(All kinds of begging.)
Why would Qin Shi prepare such professional outdoor equipment? This was because in his previous life, he had been a tomb raider in the 90s!
It was true. In his previous life, in 1992, Qionghai Province had been involved in a huge property speculation. Even the government agencies in Sijiu City had gone to join in the fun, and Qin Shi had been sent there as well. Looking at a huge amount of real money every day, he was just as hot-headed as countless people who were looking for gold in Qionghai. He took out all his funds, sold his house, resigned, and set up a company to do it himself!
Earning money, losing money, and then losing everything! After that, there was nothing else.
His partner, who had lost everything like him, came from Qinxi Province. In despair, he came up with an idea to turn the tables around. He had inherited the skills of a gold-looting officer and was prepared to become a local scholar and be pulled into the gang. Just like that, they really did the dirty work of the local teacher for two years. It had always been two people working together, and they would never find a third person.
It was not until one of his partners was crushed to death by a collapsed tomb that Qin Shi returned to his hometown to become a small antique merchant. After that, he became an antique dealer and collector.
After his rebirth, he had already made up his mind to continue stirring up trouble, but he had to keep a low profile. He had to do it all over the world, both openly and secretly. Although walking by the river often would make one's shoes wet, he had to rely on his foresight.
However, there were a few places in the " code book " that recorded the places that needed to be dug. They were relatively safe, and the temptation was too great!
In the spring of 1988, the Yanjiao Temple on Mount Wutai in Jin Province was undergoing major repairs. The laborers excavated at least a thousand Chunhua Yuan Bao coins with Buddha statues on them. These Buddha statues and money should be the offerings buried here by the second emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyi. The amount was staggering!
After a round of looting, more than half of the people ran away. In the end, the police and the Civil Affairs Department still managed to catch up with many of them. However, the number was interesting. Some said 1345, some said 1800, and some even said 2875 were collected.
However, part of the lost Buddha statue money had been smuggled out and soon appeared in the auction market in Xiangjiang City and overseas. Some of them were probably collected by private collectors and kept secret.
How many Buddha statues and coins were unearthed under the foundation of Yanjiao Temple? In the end, only the immortals would know!
……
Beneath the thin layer of soil was a stone slab. There were six to seven hundred gold coins in one layer, and the canvas bag weighed at least ten kilograms!
After carefully cleaning up the surroundings and making sure that he did not miss anything, Zhang Nan made his move on the stone slab below!
Those who had read the specific records of the excavation knew: Initially, after the public security and cultural protection personnel collected and cleaned up the more than 300 coins that were dug up, they happily and ecstatically evacuated and chased after the few migrant workers who had escaped.
In the end, the dozens of migrant workers who were left behind continued to work and dug out at least 1000 coins from under the stone slabs that were thought to be the base of the tower. This time, almost all of them had run away, and a large number of them were separated. It was simply like telling a farce story!
After a few minutes of hard work, the stone slab, which was more than 10 centimeters thick, was finally smashed open. After clearing the rubble, a square box embedded in the soil was revealed.
"Silver. There was no hollow underground palace made of stone slabs around. No wonder those people thought that the stone slab above was the bottom.”He wiped it with his glove, and the slightly flattened lid revealed the dark silver color that had been through nearly a thousand years.
He cleared the soil around him and wanted to carry the box out, but he almost sprained his waist!
At least a hundred jin!
"It's so heavy. How much money is inside?”
Fortunately, he was young and strong. After spending a lot of effort, he finally moved the silver box out of the foundation pit. He drove the jeep over, put the silver box in a pocket, and stuffed it in front of the passenger seat. He also placed the first canvas bag in the car.
He could not rest yet. He checked the foundation pit again to make sure that he did not miss anything.
It took him more than an hour to throw away all the broken stone slabs that he had dug out and shovel ordinary stones and frozen soil into the foundation pit. Now, when the construction team came to work the year after next, those people who didn't know anything would not notice that this place had been excavated not long ago. They would help him with the final " destruction of evidence " for free.
After checking the situation of the snow chains on the wheels, he moved all the equipment he had brought into the jeep and checked again.
Outside the car, the night wind and snow filled the sky, sweeping away all traces of tonight.
Fortunately, his driving skills were not bad. He took the risk and drove the car down the middle platform overnight. There was already more than ten centimeters of snow accumulated at the foot of the mountain.
There was no one in the few residential areas that they passed by. They were all at home. The thermometer just showed that it was minus 18 degrees Celsius on the top of the platform!
He drove back to the guest house of the coal mine and parked the car. He carried the mountaineering bag stuffed into the silver box and pretended that it was not heavy as he wanted to pass by the receptionist. However, because it was too late, the duty officer had already gone to the lounge to sleep.
He put the things into the room and drove to the jeep to move everything back.
As it was the best room in the guest house, it had a private bathroom and hot water from the tap. The coal mine did not lack coal. The boiler in the boiler room was filled with large pieces of coal that were burning at night.
He was not in a hurry to check on the treasure. Instead, he took a hot bath first. It was cold, sweaty, and tired. If he dragged it on, he would get sick. This was the experience that Master Gan Tu had learned back then.
He put his sweaty underwear, gloves, jacket, and other things into the bathtub and washed them. He even brushed his boots clean and hung them on the heater in the room. They would be dry the next day.
He couldn't take it anymore, so he lay on the bed and slept.
Early in the morning, the alarm clock rang. It was six o'clock sharp.
She got up, picked up the canvas bag, and walked into the bathroom. After washing and removing the floating mud, exquisite pieces of "Chunhua Yuan Bao's Buddha statue offering money" appeared in his hand.
"So beautiful!" Without measuring, he knew that these gold coins were 2.4 centimeters in diameter, 0.12 centimeters thick, and 0.5 centimeters in diameter. The Buddha statue on the back was raised by 0.2 centimeters. The color was 96%, and each weighed about 12 grams. (Information checked by the author)
The two Buddha statues on the back of the "Chunhua Yuan Bao" coin were lifelike and lifelike. On the right was Guanyin Bodhisattva sitting on the lotus seat with her legs crossed, and on the left was the child of good fortune standing on the base of the lotus seat with his hands folded slightly to the right. It was a picture of the child worshipping the child.
There were subtle differences between the Buddha statues on each coin. Because the craftsmanship was "cast first and then carved", they were all carved by the sculptor twice, so there were subtle differences between the Buddha statues and the words. Even the weight was different. Qin Shi knew that the heaviest one could reach 13.4 grams.
A bag of 400 pills!
He then brought the silver box in and wiped it clean with a hot towel. It could be seen that the silver box was very thick. There were various Buddhist figures and patterns embossed on the sides and the top of the box. It was exceptionally exquisite.
It was a technical task to pry open the lid of the silver box. Iron tools were not allowed. A hard bamboo stick was used. It was cut out by high-quality bamboo chopsticks. There was always a small thing in the equipment of the local master, which acted as a small probe.
This time, he didn't make a probe, but a wooden wedge.
After spending more than half an hour, he finally removed the lid. There was almost no mud or dirt in the box, and a box full of money appeared in front of him!
After counting, there were a total of 3288! No wonder the box weighed over a hundred pounds! Including the ones in the canvas bag, there were a total of 3688 pills!
"God, how much did you hide back then, Comrade Zhao?”
He had a clear conscience for this job. Otherwise, at least half of it would have been lost the year after next! Each coin weighed 12 grams, and the price of gold was 85 yuan per gram, so the gold price alone was more than 4 million yuan!
According to the price of cultural relics, one could be exchanged for a luxury car in Xiangjiang in 1988, but that was an exception. After 40 years, the price would stabilize and would be more than 90,000 yuan per piece. Even if it was 90,000 yuan per piece, it would still be more than 300 million yuan!
Rich? He wouldn't sell it even if he was beaten to death. He was preparing to build a collection hall.
"When I can open a private museum, I can openly become my own collection if I have a suitable reason.”
The amount of wealth a person could have was proportional to the amount of status they could disclose. Otherwise, it would only bring trouble. Qin Shi was convinced of this.
In today's society, the richest man would immediately make you a negative person.
However, it was really depressing to have a huge amount of wealth but not be able to cash it out.
He did not wash the money in the box. Instead, he put it all back into the silver box, covered it again, and moved it back to his room.
There was a big safe in the corner of the room. This was specially prepared for special guests in the guest house. When some higher-ups came to stay temporarily, they needed a place to put important documents, so there were two such safe boxes in the guest house.
This made it convenient for me to put the silver box into the passcode box, along with the things I bought from the cultural relic store.
The key wasn't secure. When they moved in, it was inserted into the passcode box, but they could set the passcode themselves, so it was considered safe. In addition, this was a national office that no strangers were allowed to approach. In fact, it would not be a problem even if it was casually placed in the room. If the staff did not need to clean it, no one would come.
Entering the customer's room without permission was a big taboo!
Just as she was about to go eat, there was a knock on the door." Who is it?”Qin Shi asked.
"Little Qin, it's me, Old Deng."
The moment he opened the door, he saw the mine manager, Deng Debang. He was a middle-aged man in his fifties. Behind him was Deputy Manager Cheng, who he had seen a few times and was in charge of sales, and a financial officer.
"Little Qin, another wire transfer arrived this morning. The staff on duty saw your car this morning and knew that you were back.”
The wire transfer notice was sent to the guest house, and the coal mine would know immediately. This was money. How could the coal mine not be proactive?!
"How much?"
"Two. One should be 5000 tons, and the other should be 180,000. The other one was 15,000 yuan, which was probably the shipping fee. There was also an urgent telegram.”
He did some calculations in his mind. The current ex-factory price of coal was set at 25.61 yuan per ton, but this price was strictly within the plan. Otherwise, it would not be enough. The average production cost of a state-owned coal mine was more than 30 yuan per ton. Even if the cost of an open-pit coal mine was lower, the price had to be set according to the state regulations. If it was not enough, the state finance would provide it to you.
The price of the coal was 33.8 yuan. Because of the railway, the coal mine was in charge, but the freight was still borne by the buyer, so they sent it over together and gave a little more.
After inviting everyone into the room, the accountant handed Qin Shi two wire transfers and an urgent telegram. The three of them even avoided arousing suspicion when they read the telegram.
