It turned out that he was very puzzled, Cao Cao would not be able to make money to kill people. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It wasn't until he traveled to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty that he learned about Cao Cao's helplessness.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the people attached great importance to filial piety, whether it was the princes and ministers or the common people, they often put a lot of gold and silver treasures into it when burying their elders.
Wang Fu once said in "The Theory of Hidden Husbands - Extravagance": "Today's noble relatives in Beijing, the wealthy families of counties and counties, are not extremely raised, and death is mourning, or to the golden jade box, Zi Ji Nan, bury more treasures, puppets, chariots and horses, build large mounds, widely plant pines and cypresses, and worship luxury in the ancestral hall." ”
During the Western Han Dynasty, there was a lot of gold circulating in the entire market, but after the Eastern Han Dynasty, the gold decreased by nearly ninety percent, and where to go, it was all buried underground.
Cao Cao wanted to make up for the gap in military salaries, and he couldn't rely on those yeoman farmers who were exploited by the family and were dying, nor could he rely on those greedy and stingy families.
At this point, Wei Yan never looked down on Cao Cao, but admired Cao Cao's spirit of "pragmatism and profit, not fame".
Wei Yan has always believed that people die like lights go out, even if people have souls that can be reincarnated as humans, aren't the gold and silver treasures buried before buried in the ground useless?
He has never advocated such stupid and extravagant filial piety, and gold, silver and jewelry should be for the benefit of the living, not buried in the ground and perished with the earth.
Therefore, after a little thought, he said to the tomb robber led by him: "Ah Tie, do you want to continue to do your old business?" ”
Ah Tie, Wei Tie, Wei family, but they are more distant from Wei Yan, and they are closer to the previous Wei Liuye, their branch has been tomb robbers since the Warring States Period, and has been passed down from generation to generation, and they are despised by all the clansmen of the Wei family, and they are not allowed to participate in the clan worship, but the craftsmanship passed down from their ancestors is stubbornly passed down.
When they arrived in Wei Tie's area, the four brothers, with very vulgar names, gold, silver, copper and iron, the three brothers and their father were found dead in the process of digging the grave, Wei Tie Jinpan washed his hands and joined Wei Yan's team.
Wei Yan later wanted to increase Jia Xu's loyalty, and remembered the excavation site of Sun Bin's art of war that he remembered before the crossing, so he asked Wei Tie to lead people to excavate.
Why did Wei Yan remember that place?
Quite simply, before the crossing, he went to visit.
Yinque Mountain Han Tomb is located in the southwest foot of Linyi Yinque Mountain, this tomb group was discovered in 1964, from 1972 to 1986 has excavated more than 100 tombs, most of them are tombs in the early Western Han Dynasty, and there are tombs from the Warring States period to the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.
There are bamboo slips, lacquered woodware, pottery, bronze and coins, etc., with bamboo slips are the most precious, including the four ancient Chinese art of war "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Sun Bin Art of War", "Liutao", "Wei Xuanzi" and "Mozi", "Guanzi", "Yanzi Chunqiu", "Xianggou Jing", "Cao's Yin and Yang" and other pre-Qin ancient books, especially the lost 1700 years of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and "Sun Bin Art of War" unearthed at the same time shocked at home and abroad, "Han Wu Emperor Yuanguang First Year Calendar" is the earliest and most complete ancient calendar found in China so far.
Han Jian unearthed famous all over the world, shocked China and foreign countries, and "Mawangdui" and "Terracotta Warriors" were included in the list of 100 archaeological discoveries in the 20th century, becoming "one of the top ten archaeological discoveries in New China". In 1977, it was listed as the first batch of cultural relics protection units in Shandong, and in 1989, it was officially opened to the outside world and was included in the national key cultural relics protection units.
Not long before the crossing, he had traveled over there, so he firmly remembered the geographical location of the tomb, so he told Wei Tie and them very clearly, Wei Tie and they did not fail in their mission, and brought all the books back.
Now, Wei Yan ordered people to sort out the "Art of War" first, and the others are being sorted out one after another.
From the Western Han Dynasty to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were hundreds of years, some bamboo slips were damaged, Wei Yan had no choice but to let Kongkong help him repair them, naturally it also consumed a lot of points, but the harvest was quite rich, once it was sorted out, Wei Yan would arm the heads of all his generals with these things, no longer just empty to enhance the dominance, but also let them really have knowledge and connotation.
Wei Tie shook his head: "If it weren't for the general's entrustment this time, I would never have returned to my old business!" ”
Wei Yan smiled slightly: "Ah Tie, in the past, you were afraid of the revenge of the powerful family, so you didn't dare to dig the graves of their ancestors at all, and only dared to dig the graves of those ownerless graves or the graves of poor families, but you got very little, so Ling Zun took the risk and took your three brothers to dig the grave of a powerful ancestor of the family, but it was discovered that the fire killed many people, so you were afraid and didn't dare to engage in this business anymore, I said, right?" ”
Wei Tie nodded and sighed deeply: "Yes, if you don't take risks, you won't be able to get anything, if you take risks, you will be beaten to death, forget it, I still won't do it." ”
Wei Yan smiled and asked: "Do you remember that the Yellow Turban Army swept seven families in the three counties of Yiyang before, and wiped out all of them, and the graves of their ancestors have now become ownerless graves, why don't you dare to dig them?"
Moreover, in the current Nanyang County, there will be more than a dozen or even more families that will be swept away, all of them will be killed, and the graves of their ancestors will also become ownerless graves, why don't you dare to dig them? ”
Wei Tie was stunned, yes, those families are all gone, and the graves of their ancestors are left unattended, and a large amount of gold and silver treasures buried in them are all wasted underground, what a pity.
Wei Yan looked at Wei Tie's expression and moved slightly: "If you return to your old business, I hope you don't make a small fuss, you can dig up the graves of all the powerful families who have been slaughtered by my army, how rich those families are, you have also seen them, how extravagant their funerals are, you have also seen it, I believe that as long as you dig out the income of a family, you may earn more than your father and brother in their lifetime." ”
Wei Tie looked at Wei Yan blankly: "General, I didn't expect that you would approve of our business. ”
Wei Yan said with a smile: "People die like lights go out, even if people have souls that can be reincarnated as humans, aren't the gold and silver treasures that were buried before buried in the ground useless?" I have never advocated such stupid and extravagant filial piety, and gold, silver and jewelry should be for the benefit of the living, not buried in the ground and decayed with the earth. ”
Wei Tie was immediately grateful, over the years, he and his father and brother have all been looked down upon and looked down upon, but he didn't expect such a big figure as Wei Yan to value him so much, so much so that he knelt down for Wei Yan with a plop...... Lord, thank you for not giving up, and still value us so much, my subordinates are willing to go to the soup for the lord, and never give up! ”
At this time, an empty and sexy voice sounded in Wei Yan's mind: "Lord, I found that Wei Tie, the seed of Nengchen, this person is 62 in force, 58 in domination, 64 in intelligence, 56 in politics, and 22 in charisma, and his favorability was originally 100, but now he has your strong recognition, and he is grateful, and his favorability is increased by 50, which is converted into loyalty of 150." This person has the stunt [Grave Digging], has a high talent for tomb robbery, and can turn evil into good fortune, with a success rate of nearly 100%. ”
