Feng Shui Emperor

Chapter 104 Treasure
Qin Feng's expression is still a bit complicated.

After watching Chen Suying for a few seconds, his heart trembled.

In the end, Qin Feng sighed and said, "Hey, you've won."

Qin Feng's voice was a little helpless.

In fact, it is not true that Chen Suying really tricked him.

However, the records in this file box are quite different from what Chen Suying said before.

The current Qin Feng knows exactly what the so-called treasure digging is about.

The sheepskin scroll treasure map said it belonged to the Chen family.

But this treasure was not buried by the ancestors of the Chen family.

It was obtained by the ancestors of the Chen family by chance.

Anyone who has followed history knows that there are countless legends about treasures in Chinese history.

The most famous of them is the treasure of Wang Mang.

And what is recorded in the parchment scroll of the Chen family is Wang Mang's treasure.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, when Wang Mang came to power, he carried out the reform of the currency system and the nationalization of gold. It was illegal for the private possession of gold.

During the Western Han Dynasty, the use of gold was very common and the amount was huge. For example, Wang Mang hired a princess as a present of [-] gold, and the emperor rewarded him with tens of thousands of gold.

When Wang Mang was killed, there was still 30 gold deficient, but the whereabouts of this batch of gold was unknown after Wang Mang was killed.

And this is what the Chen family's sheepskin scroll grasped.

Qin Feng knew that at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the national statistical population reached a peak of 2 million in the second year of the first year of the Yuan Dynasty (AD 5959), accounting for a quarter of the world's population, and the country's finances were quite solid.

At that time, gold weighed 248 catty, about 1 grams, and was worth 350 copper coins. The average property of a middle-level family was 75 coins, or ten catties of gold. Calculated at [-] yuan per gram of gold, it was equivalent to [-] yuan today.

When Wang Mang took the throne as regent, according to the records of "Hanshu·Shihuozhi", "The wealth of all the officials in the government treasury is as rich as it is in the world, and Mang has it in one dynasty."

Wang Mang announced the implementation of the state-owned policy of gold and issued a ban. Gold is not allowed to be privately hidden from the princes and below, and must be sent to the treasury in exchange for equivalent items. However, the promise of equivalent exchange has not been fulfilled. Ping five thousand" copper wrong knife.

In just a few years, hundreds of tons of gold accumulated by the Chinese people for thousands of years were forcibly looted and stored in Wang Mang's palace.

Private property was not protected by law, and the channels for folk wealth accumulation were blocked, resulting in social turmoil, and various rebel armies approached Chang'an.

In the Weiyang Palace at this time, there were still 60 gold boxes that stored 70 catties of gold, and there were several boxes in each of the other four places, totaling about 170 catties, equivalent to [-] tons of gold.

A few days later, the Weiyang Palace was burned down and collapsed, and the whereabouts of Wang Mang's gold was unknown.

Treasure hunters of later generations believed that if the gold stored by Wang Mang was divided up by the citizens of Chang'an who killed the palace and the rebel army, the gold scattered among the people would still circulate in the market soon.

However, since the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, gold suddenly withdrew from circulation. Gold was not only rare among the people, but also almost disappeared as a reward from the imperial court. Chinese scholars have been investigating the reasons for this for 2000 years.

Some people say that gold is used to shape the golden body of Buddha statues. Some people say that the places where gold is produced in China have been completely excavated. When hoarding gold, some people even quoted Gresham's law of "bad money drives out good money" to explain that people collect gold and use poor-quality copper coins.

However, all these gradual factors cannot explain the historical fact that a large amount of gold suddenly disappeared as a whole and never came back again. Throughout the records of the past dynasties, only Su Shi, a writer in the Song Dynasty, seemed to be aware of the truth of the matter. It reads: "When Wang Mang was defeated, the gods of the treasures were unknown, and they returned to Shanze."

Therefore, some treasure researchers in later generations analyzed and believed that Wang Mang's gold should have been transferred by water transport through the imperial city waterway during the war. The area from Tianyu to Heishuiyu of Xianyou Temple, but this statement has not been confirmed, and Wang Mang's treasure is still an eternal mystery.

And this place should be the land of the Qinling Mountains.

These are all recorded on the file box.

Similarly, there are more records in the documents about the treasures excavated several times after the ancestors of the Chen family got the scroll 600 years ago.

The Chen family was able to obtain this parchment 600 years ago. Obviously, the Chen family 600 years ago was considered a powerful person.

At least somewhat capable.

But in the past 600 years, the Chen family has excavated a total of eight times, but each time ended in failure.

A place that knows the hidden treasure, with a family that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years, it took 600 years to dig eight times, all of which ended in failure.

This actually made things very clear.

This treasure is not easy to dig.

There are dangers everywhere.

This is also why Qin Feng said that Chen Suying cheated him.

You know, in the past 600 years, in order to keep the sheepskin scroll secret, the Chen family has also sent disciples of the Chen family to learn Feng Shui techniques and step into the industry of Feng Shui masters.

But the result is the same, still a failure.

According to the information in the file box.

This treasure of Wang Mang is an emperor's tomb constructed by Feng Shui array.

To put it more bluntly, it is a thousand-year-old tomb.

Because the thousand-year-old tomb is in the deep mountains of the Qinling Mountains, the terrain is dangerous.

For the sake of confidentiality, it is naturally impossible for the Chen family to send a large number of mechanical tools and personnel to dig.

Then naturally they can only enter the ancient tomb in the normal way.

But these eight times of entry have caused heavy losses to the Chen family.

On one side is 170 tons of gold.

One aspect is confidentiality.

This is also a torment for the Chen family.

What is the concept of 170 tons of gold?
Assuming that it is calculated at 300 yuan per gram, one ton is [-] million yuan.

And 170 tons is 510 billion.

That's a lot of money for a family.

This is also why Qin Fengming knew that Chen Suying cheated him, so he still chose to continue.

Ten percent!
That is at least more than 50 billion.

With this amount of money, Qin Feng can completely use the medicinal bath to quench his body.

The money is moving.

It's true that Qin Feng is a feng shui master, but no one stipulates that a feng shui master can't like money.

You know, like Qin Feng, once the medicinal bath quenching is turned on and resources are used to build up the cultivation base, the money spent will be a huge number.

"Old Chen, the conditions are still as we said before, but the ugly words come first. If your Chen family doesn't come as agreed, then don't talk to me about friendship." Qin Feng said cautiously.

It was previously agreed with Chen Suying that if there are enough treasures, all items except gold will belong to Qin Feng.

If there is only gold, then Qin Feng will take [-]% of the gold.

Wang Mang's treasure is the most special treasure in Chinese history, and it is also a treasure with a clear amount of gold in the legendary records.

So Qin Feng will declare again now.
