In the 5,000-year history of the mainland, the ancients left us countless precious cultural relics. In addition to what everyone knows, there are countless treasures hidden under the dust of history. The old farmer dug up a piece of rusty iron and handed it over, pulling out a peerless treasure worth 1.875 billion yuan.
In the 90s of the last century, such a strange thing happened. In Zhouhu Village, Lichuan County, Jiangxi Province, an old farmer surnamed Li ploughed the land in the field. Flipping and turning, the hoe seemed to have hit something hard. The old farmer didn't feel like a stone, so he pulled it out, and it turned out to be a piece of rusty iron stained with mud.
Iron is still very valuable, and the old farmer thinks that he can sell it to the scrap collectors. When I got home and washed the rusty iron, I found that it was an iron plaque with the words "Heaven and Earth Meeting" written on it.
Although Uncle Li only has a primary school education, he intuitively judged that this was a cultural relic. He has watched "The Legend of Deer and Ding", and knows that Chen Jinnan is the helmsman who presides over the Heaven and Earth Society, and then looks at this token, he feels that it is not small. People have selfish intentions, so he contacted a cultural relics dealer and opened his mouth to offer 10,000 yuan. Unexpectedly, this cultural relics dealer didn't know the goods, and said that 10 yuan couldn't be more. Uncle Li was so angry that he picked up the token and turned his head to leave.
He went home and thought about it carefully, maybe it was really worthless as the traffickers said, and it was better to hand it over to the relevant departments, which could be regarded as contributing to the country. He handed the token to the village chief, who couldn't see the reason for it, and handed it over to the Lichuan County Cultural Management Office. After being identified by the experts of the Cultural Management Office, this is indeed a token of the Heaven and Earth Society. It is an unearthed artifact.
By consulting the information, you can know that the Heaven and Earth Society is a Qing Dynasty folk secret organization, and everyone will understand its other name, it is "Hongmen", commonly known as the Hong Gang. At that time, the Tiandihui was supported by the middle and lower class people at that time with the slogan of "opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty and doing the right thing for heaven".
So how could the token of the Heaven and Earth Society appear in the field of Zhouhu Village? The staff of the Cultural Affairs Bureau felt that the matter was not simple, so they set up a group to come to Zhouhu Village to conduct a careful investigation.
Sure enough, there was a major discovery. The village has a large ship-like structure that stands out and has attracted the attention of archaeologists. The shape of this building is unique, and it can be said that it does not fit in with the surrounding buildings.
The expert walked into a "houseboat" and observed everything in the house with curiosity. Before I knew it, I walked up the stairs to the roof, and I felt like I was sailing in the sea.
The building is magnificent, and there are many ancient blue brick houses around it, which are like frigates guarding the safety of this "houseboat". Archaeologists felt that the building was not built by ordinary people, so they looked up historical information about the village. A copy of the "Huang Family Tree" was found, which recorded that this houseboat was built by a merchant surnamed Huang in the early Qing Dynasty, and the focus is that 108 ancient houses were built.
However, over the centuries, only 107 have been seen, and no one knows where the last one is. "Huang Family Tree" also recorded that this last room is a secret room, and only the chief helmsman Chen Jinnan and the gang leader Wan Yunlong know the specific location.
"Huang's Family Tree" also wrote: "There are more than 500 boxes of gold bars in the Zhouhu Boathouse, and countless other treasures and weapons. "The local villagers thought it was fake, because no one had found the treasure for hundreds of years.
However, archaeologists speculate that if the account is true, the belongings must have been hidden in the 108th chamber. Later, experts used high-tech to probe the houseboat, but they never found the location of the secret room. Therefore, the legend recorded in the "Huang Family Tree" still needs more archaeological discoveries to verify.
But this did not prevent the old farmer surnamed Li from making contributions to archaeology, and the staff rewarded him with 200 yuan in accordance with the regulations and publicly praised him. Archaeologists claim that the token is more than its own value, as well as the secrets of the genealogy it involves. If the genealogical record is true, using 500 boxes of gold bars, at least 1.8 billion yuan worth of peerless treasures have been drawn.
In the Qing Dynasty, a standard gold bar weighed 10 taels, and in the old days, 1 catty was equal to 16 taels, and it can be calculated that 1 tael is 31.25 grams; that is to say, a gold bar is 312.5 grams, and a box of 50 gold bars is 15,625 grams, multiplied by 500 boxes, and then multiplied by today's average gold price of 240 yuan per gram, resulting in a sky-high price of 1.875 billion yuan!
Therefore, the old farmer dug up a piece of rusty iron and handed it in, pulling out a peerless treasure worth 18.75 yuan. What do you think?
