Huo Sining didn't want to care about those trivial matters, she was now all down on the dozen or so ancient paintings suspected of Picasso, and after the group returned to the hotel that Gu Xu booked, Huo Sining couldn't wait to find a camera to take a batch of photos, and then Bai Yishan emailed the photos to her teacher. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that the process of waiting for the other party's reply is long, and Bai Yishan doesn't know when her teacher will reply to her, so Huo Sining was bored for a while, so she took out the four gold coins again.

She didn't care much about these gold coins, so she took a few photos casually, and then took a look at Ouyang Jun and Su Jinyuan on Weibo, and posted a Weibo in a mocking tone:

Just took a walk by the beach in Dover and picked up a few of these things, does anyone want them?

The Weibo text was followed by a few nose-picking expressions.

Ouyang Jun and Su Jinyuan both knew that they had come to Europe, but because they were busy with the company's affairs, they could only be envious and jealous.

Huo Sining's intention in posting this picture was also to appease the appetite of Ouyang Jun and the others.

However, what Huo Sining didn't expect was that after her Weibo was sent, it didn't take long for someone to call her busily:

"Is the picture on your Weibo real?"

The person who called was not Ouyang Jun or Su Jinyuan, but her senior brother Ji Kun.

Huo Sining didn't understand the meaning of his senior brother's words: "What Weibo picture?"

Ji Kun asked a little eagerly: "It's those gold coins, you really found the gold coins on the shore of Dover?"

Huo Sining suddenly came to his senses and said with a smile: "Did you see it?" haha, why did you react faster than Ouyang Jun and them, I'll tease them, where is this thing picked up on the beach, then everyone went to the beach to pan for gold?"

Hearing Huo Sining's words, Ji Kun was speechless: "You guy is unlucky, who knows if you really picked up a leak on the beach, I remember that when you were in China before, didn't you still pick up ambergris on the beach? I thought you guys had picked up a treasure again, it turned out that the photo was fake, where did you find the photo, and it fooled me?"

Ji Kun only heard Huo Sining say that he was playing with Ouyang Jun and Su Jinyuan, so he took it for granted that the photo posted by Huo Sining on Weibo was fake.

Huo Sining was happy when she heard this, and she didn't intend to hide it from Ji Kun, so she said directly:

"Senior brother, I mean that the fact that I was picking up treasures at the beach is fake, but that photo is not fake. I really have gold coins in my hand, and I just took the picture, and I didn't pick it up at the beach, but I fished it in the sea when I went out to sea. ”

The breath on the other side of the phone sank, and it was quiet for a while, and after a long time, I heard the sound of someone gasping:

"You...... It's so lucky that people are jealous, you can pick up the treasure when you go to Dover for a vacation, I'm really convinced, you can keep the gold coins, I guess it won't be long before a European will contact you. ”

Huo Sining was stunned when she heard this, she didn't feel anything before, but now when she heard Ji Kun's words, she suddenly realized that something was wrong, if it was just a few ordinary gold coins, it would definitely not be so hard as to let her senior brother call and ask, so these gold coins are definitely not just ordinary Spanish currency.

"Wait, brother, don't hang up yet!"

Huo Sining was anxious: "No, senior brother, is there anything wrong with those gold coins? I don't know much about European history, and I don't know the origin of those gold coins, why do Europeans come to contact me, are those gold coins very valuable?"

Ji Kun was stunned on the other end of the phone: "You don't know where those gold coins come from?"

Huo Sining said: "I don't know, I just came back from the sea, just went back to the hotel to rest, I can't see the gold coin, I only know that it is something from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, it should be the currency of Spain, what, is the gold coin very big?"

When asked this, Huo Sining's heart couldn't help but tighten, and his eyes fell on the few pure gold round coins on the table.

Ji Kun was quite surprised by Huo Sining's answer, he thought that his junior sister had always been omnipotent and omniscient, and he was so lucky that he was so lucky that he didn't expect that Huo Sining's shortcomings would also be encountered.

"Didn't you take the national team to the International Treasure Appreciation Conference before? At your level, you are still the captain, and you actually let you be a champion, how did you do it?"

Ji Kun shook his head and teased, but he didn't sell it, and said directly: "You go to the Internet to search for it yourself, search for Philip V directly, and you should be able to see it." ”

Huo Sining entered the keywords that Ji Kun said into the search engine, and soon, relevant information about Philip V appeared in the search engine.

This Philip V is the founder of the Bourbon dynasty in Spain, the son of Louis **** of France, the grandson of King Louis XIV of France, and has the title of Duke of Anjou.

When King Carlos II of Spain died in 1700, King Carlos II of the House of Habsburg passed the entire estate to Philip V, who became the first king of the Bourbon dynasty of Spain for forty-six years.

However, the accession of Philip V to the throne caused discontent among the Habsburgs, who did not recognize the status of Philip V and declared Archduke Charles, the son of the Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I, the heir to the Spanish throne.

This was followed by the War of the Spanish Succession, which lasted for more than a decade until 1711, when Archduke Charles succeeded him as Holy Roman Emperor.

According to historical records, since 1520, the king of Spain would send two fleets of gold and silver from the New World back to the mainland every year, one of which sailed to North America was called the New Spanish fleet.

After the end of the Civil War, Philip V faced a huge financial deficit and was under great pressure to rebuild after the war, so in 1714, Philip V decided to resume the annual dispatch of the New World Fleet and re-ship gold and silver back to the mainland.

A year later, the new fleet was formed, and despite the hurricane-prone season, Philip V had no time to take care of the dangers of navigation, and still insisted on going his own way, ordering the fleet laden with gold and silver to leave port.

Shortly thereafter, the fleet was hit by a hurricane near Florida, sinking 11 of the fleet's 12 ships.

In this way, the New Spanish fleet disappeared from the sea with gold and silver equivalent to at least three years' tribute from Spain and North America, which was the legendary Spanish royal currency. (To be continued.) )
