Chapter 3154: We got rich
After the second box was opened, it was filled with official silver.
Although ancient official silver is no longer in circulation in modern society, it still has a certain collection value and can be sold for a lot of money, but it must have a shipping channel.
Fortunately, Zhao Xu knew Jian Feng, the owner of the largest antique store in the country, and could use him to cash out the official silver.
In the antique market, ten taels of official silver from the Qing Dynasty can be fetched for more than 3,000 yuan. At its peak, it can be sold for more than 5,000 yuan.
If it were sold according to the market price of silver, it would be more than a dozen yuan per gram. A large box full of silver coins could be sold for a lot.
When the disciples of Xuannv Palace saw the official silver in the box, they exclaimed: "Wow! We are rich."
Lan Nai looked at Qin Yun.
He meant to ask her, how did Zhao Xu know there was a treasure here?
Qin Yun shook her head and said she didn't know either.
When all thirty boxes were opened, eighteen boxes contained weapons such as swords, bows and crossbows, ten boxes contained official silver, and two boxes contained antiques and murals.
Get rich! Really get rich!
Let’s not talk about how much things like swords are worth.
Ten boxes of official silver, even if exchanged at the market price, is an astronomical sum.
In addition, these two boxes of antique murals are extremely valuable. Among them are calligraphy works by the calligraphy master Wang Xizhi and paintings by Tang Bohu of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhao Xu is a person who knows how to identify antiques. Although he is not as professional as a professional appraiser, he still has a very unique vision.
It must be said that the person who hid these gold and silver treasures, calligraphy, paintings and weapons here was very smart.
First, a treasure house was dug underground. Then, the upper part was transformed into a pond, and the water was led here.
If Zhao Xu hadn't been wearing a "psychic ring", he wouldn't have discovered this batch of gold and silver treasures.
These treasures will sleep here forever and will never see the light of day again.
In this way, it helped "Xuannv Palace" solve the problem of insufficient funds.
Seeing so many gold and silver treasures here, Qin Yun said to Zhao Xu: "President Zhao, this is great! With this batch of gold and silver treasures, we can solve the financial shortage of Xuannv Palace."
Zhao Xu nodded and said, "That's enough!"
"But these boxes are very heavy. How do we get them up?"
Zhao Xu thought for a moment and said, "We can use the principle of leverage! Find some pulleys and install them on a strong shelf. Tie this end with a rope. Only a few people can lift all these boxes up."
Qin Yun smiled slightly and said, "President Zhao is indeed a learned man."
Just do it!
After Zhao Xu, Qin Yun and Lan Na arrived above.
Zhao Xu found a few discarded tire hubs to use as pulleys, and asked disciples from the "Xuannv Palace" to cut down some trees and make a strong frame.
Wrap a strong steel cable around the finished tool.
Droop the other end of the steel cable to the location of the treasure cave.
After tying the treasure box, Zhao Xu shouted: "Pull!"
Several disciples from Xuannv Palace used their strength together, and saw the treasure box gradually lift into the air after it left the ground, and was slowly lifted up.
Qin Yun and Lan Na saw that this method was indeed effective, and both of them looked in high spirits.
After the thirty treasure boxes were completely pulled out, the disciples of Xuannv Palace used carts to push the treasure boxes one by one to the front of the palace.
Zhao Xu suggested to Qin Yun that valuable things such as official silver, calligraphy, paintings, and antiques should be carried into the room.
Qin Yun immediately asked someone to carry the box containing official silver and antiques to one of the vacant houses.
Then, let the disciples of Xuannv Palace take a weapon each from the boxes containing swords and register them in the register.
The disciples of Xuannv Palace each received a weapon for their hands, and they were all very happy.
Zhao Xu looked down upon these weapons and did not take any of them. But with these weapons, the overall strength of "Xuannv Palace" can be greatly improved.
Xuannv Palace is already an ally of Zhao Xu.
The overall strength of Xuannv Palace has been improved, and Zhao Xu is also a direct beneficiary.
At the dinner, Qin Yun raised her glass and said to Zhao Xu: "President Zhao, thank you! If it weren't for your help, we discovered these treasures. I'm afraid we would never know the existence of the treasures in our lifetime."
Zhao Xu smiled and said, "Palace Master, you're welcome! With this batch of treasures, we can solve the lack of funds in Xuannv Palace."
Qin Yun nodded and said, "Yes! It seems that I don't need to borrow money from Chairman Zhao."
Zhao Xu said generously: "It doesn't matter whether you borrow the money or not. However, this is the official bank of the Qing Dynasty. If you don't have special channels, you can't cash it out."
When Qin Yun heard this, she frowned and asked, "What should we do?"
Zhao Xu said: "I do have a way to cash out the money. He is the owner of the largest antique home dealer in the country, called Jian Feng. There should be a branch of his in Gancheng, Qinghai Province. We can transport this batch of official silver to Gancheng
sell."
"Since Chairman Zhao has a channel to realize the cash, let's do what you say! Just as we agreed before, we will split the money 50-50."
"No need!" Zhao Xu shook his head and said, "I'm only interested in calligraphy and painting. Just pick two calligraphy and paintings from those two antique boxes."
"How did that happen? Didn't it make you suffer?"
Zhao Xu smiled and said: "Palace Master, you also know that as the president of the Lincheng Chamber of Commerce, I am not short of money at all. Therefore, this money is nothing to me."
"This..." Qin Yun looked hesitant.
Zhao Xu then added: "There are many disciples in Xuannv Palace, and there are many places where money is needed. It is better to stay and use them as funds for Xuannv Palace."
"Okay then!" Qin Yun nodded.
After this incident, Qin Yun's impression of Zhao Xu reached a higher level. It also strengthened her determination to become an ally with Zhao Xu's "Five Ethnic Village".
Zhao Xu was not only kind to "Xuannv Palace", but also helped "Xuannv Palace" solve the biggest problem of funding.
These gold and silver treasures are not attractive at all to Zhao Xu.
On wealth!
Zhao family, Qin family, Ma family, Xiao family, Zhang family, the five inherited families, any one of them has countless gold and silver treasures.
You know, Shen Wansan was the richest man in the Ming Dynasty at that time.
As Shen Wansan's retainers, the five major families naturally have astonishing wealth.
After the meal, Qin Yun called Zhao Xu into the room alone.
Said to Zhao Xu: "President Zhao, are you going back to Lincheng?"
Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Originally, I wanted to come back to see you, so I went back to Lincheng. But now that I have so much treasure, I have to turn it into cash before I go back."
"How many people do you need?"
