Is this gold!

As we all know, gold is a precious metal with very stable chemical properties and does not oxidize like other metals.

That is to say, even in such a humid and harsh environment, gold can be preserved very well for tens of millions of years. It is because of this characteristic that gold stands out from many metals and has become the currency standard of all dynasties and even the entire world.

The twenty-first century has not changed.

And the reason why the surface of this "hill" appears sooty black.

It is probably because accumulated dirt has adhered to it under the action of moisture, or because the groundwater contains a small amount of acidic substances, which has caused some slight corrosion on the surface of the gold.

Of course, it's just a hair-thin layer on the surface. Otherwise, how could Wu Liang easily pick out the golden color underneath just by picking at it with his nails?

"Young and talented brother, what should I do with these copper coins?"

Cao Chen didn't know why, but he still looked at the massive copper coins in front of him and asked in a daze.

Wu Liang calmed down his emotions, and calmly turned around and asked a heart-wrenching question: "Marquis, can copper coins still circulate in the market now?"

"this……"

Cao Chen was stunned when he heard this, then showed a heartbroken look on his face, and reluctantly confirmed what Wu Liang had learned, "The people in Chang'an and Luoyang were harmed by Dong's thieves for their small money. No one was willing to accept copper coins for a long time, and most of them bartered

, it may still be available in some remote areas, but it’s also very limited.”

"You are talking about five baht coins. What if it is Qin Banliang?"

Wu Liang asked again.

"Half two?"

Cao Zhen had never read "Historical Records" and had no idea about the coins that circulated hundreds of years ago, and he looked surprised.

Wu Liang didn't waste any time. He bent down and picked up a few copper coins from the pile of money and handed them to Cao Zhen. He pointed out to him the two small seal characters on the coins by the light of the fire: "Marquis, please take a look. The one on the right is 'half'."

The one on the left is 'Liang'. These are the half-liang coins that followed the Qin system in the early Western Han Dynasty. Can these coins still be circulated today?"

"this……"

Cao Zhen's heart had already turned cold. He frowned at the two small words, and even rubbed them a few times unwillingly, but half a liang was half a liang. He was not a gambling god.

The character becomes five baht.

What's more, even five baht is extremely difficult to use to supplement food and salary now...

Although those soldiers were not highly educated, they could still understand what Wu Liang was saying.

Everyone, look at me and I at you, the excited expressions gradually solidified on our faces.

At this moment, everyone present felt extremely miserable.

Could it be that after staying up so many nights, expending so much effort, and killing so many people, we finally unearthed such a pile of worthless scraps and scraps for what purpose?

Seeing that Cao Zhen and everyone else had deathly expressions on their faces, Wu Liang snickered again.

Now that the emotions have been laid in place, if we let them survive the desperate situation at this time, the surprise will be doubled, and his value will be more fully reflected.

With this in mind, Wu Liang pointed to the "hill" behind him and said, "Marquis, what do you think this is?"

"What?"

Cao Zhen looked away from the few coins in his hand with some difficulty, looked at where Wu Liang was pointing, and asked in a dull and weak voice.

Wu Liang grinned, took out the copper dagger he had pinned on his back, and lightly scratched the "hill".

When the layer of black material on the surface was scraped away, the golden color hidden inside immediately shone brightly under the firelight.

"This, this, this, this is..."

Cao Chen's pupils shrank suddenly, and he involuntarily raised his arm to point at the "hill". He opened his mouth "here" for a long time but could not even say a complete sentence, and even his feet were still moving back in disbelief.

.

All the soldiers' eyes widened instantly.

Although some people still don't quite understand what happened, the dazzling golden color and Cao Zhen's reaction are obvious to all, and what is underneath cannot be underestimated.

"gold."

Wu Liang said calmly.

"!!!"

When they heard these two words, everyone's bodies stiffened involuntarily, as if they had accidentally stepped on a switch.

gold!

A hill made of gold!

Isn’t this the golden mountain that only appears in legends and stories!?

There is no doubt that poverty can not only limit the imagination of modern people, but also the people of the late Eastern Han Dynasty. It is usually difficult for ordinary people to imagine what it was like in the basement of the "Big Tiger" house.

Wu Liang looked at the crowd and decided to give them some time to accept it without disturbing them.

To be honest, Wu Liang had previously discovered that this was actually a golden mountain, and when Cao Zhen and others were completely unaware of it, Wu Liang had the idea of ​​taking it as his own.

But after a little consideration, he finally decided to hand it over to Cao Cao and hold on to this thigh first.

The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying the jade.

Taking history as a guide, in troubled times, it may not be a good thing for an ordinary person to own a large amount of assets.

This batch of gold is left in his hands. As long as there is a little bit of news, all kinds of powerful people will immediately come to his door. Various methods of plundering and robbery are endless. If you are not careful, your life will be lost, and even your family will be implicated.

There was no room for resistance at all.

Of course, he can also choose to use gold to recruit troops and buy horses. He does not seek to compete with various princes on the battlefield, but only seeks to be wise and protect himself.

But "the tree wants to be still but the wind doesn't stop." Once something starts, you can't just protect yourself wisely if you want to. Someone will definitely involve you in the war, and they will not stop fighting.

And throughout the history of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there are countless heroes such as Lu Bu, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Pang Tong, Zhou Yu, Dian Wei... among them, none of them are smarter or braver than him, but the ending is...

how?

Even for a world-famous traitor like Cao Cao, wouldn't there be a time when he was defeated and took the Huarong Way?

Therefore, the most important thing for people is to see themselves clearly.

Coming from a time of peace, he neither knows the art of war nor has invincible martial arts. He has never even seen the dead... The gaps in many aspects can only be made up by a familiarity with history. He really wants to run away.

Leading troops in war may not be as good as Zhao Kuo, the most famous keyboard warrior in history, who died in the end without knowing how.

So, wouldn’t it be nice to give full play to your professional expertise, be an indispensable man behind a successful man, and live the adventurous life of tomb robbing that you most longed for in your previous life?

the most important is……

As far as Wu Liang knew, there was not only the tomb of King Xiao of Liang and Liu Wu in Dangshan, but the entire tomb of King Liang of Han Dynasty.

Among them, the most famous tomb of King Liang Xiao and Queen in the archaeological world in later generations, "the first stone mausoleum in the world", is hidden in the foothills next door, and the tomb of Liu Mai, King of the Communist Party of Liang, is also nearby. These tombs were not archaeologically discovered until around the 1990s.

Experts excavated and found that none of them were seriously damaged by tomb robberies.

That is to say, in history, Cao Cao only found the tomb of King Xiao of Liang, Liu Wu, and no other tombs.

So, don't the treasures in those tombs belong exclusively to him?

If you think about giving this batch of gold to Cao Cao in exchange for an identity and a shelter, and living a relatively stable life in this troubled world, you won't feel so distressed, right?

Just when Wu Liang was thinking about this "from his heart".

"Woooooooo..."

Suddenly, a dull whimpering sound came from the side.

Wu Liang quickly turned around and looked around, only to see Cao Zhen shrugging his shoulders, and a line of clear tears quietly sliding down his dark face.

Seeing Wu Liang and the soldiers looking at him, Cao Zhen hurriedly wiped his face and explained awkwardly: "I'm just happy. I've never seen so much gold in my life. My dad too! My uncle too!"

My great-grandfather is the same... I guarantee you that even if they see you, they will shed tears of joy."

Is it?
