Chapter 455: 【Pirates Treasure Harvest】

   There is an old saying in Huaxia. You won't die if you don't die, Captain Spencer is really bold. The Spanish President dared to rob the gifts given to the Spanish King. Isn't this a slap in the face of the Spanish Armada, which dominated the world at that time.

  The two sides have formed an endless situation. No wonder Captain Spencer would rather be hanged on the gallows than tell the location of the treasure. It is better to be dead or to leave the location of the treasure to your descendants. It is impossible to say when you will find the treasure and your descendants may become rich and become a high-ranking person, instead of living as a pirate who licks blood.

   In addition, what made Yang Yong very emotional is the Spanish Empire that opened the era of great voyages. Hundreds of years ago, it could be said to be the invincible hand that swept the entire world. Unfortunately, the Spanish Empire in the New World discovered the golden treasures that were plundered. It was used in the extravagant life of the nobles, but not in the country's military power. The Spanish Armada, which was once the roost, was finally formed because the ships were old and the weapons were lagging behind a small group of pirates. The British Empire fleet was wiped out in one fell swoop.

   The great situation was turned upside down all of a sudden, from world hegemony to second-rate countries in Europe. It seems that a life of luxury and corruption can turn the invincible powerhouse that has dominated the sea for hundreds of years and discovered the New World into a drug addict. It is pathetic and deplorable to lose the wealth accumulated over the centuries by the entire empire.

  What a pity! This treasure map fell into the hands of Yang Yong after hundreds of years, and Yang Yong also has a supernatural power. The see-through eye function can accurately dig out these treasures, which is why the fisherman benefits the Yang family. After figuring out the past and present of the twelve pure gold cannons, Yang Yong began to organize people to count the gold coins that the pirates robbed.

  There are all kinds of gold coins. The most important and most abundant gold coins are Spanish gold coins and Portuguese gold coins. The most unexpected thing for Yang Yong was the discovery of official silver from the late Ming Dynasty in the treasure buried by the pirates. It's just that the amount of these official silver is too small, only ten ingots, all of which are large silver ingots of 50 taels.

   Among them, the number of Spanish gold coins has reached more than 16,000 gold coins, and the total number of gold coins of other countries should reach 50,000. These 50,000 gold coins are also a considerable amount of wealth. You must know that Spanish gold coins and Portuguese gold coins have been a collection category since ancient times. And each piece of gold coins is expensive, and with these 50,000 gold coins alone, a large-scale gold coin museum can be opened.

   In this way, the income is much more cost-effective than selling these gold coins. After all, one is a one-shot deal and can never be returned. One is to use these gold coins to open a museum and sell tickets to make money. Even after 100 years, the gold coins collected by the museum still belong to the private property of the Yang family. It is a chicken that can lay golden eggs, and Yang Yong is reluctant to sell these gold coins.

   Although Yang Yong is not a financial expert and knows that it is too much, the market is saturated. Now a Spanish gold coin is worth 1,000 US dollars, so Yang Yong sold a lot of them to the market, and the advantage of being rare is shattered. The price can drop from 1,000 US dollars to 800 US dollars, and then to 50 US dollars.

   It will definitely be Yang Yong who will suffer at that time, so Yang Yong decided that there are more than 50,000 gold coins in total, and all the staff of the Yang family together do not exceed 300. Take out a fraction of more than 50,000 gold coins, which is more than 1,500 gold coins, and distribute them as benefits to employees of your family. The number of gold coins that each employee can receive is about five, if the market price of these gold coins is calculated. Yang Yong went out to sea to find the treasure of pirates once, and the amount of bonuses distributed to each employee at one time exceeded 15,000 US dollars in gold coins alone. He is really a generous boss.

   After sorting out the gold coins and revealing the news that they intend to use the gold coins to distribute benefits, all the employees started cheering loudly and hugging each other. This is a huge windfall, shouting that the boss's enthusiasm for work has been unprecedentedly improved. After the coins are sorted, the most scattered number is the box of gold and silver jewelry.

  The amount of gold and silver jewelry is too large, there are all kinds of things big and small. Most of them are some household utensils and gold and silver jewelry, of course, most of them are gold and silver. There are also many inlaid on pure gold, various precious gems and pearls, this is the real gold and silver jewelry, worthy of the name of gold and silver jewelry.

  Any normal person should understand that a pirate running rampant in the Caribbean Sea robs, survives, kills and sets fire. Then, many of the owners of these jewelry and jewelry died under the butcher knives of these pirates, and these gold and silver jewelry always felt chilly. It makes people uncomfortable as if they are haunted by ghosts. Even if they are uncomfortable, they should sort out these assorted gold and silver jewelry, and then register them, so that they can come up with a plan for dealing with these gold and silver jewelry.

   Yang Yong is surrounded by the backbone of the work, and the work content of sorting things has basically formed an instinct. So everyone worked together dozens of people, and began to sort out these gold and silver jewelry very quickly, and all things were sorted by type. For example, the life category includes tableware made of pure gold, table knives and forks, plates and pure gold candlesticks.

  The sorting of jewelry includes various gold and silver jewelry necklaces, earrings, rings, headgear, combat weapons, classification, including various swords studded with gems. There was also a very novel weapon at that time, the musket. The chartered muskets were made of pure gold studded with precious stones. These muskets were not rifled and belonged to the most primitive types of thermal weapons. The role used for decoration is mostly used in actual combat.

   In addition to these, there are also some jewelry boxes, household utensils, and Yang Yong even saw gold teeth and glasses. It is conceivable what kind of miserable state the owners of these pure gold golden teeth were in at the time. They must have pulled out the golden teeth after they died. Thinking about it, it is too cruel. These pirates are so cold-blooded and greedy for money, that they don't even spare the golden teeth of the dead. No wonder they suffered such a catastrophe and none of the crew members survived. That is the real retribution.

   The number of these gold and silver jewels is too large, and the individuals are not very large. The time-consuming to organize is one of the biggest categories of pirate treasures. It took more than three hours to complete the sorting and registering. One of the categories with the largest number of these gold and silver jewelry is gemstone rings.

   After all, wearing a gemstone ring is a custom passed down in ancient Europe from ancient times to the present, so that you can see whether it is a king or a commoner. Noble or knightly men wear gemstone rings, or rings made of pure gold, which are engraved with the symbols of their respective family crests.

  So there are many types of rings, there are more than 3,000 men and women, and then there are all kinds of gold jewelry worn by women. Of course, most of these jewelry are rough in workmanship and look like things worn by civilians. After all, gold jewelry with good workmanship is rare.

   It belongs to the wearing items of the lady class, and then there are a large number of life including tableware, and all the gold jewelry together add up to more than 60,000 pieces. These 60,000 pieces of gold jewelry are not a small number, they can fully support a jewelry exhibition museum, and they are also a chicken that lays golden eggs.
