Chen Hongmian was not polite, and really recruited a servant and asked him to inquire near the Peach Blossom Nunnery. Then he asked, "What does this mean?" ”

"After the owner of the nunnery discovered the door of the tomb of Helu, he was very interested in similar relics, and later studied the history books and village chronicles to find a few more relics." Speaking of this, I was afraid that Chen Hongmi would think crookedly, and explained, "His old man is high-spirited, purely because of interest, and he doesn't try to plot the gold and silver in it, even if he is poor, he doesn't covet any penny in it." ”

Chen Hongmi nodded and motioned for Hua Xue to continue. He still knows Tang Bohu's deeds, after all, he is a generation of talented people with great reputation. Tang Bohu bought the Peach Blossom Nunnery or borrowed money to build it, which shows poverty. In his later years, he also sold paintings for a living, and I never heard that he had exchanged unknown treasures for money.

"The owner of the nunnery was originally a master of calligraphy and painting, and once encountered a strange landscape painting, which did not conform to the rules of composition, so he devoted himself to the study of that picture, and finally got something. It turned out that it was not a landscape painting at all, it was originally a map, and the landscape in the picture was just drawn by later generations in order to cover up the useful lines. The owner of the nunnery relied on his profound painting skills to copy the original map, and removed all the discordant strokes added by later generations, and only copied the original line, and then obtained the map in your hand. ”

"And what kind of treasure is this painting, do you know, have you seen it?"

"The students have never been there, and neither has the owner of the nunnery. Because this place is actually underground and needs to be excavated, the owner of the nunnery is just curious about history, so he has no interest in actually digging it. But he is an old man, and he can be regarded as understanding the origin of this treasure. ”

"Wait......" Chen Hongmi closed his eyes and thought for a while, then hesitated, "Do you want this official to rob the tomb?" ”

"Not exactly." Hua Xue's drawings are based on the historical materials of archaeological excavations in later generations, and the historical materials he has are directly copied databases, so they are very detailed, where are the tombs, where are the gold and silver, and where are the other burial goods, all are clear and clear. When drawing the map, Hua Xue directly marked the location of the gold and silver in detail, avoiding the location that might touch the tomb, so if you really excavate according to the picture drawn, what you find must be gold and silver. The only thing to worry about is the change of terrain, but fortunately, there has been no earthquake in Suzhou that has damaged the terrain, so the terrain has not changed much.

Hua Xue then explained: "After studying this picture, the owner found that the markings in the picture are very detailed and clear. If it were a tomb, no one would have recorded it like that. So the basic judgment is the treasure. But there may be a problem with the origin of the treasure itself, otherwise it would not have been hidden. According to the style and age of the painting, the owner of the nunnery judged that the person who painted the picture should be in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty. Extrapolating forward, it is likely that when Wu Yue descended to the Song Dynasty, a certain magnate of Wu Yue Kingdom hid the treasures he obtained. These treasures are likely to be secretly found in the Three Kingdoms of Wu, the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty, the Liang and Chen Dynasties, a total of six dynasties in the vicinity of Suzhou, so the owner of the nunnery called it the treasure of the Six Dynasties. ”

"Why can't it be Wu Yueguo's own money?"

"Although Wu Yueguo's surname is Qian, he has been simple in the past dynasties, and he was oppressed by the Northern Song Dynasty, and the money is not enough, how can there be a reason for the rich to hide? What's more, Wu Yueguo's money will be hidden in Hangzhou, or directly hidden in Leifeng Tower, not in Suzhou. ”

"There's some truth to that."

"Do you know how much treasure there is?"

"The students don't know, but the adults might as well copy a sketch of the drawings with only a few hidden treasures, and send a few reliable people to dig in a few of them at noon to see how much they have gained. As for the adults themselves, it is not advisable to go out of the city in person. Otherwise, don't say that the students are the dead of thieves who come to lure adults out of the city. ”

"You are also thoughtful, this drawing really cannot be easily displayed, and the official must not be lightly moved."

Chen Hongmi took pen and ink and copied the key parts of the drawings, and the rest of the drawings could be roughly seen to be the corresponding location outside Suzhou. He also recruited a few officials, and instructed a confidant to do this, and so, and lead a few people to dig up treasures.

After Chen Hongmi's arrangements were made, he asked Hua Xue again: "How do you think these belongings are distributed?" ”

"Adults should have a case in their hearts, and students have the courage to make a few immature suggestions."

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"There are four uses, and they are prioritized."

"Which four uses?"

"The first use, to pay back taxes, this is urgent. It is a matter of whether the adults still have the right to dispose of the use of the silver, and whether the elders still have the same blue sky as the adults, and the wealth is moving, and if it is not a person like the adults who are dedicated to the people, the students dare not let them know that there is such a treasure at will, otherwise it will be a curse or a blessing. ”

Chen Hongmi listened to Hua Xue's compliment, and was not complacent, but smiled bitterly: "Although there is no lack of compliments in what you say, what you say is not unreasonable. However, now there are many honest people in the courts, especially in the state capitals and counties. After all, years after year, natural disasters, droughts, locust plagues, floods, heavy snowfall, from the local government to the imperial court, how can there be any oil and water? It is said that someone paid to bribe the officials before, and bought a fat poor in the county, but after going there, he found that he couldn't even collect taxes, so he went to work directly. Since then, those who want to make money are no longer officials. ”

"The second use, drought resistance and harvest protection, this is the most important. Students have studied the celestial phenomena a little, and they dare not say that they know exactly when it will rain and snow, but they should be sure of which year it will rain more and less rain. The students dare to assert that this year's drought and flood are only similar to last year's and are not heavy, and they must accumulate enough food this year. Otherwise, next year's severe drought will probably lead to many hungry people. ”

This weather is recorded in the historical records. Hua Xue deliberately compared the previous astronomical records of the three worlds and found that the weather was no different. Maybe it's because this large-scale natural disaster is said to have originated from sunspots, and the butterfly effect of the earth can't affect the sun?

Without waiting for Chen Hongmi's reaction, Hua Xue's face was heavy, and she continued: "What's more serious is that from next year, the natural disaster will last for at least five years. Then the drought may ease in the sixth year, but I am afraid that there will be too many casualties after the disaster and another epidemic outbreak, and that will be the real disaster. After that, the situation may subside, but it will be at least twelve or thirteen years before it can fully return to normal. ”

Chen Hongmiao was originally sitting and talking to Hua Xue, but when he heard this, he stood up in shock, and a cold air went straight up the heavy building, cold to the heart. One year of natural disasters is enough for the people to make a living, but five years of drought will not lead to misery?

For the imperial court, rumors about natural disasters are more hateful than lying about military information, and once they are verified, they will not be tolerated. Warnings of natural disasters have always been more shocking than military situations. How can soldiers resist natural disasters?

Chen Hongmi originally felt that Hua Xue's advice was quite reliable, and he had already believed a little bit in the treasure he said, but this early warning of natural disasters certainly frightened Chen Hongmi, but when he came back to his senses a little, it made Chen Hongmi suspicious: Hua Xue, a child, what ability does she have to predict natural disasters? Isn't this a lie? Whether it's a treasure map or a gossip to confuse the public, isn't it the most common tactic used by scammers? The child in front of him, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, was he deceived by someone else, or was he assigned by whom to deceive the government? What is the purpose of him or them?
