Chapter Twenty-Eight: Curiosities
Zhang Nan said, and simply stopped what he was doing. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"In our south, the excavation of this large-scale copper coins called cellars is generally in two time periods: one is that when the Yuan Dynasty came in, the common people fled, and the money in the rich people's homes was too heavy to take away and buried first, and in the end, the people were gone, and the money was buried and no one dug it. This kind of cellar has unearthed the most, but generally because it is mainly Song money, the value is not high, and there are not a few improvised. ”
As he spoke, he took a piece of "Hongwu Tongbao" and said: "The second typical situation is like this, Zhu Yuanzhang buried it in Hongwu Nian.
In the sixteenth year of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty began to enforce the use of paper money, called "Ming Pass Treasure Bank", and Zhu Yuanzhang ordered a ban on the circulation of copper coins in China. It is also stipulated that within 7 days, the people must exchange copper coins into paper money, otherwise they will be imprisoned and killed if they are found!
The paper money will not be reliable, and the common people still like to use copper coins, so they can only bury the copper coins secretly. ”
After Zhang Nan finished speaking, he took out two copper coins from the several piles of money that had been classified, and said: "Although Song money accounts for fifty or sixty percent of this batch of copper coins, the earliest is this kind of Western Han Dynasty five-baht money and Han half taels, and the latest is Hongwu Tongbao, which is obviously Hongwu Cellar in terms of classification." ”
"Then why is the Hongwu cellar valuable, but the Song Dynasty cellar is not valuable?" the brother-in-law asked like a curious baby.
"There is a lot of money in the Northern Song Dynasty! There is a lot of money! In the Yuan Dynasty, paper money was abused, and it was called banknotes, but not many copper coins were issued, and the copper coins left in the Yuan Dynasty were basically valuable.
Moreover, there were not many copper coins in the Liaojin period in the north at that time, but Song coins were used in large quantities in Liaojin.
In the Song Dynasty, there were very few Liao gold copper coins in our south, but in the Yuan Dynasty, it became a country, and our south had some Liao gold copper coins. ”
Zhang Nan continued to popularize science.
"At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there were many peasant uprisings, and there were many separatist forces claiming to be kings, all of whom minted and issued their own currency, which was a rare situation in Chinese history where currencies appeared at the same time. These coins are particularly valuable due to their short mint time, limited number of issuances, and very rare circulation. ”
"This Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to collect copper money, but the people buried the money in the ground. However, unlike the time when the Mongols came in, because there were always a few unlucky people who hid money for the government to catch and kill their heads, and there were few cases that could not be dug up and stayed until now. ”
My brother-in-law said after hearing this.
Those who have participated in the war know the cruelty of war, and the dead are not comparable to "the court catches the bad guys".
"That's it, Song Qian has unearthed a lot now. And in the Ming Dynasty, even if the limelight of banning the circulation of copper coins passed, they were dug up every few years and decades to continue to be used, and there are still a few left.
Because the Ming and Qing dynasties were constantly recovering the copper coins of the previous dynasties, many of the common varieties of copper coins in circulation at that time in the Hongwu cellar are extremely rare treasures now!"
My sister was also listening while choosing a copper coin, and suddenly she handed a copper coin to her younger brother: "Anan, which dynasty is this? I haven't seen it, you don't have it here." ”
Zhang Nan took it casually and looked at it, but he chuckled in his heart and thought thoughtfully for a few seconds.
"Sister, this is the copper coin of the Jin Dynasty, and now there should only be two in the world, and this is one of them!"
The words "Zhenyou ingots" on the small coin are clearly visible!
"Then you can keep it. ”
Zhang Hui doesn't care about the problem that there are only a few pieces in the world, as long as his brother likes it.
As for Xiang Weirong and Guan Xingquan, one was still thinking about his wife's factory in his head, and the other was simply a happy sorter, so he didn't bother to think about it.
At half past seven in the evening, because tomorrow my sister and brother-in-law have to go to work and get out of the car, and the children have to go to bed early so that they can go to school, everyone disperses.
My sister took a pack of cherished coins that had been distributed and went home to help store the safe.
If there are still a few sacks that are too late to sort, lock the small warehouse first.
"Put the dirty clothes in the living room and wash them when I come down tomorrow sky. ”
"Okay, sister. ”
Zhang Nan is welcome.
"I'm out at 5 a.m., don't be late. ”
Before going out, Xiang Weirong reminded Zhang Nan and the two that the driver often leaves the car before dawn, which is also a hard job.
"Don't worry, it's not too late. ”
The brother-in-law's unit can still be prosperous for six or seven years, but Zhang Nan estimates that when his sister's factory is set up, the brother-in-law's iron job is estimated to be reimbursed in advance, and the brother-in-law himself will have to take the initiative to get a leave of absence without pay.
Will definitely send it!
When they see the rolling RMB, who wants to be a professional truck driver who has a lot of income but is actually extremely hard?
……
The next day, Zhang Nan and Guan Xingquan each carried a bag, and arrived at the garage of the team of the Materials Bureau at 5 o'clock.
Before dawn, I saw the parking lot gate wide open.
The garage of the material bureau convoy is just below the north gate of the new village, and the door is a parking lot, and there is a long row of two-story buildings in front of it.
The first floor is a garage and maintenance room with a large depth, and the second floor has two rooms inside and outside each row, most of which used to be staff dormitories, and my brother-in-law's family used to live here, with two rooms inside and outside each household.
In the first half of this year, the team's newly renovated suites in Beimen New Village were completed, and the old workers had already moved, so they vacated a few houses for young people to use as dormitories, and the rest as offices.
My brother-in-law has arrived and is making preparations on his 8-ton old liberation semi-trailer.
The driver of the same convoy on the side also arrived, and it was the old building above my brother-in-law's house, Lou Fukang.
"Xiao Zhang, what about a business trip?"
"No, Brother Lou, go out and do something. "I said hello to each other,
"Oh," the man didn't ask.
Zhang Nan went directly to the driver's seat, "I'll drive, brother-in-law, where are you going?"
"The Three Realms Battlefield. ”
Xiang Weirong was not polite and sat in the driver's building with Guan Xingquan.
Start, step on the clutch gear and release the handbrake to fill the accelerator, and the old liberation rumbles out of the parking lot.
In the Three Realms Battlefield Field, the convoy of the Material Bureau ran the northern line, and most of the business was to pull a cart of yellow sand there, and then drive for more than two hours to Cixi in the Yongcheng area, where construction was being carried out and a large amount of yellow sand was needed.
The quality of the yellow sand in Yan County is very good, which is second to none in Jiangnan Province, and the supply exceeds demand!
On the return trip at noon, I was halfway through the Cao'e Railway Freight Transfer Station to pull up the materials that needed to be transported back to Yanxian County, sometimes coal, sometimes steel, and miscellaneous everything.
It's just such a cycle, and it will never be empty in one way.
In half an hour, Zhang Nan drove to the Three Realms Battlefield.
He has been here many times when he took the car of the convoy, and when he took his brother-in-law's car, it was basically the section from Zhang Nan's county seat to the sandfield of Sanjie Town.
It's not dawn yet, and there are already a lot of people in the riverside sand field, all of whom are sand stevedores.
The sand and gravel dug up by the sand dredging ship is sorted by the conveyor belt and divided into piles of pebbles of different sizes and high-quality coarse sand, which are piled up like hills.
As soon as the battlefield administrator commanded, Zhang Nan skillfully reversed the truck to a long belt-type small conveyor.
Two stevedores carrying big shovels climbed up in the truck body, the conveyor belt started, and several stevedores used big shovels to shovel the yellow sand on the conveyor belt, and the upper two shoveled evenly.
This is a heavy physical work, and in the winter, he has to work bare-chested, and Zhang Nan is tired when he looks at it.
