Siheyuan: a hole in the sky with you
Chapter 87 Huge Wealth
"Grandma, it's a bit dusty here, why don't I take you to the park for a stroll." Zhou Jianguo said to the old lady.
Just after twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Xu San took five people to the courtyard and started building toilets.
"No, grandma, I still like it here." The old lady refused.
It's not that the old lady doesn't want to go to the park, she just feels sorry for Zhou Jianguo. She considers that Zhou Jianguo's body is just in good shape now and it's the time when he needs to cultivate himself. At this time, as a grandmother, she can't hold him back.
The park is some way away from the courtyard, and it would take half an hour to walk there, which would tire the eldest grandson. Therefore, the old lady refused.
"There's no one I know in the park, so there's no point in going there. We're all neighbors here. Everyone talks and laughs, so it's more comfortable!" The old lady patted Zhou Jianguo's hand and told her that it was good.
She knew that Zhou Jianguo was filial, but if Zhou Jianguo was tired because of this, it would be too late for her to regret it.
"Okay, grandma, I'll make you a pot of tea and bring you some young peanuts. These young peanuts are so milky that your teeth can bite them."
"Well, that's good, grandson, hurry up and go. Grandma is really a little greedy when you say this." The old lady said happily, she really likes to eat those tender peanuts.
"Okay, grandma, I'll bring it right away."
Three minutes later, Zhou Jianguo came to the old lady with a fruit plate. As he put it down, he whispered: "Old lady, only you and aunt can drink this pot of tea. Peanuts don't matter."
It was obvious that Zhou Jianguo used the spiritual water in the Cave Heaven Orb to brew this pot of tea, and the effect was very obvious.
"Don't worry, grandma is old, but she's not an old fool yet!" The old lady patted Zhou Jianguo's head lovingly. She knew that the 'immortal fate' encountered by her eldest grandson needed to be kept secret, so she was responsible for some matters.
Never confused.
Just like the fresh vegetables that Zhou Jianguo kept bringing out before, the old lady never asked where they came from. She only knew that this was her eldest grandson's "immortal fate" and she had to help keep it a secret.
"Hey, grandma is so awesome!" Zhou Jianguo flattered her.
After that, Zhou Jianguo paid off the old lady for a while, until the first aunt and the third aunt arrived before returning to the backyard.
He was not ashamed, but was ready to investigate whether there were any secrets buried in this courtyard.
To be honest, Zhou Jianguo had not thought of this before, but after Xu San and the others started digging, especially after they dug out a few broken bowls, he suddenly realized this.
Zhou Jianguo had heard before that there are often secret rooms in some large courtyards, and there may be treasures and the like inside.
In the past, when the courtyard houses in Huajing were being renovated, similar things happened more than once, which caused some conflicts and eventually went to court.
Zhou Jianguo had never thought about this before. It was not until this moment that he realized that he might have made the mistake of forgetting that there might be treasures in this courtyard.
Zhou Jianguo's mental power instantly enveloped the entire courtyard. When he saw this, he was a little surprised, because the courtyard he lived in was actually a five-yard courtyard. However, the last half of the courtyard was destroyed by the previous war.
The inside has turned into ruins, so now this courtyard seems to have only three entrances. In fact, if we really count, it should be three and a half entrances.
"The fifth-level courtyard house must have been a courtyard house at the level of a county king in the past! (I didn't check it in detail, so let's just treat it like this, and don't bother with the data!)" Zhou Jianguo clicked his tongue. He originally thought it was an extremely large courtyard house.
Ordinary courtyard houses, it seems now, are not that simple.
"In this case, I have to check carefully to see if there is any treasure down here!" Zhou Jianguo thought excitedly, and then, his mental power penetrated downwards. In the next second, the entire courtyard was covered with fifty
The range of meters is within his 'control'.
Under the scanning of mental power, the secrets under the courtyard were completely revealed to Zhou Jianguo.
"Oh, there really is a secret room, there is really a treasure!" Zhou Jianguo soon discovered a secret room, which was hidden in the ruins at the back. There were more than twenty boxes in it, and each box contained a large amount of gold and silver treasures.
.
The real location of this secret room is halfway up a well that was filled with rubble. It is about ten meters above the ground. It is also very waterproof. So far, there is no trace of water entering the secret room.
"It's really a genius idea to build the secret room next to the well."
Water wells are too common and common. There are many of them outside, and the wells are full of water. Who would hide treasures in them? Isn’t this a waste of good things? So, under normal circumstances, when you come here, you will see
After this well, I don’t think much about it at all.
In addition, water wells in wealthy households are actually a taboo.
There is a lot of filth in the inner courtyards of wealthy families. From time to time, people outside can hear that in a certain courtyard, someone threw themselves into a well, or in other words, someone made someone angry, so they were thrown into the well.
Inside the well.
Because in the eyes of outsiders, many of the wells in big houses contain some innocent souls, let alone the wells in the houses of princes and the like. I believe that the number of innocent souls down here is almost full.
Therefore, even if they come to search your home, those people will usually ignore the well inside.
There are too many innocent souls here. If you really want to go down, if you are haunted by the evil spirits, you will be seeking death.
But the previous owner of this courtyard, or the owner who built this secret room, did the opposite and built the treasure room next to the well. It can be seen that this person is still somewhat smart.
Of course, the predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade. Now these treasures belong to him, Zhou Jianguo.
"Collect!!" Zhou Jianguo immediately collected the twenty-six treasure boxes in the treasure room, and opened them one after another in the Cave Heaven Orb, waiting for the "lucky" of the master Zhou Jianguo.
After just opening it and seeing the situation inside, Zhou Jianguo was mentally prepared, but seeing the treasures full of gold, silver, and jewelry piled in front of him like a hill, he was still confused for a moment.
Lost my mind.
"Hahaha..." Zhou Jianguo laughed. The treasures all over the floor made him a little crazy.
Fortunately, Zhou Jianguo was successful in cultivation and had some mental preparation beforehand, so he quickly woke up.
"Huh!" He took a deep breath, looking at the mountains of treasures in front of him, he was still very excited.
He picked up a gold ingot, weighed it, and found that it was about fifty taels. If converted into modern weight, it would be about 1,556 grams.
In ancient times, one pound was equal to sixteen taels, and one tael was about 30 grams.
To digress, the current TV series are really careless. Some of the things in them are too fake. For example, if you go out for a drink or something, you will always carry around one hundred taels or five hundred taels of silver. It’s really fake.
.
According to our current calculation, these ten taels are one catty, then one hundred taels is ten catties, and five hundred taels is fifty catties.
Who would be so stupid? It is not only inconvenient but also very troublesome to carry around fifty pounds of silver when eating.
Of course, it still needs to be explained here. In ancient times, one pound was sixteen taels. So, if you really want to talk about it, one hundred taels of silver is not ten pounds, but only about six pounds. Five hundred taels is almost thirty-one pounds.
.
Therefore, if you go out with one hundred taels of silver, there won't be much problem. Six pounds is not that heavy and it is not conspicuous when you carry it. However, if you go out with five hundred taels or one thousand taels of silver (not banknotes), this will
Indeed...
Hey, TV series are harmful!
"Golden Yuanbao, it seems that the gold hidden here must be at least a hundred or two hundred years old."
Gold bars only appeared in the late Qing Dynasty, when the Western world began to penetrate, and slowly, gold ingots turned into gold bars.
The gold here is all gold ingots. It can be seen that the gold here has been buried for a long time.
"One is fifty taels. There are three hundred and fifty taels in this box, which is 17,500 taels of gold. Converted to the current weight, that is 1,100 kilograms, which is equivalent to 500 kilograms.
That's about half a ton, and there are twelve boxes here containing gold ingots, so there are six tons of gold in total, this..." Zhou Jianguo opened his mouth in surprise.
Although he had already thought that there was a lot of gold here, Zhou Jianguo really did not expect that the amount could reach six tons.
This is six tons of gold. Even if the purity of the gold here is slightly discounted, this is still an astronomical figure.
In the 1960s, the lowest price of one gram of gold was 35.085 meters of gold, and the highest was 45.86 meters of gold. Let’s take a middle price, which is 40 meters of gold per gram. There are 1 million grams of gold in a ton. If you multiply that by 40, that’s four thousand
Ten thousand meters of gold.
Forty million meters of gold was an astronomical sum in previous lives, let alone in the 1960s.
To put it bluntly, there may not have been so much foreign exchange at that time, but now Zhou Jianguo has six tons of gold, which means there are 240 million meters of gold.
Zhou Jianguo was so surprised that his heart almost jumped out of his chest for such a large amount of money.
"Fortunately, the heart disease has been cured, otherwise, it would have been really tough this time!" Zhou Jianguo looked at the gold on the ground in front of him with a smile, but his heart gradually began to calm down.
The value of this gold is indeed very high, but compared to the Cave Heaven Orb, haha, that is the difference between stone and diamond. There is no comparison between the two.
"However, I can be considered to have achieved golden freedom and silver freedom!" Zhou Jianguo still had a smile on his face.
There are a total of twenty-six boxes here, twelve of which are gold, twenty of which are silver, and the remaining four contain pearls, jade, antiques, jade, jewelry and the like.
The value of gold is so amazing, and the value of the remaining treasures will not be low, but now Zhou Jianguo doesn't have much time to think about calculations.
After calculating the value of gold, especially the figure of 240 million, Zhou Jianguo's thoughts about calculating the value of these things gradually faded away.
Just like what is said in the book, once money reaches a certain number, it is just a number to some people. This is the mentality of Zhou Jianguo now.
Two hundred and forty million meters of gold is enough for him. If you add a few hundred million meters of gold or something, that's it.
Besides, aren't these treasures still here? When you get interested in them in the future, you can calculate them again. It can be regarded as leaving an unknown surprise, isn't it?
