Wei Guogong's Mansion is also the palace of Zhongshan King Xu Da. It occupies an area facing north and faces south, with a depth of 127 meters and a width of 123 meters from east to west. The whole garden covers an area of 25,100 square meters, including a building area of 9,600 square meters and a landscaping area of 15,500 square meters.
It is the oldest existing classical garden of the Ming Dynasty and one of the four famous gardens in the south of the Yangtze River. It also had the title of the first garden in the southern capital during the Ming Dynasty.
Now Geng Bingwen is walking inside with everyone, introducing the scenery inside to everyone. Looking at the empty Zhanyuan (this fate was obtained by Qianlong, and obtaining it means looking at the Yutang, as if in the sky), Geng Bingwen still feels in his heart I couldn't help but feel a little sad.
"I remember that when the King of Zhongshan passed away, the Supreme Emperor also gave him orders and prohibitions. He should not take credit or be arrogant, do not covet women's wealth, deal with problems impartially, and make no mistakes. The only person with such virtues in the world is Xu Da, who has a good reputation and even dies. Later, with great sorrow and honor, he was posthumously named King of Zhongshan, with the posthumous title of Wuning, and was given the title of king for three generations. He was buried in the shadow of Zhongshan, and he was given a Shinto inscription, ranking first among the "six kings" of the founding of the country. But he did not expect that he How come their descendants have become like that bear? Have they all forgotten how their glory and wealth came from? They also share in this Ming Dynasty, alas~~"
Geng Bingwen said while looking at the all-copper fan pavilion.
"Master Marquis, I have something to ask you."
Gui Xinshu, who didn't know how he had followed, looked at Geng Bingwen and said, "Is it true that the folk legend that Emperor Taizu ordered the king of Zhongshan to steam goose to die is true. We are just a little curious. When we were in Jiangnan before, , I have been listening to the officials talking about this matter, and at the same time, they also said that the Ming Emperor was responsible for harming Zhongliang."
After speaking, Gui Xinshu looked at Wen Fanda who had pulled his sleeve before: "Boss Wen, why are you pulling me?"
"It's okay!" Wen Fonda said with a twitch on her face.
He was about to curse this idiot to death. How could he ask such a stupid thing?
"Folklore has it that this kind of story was deliberately fabricated. King Zhongshan contracted back gangrene in Peiping. He was cured originally. But when the Supreme Emperor called him back, he came back too hastily, and the gangrene broke out again. After he came back, Within a few months, people would die. As for the steamed goose, King Zhongshan would eat one every day. It would not kill anyone at all. The cause of death was recurrence of back gangrene. Whoever could make up this story must be a thoughtful person. , but this kind of thing is just to deceive the ignorant people, and cannot deceive those who understand the important affairs of the court. If these people believe this, then these people must be traitors, because only traitors who have done bad things can If you say this, only in this way can you find an excuse for them to steal the people's wealth."
Geng Bingwen's words made Gui Xinshu suddenly realize, "I see, those who say such things are not good people."
As soon as he said this, the five elders of the Wen family immediately felt that this guy was pretending that he didn't know anything. This guy was a good flatterer, much better than them.
Then everyone walked to the back garden. Geng Bingwen looked at the back garden and said, "Look for it. Jianwen's treasure is under a certain house here."
He didn't search according to the book of Blue Blood Sword, because there was no woodshed here, and he didn't have a treasure map, but he had a metal detector. The soldiers and Jin Yiwei of the brigade took the metal detectors and started searching, and they found several places with hidden objects. A place to react.
Then Geng Bingwen ordered excavation, and hundreds of soldiers took shovels and started digging everywhere.
One of them was quite similar to the one in the book. An iron box was found inside, but the box was unlocked. After opening it, I saw a bunch of keys and two pieces of paper in the box. Picking up the paper above, I saw the writing on it: "My uncle's rebellion led to the surrender of all the military officials. Wei Duke Xu Huizu is a meritorious minister and loyal to the country, which is extremely commendable. The inner palace has a lot of treasures, and it is too hasty to carry them. Wei Duke is for me." Keep it. In the future, the ancestral temple and the country will be restored, and this will be used as capital. In June of the fourth year of Jianwen, Geng Shen wrote the imperial pen."
This place should be the Jianwen treasure in the book, but Geng Bingwen was not excited and asked people to continue digging in other places.
"Master Hou, these ten boxes are full of jewelry and jades on top, and gold below. At a rough calculation, they contain more than 19 million taels of silver. Master Hou has made great contributions."
The five elders of the Wen family swallowed their saliva while looking at the gold and silver, and congratulated Geng Bingwen. They had been paying attention to these things since the Wanli period, and they finally risked their lives for this treasure.
"What kind of money is this? It's not enough for the Ming Dynasty to pay taxes for one year. Keep digging."
Listening to Geng Bingwen's words, the five elders of the Wen family looked at each other. If the Ming Dynasty's taxes were more than this, where would the Ming Dynasty still spend the money? They would have gone up to destroy the country, even with money. Smash them to death,
"Don't believe it. When the Ming Dynasty was founded, although the after-tax rate was at the lowest point in the history of the dynasties, it was still more than 20 million taels of silver every year, but it was calculated by converting physical objects into silver. Since the Tumu Fortress, It was only gradually reduced, and the emperors of all dynasties were unwilling to kill, that allowed Jiangnan to become bigger, otherwise the commercial tax of Jiangnan alone would be more than tens of millions of taels every year, you are really lucky."
Geng Bingwen looked at the five elders of the Wen family and said, and the five elders of the Wen family thought for a long time and did not know why they were said to be lucky. It was not until the moment when the Ming cavalry began to sweep the world again that they knew why they were lucky. Because all the gangsters and gangsters in the Jianghu were surrounded and suppressed by the Ming Dynasty's cavalry, and only those who had joined the factory guards could save their families from the bloodbath and occupy the territory in the later development. Take the initiative.
At that time, they all dragged their disabled and exhausted bodies and said that they were really lucky.
But that was for the future. They were now looking at the other places. Dozens of large boxes were also taken out there. Together with the previous ten, there were eighty people. They also checked them one by one. , couldn't help but gasped.
Each bite is the same as the previous one. If you calculate it this way, it's ten million and five thousand taels.
This money made them all jealous. If they hadn't all put on official clothes, they would have wanted to vote.
"Okay, it's twice as good as the one I did in the capital."
An Jian said with clear eyes.
"I also have a lot of silver here, a full 20,000 taels."
Cao Huachun came over from outside with Yu Zhenzi.
Yu Zhenzi's outfit has become even more luxurious. A purple fairy cave robe is embroidered with gold threads and is full of auspicious patterns such as Yuluo Xiaotai, sun, moon and stars, Bagua, pagodas, dragons and phoenixes, cranes and unicorns. On her head It is also a pure hibiscus crown with gold and silver filigree flowers, and cloud shoes on its feet.
Taoist hairpins, swords of wisdom, gourds, fly whisks, and yin and yang rings are all attached to his body one by one. At first glance, he looks like a Taoist master.
