Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 469 The First Pot of Gold
knowledge is power.

Chief Lei is worthy of being a technical expert in the engineering field of the Qing Dynasty. He started as an academician at an absolute level. Under his step-by-step guidance, everyone walked through the tunnel without any surprises or dangers.

The two walls of this tunnel leading to Yongzheng's coffin are covered with various Buddhist murals, and there are also a lot of characters, but they are not Chinese characters or Manchurian characters. It looks like Tibetan characters on the RMB.

Jia Liu has no artistic talent, and he is not interested in these murals, and the Buddhist figures on the portraits are a bit scary, so he will not take a second glance at a glance, so as not to be seen by the King Kongs as the one who took the house, causing diplomatic relations among the three realms trouble.

On the other hand, because of guilty conscience, Sun Dianying could at least make up a descendant of Sun Chengzong to avenge his ancestors. What did he make up?
Since the underground palace has been closed for only 40 years, there is no need to worry about the rapid oxidation of artworks caused by sudden opening.

Jia Liu still has the concept of cultural relics protection. Except for the gold and silver objects that can be directly cashed in to solve the current financial difficulties of the Qing Dynasty, he intends to leave other things for the old man and his wife to enjoy.

The further you go in, the lower the temperature of the underground palace, probably how many degrees below zero.

The sudden drop in temperature increased the eerie feeling of the underground palace by 40.00%, making the guilty Jia Liu feel that his hands and feet were not flexible.

"grown ups!"

Fan Wei put on the mink fur coat prepared in advance and put it on Mr. Guijia. Sure enough, with the blessing of the mink fur coat, Jia Liudun felt much warmer, and at the same time felt that his aura had returned.

Glancing at the dark front, he shrunk his neck, and was about to ask Mr. Lei, who might be a descendant of the "Xiang Lei" family, how long it would be before he arrived at the coffin of the late emperor, and Zamuer, who was holding a torch in front, suddenly " "Yeah!" The cry made Jia Liu's fake braid almost stand up.

Shuan Zhu also felt a pain in his back, the young master's hand that had been on his back was grabbing his flesh.

"Gold, it's gold, a lot, a lot!"

Zamur's shout made Jia Liu, whose whole body turned to the direction of the exit, subconsciously stopped, turned around sharply and pushed Fan Wei and Baozhu away, and jumped to the front in three steps at a time.

All monsters, ghosts and snakes are as insignificant as ants in front of gold.

Taking the torch in Demu's hand, he pulled it in the air and said excitedly, "Where is the gold?"

"Your Excellency, it's right under your feet!"

Zamul stared at the ground with bright eyes.

Hearing this, Jia Liu hurriedly shook the torch to the ground, good guy, his dog eyes were almost blinded by the golden light.

The ground under his feet is actually covered with gold bricks!
Can't see at a glance!
"Knife!"

Excited, Jia Liu returned the torch to Demu, took the knife handed by Zamul and pried it on the ground.

But the craftsman's technique was so good that the tip of the knife was inserted into the gap, but he couldn't pry it up.

"Mom, come on, someone, go and find me a hammer drill!"

Jia Liu was furious, but the surrounding area was quiet.

He raised his head, and found that Queenie and Mr. Lei from the Department of Internal Affairs were looking at him in shock.

Jia Liu realized that he had been exposed, and his expression suddenly became unkind. Just as he was about to ask Kui Shilang whether to go with him or the late emperor, Kui Shilang suddenly "plopped" in front of him, pointing to the ground with certainty. Jin Zhuan said: "Forehead son-in-law, it's gold, that's right!"

He also said that these gold bricks were made at the request of Marsai, a university scholar, and more than [-] gold bricks were used in the entire Tailing Underground Palace construction process. The gold bricks of the Qing Dynasty were not solid gold, but gold-clad crafts. The value of each small gold brick was equivalent to one cent and seven cents of silver.

"One cent and seven cents?"

Jia Liu didn't believe it, because the gold bricks under his feet were all big gold bricks, even if they were covered with gold, they couldn't be worth a penny.

According to Queenie, more than [-] yuan is only a few thousand taels, which is not enough for his business trip expenses.

fuck.

"My lord, the Linqing gold bricks are used for the foundation of tunnels and walls. As far as I know, apart from the more than [-] pieces of Linqing gold bricks, there are many other solid large gold bricks in the underground palace. These are the gold bricks that your lord saw. brick,"

Queenie pointed to the large gold bricks on the ground, and said that from here until the coffin of the late emperor, the uppermost layer is made of this kind of solid gold bricks, and the foundation below is the small Linqing bricks.

Jia Liu's eyes lit up again.

If what Queenie said is true, then his first pot of gold in Tailing will be settled.

Currently, one tael of gold on the market can be exchanged for six taels of silver, and a catty of gold can be exchanged for more than ninety taels of silver. Gold is inherently heavy. If these big gold bricks are really solid, they will really be worthless.

"How many solid gold bricks are there?"

Quantity is always Jia Liu's biggest concern.

"This,"

But Queenie didn't know the exact number, so she quickly got up and pulled the terrified Chief Lei: "Tell me, how many big gold bricks are there in the underground palace!"

"Five, 500 yuan."

Master Lei's voice was trembling with fear. If the two soldiers hadn't drawn their swords at him suddenly, they might have run away.

"500 yuan?"

Jia Liu only felt that there were a few more small solar heaters beside him, warming him up in spring.

I happily tapped on the big gold bricks with a knife, and the melodious sound made people very fascinated. Then I started to measure with my feet, and found that the gold bricks on the ground were all square, and the length and width were two feet square.

"Two feet is about 67 centimeters, 67 times 67, six six is ​​six, seven seven is 49, well, almost a gold brick has more than 3600 square centimeters,"

How much is 500 yuan?

Jia Liu couldn't figure it out, his eyes fell on the face of Mr. Lei who was already pale, and he went straight to the topic: "How much does a gold brick weigh?"

Master Lei was stupefied. How could the Admiral of the Nine Gates and the Minister of the Ministry of War look like a robber who robbed the imperial tomb?

"Say it!"

Bao Zhu pushed the blade forward, and the icy chill from his neck made Master Lei wake up, and said with difficulty: "At the beginning, these gold bricks were all custom-made, I remember that each gold brick weighed about a hundred catties. "

"So heavy?"

This time, it wasn't just Jia Liu who couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, Fan Wei, Bao Zhu and the others all had their mouths crooked.

Five hundred times one hundred, Jia Liu can calculate it, it is [-] catties of gold.

Calculated based on the exchange rate of one catty of gold for more than ninety taels of silver, this batch of large gold bricks alone is worth more than four million taels of silver.Coupled with the other ancillary facilities and burial objects of the imperial mausoleum, the total project cost of several million taels of the Tongtai Mausoleum was justified.

He paced back and forth, and finally patted Queenie on the shoulder: "Five yuan for you."

Quinn was stunned, and blurted out: "The use of so many gold bricks in the underground palace is a bit excessive. I think it can be replaced with gold bricks."

"Is there any problem with the craftsmanship?"

"No, absolutely not!"

"Okay, let your son work as an errand in the yamen of our infantry commander later on."

".Thank you foreboss!"

His eyes fell on Mr. Lei's face: "You will be responsible for getting these gold bricks out, and I will give you three pieces. Later, your family will live in another place."

"Officer,"

Master Lei hesitated and hesitated, but finally agreed to the condition reluctantly.

　There are really 500 large gold bricks in Tailing Mausoleum. If you don’t believe me, you can go in and have a look. 0.0
