Chapter 222: Secrets in Ancient Books

Zhu Yu didn't buy the villa immediately, he just felt that the villa was well decorated and the location was quite good.

Although he has several villas, Zhu Yu doesn't mind having more. Some money is spent and is safer than staying in the account.

Of course, at this time, it can be regarded as an investment, but Zhu Yu himself feels that this investment may lose money.

Hawkins has learned a lesson, this time he didn't open a sky-high price, and Zhu Yu didn't immediately agree to buy it, this kind of thing, I have to go back and discuss it.

Naturally, it was discussed with Cathy.

Back at the villa, the ancient books have been moved here, and Cathy is supervising the installation of constant temperature and humidity equipment by the workers.

Before Zhu Yu came, he asked Cathy to buy equipment. Because of the money, the equipment was delivered quickly and the installation was also very careful.

Zhu Yu handed over the information of the villa to Cathy and said to her:

"I have some interest in this villa if I can buy it...... You help give a suggestion. ”

Cathy nodded in agreement.

In the afternoon, the equipment in the room was installed, and those things were put in, Zhu Yu looked around and nodded with satisfaction.

Among these things, the most important is naturally the batch of bamboo slips - although it is said that there are actually thirty-four sticks, seven of which are still broken.

However, there are words on the roots, even if Zhu Yu opens the eye of heaven, he can't see it very clearly, or with his knowledge, he doesn't know much.

Zhu Yu thought about it, took three photos of bamboo slips with his mobile phone, and sent them to Professor Wen.

Wen Lao's name is Wen Hai, and after repairing Zhu Yu's "Yongle Canon" last time, the two established a relationship.

Although Wen Lao is old, he plays well on his mobile phone, and he has v letters, which are updated occasionally, so it is easy for Zhu Yu to send photos.

After posting the photo, Zhu Yu left a sentence:

"Elder Wen, I recently received some bamboo slips and want to ask someone to repair them, I wonder if there is anyone who can introduce them to me?"

After sending it over, Zhu Yu didn't care anymore and began to read those ancient books.

Xixia Wen glanced at it and threw it away. I can't get used to it.

The Mongolian ones are also put aside, and they are also incomprehensible.

Some of the Chinese characters can be recognized.

Zhu Yu looked at it and found that something was wrong - many of these Chinese characters are materials, not books!

At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, or before the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, a Mongol army exchanged some letters with Hala and Lin, as well as some common documents in this army.

Because this army not only had Mongolian cavalry, but also a large number of Han troops, there are both Mongolian and Chinese texts in the document.

Seeing that it was these things, Zhu Yu was a little disappointed.

It seems that there is not much value left.

It may be possible to study the specific history of the time through this, but it is impossible to sell it for a good price.

Knowing that this was not of high value, Zhu Yu casually picked up a vacuum bag, took out the booklet inside and looked at it.

Although it is not precious, Zhu Yu still wears gloves.

The booklet tells the story of this Mongol army going south to Jindi, robbing all the way, threatening to "drive out" to conquer prefectures and counties, and sending the looted gold and other valuables to Hala and Lin.

At that time, the Great Khan of Mongolia was Meng Ge, and he had not yet been killed in the Diaoyu City.

The content of the document is simple and easy to understand, but in Zhu Yu's opinion, the words are full of blood and tears.

I put it away, put it in a bag, sealed it, and took another copy.

After reading two books in a row, Zhu Yu had the urge to burn these things.

What is written in the booklet is really that human life is just a number......

Suddenly, his eyes lit up!

In the last book, it is mainly written about how the seizures from the prefectures and counties were sent to Hala and Lin, the then Mongol Khan city.

One of them was not delivered, and a sandstorm was encountered at a distance of 150 miles from Hara and Lin.

The team delivering the valuables sent a messenger to Hala Horin, saying that the team was temporarily sheltering from the wind in a natural cave in the mountains, and that they would wait for the storm to stop before going to Hala Horin.

But then the wind stopped, and after a few days the procession had not arrived, and the messenger led people to look for it, and found that there were no caves at that time, and they were all filled with sandstorms, and no trace could be found.

There are a few more sentences at the back of the record, but they are all follow-up traces, but they were not found in the end.

Zhu Yu was faintly moved.

This, it may be true!

After all, it is a bit expensive to forge so many documents from more than 1,000 years ago, and to deceive yourself with such a piece of information in the middle.

And Zhu Yu has also heard those legends.

At that time, every time the Mongol cavalry attacked a city, they slaughtered or drove the people in the city to the next city. The gold and other items in the city were transported to the city of Khan, and then the Great Khan rewarded the chiefs of the tribes.

At that time, the whole of Eurasia was trampled by the Mongol cavalry, how much gold did they loot?

Where does that gold end up?

Are many like this one and end up buried in the ground?

Zhu Yu put the booklet in a bag and carried it out of the collection room.

He needed to get a good preview of the information about the Mongol Khan city at that time.

Anyway, if you have nothing to do, you should find something to do for yourself.

This study came to night.

I really let him find something.

Hala and Lin, in the territory of the present-day Mongolian state.

And the buried gold delivery team is most likely also in Mongolia.

While Zhu Yu was studying the route, Cathy asked him to go down for dinner.

After dinner, Zhu Yu now felt that he needed to learn Mongolian?

After all, the real-time translation system on the webpage is unlikely to translate Mongolian Vultures, after all, when Möngke was still the Great Khan, the Mongolian script was Vultures.

This Mongolian word is also used by Mongolians now.

There was some information in the Chinese character documents, and Zhu Yu felt that it would be better if he could compare those Mongolian military orders and letters.

After eating, when Zhu Yu was about to continue his studies, he received a call from Professor Wen Hai.

"Zhu Yu, do you have a bamboo slip in your hand?" Wen Hai's voice was eager, "Really? ”

"It's true." Zhu Yu didn't expect Wen Hai to be in such a hurry, he immediately determined that this bamboo slip might not be simple, but thinking about such a bamboo slip, it shouldn't be simple.

"Where is that? Can it be delivered to China? ”

"I'm afraid not." Zhu Yu said, "The bamboo slips are not well preserved, some of them have been broken, and I hope to find an expert to help me repair them." ”

"Where did the bamboo slips come from......" Wen Hai asked tentatively.

"I bought it. Bought from the hands of an American businessman. Zhu Yu explained, "He said that a tomb robber robbed a large tomb, and there were some bronze and gold objects in it at that time. But those things were sold, and only these things remained. ”

Wen Hai lamented - this tomb robber is so hateful!

But the bamboo slips were bought by Zhu Yu, and he couldn't persuade Zhu Yu to donate them.

The last time Zhu Yu asked him to photocopy the content in it, conduct research, and publish an article, it was already very good.

But......

Wen Hai thought of one thing and immediately felt happy.

Zhu Yu is not a stingy person, although the things can't be taken back, but after the restoration, these things can be photographed.

You don't have to be the original to study something, right?

As soon as the train of thought was opened, he suddenly felt that the world was wide, and Wen Hai said:

"Mr. Zhu, I have a friend who is retired, and he used to participate in the restoration of Qin Jian in Sleeping Tiger Land, so I think he can do this job."

"No problem, please help me invite, I will pay for the intermediary fees, repair costs, and transaction costs!"

Zhu Yu felt that professional people were also needed to do it. He had some understanding of Qin Jian's situation in Sleeping Tiger Land, and those Janes were no longer the same at that time, but after the repair of professionals, the information was extracted from it.

Zhu Yu also saw on the Internet the work of introducing the restoration of ancient slips - a bamboo slip that has been twisted into a lump and looks like a hemp rope, after being soaked in a special potion, slowly unfolds, and then repaired through other processes, basically restored.

Awesome!

Early the next morning, Zhu Yu received a call from Wen Hai, who said that the professor named Liang Zijie and his apprentice would leave for New York tomorrow and ask Zhu Yu to send someone to pick him up.

Zhu Yu was very happy.

After this matter was resolved, Zhu Yu continued to study those documents.

He had sorted out the general context of the papers. Some of these documents were used by the Han army to record marching matters. Remembering everything big and small, it should be in response to the inquiries and inspections of the Mongolian nobles.

Some of them were used by the Han army to communicate with the Mongolian cavalry and other armies, and the Mongolian cavalry did not care much about some military things that were not very secret, or that there were secret things.

They marched as fast as the wind, and they didn't care about the gains and losses of one city at a time, so they were not very secretive about their whereabouts.

Therefore, Zhu Yu found a lot of information about the cities that were beaten down and the whereabouts of the gold and property looted from these clues.

Some of them were given to officers such as commanders, others were gathered together for supplies, and many more were transported to places like Hala and Lin, and the source of this Mongol army, the tribal settlements.

In addition to the previous more clear place where there should be gold remains, Zhu Yu found at least three more gold burial sites that were mentioned.

Of these three points, two are on the territory of Mongolia and one on the territory of Russia.

It was really unexpected by Zhu Yu.

However, the place names are all ancient place names, and the scope is relatively large, so if you want to find them, you really need a lot of research and plenty of time.

But Zhu Yu really has time for this.

Liang Zijie is 66 years old, and his student Dr. He Chunming has graduated and has been working as Leung Zijie's assistant.

On the plane, Liang Zijie asked He Chunming:

"Chunming, you have seen those photos, can you determine what period the bamboo slips are?"

He Chunming wore glasses and looked very gentle. He pushed his glasses and said:

"Teacher, based on the color, length and width of the bamboo slip and the faint handwriting on it, I deduced that this should be a bamboo slip from the Warring States Period, as for which country it is, it depends on the content above."

Liang Zijie nodded with satisfaction, he had similar inferences, but he was more certain than He Chunming.

When he arrived in New York, Zhu Yu personally greeted him and brought people to the villa.

Seeing the villa where Zhu Yu lived, a trace of envy flashed under He Chunming's glasses.

This person is so young and has no aristocratic temperament, how can he live in such a high-end villa?

Zhu Yu didn't know that He Chunming was guessing his identity, so he enthusiastically let the two into the villa, and then asked Cathy to call someone to dinner.

Zhu Yu has become accustomed to this kind of living atmosphere of having someone to cook and take care of.

Liang Zijie didn't feel anything, his mind was on the bamboo slips, but He Chunming had a trace of jealousy in his previous envy!

Think about how much you have always been a child of the sky, you have been a master all the way, how many opponents you have defeated, and finally succeeded in becoming a disciple and assistant of Professor Liang, a big man in the industry.

I thought it was a success, but compared to this young man, I can be regarded as a working boy.

Unwilling.

Of course, only a little.

Then she threw herself into the food, and Cathy invited the chef this time in order to satisfy the guests.

After the meal, Zhu Yu asked Liang Zijie to rest, but the old man insisted on seeing the bamboo slips.

Zhu Yu agreed and took them to the collection room.

Seeing the bamboo slips that were placed in the vacuum bag at random, Old Man Liang really stomped his feet angrily:

"Tyrannical creatures! How can such a precious thing be put so casually? ”

He turned his head to He Chunming and said:

"Chunming, hurry up, prepare the repair solution, we have to soak these bamboo slips in it as soon as possible."

Zhu Yu admired Mr. Liang's passion for work, persuaded him, but did not persuade him, so he let him go.

In order to repair the bamboo slips, Zhu Yu vacated a house next door and gave it to Liang Zijie and He Chunming for use.

He told the two:

"You can't bring mobile phones and devices with camera functions when repairing, otherwise the cooperation will be suspended."

Although Liang Zijie was a little unhappy, he also agreed.

He had heard Wen Hai talk about Zhu Yu's personality before, and he knew that this matter could not be rushed.

He Chunming seemed to be insulted and wanted to get angry, but was stopped by Liang Zijie.

Now it's all about nothing, and we'll talk about fixing it.

Seeing that the bamboo slips were really stretched slowly like they had seen in the video, Zhu Yu smiled happily.

It's amazing!

Without disturbing the work of the two people, Zhu Yu quietly retreated.

Cathy came over, and Zhu Yu asked:

"Is the guest's room cleaned up?"

Cathy nodded.

"Then leave someone here in case they need to call someone. Also, when they come out, take them to their rooms. Fruits, drinks, etc. should be prepared in the room. ”

For such a real expert, Zhu Yu has always maintained a high degree of respect.

This is restoring the history of Chinese civilization!

Because there is more important work here, Zhu Yu did not leave.

There were two addresses in the information of those gold strips, so he sent the addresses to Ran Jie and asked him to go over and reconnoitre.

After half a day's work, Ran Jie came over to report:

"One of these two places has been bulldozed and built into a commercial building, with a radius of several kilometers, and there have been four major constructions in 30 years."

Zhu Yu was a little disappointed, which showed that a batch of gold had no chance with him.

"There is also a location because it is relatively partial, and the building is still the original building, but it has undergone a relatively large renovation."

Ran Jie sent the photo taken by his mobile phone to Zhu Yu.

Zhu Yu looked at those photos and was a little unsure.

The original address was indicated as a guesthouse. It is still a hotel, but both the façade and the exterior wall have undergone major changes.

I'm afraid that there are not many changes inside.

Will the gold still be hidden inside?

Zhu Yu is really not sure about this!

But in any case, you need to make sure!
