C2796 The Magic of Gold (1/2)

Zai Chun finally opened his mouth. He had begun to pry into a world that he completely did not understand, and there was no one who could teach him all the knowledge in this world. Even Xiao Letian had not spoken the least bit about this world.

It was the secret letter from Big Beard that opened the door to a new world he had never thought of before.

Zai Chun knew that it was useless to ask about the secrets inside, if Xiao Letian was not willing to teach him, then the other emperors, generals and scholars would not reveal anything to him.

They could only find an opening on Gordon because Gordon had already formed a community of benefits with him. The more power Zai Chun had, the more benefits Gordon would receive.

Gordon really didn't want to start a conversation on this topic, but after thinking about it for a while, he still wanted to live with the Emperor.

Gordon took a sip of green tea, his face pale white, ”Your majesty, can you suppress us?”

”Sure! ”All of you, leave …” Zai Chun ordered the eunuchs and guards beside him to withdraw, but they hesitated when they saw Da Sixi.

”Step down!” Could the Gordon Regional Commander harm me? This is my savior! ”Step back …” Under Zai Chun's scolding, everyone left the study room.

Only then did Gordon speak out, ”Your Majesty, the questions you ask are too big, and they do involve some secrets … First of all, I have to state that I only know a little about these secrets! ”

”This is a bottomless abyss. I don't even know what kind of monster is hiding in the deepest parts of this abyss. Actually, I only heard it from rumors!”

”It's alright, I want to hear about these rumors today!”

”Good …” ”Since Your Majesty wants to hear it, I'll tell you about it. Since you're talking about gold, I'll tell Your Majesty about the history of gold …”

Following Gordon's words, a door of history that had been sealed for thousands of years opened up in front of Zai Chun.

The history of gold is almost as ancient as the history of humans. When humans began to learn smelting techniques, during the process of burning various ores, the rare and beautiful metal called gold began to control the souls of humans.

The gold was beautiful and stable, it would not oxidize even in the air. After experiencing thousands of years of such beauty, this attribute was something that no other metal possessed!

It could be said that gold had been linked to wealth from the very beginning, and no one could resist the magic of gold!

This rare metal that had multiple souls was the treasure of the priests and rulers. They decorated the temples and tombs with gold. They hoped to be able to enjoy eternal wealth in the human world and the underground world!

Only gold could bear such psychological prayers. After the archaeologists of the 21st century opened the tombs for three thousand years, the gold products were still shining with the light of the burial.

Wang Hou's appearance had been turned to dust, the solid rock had been eroded into motes, the bronze and iron artifacts were stained with rust, and only gold still proved the power of eternal life!

Who wouldn't love such a metal!

Human society gradually developed, human society began to enter the era of commodity economy, people were no longer limited to their own production, exchange became the mainstream of human society's behavior!

At this point, a fixed currency became what everyone needed, so what could be more suitable than an eternal and unchanging gold?
