Chapter 2189

I pulled off the broken cylinder skin and threw it aside, and took a closer look! I saw that there was a small jar as big as a human head hidden in about the middle of the lower half of Daqian Mountain!

This small jar is dark brown overall, unglazed, has a round mouth, a narrow belly, and tie ears on the left and right sides. This shape is a typical style of the late Southern Song Dynasty!

If you don't break open the cylinder skin! This clairvoyant eye can't even detect it!

Next, I was very careful and used a screwdriver and a hammer to cut the big money mountain into two halves. In the process, a lot of copper coins were scattered. The scattering was inevitable. I grabbed two handfuls and looked at them. I saw the earliest coins. The latest five baht in the Han Dynasty should be in the Xianchun period.

I took out a small jar and laid it flat on the ground. I picked up a hammer and smashed it directly.

In an instant, a dozen palm-sized boat-shaped silver ingots fell out! Glowing like snowflakes! Also falling out was a piece of rotten paper that was oxidized to the point of yellowing.

Snowflake silver, twenty-five taels of snowflake silver! These boat-shaped silver ingots are very strange. They are of high quality and extremely pure. They are much better than the military pay silver at that time. The piece of paper should be a letter at that time. It is rotten now. Most of the handwriting cannot be seen completely, but part of it can still be seen.

"In the autumn of the second year of Jingding, in Jiaxu, the beautiful Miao family gave birth to a prince. She was congratulated by virtue and was sentenced to prison in the three capitals for first-class imprisonment. I released her and gave the troops one thousand taels of money."

It dawned on me.

It turned out to be a silver reward, but since it was a silver reward, it should have been distributed to the entire army. How could it be hidden in a small jar?

I frowned and secretly guessed the reason.

There are probably more than two hundred taels in this small jar. It is impossible for an ordinary Southern Song Dynasty officer and soldier to be rewarded so much. If the thousand taels are divided equally, a person can get half a tael of silver, even if he burns incense.

Do the math and it will become clear.

The ancient soldiers on TV who could casually take out a handful of silver from their arms to buy wine are all fake. According to records, the monthly military salary of an ordinary soldier in the Southern Song Dynasty ranged from about 400 to 600 yuan, which is a compromise. Five hundred articles.

Usually money is one thousand taels, and one thousand taels is one tael. That five hundred taels is only half a tael of wages.

In the Song Dynasty, 16 taels was equivalent to one pound, and half a tael was equivalent to 15 grams of broken silver. This amount of money was enough to have a drink or find a girl to have fun.

There are more than two hundred taels here. It cannot be a reward distributed to someone. The only reasonable explanation I can think of is that this reward was embezzled by someone and was not distributed. This person secretly hid the money himself. into this little jar. Anyway, this man is an unknown person in Lu Wende's army. He is really the sixth child.

When the silver ingots were first unearthed, they would oxidize and turn black if exposed to the air for a long time. If they were too dark, the selling price would be affected. I found a washbasin and filled it with a basin of water. I soaked a dozen silver ingots in the water to isolate them from the air. Then I prepared to smash other tanks.

"who!"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, followed by a female voice.

"Hello, I am the landlord who rented the house to you. I heard that you moved a lot of big boxes in. I want to remind you to be careful not to scratch the wooden floor!"

"What are you doing? Can I come in and look at the floor?"

I shouted loudly: "It's inconvenient! I'm taking a shower! I'll be careful about the floor!"

At this moment, I cursed the intermediary bloody in my heart! Because he told me before that the landlord was out of town! You won't be disturbed when you stay here!

"Taking a shower? The nozzle broke a long time ago. Why do you take a shower?"

I loudly said that the nozzle was replaced this morning!

After waiting for a while, the landlady's voice disappeared outside the door. At this time, I still held the hammer tightly in my hand, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Where did I think of it, the next second, I suddenly heard a Kata sound!

Then, the door handle began to slowly turn to the left.
