The first sixty-seventh chapter of the cannon rings gold ten thousand taels
Chapter 167: A cannon fires a thousand taels of gold
After the banquet was over, it was already midnight. The businessmen, celebrities, landlords and rich peasants who had agreed with An Yi on the next meeting time politely and satisfactorily gathered An Yi and his entourage downstairs, watching the amiable nephew of the God of Wealth leave.
Full of excitement and anticipation.
After An Yi, whose face was red from drinking, and several of his brothers disappeared from the street, a group of old guys sat in their sedans and returned full of hope.
Among them, the only one who is disappointed is probably the beautiful madam from Xiaoyao Building. An Yi can drink wine with his arms around him, but he will never have sex with a young lady, no matter how pure and innocent the two girls accompanying him look.
Touching is not good either. Although Hu Zi and Gu Lao Er are powerful and powerful, they both stick to their own principles and would rather find a village woman than a prostitute. The sophisticated veteran ruffian Huang Yingwu and the local snake Chao Guoqing are itchy.
, but when he saw the three bosses turning around and leaving, he had no choice but to suppress the burning desire in his chest and abdomen and go back with them.
After walking into the Yamen, An Yi and others first went to the east courtyard to visit the more than 200 injured brothers lying there. After listening to the doctor's report, they knew that everyone's injuries had been effectively controlled, and most of them only needed to lie down for a few days.
Once the wound heals, I can return to training with the team, and I feel relieved.
The three of them returned to the east wing of the central courtyard and saw that Yin Jinan was still awake, sitting at the Eight Immortals table in An Yi's front hall, writing and drawing happily.
After sitting down, Huzi crossed his legs, took out a cigarette, threw one to An Yi and Gu Laoer, took out a match and lit it, then looked at Yin Jinan who was busy, and asked curiously: "Jinan, look
You bared your teeth and smiled, what made you so happy? Did you meet a girl who made your heart beat in Nanchang County? Also, why are you busy doing this in the middle of the night? "
"Go, go, do you think I'm that kind of person?" Yin Jinan finished scolding him with a smile, put down his pen and asked in a low voice: "Huzi, guess what, those twelve heavy boxes you asked the brothers to quietly move back
How much money is there in total?”
"Oh! You didn't mention it to me and I forgot about it. I was so busy when I was stationed here. Let me tell you, how much money did you calculate?"
When Huzi heard that he was interested, he put down his legs and leaned on the edge of the table excitedly. An Yi and Gu Laoer immediately stopped talking, and they all looked at Yin Jinan attentively.
Yin Jinan held up the notebook and announced in a low voice with a smile on his face: "You can't believe it, four boxes of oceans totaling 60,000 yuan, one box of jewelry equivalent to about 150,000 yuan, seven large boxes of gold bars, each box is exactly 160 kilograms, the total
Seventeen thousand nine hundred and twenty taels..."
“Crash—bang—”
An Yi didn't think anything at first, but when he heard it, he was so frightened that he even threw his chair to the ground. Gu Laoer and Huzi quickly stepped forward to help him up. Yin Jinan laughed loudly and lowered his voice again:
"After dinner today, Shi Lejun and Lao Chang did the math until half an hour ago. They took out each box of gold bars and stacked them separately. They weighed them one by one to get the total. Based on the current market price of 40 yuan per two gold bars,
The converted price of the ocean is 716,800 oceans. Adding the other five boxes of 210,000 oceans in cash, the total is 926,800 oceans! This does not include the cleaning by the brothers.
What about the tens of thousands of oceans and a large amount of supplies seized during the battlefield, haha! Beard, it’s really yours. You made great contributions to us by firing those rounds of artillery at Junshan Lake to force back those dozens of ships!”
The cigarette from Hu Hu's mouth had long since fallen off. He opened his eyes wide for a while before murmuring: "Uncle Japan... If we could force all the ships back, what a huge amount of money it would be..."
Yin Jinan laughed again, turned to An Yi, who had his mouth wide open, and said with emotion: "Brother, I finally believe what you said. When we first set off from Guangzhou and passed through Shaoguan, you said that Huang Shaohong's two divisions from Guangxi
One is stationed in Wuzhou, an important town on the Xijiang River, and the other occupies half of Shaoguan and three counties in northwest Guangdong. It intercepts at least 400,000 yuan in taxes from the National Government every month, not counting the transit tax on opium and tobacco. At that time, I said that there was such a huge number.
Huh? I’ve always had doubts in my mind.
Now I believe it. Even the Zhang Huizan Division of the Second Army where Zhang Tianyi belongs can receive 180,000 yuan in taxes every month from the three counties and two tungsten mining areas it occupied. The Guangxi clique occupies the west and north of Guangdong.
Is it possible to not make a fortune at the choke points of water and land?
Take the matter at hand as an example. The enemy's divisions such as Deng Ruzhuo have occupied the wealthy Nanchang and seven or eight counties in central Jiangxi for so long. Is it possible that they do not have a monthly tax income of millions? Take the seizure of Huzi this time.
Judging from the results, I estimate that both the Second Army and the Third Army can obtain more than one million yuan in seizures.
Let me see, maybe the Fourth Regiment of our division who did not pursue the fleeing enemy would gain more, because they occupied Xingzi County, a long-standing commercial port at the mouth of the Ganjiang River. The battle report came in the evening and said that Senior Brother Li Xianzhou in the first phase led dozens of men.
Without firing a shot, he captured more than 700 enemies, seized more than 600 long and short guns and a batch of military supplies. He was personally commended by the principal and was immediately promoted to deputy colonel."
An Yi suddenly realized: "I understand. It turns out that the more than 700 prisoners mentioned in the battle report are not important. 'A batch of military resources' is the key to Lao Li's promotion! Hehe, it seems that Lao Li is honest and honest."
All the 'batch of military supplies' have been handed over, otherwise it would be impossible to be directly promoted from deputy battalion commander to deputy regiment, and the principal personally commended it. It is estimated that this 'batch of military supplies' is by no means a small amount, otherwise the fifth regiment, sixth regiment and
Our regiment captured nearly 20,000 enemies and seized tens of thousands of guns. Why weren't we promoted?
Haha... I finally understand it now. It turns out there is such an old saying that 'a cannon fires a thousand taels of gold'. I have never been able to figure out what's going on, but now I know it!
We will do this in the future, and we will have to set up a special elite force to do this. Every time we fight, we must keep an eye on the enemy's pockets. Based on the current practice of all armies, which regiment does not carry a few weapons with them?
Wan Xian Yang? The teams of the major warlords are even more corrupt. Not only do they have a large amount of looted oceans, gold and jewelry, but they also almost all have a certain amount of opium and smoke with their armies. As long as we keep a close eye on them and fight well, all these things will be gone.
It’s ours!”
"His grandma! If I had known this, I wouldn't have been a bandit for so many years. The income I get from climbing over walls and blocking roads all year round is not as much as the fraction captured in a regular battle!" Gu
The second child was deeply touched and looked regretful, which immediately made the brothers laugh.
Huzi thought for a while and asked: "Xiaoyi, what do you think should be done with this money? You can't just take it with you wherever you go, right?"
An Yi nodded: "Don't worry, it will be taken care of soon. During this period, the whole army is resting and recuperating. All the ministries are digesting the prisoners and expanding the army. No one can move out. The regiments of our second division are full of new recruits. There are no new soldiers."
We won't be able to move at all for twenty or thirty days. We have plenty of time.
Brother Cai told me that a large amount of new equipment is coming soon. Tomorrow I will go to the city to ask Brother Yu from the Munitions Department and try to get a few radio stations, otherwise it will be very inconvenient. Another one, it is estimated that Nanchang will be there in a few days.
The commercial terminal outside Desheng Gate of the city will soon reopen, and banks in various countries will also reopen. At that time, we will deposit the money in installments into the old accounts of HSBC and Standard Chartered, as well as the grain reselling account given to me by Deputy Director Jiang.
60,000 dividends. All the money added up to our secret account is more than 1.5 million yuan. This does not include the regular monthly income from Guangzhou and the dividends given to us by A Biao from selling arms and opium.
, with these millions of dollars, our "Revitalization Plan" should be launched in advance, time waits for no one!"
"What should we do with the more than 50,000 yuan that the brothers from each company seized this time?" Yin Jinan thought for a while and asked.
An Yi thought carefully for a while and then replied: "It's better to put it into the provident fund account you are responsible for first."
Yin Jinan nodded: "In this way, the provident fund is nearly 200,000. Shen Jianping reported to me in the evening and said that all the seized firearms will be cleared tomorrow. It is estimated that 1,500 6.5-caliber Japanese guns can be cleared, and four
There are about a hundred 7.62-caliber Mogan guns. These guns are all different from the ones we use. Let’s see if they can be exchanged with friendly forces? There are only about 700 German-made weapons seized this time, of which more than 200 are
It's still a short gun. If it weren't for the twenty light machine guns we were assigned and the twenty-five that were hidden by the beard, we really wouldn't know where to get the weapons to supplement them. Now there are suddenly more than 2,900 brothers and guns.
It’s not enough!”
"We don't need to worry too much about this."
An Yi smiled slightly: "Think about it, everyone, we were notified today that we will go to the division headquarters for a meeting tomorrow. Although it is nominally to attend the principal's entrance ceremony, I estimate that this trip is very likely to convey the instructions for the expansion of each department during the meeting. Our group
It has just been expanded and upgraded from the model camp, and it is unlikely that there will be another expansion this time.
Huzi, Jinan and I will go to Nanchang City for a meeting tomorrow. You can take care of it at home and let Laoqu, Huang Yingwu and a dozen instructors from the security company help you to drive away those more than a thousand people who are full of bad habits and stubbornness.
After the prisoners were captured, eight of the seventeen officers who mastered communications, engineers and artillery skills were assigned to each battalion to serve as company commanders, and then a battalion of 600 men was selected from among the more than 2,900 surrendered prisoners.
The top ones were immediately assigned to the regiment's machine gun company, mortar company, and artillery company. The remaining 2,300 people and the nine lieutenants were divided into two temporary regiments, which were managed and trained by the teaching team.
Brother Gao Zhihua unfortunately died in battle. One of his reinforced regiments has been awarded the designation of an independent division by the principal. Tomorrow I estimate that the principal will summon me alone. It is very likely that he will transfer people from us to enrich the independent division into a full-strength division.
, and quickly transferred division commanders from other places, turning this division into a direct division of our army, so we couldn't retain people.
It's up to me to figure out a way to do this, and try my best to let the principal confirm that our supplementary regiment is an independent regiment, so as to get rid of the embarrassment of being able to make wedding clothes for others and export soldiers at any time. Moreover, in this way, we can receive monthly
The fixed salary of 3,500 officers and soldiers also has an advantage in equipment rationing. We will try to handle all these things within five days, and then start rigorous training."
The three Huzis agreed, and Yin Jinan asked in a low voice: "Brother, when are you going to take action on Shen Jianping, Tao Xun and Zhang Shuguang's studies abroad?"
An Yi replied without hesitation: "It will be done within five days. The sooner the three of them and the nine people from the Hanyang factory go out, the better. I plan to let them study in Germany for five years and learn their true skills."
After we came back, it was estimated that within five years our brothers had become a different person.
In the past few years, as long as we have the opportunity, we will send several groups of people with good cultural background and trustworthiness to study in European and American countries, especially in smelting, mineral exploration and mining, and mechanical equipment design and manufacturing. We must strengthen talent training in this regard. We cannot save money in this regard.
We will send out at least 100 people within five years. As long as ten of them become talents, it will bring us a thousandfold benefit.
Alas, our country's industrial foundation is too weak. We can't go out and broaden our horizons! I don't know how to tell you about many things. I have always used any means to make money, and I don't know how to explain it, but I can
I covered my conscience and said, not a single cent of the money I got from greed will be used for myself, but for every brother, and it can even be said that it will be used for the entire country and nation. You will see this in the future.
, including the investment in the dinner held by the old Nanchang gentry today, is a link in the ambitious goal of revitalizing national industry and benefiting one country. Therefore, I can't do it if I am not greedy. Where can I get the capital if I am not greedy? What's more, I am greedy.
It has not harmed the interests of the working people, so I will continue to be greedy!"
"Brother, stop talking. I understand your thoughts. I didn't understand it before, but gradually I understand. Your goal is my goal, which is more real than any doctrine or ideal. Don't worry.
Well, the younger brother is still saying the same thing, I will follow my elder brother to the end in this life!" Yin Jinan said firmly.
Huzi touched his chin: "Xiao Yi, just say a word to me."
It was the first time that Gu Laoer was so deeply exposed to An Yi's ideals and lofty ambitions. He was so excited that he didn't know what to do. He took two puffs of cigarette, threw away the cigarette butt and said viciously:
"The boss can tell me to rob the bank even if he wants me to do so!"
An Yi and the others laughed loudly after hearing this, making Gu Laoer even feel embarrassed.
An Yi shook his head and said meaningfully: "Hutou, you are destined to be a general in this life. Only military life is the most suitable for you, so don't worry about your bandit career anymore. Your contribution on the battlefield in the future will be more important."
It's more effective than you in robbing ten banks. As for the money, it's still what I said just now: a cannon fires a thousand taels of gold!"
Gu Laoer laughed loudly, and with too much energy, he grabbed the whip on the table and went to patrol the camp.
The three of them, An Yi, continued to sit around and discuss in low voices the problems and solutions they faced one by one. It was not until 4:30 in the morning that they each went back to their rooms to rest for a while and prepare for the arrival of a new day.
