Chapter 1169: Gloomy Land (Plus 1)
A simple and effective way to inspect it, although it is still necessary to weigh it when trading with unmarked silver bars, it is better than using European silver coins that even the most experienced traders can dazzle.
And those silver coins are too small, long ago there was no silver coins in the heyday of ancient Rome, which generally had a volume of about four grams, so small that one was only more than one gram, and one would be counted incorrectly and lost if he was not careful.
At least hundreds of silver coins are in circulation, and this is still the number of silver coins, not including the different silver content and weight of "the same silver coin" in various periods.
A big business counts...
It's going to drive people crazy!
Although there was a pope and a Holy Roman Empire in medieval Europe, since the collapse of the mighty Roman Empire and the "dark ages", there has not been a strong power that can control the continent.
The use of silver bars was a great step forward in European commerce in the Middle World.
Yesterday Zhang Nan arrived, the worker began to clean up the stone slab above the original collapse position in the basement, directly used the tower crane to remove the broken stone slab from above, and then hoisted a new thick stone slab to cover the hole above.
When Zhang Nan and his group arrived at the place, they saw three huge stone slabs covering the ruins, and a foreman was holding a walkie-talkie, loudly lifting in the county dialect.
Charlize Theron couldn't help but say when she saw it: "This anti-theft work... I don't have to say it!"
Regardless of whether the thief is inside or outside, he will probably cry when he looks at those big stone slabs.
"Anyway, the grave robbers have to shake their heads when they come. Zhang Nan said and motioned for everyone to get out of the way, and after a while, the 5-ton boulder was still a little panicked when it dangled around his head.
However, Zhang Nan thought about it, the crane master didn't play the big move at all, that is, the slate was lifted to a height of one meter and then moved a few meters, which was smooth and not swaying, and the technology was first-class. I probably thought that if the cleaning work below could not be completed in one day, I could quickly move these three "covers" back conveniently.
When the three giant stone slabs were removed, the entrance to the basement was exposed, and Zhang Nan looked down at the entrance of the passage, and the stone steps were also repaired.
You can see the general situation without a flashlight, and there is a skylight in the middle of the basement, so that the light can shine in.
However, the habit is indispensable, the head lamp helmet used in the construction site is buttoned on the head, and then the cotton labor protection gloves that are connected to the white marble stone and transported to Austria and China are indispensable in the construction site, and this goes down.
The wooden box that had decayed to the point of not being looked was at his feet, Zhang Nan pulled it a few times with a long cone with a handle, and there were hundreds of silver bars in the box, but there were no other precious metals.
It wasn't full, maybe there were other non-metallic items in the chest, but they had long since disappeared due to the effects of time.
Two steps further is where the original basement roof collapsed, and now there is a "skylight" overhead, and the walls on both sides are quite solid, and there is no danger of collapsing again.
There were some wooden boxes piled up on the ground, but they were too old, these wooden boxes were basically rotten, and they were mixed with the mud left by the muddy water that had penetrated for hundreds of years, and the whole thing was a mess, and there was even a layer of soft mud under the feet.
This is under the surface of the mountaintop, so there is no freezing in the basement, and it is very uncomfortable to step on it, and it is a bit of the awkward feeling of digging into the large brick chamber tomb that did not collapse when I robbed the tomb in the north in my previous life.
Zhang Nan just felt this feeling in his heart, and Charlie, who was also wearing a hard hat and came down to join in the fun, felt that it was so gloomy, and said cautiously in the back: "Brother, how do I feel like that here..."
Before I finished speaking, I didn't dare to say anything, and I was a little scared.
"Afraid of something, it's not like a tomb.
You don't have to be afraid even if it's a tomb, I'm here!"
Wang Bazhi's gas leak detection, countless tombs have been dug, and the excavator lifts the top is not counted, there are a lot of drills and planing, and I haven't seen any scenes!
Over here...
It's not even a small scene.
Could the underground treasure room be a tomb?
Possibly, who made this Europe, judging by those two silver bars, still the darkest, messy Middle Ages.
The customs of Europeans in the Middle Ages are really difficult to explain, and they are often tens or hundreds of miles away from a country, and the customs and habits are very complicated, and it is not uncommon to put the remains of ancestors under the castle.
Again...
What if it wasn't a castle at all, but a monastery or a church 700 years ago?
Zhang Nan thought of this possibility, and felt more and more that the process of buying land last time was too Westernized - when he bought the land, his agent was to check the local historical materials, this should be an abandoned castle a long time ago, not a place of religious institutions.
Zhang Nan didn't really want to build a castle on the site of a former religious site, if it really was, it could only be said that the entire site was completely dug up, and not even a single brick of the foundation could be left!
Dig it all up and transport it away, and it will be far away!
The hollowed-out place will be paved with cinnabar again, no matter what you do, crush you to death!
Fork fork, fork, all right!
Anyway, I don't dig wells or grow vegetables in or around the cinnabar floor, so I don't have to worry about the small amount of mercury pollution.
The more I thought about it, the more likely it was, so I straightened up and frowned.
"What's wrong?"
The girl can feel the strangeness, and after being with him for several years, some of Zhang Nan's habitual actions can be guessed without saying.
"It's nothing, it's just too dirty here, it's troublesome to tidy up, you have to find a careful, professional person. ”
Didn't tell the truth.
If you believe 100% of the official records in the history of this world, then you are a fool!
There are too many brick families in the past dynasties, and the Spring and Autumn brushwork is used in both China and the West, Zhang Nan turned to Lin Ming who was standing on the steps and said: "Inform the manor and let Jerry come here as soon as possible, bring field archaeological equipment, and clean up the remains here." ”
"Understood. ”
Lin Ming walked up to make a phone call.
Jerry Gooden, one of the experts on Zhang Nan's employment and buyout career, has a deep knowledge of Western medieval cultural relics and historical research.
said that it was to clean up the treasure, but in fact, Zhang Nan wanted him to take a good look at this place, and then check all kinds of relevant historical documents to find out whether this was an ordinary castle or a religious place before.
As for the treasure in this basement, it has nothing to do with what it was in the first place, but the medieval church was tax-collected, and some of them were richer than many kings!
Hehe...
In all dynasties, ancient and modern China and foreign countries, there is a small temple of poor monks, but if it was once a whole temple here, it can be built like a castle, then it can't be poor!
Ignoring the box containing the silver bars, he used the cone to scratch the soft mud on the inside to see if there was anything else to hide.
Why don't you use bamboo sticks?
Bamboo is hard to find, chopsticks are always available, right?
Medieval relics, not in the mansion, no porcelain, not afraid to change the cone pull.
