Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

Xu Damao spoke to Teacher Yan seriously, his expression looking particularly serious.

Then, he continued to explain: "Teacher Yan, you should also know that the value of jade depends on the material it is made of."

"If this is top-grade mutton-fat jade from Xinjiang Hotan, then the price will definitely not be too low. Just this piece of jade, not counting the gold thread, can be sold for at least ten yuan!"

"But this piece of jade is obviously not of the best quality, so even though it is very old, maybe an antique from hundreds of years ago, its price is still hard to increase!"

At this point, Xu Damao paused, then emphasized: "But if this thing is not a single piece of jade, but a complete set of jade, then the situation is completely different!"

"In that case, the value of this set of jade will definitely increase exponentially!"

The reason why Xu Damao was so confident was that he actually had his own plans in mind.

You know, in this era, the ancient tombs of the Han Dynasty have basically not been discovered by the world. On the one hand, the country's archaeological team has not yet formed a large enough scale, and has no time to take care of many historical relics buried deep underground.

On the other hand, long ago, most of the tombs of the Han Dynasty monarchs had been looted by tomb robbers.

Let's not talk about anything else for now, just take Lord Cao for example. In order to raise sufficient military rations and wages, he specially organized a team called "Mojin Xiaowei" to raid almost all the Han Dynasty tombs they knew at that time.

You know, the tombs of Han kings have gone through the vicissitudes of life. Not only have they suffered the erosion of time, but they have also faced frequent visits from all kinds of tomb robbers in later generations.

However, what is surprising is that the legendary golden jade burial suit has never appeared on the market.

Because of this, if you want to find a complete and valuable Han Dynasty gold and jade burial suit in this era, it is almost harder than climbing to the sky.

Therefore, it is understandable that my so-called "friend" has no knowledge of this thing.

Having said that, there are extremely obvious class differences in the burial culture of the Han Dynasty.

According to the "Book of the Later Han", only after the emperor's death could he be buried in a jade burial burial garment with gold threads; while the princes, the first generation of nobles and princesses, etc., when they passed away, they were buried in a jade burial garment with silver threads; as for the nobles and princesses of slightly lower status, they could only be buried in a jade burial garment with copper threads.

I think Yan Bugui and his gang, who make a living by moving mountains and robbing tombs, must have broken into a king's tomb...

"So that's what's going on! But the problem is, I only have a few pieces of jade."

Even if you piece them together, they don’t seem to have anything special to them…”

Yan Bugui murmured to himself with a sad face, his heart full of entanglement and confusion.

"Teacher Yan, my friend is an expert. He has studied it carefully and said that your jade piece cannot exist alone. There must be other parts to match it."

"And these jade pieces should be connected by gold threads! If we can find a complete set, even if the quality of the jade itself is not top-notch, my friend will be willing to pay twice the price of the gold on the jade pieces to buy it!"

Xu Damao said this with a smile on his face, his small eyes fixed on Yan Bugui, as if he had seen the other party fall into the trap he had carefully laid.

After all, according to what Xu Damao learned in his previous life, the amount of gold used in a set of golden jade clothes was about 1,100 grams.

Double the weight is just over two kilograms, which cannot be compared with the value of a complete set of gold and jade burial suit. If you can get such a national treasure, hehe, it will be good for you to keep it for your collection, open a private museum in the future, or even donate it to the Palace Museum.

But I have to wait until I have achieved success before I can make donations, otherwise there will be no benefit...

Hearing this, Yan Bugui couldn't help but widen his eyes and asked suspiciously, "Really...really, Damao? Is your friend really willing to pay such a high price to buy this set of things?"

You know, gold is always a hard currency, and its price is always very stable!"

Yan Bugui was puzzled in his heart, finding it hard to believe that such a good thing could happen to him.

Money is nothing more than colorful pieces of paper. Its value may fluctuate as time goes by and the economic situation changes.

But gold is different. From ancient times to the present, it has always shone with a unique light.

Gold is not something that can be created casually. It is not a natural product generated within our solar system.

Even a celestial body as powerful as the sun, with its enormous gravitational compression, cannot produce heavy metal elements like gold.

In fact, the birth of gold is often accompanied by extremely violent and rare astronomical phenomena.

Only when the stars in those distant galaxies reach the end of their lives and cause a earth-shaking supernova explosion; or when two extremely dense neutron stars collide and merge with each other, can extremely precious gold be produced.

Then it drifted in the universe for who knows how many billions of years before it landed on the earth and was squeezed...

So, it is not easy to obtain this gold, and its value is naturally self-evident!

……

"Teacher Yan, you don't know that my friend is from a wealthy family! They have everything they need, and money is not a problem for them. They are just curious because they have never seen this antique before!"

Xu Damao said anxiously.

Yan Bugui's eyes lit up slightly after hearing this, but he still responded cautiously: "This matter is not simple, and the money involved is not a small amount. You'd better discuss it with your friend. After all, this is not a joke."

"Hey, Mr. Yan, let me tell you, if the gold thread on this set of things could weigh one kilogram of gold, my friend would be willing to pay two kilograms of gold to buy it! Where can you find such a good thing?"

Xu Damao continued to strike while the iron was hot.

"Teacher Yan, this opportunity is rare! It would be such a pity if we missed it! Besides, my friend's curiosity comes and goes quickly. If his curiosity decreases or even disappears, he might regret it and not be willing to pay such a high price! So we have to hurry up!"
