There are a lot of shops here, but most of them are closed, and the people are not easy to deceive these days, and the business is much worse. Just like a few years ago, walnuts were so hot, and a pair of walnuts could be sold for tens of thousands of dollars at every turn, and now no one asks the price outside. The market is not right, the hype has passed, and the big bosses have made enough money and immediately stopped it, leaving some vendors to cry without tears.

It is estimated that in the past few years, the antique market was divided into several people, which diverted the crowd, and there were fewer people watching, and there were fewer sellers. Ji Kai didn't have the idea of entering the store to watch, he didn't dare to enter, so he slowly lingered around the stall outside the store.

While passing by a stall with old books, sculptures, and other miscellaneous things, Ji Kai stopped to see what books were there, and to see if there was any catch.

"Brother, just look at it, just tell me what you want!" The vendor was a middle-aged man in his early forties, short and thin, with short and flat hair, and a pair of eyes that were squinted, and he couldn't see through whether he was shrewd, but none of these antique sellers were probably fuel-efficient lamps.

"Hmm." Ji Kai nodded, picked up an old book in front of him, which said "Zhuge Qimen Dunjia Technique", turned the pages, the paper was yellow and thin, and there seemed to be an inner layer, which explained some things about how Zhuge Liang was in the beginning, and then said how to get Qimen Dunjia, Ji Kai estimated that these contents were pieced together from the Internet Qiandu, and the paper was old.

I used to buy similar books in a small market in Northeast China when I was in college, and when I opened it, it was mixed with some torn paper and had no value at all. Put down this "Zhuge Qimen Dunjia Technique", and then look at other old books, it seems that it is no different from this one, it is estimated that it was made in one way, and Ji Kai has no interest in old books.

Moving his feet to some coins and sculptures, and was about to squat down to take a look, the middle-aged man saw that he had no business anyway, so he stepped forward and introduced:

"Brother, look at these, they were fished up from the river on the other side of Pengshan. Brother, you wear glasses, you look like a literate person, you see, these are all thrown down by Zhang Xianzhong when he sank the ship, no one dares to hide those gold and silver, these little things are picked up by the local people, absolutely orthodox. “

"Damn! Can you speak? If you can't speak, don't speak! Wearing glasses is a cultural person? Don't think I don't know" shell lang wears glasses - pretending to be a geographer. Ji Kai said indignantly in his heart, but he didn't refute it out loud, there was no need to be like him, and instead remembered the legend of Zhang Xianzhong.

Speaking of Zhang Xianzhong's shipwreck, there are too many legends, it is estimated that as long as you are engaged in antiques in Rongcheng, you almost have to get a history of your antiques, Zhang Xianzhong's shipwreck, Zhang Xianzhong's treasure or something, otherwise they are embarrassed to introduce their treasures.

"Stone dragon to stone tiger,

Ten thousand gold and silver,

Who knows how to see through,

Buy Rongcheng Mansion. ”

The legend of Zhang Xianzhong's thousands of ships sinking silver has always been talked about, and this nursery rhyme that has been circulating in Pengshan Jiangkou Town for hundreds of years has also become the "silver hunting" for countless people to pursue Zhang Xianzhong's treasures.

In the historical materials written by the Ming and Qing dynasties, there is indeed a record of Zhang Xianzhong's thousands of ships sinking silver. Yu Zhongliang, the commander of Jianchang Wei of the Southern Ming Dynasty, said in his book "The Thief Zhang Xianzhong's Misfortune of Shu": "On September 16, the second year of Longwu, Cao Xun, the deputy commander-in-chief, led the construction of the southern army to Keqiongzhou, and lived in Rongcheng for only two days. Offering loyalty to leave Rongcheng, he led more than 100,000 men and women in the thief camp to sail thousands of boats down the Minjiang River. Governor Yang Zhan raised troops to counterattack it, fought at the mouth of the Pengshan River, and sent small boats to carry firearms to attack the thief's boat. The thief boat is linked to each other, gathering can not retreat, the wind is fierce, and the momentum is like a prairie fire. The officers and men fired guns and crossbows in all directions, the thieves burned many boats, and the looted gold, jade, jewelry, and silver sheaths were tens of millions, all of which sank to the bottom of the river. The group of thieves landed and walked ashore, and they ran to northern Shu, and Yang Zhan led his troops to chase them. Offering loyalty is considering that there are many families in each battalion, and they cannot rush to go, which have been looted over the years, but they gathered all the thieves to discuss together, and ordered the women to be killed, and the loyalty also killed hundreds of their concubines, and hundreds of thousands of dead. The dedication is still unfinished, and the fear of Shu soldiers is rebelling, and the line is in the Qingjie realm. Da Yue, kill all the Shu soldiers, and leave no pawn. There is only a battalion of the governor Liu Duzhong, who has escaped from northern Shu for a long time, and surrendered to Qin and captivity. ”

"Shu Bi" recorded: "(Zhang) Xianzhong heard that (Yang) Zhan's troops were very strong, and he was terrified, leading 10 tens of thousands of troops, loading thousands of gold treasures, and going east downstream, and fighting a decisive battle with Zhan. According to legend, in 1646, the Qing army entered Shu, and Zhang Xianzhong led his troops to break through to the west of Shu with thousands of ships of gold and silver treasures that had been looted over the years. However, on the way to transfer, he encountered the landlord's armed Yang Zhan, Zhang Xianzhong's treasure transport fleet was defeated, and thousands of ships of gold and silver sank to the bottom of the river.

There are more detailed records of Shen Yin in the "Documentary of the Disaster of Shu": "When Zhang Xianzhong's troops came out of Shu by water, because there were too many silver taels, the wooden boat could not carry it, so Zhang Xianzhong ordered the craftsmen to make a lot of wooden troughs, put the silver ingots in it, and let it drift down, intending to salvage it again in the narrow section of the river." But then the troops were blocked, and the river boats blocked the river channel, so most of the silver taels sank into the river. ”

How much Zhang Xianzhong's Shen Yin is in the waters of Pengshan Jiangkou Town, "Shu Disaster Documentary" records: "Hundreds of millions, carrying hundreds of ships".

"I won't even find an excuse, Zhang Xianzhong's thousands of ships sink silver, do you have nothing to do and still load copper coins? Especially these wooden sculptures, after a long time of blistering, they have long since decayed, how can there still be left, and they still look like they have been soaked in water at all? Although Ji Kai was also a little looking forward to it, he was still a little discouraged when he saw these copper coins that were put together haphazardly, and sure enough, this antique is not something that otaku can play.

"I said, brother, you see, this bronze coin of the West King has very few surviving coins, basically all of them are in museums, and very few have been circulated. It's not open today, if you want to get it, give 20,000 yuan and take it. "The vendor highly recommends a copper coin in his hand.

"Twenty thousand? I said boss, Xiwang rewarded copper coins are scarce, and the current market price is about 500,000 to 600,000. If this is true, you might as well send it to the auction house for auction as soon as possible! And I can't afford to buy such an expensive baby. Ji Kai couldn't help but laugh when he heard the vendor say this.

If you still want to lie to me, will I tell you that I checked all the information about Zhang Xianzhong's treasure last night?

"Ouch, my brother is still an expert! It's not that I can't see accurately, I'm afraid of being fooled by the auction house! Then you look at this Dashun Tongbao, the handwriting is clear, the patina is full, you are an expert, I won't hide it from you, as long as 2000 yuan, what's the matter? The vendor's face did not change, and he was cheeky and picked up another copper coin and introduced.

Dashun Tongbao has a lot of treasures in the world, but I don't know the specific price, besides, I'm here to pick up the leaks, why buy this thing? You can't eat or drink, it's useless to come!

"Hehe, boss, I'm not interested in copper coins."

"It's okay, the copper coin is not interested, you can take a look at the others, I have a lot of treasures, you can choose whatever you want." Seeing that the season was not fooled, the vendor felt that it might be no fun, and he didn't want to bother talking, so he sat back down, took out a crumpled cigarette and lit it and smoked.
