When it comes to tomb robbery, we naturally think of one person- Cao Cao. Later generations of tomb robbers regard him as the grandfather of this year, because he promoted the tomb robbery industry to the peak period and made tomb robbery a profession for a living. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, because of the war years, the national treasury reached the bottom, and the supply of military supplies was insufficient, Cao Cao wanted to alleviate the financial pressure in order to solve this problem, so he started the idea of robbing tombs. So he set up a special department, and called the personnel in the department a lieutenant who touched the gold, and today Xiaobian will talk to you about this matter of tomb robbery.
Every industry has people who believe, and the tomb robber believes in Cao Cao, and the tomb robbers all crown Cao Cao as their grandfather, and it is he who pushes the industry of tomb robbery to the top and develops tomb robbery into a profession. In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the incompetence of the rulers, the corruption of the officialdom, coupled with years of war, the national strength was empty, the materials were scarce, and there was no financial support for how to fight, in order to alleviate this pressure, Cao Cao thought of a way, that is, to set up a special department, specifically responsible for tomb robbery, and also called them lieutenants who touched the gold, and stole a large amount of property to supplement the needs of the army.
According to records, Cao Cao stole more than 100,000 catties of gold and silver treasures from his tomb and relied on these treasures to raise an army for three years. So the question is, whose tomb did he steal? This tomb owner said that everyone may know that he is the tomb of Liu Wu, the brother of emperor Jingdi of Han, and it is not simple to say that this wu'er is very simple, in many TV series, his existence almost made Liu Che's throne fall into his hands. Moreover, he was also a royal family member, so how could a person with such a noble status and great power not be luxurious in his tomb.
It has been thousands of years, to the new China after the liberation, the tomb of Liu Wu, the king of Liang, was excavated again, and the priceless treasure of the golden jade clothes, the murals of the four gods was found from the tomb, the whole piece of the golden jade clothes was as light as a feather, and the production process of the golden jade clothes was the crystallization of the supreme wisdom of the ancient Chinese, and the murals of the four gods after more than two thousand years were still vivid, which showed the superb craftsmanship at that time. But these priceless treasures were left behind after Cao Cao stole them once, and it was amazing to think that Cao Cao had taken so many gold and silver treasures.
In that era of continuous war, there was a shortage of food, even you can't buy it with money, people eat people looks very cruel, so although Cao Cao is called "adulterous male", his strength is not doubted, after that, Cao Cao's tomb robbery team, more and more powerful and professional, is also known as the lieutenant of touching gold, once visited many rich ancient tombs, but also for Cao Cao's strength, provided an economic foundation.
