"Haha, I'll just say it's worthless!" Ye Wutong was proud. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Hundreds of thousands of dollars isn't money?" Ye Feng rolled his eyes and said.

"It's not as good as a fraction of ours." Ye Yang mends the knife.

"Big brother, how can it be so cheap? Isn't it hard to make? And it's still a royal thing! "Ye Yu is a little unacceptable.

Mo Ye was speechless, he didn't know how to explain it, this thing is difficult to make, but there should be a lot of it, right?

Glancing at the ground again, the ancient tomb, the whole of which is built with gold bricks, so many bricks, can it still be sold for a sky-high price?

"Such bricks are more expensive than gold? Why? Ye Wutong said proudly.

"Why?" Mo Ye was also speechless, although it was not as good as real gold, but the price of this kind of gold brick was really not low.

The production of gold bricks has its own set of strict operating procedures, soil selection, mud refining, slurry, billet making, shade drying and other processes, meticulous.

Usually it takes more than two years before and after the completion of a gold brick, after the gold brick is fired, the initial processing is carried out, and then transported to Beijing by thousands of miles of waterway.

Therefore, in the period of mass production in ancient times, the price was not cheap, and in modern times, of course, the price is more expensive, but it can't be compared with jade ornaments!

"This kind of brick is only about 100,000 pieces, after all, it is a brick." In the end, Mo Xie could only say this.

After searching for information, the largest batch of gold brick transactions that Mo Xie knew was 89 gold bricks of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and 9.5 million yuan was auctioned at that time, which was still because this batch of gold bricks had an annual model.

Because the production of gold bricks is not trivial, the gold bricks are generally engraved with specific chronological paragraphs, such as the words "Qianlong made fine materials two feet and two inches of gold bricks in the second year".

In addition to the year name, material, size, and the name of the local official who supervised the manufacture, as well as the name of the specific brick-making craftsman, it is clearly printed on the brick.

At the 2012 auction, 89 gold bricks of the Ming and Qing dynasties were auctioned at a sky-high price of 9.5 million yuan, which made people look at the gold bricks of the imperial kiln with admiration.

The old gold bricks of the imperial kiln that did not go to the auction table are also worth a lot of money.

At present, the 2.2-foot square, good quality of the Qing Dynasty imperial kiln gold bricks, each market price has reached 10,000 ~ 30,000 yuan.

As for the gold bricks of the Ming Dynasty, no matter which emperor period, they were sold for more than 100,000 yuan.

"With this broken thing, can it still be sold for more than 100,000? Who is full and has nothing to do, to buy such a thing? I don't think anyone wants to throw it on the street. Ye Yang said.

Looking at the expressionless little girl, Mo Xie didn't know what to say.

Antiques are different opinions, and those who are willing to like it are in their hearts, and those who don't like it are in tatters.

In fact, gold bricks are really good things, really knowing, get gold bricks, generally will deliberately make a matching shelf, the gold bricks are placed on a special mahogany table, if you put a brush, a water bowl and a calligraphy on the edge of the table, you can practice words on the gold bricks.

The gold brick has good water absorption, the brush is dipped in water on the gold brick, and it is written to do it, and then it is written after drying, and it is also a very elegant thing to think about.

"It's so expensive, I still don't want it." Ye Liang said.

"I'll give it to you, and you can take it, as long as you don't use it to smash people's heads." Mo Xie chuckled.

"He's got to have the guts, too." Ye Yang said again.

"Why don't I have the guts? Today I am fighting with people, not being beaten. Ye Liang said with a stiff neck.

Mo Xie nodded and said: "Today is indeed a fight, not being beaten, but I have always beaten people, not fights." ”

Ye Liang and the others were immediately speechless, what did Mo Xie do, they naturally knew that for Mo Xie, beating people was a trivial matter.

Ye Liang felt this most deeply, if it wasn't for the death of the Zheng family, he would have been beaten?

"If the Zheng family is looking for trouble in the future, you just tell me, and I will solve it." Mo Xie also thought of today's matter, didn't the Zheng family wear a pair of pants with Ye Minghui? How could there be a Zheng family, beating Ye Minghui's son?

It seems that their relationship is not as good as Mo Ye imagined, so it doesn't seem to be difficult to break through.

"Okay, the eldest brother is very tired when he comes back by plane, let him go and rest, and we will have dinner in the evening!" Ye Yang waved his hand and left with his brothers and sisters.

Mo Xie circled around the room, leading to the entrance to the underground, in a corner of the street, it was daylight, and he couldn't go down.

"Ming Dynasty gold bricks, Ming Dynasty tombs, it's a pity that things are buried by dust, otherwise even if you can't go down, you can see the burial items." Mo Ye carefully analyzed this ancient tomb through the super biological detector.

Who would have thought that behind the air-raid shelter wall, there is actually an ancient tomb of the Ming Dynasty.

Although there are no burial goods in the ancient tomb now, just the gold bricks used to build the ancient tomb are enough for Mo Xie to lie down.

A gold brick is not very valuable, but what about a whole bunch of gold bricks?

If this is not intuitive enough, then how much are the gold bricks in the Forbidden City worth? It's scary to say it!

"Yongle Imperial Kiln, it's worth a lot of money!" I can't see the funeral goods, Mo Ye can see the inscriptions on the gold bricks, and the gold bricks of the Yongle Dynasty are obviously the most expensive, because the gold bricks and imperial kilns started from Yongle.

When Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing and began to build the Forbidden City, everyone knows that there was no bidding procedure at that time, and what kind of materials to choose was completely up to the personal preferences of officials.

At that time, it was the Ministry of Engineering that was responsible for the floor decoration of the Forbidden City, and the boss Wu Zhong had some knowledge of architectural planning, and he fell in love with the Lu Mu brick kiln in Su @ Zhou at a glance.

The bricks produced by Lu Mu brick kiln were of high quality at that time and won the praise of Emperor Yongle, so the kiln was named "Imperial Kiln".

When the Forbidden City was renovated, the floor was all made of square bricks produced by the "Imperial Kiln".

Some people have to ask, why do you choose bricks for laying floors in the Forbidden City, instead of choosing wooden floors or tiles?

It is recorded that as early as the late Spring and Autumn period more than 2,000 years ago, people began to pave roads with bricks when building houses.

So what you see in the TV series, those ancient buildings with wooden floors are generally.

When the Ming Dynasty built the Forbidden City, the emperor spared no expense, but also to build a magnificent palace complex, the pursuit of details reached the extreme, even if it is the road under the feet, it is the object that needs to be decorated, so the use of bricks at that time was the best choice at that time, and finally achieved such a purpose.

After the completion of the Forbidden City, the splendid gold made the common people out of reach, so there was a rumor that "the land of the Forbidden City is made of gold bricks", which actually means that the emperor is too extravagant and uses gold bricks to pave the ground.

In fact, the "gold bricks" in the mouths of the common people are actually the elegant names of large square bricks with specifications of two feet two, two feet, and one foot seven squares.

And this large square brick is the brick produced by the Su@Zhou Imperial Kiln.

So is such a broken brick really so valuable?

As long as you understand the production process of this brick, you will know that this kind of brick is really that valuable.

In this way, a brick, from clay to gold bricks, takes 720 days, and the saying of "one or two gold bricks" comes from this.

According to the current gold price, a brick is not less than 100,000 yuan.

According to the calculation of two feet two square bricks, how to get a brick has to be 150,000 square meters, so, a few years ago, a piece of Yongle's imperial kiln gold brick, the auction transaction price was more than 800,000 yuan.

Therefore, in order to let Ye Liang accept it just now, Mo Xie did not say the true value of the gold brick.

Of course, there is a reason for the value of money, because the firing process of "gold bricks" is extremely complex and exquisite.

Only one of the soil has to go through seven processes such as digging, transporting, drying, vertebrae, pulp, grinding, and sifting, and the process of taking soil is similar to that of our dumplings and noodles.

The mud used must be the mud of Taihu Lake, and the soil used must be sticky but not scattered, powder but not sand.

The selected soil should be left in the open air for a whole year to remove its "earthiness".

The clay is then soaked in water and the clay is repeatedly trampled by several oxen to remove the air bubbles in the mud and finally make a dense mud mass.

After repeated beating, the mud ball is loaded into the mold, the flat cover is flat, and the two of them step on the board until they are firmly stepped on.

Then the bricks are dried in the shade, and they must be dried in the shade for more than 7 months before they can be fired in the kiln.

The materials of the burning soil are particular, when firing, first smoke with bran grass for 1 month, remove its moisture, then chop wood for 1 month, then use the whole wood to burn for 1 month, and finally use pine branches to burn for 40 days, before you can get out of the kiln.

After leaving the kiln, it will also go through strict inspection, if a batch of gold bricks, there are 6 pieces can not reach the level of "knocking sound, broken without holes", this batch of gold bricks are considered waste, to be re-fired.

Although this kind of waste is simply a crime in the eyes of the modern workshop director, without this kind of excellence, it is impossible to enter a place like the Forbidden City.

In this way, it will take up to 2 years to go from clay to gold bricks, but don't think that such gold bricks are completed, if you really think so, then you are too naïve.

After the kiln out of the kiln, the gold bricks should be soaked in tung oil until the surface of the bricks is shiny, and then it is finally made.

After the gold bricks were transported to the capital, the government also sent officials to inspect them one by one, and each piece had to be carefully inspected before paying tribute.

In the process of transportation, storage and distribution, gold bricks are strictly managed and cannot be lost or counterfeited.

So how did you prevent the falsification of gold bricks back then?

If you have the opportunity to sneak into the Forbidden City, pry open the floor, and turn over the gold bricks on the floor, you will be pleasantly surprised to find that the back of the gold bricks not only has the year name, but also the name of the craftsman.

Yes, every brick here has its own origin.

Fortunately, there was no "certain treasure" back then, otherwise, the gold bricks were still on the way to the capital, and the floor of the Forbidden City was already covered with "knockoffs".

These bricks, which are fired with Taihu mud and meticulously processed, have become a myth.

This kind of complicated process and expensive price is now estimated to be only used by the richest people in China, such as Ma and Wang.

Of course, can you use it if you have money?

Sorry, this skill is now lost.
