Hua, a group of people surrounded it. Upon closer inspection, they found that it was half a bowl made of opaque colored glass. There was a lot of dirt on it.
"Wipe it and see, is it from the previous dynasty? Or is it even older? "Someone said.
"I heard that there was a large tomb in Lantian County. Could it be from the tomb?"
"Then there must be other jewels."
"If I dig up a night pearl, how much can I get?"
Voices began to ring out from the crowd.
"Move, move, move. Come here, who found it? And this land belongs to Xie Xiaohu's family. Xie Xiaohu, come and take a look. This is not what we want, but I'll give you some money. "
Steward Song De walked over and snatched the glass bowl from the hands of the person who found it. He then stuffed it into his sleeve without even wiping the dirt off it.
He called two people to the side and entered the carriage. After a quarter of an hour, the two people came out with smiles on their faces.
"Xiaohu, how much did he give? And that … … person? Xiaohu, tell me, how much did Steward Song give you for half a bowl? "
Someone immediately asked. The others were anxious.
Xie Xiaohu grinned but shook his head: "I can't say, it's not much. It's just fifty coins. Yes, fifty coins."
After speaking, he squeezed out of the crowd and ran in the direction of his home. As he ran, he shouted: "Wife, wife, go buy that silver hairpin you like. We have money now."
When the others heard this, they understood. They could at least buy a silver hairpin. What fifty coins? Fifty coins could buy a silver hairpin?
"What's going on? Who knows, where did this treasure come from and how much is there? "
"Our Lantian County really has good things. No wonder the Li Family Zhuangzi wants to buy it."
"It's a coincidence. Otherwise, we would have asked the Li Family Zhuangzi to buy the land. Who knows how many good things will fall into their hands."
"Everyone, dig. Dig around the area."
"Plow, it's best to plow."
Someone shouted in the crowd. Many people came over to dig and dig.
Xie Xiaohu came. His wife came with him. It looked like they were going to buy a silver hairpin.
"You can't dig. This is my family's land. What are you digging for? Quickly harvest the wheat. "Xie Xiaohu stopped them. His wife had an anxious look on her face.
The news quickly spread.
At first, it was said that they found half a glass bowl. It could be a tomb from the previous dynasty or some other time.
Then, a large caravan encountered bandits here, and they buried the good things in the caravan.
After that, it became a treasure trove of some dynasty. Looking at the various legends of Lantian County, you can think for yourself, right?
"The appearance of the Locust God signifies the appearance of the treasure. None of you know where Li Yi is, right? Instead of Zhuangzi, he went to Luoyang, where there was a plague of locusts.
What was he going to do? Of course, he followed this trail to find the treasure. Guess what happened in the end? It was in Lantian County.
Do you think he's stupid? Pay a poll tax of two hundred dollars per person? Helping people harvest wheat?
I heard that his ancestors were treasure hunters. When he came to Zhuangzi, the things he took out were exactly what was recorded in other treasures. "
Some popular storytellers were saying similar things in various parts of Lantian County.
The people of Lantian County understood. Oh! No wonder, it made sense.
After that, there was news of someone digging up something. Steward Song went to talk to them, and the people of the main family laughed like crazy. They must have taken a lot of money.
When Li Yi finally returned to Zhuangzi the next morning, he was exhausted. Many rich families in Lantian County had hired people to dig in the fields.
"How is it?" Li Yi was soaking in the pool with his head exposed. He asked Song De, who was also soaking in the pool.
"Dongzhu, the first step is successful. Dongzhu, your deception, no, your scheme is too powerful."
Song De felt that the water was a little hot, so his upper body was exposed.
"Don't talk nonsense. Lantian County really has treasures. Other than jade, there are many things that can be directly valued. I don't dare to touch them alone."
Li Yi knew what Lantian County had. Among the minerals, there was kaolin, which was used to make porcelain. The quality was very good.
There were also materials that could make cement, including mineral fertilizers.
Fertilizers were the most important to the people's livelihood. He could not make synthetic fertilizers, so mineral fertilizers were just right.
Of course, there were also hot springs, but they belonged to the royal family. They had long been there, and others were not allowed to soak in them.
If he was willing to dig a well, he knew where he could dig a hot spring without digging too deep.
It was easy for him to mine. Lantian County and Zhuangzi had a common river, Ba Shui.
Ship after ship, they were transported back and used to make fertilizer and other things.
Lantian County also had charcoal. It was not used as fuel, but as fertilizer, it was simply amazing.
Other than these, Li Yi admitted that he could not afford to dig out the most important thing.
"Then Dongzhu, shall we continue?" Song De was not sure what good things there were, but he was willing to do things like scheming.
"En!" He came out of the pool and went to the shower. Wearing a bathrobe, he yawned and returned to his courtyard. He found his bed and fell asleep. He did not even eat.
The Winged Knights who came back with him were in a much better state than him. They returned to the Forbidden Garden and found Li Longji to report.
"Your Majesty, Li Dongzhu has just returned. He is worried about the queen and the child. Yesterday morning, he called for 100 of us to escort them back."
The Non-commissioned Officer stood straight. He did not look tired and could still hold on for a while.
Li Longji pursed his lips and nodded. He did not say anything. He waved his hand and the Non-commissioned Officer left.
On the 28th of March, a group of people from Lantian County gathered together again.
"Last night, someone saw something dug out from Gao Laoyuan's house. It was very big. Under the light of the lanterns, it was golden yellow.
This morning, Gao Laoyuan's family disappeared. They stopped harvesting the wheat in the fields. They probably got a big share of the money and no longer cared about Lantian County's property. "
Someone shared the important news he had heard.
Now many people believed that 'the appearance of the Locust God leads to the appearance of the treasure'.
Today, Lantian County cooperated with the Li Family Zhuangzi to excavate. More than 20 families bought new clothes for their families and hired people to renovate and build new houses.
This was impressive. Especially Xie Xiaohu's family, they bought a new carriage and two horses. They brought his parents, wife and children to his wife's house.
The wheat in Lantian County was harvested. The whole yard was demolished and a two-story house was to be built.
No matter, they paid a lot of money and asked someone to build it.
How much money was that? They said they dug out a box and used a compass to measure it. They found it in an instant.
"Boss, boss, we just received news that Song De went to the county office and said he wanted to rent 10 plots of land. But there were two big merchants from Luoyang who also wanted to rent.
The two parties quarreled in the county office. Song De said he could give up 9 plots of land but there was one plot that the other party could not touch.
But they asked which plot and which plot, the other party refused and gave up 10 plots of land.
County Magistrate Jiang spread the news and asked me to inform boss. What should we do? Should we not rent it and dig it ourselves or should we rent it and think of a solution? "
A servant ran in from outside and said to the man surnamed Ma.
The others were excited and looked at the man surnamed Ma, waiting for him to make a decision.
The man surnamed Ma looked at Guan Shanxing.
Guan Shanxing thought for a moment and said, "Go ask about the two merchants from Luoyang. It would be better if we could meet them."
