Duan Kun said with a look of disbelief: "Isn't it just an ancient copper coin, what kind of mysterious legends are there?" ”

"Go, that's because you don't know the origin of this Luohan money!" Liu Sizhe said with a smile.

Duan Kun pursed his lips: "Copper coins, aren't they all minted, what else can they be?" ”

Liu Sizhe smiled and said, "You don't understand this!" You must know that during the Kangxi period, the country had not yet been pacified, and the treasury was relatively empty. ”

Moreover, he also made a wish that when the class teacher returned to the court, he would take back all the copper coins and double the gold body. In order to have an identification, remove the word "Xi" from the original "Kangxi Tongbao" on the left side. Unexpectedly, after returning to Beijing, Nian Qianyao was dismissed and imprisoned, so these copper coins were left in the people. ”

"Come on!" Duan Kun sneered and said: "I have learned history well, that year Tang Yao was obviously dismissed and imprisoned by Yongzheng, when Kangxi was in power, he did not return to Beijing after his expedition to the west, if there is such a thing, how can he not have time to repay his wish?" ”

"Hey, you kid still know this?"

Liu Sizhe said with a smile: "Then I will give you another version, it was also during the Kangxi period of the Western Expedition, because of the lack of military salaries, so the Qing soldiers melted the gold and copper Arhats of the temple and cast them into money, so they are called "Arhat money", and the money contains a small amount of gold. ”

"This is even more nonsense, since the treasury is empty, how can it be that the money minted will be put in gold? This is obviously to deceive the people who are so confused! Duan Kun laughed.

Liu Sizhe shook his head and smiled: "You guy changed his career to business. I didn't expect my mind to change much more flexibly. ”

Duan Kun smiled: "I'm twenty-one, okay, how can I still be as stupid as I was when I was in school before?" Come on. Let's talk about how this Arhat money came from! ”

Liu Sizhe said: "In fact, this Luohan money is a "longevity money" specially minted for the 60th birthday of Emperor Kangxi. Emperor Kangxi was diligent in state affairs. In the spring and March of the 52nd year of Kangxi, on the occasion of his 60th birthday, the imperial court not only held a grand birthday ceremony, but also ordered the Baoquan Bureau to cast a batch of small copper coins, called "longevity money", to commemorate. ”

Duan Kun asked again: "Since it's called 'Wanshou Money', why is it called Luohan Money?" Saying anything about melting Arhat or something, that's really unreliable! ”

"As for how it could be called Luohan money. Because of the age, the circulation is different, and we don't know it now. ”

Chu Chen said with a smile: "However, among the many sayings, there is still a more reliable one, it is said that during the Daoguang period, when the Jingci Temple of the West Lake was under maintenance, it was found in the Luohan Buddha that this kind of "Kangxi Tongbao" money was different from the usual products, and the monks distributed this kind of money to good men and women. It is said that the money in the bodhisattva's belly can bless people with good fortune. As a result, "Luohan Qian" was generally called. ”

"Well, this statement is more reliable!" Duan Kun nodded.

Liu Sizhe opened his mouth and said: "Actually, you want me to say. This Luohan money is really not worthy of its name except for its fame, except for the fact that it has survived a lot. The copper quality of Luohan coins is not outstanding, and even some copper colors are not as good as those minted by local bureaus. ”

"There's a reason for that, of course!"

At this time. The four of them walked to a restaurant that looked relatively clean, and Chu Chen continued: "As for the reason." Let's talk while we eat......"

The group asked the waiter for a private room, and after ordering, Chu Chen handed Liu Sizhe the eight Arhat coins he had just bought, took out two more from them, and said, "Look at these two!" ”

"Huh!" Liu Sizhe sighed lightly, hurriedly picked up the copper coin, observed it carefully, and after a while, he said with a surprised face: "Why are these two pieces so different from the others?" ”

Chu Chen explained with a smile: "Luohan money is divided into a head furnace and an ordinary one. The first furnace Luohan money is the first furnace casting, the diameter of the money is greater than 2.65 cm, the weight is 4.9 grams, the edge width is 0.4 cm, the production is excellent, the color is bright, and now it is basically invisible. ”

"In the "General Examination of Money Making", there is: '...... The copper color of this product is quite good, and it is known as Luohan money. The vulgar is very fond of heavy, and often picks and uses it to make a vessel, bright and treasured. Therefore, it has been passed down to this day. As for the ordinary Arhat money, it is lighter than the first furnace Arhat money, the edge is narrower, and the edge is only 0.3 cm wide. ”

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Liu Sizhe compared the two copper coins in his hand with the others, and then sighed: "I really don't know that this Arhat coin actually has the difference between the head furnace and the ordinary!" ”

Chu Chen said with a smile: "This kind of head furnace Arhat money, the color is slightly yellow, and it is said that the copper coin contains three cents of gold, therefore, many people melt the copper coin into a variety of ornaments, so that in the Xianfeng period, it has been rarely found, and now, it is even rarer, so many people do not know that there is a difference between the head furnace and the ordinary." ”

In recent years, there has been a continuous appearance of the local bureau Kangxi money with the word "Xi", and there are new products such as Han Wendong, Guangzhou, Taiwan, and South of the Han Dynasty. Some of them were carved with flowers, and even gilded. This chaotic situation makes even fewer people know about the money of the head furnace. ”

Everyone nodded, and then, Duan Kun hurriedly asked, "Then how much are these two copper coins worth?" ”

Liu Sizhe said speechlessly: "You kid knows money, and you are a little vulgar!" ”

"I'm a layman!" Duan Kun said with a grin.

"After all, some people are interested in antiques because they see that they are valuable and can make money, and it is understandable to raise money."

Chu Chen said with a smile: "As for these two copper coins, I think that combined with the texture of the copper coins and its special status, 200,000 pieces should be appropriate." ”

"200,000, it's not bad!" With the previous experience of picking up leaks, Duan Kun's reaction was quite flat.

Liu Sizhe said with a smile: "What's right, do you think there are a lot of good things worth hundreds of thousands in the antique industry?" Besides, it's just two copper coins, do you think it's worth millions? Young people, don't be too ambitious! ”

That being said, however, he has always seen that Chu Chen's leaks are either millions or tens of millions, and his vision is also high, as long as the leaks are not more than a million, for him, it is just a small leak, of course he will be happy, but he will definitely not be ecstatic.

"Come on, I think you think the same thing as I do!" Duan Kun grinned, and then asked Chu Chen:

"Brother Chen, I see that in addition to these copper coins, you also bought a few Kangxi Tongbao, there must be something to say about it, right?"

"Look at this copper coin!"

As he spoke, Chu Chen pushed the Arhat coin with the word "Xi" in front of the two of them.

"Huh?!"

When Liu Sizhe saw this Luohan coin, he felt very surprised, and then compared the copper coin with a confused face with other copper coins, and finally raised his head and asked with a question mark: "What's going on?" ”

"This is Luohan money, what else can it be!" Chu Chen said with a smile.

"No, isn't there no Luohan money?" Liu Sizhe was puzzled.

Chu Chen said with a smile: "If you say so, the paragraph of "Money Making General Examination": '...... Right Kangxi Tongbao money a product, Xi character is still the word "Xi". Xiyuan press: The shape and quality of this product, the copper color and the previous product are not happy at all, but the word Xi is still used as the word "Xi" for different ears. How do you explain that? ”

Liu Sizhe scratched his head: "I really haven't read this passage, is there really a "Xi" word Luohan money?" ”

Chu Chen smiled: "Isn't this it, except for these two Arhat coins, have you ever seen a copper coin from the Kangxi period with the same texture or better than this Kangxi Tongbao?" ”

"That's not true!"

Liu Sizhe shook his head, and then said with some amazement: "Today is really a long knowledge......

At this moment, Chu Chen's mobile phone rang, he walked to the side and picked up the phone, and then exclaimed:

"What?!"

"Okay...... I got ......."

Seeing Chu Chen's anxious look, Liu Sizhe hurriedly asked, "Brother Chen, what's going on?" ”

Chu Chen said anxiously: "My grandmother suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, do you know what time is the plane from Fucheng to the capital?" ”

Hearing that this was the case, everyone was taken aback, Duan Kun thought for a while and said, "I remember that the first shift in the afternoon will be five or six o'clock!" ”

Chu Chen picked up his things and said as he walked: "No, it's too late, I'll go to Shudu to take a plane, it's twelve o'clock, and it's exactly half past three o'clock to take the plane......"

The three of them hurriedly followed, and the waiter at the door hurriedly asked, "Sir, who are you?" ”

"We have something urgent, so we won't eat here!" Liu Sizhe said.

"But the dishes are already in the pot!" The waiter said urgently.

Chu Chen waved his hand impatiently and said, "Okay, okay, a lot of your money, you go and help us pack a few dishes now, and I'll ......settle the money together."

Coming out of the hotel, everyone went to the hotel to get their luggage first, and then went to Shudu Airport.

The wind was speeding along the way, and the two-hour journey was compressed by Hu Yong to one and a half hours.

After Chu Chen took the ticket, Duan Kun said, "Brother Chen, it's still early, I'll go and bring you the Guanyin statue too." ”

Chu Chen nodded: "Okay......"

After Duan Kun drove away, Liu Sizhe asked, "Is Grandma Qian's cerebral hemorrhage strict?" ”

Chu Chen was slightly stunned, and replied: "I really didn't ask about this, I'll call and ask!" ”

As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and called his mother, and after a while, he hung up the phone, and the whole person was a little more relaxed, and said, "It's capillary bleeding, and the problem is not too big!" (To be continued......)
