When Morka opened a secret room, the wealth in front of him immediately shocked everyone. Although he had known in advance that he was looking for treasure, he did not expect that there would be so much gold.
A 1.2-meter-tall elephant statue cast in gold, a piece of gold jewelry weighing a ton, a pile of gold coins minted during the East India Company period, and 18 Napoleon coins in the early 19th century, and several inlaid Diamond crown and countless jewellery.
For Morka, finding the treasure is only the first step. The treasure must be successfully taken out and safely returned to Bulgaria to complete the task!
Right now, for Morca, the most important issue is how to transport the treasures smoothly. Temple repairs can only be delayed for a short time. It will inevitably attract the attention of various players over time.
In the 19th century, it was not an excavation organized by the later Indian government. There are various types of machinery that can be used. Now they can only rely on manpower to carry this huge wealth!
For the sake of confidentiality, Morka and others have not been able to increase manpower and can only carry it at night!
Morka looked at the statue, gritted his teeth, and said fiercely, "Cut the big guys inside into small pieces and ship them in batches!"
Although he knew that if these accessories were shipped back intact, the highest value would be preserved, but now they can't care so much!
Anyway, it's all made of gold, even if it is damaged, it will not affect Ferdinand's printing of banknotes!
Fortunately, they are not religious fanatics, and have no internal pressure on the destruction of idols.
Oh, even believers, they also believe in God, they do n't even know the God of the third brother!
Time passed quickly, and the sky was about to light. Regardless of the fact that the statue had not been divided, Morka said coldly, "Stop! The sky is about to light. The movement here is too big, and it is easy to be found. Seal the secret room first Get up, we'll pick it up at night! "
Now Morka's pressure is much greater, and now is the most critical time. If the news is leaked at this moment, the loss will be great, or they will be evaporated from the world!
Facing the huge amount of wealth, who knows whether the officials of the colony will take the risk and directly kill them?
...
Time passed day by day, and in the evening of the third day, the first secret room was finally emptied. Now Morka and others have set their sights on another secret room. They are not Indians, but they don't care whether the cultural relics will be damaged or not, and they have no idea for future generations.
It's the same old way, the violence is broken, and it is transported at night. It lasted for more than a week, and Morka and other talents evacuated the treasure smoothly!
At this time, they also attracted the attention of the local colonial officials, but the tiger skin of the United Mining Company was large enough to make local officials jeopardize and not dare to act lightly!
Morka knows that he is only concerned with the small officials in Kerala. He has no courage to offend the back office of the United Mining Company. It can be settled. If it attracts the attention of the Indian colonial executives, it will be troublesome!
After a closer look at the temple, Morka found that the valuables in it were not a few. When he had a clever idea, he thought of a way.
"Now that the treasure has been taken out, we are divided into two paths, one dark and one bright!
The wealth that Padmanabbaswamy Temple has exposed is not a small figure. These idols and ornaments are worth at least tens of thousands of pounds!
Let's pick a few jewelry from the treasure and put it in it, so that they will probably not doubt it!
Goods worth more than 100,000 pounds also deserve our careful shot!
A group on the bright side plundered the goods and put them directly on the account of the United Mining Company.
A group in the secret, the operation to secretly transport the treasure, and then mixed in the fleet to India trade! "
Of course, looting the temple would certainly cause local hatred, but Morka didn't care. Colonial officials must also take advantage of it, and if they take advantage of it, they will naturally do things!
Presumably for the wealth of more than one hundred thousand pounds, it was enough for Edward to stand on the stage. For him, it was a telegram problem anyway!
By the way, the Royal Navy can also **** all the way. This year's sea is not very flat. There are so many pirates. The security from the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean is also a problem!
Treasure transportation in the secret went smoothly, and Indians dare not mess with white people this year. After the packing was completed, considering the lack of manpower, Morka even asked the locals to work hard. Thanks to the hard work of the A-Three, Morka and others finally brought the treasure to the port smoothly.
But the road on the bright side was very bad. The local Indians knew that he had looted the Padmanabbaswamy Temple. The road was full of troubles. !!
Oh, a little exaggerated. In the face of the Indians in the cold weapon era, the guards even mounted machine guns, which was simply massacre.
It didn't take long to arrive at the port smoothly, then load the ship and set sail. The latter thing is naturally the responsibility of the colonial officials for the aftermath. Anyone who has died is the lowest pariah, which is worthless in India!
From discovering the treasure to packing it away. All of this was completed in just ten days.
Except for the guards that attracted attention on the bright side, someone was injured by a sneak attack, others were under the control of Morca!
Then something very strange happened. Both the real and fake treasures were in the same fleet, under the protection of the Royal Navy, and set off for the Mediterranean.
...
Ferdinand has always adhered to doing dramas and making full sets, so although the treasure has been successfully removed, the prospecting team continues to look for gold mines in India.
India has always been one of the main producers of gold. Even if it needs future gold reserves, it also ranks among the top ten in the world. With so many prospecting experts, how can we not lie down for nothing?
...
Ferdinand received the first telegram from Morka only after the smooth shipment.
"all the best!"
No way, for the sake of safety, in accordance with the practice of this era, everyone's telegrams are very economical, especially the overseas telegraph!
You can use the telegram to talk about the home. That is what big nobles and big capitalists can afford to play. Ordinary businessmen dare not play like this!
At this moment, Morka's identity changed again. This time he played a Bulgarian businessman and went to India for trade. He just caught up with the fleet and was incidentally taken.
After receiving the telegram, Ferdinand's heart did not let go, after all, the treasure of the temple was too great!
He clearly remembers that the secret value of the secret room treasures opened by future media is US $ 11 billion. If another secret room is added, the number will become even larger!
As long as this batch of gold is obtained, the gold reserves of the Bulgarian currency will be available in the next two decades!
The bonus of issuing currency alone is enough for the Bulgarian government to taste the current debt!
However, this dividend is long-term, and Lev is not British pound. If you put so much into the market at one time, wait for inflation!
...
As time passed by, Ferdinand waited anxiously.
"Sir, Mr. Morka called and said that the fleet had just arrived at the port of Parga." A maid came in and said
"Really?" Ferdinand asked habitually.
Without waiting for the maid to answer, he snatched the manuscript and looked at it. After repeated confirmations, Ferdinand's hanging heart was relaxed.
"Pass me the order, order the garrison in the Epirus region, send a regiment of troops to the port of Parga to pick up the goods, and then directly transport me to Sofia!" Ferdinand ordered directly
Now that he has entered Bulgarian territory, Ferdinand would not hesitate to influence him if he did not send troops directly to pick up the goods. Next, the people at the customs will find out, and when the treasure is exposed, it will be bad!
Careful people can easily judge the origin of this batch of gold. When the British Empire comes to the door, Ferdinand will be able to bear it!
Now, Ferdinand has decided in recent years that it is better not to expose these treasures, so as not to cause disputes. Even if he wanted to take it out, he would have to wait until his future was gone!
Of course, gold doesn't matter. As long as it is smelted into gold bars, who knows where these things come from? Could anyone in Ferdinand's status be able to question the source of his property?
As for other antique relics, they will be placed in his storeroom as collectibles, and will be sold to Asanhao for future generations!
Ferdinand thought to himself: This is the return of the owner!
However, due to the habit of Indians who love gold, maybe these gold products will change from gold bars to jewelry again in the future and return to their hometown!
After Ferdinand's order, under the **** of the army, the treasures arrived in Sofia in less than five days.
At this moment, Ferdinand was in a good mood to personally meet with the heroes.
Of course, Ferdinand would not admit that he was curious, mainly to see the treasure. It was just his custom to buy people's hearts when he met these heroes!
Looking at a pile of hills made of gold, the shock to people is huge! At this moment, a sense of pride sprang up, and at this moment Ferdinand felt as if he was the protagonist, and was favored by the power of the world!
However, he soon came to his senses, all this came too illusory. If he were really the Son of the Plane, perhaps he would not be Ferdinand, but Edward VII, or Nicholas II, or William II!
In contrast, if you want to hang around the world every day, there are still more opportunities for the three above! Bulgaria still forget it, such a great proposition for the hegemony of the world really has little to do with them!
Mr. Karl Palace came to me with a smile and said cheerfully: "Your Majesty, the value of the treasure has been roughly estimated, this is the list!"
Ferdinand smiled, took the list, and looked carefully. The treasures were bigger than he estimated!
Gold alone amounts to more than 500 tons, and other various treasures are also huge, including several crowns. As for which dynasty of India left, this Ferdinand is not sure.
The total value of all the goods is nearly 100 million pounds! This figure may not be enough for the British Empire to spend in the Boer War, but for Ferdinand, aside from real estate, he has doubled his personal assets!
If you think about it, later generations only took out the treasure in the back room, the innermost one, but it didn't open. Under normal circumstances, everyone is putting the most valuable things in the safest place!
Unfortunately, the large idols inside have been dismembered, otherwise the value will be even higher. Of course, Ferdinand didn't mean to blame the slightest guilt. On the contrary, he admired Morka's approach very much. Only the thing he got was his own!
If you ca n't get it, what's the use of it, even if it's valuable again? Ferdinand is not an Indian, why should he keep cultural relics for them?
Ferdinand thought about it, and said in a good mood: "Collect antiques first and put them in my storeroom. As for these gold? Good jewelry is also put in the storeroom. All damaged ones will be smelted into gold bars. Store it in the vault first! "
"Yes!" Prime Minister Carl Gong answered solemnly.
After dealing with the treasure, Ferdinand is considering the reward of the meritorious one.
Is it better to give cash directly? Or should they be rewarded for their land? Or add them to the ranks, or promote them?
The first thing that was ruled out was Jin Jue. This matter, after all, was Ferdinand's private matter, which could not be mentioned on the bright side.
And in order to ensure the gold content of the knighthood, Ferdinand controlled the knighthood very strictly. Without enough credit, he could not get the knighthood!
The credit of Morka and others is enough, but unfortunately it cannot be said on the bright side. Of course, there are titles, but they are not hereditary, but only virtual titles. This kind of title can still be freely sealed by Ferdinand!
But this kind of illustrious deserves no credit for them. After thinking about it, Ferdinand finally decided to promote the ten most contributors to Lord and then the land banknotes can be freely chosen!
Of course, these rewards are all taken from Ferdinand's personal assets, so it has nothing to do with the Bulgarian government. Just need to inform the government and tell them that Bulgaria 's aristocracy has grown again.
Of course, this kind of lord is not recognized in the mainstream society, but it doesn't matter. This is Bulgaria. Everyone is an outbreak household.
A total of more than 200 people participated in the operation, which can be said to be Ferdinand's most loyal men! Of course, their net worth lives in Ferdinand's hands!
According to the amount of credit, everyone who participated in the operation received a minimum of 10,000 levs, a maximum of 200,000 levs, or exchanged for an equal amount of land!
From the beginning of the action to the end of the hero reward. Ferdinand has invested nearly 10 million levs (about 400,000 pounds) in total, and has to say that wanting to dig a treasure is also a large investment project!
After calculating it, Ferdinand can only sigh "The third brother is really good!"
