Chapter 565: Distribution of Treasures
Soon, the gold and silver treasures piled up in the treasure house of the lonely mountain were divided into two halves in public.
Half of them were divided into 17 points, with Bahrain taking 13 for the Lone Mountain Dwarven Expedition, and the remaining 4 for Bilbo, Hammer, Maple and finally for the leader of the Refugee Army, the future King of the Valley.
Don't look at it as only half and one-seventeenth, this amount is also very large.
Bard roughly estimated that he would have to send at least three wagons to bring the wealth back to Riverdale.
In this way, there is hope for the rebuilding of Riverdale, not only before winter, but also for the construction of a very strong and strong capital.
Bud couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart.
"I actually got so many ......" Xu Feng looked at the gold coins all over the ground, and was suddenly a little dumbfounded.
He didn't have to take it away, after all, he had a crystal cage that could hold the stuff of an entire plane, but the problem was that these gold coins were only useful in Middle-earth, and they were useless in any other plane, or if the survivors went outside.
Rather than that...... It's better to make some investments.
Xu Feng turned to Iron Hammer and asked, "Do you still want these gold coins of yours?" ”
Hammer shrugged, "What's the use of this?" ”
Bilbo next to him said in astonishment: "You are mercenaries......
In this world, how can any mercenary think that gold coins are useless?
Hammer smiled: "You've known us for so long, don't you know that we're not ordinary mercenaries?" ”
Bilbo grinned, "That's just as well. ”
Xu Feng immediately said: "Bilbo, we have given you both of them." ”
Bilbo was shocked and said, "What are you kidding! This is your money, I must not ask for it, if I take your money, I must not let the whole world curse to death! ”
Xu Feng smiled and said, "Who said I gave it to you for nothing?" ”
Bilbo blinked and asked, "And what are you?" ”
Xu Feng smiled: "We want to invest in your Shire tobacco. ”
Bilbo was stunned, "Invest in Shire Tobacco? If you want to smoke, I'll just supply it to you, do you still need to invest? ”
Xu Feng said with a smile: "Your current charr tobacco is just a planting industry, and your processing is also very rough, but you just pick out the better tobacco and dry it in the sun." ”
Bilbo nodded and said, "That's right, we have plenty of sunlight in the Shire area, and the soil and moisture are suitable, so we can grow the perfect summer tobacco." ”
Xu Feng smiled: "I'll write you a recipe for deep processing and tell you how to make flue-cured tobacco rolls, so that your Shire tobacco can be mass-produced and mechanized." The charr tobacco you produce will take over all of Middle-earth. ”
Bilbo's eyes widened suddenly: "Can you still do this?" ”
Gandalf said excitedly, "Cigarettes? Listen to it! I raise my hands in favor of your cooperation and investment, and I am totally available to help if you need anything! ”
Xu Feng said with a smile: "I really need your help at that time, because of your current scientific and technological conditions, if you want to create a cigarette assembly line, it is more difficult to achieve without the help of magic, in addition, our investment is also relatively large, and if you transport it along the way, you will also need to help escort it." ”
Gandalf patted his chest and said, "It's all a small matter, wrap it up on me!" ”
Xu Feng smiled: "Okay, then let's settle it first, and after I have finished the distribution first, I will talk in detail about the investment in the construction of the cigarette factory." ”
"Okay."
Both Bilbo and Gandalf were ambitious.
After the first half of the treasure was distributed, Balin walked over and bowed to Xu Feng.
"Thank you, Your Excellency the Dragon Slayer, we Lonely Mountain Dwarves will remember your kindness forever."
Xu Feng hurriedly said: "Bahrain, we are old friends, you must not be so polite." ”
Next, it's time to distribute war pensions.
Xu Feng said in a deep voice: "In this war, we have a total of four forces participating in the war. ”
Dain Tiezu blinked in surprise: "Quartet? Aren't there only three troops? We are the Iron Foot, the elven army of King Thrandil, the refugee army of Lord Bard...... What else? Oh yes, and your mercenary team, Lord Dragon Slayer. ”
Xu Feng shook his head, "Our mercenary team can't be regarded as a force, we are hired, and the people who hire us can be regarded as a force." ”
"That's right!" Dain nodded heavily.
Xu Feng continued: "According to the contract, we are hired by the Lone Mountain Dwarven Expedition, so the fourth force is the Dwarf Expedition. The second half of the wealth is divided into 4 equal parts, one belongs to the Iron Foot Army, one belongs to the Elven Army, one belongs to the Refugee Army, and the last share is to be led by Bahrain. ”
Xu Feng said in a deep voice: "For this assignment, none of you should feel unconvinced, because, in this battle, the dwarf expedition team has suffered the heaviest losses!" Thorin and Chilifili are all heroically killed! And the Dwarven Expedition is the biggest contribution! If it weren't for Thorin who got lost at a critical time and led the dwarven expedition to rush out, the battle situation in Lonely Mountain might not have turned around so quickly, and the contributions made by our Snow Emperor mercenary team in this battle all belonged to the dwarven expeditionary team, they paid so much and contributed so much to share a quarter with you, and they were the ones who lost the most. ”
Everyone present nodded in convincing.
Bard hesitated, "Actually, we refugees don't want much, as long as we can survive the winter smoothly and rebuild River Valley Town, we can give away the second and a half treasures." ”
Xu Feng said lightly: "No need, this kind of thing is not something you can do alone, you are willing to let it out, and other refugees may not be willing to let it out." So it's better to follow the method I assigned, even if someone thinks it's unfair, it's my problem alone, and it has nothing to do with your leaders. ”
The leaders present all nodded gratefully to Xu Feng.
Soon, the second half of the wealth began to be distributed.
The most surprising thing about this distribution was Bard and the refugee army, they thought they could only get one-seventeenth, but they didn't expect to get a quarter more, so that their pensions for the war dead would be very generous.
And if you get more or less wealth, the ones you get the most are the dwarves of the lonely mountains such as Bahrain.
They shattered the dream of a resurgence of the Lonely Mountain Dynasty, but at the very least, they still got most of the Lonely Mountain treasures.
As for King Thranduil and Dain Ironfoot, they were also very satisfied with this distribution plan, after all, there were too many treasures in the treasury of the Lonely Mountain, even if it was only half and a quarter, it would be enough for them to spend hundreds of years.
