Originally, it was not completely certain whether the one below was a Huaxia ship or an Arab ship, but with the release of the Holy Decree Gold Medal and the Yuan Dynasty coins of the same household official seal, it was basically possible to determine that this was a Huaxia ship.

Whether it's a foreign mission or a trade, it's always necessary to bring some cash, especially for the "diplomatic team". Although there are tens of thousands of copper coins such as "Zhizheng Tongbao" found before, and there are ten major coins, but when they go to the Middle East, this copper coin is not as good as in the Far East and Southeast Asia.

During the Yuan Dynasty, Chinese coins were used in the Far East and Southeast Asia, even in Japan: although the Mongols did not take Japan, in the middle and late Yuan Dynasty, a large number of Chinese coins were "exported" to Japan.

The little devils like Chinese copper coins, and their own metal coins are not enough at all: it is very strange that the little devils produce copper, and in the Qing Dynasty, they could export more copper coins to China, but they did not have the ability to mint enough copper coins.

Chinese copper coins traveled to the Far East and Southeast Asia, but not in the Ilkhanate: even if Chinese copper coins were available there, the more popular hard currency throughout the Middle East was gold and silver coins.

It is very likely that the tens of thousands of copper coins were only used by the ship to pay for the cost of docking at some supply ports in Southeast Asia, not for the cost after arriving at the destination.

Zhang Nan thought of the problem of the very few copper coins on the "Blackstone", but soon gave a very understandable answer: the gold and silver are of great value, and the place where the "Blackstone" hit the reef and sank is not far from the coast, and the crew in distress may still have time to rescue the gold and silver currency and bring it ashore with them.

Unfortunately, the valuable gold and silver objects were hidden in the bilge compartment, and the hole caused by the collision was in the bilge, and the crew could not take them out.

Gold and silver are good, the world can be used!

is like the Maggie Toast played by Liu ei in "The Dust Settles" said when he married his daughter: "Silver, everywhere you go, it's money!"

Tusi's daughter returned to her hometown in Aba Tibetan area after studying in the UK, and told her family that she would return to the UK to marry in a short time.

Father and Mrs. Tusi also understood that this daughter would never come back in the future, so they gave many boxes of silver ingots and silver dollars as dowries—far away, through India to China, and then through Tibet to Aba.

Mrs. Toast was still a little worried, because she had heard that British money was used in the United Kingdom, and if the silver ingots and silver dollars brought with her could not be used as money in the United Kingdom, the eldest lady might be looked down upon by her husband's family.

As a result, Maggie Toast said a very bullish sentence: "Silver, everywhere is money!"

The TV series released at the beginning of 03, Zhang Nan went to the main filming location of this TV series when he traveled before, Malkang Zhuokeji Tusi Guanzhai, so the film was basically watched from beginning to end.

There is not much impression left, but there is a foolish second young master, a beautiful Fan Ye, and the old toast's awesome-coaxing words!

Antique players, raise your hands in favor of Maggie's toast!

The Ilkhanate liked to use gold and silver coins, and the Yuan dynasty used paper money and copper coins, but also silver ingots and girdle gold ingots.

The name "silver ingot" still started from the Yuan Dynasty, probably the meaning of "the treasure of the great yuan", as for the silver money, it is basically the nature of reward money, sample money, and offering money, and it is generally not circulated.

But if for some purpose, the Yuan Dynasty government minted a batch of silver coins was also a very simple matter.

There are 12 silver ingots of 50 taels and 2 gold ingots of 10 taels, all of which are common "girdle ingots" in the Yuan Dynasty.

The thickness of the oxide layer on the surface of the silver ingot was much thicker than that of the hundred copper seals, and it was not easy to see what words were engraved on the silver ingots.

In this regard, Chen Jianghua reassured Zhang Nan: "When you arrive in the United States, I will help you get some cleaning liquid, which is very convenient to restore, and the words on it will be read clearly, and it can also leave a little original oxide layer." ”

To do this, the people who come out of the museum are experts, and they also have their own secret recipes, which can generally be done with some common chemical agents.

However, even if the oxide layer is thick, it can be determined by the appearance and weight that these 12 silver ingots are all official silver, and it is very likely that they are still tax silver.

The Yuan Dynasty began to use the silver standard, and the taxes handed over to the central government in various places were basically submitted with this kind of silver ingot, and many were found in China before.

As for the two gold ingots, there is a word "king" on them, according to Zhang Nan's judgment, it may be the mark of a workshop, not even the name of the maker, it is unlikely to be something from the government.

As for the two boxes of money, they were scattered because they were basically rotten. It wasn't until late in the evening that the divers cleared all the money.

The "Zhizheng Tongbao" small flat coin specifications are 25 mm in diameter, and each piece weighs about four grams.

There is a Ba Si Pa text on the back, which Zhang Nandao knows, is "Mao", because in the Hongwu cellar dug out of the construction site of the Xingguang Pharmaceutical Factory in Yan County, there are many such copper versions of Zhizheng Tongbao Xiaoping coins.

There is no need to count the number, once the pound is over, a total of 80 kilograms is less than the point.

"A box of real ten, a total of 20, each box of ten. ”

Zhang Nan didn't bother to think about how much such a positive silver coin was worth, anyway, it wouldn't be less: if you find so much, you can take out one or two to give it away.

To the Zheng Tongbao, the coinage of the Yuan Shun Emperor to the Zheng period, the Chinese characters are generally read directly in regular script, the text is particularly beautiful, and it can be regarded as one of the beautiful springs in the Yuan Dynasty coinage.

A lot of "Zhizheng Tongbao" back wear respectively Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu five kinds of eight Si Pa Wen Di Zhi years, this batch of silver money is the same, relying on these years, make a phone call to the agricultural curator, it is estimated that it will not take long to give a few exact casting years.

But!

Before Zhang Nan could call Nong Bosheng, the satellite phone that Randy kept rang.

It's not the one for daily communication, but the other: it's a call that Zhang Nan, Guan Xingquan and Xiang Weirong have the power to make and receive, and when it rings, it means that there is something very important.

It was Nicole who called, very "strange", she said: "Honey, Chenchen has a little cough, if you are almost busy, come back early." ”

"Okay, I'll be back as soon as possible. ”

As soon as he hung up the phone, he said to Guan Xingquan, who was following him: "The salvage is suspended, go to the airport on the island immediately, and inform the crew to be ready to take off at any time."

Notify the company, get the route right away, and we'll be in New York right away!"

Guan Xingquan knew that something big would happen as soon as this phone rang, so he immediately took out another phone number and started contacting.

Zhang Nan found Chen Jianghua and told him about the suspension of salvage for a day, "The yacht will send me back to the airport on the island first, you will continue tomorrow, I have something at home." ”

Chen Jianghua didn't ask what the reason was, "You are busy, the most important thing is at home." ”

Zhang Nan values his family the most, and if his sister is sick, she still has it!

It's not about going home as soon as possible, but about going back right away!

But there is a small problem: the family calls the heart and liver baby sister, but they don't have the habit of calling Chenchen.

This is actually one of the pre-agreed code words, saying that this article is to mean "go home immediately without stopping".

There is going home, of course, there is also a code saying "if there is an accident at home, don't come back", in order to be able to contact urgently when the satellite phone is unreliable.

Go home, there's something big!

……

The boss had something to do at home, and the salvage work was immediately suspended, and all the divers returned to the yacht, leaving five people on the small salvage boat, and they would wait in this area for the night.

The yacht "Sunshine Star" will make supplies on Belitung Island and will return here tomorrow morning.

Although the salvage boat is not large, it is still okay for five people to spend the night: this is the high seas, what if there are pirates?

Don't worry, with fully automatic weapons, it's not certain who will fight who will fight when the pirates come!

Even if you can't beat it, it's still no problem to run away for the time being, the salvage boat is equipped with a high-power high-speed diesel engine, and it can run 30 knots at the fastest, and the pirates' small broken ships can't catch up.

……

Zhang Nan didn't have much heart to think about the next salvage, and as soon as he arrived at the port, he immediately took a car to the airport.

The route from the United States has been approved, and as for Indonesia, it just needs to take off.

Flying over the Pacific Ocean to Los Angeles, refueling and crossing the American continent again, finally arriving on Long Island, New York after a long voyage of more than ten hours.

It was already late afternoon in New York.

When I returned to the manor, I didn't think that Thomas was there.

"What's the situation?"

In a hurry, but I didn't call for nearly 20 hours before, so it's strange if I'm not in a hurry: Zhang Nan knows that it's not his own heart and liver baby coughing and getting sick, and this situation will only be because of the safety of his own interest group!

But since it's for me to go home quickly, it means that it's not a terrible thing, but it must be urgent!

Thomas waited in the living room, not even sitting.

Seeing that the boss came back, he asked so anxiously, and hurriedly said: "Paul and Davis have gone to Helsinki, and there is a situation on Alyosha's side."

Davis happened to be in New York. ”

Zhang Nan frowned, and even Guan Xingquan behind him felt the seriousness of the situation.

Helsinki is the capital of Finland, and Alyosha is going to the Soviet Union, but he will go to Finland, then there must be something big!

And even Davis, who was the manager of a Canadian mining company, was sent out, which must be the most confidential and deadly thing!

Who is the most central person around the boss?

These people who have been to West Germany and the Philippines to hunt for treasures together are all interest groups that are really tied to a rope, and they are both prosperous and afraid of loss! But now, these most reliable people are either in Africa, or they have been taken by their bosses before, or they have returned to China.

Not much can be used, and it seems too late to bring back some of the old brothers from Africa and the Philippines.

The "United Forces" are their own private army, but if the matter is so important that only these old brothers can do it, then it will definitely turn the matter upside down!

There was a sofa next to it, and as soon as Zhang Nan motioned for the other two to sit down, he heard Thomas continue: "In addition to Alyosha, we also sent 8 people to the Soviet Union, and 3 of them came back before.

Of those who remained in the USSR later, now only Alyosha is still alive. ”

Zhang Nan's brows furrowed even deeper, "What the hell is going on?"

I just went to the front station to buy arms, how could it be like this!

"It's not clear, but it should be related to arms. Just two hours before I called you, I received a call from Alyosha who said he was in Helsinki, sick, and had called on a disposable secure mobile phone that had been prepared earlier......"

Sickness, in fact, should mean injury. Zhang Nan also knows those mobile phones: the mobile phone itself is not disposable, but its mission will only be disposable, and it will not be found out who the owner is.

“… He didn't say much, not to ask for help, but to have one or two old friends who could go to Helsinki to take care of him for a while.

I sent Paul and Davis to pick him up, there must be something big, but Alyosha obviously didn't want you or too many people to go there, otherwise he would have said he needed to answer instead of taking care of him.

Now we have to wait until Paul or Davis returns, and then the matter will become clear. ”

Why didn't you say that Alyosha came back?

What he wants is "care", not "answer", which means that he can't come back for the time being, or doesn't want to come back!

You can only wait.

Guan Xingquan asked some details of the conversation between Thomas and Alyosha, and felt that Alyosha said that there was no flaw, and he couldn't tell what happened to him for the time being, so he could only wait.

It's a bit of a torment.

Everything is fine at home, the family doctor has come to look at my sister's throat, thinking that the problem is not big, it may be a little cold caused by a cold before, it is recommended to do more outdoor activities.

If you really have a cough at night, then take a pediatric cough medicine for two or three days according to the prescription and wrap it up.

Acting a full set, in fact, the child is very good, and he doesn't cough at all at night!

The best doctor of this thing is not very obvious: the child is not with the doctor at night, and sleeps with Nicole and Jenny.

After two days of waiting, Davis returned.

It was a Finn civil airline, and it was a "fake real passport". After going to New York City and changing taxis three times, with the anti-investigation capabilities of the police, it was impossible for the CIA to find out the extent to which the American citizen who had returned from Finland had disappeared, and then he arrived at the manor.

It's not a car, but a small motorized fishing boat, coming back from the pier.

Very good, seeing this guy Davis appear on the trestle with his empty hands, Zhang Nan knew that there was a big problem!

said to Guan Xingquan: "Go to the warehouse." ”

These two days are special, so that the art firm experts have rested, and there is no one inside.

Yes, not a study, not a reception room, but went to the underground storeroom of the house next door.

The most interesting thing is that Davis actually stripped himself naked in front of the first riot door, and asked Zach to check himself from head to toe with a metal detector, and then put on a blanket that Randy got him.

After entering the second vault door, Davis put on a new set of clothes that Zach had lent him, and even the shoes were a pair of slippers from Zach's dormitory, and he had the replaced outfit burned

The old brothers in the United States are here, and that's the right thing.

"What kind of plane did you just make?"

Zhang Nan endured his temperament and waited for Davis to finish the unbelievable things before asking him.

As soon as Davis saw himself, Thomas and Guan Xingquan before, he gestured: I'll talk about it later.

Only then did Davis smile bitterly and said, "Boss, I've actually changed a set of clothes, but I'm not at ease with myself, so I'll do it like this to make you feel at ease with me." ”

It's a bit of a winding!

"What's the situation? Just say what's the situation on Alyosha's side? You also look at it here, it's all your real own people!"

What is there to worry about Davis? What could make Davis force himself to be like this?

"Alyosha can't die, he just got a little bit of a minor injury, but he can't come back for the time being, and he has to make sure that he is not noticed and watched, because he got something that kills people from Ukraine in the south of the Soviet Union. ”

Guan Xingquan, who was on the side, frowned and asked, "What is it?"

Davis smiled wryly again, "5 boxes." ”

"Boxes?"

"Suitcase nuclear bombs, two models, one weighing forty kilograms, adjustable in yield from 0.2 to 1000 tons. The second type weighs 30 kg with a box equivalent of 5 to 500 tons.

It can be detonated at a timed time alone, Alyosha has a password, it's not a dead bullet, the kind that can be exploded. ”

It was cool in the basement and even cooler now!
