For more than half a month, the comrades of the engineering team and the seafarer group soaked in the sea day and night, fully experiencing the fun of treasure hunting in the sea.

Captain Andrew and his men had always maintained a high interest in the ship, and like the famous French emperor in the future, they could not fathom how such a large piece of steel could float on the surface of the water. However, because Jack and Julie don't get on the boat often, it is difficult for them to communicate, and no matter how many questions he has, he can't answer them here.

Moreover, Wang Haiyang, who is in charge of the safety and security work on the ship, has always been wary of these foreigners, and has always forbidden them to get off the engine room, these foreigners can't see those machines, and of course can't understand where the power of the ship comes from.

However, Huang Xiaodong is quite friendly to these people, because they are very diligent, as long as they are free, they take the initiative to scrub the deck, railings, and gangways everywhere, these ten days, the Qionghai, which is a little shabby, has actually been cleaned up, and the cable anchor chains are neatly coiled around and around, and modern people are far inferior to those old sailors in this regard.

In the spirit of thrift, they fished up everything they could touch, and even the wreckage of two Dutch ships was dragged to the shore. Anyway, the Qionghai's engine power was sufficient, and the tonnage was large enough, and the two Dutch ships were only a few hundred tons, and they had been broken into two or three pieces, which were hoisted with floating barrels and dragged to the stern, and they were easily towed ashore.

They are all excellent woods, and there is even mahogany, a specialty of Southeast Asia, which occupies the Indonesian Dutch, and even the spare materials for repairing ships are so extravagant. However, it can be seen that in Jakarta at this time, the so-called "Batavia" area was still abundant in mahogany.

"It's good to use it for furniture......"

When dismantling the wreckage, more than one person has wondered whether it is authentic Indonesian mahogany furniture or a whole piece of wood, which is not the same as the small pieces of wood that are put together in a modern furniture store.

And it attracts everyone's attention more than wood. It is more than 20 bronze cannons salvaged from the bottom of the sea, although in the eyes of modern people, this kind of artillery has long been old, but in the minds of the Ming Dynasty, this is an out-and-out big killing weapon.

Ming Ji Liao Governor Yuan Chonghuan's battle of fame in the Battle of Ningyuan. The "Hongyi cannons" that supposedly wounded and killed the Qing Emperor Nurhachi were in fact just 18-pounder guns removed by the Portuguese from a British cruiser stranded outside the port of Macao.

Just this kind of second-hand goods, and later he actually gave the Emperor of the Apocalypse a general, this period. In the entire territory of the Ming Dynasty, only two places were equipped with this kind of martial arts, and the city of Beijing had twenty gates. Ten gates outside Ningyuan.

However, now, outside the small city of Lingao County on Hainan Island, four pound bronze cannons of the same specification were casually thrown on the beach, which were the bow guns of two flue ships. There were also a number of nine-pounder broadside guns and twelve-pounder stern guns, as well as a number of large and bulky arquebuses.

These things have aroused great interest among the local people, and many locals come to see the excitement every day. Later, Pang Yu and the others simply cleaned up a shed, set up all these guns, and built an exhibition hall with the flags of the East India Company and the uniforms of the Dutch soldiers, together with the flags of the East India Company and the uniforms of the Dutch soldiers.

In the eyes of the locals, it is true that these short-haired resisting officers and soldiers are very rebellious, but it is quite pleasant to deal with the red-haired ones. Even that Cheng Yegao county commander didn't care about the "sick body". Ran over several times to watch these trophies, and also muttered with Master Li about how to write a document and send it to Fucheng, and now he also wants to open it. It doesn't matter what you think of him over there, as long as you sit in the county hall for a day, this Lingao county town is still under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty.

"As soon as the cannon goes off, there is some truth to the words of ten thousand taels of gold, ha!"

Flipping through the list of newly counted salvage items, even Xu Hui, a consistently calm engineer, couldn't help but show a little smile on his face.

In addition to the timber and ordnance mentioned above, they also obtained a large number of navigational equipment and devices, hundreds of square meters of canvas alone, as well as a large number of cables, barrels, metal spare parts, etc., which could not be placed in the warehouse, so that the engineering team had to urgently set up several greenhouses near the beach to temporarily stack these materials.

In addition, two small but delicate wooden chests were placed separately in front of everyone, which were scavenged from the captain's quarters of two Dutch ships, and there were no bank safes in those days, and each captain's adventure savings were carried with him. Andrew and his old seamen knew what this "captain's suitcase" meant, and as soon as the water came out of the water, they fished up the two boxes first, and then honestly handed them over to the traversers.

"Guess what's inside?"

Xie Xi asked everyone with a smile, but he didn't expect anyone to answer, but picked up an axe and cut off the lock of the box directly, and then lifted the lid of the box. Immediately, all the people present let out an exclamation.

Gold! The inside of the chest was full of gold, and it was all gold.

Most of them are all kinds of gold coins, such as the Royal Rose of England, the Louis of French Land, the Pistol of Spain, and the Ducate of Holland...... And so on, most modern people don't know these coins, but they just need to know: these are all gold mint, and that's enough.

In addition, there are some gold ornaments, many of which are obviously Chinese-style gold jewelry, and there are even faint traces of blood on them, and it is not known how many sins those sea coachmen have done for this gold.

But now it doesn't matter, this wealth eventually returned to the arms of the Chinese people, at least in the hands of the representatives of the Chinese people.

"Get rich, get rich!"

The young man Ye Mengyan was so excited that he probably couldn't see anything in his eyes except gold, and if no one was around, he stretched out his hand to the box of gold, but the pair of claws were immediately opened by a slap of "snap".

"What are you doing!"

"Uh......"

Xiao Ye was stunned for a moment, and then said timidly:

"Let's divide the gold, everybody's share...... I should have a copy too, right? ”

"And then? Do you expect to take the gold home and marry a daughter-in-law, or go to somewhere in the Ming Dynasty to buy a piece of land and become a rich man? ”

Ling Ning said with a sarcastic smile, and seeing the ridiculed eyes of others, Ye Mengyan then remembered: In this current situation, even if there is gold, there is nowhere to spend it.

Seeing Xiao Ye retreat in a depressed voice, Pang Yu and Professor Li behind him discussed a few words softly, and then stood up:

"Don't be discouraged, this gold does belong to all of us, and it is not needed for the time being. But sooner or later, our current primitive state will be broken, and everyone will have their own private property. At that time, the gold, along with the rest of the booty, will be distributed equally among everyone. ”

As soon as these two boxes were delivered, I knew what was inside just by checking the portions. To this end, all the members of the staff group, Professor Li, Tang Jian and others held a special meeting, and they focused on discussing the issue of future benefit distribution.

Their group has come to this point, like a company that has gone through the initial difficult period and is gradually becoming profitable. The issue of benefit distribution has always been the top priority in the handling of relations within a group, and if this aspect is not handled well, no matter how strong and excellent the team is, it will definitely fall apart.

For the staff group and other people of insight in this group, it is not necessarily a good thing to get these gold, these gold is too dazzling, too dazzling, and all interests are exposed at once. The members of the Qionghai, since they came to the Ming Dynasty, as Pang Yu said, are still in a relatively "primitive" stage, except for the personal belongings carried by each person before the crossing are clearly at their own disposal, other seized materials or public means of production are still in the collective public ownership.

Strictly speaking, the ship "Qionghai" itself belongs to Huang Xiaodong, and his father is the captain and the contractor of the ship; And Wang Jiaojiao should be the owner of the Hummer, if she inherits her boyfriend's "inheritance"; In addition, there are Wu Nanhai's plant seeds, Wang Ruobin's firearms workshop, and Lin Hanlong's group ...... All of these were communist.

So, if we really want to talk about distribution, then the distribution according to work and distribution according to capital that is usually customary in modern society is certainly not feasible, if these things are counted as fixed assets, then how can other people's history and expertise be counted? Not everyone in this group may be equally important, but most people have their irreplaceable importance.

"A good distribution system must be truly accepted by everyone; It must be able to motivate everyone's enthusiasm and motivate everyone to work harder for the benefit rather than the other way around; It has to be able to bring us together as a community, not the other way around! ”
