While Ruan Shengpeng was still wondering what it was, Xiao Hai had already cleverly moved one of the boxes down. When he opened it, he was almost blinded by the sight of gold.
There are at least 50 boxes here. Are all 50 boxes filled with gold? Ruan Shengpeng stopped Xiao Hai from looking at the boxes any further: "Let's look for other exits. These boxes are so big, they couldn't have come down from above!"
Each box, whether standing upright or lying sideways, is larger than the opening where they came down from, meaning the boxes weren't brought down from above. They couldn't have been made from wood here, could they?!
So the dozens of people continued banging on the wall, but after searching everywhere they couldn't find an exit. Just when they thought they were really going to have to get bags to put the gold in, someone suddenly stepped on something.
They heard a rumbling sound, then a door opened and light streamed in. It turned out that it was already daylight, and they had no idea how long they had been there!
Next, we had to call everyone down. The military vehicle arrived, and by the time we brought the people and their boxes back to the military area, it was already noon.
All the boxes were placed in Ruan Shengpeng's room, and the person was locked up in a special place. Ruan Shengpeng didn't dare to delay and immediately called his superiors to report the situation!
Finally, I want to emphasize: "There were quite a few chests, and to save time, I only opened one chest, which was full of gold. I don't know what's in the other chests yet!"
Old Master He remained silent for a long while: "I'll have Jun Nanzhu go and take a look at the box. You'll be in charge of the interrogation of the others. Don't let anyone else get involved!"
Ruan Shengpeng had just finished his lunch break after hanging up the phone when Jun Nanzhu arrived. Ruan Shengpeng didn't even stand up: "You're pretty fast, you've already done a round down there?"
Jun Nanzhu no longer has a buzz cut; his hair is a bit longer, and he wears glasses. With his current clerical job, he looks quite refined and cultured.
This is in stark contrast to a rough and tough guy like Ruan Shengpeng!
Jun Nanzhu sat down and pointed to the boxes: "Are these the boxes?"
Ruan Shengpeng nodded. His office was very large, but unfortunately, the boxes were large and numerous, taking up most of his space. If they weren't stackable, he wouldn't have any room to step!
Jun Nanzhu opened one of the boxes and found it was gold. He took out a piece of gold and saw that it weighed about a pound. The whole box looked like it contained hundreds of pieces!
Jun Nanzhu exclaimed in surprise: "So many? Judging from their quality, they must not have been recently mined. I wonder where they came from!"
Ruan Shengpeng hadn't really looked at it much then, and he didn't want to investigate now: "So you're just going to move it directly?"
Jun Nanzhu laughed: "Commander Ruan, don't you want a share?"
Ruan Shengpeng looked up: "I don't care, do whatever you think is best!"
Jun Nanzhu laughed: "It seems that Commander Ruan has become much more generous since having a daughter who can make money!"
Ruan Shengpeng's facial features softened: "Of course, our military region isn't as short of money as it used to be, but when it comes to money, the more the better!"
"Send someone in to open the chest and see if it's all gold!"
Ruan Shengpeng shook his head: "No need to look. I saw the soldiers moving it. It was quite heavy even for two people to carry. It's the same weight, so they should all be the same!"
If each box contains 100 jin of gold, then there are at least 50 boxes, which is 5,000 jin of gold. Converted into money, this would really make the national treasury much more prosperous!
Jun Nanzhu was also aware of the country's overall revenue and expenditure situation. Although it was much better than before, the country was still spending more than it earned, especially due to insufficient gold reserves.
Now that this batch of gold has been added, the country has a lot more confidence!
Jun Nanzhu cut to the chase: "Commander Ruan, what do you want?"
"Equip my soldiers with a new batch of superior weapons. Give them all the new guns that Xiao Gengwu researched!"
Jun Nanzhu joked, "Why don't you buy some parts for your son-in-law and have him make it for you? Wouldn't that be cheaper? Hasn't he been on vacation lately?"
Ruan Shengpeng: "Is this considered using official business for personal purposes?"
Jun Nanzhu didn't understand the meaning of "using public affairs for private purposes" at first. It meant that the guns were a matter for the military region and belonged to public affairs, while Xiao Gengwu was one of their own and belonged to private use.
Jun Nanzhu raised an eyebrow: "You can think that way if you want. Anyway, it's impossible for you to replace all your guns with the new ones. Sending you the parts and handling it yourself is more likely!"
Ruan Shengpeng lowered his head and thought for a while: "I'll call and ask if he's free!"
When Ruan Shengpeng's call was answered, it was surprisingly Xiao Pudding's voice. Ruan Shengpeng couldn't help but ask in a slightly affected tone, "Xiao Pudding, is your dad home?"
When Little Pudding heard Grandpa's voice, he got excited: "Grandpa, I miss you! Where are you? Why aren't you back for dinner?"
Ruan Shengpeng's heart melted: "Grandpa has something to do. He'll see if he can go back tonight to have dinner with our little Pudding. Is your dad home?"
Little Pudding glanced at her father sitting next to her and pouted, "Grandpa, why do you keep asking Dad if he doesn't like me anymore?"
"Of course Grandpa loves our little Pudding. Can you ask Daddy to answer the phone?" Ruan Shengpeng still spoke with a high-pitched voice, which gave Jun Nanzhu goosebumps!
He thought of his father-in-law, who always spoke to the little devil in the family in the same gentle way. Thinking of this, Jun Nanzhu's heart softened.
But before he could think for more than a few seconds, Ruan Shengpeng interrupted him with a harsh tone: "Why don't you answer the phone when you're at home? You're willing to let such a young child do chores!"
Xiao Gengwu: "..." He could say that if he answered the phone, Little Pudding would cry in front of him!
"Have you returned to the military region? Did things go smoothly?" Ruan Shengpeng must have informed Yao Yanxin before going out to work last night, but only Xiao Gengwu knew what he was going to do.
"Things are going well. I wanted to exchange the military region's weapons and equipment, but Nanzhu said that if I were to exchange everything, they could only provide spare parts. Do you have time to have someone assemble them recently?"
Xiao Gengwu thought about his plan: "When you have time, just give me a few more people, find some who are quick and agile!"
Ruan Shengpeng was delighted to hear that Xiao Gengwu was free: "Great, I'll tell you the details when we get back!"
Then the call ended. Xiao Gengwu was still a bit confused when he heard the busy tone, so he chuckled and hung up. Yao Tongjia came out and asked, "Dad called?"
"Hmm, do you need my help with a few things? Shall we go out now?"
Yao Tongjia straightened her clothes: "Let's go out now, taking our little pudding out to play. We won't be back for dinner tonight, we're going to the Wu family's for a free meal!"
