Every morning, he would take Gu Laoer, Qu Muchen and others to the textile factory construction site two kilometers west of the city, inspect the construction progress of his four engineer company brothers, and discuss the factory construction plan with more than a dozen landlords and squires of the old Nanchang Chamber of Commerce.

An Yi and a group of young and old, saw a new factory covering an area of 125 acres gradually take shape, and their faces were naturally filled with excitement and satisfaction.

The major squires and landlords of the old Nanchang are quite powerful, and the ramie raw materials are produced in this province, every household in the production area has been carrying out the initial processing of ramie, and the beautiful hemp is sold to support the family, and the price is low, almost inexhaustible, the acquired twine can be increased dozens of times after the processing and production of foreign advanced production equipment, and then there is an Yi to the sale guaranteed by shares, all the landlords and wealthy businessmen are unanimously optimistic about the prospects of the ramie textile factory.

For more than 10 days, under the repeated pleas of the major landlords, squires and business tycoons in old Nanchang, An Yi could only divide a part of his shares, from 70 percent to 40 percent, the newly established old Nanchang collective accounted for 30 percent of the shares, Zhou Dashanren, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Zhou Boxin and Zhou Zhongxin, two brothers, obtained 20 percent of the shares, and Xi Muyan, a wealthy businessman who was very familiar with the acquisition, processing and market of ramie raw materials, accounted for 10 percent of the shares.

Xi Muyan, who has dreamed of owning a textile factory since he was a child and is well-known in the Nanchang business community for his integrity and diligence, was nominated by An Yi and was appointed as the first factory director through collective discussion.

Due to the investment of the new shareholders, the investment amount of the entire new plant has also increased from the original estimate of 330,000 yuan to the current 450,000 yuan.

The three shareholder representatives who ordered the equipment nominated by the Chamber of Commerce had taken a boat from Jiujiang to Guangzhou four days ago with An Yi's letter and a huge check of 300,000 yuan to negotiate the purchase of equipment with Mr. Ou Yaoting, a wealthy man from Guangdong and Hong Kong. Among them, there is also an order for equipment for another project in which An Yi accounts for 30 percent -- rice milling equipment, oil presses, packaging and sealing equipment, and diesel generator sets for processing 200,000 tons of rice, corn, and tea per year.

With An Yi's high-profile appearance, all kinds of wine banquets and family banquets followed, endlessly, An Yi, who had drunk wine for four days, really couldn't cope, so he could only refuse one by one with his busy military affairs, and every afternoon he and Gu Laoer, Qu Muchen and others carried rifles to Chen Zhibiao's third camp shooting range in the southern suburbs to have a gun addiction.

Thanks to the healing of the gunshot wound on his body, An Yi was able to move freely at this time, but his shooting level was getting farther and farther away from the sharpshooter Li Fuqiang, who was recognized by his brothers, and was not even as good as the high-ranking apprentice brought out by Li Zhiqiang, the twenty-one-year-old Sichuan soldier Deng Bin, who was only slightly better than Li Fuqiang's other two apprentices.

After the last two shots, An Yi used a telescope to look at the target report results 400 meters away, and nodded slightly, it is already very good that the head target shooting can achieve excellent results in five shots and five hits in 400 meters. An Yi lovingly disassembled the scope and wiped it clean, carefully put it into the original long hard leather box, closed the lid and fastened it carefully, raised his head and asked the shooting instructor Li Fuqiang: "Lao Li, have the brothers mastered new shooting skills?" ”

Li Fuqiang, who had a vicissitudes of life and a stocky figure, threw away his cigarette butt and replied with a smile: "Basically figured it out, on the first day, we didn't know how to use these dirt buns, and they basically missed the target, even I couldn't figure out what was going on, if it weren't for Captain Qu and Camp Commander Ye translating those chicken intestine texts and writing them into a booklet to explain to us one by one, teaching us how to measure the wind direction and wind force, and how to simply estimate the difference rate, we really don't know how to use this advanced thing."

Now it's good, after practicing hundreds of shots, I finally found the trick, even my apprentice Deng Bin can easily hit the head target within 400 meters, I am slightly better than them, this is something I never dared to think of before. If our guns had a better range and had a longer range, we would have no problem killing targets six hundred meters away under the scope. ”

An Yi sighed helplessly: "I want to too...... But it would be nice to have this kind of Mauser now, and all the fifty carefully selected German Mauser rifles that arrived the day before yesterday were issued to you, and the price of each one was more than twice that of ordinary imported Mausers. The trouble is that I can't get these good weapons with money, and if it weren't for the help of my German buddy Hans, I wouldn't have gotten these fifty guns, so you have to tell the brothers to cherish them.

Nowadays, the domestic imitation rifle can only have an accurate head within 150 meters, beyond this distance, the bullet does not know where to fly, whether it is the gun manufacturing process or the bullet manufacturing technology, we are much worse than Germany, said this country, there is really no way! We can only wait patiently, as long as new high-quality rifles are produced abroad, I will do my best to buy them back for you. ”

Li Fuqiang nodded gratefully: "Don't worry, boss, the gun is here!" ”

An Yi packed up his rifle and put it on his back, handed the scope to Li Fuqiang, called Gu Laoer, who had just finished practicing double-gun shooting, and said hello to Qu Muchen and others who led the teaching team to practice guns and then left.

"Boss, it is estimated that Lao Ding and Xiaodouzi will have a result tonight." Gu Lao Er saw the slightest worry in An Yi's eyes, and hurriedly explained.

An Yi shook his head and said, "It's the fifth day, why should I come back?" My concern is not so much whether they will succeed, but whether they will be able to come back. If you can't get the money, you will definitely be able to come back safely, if you get the money, it will worry me, think about it, the weight of two thousand oceans is fifty-three kilograms, even if it is gold bars, one thousand taels of gold is more than thirty-seven kilograms, how many oceans and gold bars can one person and one horse take to run? What's more, there were only thirty-six of them, and for the sake of secrecy and safety, they only brought about twenty horses, and to be honest, I was really worried that they would have an accident on the way back. ”

Gu Lao Er laughed: "Don't worry, they have pondered these things at least a hundred times, and they will definitely have their own methods, half of Lao Ding's men and horses are all old rivers and lakes who have traveled south and north, and after our extremely strict formal training, they are all good brothers who have drunk blood wine together and sworn to the sky, so we don't need to worry about them here." ”

An Yi smiled bitterly and nodded: "Okay, I don't worry about it, it's useless...... Let's go, Tiger Head, let's have a drink tonight, and wait for news while drinking. ”

Six horses carrying An Yi and others galloped on the dirt road between the suburbs of the city, and after a while, they entered the county seat and came to the entrance of the regimental headquarters of the county government.

An Yi and a few others entered the compound and turned over and dismounted, and the beard and Xiaodouzi had already greeted the lobby with a smile on their faces.

An Yi saw the proud smile on Xiaodouzi's face, and was ecstatic in his heart, and then saw that the beard nodded slightly and immediately strode forward, laughing and taking Xiaodouzi's hand through the lobby and back to the middle courtyard, his mouth was full of praise, and he was overjoyed.

When he entered his room, he saw more than thirty large and small cloth sacks with open openings piled up in the corner of the wall, and the glittering golden light made An Yi in a trance, and his eyes were dizzy.

An Yi, whose lips trembled and couldn't say a word for a long time, took a while before he came to his senses, and he was so excited that he punched Ding Zhicheng's strong chest.

"Sit down and tell me what happened." An Yi's heart was like a drum, Jun's face was flushed, and he couldn't even see the teacup handed over by Yin Jinan.

Ding Zhicheng sat down slowly and reported in a low voice: "Sure enough, as you got, on the second day of our departure, we met the officers and soldiers of the Second Army and the Third Army along the way, and the next afternoon we arrived at a place five kilometers north of Anfu City to rest. Nearly 100 banquets stretched from the barracks opposite the county government to the streets, and the streets were full of soldiers and civilians who were ready to drink and give gifts, without any guards and patrol officers and soldiers...... Boss, you can drink saliva first. ”

An Yi turned his head and found that Yin Jinan was also stunned, and he was still holding a large cup of tea handed to An Yi in his hand and forgot to put it on the table.

Yin Jinan put down the teacup embarrassedly, sat down, shook his head self-deprecatingly, and then looked at Ding Zhicheng expectantly.

Ding Zhicheng continued: "Although Luo Xiliang lives in the county government with his wife and children, his ancestral house is in Longbei Village in the east of the city, and it covers an extremely wide area, like a small castle, which the locals call Luojiabao.

At 2:40 in the second half of the night, our three groups of brothers changed into the uniforms of the Third Army, covered their faces and quietly sneaked into Longxi behind Luojiabao, and squeezed in through the water outlet.

I led a group of eight brothers to sneak into the garden behind the main house, Xiaodouzi led seven brothers from three groups to the front hall, Tie Niu led the second group of eight brothers to support, and in less than half an hour, more than 30 sleeping guards in Luojiabao were quietly killed, and the maids and women were all knocked out and tied up, and Luo Xiliang and his little wife, who went home to sleep, were tied up and gagged without opening their eyes.

I only cut off one of Luo Xiliang's little fingers, and he was so frightened that he took us to the silver vault, and saw the large basement floor full of ocean gold bars and registered silver tickets, we all looked stupid! ”

Ding Zhicheng's eyes lit up, obviously deeply shocked and regretful by the scene at that time: "According to the original plan, we had to give up boxes of oceans, all loaded with jewelry, gold bars and antique gold Buddhas, Tie Niu saw that most of the things could not be moved, so he simply led a few brothers to the stables in the backyard and put on three carts to lead to the front yard, and the twenty brothers were busy for a while before they moved the thirty-seven heavy bags and bags to the cart, and then went to the backyard stables to pull out a dozen horses and drove out of Luojiabao generously. Taking advantage of the darkness, he boldly drove into the east of the city, and turned north at the T-shaped street entrance.

When I passed by the barracks gate, I took a special look, and the sentries were all fucking shrunk into the sentry box, wrapped in cotton clothes, napping, and not looking at the movement outside.

We took advantage of the moonlight all the way to the north, and on the way out of the city, we encountered a patrol militia group, and they did not stop us, and nodded and saluted us, probably thinking that we were the people of the garrison reading group.

When we went out of the city, the brothers of the four groups had already solved the problem of several militia groups at the intersection of the north of the city, and we immediately ran at full speed to the north for a few miles, and when the sky was bright, we separated in the south of Chigu Village, which was twenty-five kilometers north of Anfu, and the seven brothers of the four groups pulled the cart and eight horses and ran to the northwest, and scattered a little bit of the ocean from time to time along the way, and our three groups put all the bags on horseback, pretended to be merchants and divided into three groups to keep a distance and turned eastward, all the way to pick up the barren mountain trail where no one was around, in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, stop and go, It wasn't until about 8 o'clock the night before yesterday that I walked more than 60 kilometers of trail and arrived at a small village on the edge of the Gan River.

We spent more than half an hour stealing two wooden boats down the river, Xiaodouzi led two groups of 17 people and horses to cross the east bank along the river before and after, this morning at 6 o'clock in the morning finally arrived at the east bank of Wanzhou Town, north of Fengcheng, we immediately moved down the bag to sink the wooden boat and changed to the land, at 3:50 in the afternoon returned to the camp safely, the four groups of brothers who were suspicious soldiers came back half a day earlier, the whole five days and four nights were lifeless but safe, not a soldier, a soldier and a horse, haha! ”

The brothers praised loudly and laughed, An Yi immediately shouted and set up wine, and led Gu Lao Er and Hu Zi to the guard company barracks in the depths of the middle courtyard, and drank with the brothers who participated in the mission.

Yin Jinan closed the door tightly, opened the bag with the quartermaster Shi Lejun and Lao Chang and counted them, and was busy until more than three o'clock in the morning of the next day.

Yin Jinan stood up and reported a set of numbers to An Yi, Hu Zi and Gu Laoer, who were sitting in the room drinking tea and waiting: "The gold bars are twenty-six thousand two hundred and forty taels, which is equivalent to about one hundred and one hundred thousand in the ocean at the market price. The value of the golden Buddha, jewelry, antiques and other items is about 2.5 million oceans, and there are four bronzes and a pair of jades, and Le Jun cannot determine their value. ”

An Yi and the others were taken aback, glanced at the golden Buddhas, beads and gems neatly placed all over the ground, and finally looked at Shi Lejun. Shi Lejun thought that several bosses were not satisfied with their estimates, and hurriedly stepped forward and explained ashamedly: "I'm sorry, the younger brother's talent is really limited, and he really can't determine the age of the two copper tripods and the two bronze Buddhas, but he has some understanding of the jade bi on the table, which is estimated to be a royal article in the Eastern Han Dynasty, if it is true, its value is often hundreds of thousands of millions, so the younger brother really does not dare to assert lightly." ”

"No, no! Lejun, we don't mean to be dissatisfied at all, but we really didn't expect to get so many treasures back...... God! With such a large amount, I'm afraid it's already a mess outside......"

An Yi looked up to the sky and sighed, his heart was pounding wildly, and he couldn't press it.

The beard was very calm, and he squatted down to carefully examine the jewels and jade on the ground, his face full of reminiscence: "In the autumn of the year when I was eighteen years old, I went to Handan with my uncle and a group of brothers from the dart bureau to take over a business, and escorted this kind of thing on the ground, loaded two carriages, and escorted them to the British trading house in Tianjinwei.

On the way back from receiving the dart gold, I heard from my uncle that the two truckloads worth 2 million oceans were all dug up from the ancient tomb by a tomb robber in Handan, and it was said that they were the tombs of a prince and concubine in the Han Dynasty, and a pair of burial jade bottles were worth 400,000 oceans.

This incident left a deep impression on me, I couldn't wait to go to the tomb robber to learn art, if it weren't for the strict rules of the teacher, maybe Lao Tzu would have become a tomb robber now! ”

Gu Lao Er laughed: "I estimate that the emeralds the size of five pigeon eggs are more valuable, I have seen such a big gem for the first time, usually a peanut is worth tens of thousands, such a big one is not two or three hundred thousand?" Tsk, I really made a fortune this time! ”

An Yi forcibly suppressed the restlessness in his heart and let out a long sigh: "No matter how much it is worth, we can't move this batch of treasures for the time being, let alone deposit gold bars in major banks at this juncture, otherwise it will only make people investigate in every possible way, and cause us huge trouble, and I think that at least in a year or two, we must not move, let alone take these treasures to fight, we have to find a place to hide as soon as possible!" ”

"That's what I mean, and using this wealth now is tantamount to a moth to a fire and bringing about your own destruction...... Ah, I remember, there's a place I guess is good. ”

Yin Jinan motioned for everyone to come closer, and when all the brothers gathered together, he immediately whispered: "The stone hill in the southeast corner of the factory site in the west of the city is surrounded by a 40-acre camphor forest and plum forest, and the planned staff dormitory and the brothers' family houses are built there.

Why don't we take the excuse of building a fixed guard post, dig a pit three meters deep and five meters square on the edge of the stone hill, and then pour cement with iron support and formwork, and then paint with waterproof materials, it only takes two days to get it, and then we will quietly store this batch of treasures, pour cement on the top and then build a glazed tile sentry box, as long as it is strictly kept secret, it can be safely stored from people's ears and eyes, and then quietly open and sell it after the wind has passed. ”

An Yi, Hu Zi, and Gu Lao Er looked at each other for a moment, nodded in unison, An Yi thought about it and then made additions, and asked the brothers of the special detachment to go to the construction training of the engineer subject in the name of the guard company, so that they could keep the secret within the minimum scope of today.

Everything was arranged, the brothers left quietly, Hu Zi and An Yi guarded the millions of wealth in the house and did not feel sleepy at all, Hu Zi thought about how to pack boxes to save more space, but An Yi thought about what kind of news he would hear when he went to the city tomorrow to attend President Jiang's reception luncheon?
