Subconsciously licked his dry lips, Wufeng felt an indescribable excitement in his heart. He remembered a sentence he had heard when he was traveling in the Central Mainland: "You must judge the essence of a thing because of superficial phenomena. You often have to do some things before you know its true value." This sentence seems to be very suitable to describe his trip to India and De'an. He originally wanted to take advantage of the troubled waters, but he didn't expect that he would catch so many big fish. It was beyond his expectations. He was really a timely help for his plan later.

He tried hard to calm down and took the lead in coming back from his shock. After all, he was the head coach, and Wufeng's self-control ability was still much stronger. While a group of civil and military officials were still stunned, he was already estimating the value of other materials besides these gold. "Xiao Tang, what price can other goods be sold except this batch of gold?"

"Sir, the estimated value of twelve cars of silver is about 2 million imperial gold coins. The inspectors of our financial department have specially inspected it. The purity of this batch of silver ingots is quite high, which is much higher than that of the silver ingots produced in the empire, so the estimated price is slightly higher and can also be used for coin minting. One and a half car of finished gems are mainly rubies, emeralds and sky bluestones. The specific price is difficult to estimate due to the lack of professional appraisal personnel, but it is conservatively estimated that it should be more than five million imperial gold coins. One car of finished diamonds is probably about five million imperial gold coins. The other half car is gems and diamonds, and has not been carved and molded yet, so the price cannot be estimated. However, if the subordinates have carved or found a suitable buyer, their value will be

It is quite considerable; most antiques and jades belong to Indian and German ethnic handicrafts and artworks, and their value is incalculable. If you meet a suitable buyer, you may be able to sell 100,000 imperial gold coins in one piece. It is said that, especially in the Western Continent, these antiques are sought after by the upper nobles of various countries in the Western Continent. According to the individuals of the subordinates, this batch of antiques and jades should be worth at least 8 million imperial gold coins." Xiao Tang also tried his best to suppress his excitement, and based on the detailed introduction and analysis of the list in his hand, the final conclusion was, "This batch of materials should be initially estimated to exceed 20 million imperial gold coins. If you are not in a hurry to cash in, your value should be sold for more than 24 million imperial gold coins. This does not include the original batch."

Another huge impact came towards us. A group of people had not yet woken up from the 50 million gold waves, and were hit by the waves of jewelry and antiques again, and even forgot what opinions they should express to celebrate such earth-shaking joy. You just looked at me, I looked at you, muttering to yourself. I didn't know what I wanted to say or what I was going to say, but I could only wait for the coach's speech in a daze.

Taking a deep breath, Wufeng's mind was already calm at this time, and he nodded slightly and said, "What are the other cars of miscellaneous items?"

"Sir, those cars of miscellaneous items are mainly various maps about the geographical topography of the Senge Plain. They are more detailed and detailed. The geographical environment of the entire Senge Plain and several nearby areas has been accurately and objectively outlined, and the effect is quite good. There are also some related household registration information and historical materials, and the value of these things cannot be measured by money. I have instructed our surveying and mapping department to compare and correct the map we originally obtained, and we will also copy their household registration population information again.

The originals need to be returned to their existing government." Xiao Tang replied with a smile. Obviously, the gains in this regard also made him feel relieved. These things seem to be of much use at the moment, but once they need to be used, maybe you may not be able to exchange them for gold. He himself has a deep understanding of the use of these things, so when he arranged for the Administrative Office to go with the Western Expedition Army, he specifically explained the relevant personnel that he could not do anything else, but these things must be brought back.

Wufeng and Ling Tian were almost at the same time, and Wufeng sighed in his heart that Xiao Tang is worthy of being Xiao Tang. He was really not ambiguous when he handed over the government work to him. When almost everyone, including himself, focused on how to obtain wealth, he had already noticed things that seemed not important but may play an extremely important role in the future. For example, maps, classics and materials, I don’t know how many people, how much time and energy it took to draw the clearance to form a systematic thin book. Once you lose the opportunity, you may not have to pay a considerable price in the future, but even if you succeed, it may not be complete and detailed. At this point, Xiao Tang’s performance did show his foresight, and even Ling Tianfang had to admire this.

But at this moment, Wufeng was not good at saying anything more at this point. His appreciation eyes were enough to represent everything. He nodded slightly and said, "Good, very well done. As Lord Xiao said, the value of the wealth we obtained during this Western Expedition should be around 70 million imperial gold coins? I don't know how long it takes to become the actual funds we can use for such a large amount of wealth? Of course, the premise is that it is best not to let the central government grasp too much inside the situation, so that those censors will not be able to find trouble again and poke our backbone."

"This depends on the opinions of the adults. The handling of gold and silver is relatively convenient. If you want to be quick and convenient, you can exchange it through several large-scale bank houses. However, from the perspective of confidentiality, it is not advisable to exchange too much at a time, and you can only cash in batches. If you want to be affordable, my subordinates suggest that it is better to build a coin workshop, secretly recruit craftsmen, and smelter them by themselves. This will not only increase the value, but also lay the foundation for us to have similar needs in the future. However, this kind of business will delay time. My subordinates agree with this method. If there is no major change, this method is both safe and conducive to confidentiality."

Xiao Tang had already realized that this meeting was not just a simple report on the gains of the Western Expedition of Indian and De'an. Judging from the participants, the military personnel accounted for the vast majority. The only few government system officials, except for himself and Wang Liao, Rao was the Director of War Readiness, and Jin Ning was the Director of Intelligence, and they were inseparable from military affairs. Although Zhou Tinggui and Fielding were city guards and belonged to the government system, they both bear the heavy responsibility of the northwest and northern defense line. It was obvious that they had military purposes when attending the meeting. Although Xiao Tang himself was extremely reluctant to think about that aspect, the reality made him realize that it was unlikely to dispel the war spirit in the hearts of the governor, but he still involuntarily expressed the intention of dissuasion in his words.

Wufeng also understood the meaning of his Administrator's words, but he pretended to be unaware of it and continued to ask: "What is the channel for monetization of other things?"

He sighed in his heart. Xiao Tang knew that his persuasion could not change the decision of his boss, so he had to cheer up and said: "Other monetization methods such as gems, diamonds, jewelry and jade are more troublesome. Because the market has a certain limit on its acceptance capacity for a certain period of time, and we have such a large quantity, once it is launched into the market, it will fluctuate greatly, which is not very beneficial to us. Our subordinates suggest that we can sell it through various channels to various places such as the Western Continent and the Empire and the Kingdom of Milan, or invite some famous buyers and jewelry merchants from all over the mainland to come to Qingyang to see the goods. If you can sell it for a good price, you can save it temporarily, and wait for the opportunity. Anyway, we are not in a hurry to take action now."

"Well, this is a good idea. These things are left to the Finance Department to handle. Now many aspects require funds. I think the way to deal with gold and silver can be exchanged for part of the money house and silver, so I have to let those guys take advantage of it. The rest will be minted by Xiao Tang's words!" Wu Feng was unquestionable and decisive. The generals and officials in the hall gradually woke up from the huge wave of wealth shock just now, and began to think about the meaning of the coach's words, and took a compromise method for Xiao Tang's suggestions, which shows that the coach had a conclusion in his mind, that is, the places where money was urgently needed and things that were urgently needed to be solved.

"Everyone, please now ask Mr. Wang Liao to introduce the results of our negotiations with the Kamans on the issue of captive exchange." Ling Tian said concisely and brought everyone's attention back in one sentence.

"After appointed by Lord Li, Wang Liao went to Kaman to envoy Kaman. After several rounds of negotiations and approval from Lord Li, he had not completed the preliminary agreement with the Kamans." Wang Liao looked solemn and seemed particularly solemn: "Our side was captured by the Kamans in the Battle of Jiayuguan, and our side captured more than 23,000 enemy troops in the Battle of Jeroke. According to the agreement reached between our two sides, the soldiers of both sides exchanged in a one-to-one ratio, and the remaining 10,000 of our side

The five thousand people will be redeemed at the price of 150 gold coins per person, and a total of 2.25 million imperial gold coins are required. The exchange location is outside Jiayuguan. The exchange time is fifteen days, two thousand people are exchanged every ten days, and one thousand eight hundred people are exchanged every day in the next five days. In advance, the imperial gold coins are used as exchange currency. After emergency negotiations, the other party also agreed to the ransom we proposed directly using the physical gold as the gold. The agreed exchange time will start from September 10th."

"Well, Wang Liao, how is our people there?" Wufeng showed a satisfied look on his face and asked carefully, "Have you received unfair treatment? How is your physical condition?"
