Chapter 1821: Lionheart's Currency

Even if Zhang Tianyuan did not participate in the appraisal, the expert team composed of Dong Xueshu, Li Shuheng, Wang Zhengjun, Ma Pingdu and others, plus some experts who volunteered to help, was enough to make those 500 people satisfied.

The HRE Museum drove into a car, a sealed business vehicle, and the inside was completely invisible from the outside.

The car drove straight into the new sorting area of the HRE Museum, where only three people were sitting.

One is Zhang Tianyuan, one is He Chong, and the other is Dou Xiaoling.

"Remember what I said on national television?"

The so-called sorting place, is not like the courier company like the sorting place, this place is still relatively good environment, three people are drinking coffee, chatting, after all, here sorting things, each piece may be priceless, how can those express delivery compare.

Zhang Tianyuan took a sip of coffee and suddenly asked, at this time, the business car had stopped, and it was Zhanfei who walked out of the car.

The things were taken down, and they were all sealed and boxed, and it was impossible to see inside unless there was a pair of clairing eyes.

"Remember, you said you were going to reveal a few rare treasures. He Chong nodded and said, "But Brother Zhang, before you talk about that topic, I'll give you a report on the situation." Tie Zhongtang and they brought the nest of the Heaven Stealing Organization in the imperial capital, and got some things, but they were all fakes, but the level of imitation was very high, Wang Lao said, that level, I am afraid that it is similar to the King of Concealment, and he even suspects that the King of Concealment and the Organization of Stealing Heaven have some kind of special connection......

Zhang Tianyuan asked, "What about the Jumei Museum?"

"The Jumei Museum has been closed down because the museum has a very serious problem of trading power for money. A lot of the stuff inside is fake, too. Many of the documents were even forged by someone and were not genuine at all. He Chong replied.

Zhang Tianyuan heard this. Suddenly showed a faint smile, this is fine. This shows that his hard work has not been in vain.

The reason why he fought with Nishiki Shoji was not to expose Nishiki Shoyoshi, but to have his own little ninety-nine, so that of course he could make his museum rise again.

Now that the Jumei Museum has fallen, for him, nature is a harvest, and it is a great thing.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tianyuan smiled and said, "You have brought me great things, and I have also brought you great things." ”

After speaking. He took a prismatic diamond from the cardboard box and carefully placed it on the table.

The prismatic diamond is about 30 carats, which is obviously polished, the shape is very standard and beautiful, and the color is emerald green, which is very attractive.

He Chong and Dou Xiaoling took a closer look at this diamond, and then He Chong couldn't help but say, "You bought this diamond from South Africa?"

"You'd better take a closer look, this is no ordinary diamond. Zhang Tianyuan did not answer He Chong's question, but reminded him.

In fact, his reminder was to tell He Chong that his judgment was wrong.

"Hmm, there seems to be something on this?" Dou Xiaoling used to be a host. These eyes are really good at spotting something new, and this time she really let her see it.

He Chong asked eagerly, "What is it?"

Dou Xiaoling pointed to him, and he finally saw clearly that the prismatic diamond had been carved with exquisite graphics. It was a majestic lion with a strange head at its feet.

Around the lion, there is a strange pattern like a rose.

Although said. Scribbling on a diamond is really a disservice to the diamond. will reduce its value, but if the carving is really beautiful, it is very good. In addition, if the diamond itself has a special meaning, then it is two words.

He Chong and Dou Xiaoling did not dare to express their opinions in a hurry this time, but checked them several times, because the texture of this diamond is not particularly outstanding, but this process is breathtaking.

You know, Dou Xiaoling is a woman, and her love for diamonds is much stronger than that of many men, especially when she is still a rich woman, and she also buys diamond jewelry on weekdays, even if she doesn't understand it, but because she is often exposed to it, whether this thing is good or not, as long as you look at it, you will have some feelings.

He Chong has seen a lot of diamonds, and even did a diamond business for his family, although he stopped doing it later, but this kind of cut is absolutely top-notch, and it is also handmade.

Not to mention the excellent cut, the carving on the key is also very rigorous. What he didn't quite understand was who and why he was carving the diamond, which would not normally be done.

After all, it would be better to keep the diamond as much as possible to keep its own characteristics.

He Chong thought for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Zhang, to be honest, I don't understand, this thing is a diamond, but you shouldn't let us see this, what do you want to explain?"

Dou Xiaoling also nodded and said, "Could it be that Brother Zhang, this is the rare treasure in your mouth?"

Zhang Tianyuan smiled, these two people really deserve to be people who often come into contact with diamonds, after his reminder, they quickly saw the difference of this diamond, and also took into account that he had a special purpose.

"It's not a rare treasure. Let me tell you this, there was once a king on this earth called 'Lionheart', and when this man was in power, he created a batch of currencies made of diamonds, which was originally just a record in the wild history, but I'm really sorry, this wild history will soon be turned into real history by me, because this is the kind of diamond currency, also called 'Lionheart', all engraved with the same pattern, and the value is differentiated according to the weight of the diamond. Zhang Tianyuan smiled and said the answer.

In fact, this kind of ancient and special currency is strictly speaking an antique, and it can even be said to be a rare treasure, but there are a few things in the treasures that Zhang Tianyuan got this time Compared with this, it is more qualified as a rare treasure, and the result can only make these diamond currencies aggrieved.

It is actually very simple to determine whether these things are ancient diamonds or not, and you can know it by testing it with carbon fourteen, so Zhang Tianyuan is not worried that someone will find any reason to doubt the authenticity of these diamond coins.

Ambiguous things, he Zhang Tianyuan will not take out easily.

"This ...... It's impossible, isn't it? It's just an old legend, how can it be!"

He Chong and Dou Xiaoling were taken aback, because no matter how precious the diamond was, they also had a lot of it, but the Lionheart King's diamond currency was the first time it appeared in this world, and it was impossible for them to be surprised even if they weren't surprised, so the hands of the two of them left the diamond instantly, as if they were afraid that one would accidentally break the thing.

"It's not that exaggerated, this is a diamond, not to mention your hands, even if you drop it on the ground, it won't break. But if you're really caring for things, wear gloves and play with them. ”

Zhang Tianyuan saw the surprised appearance of the two people, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said.

He Chong took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket, he didn't have this habit before, but since he became the deputy director of the HRE Museum, this glove is standard, after all, many antiques are very expensive, and the sweat secreted on people's hands or some liquid stained with them may cause damage to these antiques, and gloves are generally required.

Dou Xiaoling doesn't have this habit, she has fewer opportunities to deal with antiques, and is mainly responsible for publicity.

Zhang Tianyuan handed the gloves he was carrying to Dou Xiaoling to use.

"Obediently, Brother Zhang, if this is really the diamond currency of King Lionheart, then it is not a little valuable, you still say that this thing is not a rare treasure?"

Richard I, the Lion King, reigned from 1189 to 1199 and was the second king of the Plantagenet dynasty of England. It has the reputation of "the most perfect knight".

The historian Ibn Shaddad said: "This man is like a god." Experienced in many battles, his arrival cast a shadow of fear over many people's hearts. ”

Richard was the ideal king of his time, preoccupied with the Crusades and defending the territories of his ancestors. He had no interest in the administration of government, he was a great warrior, he was the first soldier in battle, and his indifference to his own safety caused him to be wounded and killed in battle, he was a great king and a wise commander.

For a long time, Richard was praised as a "hero" of the Crusaders and a "popular monarch", which is a glorification of the facts. During the eastward invasion, he burned and looted, slaughtering more than 2,000 innocent I~Si~Lan in the city of Acre. He never took charge of national affairs personally, but only regarded it as a source of military spending, and spent a great deal of the wealth that the British people had worked so hard to create in the war. In this sense, his title of "Lionheart" is appropriate.

His fame was great, but his practical impact was nothing more than the war and peace treaty with Saladin, which changed the local political landscape on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean, leaving behind only chivalry and romantic legends. In military affairs, his courage and leadership were recognizable, proving that he was one of the few generals who could organize and coordinate the strength of a multitude of crusaders, and his military performance made him one of the most outstanding military commanders of the Middle Ages.

Of course, Zhang Tianyuan didn't care how many angry things or praiseworthy things King Richard the Lionheart did, he was more concerned that King Richard the Lionheart once discovered a diamond mine during his expedition to the Middle East, and entrusted these diamonds to his craftsmen to make them into a high-end currency that was only used within the royal family at that time - diamond currency.

Although the diamond currency is said to be used in a relatively small circle, its purchasing power is not small at all, and to this day, it can really be said that it is the only substantial existence left by King Richard the Lionheart in this world. (To be continued.) )
