Chapter 331: The Minthouse
After Fang Yong came to Jiang Shuyi's house, the two counted the classmates who could come in time. It may be that during the summer vacation, the students have their own reasons, and there are only seven who can come, and Fang Yong has to be counted in this.
Originally, Fang Yong wanted to borrow a bus from Zhuang Xian's company to go together, but he didn't expect that only so many classmates could come. After learning the news that Cheng Jiahe had driven from home, Fang Yong changed his mind. Since there are only a few people, it is better to drive there by yourself.
After planning the itinerary, Fang Yong left Jiang Shuyi's house, found a place where no one was around, and used his ability to fly in the air, rushing towards the place where the leaders of the troops who had led the wind team in ambush and hid their illegal gains.
After the failure of the Wind Squad in his previous life, Fang Yong remembered a series of situations that had been investigated. This time, it is also a familiar way to go through their old accounts, and with the assistance of consciousness detection, after a busy day, Fang Yong finally got the evidence of their violations of law and discipline.
Taking advantage of the vast night, Fang Yong put these evidences on the desks of the discipline inspection and several leaders.
The next morning, when these leaders opened their offices, they all found evidence of those people's violations of law and discipline, although they were puzzled, they didn't know who had such a great ability, and put these things in front of them without knowing it, but judging from the numbers and information in these evidences, this was not a joke.
So these leaders ordered people to follow the evidence provided by Fang Yong and lined up one after another, and it wouldn't be long before those leaders of the troops would be brought to justice and pay the price for what they had done.
At this time, Fang Yong didn't think about this matter at all, with so much evidence, I believe that those corrupt elements will definitely not be able to escape. He is now driving a car with his classmates talking and laughing towards Mongolia.
The location where the minting workshop was discovered this time was near Wuchuan County, which was not far from Hoh, and the whole process took six or seven hours, and when Fang Yong and the others arrived in Wuchuan County, it was just lunchtime.
Jiang Shuyi is the leader of Fang Yong's class. It was decided that after the students had lunch in Wuchuan County, they would rush to the location where the mint workshop was discovered.
When he saw the head of the department Wang Yao again, his face was full of excitement. Originally, they thought that there was only one minting workshop, but after many investigations, they found three more minting kiln sites, and also found pottery, bronze, iron, stone, and a large amount of copper and iron slag.
When he saw his classmates arrive, Wang Yao touched his beard and told everyone the exciting good news. The students were also very happy to hear this, and followed Wang Yaochao to the minting workshop.
When he came to the vicinity of the minting workshop, Fang Yong saw that canvas tents had already been set up near the workshop and the police had set up a cordon. Police officers patrolled all around, showing how valuable the items found were this time.
Following Wang Yao to one of the tents, Fang Yong saw three middle-aged men and women looking at several pottery artifacts with magnifying glasses. When the three of them saw someone coming, they all raised their heads and looked at Fang Yong.
Hehe, I didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here. One of these three people was actually Zhang Shi, a student of Kang Lao, and Fang Yong and he met him at Kang Lao's birthday banquet.
So Fang Yong greeted him: "Brother Zhang Shi, hello!"
Maybe Zhang Shi had focused all his attention on the pottery he was holding just now, and there were many people coming, so Zhang Shi didn't notice Fang Yong.
After seeing Fang Yong. Zhang Shi was very happy to put down the pottery in his hand gently, and walked over to greet Fang Yong: "Xiao Yong, I didn't expect you to come too!" ”
At this time, Wang Yao, the head of the department, introduced to everyone: "Come students. Let me introduce to you, these three are experts in the archaeological identification of ancient coins, this is Zhang Shi, an archaeologist. Expert and professor of ancient numismatic identification in the Palace Museum. This is Lu Yanqiu, deputy director of the archaeological department of the Mongolian Provincial History Museum and an expert in ancient numismatic identification. This is Peng Huiyang. He is a member of the Expert Committee of the National Cultural Heritage Society, and the deputy director of the Advisory and Appraisal Committee of the Mongolian Collectors Association. ”
The students came forward to greet the three experts. The three experts knew that Fang Yong and they were all archaeology students at Capital University, and they did not slack off, and they returned the gifts to the students very enthusiastically.
"Xiao Yong, come and see what this is!" Zhang Shi pointed to the pottery he had just put down and said to Fang Yong.
Fang Yong walked over and looked in the direction that Zhang Shi's right finger was pointing.
Wow! This is Qian Fan! And it is also a very complete money model (the mold at the time of coinage), not to mention the money model with the exact date. You must know that under normal circumstances, in order to prevent someone from taking out the money fan to mint counterfeit money, after the coin is minted, the money fan must be destroyed, which is often called "destroying the version." This shows how precious this money is.
Fang Yong gently picked up this Qian Fan, and the exact year was engraved on it, "May of the first year of the founding of the country", Fang Yong's mind instantly remembered, this "founding of the country" is not Wang Mang's year name, that is, the ninth year of AD.
Fang Yong was a little excited in his heart and said: "Brother Zhang Shi, this is a great discovery in the archaeological history of my country!" ”
"But it's not, just in the past few days of excavation, we have found coins minted from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to Wang Mang, including the Western Han Dynasty "half tael", "five baht" copper coins and "Daquan fifty", "Xiaoquan Zhiyi" money fan, as well as "goods spring", "goods cloth", "cloth springs", "five baht" and other hundreds of copper coins" Zhang Shi also said excitedly.
At this time, Wang Yao said to the students: "Professor Zhang is right, from the current point of view, this coinage workshop should be a coinage workshop integrating refining, minting, and storage, and it is estimated that it should have been planned and built in a unified manner at that time. And this mint workshop is so well preserved that it is the first time it has been discovered in China. ”
After visiting the coins and coins that had been excavated, Fang Yong followed Wang Yao towards the site of the coinage kiln.
At the site, a staff member has already drawn a floor plan of the kiln site. On the map, Fang Yong saw that there were fire chambers, fire passages, kiln doors, drainage ditches, etc. in the kiln site, and the various processes inside the kiln site were distributed in an orderly manner. In addition, a site for making and drying billets was also found near the kiln site.
Looking at these processes, if it were not for the influence of modern industrialization, it would be hard to believe that these one-stop processes were in ancient times two thousand years ago. It can also be seen that Wang Mang's monetary reform was a special period in the history of the development of ancient Chinese coins.
Although Wang Mang's coin reform failed because of the chaos caused by the multiplicity and complexity, it has always been favored by collectors for generations because of its unique coinage shape and excellent system.
I wonder if there is a well-known "golden knife" in this mint workshop and coin vault. Fang Yong has been thinking about collecting this kind of coin for a long time, but he has never had fate, I hope he can find it this time! (To be continued......)
