241. Medicinal herb storehouse

"Qian Ku, let's go in and take a look," Chi Ling walked behind and said with Wang Xueling in his arms, now there should be no more mechanisms in this Jieshi Underground Palace, and the whole person is much more relaxed.

They haven't walked around this area carefully, so they walked directly to the Imperial Garden at the back, and now it's not bad to walk from the back to the front.

"Well, it's not as much as I imagined, I thought there was a lot of money...... "The four of them opened the door of the money vault and walked in, and the spirit said with a suffocated mouth, most of the entire attic was empty, only a few boxes containing money.

Zhang Jingyang opened a box, a whole box of gold, the bottom of each gold is cast with the age and anti-counterfeiting mark, even if it is gold, there are people who are fake, as early as the Qin Dynasty There were some relevant anti-counterfeiting measures.

Count carefully, there are roughly more than a dozen boxes, more than a dozen boxes of Yibanta, in general, there are still a lot, the reason why the spirit is said to be less, but because the last time they entered the Overlord Palace, there was more gold there than here.

"Are these copper coins?" said the spirit of the coin as she looked at the box behind her, only this one box contained not gold, but some golden round coins, no more than three centimeters in diameter, with a square hole in the middle, and two seal characters engraved on the coins, which looked a little long, and she couldn't recognize them.

"This is the mother of money in the Qin Dynasty, cast in copper and tin" Li Zimu picked up a coin and weighed it and said, it is heavier than ordinary copper coins, and looking at the diameter of the copper coin, it should be the mother of money cast when Qin Shihuang was still there.

In the early Qin Dynasty, the half-tael currency was more lenient, probably a copper coin with a diameter of three centimeters like this, but by the time of Qin II, the half-tael minted was one size smaller, only about 2.6 centimeters in diameter, and it was thinner.

The specific reason is very simple, because during the time of Qin II, the treasury was not as full as when Qin Shi Huang was there, and the copper ore dug out was much less, so the size of the coins minted was smaller, which intuitively reflected the financial situation of the treasury of the Qin Dynasty in the two periods.

"What is Mother Qian?" said Chi Ling suspiciously, it was the first time she had heard of this term, and she had only heard of copper coins, knife coins, silver or something.

"Mother Qian, it is the source of the copper coins circulating in the market, and the copper coins circulating in the market are all minted according to the standards of the mother of money," Wang Xueling explained with a smile, now that there is no burden, her mood is much better.

Li Zimu nodded, Wang Xueling explained correctly, the mother of money was minted in the imperial court and used to distribute to units in various places, and then the relevant departments in various places minted the prescribed amount of copper coins for circulation according to the mother of money.

This whole box of money is worth ten boxes of copper coins if the total value is calculated. Of course, this is the current value, because the mother money could not be used as a circulating currency in the current dynasty in the strict sense, and it began to become valuable after the later dynasty.

"Forget it, don't look at it, you can't take it away if you see it......" Chi Ling waved his hand and said, this stone underground palace is worth a lot more, she has long been used to it, even the floor tiles in the Wanhe Hall are made of gold, and this little bit of gold is not as much as there.

The four of them walked around a little and then came out of this treasury, these things they can't take away, the final outcome can only be buried in the ground forever with the passage of time, or it may be found by future generations of people to make a sensation in the world, no matter what the final result is, it is no longer their business.

"Go to the medicinal herb warehouse" Li Zimu said lightly, there is a medicinal herb warehouse in this area, after all, people always have to get sick, and every palace has a special place for medicinal herbs for emergency use or to raise some medicinal herbs.

And this Jieshi Underground Palace is no exception, according to the indication on this map, the medicinal herb warehouse is not far to their right, and the reason why Li Zimu wants to go to the medicinal herb warehouse is to see if he can find the essence that Chi Ling wants to use.

"Okay" Chi Ling said softly, to be honest, she was actually deliberately avoiding this question in her heart, because the reason why Li Zimu kept her by his side was just because of the agreement between them, she lent him the Golden Silkworm Gu, and Li Zimu promised to help her find the spiritual essence.

If this spiritual essence is found, it is very likely that Li Zimu's temperament will not pay attention to her anymore, in contrast, she hopes that there is no spiritual essence in this Jieshi Underground Palace, so that she can rely on Li Zimu for a while.

"What's wrong with you?" Wang Xueling walked behind with Chi Ling's forehead arm and asked softly, Chi Ling, the little girl's joy and anger, was easy to see, and she could naturally sense that something seemed to be wrong with the latter.

"It's nothing, let's go" Chi Ling raised her head and said with a smile, holding Wang Xueling and following quickly towards Li Zimu and Zhang Jingyang in front of her, she was worried here to no avail, there was no destiny.

"I can't smell the smell of medicinal materials at all" Zhang Jingyang shook his head and said, at this time they were already standing at the door of this medicinal material storehouse, according to reason, a place like this where medicinal materials are concentrated is generally full of medicinal fragrance, and even the doors of those Chinese medicine stores outside can be easily smelled, but now in front of them, there is no medicinal fragrance wafting out.

"Ordinary medicinal materials should be gone for a long time" Li Zimu said lightly, and gently pushed open the door of this medicinal material warehouse, more than two thousand years have passed, this place has not been taken care of, and it is extremely difficult for those medicinal materials to be preserved.

Moreover, they are now underground, and there are many medicinal materials that cannot be grown, and only some rhizome medicinal materials that do not require photosynthesis can be planted, which greatly limits the types and categories of medicinal materials in this medicinal material warehouse.

Open the room, inside is a high shelf of the same specification, these wood has not rotted for so many years, and there are a lot of circular dustpans made of bamboo on the shelf to hold some conventional medicinal herbs.

But now the medicinal materials inside have long been rotten, and some have turned into a pile of powder, Li Zimu put aside these shelves and walked straight to the back, these are some ordinary medicinal materials, the medicinal materials he is looking for should still be in the row of large wooden cabinets at the back.

"The bezoar in this is still so well preserved" Zhang Jingyang said in surprise, the material of this wooden cabinet is a little special, it smells faintly aromatic, and there are many small drawers on the wooden cabinet, and there are signs hanging on the handles of the drawers, indicating the names of the medicinal materials stored inside.

"Normal" Li Zimu nodded, the bezoar is the gallstone of the bovid, and if it is generally preserved, it can be kept unchanged, and the material of this wooden cabinet should be of the best camphor wood, and the smell of this wooden cabinet is more than this, it should be added with other things.
