Looking at the underground passage just now, there was a fork, and he walked in the direction of the woods. Zhu Qibin said: "Big brother, in order to save time, I will go up the mountain, you have arranged here, just go up the mountain." ”

"Okay, there you go. Leave a mark if necessary. ”

Qin Zhengyuan walked with Zhu Qibin, and Wuyang went into the woods alone. After walking a short distance, I saw that the hole in the ground had expanded a lot, and there was something metallic. After walking for a while, I met Zu Deqiang. Zu Deqiang said: "Boss Li, the original tree can't be found anymore, I guess it's here." ”

Wuyang looked at it, "Master, let people cut off these bushes." ”

Zu Deqiang gave an order, and someone cut down the bushes with a firewood knife, and then someone plowed the ground. The ground was soft, and all but a few roots were rotten sawdust. After shoveling off the wood chips, you can see the stone walls that are clearly artificially built. But there is no passage on one side of the stone wall, so I will shovel the other side immediately. After half an hour, a stone cover was revealed. Zu Deqiang still asked Wuyang to join him and lifted the cover, and the stone steps inside were presented in front of everyone.

Zu Deqiang took the lead, and everyone followed in. After walking more than 100 stone steps, about 5 or 60 meters underground, you will arrive at the treasure room. On the high and low steps made of stone, gold ingots and silver ingots are crowded and densely placed, all of which are 500 taels each. Zu Deqiang counted it, there were 100 steps on each level, 5 steps on each side, and 500 gold and silver ingots respectively.

"Boss Li, this is yours."

Wuyang said: "Master, I don't want these things. How do you deal with it. I don't care, I'll go inside and have a look. ”

"That's not going to work. According to the ancestral teachings, who gets the key. Who's this stuff. ”

"Okay, I'll give them to you."

Master Liu said, "Boss Li, are you rich or stupid?" ”

Wuyang smiled and said: "I'm not stupid, and I'm not so rich that I disdain Cheng Dù for nearly 8 tons of gold." Let's be clear, if there's anything else, I'll probably ask for it. Gold and silver have a price, but other things are priceless. Guru. If there are cultural relics, I don't want them to be lost, so I want to set up a museum to collect them. ”

Zu Deqiang said: "Okay. Boss Li is an understanding person, we have guarded these things for hundreds of years, and if you don't let everyone share them, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take things away. Brethren. Our ancestors said it. There is no gold and silver, but now that there is, it is a windfall, Boss Li gave it to us, and we accepted it. That's the case, if there are other things, they are all Boss Li's, we have to help him get rid of them first. Then move your own things. Of course, if Boss Li still has something to give us. We don't dislike it, do we? ”

Everyone laughed, and Wuyang also smiled and said: "It's not that I'm greedy for these cultural relics, and there is no way to recover if they are indeed lost." As long as it's not a cultural relic, I don't want it. ”

Zu Deqiang said: "Boss Li, bring one piece of everything back as a souvenir." ”

"Okay, I'll listen to the master."

The second room was a black block of metal, large and small, stacked on one side of the warehouse. In the light of the flashlight, not much rust is visible, but it is definitely a piece of iron.

"Master, this is reserved for weapons, right?"

"It should be. Boss Li, the smelting technology of the ancestors is good, it has been hundreds of years, and it has not rusted. ”

Wuyang said, "Yes, I can't do it now." ”

"There's nothing mysterious about it, it's just that some other metals are added to it. Do you want this recipe, I'll go home and copy it to you. ”

"yes, thank you so much."

There were more than 10 rooms inside, all of which were pieces of iron, and the last two were placed some iron piers, hammers, and stoves, the handles of which had rotted. Back then, they should have been tools for crafting weapons.

Zu Deqiang said: "Our ancestors prepared a lot of iron, and even the furnace was hidden in such a deep underground, so it must have been a long-term plan. Boss Li, do you want these pieces of iron? ”

Wuyang thought, if there is a formula, these things will be useless, and they can be produced by themselves. "Master, I've given it to you too."

Zu Deqiang smiled and said: "Now we can't build weapons, it's useless for us to take them, and we don't need much to fight farm tools." ”

"Then sell it to the factory, and I'll help you connect with the market. There are thousands of tons here, and they should be able to sell for a thousand dollars a ton. ”

"Okay, it's not far anyway, I'll arrange for someone to move back, and you let someone pull it away. Boss Li, look at this coal mine, how to mine it well? ”

"Your village has mined well, and I won't participate."

"Look, this is good coal, and it can be minted with iron. From the riverside to here, such a long and wide place, there is coal, and the mining amount must be very large, and it is worth doing, do you think about it again? ”

"Don't think about it, this is your family's wealth, I can't ask for it."

Master Xiao Yang said: "Boss Li, what our village chief said makes sense. You brought the key, and we knew that there was coal here, and you must have a share. Our village is not very wealthy, and if we want to spend so much money to open a coal mine, I am afraid that everyone's family will have to be emptied. Also, it's hard to sell coal right now. I used to help people do coal sales, looking for half a year, begging grandpa to tell grandma, treat and give gifts, finally contacted a user, sent half a year of goods, and the payment was often in arrears. If you think it's hard to open a coal mine, you can only be responsible for sales, and we will give you 20% of the shares. ”

Wuyang thought, although opening a coal mine is not profitable, it is not difficult to help them. "Master Yang, I don't want shares, but I can help you sell some. I work in Lanjiang, there is a thermal power plant in Lanjiang, there is a gas company, I go to contact us, maybe it can be done. Also, if you don't have the funds to open a mine, I can help you contact the bank for a loan, okay? ”

Zu Deqiang said: "Boss Li, thank you, please leave this matter to you." Whether you give shares or not, you don't count what you say, I don't count what I say, and all the villagers have the final say. Before leaving, you leave your phone number and let Yang Jianguo find you when the time comes. Okay, there's nothing to see here, let's go. Lao Liu, you go back and organize the villagers to carry things. It's okay to sleep on these things underground, as long as they are found. You'll be remembered. Boss Li, I'll accompany you. ”

The two men came up and walked to the ground and returned to the fork. Wuyang took a look at the direction of the underpass and strode away. Anyway, Zhu Qibin is already in front.

The terrain is getting higher and higher, and after walking 4 kilometers, I began to climb the mountain, and then I saw Zhu Qibin and Qin Zhengyuan, who had already reached the bare rocks on the top of the mountain.

"Master, come on, there's something here." Qin Zhengyuan shouted at the top of his voice.

The afternoon sun walks ahead. Zu Deqiang's steps were not slow, and soon they were together. Zhu Qibin said: "Big brother, Master Zu. The underground passage goes all the way to here, and there should be a stone chamber inside the stone, and the entrance has not yet been found. ”

Zu Deqiang said: "The entrance should be underground, if the exit is cut on the stone wall. The inside of the stone chamber is not protected from moisture. There's no way to prevent theft. ”

Wuyang felt that it made sense, but now the underground passage was blocked, and there was no opening on the stone wall, so the only way was to find a place where the stone wall was relatively thin and blew it up with explosives. "Zhengyuan, you call Limin and ask him to get hammers, steel drills, detonators, and explosives from the cement factory next to the winery. Trucks can be driven in a few more. Lest you can't fit it and have to get it, if someone. Find more. It's best to bring some baskets and poles. ”

Zu Deqiang said: "Boss Li, just let the other side bring things and cars." Now it's almost time to get off work, and our villagers are going home, so we can let them come and carry it, so as not to let many people know about it. ”

Wuyang said: "I will go to the village to call people later, I'm afraid it will be dark." ”

"Don't be afraid, there are more than 800 villagers working in my eldest son's construction company, just let him arrange people, and he won't waste time." By the way, his Uncle Liu should have already arranged it, and I informed them to go up the mountain. ”

The two called, Wuyang and Qibin ran their true qi to find a place with a thin stone wall, looked for a while, and at the end of the stone room, they really found a place, which was very thin, not too steep, and could stand firm.

It's okay, just wait for Cai Limin to come. A few people sat down to chat. Zhu Qibin said: "When the ancients did not have explosives, how did they open mountains and dig stones? ”

Qin Zhengyuan said: "Uncle Shi, you are deliberately teasing me, right?" Who doesn't know this kind of thing? ”

"If you know, tell me."

"When you boil the stone red over a fire and then pour cold water on it, it becomes brittle and easy to break open. Now some people who are performing on the street use their fingers to drill through the red bricks, that is, the red bricks are burned red, soaked in vinegar, and they are already very soft, and they drill their fingers and go in. Uncle Shi, what do you mean, are we also here to burn red stones? But we don't have anything to hold water. ”

Zu Deqiang said: "The problem of holding water is easy to handle. I took a knife and went to cut down a tree with soft wood, cut it off, and hollowed it out. ”

Wuyang said: "We did it first, we haven't opened it when they arrived, at least we can save some time, if we open it, as long as it is carried quickly." ”

Zhu Qibin and Qin Zhengyuan went to the mountainside woods to pick up dead branches, and Wuyang and Zu Deqiang cut down trees. There was only one knife, but both of them had deep internal strength, and the wood was soft and soft, and they quickly hollowed out 3 knots. Zhu Qibin and the others also got a lot of dead branches, and Zu Deqiang began to make a fire.

The stone wall is a small slope at the top and a large slope at the bottom, and only a small piece can be burned red at the beginning of the fire. After digging more than 10 centimeters in, the firewood is stuffed into some inside, and the red-hot area is a little larger, and after a few times, the red-hot area is even more. Every time Zu Deqiang burned it, he would stab it with a knife, and then listen to the sound to judge how thick the stone was. The stone wall cannot be burned through, and it will be a pity if the contents are burned by moxibustion. This time I tried again, and I stabbed it open. Although it is only a cup-sized hole, it is easy to expand the results. Zu Deqiang used internal force to poke, cut, and chop, and made the hole the size of a washbasin, Wuyang took the tool, and after tinkering with it for a while, he could easily let people climb in.

Wuyang asked Zu Deqiang to go in first, but Zu Deqiang resolutely refused to enter, "Boss Li, I won't go in here." Anyway, I'll give me what you don't want, and I don't want to know what there is, I'm afraid I won't be able to control my mouth after drinking. When someone comes, they want me to dispatch it. ”

Qin Zhengyuan said: "Master, I won't go in either, stay to help Master Zu." ”

"Okay, let's go in."

Put on a gas mask and climb in one after the other. The inside of the stone chamber was dry, not like no one had been in for hundreds of years. It turned out that inside the stone room, there was a large pile of quicklime and a large pile of charcoal. The charcoal is still one by one, and the quicklime has already decomposed.

The stone chamber is relatively large. It is 10 meters long and 6 meters wide, and there are four rows of wooden cabinets back to back, with nine in each row. There are 36 stone chambers in total. The style of the cabinet is very simple, that is, four legs, the shelves are mortise and tenon structure, nailed with wooden boards on three sides, and one side is the cabinet door, which is made of pine wood and is not painted. But the gap was putty, and the whole was covered with tung oil, and the tung oil was already a little blackened.

The cabinet is not wide. It's only about 1 meter, but it's taller and thicker, about two meters tall. 60 cm thick. There is a latch on the top of the cabinet door. But it was not locked.

Wuyang opened one, and there was a dragon robe and a crown hanging inside. Open the other cabinet, there are casual clothes, pants, morning boots, etc. asked Zhu Qibin, he also saw these things, and there were things like phoenix crowns. "Big brother, it's very exquisite."

"Of course it's beautiful, and people can secretly make it for many years. Walk. Let's go ahead. ”

The second room is about the same size, and the cabinets are the same in shape. The inside is divided into compartments, and there are pillowcases embroidered with dragon and phoenix patterns, quilts, and some curtains, which should be prepared for the palace.

"Big brother, they are all good things that can be sent to the museum for exhibition, but it's a pity that Wu Sangui has never sat in the world, otherwise these things will be of greater value. Looking at it this way, it will be a waste of time, so let's go and look at how many rooms there are. ”

Walking to the other end, there are a total of 9 stone rooms, the middle one is a ladder from the underground passage, there are no cabinets, and the other 8 rooms are all the same. There was no urging them outside, and the two of them opened the cabinet again. The 4 rooms at the other end of the ladder are all paper products, and the cabinets in the two rooms are full of books, and the books are not placed one by one like ordinary people's homes, but the cabinets are stuffed to the brim, and the 72 cabinets are all opened and seen, exactly the same. Wuyang and Qibin discussed, both of them must have been temporarily stored here, and they would be sorted out after moving away. The books were all packed in blue boxes, and the two of them didn't open them to look at them, so they didn't know how they were preserved.

In the other room, there are also 32 cabinets containing books, and 4 cabinets are edicts and edicts that have been prepared but have not yet been used, which shows that Wu Sangui has been preparing to be emperor for a long time.

One is a painting scroll, a book scroll, most of the painting scrolls are stacked according to the inside and outside direction of the cabinet, and the same as books, stuffed full, there is also a cabinet, which is placed with a relatively long painting scroll, which is placed in the left and right directions of the cabinet, which is much less than the inside and outside direction. Both of them had dirty hands, and neither dared to flip these things.

Zhu Qibin said: "Big brother, according to this storage method, it shouldn't be bad." Wu Sangui was careful and collected so many calligraphy and paintings, but he didn't expect it to be prepared for you. ”

Wuyang said: "It's not for me, it's for posterity." Wu Sangui rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and caused many living beings to suffer, but it was also a good thing. ”

"Do you think he did it on purpose? He couldn't help it. If he succeeds, he will definitely build a royal garden to display these calligraphy and paintings. Big brother, with these calligraphy and paintings, you can open a museum. ”

"yes. When we build a museum, we are really leaving good things for future generations. Let's go, let's see if there's anything good. ”

There are also two stone rooms, open the cabinet, one inside is the four treasures of the study, all kinds of inkstones, boxes of ink, some cuboids, some cylindrical, open the cabinet, some exude fragrance, some emit stench. The two of them saw the red ink block for the first time, which is estimated to have been used by the emperor for Zhu Criticism. There are more than 10 cabinets filled with rice paper, Wuyang saw so much, it doesn't matter if it is damaged, just touch it with your hands, to uncover, to see if it can still be used, the result of the rice paper is not bad, just add a few fingerprints.

In one of the cabinets, there are seals and stamp pads, and the seals are placed in several cabinets, the large ones are more than 10 centimeters long, and the small ones are only as big as the cross-section. The materials of the seals are jade, Shoushan stone, bloodstone, ivory, jadeite, and some are materials he does not recognize. Wuyang picked up one to see, there was no lettering, and then picked up another one, there were words on it, but it had been worn out. Look at a big one again, and the seal characters on it are the emperor's seal. There are many words that are there, but unfortunately I don't know much about seal characters, so I have to stop reading them.

Back to the ladder, there are two rooms that I haven't seen, open the door and go in, in a cabinet, there are all kinds of jewelry boxes, the jewelry box itself is a work of art, not to mention the various styles of jewelry inside, men's wrenches, rings, sheathed short swords, etc., there are also a few cabinets, and there are 4 cabinets of Ruyi, tortoiseshell, and Khotanese jade, jade, gold, gold inlaid with jade, pearls, agate, jade inlaid with gold, very beautiful. Wuyang counted it, and there were as many as 400 handles. Chaozhu also put two cabinets, including golden silk nanmu, huanghuali, sandalwood, and agarwood. In two cabinets, there is a table clock, which is simple in style and richly decorated.

In the other stone room, there are no cabinets, but six rows of wooden shelves, four rows in the middle, two rows against the wall, and the wooden shelves are full of screens. There are single vertical screens, hanging screens, there are also a set of 4 pieces, 6 pieces, the materials are also diverse, and there is a set of glass screens, painted Western paintings. This kind of thing was very rare at the time, and now glass is very common, that is, it has historical value.

After reading it all, Zhu Qibin said: "Big brother, although there are many things here, they are not complete, and there are still a lot of things missing." ”

"What's missing? How did I not find out? ”

"Lack of large items. You find that no, except for these screens and Jin Ruyi, there is no single piece that exceeds 10 catties. Think that back then, the king of Pingxi led his troops from Liaodong to western Yunnan, swept through most of China, and visited all the rich places, so what about the looted things? Even if he spends a lot of money on military expenses, it is impossible to sell all the heavy weapons in a short time? ”

Wuyang smiled: "Yes, when there will be time, I have to look for it, if I don't have time, I will come back next time, anyway, I won't stop if I don't turn it over." ”

"Big brother, with these objects, if you can still find some heavy weapons, you can open a special Pingxi Royal Mansion Museum. I'll build yì, and you'll open it in Spring City. ”

Wuyang said: "It doesn't make sense to open in Spring City." ”

"Things were obtained in Spring City, and the Pingxi Royal Mansion was also in Spring City, how could it be unreasonable?" (To be continued......)
