Zhang Tianyuan was not afraid that Mo Xie would refuse to trade, because even if he refused, he would not have any loss. I believe that the police will not object to him doing this, after all, if it is just a small transaction, there is no way to dig up more materials, and you can't catch big fish, just catch some small shrimp, then it's not interesting.

After being silent for a long time, Mo Ye suddenly asked: "Boss Zhang, are you teaming up with the police to trap me, I remember that you are a very cautious person, how could you take the initiative to ask for a large heavy weapon?"

"Forget it, love to talk about it, anyway, this matter, you came to me, do I want your things to live, then that's it, hang up." Cold sweat was already oozing from Zhang Tianyuan's forehead, he knew that what Mo Xie said at this time was deceiving him and wanted to trap him, so he should insist even more and not let the other party see any flaws.

"Don't, don't hang up, that's a good point, why do you have to hang up. Boss Zhang, don't blame me for being suspicious, this bronze heavy weapon is extremely inconvenient to transport or trade. I could have put a few small things in my bag to shoot, but this bronze weight is too big to be impossible, and it could be seized by the police at any time. Mo Xie hurriedly stopped Zhang Tianyuan and said.

Zhang Tianyuan naturally had no intention of hanging up, and when he heard Mo Ye's words, a smile appeared on his face, but he still said it very decisively.

"Mo Xie, you also underestimate me Zhang Tianyuan, as long as you are willing to trade, I can go to Tongzhu County to trade with you. It's all up to us. I'm not at ease with letting you ship it. You should know very well that it is not a problem to ship such a thing. I really can't do it, I use the military's car. As long as things arrive in the imperial capital, I can make them up as much as I want. Zhang Tianyuan said in a disgusted tone: "You want to help me transport the goods." It's not qualified enough, as long as nothing happens to your side, nothing happens to my side. But I've heard that a few of your brothers seem to have been arrested for selling bronzes privately, and this kind of person should be kicked out as soon as possible, otherwise it will be bad. ”

not only kicked the responsibility on his body clean, but also pushed the responsibility on the other party, Zhang Tianyuan's method is also a scoundrel.

Then, there was a silent wait.

Zhang Tianyuan knew that Mo Xie was thinking about it. It may even be discussing with someone else.

"Boss Zhang, I'll call you later. Perhaps because he was afraid that Zhang Tianyuan would hear the words discussed, Mo Xie said something and hung up his phone.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Zhang Tianyuan had already driven back to his home before Mo Ye's call came.

However, Zhang Tianyuan didn't answer this phone in a hurry, you can't hang up the phone if you want to, you let me answer the phone, I'll answer the phone.

He's not tsundere. Instead, he deliberately wanted to take Mo Ye and let Mo Ye know that he was not in a hurry in this matter.

The phone rang for a full minute, then hung up.

Then waited until Zhang Tianyuan came out of a shower, and the phone rang again. It was twenty minutes later.

"Boss Zhang is angry?"

"Angry? No, I just got home and took a shower, and I couldn't answer the phone. Zhang Tianyuan said lightly.

"Okay. Boss Zhang. I've figured it out and I'm ready to make this deal with you. My stuff is definitely a good thing, you can find a time to come to Tongzhu County to have a look. Mo Ye said.

Mo Xie discussed it with his own people. Tongzhu County can be said to be their own territory, as long as Zhang Tianyuan arrives there, then they have the final say, and even if Zhang Tianyuan really has to cooperate with the police, they can easily handle it.

It is precisely because of this that he dared to make this decision finally.

"Oh, what's there, let me hear it. Zhang Tianyuan said lightly.

"Boss Zhang will definitely be interested. ”

"Oh, what's it, tell me about it. Zhang Tianyuan felt that Mo Ye should not be untargeted.

"Boss Zhang should have heard of the legend of Jiuding, right?" Mo Xie just refused to finish his words at once, and had to say it little by little, just to arouse Zhang Tianyuan's interest.

"Jiuding, when is Jiuding?" Zhang Tianyuan naturally couldn't have known Jiuding.

"Historical Records: Feng Zen Book": "Yu collects the gold of Jiumu and casts Jiuding." All taste the gods and ghosts. It was sage, and Ding moved to Xia Shang. Zhou De declined, Song Zhishe died, Ding Nai fell, and he was gone. ”

According to legend, in the early years of the Xia Dynasty, King Dayu of Xia divided the world into Kyushu, so that the state of Kyushu contributed bronze, cast Jiuding, symbolizing Kyushu, and engraved the famous mountains and rivers of Kyushu in the country and strange things in the body of Jiuding, symbolizing a state with a tripod, and concentrating Jiuding in the capital of the Xia Dynasty.

Kyushu became synonymous with China and a symbol of the supremacy of royal power and the unity and prosperity of the country. The Xia Dynasty, the Shang Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty were regarded as the heirlooms symbolizing the state power. During the Warring States Period, Qin and Chu both had the matter of raising divisions to seek the crown in Luoyi, the city of the king of Zhou. When Zhou Xian was king, Jiuding was not under the city of Pengcheng in Surabaya. Later emperors attached great importance to the symbolism and significance of Jiuding's power, and also repeatedly recast Jiuding, Wu Zetian and Song Huizong also cast Jiuding.

The reason why he asked when the Jiuding was is to know whether the Jiuding was recast in later generations, or the Jiuding of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, if it is that, it is too good, but it is estimated that it is not very likely, after all, Dayu Jiuding can only be regarded as a legend now, in fact, there is no evidence to prove that they are zài, and I don't even know what the style of this Jiuding is.

So much so that some experts even say that Jiuding is not actually nine big tripods, but a tripod, and its name is Kyushu Ding.

"To be honest, I don't know when, but this thing was obtained in Shaanzhou, and it was obtained from the tomb of the Tang Dynasty, so it is estimated that it may be the Jiuding of the Tang Dynasty. Mo Xie thought for a while.

Hearing this, Zhang Tianyuan was naturally a little disappointed, after all, the Jiuding of the Tang Dynasty was not comparable with that of the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

But after disappointment, there is contentment.

To be precise, the Jiuding of the Tang Dynasty should be regarded as the Jiuding of Wu Zhou, which was cast by Wu Zetian.

After Wu Zetian ascended the throne, the empress wanted to use the ideas of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism to consolidate her position. Making ceremonies and making music has always been the ability of the emperor. Wu Zetian enjoys the Ming Hall, places the Seven Treasures, seals the Shenyue, makes great music, and casts the Nine Dings. Jiuding is a national treasure that symbolizes state power in ancient times. Legend has it that Yu cast nine tripods, like Kyushu. Wu Zetian knew that Jiuding was difficult to find, so he recast it.

In April of the first year of Shengong, Dingcheng was placed in the Mingtang of Luoyang, and the Shendu was named Yongchang, with a height of one zhang and eight feet, and a capacity of 1,800 stones. Jizhou Dingming Wuxing, Yongzhou Dingming Chang An, Yanzhou Dingming Riguan, Qingzhou Dingming Shaoyang, Xu Zhou Dingming Dongyuan, Yangzhou Dingming Jiang Du, Jingzhou Dingming Jiang Ling, Liang Zhou Dingmingcheng, all one zhang four feet high, 1,200 stones, each map of mountains and rivers on it, sharing more than 560,000 catties of copper.

For example, "Zizhi Tongjian" quotes: "The first year of the Tianshun Holy Empress's divine skills...... In summer, in April, the nine tripods were cast and relocated to the Tongtian Palace. Yuzhou Ding is eight feet high and receives 1,800 stones; Yuzhou is four feet high and receives 1,200 stones; each map of mountains and rivers is produced on it, and more than 56,700 catties of copper are shared. The Queen Mother wanted to paint it with a thousand taels of gold, Yao Tao said: "The Jiuding artifact is more expensive than the natural nature. And the ministers look at its five colors and are mixed, and they don't wait for the gold to show off. 'The Queen Mother followed. Dragged in from the Xuanwu Gate, the prime minister, the kings and the kings were marshal, and more than 100,000 guards from the north and south of the country were dragged together. ”

If the historical records are accurate, Jiuding shares 560,000 catties of copper, so wouldn't each have more than 60,000 catties on average?

You must know that the largest tripod known in China is Simu Wu Dafang Ding, which is only more than 800 kilograms.

Simu Wuding is a rare bronze valuable cultural relic in the world, and it is the largest and heaviest of all the tripods unearthed so far. The weight of the tripod is 832.84 kilograms, and the tripod is so big that it can be used as a manger, so people call it "manger ding" again.

The key is that this Simu Wu Dafang Ding is still an alloy, not a simple bronze casting.

The results show that the alloy composition of Dading is: copper accounts for 84.77%, tin accounts for 11.64%, and lead accounts for 2.79%, which is basically consistent with the record of "six points of gold and one of tin" in the "Zhou Li. Examination of the Gong Ji".

In this case, it is estimated that Wu Zetian's Jiuding should also be alloyed, and the weight of one will definitely not be less than 70,000 catties.

This is a bit unlikely, after all, the Century Baoding cast with modern technology is only 1.5 tons, that is to say, about 1,500 kilograms, which is too far away.

Therefore, Zhang Tianyuan estimated that there may be discrepancies in this historical record, or although it is true that 560,000 catties of bronze were used, in fact, most of them were wasted, and only some of them were really used to cast the tripod, so it was reasonable.

Thinking of this, he asked: "Mo Xie, you said that this tripod is the nine tripods recast in the Wuzhou period, I believe it for the time being, so have you weighed the largest one among the nine tripods?"

"Weighed, a full 1,800 kilograms! Much heavier than that Simu Wu Dafang Ding, and much larger. It is heavier than the Century Treasure that our country gave to the United Nations. I have weighed the other eight, all of them are 1,200 kilograms, and each of them is heavier than Simu Wu Dafangding. I sue you for this, just to say, these things are definitely rare treasures, but they are also more troublesome to trade, so I want you to give a price first, and then we will talk about the transaction, after all, the risk is too great, I dare not take risks. ”

A 1,800-kilogram tripod?

This is too fake, if it is true, this time I am afraid that it will really shock the entire archaeological community, it is estimated that Zhang Tianyuan's museum will not be obtained, and the government will definitely work hard to promote the inclusion of the Imperial Palace Museum.

It's really unwilling.

But think about it carefully, if you can't get this Jiuding, then the government should give him some more bronzes according to the agreement, so he shouldn't suffer in the end, but this matter, I always feel a little depressed. (To be continued......)
