It's gold!

Gold is known to be a chemically stable precious metal that does not oxidize like other metals.

That is to say, even in this humid and harsh environment, gold can be preserved very well for tens of millions of years, and it is because of this characteristic that gold stands out from many metals and has become the currency standard of all dynasties and even the whole world, even in the 21st century.

And the reason why the surface of this "hill" is blackened.

It is probably because the accumulated dirt adheres to it under the action of moisture, or because the groundwater contains a small amount of acidic substance, which causes some slight corrosion on the surface of the gold.

Of course, it was only a layer as thin as a hair on the surface, otherwise Wu Liang would only use his fingernails to pick out, how could he easily pick out the gold hidden underneath?

"Talented and virtuous brother, what should I do with these copper coins?"

Cao Yu didn't know why, he still looked at the massive copper coins in front of him, and asked a little distractedly.

Wu Liang stabilized his mood, and quietly turned around and asked a heart-wrenching question: "Soldier, can copper coins still circulate in the market at the moment?" ”

"This ......"

Cao Yu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his face showed a heart-piercing expression, and he reluctantly confirmed what Wu Liang had learned, "The people in Luoyang, Chang'an, have been victimized by Dong thief's small money, and no one has long been willing to accept copper money. ”

"You're talking about five baht coins, what if it's Qin Banliang?"

Wu Liang asked again.

"Half two?"

Cao Yu had never read the "Historical Records", and he had no idea about the coins that were in circulation hundreds of years ago, and he was surprised.

Wu Liang didn't talk nonsense, bent down and picked up a few copper coins from the pile of money and handed them to Cao Yu, and pointed out the two small characters on the copper coins to him by the firelight: "Please look at the military candidates, the right is 'half' and the left is 'two', these are the half taels of money that circulated in the early Western Han Dynasty along the Qin system, can these money still circulate now?" ”

"This ......"

Cao Yu's heart was already half cold, he frowned and looked at the two small words, and even rubbed them a few times unwillingly, but half two is half two, and he is not a gambling god, no matter how he rubs it, it is impossible to turn those two words into five baht.

What's more, even if it is five baht, it is extremely difficult to use it to supplement food and salary......

Although those soldiers did not have a high level of education, they could also understand what Wu Liang was saying.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and the excited expression gradually solidifies on your face.

At this moment, the mood of everyone present is extremely bleak.

Could it be that after staying up so many nights, working so hard, and dying so many people, what did you finally dig up such a pile of worthless broken copper and iron?

Seeing that Cao Yu and everyone else already had a dying expression, Wu Liang snickered again.

Now that the emotions have been laid in place, at this time, let them survive in a desperate situation, and the surprise can be doubled, so that his value will be more fully reflected.

Thinking like this, Wu Liang pointed to the "hill" behind him and said, "Junhou, what do you look at again?" ”

"What?"

Cao Yu took his gaze away from the few and a half taels in his palm with some difficulty, looked at the place Wu Liang was pointing, and asked in a dull and weak voice.

Wu Liang grinned, took out the copper dagger that was pinned to his waist before, and gently scraped it on the "hill".

When the black substance on the surface was scraped open, the gold hidden in it immediately lit up in the light of the fire.

"This, this, this, this is ......"

Cao Yu's pupils shrank suddenly, and he involuntarily raised his arm and pointed at the "hill", opening his mouth for a long time but not even being able to say a word, and even his feet were still retreating back in disbelief.

The soldiers' eyes also widened instantly.

Although some people still don't quite understand what happened, the dazzling gold and Cao Yu's reaction are obvious to all, and what is below is definitely not to be underestimated.

"Gold."

Wu Liang said lightly.

“！！！”

When they heard these two words, everyone's bodies stiffened involuntarily, as if they had accidentally stepped on the electric door.

Gold!

A hill made of gold!

Isn't this the mountain of gold that only appears in legends!?

There is no doubt that poverty can not only limit the imagination of modern people, but also people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and it is usually difficult for ordinary people to imagine what the scene is like in the basement of the "big tiger" house.

Wu Liang looked at everyone and decided to give them some time to accept, and did not make a sound to disturb.

To tell the truth, when he found out that this was actually a golden mountain, and Cao Yu and the others didn't realize it at all, Wu Liang didn't have the idea of taking it for himself.

But after a little deliberation, he finally decided to hand over to Cao Cao and hug this thigh first.

The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty.

Taking history as a mirror, in troubled times, it is not necessarily a good thing for an ordinary person to have a lot of assets.

This batch of gold remains in his hands, as long as he goes a little bit and reveals a little rumor, he will immediately be approached by all kinds of powerful people, and all kinds of tricks and robberies will emerge in an endless stream, and the slightest carelessness will be lost, and even his family will be implicated, and there is no room for resistance.

Of course, he can also choose to use gold to recruit troops and horses, not to compete with various princes, but to protect himself.

But "the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop", once some things start, it is not that you can protect yourself if you want to protect yourself, someone will definitely involve you in the war, or the kind that will not die.

Throughout the history of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, such as Lu Bu, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Pang Tong, Zhou Yu, Dian Wei...... There are countless heroes and heroes, which of these people is not smarter than him, and which one is not braver than him, but what is the ending?

Even if it is a world-famous traitor like Cao Cao, doesn't there be a time when he loses Huarong Dao?

Therefore, the most important thing for people is to see themselves clearly.

In peacetime, he neither knew the art of war formation, nor did he have invincible martial arts in the world, and he had not even seen many dead people...... The gap in many aspects is not only something that can be made up by being familiar with history, but if he really wants to run to lead troops to fight, he may not be as good as Zhao Kuo, the most famous keyboard warrior in history, who died in the end and didn't know how to die.

Therefore, make good use of your professional expertise, be an indispensable man behind a successful man, and live the adventurous life of tomb robbing that you most yearn for in your previous life?

And most importantly......

As far as Wu Liang knew, there was not only the tomb of Liu Wu, the king of Liang Xiao, but a whole group of tombs of the king of Liang in the Han Dynasty.

Among them, the most famous "first mausoleum in the world's stone chamber" in the archaeological world in later generations, the tomb of Queen Liang Xiao is hidden in the foothills of the next mountain, and the tomb of Liu Mai, the king of Liang Gong, is also nearby, these tombs were not excavated by archaeological experts until about the nineties, and none of them were seriously damaged by tomb robbery.

That is to say, in history, Cao Cao only found the tomb of Liu Wu, the king of Liang Xiao, and did not find other mausoleums.

In this case, aren't the treasures in those tombs his own?

Thinking like this, handing over this batch of gold to Cao Cao can be exchanged for an identity and a shelter, and from now on living a relatively stable life in this troubled world, it will not be so distressed, right?

Just when Wu Liang was thinking about these "from the heart".

"Woo woo woo ......"

Suddenly, there was a dull whimper from the side.

Wu Liang hurriedly turned around to look, only to see Cao Yu constantly shrugging his shoulders, and a line of tears was quietly sliding down his dark face.

Seeing Wu Liang and the soldiers, Cao Yu hurriedly wiped his face and explained embarrassedly: "I'm happy, I've never seen so much gold since I've grown so big, and so is my father!" So is my uncle! My father-in-law is too...... I'll pack the ticket with you, and even if they see it, they will cry with joy. ”

Really?

Wu Liang suddenly became interested, and the appearance of Prime Minister Cao Cheng crying was indeed a little exciting.
