C3514 Silver Mountain on the Upper Beach (2/2)

old shopkeeper was so excited that his beard was flying, he patted Ling Mutai's shoulders and said, ”Open the chest, we will count at the door …” ”Let all the merchants of Jiangnan take a look with their own eyes …”

Mi Fei and Niu Jinfu both laughed out loud, ”old shopkeeper is right, we should open our eyes as well, let's see what the foreign devils' money is like!”

The workers had already lined up on the deck, carrying the huge wooden crates to the Bund to unload the goods.

One after another, the wooden boxes were opened. The white silver taels within were so dazzling that it made one's eyes go blurry!

Silver was not a measure of money in Europe, but it was used as a gold standard in Europe. Therefore, the silver transported back home was real industrial silver ingots.

Ten kilograms, twenty kilograms, and even fifty kilograms of large silver ingots. The numbers on the ingots and the words on the ingots were written in French.

No one would be able to understand it, but no one would deny the authenticity of this silver. In order to speed up the inventory count of the 320 tons of silver, Fan Lian had intentionally borrowed some accountants and storekeepers from the foreign bank.

”1765 Cast at the Paris Mint... This has been in stock for more than a hundred years! ”

”Look at this piece …” Inscriptions of the Spanish Mint in 1734... ”Oh my god, this thing is going to become a cultural relic soon!”

”The Imprint of the Silver Capital of Potosi …” This was directly forged from the South America's Potosi Silver Mine … ”

The staff were all crazy. They divided the silver ingots one by one and checked them out in front of everyone on the streets of Bund.

Reporters from all over Shanghai are coming, the camera shutter is pressed down again and again, tomorrow these photos will fly all over Jiangnan through the newspapers.

It was dead silent. At this point in time, the tens of thousands of citizens of Bund had already lost their ability to speak, they could only watch as the silver mountain piled up, higher and higher, higher and higher.

Five meters, ten meters … One, two, ten...

In the end, the silver boxes that were unloaded were not those delicate wood box s that could be used again. What came out from the hold of the ship were all wooden boxes that were temporarily bound to carry ordinary goods.

This kind of box could not be used repeatedly even if it was opened. The crowbar would pry apart a few pieces of wood and the silver ingot would fall to the ground.

”Silver Mountain!” It's really Silver Mountain! ” Someone from the crowd shouted loudly, and immediately, tens of thousands of people began to shout in unison, ”Silver Mountain!” The Head of the Guards was mighty! The Chinese are mighty! ”

The citizens of Great Qing were all going crazy. They finally understood that everything was real and that the legendary victory news from Europe was true.

The Führer did not lie to them, the Chinese did not lie to them, the luck of the country had really risen!

All of the foreign nationals present became silent. They looked at the emotional expressions on the faces of the tens of thousands of people in Jiangnan and felt a heavy sense of worry in their hearts. A strong sour taste circulated within their hearts.

Seeing that the atmosphere was close enough, Ling Mutai nodded to his subordinates. The third scissor boat started to unload its cultural relics, and this time the atmosphere became even more lively.

The huge oil painting ”Napoleon across the San Bernardo Pass in the Alps” unfolded at the scene. The Europeans all knew what was good for it, this Famous Painting was too famous in Europe!

”Look …” The Coronation of Napoleon I was also stolen by the Chinese... God! ”

One after another, the European Famous Painting were all stored in cow-hides rolled up in water. In order to prevent the tide, these cabins that were filled with oil paintings were filled with sacks of charcoal to soak up the moisture.

Ships via Mediterranean Sea, Indian Ocean, South China Sea... He didn't suffer any damage along the way!

The foreigners could not sit still any longer. Even the ambassadors from various countries came out to watch the European art treasures being counted and stored by the Chinese.
