Chapter 421: Kuanyong Tongbao (2)

"That's not necessarily, our country has a rule, if it is not a national treasure heavyweight, or it has lost its age and there is no lord to claim it, if you see it first, you have the right of priority. ”

"What is the right of first refusal, it is your own. ”

……

Chen Fan looked at these noisy and shouted, and said with a smile: "Hehe, I'm probably a little eyebrow-raising, you look at these coins, they are all the same, although they are all Chinese characters, but they are a little different from those coins of the Ming and Qing dynasties."

I touched one, and the texture is thicker than "Xianfeng Tongbao", only the color of the coin is slightly light brown, not as bright as "Xianfeng Tongbao".

Look at the words on the coin surface, the front is actually "Kuanyong Tongbao", and the back is the pattern of the money string. ”

"What is the name of Kanyong, how come I have never heard of it. ”

"I'm an academic emperor: I haven't heard of it either. ”

"Damn, the Academic Emperor is here, you came just in time, you are well-informed, quickly show Fan Ye what kind of coin it is. ”

"What's so nice about money?"

"I don't need you to look for it, I already know, this is a batch of ancient coins from the island country, Kanyong Tongbao, very cheap and common, I don't know how it was hidden in gasoline barrels. ”

"Kuanyong Tongbao is the largest coinage, the longest mintage period and the largest number of varieties in the history of the island nation, and it is also one of the largest foreign coins flowing into China.

It was first cast in the 3rd year of Emperor Kanei (1626) of the 108th Emperor Gomizuo of the island country, and was minted in large quantities from 1636.

At that time, the island country had coins minted in various places, and they were still in use until the early Meiji era, and they were in circulation for more than 240 years, and then they were abolished due to the fall of the Tokugawa shogunate.

Kuanyong Tong treasure money has been flowing into China in the long-term Sino-Japanese trade and exchanges, and has been found in various parts of China so far. ”

At the same time, the island country is also the first country to start imitating China's square hole round coins.

According to some experts' research, about 708 A.D. in the first year of Emperor Yuanmei and the same year of the Nara Dynasty (708 A.D., equivalent to the second year of Emperor Jinglong of the Tang Dynasty in China), they began to imitate the Chinese Tang Dynasty coinage, and minted the "Hetong Kaiju" square hole round coin.

By the 60s of the 19th century, a total of 32 kinds of square hole round coins were minted, among which the "Kuanyong Tongbao" was the one with the largest amount of minting. ”

"China's Ming Dynasty implemented the banknote, silver, copper money parallel system, but the copper coins are seriously insufficient, in the Ming Dynasty of the seventeen emperors, only nine generations of emperors have minted coins (such as the Ming Xuanzong since the Xuande years of the decades have not been minted).

Therefore, the old copper coins of the Tang and Song dynasties were allowed to enter the stream, which provided conditions for the circulation of private coins and imitation coins from island countries that flowed into China.

The island country began to mint the "Kuanyong Tongbao" copper coin in the second year of "Kuanyong" (1625 AD, equivalent to the fifth year of the Ming Xizong Tianqi), and went through ten dynasties such as Emperor Tianmei to Emperor Xiaoming, and ended in 1867 (equivalent to the sixth year of Tongye in China's Qing Dynasty), which lasted for 242 years.

Therefore, the time when "Kuanyong Tongbao" circulated to Laiwu should be at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty at the earliest.

The island country's "Kuanyong Tongbao" money has been circulating among the people for many years, and it was not until the early years of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty that the government knew about it, and it was suspected that it was privately minted money, and it also used another "year name", which was tantamount to rebellion.

Therefore, Emperor Qianlong ordered the governors and governors of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian to open the furnace and sell people.

Fortunately, the staff of Jiangsu Governor Zhuang Yougong was well-informed and told his history.

As a result, Yin Jishan, the governor of Liangjiang, and Zhuang Yougong, the governor of Jiangsu, "will be on the top" and tell the ins and outs, and the Qianlong Emperor ordered that merchant ships were strictly forbidden to carry Japanese money;

If it is used by the people, it is bought by the official. At this point, the matter is over. ”
