Chapter 1064 Li Mo talks about treasures
Wang Ku?
Li Mo does not understand the true meaning for the time being, it sounds a bit like the meaning of breaking into the king's small coffer. Just like the holy treasury established by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the late Qing Dynasty, it was to gather the wealth of the world together.
The first box was full of gold nuggets. Another worker cleaned the gold nuggets one by one with clean water, and then lined them up neatly, reflecting the dazzling golden glow under the sunlight.
The tourists who watched not far away raised their equipment and took pictures, and there were endless exclamations.
The second box was also opened, and it was filled with gold nuggets just like the first box. When it came to the third box, it changed, and the silver ingots stored in it were fifty taels of ingots. It's just that the color of the silver has changed so much that it is basically black, and only a shape can be seen.
"Professor Li, tell us about the history of ingots."
Someone shouted from a tourist.
"Yuanbao, Yuanbao, isn't it the treasure of the Yuan Dynasty?"
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand."
Some people in the crowd began to confront each other.
Li Mo picked up a silver ingot and motioned to everyone to be quiet, then smiled and said: "What the friend said just now is quite correct, Yuanbao, Yuanbao, the treasure of the Yuan Dynasty. In the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuanbao finally deserved its name. This is not a joke. No Wrong, the Yuan Dynasty used "Yuan" as the country's name, and the word "Yuanbao" was most appetizing to the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. Around the third year of the Yuan Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, silver from the Pinghuai Treasury was melted and cast into ingots, and those weighing 50 taels were called "Yuan Bao". Gold ingots'. Gold ingots are called gold ingots, and silver ingots are called silver ingots, which have both political meanings and general terms for gold and silver currencies."
All the tourists burst out laughing. It turns out that Yuan Bao has such a history.
"However, the gold ingots and silver ingots that appeared later were still cast with the model of Ming ingots. This knowledge is relatively unpopular, and what I said may not be all correct. Interested friends can look up more information."
"Professor Li, we love to hear what you say, and what you say is what you say."
"Yes, it's still interesting what Professor Li said."
At this time blind worship.
The first three wooden boxes that came out did not contain gold, silver and jade jewelry, so they lacked a lot of things to watch. Except for the shock of the two boxes of gold, there was no visual beauty.
Four soldiers carried a new wooden box to Li Mo's side. They wiped the gold pieces with a cloth and put them into the box one by one. The size of the box is much smaller, so five new wooden boxes were placed in the two boxes of gold nuggets carried up, and seals and locks were affixed after the number was counted.
After Li Mo signed and confirmed, he was temporarily transported to a temporary camp, and then transported down the mountain after being transported by a helicopter. There is stricter protection there.
Three more wooden boxes were hoisted up, and Li Moyi glanced at them. One of the boxes was full of gold, silver, jewelry and jade, and there were hundreds of pieces, or even more, in a full box.
"If it's all gold and silver, then opening the box won't be interesting, right?"
Li Mo glanced at the crowd of tourists, then walked over to an old man in his sixties and smiled, "The old man has a ruddy complexion and is growing old, how about inviting you to open the box together?"
"No problem, I will do it."
The uncle took the hydraulic scissors from Li Mo's hand under the envious eyes of everyone, and removed the package in two or three strokes. There were still gold nuggets inside, but the word "Wang Ku" was not on the gold nuggets in this case, and the volume of the casting was large. The size is different, and it is obvious that the casting time is more urgent.
"This box of gold nuggets should have been hastily melted and cast by King Chuang before he fled the capital city, and it hasn't been sent to the king's treasury yet."
The second box is still gold, and everyone has long lost the initial shock. More gold is just a quantity.
"Professor Li, let me open the third box."
The uncle is the uncle, and he will start working before Li Mo agrees to pick up the hydraulic shears. Li Mo stretched out his hand and grabbed it. This box contains all kinds of jewelry, and there are many jades in it. At the latest, they are all from the late Ming Dynasty. If you are lucky, you will encounter Tang and Song Dynasties, or even longer In the dynasties, that piece of high-quality jade was very valuable.
"Master, thank you for your hard work. I tested the weight of this box just now, and it is obviously different from other wooden boxes, so I suspect that it is not gold and silver stored in it, but may be other valuable ancient relics. We should be careful, just in case What's inside is even more precious."
The uncle laughed a few times: "That's right, I was reckless. Professor Li, then I'll take advantage of it and see what good things are in the wooden box at a close distance. Will this work?"
"Success, it is necessary."
"Professor Li, my wife is also watching eagerly, or... you see... will it work?"
Li Mo looked in the direction he was pointing, and then said with a smile, "Success, let aunt come in too."
"Thank you, Professor Li."
The third box cannot be opened directly like the first few boxes. Li Mo waved to Lu Guoqing: "Mr. Lu, wrap this wooden box around the waist a few times to prevent it from falling apart. Then wrap it with transparent tape a few more times. Circle, enhance stability."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
The staff skillfully wrapped it with wire first, and then with tape, until Li Mo felt that it was safe. He used a tool to cut the wire on the top of the wooden box, and then carefully pried off the lid.
"Wow, so much beautiful jewelry."
Auntie couldn't help being amazed at the first sight.
No matter what age women are, they always have the same love for beautiful jewelry.
"Come here, bring a few more buckets of clean water, and prepare more protective film."
Brown Bear immediately arranged for people to act. He also saw that there were too many jewelry in this box, a large box was full, and he didn't know how many damaged jewelry there were.
Put three buckets of clear water aside, Li Mo picked up a bracelet from the box, which was made of gold. Careful washing in clear water immediately reveals a golden side. The bracelet is thicker than the gold bracelets that ordinary people see, and the engraved patterns on the surface are also very rough. The craftsmanship is not refined enough, but it looks very wild and domineering.
The pattern is engraved with double dragons, the dragon's head is raised high, the dragon's scales are clear, and the lines are strong.
"It's so beautiful and domineering double dragon gold bracelet."
The aunt was amazed again, the uncle pulled her arm and said in a low voice: "Don't make a sound, it will make you very ignorant, and let the people of the whole country see a joke."
"knew."
Li Mo wiped the water stains on the surface of the Shuanglong gold bracelet with a dry cloth and said: "This is obviously an ancient relic handed down from the Liao Kingdom. It has obvious characteristics of the Liao culture. I have a similar one in my collection, but the Shuanglong in my collection Not this mighty and domineering one. Brown bear, hold the bracelet and show everyone up close."
"OK."
The brown bear picked up the bracelet and walked around the tourist area, and many photos were taken.
Li Mo picked up the second piece from the wooden box, which was a jade bracelet. After cleaning it with water, he discovered that there were two gold joints on the surface of the bracelet.
"Professor Li, how do you wrap the jade bracelet with gold? It looks quite beautiful. Is it called a gold-wrapped jade bracelet?"
Uncle seems to have a lot of knowledge.
Li Mo shook his head and said: "This is not the craftsmanship of gold-wrapped jade. This jade bracelet is made of relatively rare northern wilderness jadeite. Although the quality of the jade is not the best white, it is also very good overall. It's just that it has been smashed into pieces. Two knots, because this kind of jade is rare, it is even more precious. Or maybe the jade bracelet has an unusual meaning, so the owner used gold to wrap the joints to splice the damaged jade bracelets together."
"Look carefully, the surface of this gold flake is also engraved with very exquisite patterns, which are relatively delicate and exquisite, and the craftsmanship of the craftsman is good."
The live camera zoomed in and made a close-up.
"Although the jade is broken, it has this exquisite gold-wrapped jade craftsmanship, which makes it look more beautiful. It is a very good bracelet. As for the age, it is probably in the middle of the Ming Dynasty."
Li Mo asked a soldier to carefully wrap it with a protective film, and then put it in a small wooden box.
Li Mo's explanation was relatively detailed, and the people present seemed to be in class, listening with gusto.
"This one is a bit interesting. Can you see it? It's a gold hairpin inlaid with gemstones."
Li Mo cleaned another piece of jewelry. The hairpin was made of gold, and the top was in the shape of a lotus flower. Unfortunately, three of the golden lotus leaves were seriously deformed. Only the inlaid sapphire at the core of the lotus flower has not fallen off. It is extremely lucky.
If even the inlaid gemstones are lost, the value and charm of this gold hairpin will be greatly reduced.
"These three deformed gold leaves can be perfectly repaired in the later stage. It is a very beautiful gold hairpin. Unfortunately, it is hard to tell which dynasty it is from from the style characteristics."
"Professor Li, how much do you think this sapphire-encrusted nobile is worth?"
The uncle squatted aside and asked in a low voice.
Li Mo turned to look at him and asked with a smile, "Master, where are you from?"
"My ancestral home is in that corner of the Northeast, and now I live with my son in Yangzhou."
Li Mo nodded: "This piece of jewelry can probably buy a just-needed commercial house in a slightly remote place in Yangzhou."
"That's more than one million yuan, which is really expensive. If I have one million yuan, if I buy a gold necklace, it will be too heavy to lift my head when I hang it around my neck." The uncle kept muttering, obviously feeling that Just such a small hairpin is worth tens of thousands of yuan at most, how could I have imagined that it is worth more than one million yuan.
This estimate is still a conservative estimate.
Next, Li Mo explained every time he took out one item, until noon, when his mouth was dry and he cleared out a little bit from the box. The tourists were also tired from standing, and returned down the mountain one after another under the official arrangement. They witnessed the birth of King Chuang's treasure and saw a lot of beautiful ancient jewelry, so they ended the trip with satisfaction.
The temporary camp was set up not far from the temple. Although it feels very strange, those soldiers don’t care about you, and set up wherever is suitable. Lunch is fast food shipped from down the mountain, but the quantity is sufficient, and if one is not enough, eat two or three.
Tongshan also spent a lot of money on logistics support, but through Li Mo's live broadcast promotion, Jiugongshan's reputation soared, and even the nearest Tongshan County became a key word in the search on the Internet.
While eating fried rice with eggs, Li Mo picked up a large piece of braised pork head, which is where the pig's eyes are. Maybe everyone is hungry, so it tastes very delicious.
"I thought the official would only give us a box lunch with two meats and three vegetables. I didn't expect that the logistical investment would be quite expensive. There are several kinds of staple food alone, such as white rice, fried rice, fried noodles, etc., and nine Sample the food. The taste is also good and fragrant."
"Uncle, since I followed you, I have been eating hot and spicy food almost every day." Fu Liang picked up a marinated chicken leg and ate it up in a few bites.
"How did I hear that you sound like a bandit?" Li Mo glared at him. There are so many people gathering around for dinner, and you are the only one who babbles and yells. You can't tell the occasion, so you can say whatever you want, "Come on Come on, everyone let go of eating, and we will have the strength to work in the afternoon after eating a full stomach. When the work is finished, I will send a big red envelope to everyone individually, thank you for your hard work."
The employees of the salvage company expressed their gratitude one after another, and Li Mo would definitely not be stingy enough to only have a few hundred or one thousand.
"Brown bear, don't let tourists come up again in the afternoon. We need to speed up the inventory, otherwise it will take us a day for just one box of gold, silver and jade jewelry. At this speed, more than two hundred boxes from Yunzhong Lake It will take more than a few days for Wang Shenbao to come out."
"Boss, it really doesn't work, let's call in another group of professional people."
"Professional talents have been sent to the island country." There are no more experienced people to arrange, and even his five students are too busy to get away. Li Mo said after digging a few mouthfuls of fried rice, "I'll make a call, A group of senior students from the Department of Archeology of Beijing University and the Department of Archeology of Qing University are mobilized here, as long as they work hard, they should be able to do all the work."
After making two phone calls, Li Mo picked up another box of fried rice with eggs, and used a spoon to make two spoonfuls of bibimbap beef sauce, served with crispy pickles. It didn't taste too good.
"Boss Lu, try this pickled cucumber, it's always delicious."
"It's our special product. I often eat it at home. In the morning, I have two bowls of white rice porridge and pickled cucumbers. It's quite satisfying." Mr. Lu was gnawing on a duck leg and said while eating, "Mr. According to your arrangement, the Shenbao that will be picked up next will be transported down the mountain immediately, stored in a temporary camp and slowly counted in the later stage. The temperature of Yunzhong Lake drops rapidly at night, and the humidity is also high."
"Well, today is also because there are tourists, so we give them more opportunities to see what rare antiques are in King Li Chuang's treasure."
After lunch, Li Mo didn't take a break, but immediately went to work. Many pieces of jade were found to be damaged, and the price of repairs was high, and it seemed that there was no need for repairs.
"Boss, this doesn't look like a golden bowl, it's quite heavy in the palm of your hand."
Li Mo glanced at it and took the 'Golden Bowl' from the brown bear. He flipped through it and said, "It's made of copper. You say it's a bowl, but it doesn't look like it. It's actually a copper bowl. The bowl used by monks or practitioners to eat and drink. Although it is not made of gold, it has some origins, because there are several rows of small seal characters carved on the inner wall of the bowl, and several Buddha statues are carved on the outer surface of the bowl. From Judging from the shape and style of the Buddha statue, it feels a bit like the period of Empress Wu Zetian."
