Chapter Ninety-Two: Gold
"Doesn't that turn paper bills into money?" Zhao Weiji's words can be said to be deafening for Feng Yun.
In this way, paper becomes money, and as long as this piece of paper can be exchanged for gold, it is money.
"No, there must be something in here that I missed, this paper does turn into money like this, and there is something I haven't figured out." Feng Yun, who always felt that something was still wrong, had already squatted down with his head in his arms at this time.
At this time, everyone saw Feng Yun's abnormal behavior, and when someone wanted to step forward to ask, they were interrupted by Zhao Weiji: "Let him think about it." β
This person is a financial wizard, Zhao Weiji wants to stimulate this person's potential more, because he doesn't know too much about finance, and he needs help in this regard.
Feng Yun was left in place to meditate, and Jiang Yu spoke up: "Did the prince say that there are a lot of gold mines in this land?" β
"Yes, there are countless gold mines in the mountains not far away."
Just after Zhao Weiji finished saying the word gold mine, Feng Yunluo jumped up. "Gold mine, gold, yes, Lord Wang, there is another fatal flaw in your plan, and that is gold. Until the gold mine you speak of is mined, where will we have the gold to carry out your plan? β
After listening to Feng Yun's words, Zhao Weiji smiled slyly: "Is there really not." β
β¦β¦
South America, in the Andes, on the shores of Lake Titicaca, in an Indian tribe.
βοΌ @#οΏ₯%β¦β¦ (*......%Β₯" A man dressed as a chief kept yelling at the West, and although he couldn't understand what he was saying, it didn't look like a good thing to look at him.
In front of him, five men were tied to a tree, naked, and then someone smeared them with something sticky.
When all the men were covered in the gooey substance, the chief muttered something like a eulogy, and then took his people away.
About ten days after they left, the five men were all dead, and when they died, they were crawling with ants.
β¦β¦
"Find someone to inform the Poseidon and ask them to bring those boxes of things."
Everyone didn't understand what the boxes of things in Zhao Weiji's mouth were, but they didn't wait too long, and about half an hour later, more than a dozen sailors came into the city hall, carrying five large boxes in their hands.
It's just that the decoration on the box is quite strange, it is not a product of the Central Plains at all, nor is it the style of the Khitan people, in short, it is a decorative image that they have never seen.
"Lord Wang, what is this?" Feng Yun, who was the most curious, couldn't help it, so he was the first to ask.
Zhao Weiji nodded at the sailors, and then saw the sailors open the box.
As soon as the lid of the box was lifted, all the boxes emitted golden light, which was a little dazzling. When everyone looked at it, all the staff gasped, and the five large boxes were all gold.
There are sand-like sand, there are pebble-like grains, some coarse-grained gold ornaments, and fist-sized gold nuggets, all of which are gold, although they are of different shapes.
Feng Yun, who couldn't believe the facts in front of him, picked up a piece of gold the size of a stone and took a bite, clear tooth marks appeared on the gold, and Feng Yun, who still couldn't believe it, picked different gold nuggets in a row and tried them with his teeth, all of which were branded with his tooth marks.
"Really, it's all real gold." At this time, Feng Yun's voice trembled a little
At this time, everyone looked at Zhao Weiji at the same time, that kind of look was like looking at a fairy, and there was a sense of awe in their eyes, including Wang Dayuan, who went to sea with Zhao Weiji.
Wang Dayuan rubbed his eyes, repeatedly confirmed the gold in the box, and asked the sailors who carried the box over, and after waiting for a true answer, Wang Dayuan asked Zhao Weiji in a tone full of disbelief:
"Where did the gold come from? Why I don't know when I'm on the boat. β
"Oh, of course it was from the natives who sold the potatoes." As if it wasn't a big deal, Zhao Weiji's answer was full of a relaxed tone, "I sent someone to steal it when we were buying potatoes." β
"Robbed?" Now Wang Dayuan was even more crazy, "How is this possible, how do you know where the gold is hidden?" β
"It's not simple, when we enter that tribe, is there a temple building in the east of the tribe, which is very conspicuous and very high?"
After hearing Zhao Weiji's question, Wang Dayuan tried hard to recall, "It seems to be yes, so what's the matter?" β
"The gold is in the temple."
"Then how did you know there would be gold in the temple?" Wang Dayuan, who still couldn't figure it out, then asked.
"Have you noticed the chief?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Is there anything different about how he dresses?"
"It's no different from other natives, except that the feathers on the top of the head are longer and more beautiful, there are two gold necklaces on the chest, and there are multiple gold bracelets on the left and right hands, what's the matter?"
Zhao Weiji, who found that Wang Dayuan was still a little confused, couldn't help but cover his forehead with his hand, "You can explain it to him." β
Hearing that Zhao Weiji actually pulled himself out, Jiang Yu smiled bitterly and explained: "Huanzhang, you still don't understand, doesn't the chief in your mouth wearing gold prove that this tribe has gold, and they also worship and love gold." Isn't it possible to deduce that there was gold hidden in the temple? Do you think, if the supreme ruler of a tribe has a lot of gold, then there will be less gods? β
After Jiang Yu's explanation, Wang Dayuan seemed to understand, but there was still one thing that he hadn't figured out, "But how did you send someone to get all this gold out?" β
"This matter, let Tian Qi on your left tell you." Zhao Weiji pointed to the sailor named Tian Qi on Wang Dayuan's left, and motioned him to tell Wang Dayuan what had happened.
Suddenly let himself tell the story Tian Qiwei was embarrassed, he scratched his head before he spoke: "Here's the thing, just when he was about to enter that tribe, the prince looked for our brothers.
The prince told us that we might run into the local natives, and if nothing else, there should be a lot of gold in these tribes, and when the time comes, let us act according to his color, and he will tell us where the gold is, and it will attract the attention of the whole tribe, and then we just need to steal all the gold while all the attention is focused on the king.
I didn't expect everything to be exactly as the prince expected, and after we arrived at the tribe, the chief of that tribe was really full of gold. So the prince raised his chin towards the east of the tribe, meaning that the gold must be on the faΓ§ade of a certain building due east.
Then the prince began to communicate with the chief through Snow, and seemed to attract the attention of the whole tribe through some means.
And we took the opportunity to slip in, and went directly to the east, because everyone on the road was attracted by the prince, so our actions did not attract anyone's attention.
That is, until we slipped in front of a building that looked like a temple, and found that the building was guarded by five men. At that time, all the people who fell down ran to see the excitement, but only these few men were indifferent, so we were sure that this should be the place where the king hid the gold in his mouth.
So we went around to the temple, and then waited for an opportunity to knock out the men and sneak into the temple.
When we entered the temple, we saw five large chests on the altar, and we opened one of them, and found that all of them were gold, and then we took all the chests out of the temple and slipped back to the boat from the side path. In the end, I returned here with the box. β
After listening to Tian Qi's story, Wang Dayuan finally matched all the abnormalities that happened in the entire indigenous tribe, why did Zhao Weiji suddenly show an abnormal behavior, why did Tian Qi suddenly disappear from the team, and then appeared again when they returned to the ship, why Zhao Weiji was so happy when he used a pound of gold to buy fifty catties of potatoes and sweet potatoes each, why after getting the potatoes and sweet potatoes, Zhao Weiji immediately retreated, and did not give any time to rest.
It turned out that all this was his preparation to steal the gold of other tribes.
"Anyway, that continent is far away from us, and we won't deal with them again in a short time, and this bit of potatoes and sweet potatoes will cost us a pound of gold, which can be seen that this tribe is greedy enough, so there is no need to be ashamed to rob them of their gold. Besides, there were gold mines in that land, and they would soon be able to accumulate new gold. Feeling that Wang Dayuan had some changes in mentality, Zhao Weiji explained to him.
"Lord Wang, it's not because of this, it's because you didn't tell me about such a big thing."
"It's not that I don't tell you, you've been with Snow all day, how can I tell you. I can't let Snow know that I'm going to rob their relatives of gold. Here's another reminder, don't tell Snow. β
After hearing Zhao Weiji's defense, Wang Dayuan had no choice but to reply with a wry smile: "Okay, okay, follow your orders." β
Now that the gold is in hand, Zhao Weiji's banknote plan can be implemented, but before that, he has to build a workshop, because the gold has to be melted and reminted into gold coins.
This matter was handed over to Wang Dayuan to do.
And Zhao Weiji himself has more important things to do, because he is about to start hanging.
