Chapter 286: The Sword of the King!
In fact, it is not surprising that the weapons unearthed in the hometown of Chu State: the Yue State destroyed Wu, and later the Chu State destroyed the Yue State, and the top bronze weapons of Wu and Yue in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were unearthed in the land of Wu and Yue, but there were many found in the hometown of Chu State.

For this phenomenon, there is a saying that at that time, the Yue State would sometimes give away or trade the bronze swords made by the country to the Chu State, who called the sword casting skills of the Yue Kingdom was the first in the world at that time, especially the princes and nobles of the southern countries, that was often proud of having a high-quality Yue State sword!
In addition, for a period of time, the relationship between Chu and Yue was not bad, and the transaction gifts were normal, and even the royal families of the two countries would intermarry, and there were bronze swords that were used as dowries.
When the Yue Kingdom fell, these Wuyue bronze weapons were captured by the Chu State, and were also used or collected by the Chu people: the Yue King Goujian Sword was unearthed in the winter of 1965 in the Wangshan Chu Tomb Group in Jiangling, Jingzhou, Hubei Province.
There is also Wu Wangfuchacha, which was unearthed in November 1983 in the tomb of a Chu nobleman in Mashan, Jiangling, Hubei Province.
Once the country is destroyed, everything is someone else's!
Moreover, bronze weapons were very precious at that time, as long as they were not damaged and could be used, even the captured weapons could be passed down to several generations and used for hundreds of years!
Turning around, it is not surprising that the soldiers of several countries used it before and after a few hands - the bronze sword of the Yue Kingdom was unearthed in Liao Province, and according to the research, it is possible that after the Qin army destroyed Chu, the bronze sword of the Yue Kingdom seized from the Chu State was used to participate in the battle to destroy Yan, and finally stayed in the hometown of Yan State.
Zhang Nan carefully unsheathed the sword, and his eyes narrowed: This sword is cold!
The blade is in excellent condition, the whole sword is intact, the body is golden luster, there is no rust on the top, and it is sharpened and smooth, and the sword is sharp!
At this time, even Xiang Weirong and the three of them were a little moved, Zhang Nan said: "During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, wars were frequent, and all vassal states needed to cast a large number of weapons of various forms for combat.
Because of the developed water system in our Wuyue land, it cannot take the form of chariot warfare, and the weapons used are mainly short-handled swords. ”
As he spoke, he asked Cao Qiang: "This sword is only more than 50 centimeters long, right?"
"I measured, and the handle was 52.4 cm. ”
More than 50 centimeters was actually not very short at the beginning, and the long sword of the Qin army with a length of nearly one meter did not appear until 200 years later.
"In the late Spring and Autumn Period, the casting level of Wu Yue's bronze sword is the best in China, and at present, we do not seem to have such a beautiful collection of bronze king's sword in Jiangnan Province. the boss, we are also acquaintances, and we will deal with each other in the future. I will not hide this from you, lest you will curse behind your back.
How much did you spend on this sword?"
Wang Jian!
But the boss didn't understand what Zhang Nan meant by "Wang Jian".
Cao Qiang only knew that this sword was a good thing, even a layman could see it: someone had bid 5,000 yuan to buy this sword from that friend, but that friend refused!
Seeing that Zhang Nan really wanted to hear the truth, and Cao Qiang felt that he didn't need to keep it secret, he said, "Ten thousand." ”
"Haha, bold!
In this way, I won't give you any money, I like this sword, take it. In the future, Wang Debiao's business, as long as it does not exceed the local market price of the construction site, this yellow sand will be provided by you. ”
Plus freight, as long as you the boss and can afford to do it, this business is all yours!
Cao Qiang doesn't care if this sword is a treasure now, what he wants is Zhang Nan's words: Although he has a good relationship with Wang Debiao, he is not the only one who does Huangsha business in Yan County: from time to time, other Huangsha bosses go to Wang Debiao, and Cao Qiang knows these things.
Now for the sake of the old relationship, this business can still be done by itself, but who will be clear in the future!
And Cao Qiang knows that this Wang Debiao is, to put it bluntly, a small shareholder and a senior worker, and the real boss is Zhang Nan - if there are Zhang Nan's relatives or something who want to do this business one day, that one really has nothing to do with himself if he is not careful.
These 10,000 yuan are all trivial, even if they are supplied at a reasonable price, now they can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars from Wang Debiao's construction group this year, which is already a big profit!
You will earn more in the future.
Even if you can make 1 million yuan a year on the surface, sometimes you have to give 700,000 yuan to others, and the rest is your own.
"Xiao Zhang, I know this brother. We can't help anything else, if there are any good antiques in the future, I will collect them for you. ”
Zhang Nan smiled, everyone just understood in their hearts.
This will stop talking about money, talking about money hurts feelings.
As for Wang Debiao, he didn't need to tell him, this Cao Qiang would naturally tell Wang Debiao about giving the antiques to Zhang Nan, and Wang Debiao would know in his heart.
As for whether Wang Debiao will get kickbacks, Zhang Nan will not ask, there is no fish if the water is clear, as long as the construction company can make money for itself, there are few clean people in this industry.
Wang Debiao knows which money can be taken and what can't be taken in his heart, unless he has a problem with his brain one day.
After Zhang Nan looked at the sword, he saw that his brother-in-law seemed to be interested, so he handed it over.
Xiang Weirong also put on white gloves, looked at them carefully for a while, and tried to scratch a knife of white paper on the coffee table with this sword.
"Thirteenth floor!"
"It's not surprising that when one of Lao Tzu's matching swords was unearthed, it could cut through 16 layers of white paper at once, which was the Yue Wang Goujian sword. ”
Xiang Weirong was still holding this sword in his hand, and when he heard it, he asked with a little surprise: "This is the sword of King Yue?"
Yes, just now he was a "Wang Jian" in vain.
Zhang Nan pointed to the patterns on the sword grid and said: "These patterns are actually a kind of script, called 'Double Hook Bird and Insect Book', the obverse is: 戉 (Yue) Wang Hu (Yue) Wang;
The language of the ancient Yue country is the ancient Yue language, which is very different from today's writing, and the owner of this sword is 'the will of the king of Yue'.
'Zhizhi' is read as 'Zhuji', which is the clan of the king of Yue, and 'Yu Ci' is the name.
Yue Wang Yu Ci is the Yue King Yunhe, who should have reigned from 464 BC to 459 BC, and he was the king of Yue for 6 years, and he was the son of Goujian, the king of Yue.
This is the sword of the king, although the princes at that time were far more than just a sword, and this sword did not have the pattern on the body of his Laozi's most famous 'Yue Wang Goujian Self-Action Sword', but it is really rare to have this quality!"
Now everyone understands, this is really an amazing bronze sword, and it has a history of more than 2,400 years!
The brother-in-law lamented the good luck of his brother-in-law: a local Huangsha boss could give him such a rare collection, and although Cao Qiang on the other side was surprised, he did not regret giving away an ancient king's sword at all.
This sword is estimated to be tens of thousands of dollars - that's what Cao Qiang thinks, compared to the profits he can earn in the future, this sword is a small meaning.
Zhang Nan could also guess Cao Qiang's thoughts, otherwise he wouldn't have said it.
And if you accept this sword as an ordinary bronze sword, and wait until a few years later to open a museum, this sword will definitely be on the stand - when the time comes, people will scold themselves behind their backs for being inauthentic?
Can't do it!
Aren't you afraid that after people know that this is the sword of the king, they will regret not giving it to themselves?
This is not an antique trade, these twists and turns are completely ignored - and the boss is also a character on the scene, if you don't have this kind of cultivation, you can't become the number one Huangsha boss.
Regret?
Don't you want to mix it up locally!
It's not that Zhang Nan will embarrass him, but as long as he regrets it, as soon as it gets out, the boss will really have no face to see people.
......
Here, Xiang Weirong carefully studied the words on the sword grid, but how to look like a pattern. Even if Zhang Nan has already said the content of the text, it is still unrecognizable!
Zhang Nan can't even recognize a few common bronze inscriptions in the north, so how can he recognize this super difficult "double-hooked bird and insect book"?
The reason is simple, I "once" saw it in the Jiangnan Provincial Museum!
In 1995, a bronze expert bought the sword back from Xiangjiang for 1.36 million Hong Kong dollars, and then purchased the sword through Hangcheng Iron and Steel Group Company and donated it to the Jiangnan Provincial Museum.
At present, a total of 7 pieces have been found with this sword, and this sword is in the best state of preservation!
As for the question of how it flows to Xiangjiang, it now seems that it should be the work of cultural relics smugglers.
