The Dictator of Uncle Nine's World

Chapter 127: Digging Begins

Each soldier costs fifty taels, a battalion has three hundred and sixty people, plus a guard company, more than one hundred and twenty people...

Officer, it wouldn't be too much to give me a little more!

In addition, in yesterday's conflict, 1,280 people were killed...

what?

You ask why there were so many casualties?

If I say yes, then yes it is, and the final right of interpretation is in my hands!

At the instruction of Marshal Cao, adjutant Wang Dahu showed a simple and honest smile and handed a small notebook to Minister Wu. In it was the silver that Marshal Cao had calculated that the Qing Dynasty should pay him!

Minister Wu looked at Wang Dahu's honest smile and really wanted to slap him in the face!

Blackmail, blatant blackmail!

One thousand two hundred and eighty...

The total amount is 1.28 million taels of silver!

Forget it. The court will reimburse this money anyway, so I... just forget it. The amount is too large. I... will just add 30% to it!

After returning to his tent, Minister Wu made a new list, patted it with satisfaction, and took it to find the young prince An Kuang!

As expected, the huge tent was filled with the roar of the little prince. Although he was very young, he grew up in an imperial family after all, so it was normal for him to become sensible early!

Although he usually looks harmless, when he gets angry, even Minister Wu is a little scared...

"Give it to him, give it to him, give it all to him!"

The young prince vented his anger and reluctantly agreed. At this point, if he didn't bring back the emperor's uncle's body...

It doesn’t matter whether it’s money or not, the court will reimburse it anyway!

The master and servant came up with the same idea, and this matter was unanimously agreed upon!

However, the young prince agreed, and Minister Wu was in trouble. What was the problem? He had no money!

With a bitter face, An Kuang looked at the young prince. His face was extremely dark. What was going on?

However, he also knew that Cao Kun was greedy for money, and his soldiers would not move unless they saw the money.

Helplessly, he took out an Imperial Bank draft from the John Bull Empire from his underwear, which contained a full 500,000 Imperial coins. It was enough to exchange it for silver!

He handed the promissory note to Minister Wu reluctantly. This was the money he used for self-defense, how could it be gone just like that?

The sense of security...is gone!

Young Prince An Kuang watched as Minister Wu took the bank draft and walked away happily, his heart was broken...

Minister Wu was delighted when he received the promissory note. He had never expected that the young prince would actually have such a trick up his sleeve!

This is perfect, it’s a good deal for me. I was just worrying about how to spend all the money I had made before, and now here comes the opportunity!

After returning to his tent, Minister Wu carefully hid the bank draft, then asked his personal guard to carry the silver in the tent to Wang Dahu for handover!

At this time, Cao Kun was in the tent next door, carefully looking at the newly acquired workshop. Just like the last time, the workshop was shiny black, large, and looked very heavy!

Opening the detailed page introduction, Marshal Cao expressed his feelings at the moment with a scream of "Nima", which was so exciting, but also helpless!

Universal oil production workshop!

Unified production of universal oil, ten tons per hour, and as the production increases, the quantity produced per hour will increase!

Will it be possible to produce more than 100 million tons of oil per hour in the future?

Think about that scene, eh~

I’m too busy, really too busy!

Moreover, it is a universal fuel that can be used on battleships, airplanes, tanks, rockets, and even spacecrafts. Isn’t that awesome?

but……

What makes Cao Kun helpless is that it seems that the only ships he needs fuel at the moment are those few ships, right?

Forget it, I'll save it for now. There will always be a day when I need it. At least I don't have to be like the ugly country in my previous life. Wherever there is oil, that's my home~~

He walked out of the tent and told Wang Dahu to guard it carefully and bring it back to the Daqingshan base when the time came!

Wang Dahu nodded and agreed. At the same time, he also brought good news to Cao Kun. That sissy Wu Hai had handed over the money!

There were twenty large wooden boxes, filled with silver, and also a piece of news!

This is the silver that Minister Wu took out from his own tent!

"Wait, where did Wu Hai get the silver? I didn't see him carrying any silver."

Cao Kun was a little stunned. Does this guy know magic or does he have storage space?

We have come all this way, and we haven't seen any big wooden boxes? Or twenty of them?

Speaking of this, Wang Dahu couldn't help but admire Minister Wu. He was indeed a high-ranking official of the Qing Dynasty. He was really good at playing tricks up his sleeves!

It's easy to say. Twenty large wooden boxes were hidden in the logistics supply convoy. After all, the logistics of everyone were taken care of by the Qing Dynasty's queue soldiers!

Who is so blind as to dare to say anything about Minister Wu's things?

Dark under the lamp!

Cao Kun was so heartbroken. So much money was concealed. What a huge loss!

No, I have to find an opportunity to get the money!

However, this is all later, let's just get to work first!

"Da Hu, notify the battalion commander to start working!"

"Yes!"

The first battalion received the order and began to send out soldiers, following the principle of ten people per squad, to search the entire wilderness!

The first thing to look for is the Crouching Tiger Stone. You should look for it whether you can find it or not!

"Here...I'm not looking for..."

"There are some here too... well, it's not..."

"Fuck... the corpse pit..."

A day passed and many bodies were found, but Antai's body was not found. This reminded Cao Kun of the battle!

At the beginning, the current Cao Kun had not yet come through. His original self followed Blind Cheng and led the charge towards An Tai's central army. Behind him were countless peasants who were oppressed by the Tatars and rose up in rebellion...

"Marshal, Marshal, how are you?"

Wang Dahu called Cao Kun back from his memories. Cao Kun shook his head. Although he had not experienced it personally, the danger of that battle still loomed in Cao Kun's mind!

"Nothing, just ask the brothers to work harder. When we find it, we will give you a reward!"

"Yes!"

Cao Kun's words were passed on verbatim, causing warm cheers from the soldiers!

The Marshal always keeps his word. If he says he will give rewards, he will definitely give rewards!

The soldiers were very motivated and searched for the body that might be Antaeus’s, day and night, even at night, with torches!

Unfortunately, the Crouching Tiger Stone was not found, in fact, no stone was found!

"No, then dig three feet into the ground..."

Finally, after the persuasion of Minister Wu, Cao Dashuai was finally persuaded, and the soldiers took their tools and began to dig aimlessly...

"Damn it, have we been fooled by the Tartars? We have nothing to show for it all day."

Soldier A held a torch and muttered to himself. If it weren't for the Marshal's order, he would have given up digging a hole here long ago!

Soldier B threw away the hoe in his hand, hung a cigarette, and started smoking it by the torch.

"Alright, this is the Marshal's order, stop mumbling, kid, hurry up, it's your turn!"

Soldier A could only pass the torch to Soldier B, spit twice on his palm, then raised his hoe and started to work, but he was still muttering,

"I can't even find the Crouching Tiger Rock!"

"Dang~~"

Soldier A was stunned. What is this? Did they dig up a stone?

“Found it, found it, found it!”

Loud cheers spread throughout the wilderness. With the good news, everyone could no longer sit still and rushed towards the direction where the sound came from!
