Chapter 391: Great Qi Tongbao (I)

Since meeting Chu Lao, Fang You has been receiving new antique knowledge every day, Chu Lao's personal teaching, and his self-study in books, all of which have made him more and more knowledgeable in antiques.

Fang You also cherished this hard-won opportunity, even if he went to Pingzhou last time, he also carried with him a few books given to him by Chu Lao, these books were not given by Chu Lao casually, Bai was systematically verified, and he could only study books after he had reached a certain stage of study.

During the Warring States Period, different coins were used in various countries, such as the Chang Liao knife coins, shovel coins, etc., unearthed in the tombs of the Warring States Period, and after the Qin Dynasty unified the six countries, the currency was unified, with gold as the upper currency, and the round square hole copper coin as the lower coin, so far, the copper coin has been used by the Chinese dynasties for more than 2,000 years.

The copper coin is round on the outside and square on the inside, which copes with the legend that the ancient people think that the sky is round and the place is round, so the copper coin comes from this, and it is also nicknamed Brother Kong Fang.

Fang You gradually followed Ye Yuqing, but he looked at a few copper coins over and over again, and if such a powerful aura could gush out, then the age of this copper coin was definitely extraordinary.

Some of these copper coins look very new, some of them are engraved with Qianlong Tongbao, and some are engraved with Kangxi Tongbao, even if Fang You doesn't have to watch it, he knows that these copper coins are newly baked, and a commodity that is not worth three yuan.

Suddenly, Fang You's eyes fell on one of the copper coins, which were hidden on the back of the bow under the purse, looking looming, as if the person making the purse was afraid that others would see it.

However, this looming appearance, with the purse pendant, makes people feel a little different beauty, Fang You immediately picked up the pendant, with some copper embroidery on it Brother Kong Fang came into view, and immediately made him shake his head and smile, no wonder it will be hidden behind the bow, just the appearance of this copper coin, it was seen by others, I am afraid that this purse will not be sold.

Fang You picked up the bow under the purse, looked at it carefully, there was patina, which proved that this copper coin was very old, and he was very clear about this, antiques, not by appearance, how many valuable objects, their appearance is tattered.

Just like the fragments of Ru kiln he found in the antique shop of Li Biao of Liuzhou Iron Rooster, they were put together on top of the flower pot, which looked very ugly, but this piece of fragment that others didn't care about was worth 200,000 yuan, and Fang You bought it for only 300, but this big pot was placed in the antique shop for a long time and no one cared about it, which shows how important it is to sell compared to ordinary antique players.

Fang You smiled helplessly, even if it was himself, he couldn't get rid of this habit, when he first saw this copper coin, he did have a miserable reaction, if he hadn't discovered the difference of this purse with his escape technique, I am afraid that he would have swept this copper coin at a glance, without him, it was just the perfect psychology in his heart that was causing trouble.

Take a closer look, this copper coin is not very tattered, the whole is still very complete, but there is some patina on it, when he used to collect copper coins in Liuzhou dry express, there are countless copper coins with missing arms and legs.

It's just that he only picked out some complete copper coins at that time, and paid the price of hundreds of oceans for them, and now in retrospect, those Qianlong Tongbao were just a few dollars a piece.

The front was clinging to the bow, and all he could see now was the back without any words, and then, Fang You took the bow in front of his eyes and looked at the words on the copper coin through the gap.

The rest of the copper coins full of ornaments are just decorations cast with modern technology, but this copper coin has the appearance of an old object.

He launched the escape technique, glanced at this copper coin a few times, and unexpectedly a huge aura appeared in his body, which can already prove that this copper coin is the source of aura.

Proving this, Fang You looked at this copper coin carefully through the gap, and the first thing he saw was a general character, and the words on this copper coin were much clearer than some copper coins he had seen, and he could see at a glance what kind of character it was.

This Tongzi stroke looks long horizontally, and the straight stroke is very short, and the whole is rectangular, but it is a common official script in ancient times, which is one of the most solemn fonts in ancient times.

The copper coins minted from the Tang Dynasty are basically named after Tongbao, and the name of the emperor in the casting period is added in front.

Aiming his gaze upward, Fang You saw a looming big character, he was a little dazed in his heart, since he studied antiques, he was very familiar with the era names of the ancient emperors, but he had never heard of the emperor's year names that began with a big one.

Maybe it may be cast by some not famous dynasties, Fang You thought in his heart, with the aura, it can already prove that it is an old object, as for the real age, you have to wait until you finish reading the four-character official book of the copper coin, if you can't think of it at that time, you can only launch the retreat technique to watch the color of the aura, or find Chu Lao.

"Little wanderer, what are you thinking about in the back, so engrossed." Ye Yuqing saw Fang You's grinding, and looked behind her with some displeasure, only to see that this kid was holding the purse he had given and watching it seriously, which made her feel completely unhappy, and asked with a smile.

Fang You smiled lightly, and when he was about to speak, his eyes froze on the text below the big characters, he just felt puzzled when he saw the big characters, but the not surprising Lishu characters below made him a little dumbfounded, and his face was full of incredulity.

He originally thought that this might be an ordinary old object, but it was just a long time, but this word made him fall into shock, this copper coin, not only is it not ordinary, it can be said that it is precious and valuable.

This character is a Lishu traditional Qi character, and the words on the entire copper coin are connected, which is the Great Qi Tongbao, and it is this Qi character that makes Fang You's heart continue to surge huge waves.

In the books related to copper coins given by Chu Lao, in addition to the history of the development of coins in various generations, the focus is on the fifty treasures of ancient Chinese coins.

These fifty ancient coins can be said to be extremely rare and very precious, and some even the whole country cannot find a complete coin, so they can only talk about masturbation with mutilated things.

And the Great Qi Tongbao, it is in these fifty treasures are also more rare existence, the whole country only survives two pieces, and these two copper coins are incomplete, one is missing a corner in the upper right, is called the missing corner of the big Qi by the antique numismatic world, the other is the ancient spring expert Dai Baoting and another person in a rural child kicked the shuttlecock found, the ancient spring in the ancient spring scientist meaning is the ancient money, because the ancient pronunciation of money and the spring communication, but also because the currency is like a spring like the circulation of endless, so the modern ancient numismatician, also called others called the ancient spring expert.

The Great Qi Tongbao found by the two of them, although there is no lack of horns, but because it is used by children to make shuttlecocks, four small holes have been drilled on it, which is called the four-eyed Great Qi.

Later, this four-eyed Daqi was collected by a famous collector and hidden in the secret room, never showing, which shows the preciousness of the Daqi Tongbao.

"Little wanderer, little wanderer......" Ye Yuqing called Fang You softly a few times, but found that Fang You seemed to be stupid, looking at her purse blankly, her heart was suddenly full of doubts, and slowly walked towards Fang You.

Seeing this at this moment, Xiao Yiyi also had an opinion, pouted and ran to Fang You's side, tugged at his clothes, and said dissatisfiedly: "Uncle Villain, wake up, you can fall asleep no matter how you walk." ”

Fang You woke up from the shock at this time, and looked at this copper coin with a little excitement and a little happiness in his heart.

"Xiao Yiyi, I didn't fall asleep, didn't you see that my eyes were open." Fang You looked at Xiao Yiyi's dissatisfied expression, and immediately smiled and pinched her face.

"Didn't fall asleep, so why didn't you ignore us." Xiao Yiyi didn't plan to let Fang You go so easily.

Fang You smiled lightly and shook his purse, "Because I found a good thing." ”

"I'm not going to be fooled by you." Xiao Yiyi pouted and twisted her face.

Ye Yuqing was a little worried, and asked softly: "Little wanderer, what happened just now, why did a purse make you so fascinated." ”

"Hehe, Yuqing, it's not the purse that fascinates me, but the jewelry on this purse, come, look at this copper coin, what words are written on it." Fang You smiled and pointed to the copper coin on the bow on the purse and said.

"Great Qi Tongbao, I remember that the currency of Qi seems to be a knife coin, and the copper coin was not issued after the Qin Dynasty unified the six countries, is this fake?" Ye Yuqing effortlessly saw the font on it, and then said with a frown.

Fang You smiled lightly and shook his head, "Yuqing, it seems that you don't know much about copper coins, what appears on copper coins can only be the year name, not the name of the country." ”

"Daqi is the name of a country, this country was established in the late Tang and early Song dynasties, the Tang and Song dynasties, the Yuan and Ming dynasties, these can be said to be very familiar to the Chinese, but some people do not know that during this period it was extremely chaotic, warlords divided their territories, and built countries everywhere, which was called five generations and ten kingdoms by later generations."

"The Great Qi Tongbao was cast by Li Sheng, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, because Li Sheng's adoptive father Xu Wen was the commander of the late Tang Dynasty vassal king Wu Wang, and launched a coup d'Γ©tat to assist Yang Long, the second son of King Wu, to ascend the throne of Wu, and was named King of Qi after his death, so after Li Sheng abolished Yang Pu, the contemporary emperor of Southern Wu, and obtained the power of Southern Wu, the name of the country was changed to Southern Tang, and the country name was Daqi."

Fang You smiled, "This is the origin of the Great Qi on the copper coin. If it weren't for the fact that it happened to be just over fifty treasures of ancient Chinese coins, I am afraid that even if it was a great Qi Tongbao placed directly in front of him, he would directly ignore it and treat it as an ordinary copper coin, which was exactly the happiness in Fang You's heart just now.

"Little wanderer, is this thing very precious?" Ye Yuqing asked softly, from the fact that Fang You was standing still because of this copper coin just now, but how did she see that this copper coin was no different from ordinary copper coins.
