In TV dramas, we often see emperors bestowing golden books and iron scrolls to their ministers. When Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang came to the throne, he rewarded many golden books and iron scrolls, which were all gold medals for immunity from death. It's a pity that those ministers became arrogant after they got the gold medal for immunity from death, which made the people miserable. In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang still found a way to take back the gold medal for immunity from death, and also killed batches of ministers.

There are also collections of gold books and iron scrolls in domestic museums, but they are not as old as the one in my hand.

Li Mo looked carefully and saw that the gold book was rolled into a tile shape, about 50 centimeters long and 30 centimeters wide. It had a gold-embedded inscription on the front, and it seemed that the number of words must not be less than 300 words.

"Associate Professor Li, which emperor awarded this gold medal for immunity from death?"

The people next to him also wanted to take a look, but there was a live broadcast camera pointed at Li Mo. If other people squeezed in to watch, their view would definitely be blocked.

"This is a golden book and iron scroll issued by Emperor Zhaozong of the Tang Dynasty to reward Qian, the king of Pengcheng, at the end of the Tang Dynasty. It clearly says, 'You will be spared nine deaths, but your descendants will be exempted from three deaths. Misfortunes will be punished with regular punishments, and there will be no additional punishment.' That is to say. The king of Pengcheng can be exempted from the death penalty nine times if he breaks the law, and his descendants can be exempted from the death penalty three times. If other laws of the country are violated, the relevant officials are not allowed to interfere."

Li Mo brought the golden book and iron scroll close to the camera and pointed out the key points one by one, such as Tang Zhaozong, King Pengcheng and the words about avoiding death.

"If I remember correctly, this golden book and iron scroll from the late Tang Dynasty is the earliest extant death-free gold medal. It is worthy of our careful study. Such an antique is at least a first-class national cultural relic."

Professor Zhu Changping added on the side.

"Come on, protect it and put it away again."

Li Mo asked Shibin to bring a second safe. He used an air bag as a layer of protection. Because of its large size, one safe could only be used to place the death-free gold medal.

For every antique that comes out, Li Mo will try his best to explain it in as much detail as possible, so the speed of collecting the treasure is relatively slow.

"Associate Professor Li, this wooden box is very heavy. Why is there a stone in it?"

Stone?

It shouldn't be possible.

Li Mo hurriedly stepped forward to take a look and couldn't help but smile and said: "It's really a stone, but this thing is not an ordinary stone, but an emerald stone."

Lift the wooden box from the bottom and place it gently on the ground. Li Mo was not polite and slapped his hands twice. The wooden box shattered into pieces, revealing an oval-shaped stone with gray-brown leather stripes.

This jadeite rough stone has five windows, revealing the green stone inside. Judging from the color and luster, it is of the imperial green variety.

"It seems that the people of the island country are not stupid. This is a piece of imperial green jadeite stone, which weighs about seventy kilograms. If the imperial green stone is more than 70%, then the price of this jadeite stone will be very high. Based on the current market value, it can be worth two to three hundred million."

Li Mo had nothing to appraise for this imperial green jade stone, so Yitong glanced at it and put the stone aside.

He still has a lot of this stuff left at home. Fortunately, this piece of imperial green jadeite was found in this treasure house, and it can be regarded as a stone of historical significance. Even if it were placed in a museum, its market value would be worth more than 90% of antiques.

At this time, a soldier came into the room carrying a new wooden box. It looked like the wooden box had just been made.

The soldier put the jade stone into a new wooden box, and then stood aside with his head held high. Just kidding, stones worth hundreds of millions are more precious than those antiques. If others could choose, 99% of them would definitely choose the imperial green jadeite rough stone.

"Associate Professor Li, please answer if you hear me."

Suddenly a voice came from the intercom.

"I am here."

"Please go outside the cave and someone will come to find out about the situation."

Why would someone come to me, make such a big show of things, and then go out on my own? Li Mo wanted to refuse, but he saw Shibin standing not far away and nodded slightly towards him.

After receiving his reminder, Li Mo knew that the person outside was most likely a big leader in the army.

"Okay, I'll be out right away."

When Li Mo went out, he walked into another cave. Looking around, he saw a few people standing not far away. They were basically about fifty years old and wore regular military uniforms, but their shoulders could not be seen. How high is the military rank?

"I wonder if that's the one who's looking for me?"

He had never seen any of the big leaders in the armies across from them, but they must be from the Northern Army Corps if they could enter the Changbai Mountains without any hindrance.

"Are you Li Mo?"

Li Mo looked at the middle-aged man who asked the question. He had never seen him before, but he felt that he and Zhiqin still had many similarities in appearance.

Could he be the one competing with the Jinmen Wang family?

"Are you Uncle Zhou?"

"Hahaha, you can tell at a glance. Yunli and Zhiqin got engaged a few days ago, but I couldn't make it to their wedding banquet due to work reasons."

"My uncle and Uncle Qin are also very busy every day. It's normal for them not to go home for several months. Uncle Zhou, do you have anything to ask me about?"

"Of course it's about the gold treasures. Judging from the current lifting and transporting speed of helicopters, the work efficiency is really low. It probably won't take more than a month to move all the gold treasures inside. It takes too long. So. I'll think about your suggestion, and I'd better do it like the scene you used to transport treasures from Burma."

"Uncle Zhou, how many people can you mobilize here?"

"Three thousand people are no problem."

"Although there are a few people, it is better than none. Uncle Zhou, when can a team of 3,000 people enter the mountain?"

"We'll be there early tomorrow morning."

"That's good. If I finish the work here earlier, I can return to Kyoto earlier. Uncle Zhou, why don't you follow me in and have a look? There are several live broadcast teams in the cave. How about you show up and say a few words?"

"Forget it, we didn't want to disturb anyone when we came here this time, so we called you out for a brief communication. In this case, we can just implement the strategy we just decided."

These people didn't stay long. They probably came here to show off to someone. After all, the Changbai Mountains were on their territory, so it would be unreasonable if they didn't show up from beginning to end.

After they were far away, Li Mo returned to the cave.

Zhu Changping and the others did not have the ability to identify treasures like Li Mo. They just labeled each antique step by step, and then slowly conducted research and appraisal when they returned to Kyoto in the future.

"Associate Professor Li, come here and take a look. What kind of antique is this?"

Director Fu waved to Li Mo and pointed at the strange antique placed on the ground.
