Lu Ming

Chapter 76
Unlike the messy silver coins, the only two boxes of gold bars in the warehouse are the same size, and the dark light flows, and they are neatly stacked there.

These two boxes of gold bars look familiar, and it seems that someone has seen this style in Hangzhou.At this time, a certain science madman appeared out of nowhere: "The gold-silver ratio in Daming is about 1:8, and at the same time Europe is 1:12, so the white-skinned people have been buying gold from the Ming Dynasty for many years. The gold in the book was also arbitraged."

Oh!Now everyone understands.

No one could tell how much the silver coins in the treasury were worth.Even after Cai Feiming found the Dutch's ledger, he still couldn't tell the exact number.Because there are some private savings of East India Company employees in this vault, these money will not be shown on the public account.

However, the total amount can still be estimated on the spot.After simply weighing a box of silver coins, Wang Liguo matched Cai Feiming's account book to the Dutch, and then announced in public that the precious metals in the warehouse, converted into Daming silver, must be more than 20 taels, only a lot more!
A burst of eager applause and whistles erupted from the silver vault.The robbers walked out of the official residence contentedly, stepped on the blood-soaked ground with smiles all over their faces, climbed the fence, and stood on the fort in the northeast corner. , overlooking the island of Taiwan.

The setting sun slanted westward, and the two banks of the Taijiang River, which had been noisy all day, gradually returned to silence.

Large and small lagoons and wetlands spread along the coast, and large groups of spoonbills, stork cranes, and sea pelicans walk in the lagoons.The setting sun split through the clouds, and the water surface was dyed a golden yellow.Over time, the sky changes color with the sunset: orange, pink, purple, the gradation sky reflects black and white waterfowl, the water surface of broken gold, the light blue bottom sea, and the mangroves on the shore; a beautiful picture The original picture scroll, the color and ink landscape is presented in front of the traveler.

"How charming the country is, how charming." Xia Xianze sighed with his palms in a daze at this moment.

"This lake belongs to my family, my family belongs to my family," Feng Jun licked his lips and said to himself greedily.

The rest of the people were unhappy. There was a man from the Northeast next to him shaking his legs and dragging a long voice: "Have you got the certificate? Why do I look like my home?"

Feng Jun came to his senses, turned his head and saw that several people were squinting at him, he quickly hid his true colors, and smiled awkwardly: "Gongtan, all Gongtan brothers will live in Sanya in the future, this place is full of public stalls. !"

"Well, that's about it"

This is the end of a historic day.

Accompanied by the stars, the invaders who had been tired all day fell asleep early, and they slept soundly.There were some people in the warehouse who stayed up all night, unfortunately, no one cared about them now.

On the two diagonal forts in the northeast and southwest, traversers wearing night vision goggles are patrolling the new territory. The development of science and technology has made all hostile behaviors at night into actively seeking death.

In the early morning, when the eastern sky gradually turned into a fish-mammed white, there was already a lot of noise in the Dayuan Merchant Hall.The terrifying work and rest system in the Middle Ages once made some people who first arrived in your country feel unbearable: there is no electricity at night, no Internet, even if you open your laptop, there is no Taobao to brush, not to mention that everyone's battery usage has a quota. It is only possible to occasionally check the information, and it is not enough to play a single-player game.

However, there are losses and gains. After living in the Ming Dynasty for a period of time, the benefits gradually manifested: no longer neurasthenia, no longer black and white, want to sleep at night, wake up at dawn, face ruddy, appetite greatly increased , in good spirits, one, three, five or seven times a night
The laborers are the first to enter the working state: they work at sunrise, and if they do not work, they will have nothing to eat.In the early morning, a group of people came to the pier first, and the quality of the old-fashioned pier built by the Dutch was still good.Two sand boats had passed through the waterway yesterday evening and were docked on the pier. The corpse of the tattered sampan was thrown on the beach beside it.

The workers opened the door of the dog's eye, and a few people went down to hand over some unloaded goods that had not been unloaded yesterday.The goods were thrown on the ship's board on the spot, and then two 1.2 stainless steel cauldrons with a diameter of 304 meters were shouted and carried off the ship.

In the open space in the middle of the business hall, a stove has been set up, and both stoves are built with a black-yellow square stone the size of a human head.The laborers skillfully set up pots, boiled water, and poured the washed rice into the pots. One of the large pots was thrown into some venison meat and salt from the Dutch warehouse, and the other was thrown into salted fish and boats. Reserve dried vegetables.

By the time some of the people who crossed the road leisurely smoked their early cigarettes and went out, the hot venison porridge was already cooked.After the gentlemen finished eating, the two cauldrons could not rest, and the salted fish rice had to be cooked for several more rounds. Hundreds of people, including Hong Mao, were all full. Who would work if they were not full?
All the daily necessities left by the Dutch, including clothes, quilts, sheets, pots and pans, will be disinfected by special personnel today.Most of them will be boiled in boiling water for 30 minutes, and some items that are not resistant to high temperature will be soaked in 3% bleaching powder for the same 30 minutes.These items and the beds in the barracks will be distributed to the workers from Hangzhou. As for their original owners, ahem. Is it bad to live?
While the workers are still waiting for the meal, the old men who have been worrying about everyone have gathered on the fort where they watched the scene yesterday, and they have begun to worry about the Japanese on the other side of the Taijiang River!
The idea of ​​​​starting to fight the other side early in the morning seems a little anxious, but the reality is: there is no water.

Dayuan Island is strictly a sandbar isolated in the sea.The water well drilled by the Dutch in the business hall was tested by the logistics staff yesterday, and it is brackish water.Like Hangzhou, the salt content of the well water here fluctuates and can only be used for rinsing.

The Dutch were not besieged, so naturally they would not drink salt water. They usually used small boats to go to the upper and middle reaches of the Xingang River on the other side to pull water.And the Dutch also attach great importance to water sources: the walls of the business hall are made of clay, and the building is made of wood. Only the water cellar is made of stone.The top priority right now is to replenish the water source, which also involves the small boats that ran away yesterday. The boats were all parked on the other side of the Taijiang River, and a small pier was built there.

Liu Zhe was using a telescope to observe the other side.It can be clearly seen from the lens: along a small road, where the wharf extends 500 meters inland, there is a bamboo and wood wall in Zizhai. There is no flag on the wall, but a figure is shaking.

"It seems that the Japanese stockade didn't run away." Liu Zhe put away his binoculars, turned his head and said to Xia Xianze, who was standing beside him.

"Why is it so far from the shore, is it because of the tide?" CEO Xia was also observing with a telescope at this time.
