Chapter 1170: Complicated Europe (Plus 2)
The brightness of the headlamp is good, and after a few pulls, a little gold glittering reflection suddenly appeared in the mud.
Charitz Theron will feel a little gloomy, and she still wants to go to the top, but she is embarrassed to say when she sees Zhang Nan's serious search.
However, she still had sharp eyes, and when she saw this golden light, she immediately said, "It seems to be gold!"
It is customary to use your hands to order.
"See, don't worry. This mud is dirty, you want to get your nails dirty?"
Zhang Nan's eyes were quick, and he grabbed her hand, which made his labor protection gloves clean.
This is not the Huaxia tomb that I am familiar with, both of them came down after changing the new plastic high rain boots used in the construction site, and God knows if there is "poisonous gas" in these mud that grandpa said back then!
This "poisonous gas" does not refer to the toxic gas emitted by the air, in fact, it should be regarded as the harmful substances caused by the decay of some organic matter in the confined space, similar to the legendary corpse poison!
But it's not necessarily caused by the decomposition of human corpses, it can be found in some ordinary soil, which is a general concept.
The simplest analogy is: Zhang Nan's little nephew Xiang Jianan, if he hadn't moved out of the house on the side of Chenghuang Mountain a few years ago, when Zhang Nan was in the first and second grades of his nephew's primary school in his last life, Xiao Jiannan didn't play with the mud on the mountain.
As a result...
Before the age of ten, he was called a "boils professional", and he had boils several times on his head and neck because he played uncleanly, and every time he had to find the root of the hosta flower and mash it and apply it to the sores to pull out the poison.
The boils were dried, but the nephew still had a few small scars on his head after the boils healed, but fortunately they were not conspicuous.
Zhang Nan planted a large pot of hosta flowers at home in his previous life, and he ran too much on this construction site, and he was also worried about encountering this kind of "poisonous gas".
In case of redness, swelling, suppuration and inflammation on the body for this reason, you can use hosta flower root, a special medicine to clear heat and detoxify, which is more effective than any kind of Western medicine for external application.
Be even more careful in the dirty place that is dark and has not been exposed to the outside for a long time, this will make Zhang Nan not have a pot of hosta flowers at hand, and he doesn't want to touch the mud under his feet.
This will make Xiao Nizi stick out her tongue and retract her hand, take the cone handed over by Zhang Nan, and watch him take out a pair of tweezers from his pocket and a small plastic bag.
Squatted down, used tweezers to pick up the small piece that reflected the golden light and put it into a plastic bag, and then directly used tweezers to pull the silt, and found several round gold pieces of different sizes from inside.
"It's gold. ”
More and more gold coins appeared in the mud, and it didn't take long for a small half catty.
Get up and say, "Let's go up." ”
Charlie has been watching Zhang Nan's movements like a little star, she has seen a lot of gold, even the pharaoh's tomb, and the gold coin is trivial.
But every time I see Zhang Nan doing such serious work, I will be fascinated, probably because the double attraction of people and digging for treasures is combined, and it has nothing to do with the value of the item.
Hearing this, the girl was still under the gloomy ground, and quickly turned around and walked up.
As soon as he reached the ground, Lin Ming stepped forward and said, "Jerry will rush to Munich as soon as possible, and then take the train to come here, which is faster than we can drive to Germany to pick up people." ”
Zhang Nan nodded: Kitzbühel Railway Station is very close to here, even if you don't find a taxi after getting off the train, it will only take 20 minutes to walk to the entrance of the camp.
He handed the tweezers to Tom, the butler who was standing straight and waiting by the side in a short coat, and said, "Take it and wash it, it's a little dirty." ”
"Yes, sir. Does that bag need to be disposed of?"
It was a small pocket of gold coins with some mud on it.
"No, I'll do this myself. ”
As he spoke, Wang Fangming, who was waiting on the other side, said in dialect: "Cover this, and wait for the experts from the United States to arrive in a day or two." ”
"Okay, boss. ”
Zhang Nan thought in his mind, "Monastery, castle, church...", for the time being, he didn't have the heart to continue excavating, and the temperature below was a little higher than above, but he hated the eerie taste.
I don't care about digging holes underground, but dry soil is always a matter of the previous life, and I'm not a reptile, and the gloomy and damp near freezing point down here is something that a normal person wouldn't like.
By the way, reptiles won't like such a cold head.
It was windy above, so I got in the car and left the shed back down the mountain.
When you arrive at the place, you will pour a small bag of gold coins directly into the sink with the plug tightly plugged, and put on the rubber gloves that you used to wash clothes in winter and rinse them directly with tap water.
This is called wealthy, and I don't have to worry about the plug loosening the gold coins to flush down the sewer!
After washing off the mud on the gold coins, they were picked up and placed in a plastic bowl, and some medical alcohol was poured from the on-site infirmary.
Soak for a while, and now even if these gold coins are counted as a little insignificant "poison gas", they will be dead!
Pour out the alcohol, the gold coins don't need to be wiped dry, the remaining alcohol on them will soon evaporate, and you can take it back to your room.
Having poured down on the table covered with embroidered tablecloths to take stock of it, Charlie, who had been beside her, picked up a pitifully small gold coin on the table, about the size of a fingernail, and looked closer.
When I got closer, I could see clearly that on the top side was a bust of a man wearing a crown, and on the other side it seemed to be a seated statue with wings, and there were letters on both sides.
After recognizing it for a long time, I even took the magnifying glass that Zhang Nan put on the table to look at it, but I still didn't recognize what these words meant.
"Brother, what kind of text is this?"
There are a total of 65 large and small gold coins, and the combined weight is less than 200 grams, which will make Zhang Nan classify the same variety of gold coins.
Hearing this, he took the small gold coin that felt like it would fly away when the wind blew and looked at it.
"1 Teremises of the Roman Empire, with Greek on top. ”
When the girl heard this, she was puzzled.
"The Roman Empire used Latin, right?"
"This is the gold coin of the Eastern Roman Empire, the 10th century, the ancient Roman Empire in Latin has long since ended. ”
"Then you can say that the Eastern Roman Empire is not enough. ”
Zhang Nan smiled and said, "Learn to raise the bar with me."
If you were a Roman emperor with Constantinople as its capital, would you call your empire the Eastern Romans?"
Girls think about it, too, it's not authentic to add an "east", which emperor will block himself by himself!
"Ancient Rome used the Latin alphabet, the Roman Empire in Constantinople, well, the Eastern Roman Empire was Hellenistic, and the Greek alphabet was used.
I can't recognize the Greek subtitles, I didn't learn it well!"
When Chariz Theron heard this, she said coquettishly: "I'm South African, so I don't need to learn the Greek alphabet."
Europe is too complicated, such a big place, so many languages, dazzling, you can't learn it all in a lifetime.
It's still good in Huaxia, and you can go anywhere if you know Chinese characters. ”
"China is a country, of course, this Europe is too complicated. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Nan put the small gold coin on the table and said: "I have learned a lot in my free time, but I can only memorize the varieties of ancient European coins."
It's too much, it's too messy, and the words on it are even more messy!
A few years ago, a historian named Léfven-Stavrianos in the United States made a very interesting analogy, which is very appropriate and clear to compare the currency and words of Europe and China.
"What?"
He said that if a Chinese who lived in the Han Dynasty in the first century B.C. were resurrected in the eighth century A.D., he would feel very comfortable.
That person will find that the Tang Dynasty at that time is about the same as the Han Dynasty in the past, and will also notice that the two different dynasties have the same people, the same language, the same Confucian doctrine, the same ancestor worship, and the same imperial administration, and everything is similar anyway.
If it were a Roman in the first century B.C., resurrected in Europe in the 8th or 11th century A.D., he would have been caught blind!
He will find that the whole continent has changed: the language is changing, the clothes are changing, the beliefs are changing, and even the means of making a living are changing!"
Europe is too complicated, after a long and dark Middle Ages, without a system of inheritance, it has become complicated and bad, otherwise it would not have forced merchants to use pepper as payment for trade because of the economic and trade prosperity.
