PS: I'm sorry, there's only this one tonight, and I'll make it up later!

Chapter 940: Jade Qilin

……

After saying goodbye to Zhou Bin, Li Yuncong and Lu Mingyuan, the time was already nine o'clock in the evening, and after looking at the time, Liu Dong did not go back to his courtyard in the capital, but drove straight to Nanluoguxiang.

In addition to the 40 years of commercial land contracting costs, the nearly 5,000 resident population living in Nanluoguxiang alone cost nearly 3 billion to Jiahua Hotel Group, if you count the renovation and decoration costs of the hotel in the later period, but in this project, the investment is probably as much as five or six billion yuan.

However, although the investment is huge, but all this is worth it, not to mention that the location advantage in the downtown area of the capital will definitely be able to bring huge passenger flow, but after all the renovation is completed, the number of more than 3,000 courtyard houses can bring huge benefits to the hotel every day!

And this iconic hotel can also greatly enhance the reputation of K. Wah Hotel Group!

Therefore, even if Liu Dong invested more and more in the project that was originally set up for the convenience of digging treasure, he did not regret it!

Park the car in the parking space on the side of the road in Nanluoguxiang, and after getting down, Liu Dong glanced at the Nanluoguxiang block that was already under reconstruction not far away, and strode towards Jingyang Hutong!

Last time, before he went to the United States, he had searched six alleys, and there were no gold, silver and jewelry, but there were 129 antiques. In particular, Lu Tanwei, one of the four masters of the Six Dynasties, "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest and the Rongqi Period" and the Tang Dynasty painter Zhang Xuan's "Ming Emperor's Cool Picture". and the Western Zhou luminous cup is one of the best. Three national treasures too!

Now, the entire Nanluoguxiang residents have been relocated, and Liu Dong is looking forward to more gains this time!

Because Nanluoguxiang is being rebuilt, the entire block has been sealed by the wall, but this is not a difficult thing for Liu Dong, and he doesn't need any assistance, just a light jump and jump over a nearly two-meter high wall!

Once he had gained his footing, he glanced at the street, which still looked dim by the light of the streetlights. Liu Dong strode forward!

Fortunately, he is a master of art and bold, otherwise at night, I am afraid that few people would dare to come to the old mansion full of sundries, silent, dull and dark, and without the slightest popularity!

Feeling the aura that suddenly appeared within the scope of the relic yuanguang, Liu Dong couldn't help but smile, "I didn't expect to have a harvest just after I came, and it seems to be more than one place!"

According to the direction where Lingguang is, to Liu Dong's surprise, Lingguang's location is not the gate of the mansion he thinks. Instead, it's a small yard of only about 200 square meters!

The gate of the yard was open, and the garbage on the ground was still messy. A table of eight immortals with a missing leg fell in the middle of the courtyard, because the relocation time was not short, the table of eight immortals was full of dust, and there were still traces of heavy ice and snow erosion in some areas! Occasionally, a gust of north wind blew, shaking the table of eight immortals and making a hoarse friction sound, as if the eighty-year-old was about to die!

And the garbage and fallen leaves next to it also rustle with the wind, exuding a strong sense of loneliness and decay in the dark environment, if it weren't for the occasional few rats passing by, I'm afraid it would add a little more eerie!

Liu Dong didn't look too much at this small courtyard house with only the left and right wings and the main house, but strode through the messy courtyard, and came to the place between the left wing and the main house, where there are about sixteen or seventeen square meters.

In Liu Dong's countryside, many people also make this small space a place for cooking on fire, but more choices are like what Liu Dong saw in front of him, making it into a grinding plate!

But this millstone is not the kind of double-layered, small grinding disc that one person can be completely capable of, but the kind of large stone mill that is pulled by animal power!

The diameter of the grinding disc alone is almost two meters, and the weight of the rollers on it is even more than a ton!

Underneath this grinding disc is a cushion made entirely of hard bluestone!

Liu Dong circled around the grinding plate, and after frowning slightly, the large grinding disc and the underground cushion, as well as the two-meter-deep soil layer, all disappeared with a wave of his hand.

"It seems that this treasure should have been buried by the predecessors, otherwise it would be impossible for future generations to build such a heavy grinding disc on it, and they are not afraid of crushing!"

With this thought in his mind, Liu Dong thought again, and instantly a thick clay jar appeared in his hand.

Now that Liu Dong's relics Yuanguang's automatic collection range has reached the level of a radius of six meters, anything within this range can be obtained by Liu Dong in an instant.

After gently putting down the clay pot with a height of more than 1 meter and a diameter of at least 60 centimeters, Liu Dong took down the clay pot that covered the harbor but had now been broken into three petals, and looked at the messy treasure inside that had been completely eroded by the leaking rain and mud, Liu Dong sighed secretly in his heart.

Even if the gold and silver jewelry is oxidized for a long time and loses its original luster, it will not damage them in the slightest.

However, the calligraphy, painting and ancient books in it are finished, and in the case that most of them have been corrupted into ashes, no matter how powerful Liu Dong's relics are, they are also lacking in skills!

"Fortunately, I finally saved something!"

Thinking about it, Liu Dong took out a unicorn ornament from the thick clay jar, the length of the unicorn is about 40 centimeters, the height is more than 20 centimeters, and it is a bit powerful and naïve at the same time!

The unicorn is a traditional auspicious beast in ancient Chinese Han mythology and legend, and the ancients believed that where the unicorn haunts, there must be auspiciousness. It is sometimes used as a metaphor for people with outstanding talents and both ability and integrity. People call the unicorn and the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, and the Xuanwu five auspicious beasts.

The ancients called the male unicorn and the female unicorn. The unicorn is an ancient benevolent beast, a set of dragon heads, antlers, lion eyes, tiger backs, bear waists, snake scales, horse hooves, ox tails in one, is an auspicious treasure, from ancient times to the present is the decoration of the public court, in order to boost the prestige of the official, but also a symbol of power.

From ancient times to the present, whether it is the royal family or the people, there are many costumes, articles, calligraphy and paintings, and sculptures about the unicorn, and this one in Liu Dong's hand is also one of them at this moment.

After Liu Dong used the relics to clean up the dirt on the unicorn that had been contaminated for hundreds of years, its white and warm appearance was immediately revealed!

There is no flaw from beginning to end, it is completely the best white jade, but it is not Hetian jade, but Nanyang Dushan jade! It is also the most high-grade 'permeable white' in Dushan jade, this grade of white jade is not even 10% in all Dushan jade white jade, it is very cherished, and Dushan jade has been mined for thousands of years, and now the top white jade is even rarer.

If you don't count the carving, but such a large piece of top-grade Dushan permeable white jade in Liu Dong's hand is worth more than 5 million Huaxia coins!

If you count the carving, the price will be doubled, if the time of this jade carving is put four hundred years ago, the price will be increased by 2 million, and if the royal tribute is added, the price will be increased by another 5 million!

As long as Liu Dong is willing to send this top-grade Dushan white jade unicorn used by the Ming Dynasty royal family to the auction, I believe that its price will definitely not be less than 20 million!

After playing with it a few times, Liu Dong turned the unicorn jade carving over, and in the middle of the right forefoot of the right forefoot that it stepped on, there were four seal characters engraved with 'Jiaqing Imperial System'!

Ming Shizong Zhu Houxi, the eleventh emperor of the Ming Dynasty, that is, Emperor Jiajing, Liu Dong is no stranger!

Among all the emperors in China, this can be regarded as a capable person, and there are few emperors who like to cultivate and refine pills in general history, even Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the ages, is no exception, and this has been practicing Taoism and cultivating for 20 years, but he has always firmly controlled the political, financial, military and people's livelihood power of the entire Ming Dynasty.

It is no wonder that the history books evaluated Emperor Jiajing as "the master of Zhongxing", saying that he "has six wonders of the world, four great martyrs of no competition, and five solitary lines that shake the world."

Of course, having a relationship with this master of Zhongxing in the Ming Dynasty also makes the value of this Dushan jade unicorn higher!

Time was limited, and after Liu Dong simply played with it a few times, he put away the jade unicorn.

Then he picked up a jade Ruyi from the vat, the material of this jade Ruyi is also Dushan white jade, but in terms of jade quality, it is not as good as the jade unicorn just now, but it can be regarded as a high-grade white jade.

In addition, there are some gaps in carving, although it is a famous handiwork, but in the end it is not as good as the royal system!

Therefore, after Liu Dong cleaned up the dirt on the surface of Yu Ruyi, he put it away.

In addition to this jade Ruyi, there are two jade carving ornaments in the vat, a bowl-sized Hetian jade mountain, and a book-sized Lantian jade interstitial!

In addition to the four jade carving ornaments, there are some jade ornaments such as wrenches, jade pendants, jade hairpins, and jade pendants, which should have been wrapped in brocade boxes, but now after the wood decays, basically all of them fall out, and although the thick pottery pots that are simply covered on the pottery jar are broken, they have not fallen in the end, preserving the integrity of these jade objects.

After Liu Dong packed up all the large pieces of jade, the most remaining was gold and silver jewelry!

Of course, jewelry and gold are only a few, and most of them are silver!

But it is precisely Liu Dong who is most uninterested in silver, because the current silver is not worth anything at all, and the value of 100 tons of silver is less than 100 million Huaxia coins! And the silver in this vat is only 200 kilograms! According to the current silver price, the price of these silver does not exceed 500,000 Huaxia coins!

Although 500,000 yuan is a huge amount of money for most people, it is dispensable for Liu Dong, and it is not even a dime!

Therefore, after all the valuable antique jewelry and gold were cleaned up, Liu Dong waved his hand casually and put the remaining silver into the mustard seed space. (To be continued......)
