In this way, Liu Hai ordered people to dig in the land for several days, and finally dug out all the treasures.
The bangs were right next to the construction site. A casual count revealed that the total amount of these items totaled about 20 to 30 million taels of silver.
Liu Hai now knows why the original batch of treasures from the Holy Treasury of Heaven disappeared without a trace.
After all, everything has been dug out, and all that's left is to deal with the aftermath.
These things are kept secret and must not be known to outsiders, otherwise the imperial court will never let it go.
So Liu Hai ordered someone to secretly send the taels of silver back to his private house one night.
At the same time, he ordered his soldiers to drag all the gangsters involved in the excavation to the beach and execute them. The bodies were also thrown into a cave along the coast.
After Liu Hai discovered these treasures, he had no intention of keeping the people who participated in the excavation alive.
Although Xiao Kun was a little distressed about the murder of his men, he did not resent Liu Hai at all. As a person controlled by a biochip, he only had Liu Hai's interests in mind and nothing else.
Besides, the imperial court received a report from the Shanghai magistrate and discovered the remnants of the Taiping Army in Shanghai, and they had been living in Shanghai peacefully for decades.
This immediately alerted the imperial court. The turmoil decades ago almost overturned the imperial court. Although it was said to have passed safely now, the rise of several warlords seriously weakened the imperial court's control over the world.
weaken.
So the people from the Military Aircraft Department wrote a memorial to the Empress Dowager Cixi. After reading it, Cixi became furious. It could be said that others were not very hostile to the Taiping Army.
But this Empress Dowager Cixi can almost be said to have a grudge against the Taiping Army for killing her father.
It turned out that the Empress Dowager Cixi's father was sent to the south to be an ordinary Taoist priest when Cixi first entered the palace. As a result, the Taiping Army riot happened in the south. His father, like other officials, immediately fled.
And convicted.
And this old man was also a bit coward, and he was scared to death in prison.
Therefore, Cixi's hatred for the Taiping Army can be said to be the revenge of killing her father.
Therefore, Cixi directly ordered that all the Taiping soldiers were executed this time and all their families were sent to Xinjiang.
After receiving the decree from Empress Dowager Cixi, Pei Zhixian of Shanghai dared to delay?
He immediately sent out his yamen officers to arrest all the young men nearby who had close contact with Mr. Sun Dashan. Even all of Mr. Sun Dashan's relatives, such as his wife's family, and the families of his son and daughter-in-law, were also arrested.
stand up.
After all, the Empress Dowager Cixi's decree was clear: she wanted to arrest the nine tribes, and according to the rules, these two tribes were on the list.
Then these people were quickly sent to Xinjiang together. It can be said that they suffered a lot along the way. When they arrived in Xinjiang, there were less than 100 people left in the original team of more than 300 people.
The one who benefited the most this time was Liu Hai. This time Liu Hai received more silver than the Qing Dynasty's treasury.
After Liu Hai settled the money he got, he returned to modern times with the drawings drawn by foreigners.
He first found someone from the Hyundai Design Bureau, and based on this drawing, he drew a design drawing of the shipyard using his current equipment.
Since people nowadays are technologically advanced, they naturally don't care about this trivial matter. They promised Liu Hai that the drawings would be delivered within a month.
After getting the reply from the design institute, Liu Hai felt relieved and went home for a brief reunion with Wang Fang.
Although Wang Fang was very dissatisfied with Liu Hai who often disappeared for a month, she knew that what Liu Hai did was probably related to the country, so she still supported Liu Hai on this matter.
Wang Fang has been desperately trying to maintain the shell company founded by Liu Hai in the past few months. Although the results are not good, she can barely maintain the company's operations.
Liu Hai stayed in modern times for a few more days, leaving some money for Wang Fang as a spare, and then hurriedly returned to the Qing Dynasty.
As soon as Liu Hai returned to his private residence, news came. It turned out that Empress Dowager Cixi had officially announced her return to power under Emperor Guangxu.
Liu Hai knew very well about this matter. In order to gain the trust of the Empress Dowager Cixi and maintain his rights, Emperor Guangxu began to collect money from all over the country and repair the Summer Palace so that the Empress Dowager Cixi could work honestly.
Stay.
But this Emperor Guangxu was so naive. How could a person give up power so easily after he had gained it?
On the surface, Empress Dowager Cixi seemed to have returned to power under Emperor Guangxu, but the ministers would report almost all major and minor matters to Empress Dowager Cixi. Without Empress Dowager Cixi's words, Emperor Guangxu could hardly mobilize any soldiers.
As for these things, Liu Hai didn't take them all to heart. His current affairs were all focused on the shipyard.
During this period, he went to the office every two days, just to urge the design bureau to complete the drawings for him as soon as possible.
After nearly a month of busy work, Hyundai finally completed all the drawings, and also conducted a three-dimensional model for Liu Hai, so that Liu Hai could intuitively see what the shipyard will look like after it is completed.
Liu Hai was very satisfied with this and commissioned the design bureau to produce models of two shipyards based on three-dimensional modeling.
After Liu Hai brought these things back to the Qing Dynasty, another problem faced him, that is, who should he find to build this shipyard.
With the technical capabilities of the Qing Dynasty people, there was naturally no way to accomplish this. This would have to be done by the great powers.
It can be said that Liu Hai has the closest relationship with the Americans now. After all, they have a business worth tens of millions of taels of silver every month.
The current panacea has been sold all over the world through the Rockefeller family in the United States and the Rothschild family in Europe.
At the beginning, Westerners still did not trust this kind of medicine from China, but as more and more terminally ill patients were treated by this kind of medicine, they became better and better.
In the eyes of Westerners, this panacea has been regarded as a panacea that can cure all diseases. Even ordinary families will pool their financial resources to save a bottle.
Because this medicine is really a panacea that can cure all diseases in this era, it has a good effect on almost all inflammations.
Even for tuberculosis, which is considered a terminal disease, some can achieve good therapeutic effects. Because of this, the sales of panacea in the West are increasing, and now demand exceeds supply.
With such a relationship, the Americans naturally became the first choice for Liu Hai to commission the shipyard.
But Liu Hai also considered that the current naval strength of the Americans is not strong, and the design capabilities are not the best in Europe.
The shipyard still had to look at the British side, so Liu Hai entrusted the head of the Rothschild family to send invitations to British construction companies.
Naturally, the British construction companies would not refuse this deal, and soon several construction companies were invited to Shanghai to inspect the terrain and make quotations for Liu Hai.
After shopping around, Liu Hai chose a construction company that had the most expensive price, but also had the longest history and the best reputation.
This time Liu Hai needs to pay a total of about 500,000 pounds in construction costs to the construction company. This amount of money can be used to build another ironclad ship.
But this money has to be spent. As long as there is a shipyard, with modern shipbuilding equipment and metal material formulas, Liu Hai can build the most advanced warships in the world today.
In addition to the shipyard, Liu Hai also needs to prepare some supporting factories, such as artillery manufacturing plants.
Although shipyards can build the hulls of warships, they cannot build cannons. For the manufacture of cannons, modern people have to do it.
After the iron ore and oil transactions were completed this month, Liu Hai immediately made invitations to the few factories in the world that have manufactured large-caliber artillery to purchase artillery manufacturing technology from the World War II era.
Among them, the American factory directly rejected him. Although this is artillery manufacturing technology from World War II, for many countries, it is also the top technology. To this day, there are still only a few countries that can manufacture large-caliber artillery.
This illustrates the difficulty of manufacturing large-caliber artillery.
As the younger brother of the United States, although Japan also has the technology and experience to manufacture large-caliber artillery, it does not dare to export this technology to China against the orders of the United States, so Japan does not need to think about it.
In the end, surprisingly, Britain agreed to Liu Hai's request to import artillery manufacturing technology, but the price was very high.
It turns out that after discussion, the British government felt that these World War II artillery technologies were no secret to China. As long as China wanted to manufacture them, they could successfully develop them very quickly.
In this case, why not sell this old technology and exchange it for a sum of money to compensate for military expenses.
Now the British economy is in a very severe decline, but they still have the afterglow of the past and have not completely declined, so the requirements for the navy are still very high.
The UK still has two aircraft carriers, but due to funding problems, these two aircraft carriers can only be used as a display.
This shows the shortage of British military spending.
So Liu Hai once again sent his all-powerful assistant Zhang Tao to negotiate with the British side as his representative.
Zhang Tao also wanted to laugh a little after receiving Liu Hai's words. Whether he was serving the country or Liu Hai, a capitalist, he couldn't even figure out.
Zhang Tao finally accepted Liu Hai's commission and went to London, England to negotiate with the other party.
Fortunately, the negotiation this time was not about any critical technology, so it went very smoothly. It only took a few days for the negotiation to come to fruition.
This time, the big British who got 10 points from Liu Hai packaged and sold to Liu Hai, including: 4 inches, 4.5 inches, 5 inches, 6 inches, 8 inches, 11 inches, 12 inches, 14 inches, 15 inches, etc. Artillery before World War II
All technologies.
With the technology of these artillery calibers, as long as Liu Hai does not build a battleship like the Iowa class or Japan's Yamato class, these artillery can do the job.
Now that the artillery technology is available, it is time to have an artillery foundry. Liu Hai does not trust the technology of the Qing Dynasty. In addition, even if he wants to buy it, the major powers will not sell him the manufacturing technology of large-caliber artillery.
and equipment.
So bangs have to find a way from the modern dimension.
