Tang Yu looked at some of the antiques on the stalls, and most of them were counterfeit after a closer look, but only these Qin Ban Liang were genuine.

"I bought this Qin Banliang." The old man smiled and asked to pay. “

"Old man, why don't you sell me half a tael of this money. I love this ancient coin. Tang Yu said with a smile.

"Young man, do you like this ancient coin too?" The old man named Fang Nanshan glanced at Tang Yu, a very young man, he didn't expect to come to the antique market to dig for treasure.

"I'd love if you could cut it." Tang Yu had already smelled the aura contained in Qian Ban Liang, and he had no reason to give up such a cheap and solid thing.

Fang Nanshan said with a smile: "But if my old man likes something to give to others, it will be a little difficult." “

"I really like this Qin Ban Liang, I hope you will always cut your love." Tang Yu said.

"Well, I'll test you, and if you really have some research on this side of the coin, I'll give it to you." Fang Nanshan was a little deliberately embarrassed, Tang Yu said, "Otherwise, this piece of money and half a tael will belong to me, what do you think?" ”

Fang Nanshan didn't know what Tang Yu was doing if he wanted half a tael, but seeing that Tang Yu was so young, he shouldn't know much about ancient coins, so he wanted Tang Yu to retreat.

In terms of collecting antiques, Fang Nanshan is very fond of ancient coins of various dynasties, and there are many coins of dynasties in his home.

"Then the old gentleman will ask the question." Tang Yu nodded and said.

"Young man, are you going to tell me the origin of recruiting Xinbao?" Fang Nanshan asked with a smile on his face.

"Recruit Xinbao?" Tang Yu's mind was running at high speed.

"Can't answer? Then I can't cut my love. Fang Nanshan said.

"No, I just think the old gentleman's topic is a little too simplistic." Tang Yu said unexpectedly, "Zhaona Xinbao is a legendary military coin. The coin was minted in Jiangzhou by Liu Guangshi, a general of the Southern Song Dynasty, the commander of the imperial patrol army and the Jiangdong Xuanfu envoy, in the first year of Shaoxing to the third year of Shaoxing of Gaozong of the Song Dynasty. At that time, the Southern Song Dynasty army and the Jin soldiers fought in the Jiujiang area, and the two sides were in the stage of confrontation across the river. Because Jin Bing has lived in the north for a long time, he is not satisfied with the water and soil in the south, and he has been homesick for a long time away from his hometown, and he has no heart to fight. In order to disintegrate the enemy army, Liu Guangshi personally planned to mint the "Zhaona Xinbao" coin for rebellion. Whenever the Jin soldiers were captured, Liu Guangshi treated them politely, persuaded them to leave the gold camp, disarm them and return to their hometowns, gave them foot travel expenses, and set up a banquet to send them off. And according to its rank, it will be given gold, silver, and copper cast "Zhaona Xinbao" as an outbound token. All the golden soldiers who crossed the river with this coin will enjoy friendly treatment, will not be hindered, and will be allowed to pass safely. This method really worked, and the soldiers who left the Jin camp were endless, disintegrating tens of thousands of Jin soldiers, and finally forcing Wan Yanchang to withdraw and win. After Tang Yu finished talking about the background of recruiting Xinbao, he stretched out his hand.

"Detailed, lad." Fang Nanshan was a little surprised when he saw Tang Yu say it, "It seems that you have put some effort into coins." ”

"Of course." Tang Yu said in an extremely conceited tone.

"Why don't I test you again?" Fang Nanshan has seen many young and talented people for most of his life, but few of them are accomplished in antiques, so he has love and curiosity, "If you can answer, I will give you an ancient coin." ”

"Okay." Tang Yu said confidently. This old man seems to have a lot of antiques at home, don't don't want it in vain, anyway, if you can't answer, there is nothing to lose.

"Do you know that the Tao is flat for five thousand, right?" Fang Nanshan said. If you are not proficient in coins, there are really few people who know about the Tao of Dao.

If this young man could really answer again, Fang Nanshan would really be interested in accepting him as his apprentice.

"A knife flat five thousand mostly for the knife coin, divided into two parts of the ring handle and the knife body, the ring handle is a hole round money, the ring text is said to be "one", the next is said to be "knife", the word is engraved in the shade, the word is filled with gold, and it is polished, so that the word and the money face are level. The knife body is cast with the three characters of "Ping 5,000", of which "Ping" is the meaning of "value", that is, the value of a knife coin is equal to 5,000. The shape of the knife coin has a unique charm, and it is not confined to the shape of the knife coin in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the pointed knife shape system at that time. Ancient and steady, and revealing a beautiful atmosphere. The coin inscription "one knife flat five thousand" five characters write smoothly, vivid, not sluggish, inherited the characteristics of the coin inscription "one-stroke" in the Warring States Period, the new mang coin, the money is slender, the craftsmanship is exquisite, the coin version is more, but the money is generally based on the hanging needle, the style is fine and thick, the thick text is flat, the production is inferior, the fine outline is obliquely sharpened, and the strokes are thin and straight. The deep and simple seal script on the surface of the coin is integrated with the thick and solid body of the coin, and has been praised as "the best money" by collectors of all generations. It was created by the order of Wang Mang's usurpation of power. ”

"Wonderful young man, you really impress me." Fang Nanshan said with some surprise, "In this way, I'll give you half a tael of money and give you another knife coin of five thousand yuan per knife?" ”

"Really?" Tang Yu was also surprised, I didn't expect this old man to be quite generous, this knife is worth about 10,000 yuan at a level of 5,000, which has a certain collection value, but the old man wants to give it to himself, it is very good, generous, this old man is generous.

"Now you can go with me and ask for it." Fang Nanshan said after helping Tang Yu give Qin Banliang the money.

"Sir, then you're welcome." Tang Yu was not polite to the old man, and followed the old man to ask for knife coins.

Fang Nanshan led Tang Yu into Southeast University.

Walking on the campus of the university, Tang Yu saw many students and teachers greeting Fang Nanshan warmly, and it could be seen that he was a very respected teacher on campus.

"Teacher Fang, I went to Taobao Street to dig for treasure again, what good things did I take out this time." A teacher asked.

"Dig this kid." Fang Nanshan smiled and pointed at Tang Yu.

"Huh." The teacher smiled.

Tang Yu walked into Fang Nanshan's office.

"You wait here, I'll go back and ask for it." Fang Nanshan said. The staff dormitory building was not far away, and Fang Nanshan asked Tang Yu to wait for him in the office.

"Teacher Fang, why don't we go back together?" Tang Yu said with a smile, "It just so happens that I also want to drink a glass of boiling water." ”

"The water is here, you drink it yourself." Fang Nanshan said with a smile, "I have a lot of ancient coins in my collection, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for you kid to take a fancy to rob me." ”

Tang Yu said depressedly: "Are you always afraid that I will see money?" ”

"yes, I see ambition in your eyes." Fang Nanshan said in a serious tone, "Wait a while." ”

"That's it." Tang Yu smiled, this old man is really interesting, see ambition in his eyes? He is ambition, what man has no ambition, what is the difference between no ambition and salted fish.

After Fang Nanshan left, Tang Yu poured himself a glass of boiling water, and then flipped through the books on the bookshelf at will. Fang Nanshan's books are full of books about antiques and history.

"Who are you?"

Tang Yu was flipping through a book when he heard someone ask.
