"No wonder Huang Chao and Wen Tao didn't get this mountain mausoleum back then!"
"It seems that in the end, we got an advantage, it got us a discount!"
"Walk!"
"Let's take a look!"
Xu Xian said as he carefully walked from the mountainside to a temporary wooden bridge made of wooden planks.
Along this winding and rugged wooden bridge, Xu Xian walked carefully along the way.
After a while, Xu Xian finally reached a bridge close to the entrance of the tomb.
"His Majesty!"
"You're here!"
"Look, we have smashed through the dozens of stone bars blocking the entrance to the tomb!"
"There is only one stone gate left now. However, the stone gate is extremely huge and strong. We tried our best but could not break it open. Now, Your Majesty is here in person. You can also help us figure out how to open it.
It’s up!”
Taoist Master Qing Yan came over at this time and introduced Xu Xian.
"well!"
"Let's see today how many treasures Li Shimin brought into the mountain tomb during his lifetime!"
"I also hope that this mountain mausoleum can help our Ming Dynasty temporarily survive this difficult moment!"
Xu Xian couldn't help but said.
"Tough times?"
"Why does Your Majesty say this?"
On the side, Yue Zhen was a little puzzled.
"Oh, maybe you don't understand!"
"After experiencing this war with the Song Dynasty and re-investing in a series of productions, our Ming Dynasty treasury is almost empty!"
"So if this mountain mausoleum can obtain the wealth we want, it will be a long time coming for our Ming Dynasty!"
"Let's go see what's going on with that solid stone door first!"
Xu Xian sighed with emotion.
After a while, Xu Xian came to the entrance of the cave. At this time, two huge stone gates appeared in front of him. On the stone gates were engraved the portraits of two generals, Qin Qiong and Jingde.
Moreover, where the two stone doors meet, there are obvious traces of rust and decay, as if iron slurry had been poured into them.
There are still two huge decayed copper shop heads hanging on the two stone doors, but the locks connecting the two copper shop heads are no longer visible.
Looking at the porch above the stone door, there is a white marble carving of a flying dragon playing with a phoenix. The flying dragon is especially lifelike, and its eyes seem to be sparkling.
Xu Xian immediately wiped the flying dragon with his sleeve, and immediately a light flashed out. It turned out that the flying dragon's eyes were actually a huge luminous pearl.
Xu Xian now pulled out the luminous pearl, but after pulling it out several times, he couldn't pull it out at all.
So Xu Xian simply patted it with his hand. Unexpectedly, the night pearl immediately sank in.
Immediately afterwards, there was a violent tremor like an earthquake.
Xu Xian thought that a landslide was about to happen, so he quickly took his people and evacuated first.
But I didn't expect that after this wave of shaking, a gap actually appeared between the two huge stone doors.
"His Majesty!"
"It seems that the bead you pressed just now unintentionally is the mechanism that opens the stone door!"
"It seems that God is destined to give this mountain treasure to your Majesty!"
Taoist Master Qing Yan exclaimed at this time.
"yes!"
"It seems that God is destined to give the treasure here to your Majesty!"
Yue Zhen also followed suit.
"Yeah?"
"Let's open the stone door first and see if there is really a so-called treasure inside!"
Of course, Xu Xian also wanted to see if Zhaoling really contained what was recorded.
So Xu Xian personally directed the crowd to push open the two huge stone doors.
Unexpectedly, countless golden lights shone out from inside.
So Xu Xian quickly ordered someone to bring a torch and shine it inside.
After discovering the stone gate, a dazzling array of gold, jade, and bronze items were accumulated, even blocking the entire passage.
Because the stone door was pushed open with force, many of the artifacts that were supposed to be behind the stone door were deformed and damaged.
"Is this the rumored prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty?"
"yes!"
"I didn't expect that Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, who advocated sparse burials and built his mausoleum on mountains, would be buried with so many gold and silver treasures. It's really shocking!"
"This...this is just the corridor at the gate!"
"I wonder how much gold and silver there will be in the side rooms, the main room, and the back room!"
"It seems that after your Majesty gets these gold and silver treasures, our Ming Dynasty will be rich!"
"So rich!"
"This is really the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the prosperous Tang Dynasty is coming back again!"
Xu Xian and others were shocked when they saw the scene in front of them.
So Xu Xian was not in a hurry to let anyone touch the property for the time being. He went forward and inspected it by the firelight.
"At first glance, this bead is a tribute from the Western Regions. In terms of value, it is worth at least a hundred taels of silver!"
Xu Xian first picked up a bead.
"This golden bowl is engraved with the four characters 'for use by the eldest grandson'. It looks like it was the imperial vessel used by the eldest grandson in those days!"
"But it is actually placed at the door of this big tomb. It seems that the artifacts that were buried with Empress Taizong's eldest grandson must have been out of place, so this golden bowl was placed here!"
"It seems that the treasure inside will only be more valuable than the treasure here, even more valuable!"
Later, Xu Xian picked up another golden bowl.
"This string of beads is produced in the Western Regions. The beads are engraved with clear scriptures, which proves how precious this string of beads is. It is definitely a valuable item!"
Immediately, Xu Xian picked up another string of Buddhist beads.
"Command down!"
"Let the women involved in gold-making come here first!"
"Let the woman collect these things here!"
"Remember, you must handle it with care and try not to damage any treasures!"
"All jade and the like are put into one box, gold items are put into one box, and silver items are put into one box. Be sure to distinguish the types of treasures and don't mix them up!"
"Mark each box for easy identification during handling!"
"Others can come in to help these women carry their things, but no one is allowed to embezzle treasures, otherwise they will be killed without mercy!"
"If anything like bamboo, wood, silk, or paper appears, stop picking it up immediately and report it to me!"
"All the treasures we have obtained will be gathered together and handled by me personally!"
"Anyone who disobeys orders and acts randomly will be executed!"
Of course Xu Xian doesn't want these treasures to cause chaos.
After a while, as expected, a group of people each performed their duties and began to pack the treasures in the boxes that had been prepared and began to transport them down the mountain.
"What box is this!"
Xu Xian became concerned as he watched boxes of treasures being moved down the mountain.
"Return to Your Majesty!"
"This is already the fiftieth box!"
The soldiers carrying it stopped when they saw Xu Xian asking.
"good!"
"Good job!"
"Our Ming Dynasty will not treat all of you badly who have worked hard to make our Ming Dynasty strong!"
"If you are tired, remember to rest and drink water!"
"Go for it!"
Of course Xu Xian had to appease these people.
Now there are fifty boxes!
If one box of gold and jade jewelry can buy 5,000 war horses, these fifty boxes will add 250,000 war horses to our Ming Dynasty!
With 250,000 war horses, what a powerful cavalry our Ming Dynasty can develop.
If you don’t buy war horses but use them to buy cattle and sheep, a box of jewelry can buy 100,000 sheep and 30,000 cattle!
In the past three years, the five million soldiers and civilians in our Ming Dynasty have been eating cattle and sheep every day, which is enough, enough!
It's a pity that our Ming Dynasty can only take the Western Region Road through Nemorro to sell these jewelry and artifacts, and all the profits were made by these merchants.
If one day we can use sea transportation to sell these gold and silver jewelry at truly value-for-money prices, then my Ming Dynasty will be stronger and stronger from now on!
Xu Xian could not help but sigh as he watched countless boxes containing gold and jade treasures being moved down the mountain.
