tons of gold by European standards, it was obvious that they had not dug thoroughly enough.

Although the wealth of the Valley of the Kings is worth much, it is estimated that no one knows except the British in the original history, and there are many other handicrafts that were originally priceless at this time, but the equivalent of two hundred and fifty tons of gold is still a bit too little, and it is absolutely no problem to turn it over, that is to say, there is still a lot of excavation value in that place, and it can continue to dig deeper in the future.

But this number is already terrifying.

After the secret agent of the Jinyi Guard in the army knew its value, he immediately reported to the Egyptian commander, who also hurried to report to the headquarters, saying that there is nothing strange about the Jinyi Guard in the army, if Emperor Yang does not install the Jinyi Guard in the army, it will be strange, even if there are secret stakes in the modern army, but it will definitely not be known to the outside world, the spy rule is indeed very bad, but I have to admit that it is very useful.

"I know!"

Yang Feng said indifferently.

Yang Zhong quickly shut up.

"Your Majesty, Chief of General Staff Feng reported that the Egyptian envoy Fan Jinglu reported that a total of 110 million dragon dollars worth of gold and silver had been seized in Egypt, and there were also a number of other treasures valued at about 80 million dragon dollars, and they did not dare to ask His Majesty for a holy judgment."

An attendant walked over and spoke.

"Tell Fan Hong that I said that all the harvest in Egypt will be rewarded to them, and these things can be divided between the Seventh Army and the other units fighting in Egypt."

Yang Feng said with satisfaction.

Obviously, Fan Hong's report is also quite fast.

In recent years, all units of the Ming army have been fighting outside without complaint, relying on all kinds of bad acts, such as killing, arson***** robbery, digging graves, and all kinds of bad things they can do, even including human trafficking is very common. Military discipline must be observed in the country, which is meticulous, and you can relax appropriately when you arrive in the subject country, so there are also female students in the garrison of those subject countries, and when they go out of the territory of the Ming Empire, they can completely let go of their hands and feet.

It is precisely because of this that the Ming army is full of yearning for invading other countries.

To put it bluntly, it's just one word.

Lust for profit.

Otherwise, even if he is a god emperor, he can't force the soldiers to run to a foreign land thousands of miles away to fight hard, what's wrong with faith? The Ming army all believed in the Holy Religion, but the Holy Religion taught them to do good deeds and accumulate virtues, but the work they had to do was not at all compatible with the word goodness. On the one hand, he wants the soldiers to run out of the city, and on the other hand, he wants to do good deeds and accumulate virtues, even the people he admires will be at a loss, after all, the contrast between them is too strong, but if these people can get huge benefits, no one will consider the contradictions in the middle, on the contrary, they will find their own reasons to anesthetize.

For example, those British and French soldiers who came out of the Old Summer Palace with big bags and small bags, they did not feel that their actions were in any conflict with God's teachings, God clearly said that someone hit them on the left cheek, and they should stretch out the right cheek as well, so Xianfeng arrested their people, they should send another group of people to move to reason and affection, instead of running to burn people's homes, not only burning people's homes, but also pulling away all the people's altars and jars, which is obviously not in line with the doctrine.

The soldiers felt that they were not robbing, but that they were too much in love with art.

Well, that's a good word.

Just as their compatriots in Egypt dug up the tomb of the pharaoh and moved all the good things away is archaeology, I don't know what kind of archaeology it is to take Egyptian things to the British Museum and the Louvre.

"Alas, I'm becoming more and more like an imperialist!"

Emperor Yang sighed.

Then he quickly picked up a wheel and loaded it with something in front of him.

In front of him was a two-seater open-top carriage-like thing, two comfortable leather seats with spring cushions, a foldable canopy behind the backrest, and a coachman's seat in front, but the difference was that in front of the driver's seat was a disc, an axle extending directly from the center of the disc to his feet, and a pedal on the left and right under his feet, while in front of the driver's seat was a set of elaborate mechanical ......

Well, it's actually a car.

Cars that use internal combustion engines.

He now has a gasoline engine, although it is only a single cylinder, although it is only five horsepower, although it is noisy and the fuel consumption is high, but the power as a junior version of the car is enough, since this is of course necessary to build a car.

At this time, the steam car in Daming has actually been very popular, especially the short-distance transportation between cities using more and more steam cars, the eastern provinces are basically about to do the county through the bus, he is now starting to engage in cars, at least fifteen years to complete the popularization, and at that time the steam car is also ushering in the elimination tide, and then the gasoline engine of the passenger car on the post, the Ming directly transition to the modern traffic era, the rest is to go with the flow of slow development, to the end of their own life, basically Ming no matter from which aspect, They are almost close to the pre-World War I European level.

That's enough to maintain an absolute advantage.

As long as the technology is blocked, even if it is only blocked to the maximum, the Ming Dynasty does not say much, it is no problem not to be surpassed in two hundred years, if he works diligently, or kills a little harder, so that the number of Han people can account for more than half of the world's population, then this planet, it is estimated that if there are no major accidents, the Han people can still ensure their dominance in five hundred years.

Just when Emperor Yang was assembling the first internal combustion engine car of the Ming Dynasty, Fan Hong also received a telegram from Yang Feng replying to him, at this time Fan Jingluo was in a military camp in the Valley of the Kings, and in front of him, thousands of soldiers with guns were tightly protected, was a veritable gold mountain, countless exquisite crafts made of various gold, silver and jewelry were piled up in the sand, reflecting dazzling brilliance in the sun.

This is their harvest in the Valley of the Kings.

Not only Tutankhamun's grave, but all the places they could dig were dug up, at least in their opinion, all the treasures in this small valley should have been revealed, and so many good things did make them ecstatic, but they were also scared enough. Although the holy decree was to let them share all the harvest of Egypt, but the harvest was so large that they were still frightened and hurried to play, if there were millions of more than a million shares, they would have divided it, but this was all a billion, and it was not at all that they dared to divide it privately.

"What does the Divine Decree say?"

The officer beside him asked cautiously.

"The emperor's golden words, of course, what was said before, of course, what is said now, divided, the emperor's holy decree, these are all rewarded to our Egyptian armies, the whole army of the seventh army, the second and ninth armies, the second cavalry army, the marines, the South Ocean Fleet in the Red Sea task force, all departments add up to 75,000 people, and divide this 190 million dragon dollars of gold, silver and jewelry."

Fan Hong said.

But having said that, looking at the mountains of gold, silver and jewelry in front of him, especially the shocking pure gold coffin, he was also worried.

How can this be divided!

This amount is too much, 190 million to 75,000 people, even if the average score is more than 2,000 dragon dollars per person, more than 2,000 dragon dollars is more than 2,000 taels of silver, even if the income of the common people is very high now, but ordinary workers can only earn a few hundred yuan a year, more than 2,000 dragon dollars is already a huge amount of money, and even can buy a set of the latest small buildings with gardens, this money really has to be divided by the Egyptian armies, then he will be targeted by countless jealous eyes.

Even if it is a holy decree, it is useless.

Moreover, this is only harvested in one part of Egypt, what if there is more harvest in the future?

"Ma, it's troublesome if you have more money!"

He said speechlessly.

Of course, how he deals with this huge amount of wealth, this is not something that Emperor Yang needs to consider, in fact, Fan Hong also knows very well that although the emperor said that they will share it themselves, but if he really wants to do this, he will wait for countless open guns and hidden arrows in the future, so the best way is for everyone to have a share. First take a batch of good things and present them to the queen and the concubines in the palace, and then give a part of the bigwigs of the Cabinet General Staff and even the Inspectorate, including those senior generals in the military, and finally leave half of it according to the rank, and then give an extra part to everyone who participated in the excavation.

In this way, everyone can basically be happy.

In fact, as a huge empire, especially a feudal empire, the Ming Dynasty is also full of power, and even full of factional struggles, this kind of thing is always inevitable, Fan Hong can be a lieutenant general, naturally it is not all about being able to fight, and being a man is also a very important factor. If he was really stunned, he would have been divided so directly, and within a few days, the General Staff would have to put on small shoes for him, and the property controlled by his family would have to be investigated by the tax department immediately, and the same Inspectorate would soon impeach his relatives for bullying men and women in the township, and then demand the abolition of his viscount.

It's all essential.

As for the emperor, it is good to say, anyway, everyone has to deposit the gold, silver and jewelry in the bank in the end, and the Ming Imperial Bank is the only banknote issuing bank, no matter which bank it is deposited into, it will eventually flow into the treasury of the Imperial Bank.

And the Imperial Bank is the emperor's. (To be continued.) )
