Inherit For Three Thousand Years

After Iwasaki Shinichi and Xiao Yao got acquainted, he was very active. He contacted Xiao Yao not for immediate benefits, but for the long-term development of the family and Xiao Yao's magical medical skills.

Everyone will get sick one day, especially an old man like him. One day he will suffer from a terminal illness that modern medicine cannot cure. And making friends with Xiao Yao means that you don't have to worry about the future. Even if it is for your own health, it is necessary to maintain a good relationship with Xiao Yao.

In order to make friends with Xiao Yao, he is ready to bleed heavily, and he must let Xiao Yao see his sincerity. But before he started to implement it, Xiao Yao threw him a big pie first.

He and Yasuda Yoshiaki are already old rivals and old friends, and they have a very clear understanding of his character and way of doing things. After Yasuda Yoshiaki's terminal illness was cured by Xiao Yao, he wanted to detain him in turn, and wanted to get the secret recipe of Rejuvenation Pill from him. , he was not surprised at all.

Yasuda Yoshiaki has always been a very ambitious and risk-taking person.

Iwasaki Shinichi is also a very ambitious person, but he is more cautious in doing things. Once the risk is too high, he will often choose to give up or continue to wait and see.

He was also jealous of the Rejuvenation Pill formula in Xiao Yao's hands, and if given the chance, he would also want to get it. If the risk is not too great, even if he takes a little risk, considering the amazing benefits, he might try it.

But his understanding of Xiao Yao is more comprehensive than that of Yasuda Yoshiaki. As early as Pan Wu's lifetime, he already knew Xiao Yao's nominal master. They all ended up miserable.

Just before Xiao Yao came to Ridao, he had just met Morgan and Rockefeller, and learned more information about Xiao Yao from them.

Maybe Morgan and Rockefeller still have something to hide, but he only needs to know that the attitude of these two people towards Xiao Yao is extremely respectful, even in awe, that's enough.

Morgan and Rockefeller are no worse than him in terms of financial resources and power. Xiao Yao can make these two feel in awe. Although there is a reason, it must be the same if it were him.

The information he learned made him feel awe in his heart before meeting Xiao Yao.

He was very glad that he knew enough about Xiao Yao, and that he had visited him as soon as he arrived in Ridao.

If he hadn't taken the initiative to visit at the first time, it might not be his turn to take over the Yasuda family business. Xiao Yao has many choices, and he is just one of them.

Both the Yasuda family and the DuPont family ended up like this because they offended Xiao Yao, but there is still a big difference between the two.

Xiao Yao used force to suppress the DuPont family. This was a tough battle that required more allies to participate and assist, so he chose the Morgan consortium and the Rockefeller consortium to assist at the same time.

But Xiao Yao's taking over the property of the Yasuda family is not a war at all, even if there is a war, it is over. When Shinichi Iwasaki appeared, the only thing the Yasuda family could do was to surrender with both hands and offer all the property of the family.

In the process of taking over the Yasuda family property, although Shinichi Iwasaki could help a little, it was far less important than Morgan and Rockefeller.

Iwasaki Shinichi obviously did not do much, but he was able to get great benefits. Of course he was very happy, but at the same time he would not forget what his original purpose was.

His original purpose was to find ways to make friends with Xiao Yao, not to gain any benefits from him.

After taking over most of the Yasuda family's property, even if he didn't have this idea, it has become an established fact. Of course, he can't push this kind of good deed to the door, but he has to express it to Xiao Yao.

The Yasuda family's property is too huge, even with the active cooperation of Yasuda Yoshiaki, it would take a lot of energy and a long time to receive all of them. Iwasaki Shinichi's main work is now on this work, how to give back to Xiao Yao after obtaining such a big benefit, can only be handled after the matter is basically over.

Work is important, but receiving Xiao Yao well is more important.

It took a week to take over the property of the Yasuda family in an orderly manner. After Iwasaki Shinichi sought Xiao Yao's opinion, he already had a clear arrangement.

At this time, he was finally able to take the time to think about how to receive Xiao Yao well.

During this week, Xiao Yao, like him, focused his time and energy on taking over the work of the Yasuda family business. The work that required his personal participation was basically over, and so was Xiao Yao.

After working intensely for a week, it is rare to have a little free time. Iwasaki Shinichi must accompany Xiao Yao to relax.

He knew that Xiao Yao liked music. Considering that Xiao Yao was still a world-renowned top painter, Iwasaki Shinichi specially arranged two top concerts and accompanied Xiao Yao to two high-level art exhibitions.

Xiao Yao really liked the activities he arranged. After listening to two very high-level concerts and seeing two high-level art exhibitions, Xiao Yao really felt that his mood was relaxed.

After all, Iwasaki Shinichi was already old, and it was a bit embarrassing for a person of his age to personally entertain a young distinguished guest. But if he wanted to get closer to Xiao Yao, he had to accompany him in person, and he couldn't pretend to be someone else. To make Xiao Yao happy and to participate in the activities, he took great pains. In addition to the above arrangements, he also played a round of golf with Xiao Yao.

But he clearly felt that Xiao Yao's nature didn't seem too high.

According to Iwasaki Shinichi's analysis, it may be that Xiao Yao's level is too high. Xiao Yao is at the top professional level, but he is at an amateur level.

Maybe Xiao Yao would like other sports, but he can't accompany him in person at all, so he can only consider other arrangements.

Thinking that Xiao Yao is very interested in antique works of art, he said: "Mr. Xiao, I have always wanted to invite you to visit our family's treasure house, but you may need to wait a few more days. Our family's collections are scattered. , It takes a little time to gather them together. And I know you like those special things, so during this period of time I also asked someone to collect them, and I hope you can gain something by then."

"I will definitely stay in Ridao for a while longer, but there is no rush, you can arrange it slowly."

"There is a high-end auction this afternoon, and the main items are antique works of art. I wonder if you are interested?" Nobuichi Iwasaki asked tentatively.

As long as he has time, Xiao Yao will not miss any antique auction, and said happily: "It happens that I have nothing to do in the afternoon, so let's go and have a look together."

In the afternoon, Xiao Yao and Iwasaki Shinichi arrived at the auction site together.

Accompanied by Iwasaki Shinichi, Xiao Yao and Iwasaki Shinichi took their seats at the only VIP seat.

After the two sat down, there was a lot of discussion at the scene.

"I said why a VIP seat was suddenly added. It turned out to be for Mr. Iwasaki."

"Who is this young man? Is he lucky enough to be accompanied by Mr. Iwasaki himself?"

"This young man looks quite strange, does anyone know him?"

"Mr. Iwasaki seems to be very close to that young man. There should be no young man in China who deserves such treatment. He should be the son of a big family abroad, right?"

...

In Hijima, Iwasaki Shinichi's identity was too prominent. When everyone saw that he was so close to a young man, they naturally couldn't help but speculate.

There was a brochure on the VIP seat, and Iwasaki Shinichi took it casually, handed it to Xiao Yao and said, "I didn't prepare it in advance, but fortunately they still have a brochure here, Mr. Xiao, take a look and see if you are interested." ?”

Xiao Yao took the brochure and began to look through the relevant introductions one by one.

It is true that many of the auction items in the brochure are national treasure-level precious antiques and top-level artworks, but these are not what Xiao Yao pays the most attention to. Instead, it is those less eye-catching items that interest him more.

If you just look at the brochure, you can't tell anything, Xiao Yao just flipped through it to get a general idea of ​​what kind of auction will be held today.

After the auction started, Xiao Yao was not very interested in the dozen or so items that were auctioned one after another, and he didn't raise his placard once.

Iwasaki Shinichi has been paying attention to Xiao Yao all the time, seeing that his expression is always indifferent, as if he doesn't seem to be very interested, he is somewhat disappointed.

At this time, a new lot was pushed out, and Iwasaki Shinichi saw Xiao Yao's expression seemed to be solemn, and suddenly became energetic.

Although it seems that Xiao Yao is very interested in participating in today's auction, if there is no item that Xiao Yao likes in today's auction, it will not be considered a success for Iwasaki Shinichi.

After wasting Xiao Yao's time all afternoon, he must give him a gift he likes anyway. Now Xiao Yao seems to be very interested. This is the first time that Xiao Yao's expression has changed since the auction started. Iwasaki Shinichi has decided that no matter what the next auction item is, it will be photographed. Give it to Xiao Yao.

Pointing to a golden Buddha that was pushed up, the auctioneer introduced: "The item to be auctioned below is very remarkable and quite legendary. I believe everyone will be very interested. This item is the Kawasaki Treasure Hunting Company that has been raging a while ago in Chicheng. One of the treasures found by Shan Shan, and it is the most precious one.

This exquisite solid gold Buddha statue of Shakyamuni has been identified as being from the Hua Kingdom and is a masterpiece from the Tang Dynasty. Some people say that this pure gold Buddha statue of Sakyamuni is one of the treasures left by Master Jianzhen, but there is no sufficient evidence to prove this. If there is evidence to prove it in the future, it will be terrible. I think this is very possible. I hope everyone will seize this opportunity and not miss it. "

"Could it be that this Buddha statue of Sakyamuni from the Tang Dynasty was found by a treasure hunting company?" Xiao Yao was quite surprised.

"It was indeed found by the treasure hunting company, but it is not a Buddha statue from the Tang Dynasty, so it is hard to say. This point has not been unanimously recognized by the appraisers, and there are still doubts."

After Xiao Yao promised to participate in this afternoon's auction in the morning, Iwasaki Shinichi did the relevant work in advance, especially for a detailed understanding of several heavyweight items that appeared in the auction.

"Could it be that the hidden gold in Mount Chicheng has been found?" Xiao Yao knew something about the hidden gold in Mount Chicheng, but not much.

"This treasure hunting company did not find gold hidden in Chicheng Mountain. It is said that what they found was Fujiwara treasure. This treasure hunting company accidentally got a treasure map of Fujiwara treasure. These treasures are hidden in Chicheng Mountain. It was found by them a few days ago. They said it was Fujiwara’s hidden treasure, but in fact they found not many things, there were only two boxes in total, and they were not too expensive except for this pure gold Buddha statue.” Iwasaki Shinichi said not Believe in the so-called Fujiwara hidden treasure.

Xiao Yao had never heard of Fujiwara treasures, but he had heard about Chicheng Mountain treasures for a long time.

In Gunma County in the northern part of the Kanto region of Japan, there is a dormant volcano comparable to Mount Fuji - Mount Akagi, which is one of the hundred scenic spots of Japan.

But the most famous thing about Chicheng Mountain is not its beautiful mountain appearance, but its dazzling and inspiring gold treasure.

In 1905, an old couple accidentally picked up three wooden boxes containing gold on Mount Chicheng. The three boxes full of gold immediately sparked a treasure hunting craze in Japan in the early 20th century.

Later, another road construction worker picked up 57 Japanese pure gold ancient coins here. Later, a professional treasure hunting family appeared to participate in it, and they gained a lot. Although it is said that the Tokugawa shogunate once again hid 4 million taels of gold, the large-scale gold storage cellar has never been found. Some people began to doubt the authenticity of the 4 million taels of gold treasure. However, many people still have not lost their confidence. After analysis, it is entirely possible to hide gold. Because during the period of the Tokugawa shogunate, small government offices such as the North and South Towns of Edo had 10,000 taels of gold in them, not to mention the shogunate itself. According to textual research, the Akagi Mountain deposit of gold probably began when the Tokugawa shogunate controlled the Japanese regime. At that time, in order to prevent the loss of hard currency caused by the large outflow of gold in the country, which was not conducive to the authorities' reserve property to strengthen the military, the highest governor of the shogunate, Ii Naosuke, personally controlled the entire gold storage plan of Mount Akagi in the name of military reserves. 4 million taels of gold reserves, equivalent to about 100 trillion yen, while Japan's fiscal budget in 1987 was only 54 trillion. So, why did the Tokugawa shogunate choose Mount Akagi as a place to hide gold?

There are four reasons:

First, Mount Akagi is one of the territories directly under the jurisdiction of the Tokugawa Shogunate. The defense of the garrison is justified and it is not easy for the outside world to detect it.

Second, the usual garrison at Mount Akagi is all "directly subordinate" troops of the Tokugawa shogunate, so it is easy to keep secrets.

Third, Mount Akagi is located between the two rivers of Negawa and Katashinagawa, surrounded by rolling mountains, it is a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Fourth, if the Tokugawa shogunate army is defeated, Akagi Mountain is the last line of defense for the collapse of the whole line.

Based on these four reasons, the Tokugawa shogunate chose Mount Akagi to implement the gold storage plan. Yu Zongbingwei, who carried out the gold storage plan, later wrote a book - "A Brief Introduction to the Reasons for the Ueno Kingdom's Burial", which records that this batch of little-known gold buried as military expenses was transported in two batches. Those who reached Chicheng Mountain: 3.6 million taels of gold were shipped from Edo, and 240,000 taels of gold were shipped from Yujincang. Including other gold products, the total storage capacity reached 4 million taels, and there were only a few more. few.
