Chapter 190

"So the Roman officials later found various reasons to forbid nobles from wearing clothes made of silk, saying that silk ceremonial robes were too thin, too transparent, and wearing them was like wearing nothing! It was indecent and affected social morals."

"How transparent was the silk at that time? Let me give you an analogy. A plain gauze garment weighed less than 50 grams. What does this concept mean! You could fold it up and put it in a matchbox. Ten pieces added together would only be equivalent to the weight of our thin summer shirts."

【Popularity】 +1+1+1+1....

——【Awesome, a silkworm almost brought down such a large Roman Empire. You have to know that the Roman Empire of that era was also very powerful, the only country that could compete with the Qin State. Thinking about it makes me laugh, and I also feel the power of our ancestors. Twelve taels of gold per catty, I wouldn't even dare to think about it.】

——【Such thin clothes must be very comfortable to wear. Let alone them, I want to buy one to wear, but the problem is I just searched online and couldn't find anything this thin. Could it be that I'm too poor? Big data doesn't recommend me to buy it?】

——【The reason why cultural relics are called cultural relics is not because of their own value, but because of the stories they carry. Fang Yang is right; such things definitely count as national treasures. It records a piece of history. To be honest, I'm a little proud because this thing almost destroyed their country, haha!】

——【I suddenly remembered the Wang Mang treasure dug up before. No wonder he had so much gold. At that time, I don't know how much gold was sold just by selling silk. I feel like those who raised silkworms were nouveau riche. At this price, whoever raised them got rich. I just don't know if there were many middlemen at that time and if the price difference was large.】

After listening to Fang Yang's interpretation, everyone was stunned again.

50 grams, they didn't have much concept of it.

But putting it into a matchbox.

This is too exaggerated.

A piece of fabric the size of underwear, let alone a matchbox, even a box the size of a fist would be difficult to stuff it into.

Ancient plain gauze garments were all long skirt-style clothes from top to bottom, and they could be folded into a matchbox.

It's terrifying to think about; how transparent and fine it must be.

Even if there were such clothes in modern times, I reckon they could only be worn as underwear. It would be too embarrassing to wear them out.

Fang Yang continued: "Such transparent silk is difficult to reproduce even with modern technology because it was made from the silk of three-sleep silkworms of the Han Dynasty!"

"The cultural relic in my hand is the three-sleep silkworm of the Western Han Dynasty. Its body is particularly slender, with 9 abdominal segments, not at all like the chubby silkworms we have now."

"It sleeps three times in its life, sheds its skin three times, and the silk it spits is finer. Modern silkworms are four-sleep silkworms, which have gained weight and become fat, and the silk they spit has also become thicker. So for the same clothes, using three-sleep silkworm silk makes them very light and thin!"

"Huaxia is the country that mastered sericulture and silk reeling technology the earliest in the world. The Records of the Grand Historian says, 'Leizu started sericulture,' and Leizu, the wife of the Yellow Emperor, invented sericulture. Many people used to think Sima Qian was bragging, but now through archaeology, silk fabrics from the Yangshao era more than 5,000 years ago have been discovered!"

"This shows that before the appearance of writing, Huaxia people had already started raising silkworms and making silk, so since ancient times, Huaxia people have had a natural affinity for silkworms."

"So what is such a small golden silkworm used for! It has great historical and cultural relic value; it witnessed Huaxia's Silk Road."

Everyone was still a bit unsatisfied after hearing Fang Yang's explanation.

Especially the onlookers; listening on site and listening in the live broadcast room felt completely different.

Chen Feng looked at Fang Yang and grinned: "Oh my.. I am especially glad now that Director Xu coaxed me over to accompany the digging the whole time. Don't say, I've really learned a lot recently. After listening to your story, I look at this little silkworm, and I don't know why, but I suddenly feel it has become different!"

Fang Yang smiled helplessly: "That's because you saw its value!"

At this time, Director Chen was about to collapse.

Although it was very safe inside the cordon, there were more and more people on the periphery.

Looking at it initially, there were at least over 2,000 people.

They were in the countryside, but this place was not far from the road, and it looked like the people behind were about to block the road.

If this continues, it will cause traffic jams sooner or later.

This is still a small matter. With so many people on the road, if there is a car accident or something, then things will get big.

Plus the venue was small to begin with, and the people behind couldn't see at all. Many people climbed trees, some stood on high platforms, and some even climbed onto people's roofs.

It would be fine if there were no accidents.

But what if!

If something happens, ambulances can't get in here, and police resources in other places are also very tight.

Thinking of these, he felt his head getting bigger.

He hurriedly took out his phone and called Captain Wang.

"Hello, Chief, what's wrong!"

"How is it on your side now? Is the manpower enough?"

"Chief, don't joke, how could it be enough."

"It's not working, hurry up and come to my side. The news that Fang Yang is digging things here doesn't know who leaked it, and more and more people are rushing here. I reckon by the time you arrive, there will be at least over 3,000 people! This place is small, I'm really afraid of accidents!"

Captain Wang was stunned after hearing it.

3,000 people!

It scared him!

And he knew that with Fang Yang's popularity, it wouldn't be strange even if there were 30,000.

If they don't rush to the scene to support as soon as possible, the consequences would be unimaginable if the police force there is insufficient.

Thinking of this, he immediately called several police officers and ordered: "Xiao Li, from now on, you are responsible for this side. Everyone work hard, run a bit more. Something happened on Director Chen's side, I have to rush over to help as soon as possible. Xiao Wang, call ten people to go with me!"

"Yes, Captain Wang!"

On the scene, after Fang Yang handed the cultural relic to Chen Feng, Director Chen hurriedly walked over.

"Little ancestor, hurry back to the cab after you're done. There are too many people, I'm afraid something will happen later, I really can't protect you!"

"Ah?" Fang Yang was too absorbed in his explanation just now. At this time, he turned his head to look around. Good guy, it was like coming to a monkey zoo.

Except for the circle in front, the back was full of experts of all kinds, in all kinds of strange postures, looking at him from high positions.

This made him suddenly have an illusion: is this a dream?

In his previous life, he was an ordinary young man, but in this life, he actually became a big star?

But this feeling was fleeting, because his mentality had already changed. Living two lives was like an enlightenment after experiencing a lifetime.

He shook his head and sat back in the cab.

Seeing Fang Yang working again, everyone cast expectant eyes.

It was already past two in the afternoon, and the sun was still very hot, but the enthusiasm of the netizens was even hotter.

Zhou Guang stood on the side watching everything that happened here, and had a feeling of unreality.

He originally thought he had invited a plague god.

But now he had inexplicably become one of the focuses.

He wanted to shout, shout out loud, that it was he who invited Fang Yang to dig the fish pond.

Only in this way could he completely release the vanity in his heart.

It is conceivable that after today, this year will be his capital for bragging!

Tell everyone he sees, I invited Fang Yang to dig a fish pond, and there were thousands of people watching my house dig a fish pond. Is it cool? Is there face!

As the soil was constantly turned over, the yellow land in front had already dug a large pit of more than thirty square meters.

You have to know that the fish pond was only a little over one hundred square meters in total, a very small fish pond, and he originally planned to finish it in one day.

The things everyone expected did not happen.

Until another half an hour passed, the cameraman said suspiciously: "Brother, I think you dug up another small stone, it looks a bit different, but I'm not sure!"

Fang Yang was stunned when he heard this! He had already learned his lesson about the cameraman's crow mouth.

If he says there is something, then nine times out of ten it is true.

He hurriedly stopped the bucket and stuck his head out to look.

Sure enough, he couldn't see anything, so he had to jump off the excavator and walk up himself.

The audience around saw Fang Yang walk down, and everyone was extremely excited, staring intently, afraid of missing any link.

When Fang Yang came to the pit, he found that there was indeed nothing inside.

But the next second, the system interface suddenly popped up!.

108. Qin Destroyed Six States Tiger Tally, Du Tiger Tally! (Please subscribe!)

【Du Tiger Tally】

【Military Tally of the Qin State in the late Warring States period】

【Length 9.5 cm, height 4.4 cm, thickness 0.7 cm】

【Bronze material, tiger shape, head held high, waist collapsed, tail drooping, in a walking posture. There is a perforation on the neck and a groove on the back. The whole tally is composed of left and right halves.】

【There are forty characters of gold-inlaid inscriptions in nine lines on the tally surface. The general meaning is: the right half of the tally is held by the monarch, and the left half is held by the military commander of the Du area. Whenever more than 50 armored soldiers are to be mobilized, the left tally of the Du area must be combined with the king's right tally to act; but in case of an emergency such as a beacon alarm, the king's right tally is not needed...】

Fang Yang looked at the mud in front of him in a daze, which made Chen Feng confused.

He walked to the front and observed the soil carefully, but saw nothing: "Fang Yang, what are you looking at!"

Fang Yang stretched out one hand and took out a small thing from the soil. After wiping off the mud on it, a large piece of bronze rust was revealed.

Chen Feng exclaimed hurriedly: "Bronze ware!"

This exclamation was heard by almost everyone present.
