Chapter 612 Ten Thousand Taels of Gold and Silver (2)
Chapter 612: Ten Thousand Liangs of Gold and Silver (Part 2)
The largest wooden slip in the pile of wooden slips was opened. The moment it was opened, He Qing and Master Pan couldn't help being surprised. What was in the middle was actually gold ingots, all of them were gold ingots!
That's right, what is displayed in front of them at this moment is a golden gold ingot, gold that is guaranteed to be fake!
This scene is naturally eye-catching. Gold is not much more valuable than silver. According to the current market situation, a gold ingot of the same weight is infinitely more valuable than a silver dollar.
"Gold! It's all gold!" Upon seeing it, the archaeological team couldn't help but exclaimed.
Master Pan and Che Juan were also very excited, with faces filled with ecstasy. They had never seen or heard of so much gold in their archaeological careers.
After a long while, Master Pan and the others came to their senses from the shock and ecstasy. Master Pan's voice trembled slightly and he said excitedly: "Xiao He, these are all gold ingots! And they all look like five.
A 'heavy treasure' weighing more than ten taels!"
He Qing casually picked up a heavy gold ingot from the wooden slip, nodded solemnly and said: "Yes! There is an inscription on it, with the official seal of 'Chongzhen Yuanbao'. It can be seen that these gold ingots are also officially minted. Currency circulation
In history, silver was mostly silver and gold was scarce. Official gold like this is even rarer. Only people from famous families and high-ranking officials are qualified to hold it, right?"
"Yes." Master Pan nodded vigorously, "It's not easy for Zhang Xianzhong to rob so many gold ingots!"
He Qing smiled slightly and said: "He occupied many places during his uprising. It is not surprising that he plundered these gold ingots."
"That's true." Master Pan nodded in agreement. "It's just a bit unexpected. No one thought that he not only hid countless silver, but also hid so much gold. I'm afraid the gold ingots in this wooden slip alone would add up.
There are tens of thousands of taels, right?!"
He Qing replied: "Well, there should be."
There were so many gold ingots hidden in this wooden slip, which was a bit unexpected. He didn't think about it before coming in, and he didn't notice it when he was looking at the ingots. So when he opened the wooden slip, he saw a large number of gold ingots.
He was also particularly surprised when he received the gold ingot.
However, these gold ingots are still inferior to the giant gold coffin that I have already obtained. Since I have brought Master Pan and others to explore the treasure, I will not be greedy. Anyway, he has almost enough ancient gold in his collection.
Enough to use.
"These gold ingots are cast in a standardized manner and have exquisite inscriptions. They are not only currency, but also works of art. They are really rare!" He Qing made an appraisal after picking up the gold ingot and looking at it from side to side.
"Yes!" Master Pan nodded solemnly and said solemnly. "We have never found this kind of gold ingot, and few people have found it in the history of archeology, let alone finding so much at once.
.Xiao He, this big discovery will definitely shock the whole country!"
He Qing shook his head gently and smiled calmly: "I didn't expect such a big discovery. It was all a coincidence."
Master Pan said: "You are too humble. You have piercing eyes and amazing eyesight. It is inevitable to find these gold ingots because you have already seen it."
"Where is it?" He Qing said, "I really didn't expect this. It's quite a surprise to suddenly find these gold ingots."
Master Pan shook his head with a smile and said: "No matter what, you discovered it. Apart from its own value, these gold ingots also have great historical research value and are extremely precious! This time you discovered Zhang Xianzhong's treasure, and it became another treasure.
He is a great hero and has made great contributions to the national cultural relics and archaeological research cause!"
He couldn't help but praise He Qing, but He Qing just shook his head modestly and said it was nothing. The reason why he helped find this place was mainly due to luck.
"He Qing, are there any gold ingots in there?" Che Juan asked later.
He Qing nodded and replied: "There should be more. If my guess is correct, those huge wooden slips inside contain gold ingots or other gold."
"Those big wooden slips are filled with gold?!" Che Juan said in surprise.
"Yes, it's very possible!" He Qing nodded vigorously.
Che Juan said with a look of horror: "There are many wooden slips as big as one there. So, the amount of gold hidden in Zhang Xianzhong's treasure is astonishing!"
"Yes." He Qing said, "'Ten thousand taels of silver, ten thousand taels of gold,' Zhang Xianzhong's treasure is indeed well-deserved, and it is not fake! Master Pan, let's take a look at the other large wooden slips."
"Well, okay." Master Pan nodded and agreed without hesitation.
He Qing then picked out all the large wooden slips piled among the many wooden slips and opened them one by one. As expected, the contents were filled with golden ingots. What else could they be if they weren't gold ingots?
Finally, all those large wooden slips were opened, and a large number of gold ingots were obtained. Preliminary calculations showed that there were at least two to thirty thousand taels. Although not as many as silver ingots, the amount was still amazing.
"Xiao He, we have arrived at the hinterland of the treasure. There should be no gold and silver ingots in front of us, right?" Master Pan asked He Qingdao after all the gold ingots were opened and inspected.
He Qing nodded and said: "Well, there should be no more. They are all here, at least the main ones are here."
Judging from the "baoguang" he saw, there was indeed no other discovery.
"Well, it's already a lot." Master Pan said with a smile. He was very satisfied with what he had discovered so far. What else could he ask for?
"Teacher Pan, what should we do now?" Che Juan asked.
Master Pan did not answer her words, but turned to look at He Qing and asked, "Xiao He, what do you think?"
This treasure was first discovered by He Qing. Now no one except them knows about it. The decision-making power should belong to He Qing.
He Qing said: "Don't worry, let's go to the front to see if there are any other discoveries."
"Well, okay." Master Pan nodded and agreed without thinking.
After saying that, He Qing took Master Pan and He Qing and the others towards the other end of the corridor. They hadn't seen it yet and didn't know what was going on.
Although he couldn't see any spiritual light, He Qing still wanted to take a look out of curiosity. Maybe there would be any unexpected discoveries?
It didn't take long for them to reach the end. It turned out that this, like the front end, was also the exit of the treasure.
Along the way, nothing was found except for the skeletons of soldiers and some scattered gold, silver and copper coins.
But He Qing and the others were not disappointed. They had found so much gold and silver, and everyone was satisfied.
After reaching the end, He Qing and the others turned back to where they were, where the gold and silver were stored.
"Xiao He, there is no one else here except a few of us. You discovered this batch of gold and silver. If it weren't for you, we would not have made such a big discovery, so we should thank you very much." Master Pan suddenly became serious. He said in a loud voice, "Let's do this, you can take the silver as you like, and you can take half of the gold!"
