Chapter 104: Treasure

Qin Feng's expression was still a little complicated.

watched Chen Suying for a few seconds, and his heart was furious.

In the end, Qin Feng sighed and said, "Hey, you won." ”

Qin Feng's voice was a little helpless.

Actually, to say that Chen Suying really cheated him, he is not.

It's just that the records in this document box are too different from what Chen Suying said before.

Now Qin Feng clearly knows what the so-called treasure digging is this time.

It is not wrong that the parchment scroll treasure map is said to be of the Chen family.

But this treasure was not buried by the ancestors of the Chen family.

It was obtained by the ancestors of the Chen family by chance.

Those who have paid attention to history know that there are countless legends about treasures in Chinese history.

Among them, the most famous is a treasure of Wang Mang.

And what is recorded in the parchment scroll of the Chen family is Wang Mang's treasure.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang was in power, implemented currency reform, nationalized gold, and privately stored gold, which was illegal.

During the Western Han Dynasty, the use of gold was very common and the amount was huge, such as Wang Mang hired a princess as a gift of 30,000 gold, and the emperor rewarded him with tens of thousands of gold.

When Wang Mang was killed, there were still 300,000 pieces of gold, but the whereabouts of this batch of gold are unknown when Wang Mang was killed.

And what the Chen family has in their parchment rolls is this.

Qin Feng knew that at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the country's statistical population reached a peak of 59.59 million in the first two years of the Yuan Dynasty (2 AD), accounting for a quarter of the world's population, and the country's finances were quite solid.

At that time, gold weighed one catty, about 248 grams, and was worth 10,000 copper coins, while the average property of a medium-sized family was 100,000 yuan, that is, ten catties of gold, which is equivalent to 750,000 yuan now at 350 yuan for 1 gram of gold.

When Wang Mang became regent, according to the "Hanshu Food and Goods Chronicle", "The wealth of hundreds of officials in the treasury is all over the world, and there is a time for Mang." ”

Wang Mang announced the implementation of the gold state-owned policy, issued a ban, from the lieges and below not allowed to hide gold privately, must be sent to the treasury in exchange for equivalent goods, but the promise of equivalent exchange was not fulfilled, a pound of gold can only be exchanged for two "one knife flat five thousand" copper wrong knife.

In just a few years, hundreds of tons of gold accumulated by the Chinese people for thousands of years were forcibly plundered to Wang Mang's palace for storage.

Private property was not protected by law, the channel for the accumulation of private wealth was blocked, social turmoil arose, and the rebels from all walks of life approached Chang'an.

At this time, in the Weiyang Palace, there were 60 pieces of gold stored in 10,000 catties, and there were several scargeons in each of the other four places, totaling about 700,000 catties, equivalent to 170 tons of gold.

A few days later, Weiyang Palace was burned and collapsed by fire, and Wang Mang's whereabouts of gold are unknown.

Later treasure hunters believed that if Wang Mang's inventory of gold was divided between the citizens of Chang'an and the rebels who had entered the palace, the gold scattered among the people would soon still be circulating in the market.

However, since the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, gold suddenly withdrew from circulation, gold is not only rare among the people, but also almost extinct in the imperial court.

Some people say that gold is used to shape the golden body of Buddha statues, some people say that the land of gold production in China has been excavated, some people say that due to the trade deficit, it was replaced by merchants from the Western Regions who traded with China, and some people say that the rich and their plunderers are afraid of war and have stored gold, and some people quote Gresham's law that "bad money drives out good money" to explain that people collect gold and use low-quality copper coins.

Throughout the records, only the Song Dynasty writer Su Shi seemed to be aware of the truth of the matter, so he wrote under the volume of "Qiu Chi Notes": "When Wang Mang was defeated, the treasure was unknown to the gods, and he returned to the mountains."

As a result, some treasure researchers in later generations analyzed that Wang Mang's gold should be transferred through the waterway of the imperial city at the time of the war, and the route was to trace the Wei River to the west, and then enter the canyon at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, and the specific hiding location was roughly in the area from Tianyu to Xianyou Temple near Louguantai, but this statement has not been confirmed, and Wang Mang's treasure is still a mystery through the ages.

And this place should be the land of Qinling.

These are all written on the document box.

Similarly, the documents are more about the treasures that have been excavated since the ancestors of the Chen family obtained the parchment scroll 600 years ago.

It is obvious that the Chen family was able to get this parchment scroll six hundred years ago, and the Chen family six hundred years ago was also a powerful person.

At least some ability.

But in the past 600 years, the Chen family has excavated a total of eight times, but each time it has ended in failure.

A location that knew that the treasure was hidden, with a family that had been inherited for nearly a thousand years, lasted 600 years, and excavated eight times, all of which ended in failure.

This has already made things very clear.

This treasure is not easy to dig.

Danger lurks.

This is also the reason why Qin Feng said that Chen Suying cheated him.

You must know that in the past 600 years, in order to keep this parchment scroll secret, the Chen family has also sent disciples of the Chen family to learn feng shui techniques and step into the industry of feng shui masters.

But the result is the same, it is still a failure.

According to the information in the document box.

This Wang Mang treasure is an imperial tomb constructed by a feng shui array.

To put it more bluntly, it is a thousand-year-old tomb.

Because this thousand-year-old tomb is in the deep mountains of the Qinling Mountains, the terrain is treacherous.

For the sake of secrecy, it is naturally impossible for the Chen family to send a large number of mechanical tools and a large number of personnel to excavate.

Then naturally you can only enter the ancient tomb in the normal way.

However, these eight entries have caused the Chen family to suffer heavy losses.

On the one hand is one hundred and seventy tons of gold.

On the one hand, there is confidentiality.

This is also a kind of torment for the Chen family.

What is the concept of 170 tons of gold?

Assuming that one gram is calculated at three hundred yuan, one ton is three hundred million.

And 170 tons is 51 billion yuan.

That's a lot of money for a family.

This is also Qin Fengming knew that Chen Suying was cheating on him, and he still chose to continue.

Ten percent!

That's at least more than 500 million.

With this ratio, Qin Feng could completely open the medicinal bath and quench his body.

Money is moving.

It is true that Qin Feng is a feng shui master, but no one stipulates that a feng shui master cannot like money.

You must know that like Qin Feng, once he opens the medicinal bath quenching body and uses resources to pile up cultivation, the amount of money spent will be a huge amount.

"Lao Chen, the conditions are still as we said before, but the ugly words are ahead, if your Chen family doesn't come according to the agreement, then don't talk to me about friendship at that time. Qin Feng said cautiously.

What I agreed with Chen Suying before was that if there was enough treasure, then in addition to gold, other items would belong to Qin Feng.

If there is only gold, then Qin Feng will take ten percent of the gold.

Wang Mang's treasure is the most special treasure in Chinese history, and it is also a treasure that clarifies the amount of gold in the legend.

So Qin Feng now affirms it again.
