Today's society is really stressful, many people often feel powerless in the face of some extreme pressure, and sometimes they really feel that no matter how hard they try, they can only comfort themselves in their dreams.
For example, it is good to have some dreams of getting rich, or to win a lottery jackpot or to pick up a baby, but after waking up from the dream, you still have to return to the harsh reality.
In fact, there are always exceptions to everything, there is an old farmer, he dug up a considerable amount of gold cakes when he was digging a well, what era are these things? And how to deal with it in the end?
In a small mountain village on its northeastern outskirts, there is a very ordinary old farmer Zhang Mou, who continued the work of the previous few days, and was operating a hoe to dig a well in his own small vegetable garden, the well water is groundwater, sweet and nutritious, and it is a very happy thing for rural people to have a well.
However, the most feared thing about this well is to dig the hard rock under the ground, which means that the choice of place is not good, and it is necessary to dig another place. No, digging to a depth of about four meters, Lao Zhang made a "banging" sound as soon as the hoe went down, obviously touching something hard.
So Old Zhao exchanged a shovel and began to dig, this digging did not matter, but the result was to dig out a lot of "round cake" shaped metal lumps.
Old Zhao's first feeling was that these things should be copper blocks, so he quickly dug them out one by one.
Afterwards, Lao Zhang took this pile of "copper cakes" home as much as possible, and after cleaning them, their surfaces were actually shining with gold, very dazzling, like gold.
Lao Zhang's heart beat faster, he opened his mouth and bit it with his teeth, and sure enough, it was real gold, and the surprise came too suddenly, and Lao Zhang was completely stupid.
When he was relieved, Lao Zhang began to count the number of gold cakes he had picked up, a total of one hundred and eight pieces, and the overall weight was as high as more than one hundred and twenty pounds.
The realization of gold seems to be a special gift from God, and this wealth is sent to the door without spending it in vain. That night, Lao Zhang told the family the secret, and the family discussed how to sell these golden cakes without saying a word.
A few days later, Lao Zhang took his son to a bank in the county town, ready to inquire about the realization of gold, which aroused the vigilance of the bank staff, and the experienced staff saw the clues from the shape of the "round cake", so they reported it to the Cultural Relics Bureau for the first time.
Cultural relics experts rushed to the bank and immediately made an appraisal of the gold cakes, it turned out that they belonged to the Western Han Dynasty goldware, Lao Zhang father and son were educated, and finally, under the persuasion of the staff, they had to hand over all one hundred and twenty pounds of "round cakes", and at the same time they received a 500 yuan bonus and a pennant!
After the study of experts, the "true face of Lushan" found that these "round cakes" were the national treasury gold minted by the Western Han Dynasty, but with the "Wang Mang usurping han", these golds were all included in the national treasury.
In addition, after Wang Mang became emperor, he spent another 15 years to collect all the gold of the people into the national treasury.
And the reason he gave for doing so was to revitalize the national economy.
Summing up our country is one of the four major ancient civilizations in the world, the recorded history has reached five thousand years, and at the same time, our country is vast, historical reasons, countless treasures have been buried under the vast land.
The property left behind by this ancestor cannot be measured by monetary value alone, it belongs to the cultural treasures handed down, and from this point of view it is priceless.
Wang Mang's acquisition of gold is a trivial matter for him, after all, he is known as a modern person who "traveled" through the past, and he has put forward many very avant-garde ideas, such as the nationalization of land, and the nationalization of gold harvest is also an aspect of his brilliant idea.
So how much gold did he buy? According to historical records, Wang Mang spent 15 years to buy more than 200 tons, and later all of them were lost in the war, and so far they have hardly been discovered!
The gold cake found this time is only more than 100 pounds, which is still far away, so experts directly asked the whereabouts of more than 200 tons of other gold.
But Lao Zhang only found so much, as for the other gold he did not know.
To this day, some of these ancient artifacts are treasured by museums after excavation, while many more are still buried underground, waiting for the world to discover and excavate one day.
And where is the rest of the gold? Maybe only time will give us the answer.
