Huang Shi suddenly became nervous, "So are the others genuine?"
"The others are really genuine, but I don't dare to confirm ......."
Huang Shi suddenly felt relieved, "That's it, old pig, do you have the guts to eat these?"
Huang Shi simply put the dozens of Zhengde Tongbao into a paper bag.
"Why don't you collect it, I have to calculate the price". After a period of tinkering, the most reckless after the calculation, the old pig gave an internal price of 7,000 yuan, Huangshi suddenly smiled, this business is too worthwhile, the average of 1 tael of silver in the past is less than 120 yuan, and now the silver of about one tael has doubled nearly 100 times and is more than worth it.
Huang Shi pressed the excitement in his heart, and the old pig brothers talked about it, and then by the way learned some knowledge of ancient coins, when talking about the small money mentioned by the shopkeeper, the old pig told Huang Shi that since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, whether the government or private coinage sometimes does not even use copper but only lead and iron, and it is not cast, it is cut out of iron plate or lead plate. Therefore, in the 33rd year of Jiajing, it was stipulated that Jiajing money, Hongwu and other coins, as well as the copper coins of the previous generation, could be converted into 7 wen yuan for one cent of silver, and the other money was divided into three grades according to its quality, or 1 cent of silver for 10 yuan, or 1 cent for 14 yuan for silver, or 1 cent for 20 yuan for silver, and other rotten money that could not be used was forbidden. ”
The old pig took a sip of water, and now he and Huangshi are sitting on the second floor of the antique shop, and the upstairs are put some of the old pig's own tasting and confirmed boutiques.
However, the salaries issued to civil and military officials in the Ming Dynasty were not new or old, but were used as high-class money, and were spent with 7 wen yuan converted into a cent of silver, so the officials went up and down, that is, they used this market to force the merchants to accept, and the people were of course dissatisfied and did not buy it in private. Later, they had no choice but to allow the small money to circulate, but the small money required 6,000 wen to be converted into one tael of silver.
Later, they almost set the Jiajing money for 700 Wen for one tael, Hongwu and other money for 1,000 Wen, and the copper money of the previous generation to 3,000 Wen to be worth one tael of silver, so the people all transformed the Jiajing money. But later, this kind of forced pricing was abolished like that treasure banknote, and all kinds of money could only rise and fall naturally, but the taxes collected by the government and the salaries of officials had to be collected in vain. ”
Huang Shi despised the strange economic management of the Ming Dynasty in his heart, and saw that the old pig had come to an end, he stood up and walked to the antique shelves around him, and looked at the nameplates of those collections, that is, some modern porcelain, calligraphy and painting works, and some miscellaneous, such as horn carvings, inkstones, purple clay pots, enamels, small incense burners, etc.
"I said Lao Zhu, why don't you buy some things from the Ming Dynasty and Song Dynasty", "Hey, you don't know what to do, don't say that I don't have a purchase channel, and I don't have that fund, even if I have it, I can't leave it here", Huangshi thinks about it, watching a set of collection programs on CCTV, the valuation of porcelain in the Song and Ming dynasties is 100,000 yuan, if you put it in this store, don't concentrate on giving people a nest, it is estimated that the old pig will have to jump off the building.
"By the way, Lao Shi, I asked you just now why you have time to go back to your hometown, and you have collected so many copper coins"? Obviously, the old pig out of a businessman's shrewdness wanted to find out the details, took the small tea cup handed over by the old pig at the same time, Huangshi pretended to drink water and thought about how to reply, can not underestimate the IQ of the old pig, people open such a big store who has not seen it, too obvious lies do not hurt feelings, and in the future will have to use 100 times the lie to round.
Under the turn of his mind, Huang Shi put down the teacup and looked at the old pig, looking at him with a loyal face, and said in his heart, "The old pig and the old pig, don't you make me embarrassed, "I went back to my hometown the day before yesterday and turned over the old site of the ancestral house, and my father was going to build a house on top of it, where, it was under that place, and I found the jar buried in the ground, and the jar contained these copper coins", "Is there anything else"?" Yes, these are just part of it, I just see that you are a brother, so I let you palm your eyes first", speaking of which the old pig is a little believing, because they had 8 brothers in the dormitory, two brothers often boasted that their ancestors had "10,000 acres of fertile land", Huangshi was one of them, he said that his family was a landlord before liberation, and the mountains in his village were his family, and he also said that the landlord's mansion of his family was later burned down by fire, and nothing was rescued out, so he was rated as a rich peasant after liberation. But the strange thing is that the political rhetoric of the two landlord grandsons is very different, and they often fight in the dormitory, while the brothers whose ancestors are poor peasants are all playing soy sauce.
Seeing that the old pig was a little convinced, Huang Shi decided to add some more ingredients, "I still have a few treasure notes you just mentioned, and they are quite good to keep, how about you are interested?" "Treasure money, that's a really good thing, how many do you have"? "Looks like there are 5 of them, how much are they worth now?" "I'll give you a piece of 40,000, you give it to me, let my brother also make some money, how about it", "Okay, but it may take a while for me to come back, I'm busy for a while."
Pushed away the old pig's proposal to go for a drink, saying that there was something else at home, the old pig laughed at Huangshi or his wife was strict, he could only smile bitterly, and he didn't bother to explain, after all, divorce is not a good thing, and all friends who don't want to make things know and sympathize. Huangshi left in such a hurry, in addition to being afraid of drinking and chatting with the old pig, waiting for too many words to be lost, and not being able to keep the secret, he was also worried that if he drank wine, he would get up late tomorrow, and the little guys over there would have no one to take care of, and now that there has become the focus of Huangshi's life.
……
The next day, Huang Shi, who came to ancient times, moved away from the chair behind the door, and woke up a few children in another room. Today, Huangshi wants to go to the street to investigate the balance of modern and ancient time and space trade, because after all, copper coins are now a kind of antique products, it has a limit on market capacity, if the quantity is too much, it will bring about the problem of commodity depreciation, and second, it may also attract the attention of people who are interested. Therefore, copper coin trading is destined to be only a temporary method of accumulating funds in the early stage.
Huangshi has also considered other antiques and calligraphy and paintings, but now it is only in a small county, and the calligraphy and paintings of celebrities are simply rare and unavailable, and whether the calligraphy and painting works themselves will encounter collisions in modern society is also a question to consider. The antique market has high gold content of old furniture, can be easily obtained small household furniture, not to mention that their material is not mahogany, pineapple wood, even the furniture itself can not have any artistic value, and the furniture of large families is good, but how can you get it, and furniture as a commodity There is a big problem, that is, their volume.
It's difficult, it's difficult, "alas", I have thought about gold, jade, precious materials or something, but obviously they are not things that can be obtained by Huangshi now, so I can only give up and consider it in the medium and long term. As for the sale of modern commodities in ancient times, Yellowstone figured it out yesterday, that is, to buy silver in modern times and then ancient flowers, and there are many channels for buying, there are gold and silver refineries around the country can be contacted, either silver coins, silver medals, silver bars issued by various commercial banks, or in the gold exchange silver T+D transaction to apply for the withdrawal of spot, the last one is to buy silver items as much as possible in daily consumption, such as silver tableware, silver vases and other decorations.
Huangshi took them left and right to the back street, this is yesterday and Xiao Erda heard, some food on this street is more delicate and interesting, a look at this street is not very long, just more than 100 meters, scattered along the street some food stalls, Huangshi wants to eat in a general place with many mouths, you can get some useful news, so that you can save the trouble of deliberately looking for someone to inquire about the news, and will not be fooled by outsiders because of their different accents, but unfortunately the inn where they live may be on the "star", There is no popularity, otherwise there would be no need to travel so far.
I saw a food stall not far away, there were already several people eating there, seeing that their bowls were all hot white and tender tofu brains, and sprinkled with some green shallots, which looked quite attractive, and there were dishes with fried dough sticks on their table. This stall only has 5 tables, plus a few stools, and now there are two tables, and Huangshi sees that although those tables are broken, they are unusually clean. Just sit down with the little ones at the table on the very edge.
"Yi Po, five bowls of tofu brain", Huang Shi saw that Yi Po looked in her fifties, although the coarse cloth clothes she was wearing were old and patched, but they were clean, and more than half of the white hair was combed neatly and meticulously, and the person looked particularly clean and neat, which made people feel good at a glance.
"That boy can ask for fritters or scallion cakes"? "Okay", "3 fritters, and 5 green onion cakes", I saw that the two groups of guests next to me were eating their own dry food, and the coarse black dry food didn't seem to know what Lu Dao was made of. After a while, the tofu brain was served, and the green onion floated on the white and tender tofu brain, and you could smell the fragrance of sesame oil and garlic. This tofu brain is really delicious, not to mention the smooth and tender taste, the taste is unusual. One bowl was eaten quickly, and seeing that the little ones obviously wanted another bowl, Huangshi asked Yipo to serve a few more bowls.
