Chapter 286: The Treasure Thing
Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "This treasure is not yet a treasure. The book says that Emperor Guanglie has made a total of five treasures. They are placed in five families. In every family, he put a book written in such words. Each book has a location for the treasure and how to access it. For fear that none of the five families would be able to take out the treasure, or that one of his own families would be able to understand the book, he had a second method, that is, each treasure had the location of the next treasure. ”
Zhao Chongyi couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and his mind was full of the word treasure. Everyone has had a dream of treasures, and Da Chu also has a lot of treasures, and there are rumors in the market, often interesting, saying that someone found a treasure left by the previous dynasty and made a fortune overnight. However, Zhao Chongyi never thought that one day he would be able to discover the treasure.
Zhao Chongyi asked: "So, in this way, have you already gone to discover the treasure?" I heard that Emperor Guanglie is very rich, what are the treasures he left behind? A full box of gold and silver? Piles of jewelry? ”
Chen Wenhui snorted and laughed, and said, "Chongyi, you are so funny, when you talk about treasures, do you think they are gold and silver, and they are jewelry?" If that were the case, I wouldn't really be interested in discovering it. If you want gold or silver, I will tell the butler to go to the bank and withdraw it, and I will have as much gold as you want, and how much gold can I have in a chest? How much silver can you have in a chest? Even if our government proposes 350,000 taels of silver, it will not be a problem to raise 100,000 taels of silver, even if it is your own money. These hundreds of thousands of taels of gold and silver are piled up there, and it's not like a hill? That's right, inside your industry. According to your orders, every year the charity funds used for the bereaved families of those soldiers are seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver, not as much as a hill of silver. If you like it, you can go to great lengths to find treasures, and if you don't donate, just spend it yourself. ”
Zhao Chongyi thought about it.
Chen Wenhui continued: "If you want piles of jewelry, it's easier, just open my storeroom, and there are piles of my jewelry in that storeroom. I also have my own jewelry workshop in Nanyang, which is a pile of gold and silver. Piles of jewelry. ”
Speaking of which. Chen Wenhui said: "Let me tell you, I only have a lot of jewels for me, you go to the warehouses of those noblewomen in the capital to see, all of them are piles of jewels." Let's put it this way. There are treasures in his own house. Who is rare? "Chen Wenhui gave a meeting gift at a banquet, some for the girls, and some for the maids and servants. There are piles of jewels, where are the treasures in the general sense?
Zhao Chongyi smiled and said, "You're right, I think it's bad." However, it also means that you must have already obtained one of the five treasures, otherwise how would you know what is inside the treasure? What else is there to be interested in? It must be something more valuable than gold, silver, and jewelry. So, I'm even more curious. ”
Chen Wenhui said: "You're right, I've already got two. The first one is the book that my brother gave me, which is the treasure left to our Chen family by Emperor Guanglie. Inside that I got something that you've seen too. ”
Saying this, Zhao Chongyi was even more puzzled: "I've seen it too?" What, how did I not think of it? ”
Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "It's the sea trade map." ”
Saying this, Zhao Chongyi suddenly realized and said: "Oh, I understand, I say, no matter how smart you are, you can't know astronomy and geography, and you can't even know what the situation is in a place thousands of miles away?" This sea is vast, you can clearly know the waterway, and draw a sea trade map, how to do it. In this way, I understood that it was left by Emperor Guanglie. Emperor Guanglie is truly amazing. However, this is indeed a treasure, and the sea trade map is more important than the mountains of gold and silver. With this, how many rich people have been achieved in the sea trade every year, and how much power the imperial court of Great Chu alone has. Half of our victory in the war in the northwest was due to maritime trade. Without the Great Chu of the Maritime Trade, where would there be so much food to supply to the army? Where is there so much money, supplied to fight the war? ”
Chen Wenhui smiled and said: "This is true, the profits brought by sea trade are very large. Without this, my Nanyang would not have developed so big and so fast. ”
In fact, in my heart, Chen Wenhui is saying that even if there is no sea trade map, I also know the basic situation of this world, but with the sea trade map, it provides convenience for her.
Zhao Chongyi asked: "In this way, I yearn for this treasure even more, the first treasure got the sea trade map, what about the second treasure?" ”
Chen Wenhui said: "In the first treasure we got the burial place of the second treasure and the method of taking it out, we went and found the second treasure, which is indeed a great thing. ”
Zhao Chongyi was very curious, and hurriedly asked, "What is it?" ”
Chen Wenhui said: "There is nothing remarkable about this thing. Now the textbooks used in our schools in Nanyang and Yizhou Island are the things that we got from the second treasure. ”
Zhao Chongyi suddenly realized and said: "I understand this. I think this thing is more important than the sea trade map. It's no wonder that your Nanyang school can cultivate so many talents, and your Nanyang city can develop so fast, because the things you learn are more advanced than Dachu. In that case, you must have a third burial site. ”
Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "Yes, guess what the third place is?" ”
Zhao Chongyi suddenly understood and said, "Could it be that this third place is Guangzhou City?" ”
Chen Wenhui nodded.
Zhao Chongyi frowned and asked, "How is this possible?" I thought that this treasure was buried in that famous mountain or river, or in a remote place, where could I have thought that it was in this big city? Guangzhou City, although it is now controlled by the Baiyi people, but in the previous dynasty, it was built by Emperor Guanglie at the earliest. This name was given by Emperor Guanglie. Well, that's possible. Was it the city he built after all? This trick is really wonderful, and it has won the samadhi of the art of war, which is called the great hidden in the city. ”
Chen Wenhui said: "Yes, the first treasure is in Suzhou City, and the second treasure is in Shanghai City. ”
Zhao Chongyi said: "Suzhou City and Shanghai City were both built by Emperor Guanglie. These two names were also set by Emperor Guanglie. However, after so many hundreds of years, Suzhou City is still the most prosperous place in Dachu, even more prosperous and rich than the capital, but Shanghai City has been annihilated in the long river of history, leaving only a section of broken tiles. However, after the rise of Haimao, a few of you rebuilt Shanghai City under the leadership of Princess Lichuan. The emperor also respected Emperor Guanglie, and also gave Shanghai City the old name. Hey, that's it. Therefore, it is normal for the third treasure to be in Guangzhou City. It's just that Emperor Guanglie definitely didn't think that these vigorous cities, except for Suzhou City, Shanghai City was abolished, and Guangzhou City was no longer under the control of the imperial court. Ay. ”
Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "It's because of this that we didn't go to take the treasure of Guangzhou City." This delay is a few years. Now that we have time, I want you to accompany me, disguise yourself as a caravan, and go to Guangzhou City to get that treasure, and I am also very curious about what Emperor Guanglie put in the treasure this time. ”
Zhao Chongyi nodded and asked, "Then does the emperor know about this treasure?" ”
Chen Wenhui said: "Except for the eldest brother, everyone doesn't know. By the way, my parents know. ”
Zhao Chongyi breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Wenhui observed his words and looks, and knew that Zhao Chongyi was still very wary of the emperor, and couldn't help but be happy in his heart, knowing that it was good to take precautions, and the province was stupid to work for the royal family, like the old loyal and righteous duke, and was finally forced to go into hiding.
Zhao Chongyi thought about it and said, "Your plan is also feasible. We can dress up as a caravan, and I'll choose some good guards to accompany us, so that if something happens, we can get out of the way. However, this matter needs to be carefully planned, so let's prepare more. ”
Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Okay, you're right, I'll leave it to you." ”
Zhao Chongyi smiled and said: "There is no hurry in this matter, we are slowly preparing to go, I estimate that it will be ready in three or five days." But why are we going today? ”
Chen Wenhui said: "Let's go to the prince and sit down today." You may want to go to the prince to hang around, the eldest brother agreed to go to the Wa Kingdom, this matter is better for you to ask the prince in person, let the prince arrange how to talk to the emperor. In addition, I have something to say to the crown princess. Rongxue is going to rest at home for a day today, and she has to go to a poetry meeting tomorrow. ”
Zhao Chongyi smiled and said, "What you said is very true. With the prince and father-in-law working together, there should be no problem in thinking about the eldest brother's trip to the Wa Kingdom. That's a big deal. The eldest brother is also tired of staying in the capital, and the brother-in-law is also in urgent need of manpower. Although there will be no immediate war now, the eldest brother must first familiarize himself with the army, and without a period of running-in, how can he command the war handily. ”
That's right. Although Chen Wenhui doesn't understand these things about war, he can still understand this truth.
Zhao Chongyi said again: "The snow is very well arranged, busier than us, and it is a flower viewing and a poetry meeting." Well, I am very happy to see her become a real noble lady and live such a good life, and I think my mother will be happy in the spirit of heaven. ”
Chen Wenhui knew that the death of her biological mother was the pain of Zhao Chongyi's life, and she said gently: "Rongxue is not only good now, but will be better in the future." There are already ladies who have taken a fancy to our snow and want to ask for it for their nephews and sons, and I am still choosing. In the future, after we have made the shop for Langxue in Shanghai, Rongxue will have more dowry, more money in hand, and more wealth, plus the reputation in the capital will be louder, there will be more people who will seek it, and we must carefully select the best one for Rongxue. ”
Zhao Chongyi was very moved and held Chen Wenhui's hand. (To be continued......)
