C1640 Gold Transactions

Fajeev was not afraid of the 'T?pchin' in front of him at all, because the garrison from the far east had already gathered all the information of this greedy general and sent it to him.

Why did Guo Geli and Fu Mannuofu take away seven thousand ounces of gold previously? Not to pay the local people, but to bribe the general.

The name Hun Chun was definitely not included in the list of bribes the Sand Russians had. It was not only because the Hun Chun hated the Russian and had never established a relationship with them.

Furthermore, because the Hun Chun's defense zone was in the Black Dragon River, once the Cossack passed the Black Dragon River, she would no longer have to care about anyone's face. The strong Cossack would naturally destroy all the mantises that dared to obstruct him.

In front of Fajeev, all that T?pchin wanted to do was to squeeze more out of him, that was all. An official who sold his homeland for gold, that was a general who could even take his own citizens as goods to be exported, had no limits or principles.

It was normal for the officials of Qing Dynasty to make things difficult and raise the price. However, once they met a strong opponent, once the steel knife was placed on their neck, they would immediately turn into a dog wagging its tail.

The gold I'm giving you now, one day you will be able to recover it twice as quickly. Not only that, you will also have to take away your land and population.

Hun Chun obviously understood the opponent's threat, but he didn't want to reveal her true identity, so he pretended to be alarmed and said, "You … You dare to threaten me? Don't think that I am afraid of you. Your vanguard unit and the Bravehearts are already fighting bitterly! If you don't want to take this chance, then hurry up and scram. I don't believe that you won't care about the lives of those soldiers! "

Fajeev coldly snorted. "Be straightforward, how much do you want? I don't have time to waste with you! "

Hun Chun blinked her eyes and asked, "How much gold can you actually fork out? I don't have the time to waste on you! "

Fajeev pinched the little sheepskin's gloves so hard that it creaked. One could see the anger in his heart, facing these greedy Qing Dynasty officials, if it wasn't for them, he would have chopped off their heads.

"Alright then … I'll give you twenty thousand silver, this is the limit of our army's carrying gold! I won't give another point, and I don't have any more gold! "

"Twenty thousand gold is thirty-five thousand ounces of gold. This is already an astronomical amount! In Europe, you can buy two or three yachts, and four or five manors! "

"I don't care how you divide it, even if you, T?pchin, were to take all the gold for yourself, I don't care! I need thirty thousand people worth of food and a large number of horse material, the more the better … "

"I know you have your ways, you shameless officials are best at making fake accounts, these food horse material, you only need a year's time to level the accounts, report your losses! You all have done this quite a few times! "

"Hehehe …" Didn't you report the loss of gunpowder you sold to our garrison? "

Hun Chun was so angry that her eyelids twitched. This T?pchin must die, I absolutely cannot let him live, she actually dared to smuggle some gunpowder to Russian. She really wants money more than her life.

This was the truth. When Russia was exploring the Far East, the Siberian Railway had not been built at all, and the Russian industrial equipment was located in the western part of the empire.

The supplies that were sent from Moscow to the Haishenwai in the Far East were basically 10,000 gold roubles, and the freight costs were 20,000 gold roubles. This was not a joke, in an era where there was no railway traffic, the resources needed to traverse the mountains were shockingly large.

For example, in the Caucasus, manpower was needed to slowly carry the supplies. On a cold snowy night in the Northern Desert, perhaps a blizzard could engulf an entire transport team. Even the Russian Empire could not afford the loss.

The supplies that could be settled here definitely did not depend on Western Europe. If they could hunt, they would definitely not eat bread, and even the consumption of gunpowder could be smuggled from the Kingdom of Qing without relying on the military factories of the empire.

Fajeev knew that without the smuggling network set up by the greedy officials outside the borders of Qing Province, the garrison troops in the far east would not be able to hold on for much longer. All sorts of materials needed to be provided by the Qing people.

This situation was only resolved after the Siberian Railway was connected. It could be said that the corrupt officials and evil merchants of the Qing Dynasty had helped these Russian through their most difficult period.

Hun Chun stomped her feet and said fiercely, "Add another two thousand gold! I'll agree to your conditions! "

Fajeev was so angry that his lungs was about to explode. How can you be so greedy! All of this gold was exchanged with our brave Cossack! It's only twenty thousand gold, not one bit more! "

"Hehehe …" Tell me the truth! It was stolen! The Desert North Plains should have been emptied out by you guys … "Alright, let's do as you say. Have your soldiers bring the gold up, I need to count it personally …"

The northwest wind whizzed, and the torches on the ice made gurgling sounds as they blew. On the ice, the torches reflected light on the human figures, making them look like groups of little ghosts.

Twenty thousand gold, equivalent to thirty-five thousand ounces, a thousand kilograms, a ton!

This quality was enough to crush a block of ice, so the soldiers had to split up and transport it.

The north lakeshore soldiers split the gold into different bags and bags, then carried it on their back as if they were thieves and walked towards the center of the river in the dark, while Southern Bank sent many accountants and soldiers, waiting to be counted.

Right at the heart of the Black Dragon River, a trade was in progress.

Bags after bags of gold were dispersed, the torches shone with a golden light, all the shopkeepers and accountants in Shizheng were invited out, then the torches started to count the gold.

If you didn't look but didn't know, you would be shocked when you saw it. What gold is this, this is the evidence of murder where ghosts are haunting you. Gold hairpins, gold collars, gold cups, gold trays, all kinds of gold pieces.

There were also jade, onyx and various precious stones, as well as a few gold and silver inlaid crafts.

What was even more terrifying was that there were still gold teeth stained with blood, and even a few fingers with gold rings on them. At that time, the account that was being counted almost vomited.

At a glance, one could tell that these were fingers that had been cut off from a person's hand. This group of robbers might have been too efficient in robbing the gold. They were too lazy to cut off their fingers with a single slash, throwing the gold into the pile along with their flesh and blood.

The accountant wanted to pull out the finger, but an official of the CIA shook her head, "Put it back, this gold will become evidence against us in the future! "Keep it …"

Hun Chun smiled and nodded. The soldiers behind him started to carry the gold and retreat towards Southern Bank.
