Seeing the two teachers' serious expressions, Fang Yi did not dare to disturb him. He made a gesture to the fat man and Sanpao who was about to have a meal, which made the two quiet. As for Man Jun and Zhao Hongtao naturally did not need Fang Yi's reminder. When Sun Lianda and Yu Xuan checked the Golden Buddha, the two of them even slowed down their breathing a little.

The process of Sun Lianda and Yu Xuan observing the Golden Buddha was very slow and meticulous. They used a magnifying glass almost from beginning to end. Finally, they asked Man Jun and Fang Yi to work together, put the Golden Buddha flat on the table, and observed it carefully for a while at the bottom.

After watching it for almost half an hour, Sanpao couldn't wait, so he simply brought the food to the kitchen to eat. The fat man was bored and sent text messages to his girlfriend on his mobile phone. Only Fang Yi and Zhao Hongtao were still thinking about the actions of the two teachers.

"Teacher, is there any result?"

After Sun Lianda and Yu Xuan put down the magnifying glass in their hands, Fang Yi hurriedly handed over two hot towels. In this cold winter month, Sun Lianda and Yu Xuan actually saw a sweat on their foreheads, which shows how they were doing.

"I guess it was that thing, but it's not very accurate. Let me tell you Teacher Sun..." Yu Xuan took the towel and wiped his face. Both of them looked a little tired, but those eyes were still staring at the golden Buddha on the table, as if they were looking at a peerless treasure.

"Old Yu, most of the things are that!" Sun Lianda covered his eyes with a hot towel, took off the towel, and said, "I didn't expect that the record was true, and this thing really exists!"

"Hey, I'll tell you two teachers, can we not play the puzzle?"

The fat man who stopped sending text messages could not hold back at first, "Two teachers, what is the origin of this Golden Buddha? Now gold costs 200 yuan per gram. Can we sell gold for millions, right?"

"Little fat man, look at your promising prospect..." Yu Xuan cut the fat man hard with his eyes and said, "This is a cultural relic. It represents history. It cannot be measured by money, and it cannot be measured at all..."

"What history, I know it is made of gold..." The fat man murmured in a low voice, but he didn't dare to let the two old people hear it.

"Teacher, tell us, it seems that this thing is of great origin?"

Seeing that the fat man was defeated, Zhao Hongtao asked carefully. He was well-informed and had just followed the two to check carefully, but he didn't see any clues about the origin of this golden Buddha.

"Of course it's the big guy..." Sun Lianda nodded and said to Zhao Hongtao: "How much do you know about the history of Myanmar?"

“The history of Myanmar?”

Zhao Hongtao frowned when he heard this and said, "Myanmar is also an ancient country, with similar history to China. However, the establishment of a dynasty was in 1044 AD. Their first dynasty was the Bagan Dynasty. Later, after being destroyed by the Mongols, they experienced almost four or five dynasties, but they have always been our vassal state..."

Zhao Hongtao followed Sun Lianda to study for a postgraduate degree and later took a PhD in history. He is very familiar with the history of some countries at home and abroad. Although Myanmar is just a small country, Zhao Hongtao still told him about its nearly thousand years of history.

"Well, you're right..." Sun Lianda nodded. He used to like to be sophisticated in students. He looked at Fang Yi again and said, "Tell me?"

"Teacher, I still know one thing about this domestic history. If you ask foreign countries, I will be blind..."

Fang Yi smiled bitterly when he heard this. He was born with wild ways. Even the history was heard from the old Taoist priests. He had never learned systematically. He didn't understand the domestic ones, so he didn't know what happened abroad.

"Yes, you probably don't know about this..."

Hearing Fang Yi's words, Sun Lianda burst into laughter. Just as he wanted to continue speaking, Zhao Hongtao suddenly screamed in surprise, "Teacher, you... wouldn't you say that this is the golden Buddha from the tribute dynasty back then?"

"Why not?" Sun Lianda looked at Zhao Hongtao with a smile, feeling very satisfied. It seems that although Zhao Hongtao has been in the career of the officialdom over the years, he has not abandoned all the previous knowledge.

"This...is this incredible?"

Zhao Hongtao almost put his eyes on the Golden Buddha, looked carefully and looked at it again, with an indescribable expression on his face, "From the weathering degree of these golds, it is really possible that they were from that era..."

"It's not possible, it's almost 10%!"

When Sun Lianda was doing appraisal, he has always been famous for his bold reasoning and careful verification. However, once Sun Lianda made a conclusion, the authenticity of the object was basically gone. So far, I have never heard of Sun Lianda's wrong appraisal results. This is also the reason why Sun Lianda has such a big name in the industry.

"Since the teacher said yes, it should be it..." Zhao Hongtao nodded, his tone this time was very certain.

Sun Lianda pointed to the Golden Buddha and said, "Hong Tao, tell them a few. Although this thing is not from our country, it has something to do with us. It is an object that has appeared in history..."

"Well? It has happened in history?" Hearing Sun Lianda's words, Fang Yi and Man Jun's eyes suddenly lit up. Unlike the fat man who looked confused and ignorant, Fang Yi and Man Jun knew the weight of this sentence.

China has been around for five thousand years. In this long period of history, almost all objects left intact can be called antiquities, and a large part of them can reach the level of cultural relics. The number is not very small, but very large.

But cultural relics do not mean they are very valuable or valuable. For example, copper coins issued in large quantities in some ancient dynasties can be regarded as cultural relics, but they are not very precious in terms of research value or market value. There are also some folk ceramics, even if they are at the level of cultural relics, they are not very valuable.

Valuable cultural relics are usually divided into two categories. One is to preserve them intact. Through research on them, you can understand the normal cultural relics in ancient social life. This type of cultural relics has a very high value in research and is the favorite of archaeologists and historians.

Another type of cultural relics is exquisitely made ancient artworks. They have high artistic value and high market value, which is what people usually call antiques.

There are many antiques passed down from ancient times, but the value of antiques is also different. Things collected by officials are more valuable than those collected by folks. The calligraphy and paintings of famous masters in ancient times are often more valuable than paintings of anonymous names, while the antiques played with by celebrities are more valuable than those of antiques without origin.

There is also a kind of cultural relics that have both historical research value and market value, that is, what has appeared in classic records, such as the fish intestine sword of King Liao of Wu, and the Goujian sword used by King Yue. Of course, the most famous one is the unknown Heshi Bi jade seal.

There are so many cultural relics in the world, but there are very few that can be left behind. Therefore, this type of cultural relics is extremely precious and rare. They are basically collected in major museums and are basically unseen by the people. So when you hear Sun Lianda's words, Fang Yi and Man Jun knew that this golden Buddha was probably of a big origin.

"This is something from the Burmese tribute dynasty period..." Zhao Hongtao's historical foundation was very solid. After thinking about it for a while, he told Fang Yi, Man Jun and others about the history of hundreds of years ago.

It turned out that the Gongbang Dynasty was the last dynasty in Myanmar. The founder of this dynasty was called Yong Jiya, and together with Anulutu and Mang Yinglong, they were called the "Three Great Emperors of Burma".

After the Meng tribe occupied Awa, the capital of the Dongyu Dynasty, he persuaded Yongjiya to surrender. Yongjiya refused to surrender and used the tribute list as a base to defeat the attack of the Meng tribe's army. From then on, the army's power was greatly enhanced, and leaders from all over the country surrendered, and Yongjiya was supported as king.

After the capture of Awa in 1753, from 1756 to 1757, he successively captured Beimue, Dagong (now Yangon) and Baigu, which were invincible and unified Myanmar. Myanmar during that period was very powerful for the surrounding areas. Of course, this did not include the Qing Dynasty at that time.

Myanmar is a country rich in gold. It has abundant resources for non-ferrous metals. After Yong Jiya's death, his descendants cast a golden Buddha with pure gold and accepted worship in the palace.

The power of the Gongbang Dynasty was based on surrender to China. In an occasional opportunity, a Qing general stationed on the border saw this golden Buddha, and then became greedy. When he was accepting a banquet for the Burmese King, he secretly sent soldiers to snatch the golden Buddha.

But what the general did not expect was that Myanmar, in a small area, did not retreat this time, but directly sent troops to invade the territory and snatched the golden Buddha back. The general was also killed in battle, and the war was developing increasingly. It was called the Sino-Myanmar War in history.

Finally, after the Qing government found out the cause of the war, the war ended with a contract signed by both sides. It claimed to be a war due to border territorial and resource control, but in fact, the inducement of the war was the golden Buddha in front of him.

Sun Lianda Yuxuan and others who knew this history were like witnessing the war with their own eyes when they looked at this golden Buddha. In their minds, the historical research value of this golden Buddha is far beyond the value of gold itself.

"Brother Zhao, then... how much is this thing worth?"

Just as Fang Yi and Man Jun were immersed in that history, the fat man's voice sounded again. For the fat man, his values ​​were tied to money. The things that history was invisible and intangible, and had nothing to do with him. ——
