590: Chapter 590: This is the Work of Humans 590: Chapter 590: This is the Work of Humans He had managed to gather all the items in one breath, thinking that he wouldn’t need to move stuff himself for a while.
Returning to his own warehouse, he first put all the items inside.
There seed to be a lot of gold, so much that his own warehouse was nearly full, but in reality, it was because everything was neatly stacked.
If everything were simply spread out, it would actually not take up much space.
The floor of his warehouse couldn’t bear the weight and made the gold prone to sinking, but there was no issue here.
The floor was made of reinforced concrete and built with special cent that even a cannon couldn’t blast open.
After placing the items, Zhao Guang imdiately called Ye Zhi to have soone co over and move the stuff.
“So you’re done with the busy work?
Back and giving tasks already.
Speaking of which, have you made that dicine yet?”
“How could I?
Do you think I’m an immortal?” So many Rabbitfolk were testing the dicine, and they were collecting various redies all over the domain.
Finding sothing with specific effects was not so easy.
Many of the redies even had discrepancies or required special herbs from different regions.
It was very difficult to produce sothing in such a short ti; it all depended on luck.
“Alright, I’ll have soone co over,” said Ye Zhi as she started contacting other people.
Surprisingly, Guo Siyu was the first to arrive.
Zhao Guang was sowhat astonished since Guo Siyu always used to co with Sister Yanzi.
Seeing Zhao Guang, Guo Siyu could hardly contain her longing; it had been days since she last saw him.
Zhao Guang spread his arms to embrace her, and Guo Siyu took the opportunity to peck him on the lips, then quickly wiped her sleeve across, seemingly afraid of being seen.
“Don’t think of escaping.
Let hold you a bit longer.”
“Don’t, Sister Yanzi is going to be here soon, and it would not be good if she saw us.”
“What’s so bad about it?
Can she devour ?” Zhao Guang scoffed.
“She might not, but I’m not sure what your parents would do.” Thinking of his parents’ temperants, Zhao Guang reluctantly let her go.
Despite his success and fa, his parents were slow to change their minds.
The couple still clung to traditional beliefs, regardless of what rules were agreed on secretly.
If his parents got wind of this, he probably wouldn’t have peace for a while.
Better not to provoke them, considering the possible consequences.
After releasing Guo Siyu, the two of them chatted on the side.
Soon enough, the others began to arrive.
Seeing Qu Cheng leading people over, Zhao Guang flashed a smile.
“I’ve prepared a surprise for you this ti, co and see.”
Qu Cheng felt his heart pounding violently.
Whatever the surprise was, he hoped it wouldn’t scare him to death.
As the warehouse doors opened, Qu Cheng felt as if his heart disease was about to surface.
“Do you have heart disease?” Zhao Guang asked curiously, observing Qu Cheng pulling out his Heart-saving Pills.
“No, but I’m afraid I might develop it with this — how much is there?”
“Haven’t counted it.
Why don’t you have soone estimate it?”
The others who followed inside were also stunned to see so much.
They had thought there was sothing beneath the surface layer, but then they realized it was all gold.
After a rough estimate, Qu Cheng’s face turned pale.
“Everyone, stay here and watch it.
Don’t let anyone near.
I will report this imdiately.”
It was too much, the implications too significant; he couldn’t handle it alone.
Following Qu Cheng’s report, Zhao Guang quickly learned of the changes outside.
The city had triggered an air raid alarm as a drill.
The focus of the drill was their own county.
The local people were driven back; on the streets, soone loudly announced precautions.
Those unaware might really think this was a rehearsal for an impending war, it was that realistic.
anwhile, the roads in the area were completely blocked, with soldiers subtly appearing at the sides.
Anyone daring to show up here would be discouraged imdiately.
If they refused to leave, they would be expelled on the spot.
Many people murmured, wondering what had happened.
“What?
Gold, over a thousand tons?
You’re joking?”
Upon receiving this ssage, Elder Han quickly took out his Heart-saving Pills, fearing he would get a shock-induced ailnt.
No, he couldn’t handle this alone, he quickly called his old friends over.
The situation might require further reports, and perhaps top-level etings might follow.
“What’s wrong, why are you in such a hurry?
I’ve never seen you like this before.”
Elder Han hadn’t even acted like this during his war days, making this truly unusual.
“Shut up, listen to .
Zhao Guang just sent back a batch of gold.”
“It’s just gold, even though it’s a lot, but this isn’t the first ti.
Our plan is about to start, and with this batch of gold, the upcoming pressures will be much lighter.”
Elder Han hurriedly interjected, “Wait, let finish.
Qu Cheng just called , saying there’s at least a thousand tons of gold there.”
“What did you say, a thousand tons?
Are you sure?” Elder Ye imdiately stood up.
The entire country’s gold reserves were only slightly over two thousand tons, less than three thousand tons, and that was only because Zhao Guang had brought back too much gold last year.
Now, this was nearly half of the gold reserves.
“You’re not joking, no mistakes?” Elder ng also spoke up.
“How could I make a mistake about this, although I wish I had.”
It was too much, far exceeding the gold required for the plan.
Such an amount was not a surprise anymore but a shock; was this really sothing humans could hoard?
If all this gold were suddenly dumped into the market, it would disrupt the global gold market.
“Nobody else knows about this, right?” Elder Ye said nervously.
“The call was on an internal line, no one else knows, just us and the people with Qu Cheng.”
“That’s good, everyone stay here and don’t go anywhere.
Elder Han, co with , we need to et soone imdiately.
Stop looking like that; the more gold we have, the better.
There’s definitely no downside, and don’t forget we’re the ones holding this gold.”
Their expressions slightly brightened.
Yes, they had control of the goods.
Having such a powerful weapon in their grasp ant they were the ones to dictate its use.
It was ti to carefully plan its utility; properly utilized, it could greatly aid national developnt.
Projects that were previously hard to initiate could now be started.
The only problem was that the gold wasn’t free; pulling out such a large sum of money suddenly would definitely cause problems.
No, he would have to discuss this with Elder Ye and that lad.
