Section 93 Prisoner Exchange
readx;
Subconsciously licked his lips that were a little dry, Wu Feng was also indescribably excited in his heart, he remembered a sentence he had heard when he traveled in the Central Continent: "You must judge the essence of a thing because of superficial phenomena, some things often have to be done before you know its true value." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The phrase "info" seems too suitable to describe his trip to Indian, originally I just wanted to fish in troubled waters, but I didn't expect to catch so many big fish in one fish, which greatly surprised my expectations, and it was really a relief to my future plans.
After all, he is the boss, Wu Feng's self-control ability is still much stronger, and when a cadre of Wenchen generals is still dumbfounded, he is already estimating the value of other materials other than these gold, "Xiao Tang, in addition to this batch of gold, what kind of price can other goods be sold for?"
"Lord Hui, the estimated value of twelve carts of silver is about two million imperial gold coins, and the inspectors of our financial department have specially inspected the purity of this batch of silver ingots, which is much higher than the purity of the silver ingots produced in the empire, so the estimated price is also slightly higher, and it can also be used for coinage; Emeralds and lapis lazuli are the mainstays, the specific price is not easy to estimate due to the lack of professional appraisers, but conservative estimates should also be more than five million imperial gold coins, a car of diamond products, it is estimated that it should also be about five million imperial gold coins, and the other car and a half are gems and diamonds, which have not yet been carved and formed, so it is impossible to estimate the price, but if the subordinates are carved or find a suitable buyer, its value is considerable; These antiques were highly sought after by the upper class nobles of the Western Continent. According to his subordinates, the value of this batch of antique jade should be at least more than eight million imperial gold coins. Xiao Tang also tried his best to suppress his excitement, and made a detailed introduction and analysis according to the list in his hand, and finally made a final decision, "This batch of materials should be more than 20 million imperial gold coins, and if you are not in a hurry to realize it, its value should be able to sell for more than 24 million imperial gold coins." This does not include the original batches. ”
Another huge wave of impact rushed towards them, and the people had not yet woken up from the wave of gold worth 50 million, and they were dizzy by this wave of jewelry and antiques, and even forgot what kind of opinion they should express to celebrate such an earth-shattering event, but you looked at me, I looked at you, and muttered to myself. I didn't know what I wanted to say or what I was going to say, so I just waited for the coach's speech in a daze.
Taking a deep breath, Wu Feng's mind had calmed down a lot at this time, and he nodded slightly and said, "Then what are the other cars of sundries?"
"Lord Hui, those cars of sundries are mainly some maps about the geography and topography of the Senge Plain, which are more detailed and detailed, and the geographical environment of the entire Senge Plain and several nearby areas have a more accurate and objective outline, and the effect is quite good. I have instructed our surveying and mapping department to make a comparison and correction against the map we originally obtained, and we will also make a new copy of their household registration and population information, and the original will need to be returned to their existing political axe. Xiao Tang replied with a smile, obviously the gains in this area also made him feel comfortable. These things may not seem very useful at the moment, but when you need them, you may not be able to exchange them for gold. He himself had a deep understanding of the usefulness of these things, so when he arranged for the people from the Administration Office to accompany the army of the Western Expedition, he specifically explained to the relevant personnel, and everything else could be dispensed without, but these things had to be brought back.
Wu Feng and Ling Tian's eyes burst out at the same time, Wu Feng sighed secretly in his heart, Xiao Tang deserved to be Xiao Tang, he really didn't have the slightest ambiguity in handing over the political axe work to him, when almost everyone, including himself, was focused on how to obtain wealth, he had already noticed those things that seemed to be insignificant but might play an extremely important role in the future, such as maps, I don't know how many people, how much time, and how much effort it took to draw the Qing School to form a thin book of systematic surnames, once you lose the opportunity, I am afraid that in the future, you will have to take it back from the hands of the Punjabs, not only will you have to pay a considerable price, even if you succeed, it may not be complete and detailed, at this point, Xiao Tang's performance did show his foresight, even Ling Tianfang had to admire this.
It's just that at this moment, Wu Feng didn't want to say anything more at this point, his admiring gaze was enough to represent everything, and he nodded slightly: "Very good, well done." In the words of Lord Xiao, the value of the wealth we obtained during this trip to the west should be about 70 million imperial gold coins? I don't know what method it takes for such a large fortune to become the funds that we can use in practice? Of course, the premise is that it is best not to let the central government of the empire know too much about the inside information, so as to save those officials from having nothing to do and poke our backbones. ”
"This depends on the opinion of the adult, the processing of gold and silver is more convenient, if you want to be quick and convenient, you can exchange it through several big money villages, but from the perspective of confidentiality, it is not advisable to exchange too much at a time, you can only cash in batches; The subordinates agree with this method, and if there are no major changes, this method is both safe and conducive to secrecy. ”
Xiao Tang has long been aware that this meeting is not just a report on the harvest of the western expedition to India, from the perspective of the participants, the military personnel accounted for the vast majority, only a few officials of the political axe system, in addition to himself and Wang Yi, Rao is the director of combat readiness, Jin Ning is the director of intelligence, and they have nothing to do with military affairs, and although Zhou Tinggui and Fielding are city guards and belong to the political axe system, they are both responsible for the heavy responsibility of the northwest and northern defense lines, and they obviously have a military purpose to participate in the meeting, but still involuntarily revealed the meaning of dissuasion in the words.
Wu Feng didn't understand the meaning of his administrative director's words, but he pretended not to understand and continued to ask: "What about the monetization channels of other things?"
Sighing secretly in his heart, Xiao Tang knew that his persuasion could not change his boss's decision, so he had to cheer up and say: " Other means of realization such as gemstones, diamonds, jewelry, and jade are more troublesome, because the market has a certain limit to the acceptance capacity within a certain period of time, and we have such a large quantity, once it is introduced to the market, it will also make the price fluctuate greatly, which is not very beneficial to us, and the subordinates suggest that they can sell through a variety of channels to the Western Continent and the Empire and the Kingdom of Milan and other places, or invite some famous buyers and jewelry merchants from all over the mainland to come to Qingyang to see the goods, and sell them at a good price, and if they can't, they will be kept temporarily, waiting for the opportunity, anyway, we are not in a hurry to sell now。 ”
"Well, that's a good idea, and I'll leave these things to the Financial Services Department. Now many aspects need funds, I think the disposal of gold and silver can be exchanged and realized through the Qianzhuang Silver Building first, and I have to let those guys take advantage of it, and the rest will be minted by ourselves according to what Xiao Tang said!" The generals and officials in the hall gradually woke up from the huge wealth shock wave just now, and began to ponder the meaning of the boss's words, and took a compromise approach to Xiao Tang's suggestion, indicating that the boss had already made up his mind that it was a place that urgently needed money and something that needed to be solved with money.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I would now like to ask Mr. Wang Yi to introduce the results of our negotiations with the Kamanites on the issue of prisoner exchange. Ling Tianfang's words were concise and to the point, and one sentence drew everyone's attention back.
"Appointed by Lord Li, Wang Yi sent an envoy to Kaman, and after several rounds of negotiations and reported to Lord Li for approval, the preliminary agreement with the Kaman people has not been completed. Wang Mi's face was solemn, and he looked very solemn: "Our side was captured by the Kamanites in the first battle of Jiayuguan [***], and our side captured more than 23,000 enemy troops in the battle of Jieluo [***], according to the agreement reached between our two sides, the soldiers of both sides will be exchanged according to the ratio of one to one, and the remaining 15,000 people on our side will be redeemed at the price of one hundred and fifty gold coins per person, and a total of two million two hundred and fifty thousand imperial gold coins will be paid. The exchange site was set up outside Jiayu Pass, and the exchange lasted for 15 days, with 2,000 people per day for the first 10 days and 1,800 people per day for the last five days. In the early stage, the Imperial Gold Coin was used as the exchange currency, and after urgent negotiations, the other party also agreed to our proposal to directly use the gold as a ransom. It was agreed that the exchange would start on 10 September. ”
"Hmm, Wang Yi, how is the situation of our people over there?" Wu Feng showed a satisfied look on his face and asked carefully, "Have you been treated unfairly?"
"My lord, to be honest, it is not very good, for for so long the Kamanites have been scattered and imprisoned as coolies, and we have made serious protests many times, but the other side has ignored them, and it is not until we have captured their soldiers in the battle of Gerlok that they have taken this into account and have corrected this practice. Wang Yi replied with a wry smile, "The subordinates have led the military medical officer to carefully inspect our soldiers before signing the agreement, and after this period of cultivation, the situation has improved a lot, but there are still a small number of soldiers who are not in good health, and it is estimated that it is difficult to undertake military service anymore." ”
