And the eyes of this golden tiger are two rubies the size of pigeon's eggs-

Perhaps because the tomb is sealed, the sarcophagus is also sealed, and it is better preserved, although it has gone through hundreds of years, it is still shining.

Not to mention anything else, just this gold Crouching Tiger, I am afraid that it will cost more than 100 taels of gold, plus those two rubies, the value is more than 2,000 taels of silver. Not to mention, where can this thing be sold by weight? The carver is so expressive, when it is everyone's handwriting, if it is sold as an antique, when you meet a favorite buyer, the price will increase several times.

It's just that this golden Crouching Tiger has been sold and everyone has shared, and this trip has made a lot of money.

But in this sarcophagus, this golden crouching tiger is inconspicuous.

Most of the people's eyes were attracted by a few other burial objects.

Naturally, there is gold in it.

In fact, as the tomb of the Jin Dynasty, the owner of the tomb is the general of the Jin Dynasty, so it is strange that there is no gold.

Although the Jin country is named after gold, this does not mean that they have much gold - perhaps the area where the Jin country is located is quite a lot of sand gold, but the total amount will not be much. When the country was named Jin, it was only because the country name of Liao was Liao, and Liao had the meaning of iron, and Wanyan Agu took Jin as the country name, but also to get along with other people's Liao - you are iron, and iron will rot after all, but Jin will not.

However, in the later period, especially after the founding of the country, it is true that the upper nobles of the Jin country have a lot of gold.

Where did it come from? Most of them are robbed.

Not to mention the battle to destroy Liao, nor to mention the other parts of the battle to destroy the Song Dynasty, just the time when Kaifeng was encircled.

As soon as the Jin army opened his mouth, he asked for 10 million ingots of gold, 20 million ingots of silver, and 10 million horses of silk. How much is this? That is, 500 million taels of gold, 1 billion taels of silver, and 10 million horses of silk! 10 million horses of silk may be able to be taken out, after all, the silk weaving industry in the Song Dynasty was developed, and a considerable part of the taxes collected in the Song Dynasty were taxes in kind - for example, the total tax revenue at the peak of the Song Dynasty was 160 million guan, in fact, these are not money, but the sum of all taxes, silver money and grain. The treasury is in Kaifeng, and the palace is also there, even if there is no inventory, it is almost the same, and then it is indispensable to collect and collect from the market.

But these gold and silver, you really can't get it!

Needless to say, gold has always been a precious metal, not to mention the Great Song Dynasty at that time, it is difficult to say whether there is so much gold in the world combined.

As for silver, there was a massive increase in silver production, and then it quickly poured into China, which made China one of the most abundant countries in terms of silver possession, after the Europeans discovered the Americas, discovered a lot of silver mines, and started trading with China, which was already the Ming Dynasty.

At this time in the Song Dynasty, gold and silver were not circulating currency, where was there so much?

In the end, Song Qinzong ordered people to try their best to collect in Kaifeng City, but only collected 160,000 taels of gold, 2 million taels of silver, and 1 million horses of clothing and satin.

Just by encircling Kaifeng, there was only so much to get from the Song Dynasty court, not to mention looting Kaifeng City and looting the surrounding cities, all the way to it.

As a general of the Jin Kingdom, how can he not make a lot of money without making a lot of money?

Around the inner wall of the coffin, a circle of gold was placed.

It is not in the shape of a gold ingot or a golden bun, but a piece of gold bar, about five inches long, two inches wide, and about half an inch thick, very thick and heavy. It's not so much a gold bar as a gold plate. There was also a poke in the lower part of this gold bar, and I don't know where it came from. Such gold bars, connected end to end, just leaned against the inner wall and circled the coffin, almost forty or so.

Zhang Mazi didn't use his hands, his eyes watched, he estimated the size in his heart, and calculated the weight.

As soon as I calculated it in my heart, I was immediately startled.

Gold is heavy, and the former is almost three times as heavy as the same size of gold and iron. The weight of such a piece of gold bar is about sixty or seventy taels, so if you calculate it, wouldn't these forty pieces add up to more than two thousand taels?

He immediately thought: "At that time, I said that Master could choose three things first, I wonder if these forty gold bars can be counted as the same?" If that's the case, choose the golden tiger first, and then choose these gold bars, mother, this life is enough to chew. ”

Of course, he was just thinking about it, and these gold bars certainly couldn't be counted as a part.

And looking at it like this, there are not many burial goods in the tomb, if they are taken by their master and apprentice, the rest of the gold and silver will definitely have to be shared among everyone. However, it is gratifying that, according to what has been agreed before, they can take a share of all the gold and silver in it.

Zhang Mazi was dazzled by these yellow and white things, and Qingyunzi was naturally different from him, he just glanced at these golds lightly, and didn't look at them at all.

His eyes kept staring at the other burial objects.

There were not many burial goods in the coffin, except for the gold, there were only three.

One side has a bronze and a pearl crown.

The mask is a pure gold mask, placed above the stone letter, that is, to the north, if there is a corpse lying in this coffin, then the location of the mask is exactly the head of the corpse.

"Can the old man do it?"

Qing Yunzi looked at Zeng Wenxin and asked with a smile.

During this time, Zeng Wenxin was a lot of people, and he was the master, and Qingyunzi was also making a gesture, so he was naturally not afraid that he would not agree.

Zeng Wenxin really nodded: "Uncle Shi is light." ”

Qingyunzi now has a piece of cloth wrapped in his hand, and then he bends down to hold the mask in his hand. It's a sink to start. The mask is not small, about a foot high, and the width varies, the chin is naturally narrower, the face and forehead are wider, and the widest part is about eight inches. As for the thickness of the mask, it is about two points. The face outlined on this mask, with a large and flat face, a high nose bridge, thick eyebrows, slender eyes, and a round and thick chin, is really very characteristic of the nomadic minority hundreds of years ago.
