After walking to the dark door, Ai Li sighed, turned around and said to Zhu Yu and the others again:
"This is the holy place of our ancestors. After you enter, you are only allowed to look at it. You are not allowed to take pictures or make loud noises. Please come out after you have seen it."
After saying that, he slowly walked inside.
Yin Kelamu hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
As he walked inside, Zhu Yu realized why he was holding on - the gate was originally about ten meters high, but now it was blocked by dust and only five or six meters were exposed.
The building inside is still flat, so you have to walk up a relatively steep slope to enter from the door.
This old man, Aili, is not young at all. It is easy for him to fall if he is not supported.
It was completely dark inside, and everyone except Zhu Yu had to adapt to it for a while before seeing the whole picture.
The space inside is quite large, but it looks a bit rundown.
Twelve rough-looking stone pillars stood on both sides, with a stone platform in the middle.
This stone platform is round in shape and has three floors. Each floor is half a meter high, and the top one is about three meters in diameter.
Zhu Yu had some guesses about the function of this stone platform.
He looked up and found that there was a relief of a wolf on the top of the hall, with the wolf's head downwards, facing the round platform.
From the outside, this building should look very long, but after entering, the area of the hall is only two hundred square meters, which is not particularly large.
It's quite high.
The expert suddenly asked:
"Is this an altar?"
Of course he was asking about Eli.
Ali Mujiang was very dedicated and immediately translated in a low voice for Zhu Yu.
Zhu Yu glanced at the expert, a little surprised. Unexpectedly, this expert thought of him together.
In his opinion, this should be an altar!
As for whether to offer sacrifices to the wolf god or to heaven, it is not clear.
"Yes." Ai Li was not surprised. As an expert, he was well-informed in this regard.
But he also saw that after walking around here, the expert was quite disappointed.
It’s normal to think about it. It sounds quite mysterious, but there is just such a hall, an altar, twelve pillars, and nothing else.
Although this hall seems to be cleaned frequently, over time, the walls have grown covered with moss, water seeps from the corners, and the stone skin on the walls has peeled off.
There are even traces of cuts and axes on the stone pillars.
Apart from that, there is nothing else.
So is this valuable?
To say that there is, of course, there is.
But to say how big it is, it’s really not that big!
Otherwise, Yin Silamu would not just think about attracting experts and giving up this place in exchange for some resources that are enough for the tribe residents to live a good life!
Seeing the expert's expression, Aili was a little disappointed.
In fact, he also knew that it would not be easy to invite experts to come and exchange the conditions for the tribe to live a good life with just such a hall and an altar.
Therefore, there was also this reason for not supporting Yin Kelamu before.
In fact, no matter which generation, there are tribal members who have had the idea of this hall.
In their opinion, a tribe guarded this hall for their ancestors, so this hall must have its own mystery. ….
A long time ago, the residents of the tribe would regularly perform sacrifices on the altar to worship the wolf god, hoping that the wolf god would bless the tribe or bestow good luck.
But after so many years of worship, it is of no use.
Later, after the war, everyone was poor. Grave robbers came and were caught and beaten half to death by the tribesmen. Before his death, the tribesmen interrogated and learned that the cultural relics outside were now very valuable.
So someone came up with the idea of this hall, thinking that there must be treasures buried under this hall.
But the main hall is being looked after every day, so digging is not possible.
Besides, it is difficult to dig out such heavy rocks.
So I dug holes around, but found nothing.
Ai Li himself also heard from the elders in the tribe that there was a time when the entire tribe agreed to rummage through the hall to see if there were any hidden treasures.
In the end nothing was found.
It is said that it also angered the Wolf God and brought disaster to the tribe.
Now that the expert had this expression, Aili and Yin Kelamu turned their attention to Zhu Yu.
Zhu Yu walked to the altar and looked at it.
There is a small pit in the middle of the altar. I don't know what it is for.
He did not go up to the altar. He felt that even if he wanted to go up, Aili and the others might not let him go up.
He cast his gaze around the hall.
Originally, the wolf-shaped building was almost more than a hundred meters long when viewed from the outside, but now the hall is only fifty meters long inside.
So what is done with the remaining space?
The Heavenly Eye glanced over, and under the stone skin on the walls around the hall, twelve simple reliefs with wolves as the center appeared.
These reliefs are covered with stone skin and cannot be seen in the main hall now.
On the wall facing the main entrance, there is a door in the middle. It was also blocked by stone skin.
Behind this door are layers of stone doors, six layers in total!
Behind the six-story stone doors, each half a meter thick, is a huge space!
Sure enough, there is something fishy!
There is no problem with seeing through the stone layer with the Celestial Eye. The problem is that it becomes a little difficult when it goes too deep.
When he was about to continue watching, Yin Kelamu had already walked to Zhu Yu's side and asked:
"Mr. Zhu Yu, after reading this, do you have anything to say?"
Zhu Yu did not speak immediately, but used his heavenly eye again, glanced at the hidden space behind, and suddenly said with a smile:
"I can give your tribe a sum of money to allow you to leave this place and live in a city or a gathering area, but the premise is..."
"How much can you give us?" Before Aili could speak, Yin Kelamu couldn't help but speak.
He has already seen that the two experts may not be able to give any good conditions.
After all, it’s just such a big hall, so it’s obvious that they don’t really pay much attention to it.
But since this Chinese person has proposed it, it is really possible to give it!
The key now is how much money to give!
Zhu Yu did not answer directly, but asked Alimujiang to ask a key question:
"If the funds I provide satisfy you, can the ownership of this land be transferred to me?"
"Yes!" Before Aili could speak, Yin Kelamu was still answering. ….
"No! You can't transfer this place to others!" Although experts feel that applying for funds and resources from above for this hall is definitely limited, but now it can be seen that this Chinese man is determined to win this place!
Then he would stop it as a habit!
Alimujiang has been translating.
After hearing what this expert said, Zhu Yu smiled and stretched out his hand:
"Then you come first. Tell me your conditions first and see if they will agree to you. I'm not in a hurry."
After saying that, he stopped talking and looked like a bystander.
The expert didn't expect that he would be picked on by Zhu Yu just after saying a word.
He looked at the eyes of Aili and Yin Kelamu looking at him, swallowed his saliva, and said:
"This...I still need to report to my superior. I will report your requests to my superiors. I think my superiors will try their best to meet your requirements..."
Eli smiled weakly.
He didn't speak, but Yin Kelamu didn't care about the expert's face and said dissatisfiedly:
"Then you should report it now! We don't want to hear such perfunctory words as 'Try to be satisfied as much as possible!"
He then turned his attention to Zhu Yu.
Zhu Yu stopped talking, but turned around and walked out of the hall.
Alimujiang and Ran Jie followed immediately.
Outside, Zhu Yu looked at the mountain grassland and couldn't help but sigh:
"What a great place!"
Alimujiang also said:
"It's true! The grass here is really good, and there are pine trees on the mountains. If we can get this piece of land, it will definitely be very good for pasture!"
An expert's voice came from inside, and it sounded like he was trying to persuade Aili and Yin Kelamu. After hearing this, Alimujiang smiled and said to Zhu Yu:
"The expert advised the two of them to take the overall situation into consideration."
Zhu Yu smiled and said nothing.
There are people like this who engage in moral kidnapping everywhere. Zhu Yu can guarantee that if Yin Kelamu directly said to the expert: There is no need to devote too many resources, you only need to personally contribute half of the family property, and we will hand over the palace to the country, this expert will definitely not Agreed!
It is the easiest to tolerate others' generosity, and it is also the easiest to be hated by others.
While walking back while admiring the scenery, Zhu Yu was surprised to find that there were many ancient Codonopsis pilosula, licorice and other medicinal materials growing in this mountain pasture. Looking at the branches of Codonopsis pilosula, they are at least several decades old.
The bottom is even more terrifying, one and a half meters long and with thick arms!
It seems like there are really good things here!
Zhu Yu sighed, then went down the mountain and returned to the yurt.
Qin Fei and Cao Dalong came up early and were relieved when they saw that Zhu Yu and the others were okay.
Cao Dalong was still curious and couldn't help but ask:
"How's the harvest? Is the deal done?"
Ran Jie glared at him, and Cao Dalong became speechless.
Zhu Yu smiled and said:
"Wait and see, now is not the time for us to talk."
Being in business is not a business. Although Zhu Yu is rich, he doesn't want to be taken advantage of.
After almost ten minutes, the two experts, Aili and Yin Kelamu walked out of the mountain.
Yin Kelamu looked a little nervous and walked faster. When he came out and saw Zhu Yu and the others were still there, he breathed a sigh of relief. ….
Zhu Yu wanted to laugh, he knew that Yin Kelamu probably wanted to talk to him.
After all, giving money in real terms is the only way to negotiate a deal. Just shouting slogans can easily annoy people.
However, the expert took advantage of his status. After he came down from the mountain, he said that he would report to his superiors and asked Aili and the others not to make a decision quickly, so Aili and the others had no choice but to ask Zhu Yu and the others to wait.
Zhu Yu didn't care, and took advantage of this time to let Alimujiang take him to the pine forest near the mountain to pick up mushrooms.
"This season is when morels are growing in the mountains, and there might be some in this pine forest."
Alimujiang's home is not far from the border. The geographical environment on both sides is relatively similar, so Alimujiang seems to be very experienced.
Zhu Yu was also happy to relax, and the group entered the mountain and started to get up.
After more than an hour's work, I didn't find any morels, but I found a lot of other mushrooms and wild vegetables.
When they came out, they found that Ai Li, Yin Kelamu and others were waiting impatiently.
"What did the experts say?" Zhu Yu handed the wild vegetables to Qin Fei and asked with a smile.
Alimujiang translated immediately.
"They said that if anyone here is willing to move out, they will arrange for us to settle in a nearby town."
"What about compensation?" Zhu Yu believed that even if it was symbolic, the other party would give some compensation.
"One hundred thousand tenge per person..."
Zhu Yu has been here for a long time. He almost knows the exchange rate and understands it in a flash of his mind:
"In other words, compensation of two hundred dollars per person?"
"Yes." Yin Kelamu's tone was sometimes helpless and angry.
"They plan to turn this place into a tourist attraction, but because it's too far away, they say they won't invest much and not many people will come, so they only give us a small amount of compensation. But they promised us that if it is built,
As for tourist attractions, several people from our tribe can work as staff at the attractions... If they are unwilling to move, then each person will be compensated 10,000 tenge - that is, twenty US dollars..."
This is too little!
Zhu Yu shook his head:
"Then what do you think?"
"We want to hear your conditions, Mr. Zhu." Yin Kelamu looked at Zhu Yu with strong expectations in his eyes, "If the conditions you give us are acceptable, then we agree to sell that piece of land to you!"
Zhu Yu thought for a while and said:
"Sell me the one-kilometer area around that hall, and I'll give your tribe half a million dollars."
"Really?" Yin Kelamu's eyes lit up!
The total number of people in the entire tribe does not exceed one hundred. So on average, each person will receive at least 5,000 U.S. dollars in compensation, which is equivalent to more than 2 million tenge!
The gap is huge!
Moreover, Zhu Yu only needs one kilometer of land there, which only accounts for a few tenths of their pasture!
This price is really great!
Yin Kelamu almost wanted to agree right away!
But he still held back and said:
"I need to discuss this with my father..."
Then he turned around and ran away!
He was afraid that if he stayed a little longer, he would agree directly!
After Alimujiang finished translating, he couldn't help but ask Zhu Yu:
"Boss, you should be able to see that the temptation of half a million dollars is very great for them! Will we be in danger...?"
"Don't worry." Zhu Yu smiled, "Ran Jie and the others will protect us. Besides, if they want to move out, they won't be able to do something like this."
Zhu Yu believed in Ran Jie's ability and Yin Kelamu's determination to move out.
Sure enough, it didn't take long before Ai Li and Yin Kelamu hurried over.
"Mr. Zhu really exchanged half a million dollars for that square kilometer of grassland?" Ai Li looked at Zhu Yu and asked solemnly.
One square kilometer is equivalent to 1,500 acres of land, which is quite a lot.
But now the animal husbandry industry is not very prosperous, or the global economy is not very prosperous.
For the tribes engaged in animal husbandry, which belongs to the initial level, the price of cattle and sheep sold from them is actually very cheap.
And the livestock industry is actually very fragile. Can't afford it.
So when Aili heard Yin Kelamu say that Zhu Yu had offered half a million dollars to buy the land, he was immediately moved!
The total assets of all the tribes are not even half a million US dollars! .
