When Shu Ze saw the face of the two coins, the one placed on it, he couldn't help but be stunned, and couldn't help but exclaim: "This is the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's big money?!"

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Great Money was not a circulating coin, nor did it belong to the town treasury, but a commemorative coin with the nature of an open furnace or a specially minted coin at that time. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Mingcheng, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, sent a letter to the British translator of Fu Li, saying: "The holy money of our country has been done today, and it has been spent a lot of money, and I respectfully present it to my subordinates to play to show friendship." From this, it can be seen that this kind of large money is used for rewards or gifts, and should be called "gift money".

Most of the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom spending money is found in Jinling, and there are four kinds of found successively, which are extra, large, medium and small, but the number is very rare. For example, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Special Fortune is said to be in the Shonan History Museum, but only half of it is in the collection, and this half of the piece weighs 2,170 grams.

Shu Ze said that this Taiping Heavenly Kingdom big money, judging from the size, should be a small big money.

Shu Ze came back to his senses and hurriedly asked Meng Zitao to get the money.

I saw that the front side is surrounded by "two dragons grabbing pearls", and the back is surrounded by "eight treasures" pattern. The bead is surrounded by the rays of fire, not the rays of the sun. The pattern between the tail of the double dragon is called "Shoushan Fuhai", but it is also known as "the sea water is towards the sky", which means auspicious. The back is surrounded by a pattern of "eight treasures", also known as "eight auspicious".

Previously, the only Taiping Heavenly Kingdom trumpet was collected by the big collector Ma Dingxiang, and later appeared in the auction market and was auctioned for a high price.

Now that he actually found such a precious money, Shu Ze was surprised, and Lian Dao's luck was so good that he was able to find such a precious ancient spring.

Although there is definitely a difference between the only one and the only two, and it will affect some value to some extent, this kind of spending is quite rare, and even if it does, it is not big, and it is estimated that the current value should be about one million.

Meng Zitao smiled and put another copper coin in front of Shu Ze and said, "Look at this one again." ”

Shu Ze took the coin with some curiosity, and his mouth immediately opened slightly: "It's actually Qixiang Heavy Treasure?

"Qixiang", the name of the late Qing Dynasty, although it is not far from now, many people should not have much impression.

In the eleventh year of Xianfeng, that is, in 1861 AD, Emperor Xianfeng died of illness in Rehe, and eight ministers such as Zaiyuan were bequeathed and assisted by the edict, and changed the yuan "Qixiang" to cast Qixiang Tongbao and Qixiang heavy treasure. Manchu Discipline Bureau. Tongbao is Xiaoping, and Chongbao is ten.

However, soon there was a coup and d'état, and the three ministers of Zaiyuan, Sushun, and Duanhua were killed, and the Empress Dowager Cixi listened to the government and changed the name of the year to "Tongzhi".

The name of "Qixiang" was changed to "Tongzhi" for one month, so the minting period of Qixiang money was less than a month, so the amount was very rare, not to mention the town treasury money.

The so-called town treasury money, in order to suppress disasters and drive away evil spirits, pray for auspicious wealth and eternal town wealth, the imperial court in the coinage, more in the treasury set up a shrine, in order to worship the god of wealth, the owner of the warehouse, the land, the god of fire and other gods. Above the incense case of the shrine, most of them hang a special large coin, which is draped with red silk and hung with tassels below, which is called the town treasury money.

The town treasury money, for the non-circulating coins, its minting amount is very small, by the craftsmen carefully cast, the process is very fine, can be called the representative work of the advanced coinage technology at that time.

Like the town treasury money in front of you, the diameter alone is about ten centimeters, and the diameter of the ordinary version is only 3.5 centimeters, its face text is "Qixiang Heavy Treasure", the back of the "Daqing Town Library", the word is as deep as carving, the copper is nine smelting copper, Seiko casting, has a very high collection value.

Shu Ze carefully observed this town treasury coin, the coin was simple and well-made, and it was undoubtedly the same as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom money just now, it was undoubtedly genuine.

After a while, Shu Ze raised his head and exclaimed: "This town treasury coin is quite precious and rare, and the condition is quite perfect, it is an extremely beautiful product, with the current market value, there is no three million that cannot be completely lowered." ”

"Yes. Meng Zitao smiled and nodded, such a treasure ancient spring must be extremely concerned and favored by the quan family, not only is it worth amazing now, but also has great potential for appreciation.

The two discussed for a while, and Shu Ze looked at the two coins in front of him and asked, "What are you going to do with these two coins?"

"It depends on what you mean, this luck will be counted on your head today. Meng Zitao said with a smile.

"Come on. Shu Ze waved his hand: "I'm still a little self-aware, if it weren't for your sharp eyes, I wouldn't have asked for this box at all." ”

"Then what do you mean, do you want to give it to me?" Meng Zitao asked with a smile.

Shu Ze smiled: "Of course it's impossible, those who see it have a share, one for each of the two copper coins." ”

"After doing it for a long time, it turned out that it was just a nice word. ”

Meng Zitao said a few jokes, and then asked Shu Ze which one he wanted.

Shu Ze pointed to the money on the left and said, "Just this money, I want to use it as a favor." It's just that it's a little reluctant to send such a treasure ancient spring out. ”

"Who are you going to give it to?"

"An elder. ”

"If I wasn't too familiar or had something to ask for, I don't think I would have to give such a valuable gift. ”

"Okay, I've got ...... in mind."

Since they still had to go to Jiang Lao's side, everyone didn't talk much, packed up their things and walked out of the teahouse.

On the way, Shu Ze asked about the ambush that Meng Zitao had been ambushed when he returned to the town from Bacun.

"It's been a few days, hasn't the person been found?"

"Nope. ”

"There's no clue at all. Shu Ze was a little puzzled.

Meng Zitao shook his head: "Of course it can't be, but you have to figure it out, that old pole is a black fire person, how can this organization have such a powerful force now, how can it be so simple." ”

Shu Ze was very surprised: "Black Fire?

Meng Zitao said a little helplessly: "I originally thought that it was the person who was looking for the spirit guard to trouble me, but who knew that it was actually the person from the black fire." ”

"How can the people of Black Fire stay in that kind of place?" Shu Ze was a little incredulous, after all, that place in Bacun was too remote, and if there was anything urgent, it would take a lot of time to go out.

Meng Zitao said: "There are several speculations now, but if you can't find anyone, you can't be sure. ”

Shu Ze said: "Doesn't his family know anything about it?"

"I really didn't know about it. ”

Meng Zitao said: "This man had been working alone in other places, and when he returned to live in the village two years ago, according to him, he had an accident and broke his bones, so he had to go home. It's impossible to know what happened. I went to the city he had told his family about, and it turned out that he had never been there at all, and he didn't know where he had gone in the years he had been working before. Anyway, if you want to find him now, I think you can only rely on hard work and some luck. ”

Shu Ze smacked his lips: "That's how the population base is, if it's like in the movie novel, everyone carries a chip with them, and they don't have to work so hard to find it." ”

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "It's hard to say, you must know that this world's "Tao is one zhang high" and "magic one zhang high" have always been alternating with each other, and there is no measure to guarantee perfection. ”

The two walked and chatted, and after a while, they came to the door of an antique shop called Zhigu Zhai.

Meng Zitao recalled that the word "governing the ancients" should come from "Xunzi Zhenglun": "The worldly speaker said: 'There is no physical punishment for governing the ancients, but there is an elephant punishment. Yang Liang noted: "Governing the ancients, governing the world in the ancients." ”

Therefore, the rule of ancient times means the peaceful and prosperous world of ancient times.

Meng Zitao didn't quite understand why Jiang Lao came up with such a store name, but the calligraphy was extremely good, which famous artist should have come from.

Shu Ze saw where Meng Zitao was paying attention, and said with a smile: "Do you think this name is a little incomprehensible?"

Meng Zitao nodded: "Yes." ”

Shu Ze smiled: "If it is broken, it is simple, which period of the general antique is the most excellent?"

Meng Zitao suddenly understood the meaning, generally speaking, all kinds of antiques made during the period of peace and prosperity are relatively good, of course, this mainly refers to officials and works. In times of war, it is difficult for people to survive, so how can they bother to make any fine products?

In this way, the reason why Jiang Lao took this store is because the store is a high-quality product.

"Understood, by the way, who wrote this word, is it also Jiang Lao?"

"I don't have that level. As soon as Meng Zitao's words fell, Jiang Lao walked out with a smile.

"Jiang Lao. Shu Ze and Meng Zitao immediately greeted each other.

Jiang Lao responded, and then said: "I asked an old friend to help write this calligraphy, he is also a family scholar, and he is a calligrapher with both rigidity and softness, but unfortunately he died early, otherwise he would have been a well-known calligrapher in China by now." ”

In the end, Jiang Lao looked a little sad.

Shu Ze hurriedly comforted a few words, Jiang Lao waved his hand, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just that I'm old, and it's easy to touch the scene." Let's go, let's go inside. ”

Jiang Lao took everyone inside, and Meng Zitao looked left and right.

The decoration of the store is relatively simple, but the furnishings are very reasonable, some are easier to bump into the position, and some reminder slogans have been added, and some places have more intimate layouts, which can also be seen the owner's intentions.

The shops are basically made of porcelain, which is classified according to dynasties, even if it is made in modern times, it is also marked, giving people a feeling of childlike innocence.

After Shu Ze took his seat, he found that Jiang Lao was the only one in the store, and asked, "Why is it that you are the only one in the store today?"

Jiang Lao said: "I didn't plan to come back when I went to help Zhangyan today, but Xiao Xu also had some things at home, so I gave him a day off." By the way, is it going well over there over there?"

Shu Ze shook his head: "There was a bump at the bottom of that statue, I used it as a gift, so I didn't ask for it, and finally the quilt Zitao wanted to go." (To be continued.) )
