Just as Meng Zitao was looking at the golden seal, He Wanyi came over first, and then Shu Ze and the others also came over to find Meng Zitao one after another. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Everyone saw the stone seal on the table that had been unloaded, and saw the gold seal next to it, and hurriedly asked what was going on, so Meng Zitao told him what had just happened.

Hearing that this is the case, everyone thinks that the liar is both angry and ridiculous, and it can be said that he has lost his wife and lost his soldiers.

Shu Ze picked up the golden seal and looked at it, and said strangely: "Didn't you say that this golden seal has been dissolved? ”

Meng Zitao picked up his mobile phone, found the relevant record on the Internet, and said: "You see, the original shop guy recalled that the gold seal was engraved with the words 'Long live the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Golden Seal', and I thought that the guy didn't remember it clearly, but if the dissolved gold seal is fake, it is normal." ”

Everyone agreed.

Xun Suo said: "It is indeed possible to say this, it seems that the gold seal should have been transferred to the original place." ”

Shu Ze smiled: "Isn't this nonsense, if there was no adjustment at the beginning, then where did this golden seal come from?"

Xun Suo smiled, and then asked, "How much is this gold seal worth?"

Meng Zitao said: "At least it should be worth a few million, and the specific price is not easy to say." ”

Xun Suo was surprised: "Obediently, you guys are really making money from antiques, and picking up a leak is for ordinary people, and they don't have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of their lives." ”

Shu Ze laughed: "The key is to pick up the leak, don't look at the news to pick up the leak and pick up the leak, in real life, how many people do you see the leak? If it is easy to pick up the leak, then don't all those who do this business become rich?"

Xun Suo shrugged his shoulders: "I just feel envious, just talk about it." ”

"Well, I don't think you'd better be envious. Shu Ze immediately said: "Don't turn your hobby to antiques again, let me tell you, this business is really a deception of the dead, and the speed of the loser is no slower than gambling stones." ”

Xun Suo shook his head with a sigh on his lips: "You are so boring, I don't just say that, where do you think of it." ”

"I know your personality too well, and I warn you, don't always rely on tricks. ”

Shu Ze said: "Forget it, I won't tell you the big truth, I guess you are tired of hearing it, I hope you think about it before you do something." Zitao, let's go downstairs for morning tea, after morning tea, let's go to Emerald City again, how about it?"

"Okay. ”

To say, the things in Tianguang Market are definitely good and cheap, but if you are looking for high-quality goods, you have to go to the Emerald City opposite Tianguang Market to take a look, like Meng Zitao and Shu Ze, go to Tianguang Market to buy things just to have a good time, have a fun, if you come to Jade City and only go to Tianguang Market, it will be similar to nothing for them.

After eating morning tea, everyone sat down for a while, and waited for noon before setting off for the Emerald City. It just so happened that the Emerald City was on the opposite side of the Tianguang Ruins, and they simply walked over from the Tianguang Ruins.

The daytime Tianguang Market is undoubtedly much more deserted, there are few people who buy goods inside, but the lights are still on in the daytime, which is really distinctive, but the goods are far worse than Lingli, and many of the beads are sold by the catty.

In addition, a lot of stall owners here love to play mahjong, a lot of mahjong during the day, come to the guests to stop the business to take care of the business, the guests went back to continue the war, next to a few garlic is a snack. Of course, this is just a joke, those few heads of garlic are actually carved, so vivid, and the carver has some skills.

During the day, the Tianguang Market was relatively weak, and everyone passed by and walked towards the Emerald City opposite.

Walking out of Tianguang Market, there is a row of parking places, Xun Suo looked to the side, and found that a van was parked not far away, the rear door of the van was open, a middle-aged man was sitting on the side, and the back compartment was full of all kinds of wool.

Although Xun Suo had already sworn not to gamble on stones, seeing this kind of scene still made his curiosity soar, and his steps subconsciously walked over there.

Shu Ze grabbed him and said with a smile: "Why do you want to go over and watch the excitement?"

Xun Suo laughed dryly: "Hehe, just look at the excitement." ”

Meng Zitao said: "I advise you not to go, no accident, there should be a sale of fake skin stones." ”

He Wanyi was surprised: "No, he is too bold to sell fakes." ”

Shu Ze said: "This is not blatant, making fake leather is also a technical job, done well, old players who have been in the market for many years will inevitably lose their eyes." ”

"Is it so powerful?"

Meng Zitao explained: "To make fake skin, you generally choose worthless mountain materials, find some jadeite, smash them, grind the prepared raw materials for fake skin, and round the mountain materials. Brush with another layer of I don't know what glue. The mountain materials used tend to be very dry green stones, such as those from Domo. ”

"With glue and jadeite noodles, you can make a variety of leather shells according to your needs, such as black black yarn, yellow sand skin, etc., but if you look closely, you will find that although the skin shells are different, the faintly exposed green 'meat' is almost the same, because it is from the same source. ”

"The fake leather made in this way gives people the illusion that it is from a certain field, and the surface is green, and the inner layer of green will have a kind of water, but in fact, it is not, it is generally just a bean green seed, and the value is very low. In fact, the master of making fake leather does not think that it is a shameful thing to make fake skin, which is like making B goods is not wrong, but the fault is the person who sells B goods as A goods. And this kind of thing deceives the most, that is, people who are just starting out in the industry like you. ”

Xun Suo smiled bitterly: "Why do you like to hit me one or two." ”

Shu Ze joked: "We're here to help you take care of your money bag, and you have to thank us for it." ”

Since he knew that there was a fake leather material for sale, Xun Suo had no interest in going over to see it, and everyone walked into the Emerald City with a smile and a smile.

To say that the Emerald City and Tianguang Market are similar in style, they are also rows of stalls, and there are also very distinctive gas lanterns.

At a cursory glance, there are a lot of colored goods in the Emerald City, and the quality is several grades higher than that of Tianguang Market, and of course, the price is also a few grades higher.

Looking at the rows of brightly colored jadeite, He Wanyi and Sima Yuelan were almost a little unable to walk, and when they saw the good ones here, they stopped and discussed, and when they saw the good ones over there, they stopped and looked, but they walked for a short distance and walked for fifteen or sixteen minutes, so that a few big men really didn't know what to say except for a wry smile.

It was He Wanyi who reacted first, and said with a smile: "You guys are busy with your going, and we'll look for you after we've finished reading it later." ”

Meng Zitao asked with concern, "You see for yourself that it's okay, right?"

"Don't worry, we're not stupid, we'll notify you if there's a problem, and besides, aren't there still Xiaolin and them?" He Wanyi pointed to the bodyguard next to him.

"Okay, call us if you have something......"

After separating from the two girls, Xun Suo couldn't wait to get busy.

Men tend to shop more purposefully, such as going directly to the street to buy what they want to buy and leaving, unlike women who have to pick and choose from this store and that store. This is how to buy jadeite in Xunsuo, once he sees it, as long as the jadeite is okay, he will start. In just half an hour, he had already chopped more than two million types of jadeite jewelry.

Of course, don't look at the money spent, put it on high-quality jadeite, it's really nothing, it's just a few.

Bought a Maitreya Buddha pendant, Xun Suo muttered: "Compared with the shopping mall, the things here are indeed cheaper, but they are not so cheap, can't I encounter the problem of missing something?"

Shu Ze laughed: "I want to pick up the leak too, but like I said just now, do you think there is a high probability of it happening? Especially you, it is even more unlikely." ”

"Why?" said Suo, unconvinced.

Shu Ze smiled: "I'll ask you, do you recognize the high-imitation BC goods?

"Uh...... Well, uh-huh...... "Xun Suo was a little hesitant, and he immediately diverted: "Can't you have a little skill in picking up leaks?"

Shu Ze thought for a while and said, "If you want to talk about skills, there are also skills. Generally speaking, a merchant who has been selling high-priced goods for a long time will not sell the bargains in his hand relatively cheaply; on the contrary, a merchant who has been selling low-priced goods for a long time will not sell them at a high price if he has a piece of material in his hand to make a high-priced goods. At this time, your chance to pick up the leak has come. But you've got to keep an eye on it, do you have that time?"

Xun Suo muttered: "It's so troublesome to pick up a leak, so forget it." ”

Meng Zitao listened to it and wanted to laugh a little, at this time, he saw a familiar figure in front of him, so he said to the two: "You wait a while, I seem to have seen my classmate." ”

As he spoke, he walked behind his target, waved his hand at the bodyguard next to him, and then patted the other party's shoulder and said, "Hey!"

Yu Weigang trembled, looked back and saw that it was Meng Zitao, and immediately patted his chest and said, "Zitao, don't you know that people are scared to death!"

Meng Zitao laughed and said, "Why didn't you think of this when you scared me at school?"

Yu Weigang smiled: "You kid really hold a grudge, it's been all these years, and you still remember the original thing." ”

"Hehe, who told you to scare me so badly. ”

"Besides, didn't I get beaten by you too?"

It turned out that when he was at school, Yu Weigang played a prank, pretending to be a ghost to scare Meng Zitao, Meng Zitao was scared enough at that time, and subconsciously gave Yu Weigang two punches, beating Yu Weigang to a blue nose and swollen face.

Thinking of that scene, Meng Zitao couldn't help but wonder: "By the way, why are you here?"

"Hey, don't talk about it, I was going to go to my business partner to ask for a debt, but I didn't expect the debt to arrive, so he gave me a collateral. I'm in a bad mood, so I'll come here for a walk. Yu Weigang depressedly raised the scroll in his hand.

"Is it an old painting?" Meng Zitao asked.

Yu Weigang said: "I don't know how old I am, that guy's wife said, what is this Zhu Cihong gave to his ancestors when he was a monk in Lingnan, I checked it with my mobile phone, this Zhu Cihong is actually the prince of Chongzhen, isn't this?"

"Is this painting related to Zhu Cihong?" Meng Zitao was slightly stunned.

It is said that in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng invaded the capital, Li Banghua, Shi Kefa and Jiang Yueguang hoped that Zhu Cihong would go to Jinling to supervise the country, but soon there was no result because the outer city of the capital was breached. Later, he planned to send Zhu Cihong to Zhu Chunchen's house for temporary refuge, but the inner city of the capital was breached, and Li Zicheng had already found him first.

Li Zicheng pointed out that Zhu Cihong was not guilty, and Zhu Cihong begged Li Zicheng to "not shock the mausoleum of my ancestors", "bury my father and queen mother with a ceremony", and "do not kill my people", and pointed out that the officials who surrendered now were disloyal and unrighteous and should be killed. Later, he was named the King of Song. After Li Zicheng retreated, Wu Sangui returned to Beijing and was named Yixing, but Zhu Cihong disappeared in the chaos.

But this is only one theory, and there is also a theory that Zhu Cihong was killed by the Qing army, and the last theory is that he went to become a monk.

It is said that on the way to the defeat of Li Zicheng's army in the capital, Liu Zongmin was seriously injured and relaxed his supervision of the prince, so he found an opportunity to escape from King Chuang's army with his former teacher Li Shichun, and later came to Li Tuchun's hometown and became a monk. It is said that after the death of the crown prince, the temple began to enshrine a shrine of "Prince Bodhisattva". This statue was always retained until after the Xinhai Revolution and the fall of the Qing Dynasty, and people knew that the statue originally enshrined was the fugitive prince of the Ming Dynasty. Li Shichun's descendants also claimed that their ancestors had indeed saved the prince in the chaos and brought him back to his hometown, and the two became monks together.

It is difficult to distinguish the truth from the falsehood, but this is a part of the mystery of the life and death of the crown prince, which adds a lot of confusing colors to history and shows its infinite charm.

"By the way, you're doing antiques, show me quickly. ”

Meng Zitao opened the scroll and saw that the pattern on it was somewhat familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he found that it was the island map that he had gotten at the beginning.

Could it be

The amount of silver hidden in the palace of the Ming Dynasty has always been a puzzling unsolved case. After the twentieth year of Wanli (1592), the country was troubled, the expenses were incalculable, and the finances became increasingly difficult, in addition to increasing the exploitation of the people, the court officials on the one hand opposed the emperor's continued withdrawal of silver from Taicang, and on the other hand, called on the emperor to "issue internal funds" to alleviate the economic crisis.

During the Chongzhen period, the country's finances faced collapse, in order to cope with disaster relief, military salaries and other sudden changes, Emperor Chongzhen also occasionally took out some silver taels to deal with emergencies, the amount was not large, but this caused the court officials to misestimate the royal treasury.

Therefore, until a few days before the death of the Ming Dynasty, the ministers were still arguing with "please send the internal money", which shows that the silver hidden in the palace was confusing at that time. At that time, there were three theories in the records of the government and the opposition: one was that there was a large amount of silver hidden in the palace, with a total of tens of millions of taels, the second was that although there was silver in the palace, there was not much of it, and the third was that there was nothing in the palace.

After the death of the Ming Dynasty until modern times, there are even more opinions on this issue. Guo Moruo concluded in the "Jiashen Three Hundred Years Festival" that there was a large amount of silver in the palace at the time of the death of the Ming Dynasty, and believed that there should be 37 million taels of silver and 1.5 million taels of gold in the Ming Palace, which was quite large.

So, was there any silver hidden in the Ming Emperor's Palace? Many of the statements were told by people who experienced it at the time, so it can't be all groundless.
