After saluting, Li Biao went down to prepare lunch.

After Steward Li left, Wu Fei's eyes were all on the boxes full of gold, silver and jewelry in front of him. These are treasure chests with real money, and anyone who sees them can't hide the excitement in their hearts.

Excited, he made his way to the front of one of the chests and opened the lid on it. Suddenly, a dazzling golden light flashed out from inside, and he couldn't open his eyes. Hundreds of gold bars with an attractive luster are neatly arranged in boxes

"Is this the gold of ancient times, it doesn't feel bad"!

This was the first time in his life that he had seen and touched the gold of the Qin Dynasty, so he was full of curiosity.

In 221 BC, Qin Shi Huang eliminated the Six Kingdoms and established the first unified absolutist centralized feudal power in history. In order to eliminate the remnants left by the division of the princes and consolidate the unity of the country, Qin Shi Huang implemented a major measure of unifying the currency while unifying the script and weights and measures: the unified currency was actually to promote the original currency of the Qin State to China and abolish the coinage of the princes of the six countries.

Qin unified China and also unified the currency, stipulating that gold was the upper currency, and the unit was "eridium"; Copper is the lower coin, the unit is "half a tael". Half a tael of coins in the Warring States Qin has been minted, at first it was a national money, and then it was changed to a square hole round money. After the unification of Qin, half a tael of money was promoted to China. Since then, the currency form of the square hole coin has been used for more than 2,000 years. 【】"Historical Records of Pingzhun Shu Suoyin" quoted in "Ancient and Modern Notes"

"Qin Qian is half a tael, one inch and two cents in diameter, and weighs twelve baht." Today, I see that the size of the Qin half two coins is different, the diameter of the money is generally 3.2-3.4 cm, and the weight is about 8 grams. Qian Wen is protruding and narrow, slightly curved. There is no inner and outer Guo, and the back is plain. Some weigh more than 10 grams, or even weigh more than 20 grams, or "when a hundred dollars" contained in "Suo Yin".

That is to say, gold in the Qin Dynasty in history is a kind of high-class currency that represents status and status, and is generally only circulated among officials, courts and royal families, and will not be circulated among the people.

The smelting technology of the Qin Dynasty was very poor, and it could only smelt some simple and easy mineral raw materials such as bronze equipment, and operations such as gold purification and smelting, which required high-end smelting technology, were far from being reached by the scientific level of time and space at that time. Therefore, the gold bars that Wu Fei saw now almost remained the same as if they had just been excavated from the mine. They were hand-chiseled by specialized personnel to form the current irregular cuboid gold bars.

It is precisely because of this that the purity of these gold bars is not very high, and each gold bar is smelted and purified, that is, it reaches about seventy or eighty percent of the original volume. Even so, all these gold bars add up, and that's a huge fortune.

"Master, these gold bars have been physically chiseled since they were excavated from the mine, and they are mixed with different impurities." 【】

"Can it be purified and re-smelted"?

Hearing this, Wu Fei opened his mouth to ask Xiao Heidao.

"It can be purified, and with the current purification and smelting capacity of the system, it only takes three hours to complete the refining and smelting recasting of all the essential gold here. I don't know if the owner wants the form of gold bars, or gold ingots and other forms"?

In Xiao Hei's system program, there are only two different forms of gold bars and gold ingots. However, if Wu Fei wants other forms, it can also be smelted and cast according to the requirements.

"You can also turn into the form of a gold ingot?"

After listening to Xiao Hei's words, Wu Fei looked surprised.

He didn't expect that Xiao Hei would be so rebellious that even if he purified the essence of gold, he could even smelt and cast it into the form of gold ingots. Compared with the form of gold ingots, the form of gold bars is much higher.

Gold ingots are made of precious gold or silver, generally silver is the majority, and gold is rare. In the history of Chinese currency, gold and silver were officially called "ingots", which began in the Yuan Dynasty. However, as early as the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, when the Yuan Tongbao was in the world, the folk had the meaning of taking its huge and valuable, and it was read as "opening the ingot". In the Yuan Dynasty, gold and silver coins were called "ingots", which meant the treasure of the Yuan Dynasty. Gold is called: gold ingots, silver ingots are called silver ingots, which not only has political meanings, but also is a common term for gold and silver currency.

"Yes"!

"Okay, then all the gold here will be handed over to you, and it will be purified and smelted and reforged. As for the form, let's cast it in the form of a gold ingot, which is more domineering."

"Yes, master".

For Wu Fei's suggestion. Xiao Hei agreed one by one.

"By the way, after completing the refining and reforging, let's temporarily store them in the system space for the time being.1 There are also those rare treasures, I'll pick a few pieces out as decorations later, and the rest will also be stored in the system space." Naturally, he would only be at ease if he kept this huge wealth in a safe place, and the space-time system space was the best place for him to hide treasures.

Later, more than a dozen boxes of essential gold bars were included in the system space by Xiaohei for a series of operations such as purification, smelting and recasting. Wu Fei continued to open the remaining two boxes containing rare treasures, preparing to select a few pieces to be placed in the lobby of the mansion, which could be regarded as treasures of the town.

Wouldn't it be too shabby if you didn't put a few treasures that were said to be expensive in the past?

With this in mind, he opened the first box.

When the chest containing the treasures was opened, the first thing that caught his eye were ten night pearls of the same size and texture. These night pearls are lined up and neatly arranged in boxes. Moreover, these night pearls are particularly large, with a radius of about half a meter. It stands to reason that the Night Pearl generally does not have such a large size. However, what he saw in front of him surprised him.

The ancient name of the night pearl is "with the pearl", "hanging pearl", "weeping thorn", "bright moon pearl", etc., is a rare treasure.

The earliest record of the night pearl in China is the "jade of stone phosphorus" owned by Shennong in ancient times, known as "night light".

Normally, the night pearl refers to fluorescent stone and luminous stone. It is some luminescent substances in the earth from the initial magma eruption, to the later geological movement, gathered in the ore to become, containing these luminous rare elements of the stone, after processing, is what people call the night pearl, often yellow-green, light blue, orange-red and other colors, put the fluorescent stone under the white fluorescent lamp to shine, it will emit beautiful fluorescence, this luminescence is obviously manifested as weak day and strong night.

The "Night Pearl" is the most mysterious, rarest and most precious treasure in the 5,000-year history of Chinese civilization, and is privately owned by the imperial power. The "Pearl of the Night" has a deep historical and cultural connotation, and it has been regarded as an exclusive treasure of the royal family for generations, crowned with a sacred veil.

In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, such as "Hanging Li" and "Weeping Thorns", they are priceless and comparable to the Bi. At that time, only the big official Tao Zhugong (Fan Li) and the price dun (a big merchant during the Warring States period) could afford it. The Jin State once used the "weeping thorns" as a bait to "fake the head and Yu to compile on behalf of the editor". Doctors from Chu, Qin, Wei and other countries once used the night pearl to imply philosophy and discuss national affairs. Qin Shi Huang was buried in the night pearl, in the mausoleum "to replace the anointing candle".

All of the above is enough to show the preciousness of the night pearl itself, which can be seen. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
