"What?" Even Li Zhao was shocked. This is not a large pond, but it is actually fifteen feet deep (approximately fifty meters)?
This must have been produced decades or even hundreds of years ago. At that time, it was possible to dig a puddle about fifty meters deep?
The puddle is not very big, about 20 meters long and 11 to 12 meters wide.
If it is about fifty meters deep, how long will it take to dig?
Since it's so deep here, how deep is it on the other side?
The source of the reservoir is these two ponds, and the water in these two ponds comes from the small waterfalls above. Even without the small waterfalls above, Li Zhao can be sure that the water in these two ponds will not It’s dry, but it’s still living water.
Because there must be groundwater emerging from the bottom.
"Your Highness, the treasure is in those houses..." Liu Laogen said excitedly, pointing to the dilapidated houses.
Li Zhao followed Liu Laogen's hand and looked at the dilapidated and collapsed houses.
"Go and have a look."
Liu Laogen led the way, and Li Bin and others picked up the guy.
Liu Laogen was familiar with the road and used his own tools to remove all the dead branches and leaves accumulated on it, and touches of gold appeared.
It's all gold?
Li Zhao was stunned. To be honest, he didn't quite believe it when Liu Laogen said there was a treasure.
With his current net worth, if he didn't have millions of taels, he wouldn't think it was a treasure.
"Dig it up."
Li Zhao gave an order, and Li Bin immediately called for everyone in King You's guard to take action.
The dilapidated house was torn apart, and the former earthen walls had long since decayed under the erosion of time. Many of the earthen blocks were broken at the touch of a touch, and the wood was also in a state of decay.
The more Li Bin and others dug, the more frightened they became. There were so many boxes stacked inside that it was terrifying.
If you didn't look carefully, who would have thought that there are so many things in it?
The box seemed to be well maintained. Although there were signs of decay, it was still preserved.
Li Zhao frowned, this was definitely not something the villagers could hide.
The vacant land was cleared, and the cleaning work continued. Large boxes were excavated one after another, and many things even appeared that shocked Li Zhaodu.
There are dozens of boxes alone, and there are even more yellow and white things.
"dig."
Li Bin ordered, and he found that the area around the house seemed not simple, and there seemed to be a lot of things buried.
When everyone started to swing their hoes, they could hear a clanging sound.
Li Bin and others were overjoyed. Sure enough, there were a lot of gold and silver jewelry under the ground.
How can ordinary villagers have such financial resources?
The excavation work lasted for half an hour before it came to an end.
Li Zhao looked at the mountains of belongings piled up in the open space, as if he was dreaming.
"Your Highness, we have finished digging." Li Bin and the others were sweating profusely and panting.
Li Zhao said "hard work" and squatted next to the gold and silver. It could be seen that the gold and silver were not taken seriously by the original owner and there were signs of oxidation.
But as long as it is cleaned, it can be used.
Different dynasties will have special marks. Li Zhao knew at a glance that this was definitely not owned by the Wu Kingdom. Could it be the work of Da Da?
"Does anyone know him?" Li Zhao looked at the people around him.
Although he is a time traveler, he doesn't recognize this thing.
"Your Highness." Someone in King You's guard actually knew him. He stepped forward to identify it carefully and said, "This is a relic from the previous dynasty."
"Daqian Dynasty?"
"That's right!"
Li Zhao showed a look of surprise. Doesn't that mean that the history here is at least one hundred and twenty years?
"Go get some water and count out the gold and silver first." Li Zhao ordered: "All participants today will be rewarded."
Whether it was Liu Laogen or You Wangwei, everyone's expressions were overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Although Li Zhao did not give any reward, they would not say anything.
"Liu Laogen, you are not moved when you see these?" Li Bin stared at Liu Laogen with playful eyes.
Liu Laogen's chrysanthemums tightened and he said: "Your Majesty, money and silk are very attractive. If I say that I am not moved, I must be lying."
"Oh?" Li Bin's smile became even stronger: "If you were really greedy for ink, we wouldn't know about it."
Liu Laogen shook his head quickly and said: "Although the old man was greedy for a moment, he still held back."
"Why?"
"Although the old man is illiterate, the old man of our Wu Kingdom has been watching the writing of Wu Kingdom since he was a child. Looking at the year of this thing, it is not from our Wu Kingdom. Besides, old man, I followed His Highness, so even if I really took it secretly , I don’t dare to spend it in my life, because flowers mean exposing the truth, and if I betray the prince because of this, it’s really not worth it.”
Liu Laogen chuckled and said, "I have calculated that as long as I don't make any mistakes, if I follow the prince until the end of my life, my earnings may not be less than secretly stealing an ingot of gold."
Li Zhao laughed and scolded him to "get lost", and then Li Bin smiled and hugged Liu Laogen to wash the gold and silver jewelry.
Of course he also knew that Li Bin was just speaking for him. As the most core member of the palace, Li Bin knew very well that there were some things that the prince could not say or ask.
But it doesn't matter to him as a subordinate.
Since ancient times, money has attracted people's hearts, and even brothers can turn against each other, not to mention that they have nothing to do with each other.
However, although Liu Laogen was old, he lived and thought clearly. After weighing the pros and cons, he still suppressed the desire and greed in his heart.
Because he knew very well that Li Zhao was not a stingy person. Since he discovered the treasure, His Highness would definitely reward him.
While they were all washing the gold and silver jewelry, Li Zhao's eyes fell on the box, which was almost rotten.
Judging from the traces at the scene, the owner here valued the box more than the gold and silver jewelry.
Although Li Zhao was very curious, he did not act rashly. Who knows if these insidious ancients would have left behind any hidden weapons or the like?
If a poisonous arrow shoots out the moment he opens it, he will definitely not be able to dodge it.
Li Zhao was very patient, wandering around the two deep ponds, and couldn't help but look down the mountain. Such a prosperous scenery was really pleasing to the eye.
You can vaguely see the outline of the reservoir here, but it's still too small.
Li Zhao felt something in his heart and immediately asked someone to take out a pen and paper and start writing and drawing. The original intention of building the reservoir was to be prepared and for multiple considerations.
If there is a flash flood, dredging rivers and drainage ditches below are key to minimizing losses.
If there is a drought and no rain in the summer, the water source in the reservoir will be everyone's life-saving straw. Even if there is no drought, it does not matter, because the water source in the reservoir is living water and can raise many fish and shrimps.
These are food, resources, and money.
Just when Li Zhao started to plan how to quickly drain the water here, Li Bin ran over happily and said: "Your Highness, everything has been counted."
"How many?" Li Zhao put down the pen and paper in his hand and asked.
