Chapter 717
"Tiger Talisman?"
Hearing Xue Chen say that the treasure that the old man Yuan Kangmei took out was a tiger talisman, Qi Changhe and Xue Qi were surprised, and even the old man himself looked at Xue Chen.
"Tiger Talisman...... Brother, I've heard of it, it seems that it was used to dispatch troops in ancient times, right? Xue Qi asked.
"Yes, the Tiger Talisman is indeed used to dispatch troops." Xue Chen held the tiger talisman in his hand and nodded.
The tiger talisman is the ancient emperor's military talisman used to dispatch troops, with bronze or gold made into a token in the shape of the tiger, split into two halves, half of which is handed over to the general, the other half is kept by the emperor, only two tiger talismans are used together at the same time, and the holder of the talisman will obtain the right to transfer troops.
And what Grandpa Yuan took out was half of the Tiger Talisman!
This tiger is about six or seven centimeters long, made of bronze, the shape is the shape of a tiger, but it is half a tiger, it has been split from head to tail, and there seem to be some traces of gilt on the surface, but because it is too old, the gilt on it is somewhat peeled off.
There are also some wrong gold seal characters on this general tiger talisman, which are divided into two places, which are on the back of the tiger and the side of the tiger's body.
Because the back was split, the seal character was also divided into two, but Xue Chen could still faintly see a rough idea, "It is a tiger talisman with Beihai County." ”
"Beihai County ......"
Xue Chen narrowed his eyes, his head was thinking quickly, and he quickly remembered that Beihai County was a place named in the Han Dynasty, and it seemed that it was renamed again after the Tang Dynasty.
Look at the seal on the side of the tiger talisman: the second from the right in Beihai County.
"Brother, tell us about this tiger talisman, what the hell is going on, it looks like something a long time ago." Xue Qi asked with interest.
Xue Chen pinched the tiger talisman in his hand, nodded thoughtfully, and said: "Yes, this half of Grandpa Yuan's tiger talisman is indeed a long time ago, it should be the tiger talisman used by a certain general in Beihai County during the Western Han Dynasty, and it is undoubtedly genuine." ”
"Western Han Dynasty, that's really a long time ago, more than 2,000 years." Xue Qi was surprised.
Yuan Kangmei said with some surprise: "Tiger talisman...... I've heard of it, it seems to be used to dispatch troops in ancient times, but I didn't expect this to be it. ”
"Grandpa Yuan, this half of your tiger talisman is the right half, in ancient times, the tiger talisman was respected by the right, so this half is usually held by the emperor in his hand."
"It's amazing, this thing of Uncle Yuan is still the emperor's thing?" Qi Changhe's face was shocked.
"Yes, so to speak, it is indeed the Emperor's thing." Xue Chen replied affirmatively.
Several people in the room were surprised, they didn't expect that they would be able to identify the emperor's things, even Yuan Kangmei himself didn't expect it.
"Brother Chen, this thing is very precious, right?" Xue Qi asked with a laugh.
Qi Changhe and Yuan Kangmei also looked over.
"This ......" Xue Chen estimated it in his heart before he spoke, "Beihai County was also a very large county in the Western Han Dynasty, so this tiger talisman still has considerable collection and research value, and it can be said that it is indeed very precious, but the only problem is that this tiger talisman is not complete, only half of it, which greatly reduces its value." ”
"I understand that this is like the hinge on the door, half of it is missing, and the other half is useless, and only when it is put together is it complete." Qi Changhe said.
Yuan Kangmei sighed: "I didn't expect that soldier named Xiaoshi to give me such a strange thing, if I knew at the time, I would definitely not take it, hey, that, Xiao Chen, you said so much, can this tiger charm be exchanged for a school bus to pick up students to and from school?" ”
"Yes." Xue Chen nodded affirmatively, gave a suitable estimate, and his tone was very serious, "If it is a complete set of Western Han Beihai County Tiger Talismans, then its value should reach about ten million, but if it is only half of it, the value will be greatly reduced, two million." ”
Million!
Qi Changhe's hand holding the tea jar shook, he was frightened by this price, today Xue Chen identified hundreds of ancestral treasures for the villagers, but the most expensive one is only tens of thousands of yuan, and the sum is only hundreds of thousands.
But such an inconspicuous gadget was worth two million, and it was because half of it was missing, how could he not be shocked.
Xue Qi also winked playfully, expressing surprise.
Yuan Kangmei was also slightly stunned, it seemed that this price was far beyond his imagination.
"Grandpa Yuan, are you going to sell it?" Xue Chen asked.
"Sell, of course sell! What do you do if you don't sell it, do you want to accompany me into the coffin? Being able to sell some money and buy a school bus for the children in the village is more important than anything else! Yuan Kangmei said with great certainty, and immediately asked Xue Chen, "How much does a school bus cost?" ”
"This ...... I don't know much either, so I checked it on my phone. Xue Chen took out his mobile phone, searched for the price of the school bus, and introduced it to Grandpa Yuan, "The brand of the school bus is different, as well as the difference in the size and space of the seats, the price fluctuates greatly, the cheap small school bus can be purchased for tens of thousands, and the luxury type of forty or fifty seats may reach five or six hundred thousand." ”
Yuan Kangmei asked Qi Changhe how many students in the village went to school in the town.
"Now there are 38 primary and secondary school students in our village who go to school in the town, of which 12 live in the school, and the rest of the primary school students ride bicycles to and from every day." Qi Changhe remembered all the big and small things in the village, so he immediately said the exact number.
Yuan Kangmei nodded, thought about it again, and said to Xue Chen: "That's good, buy a school bus with forty or fifty seats, more spacious, there are not many students now, but maybe there will be more in the future, it's always good to have some surplus, Xue Chen, you take the money to buy the school bus, and use this thing to offset the account." ”
Hearing Yuan Kangmei's decision, how could Xue Chen agree, and hurriedly said: "Grandpa Yuan, this is not good, you also listened to me just now, although this tiger talisman is only half, but the value is also around two million, and a school bus is enough for hundreds of thousands, and there are more than one million left, I can't take advantage of you, I don't think it's better to do this, just set the price according to two million, and when the school bus is purchased, I will give you the rest of the money, and stay to spend your old age in peace." ”
Grandpa Yuan smiled heartily: "What do you spend in your old age, I'm just fine now, what do I want so much money for, I have no children and no daughters, do you have a bunch of money at home for me to support the elderly?" ”
Although Grandpa Yuan said this, Xue Chen still insisted on refusing to take advantage of this, he really admired Grandpa Yuan's spirit, and it was really difficult to accept this kind of cheapness.
In the end, after a simple discussion, a compromise was made, the remaining money after the purchase of the school bus was put to Xue Chen, and when there was a natural and man-made disaster in the village and relief was needed, he would take the remaining money from it until it was used up.
"Grandpa Yuan, since you said so, then do it, don't worry, I will definitely keep this money and use it in the village." Xue Chen seriously assured.
"Morning boy, I believe you! Okay, that's it, I'll go back first. Grandpa Yuan stood up, nodded with a smile, and walked out.
After sending Grandpa Yuan away, Xue Chen and Xiao Qi also went home, and Xiao Qi followed him home.
Qi Changhe found two villagers to help Xue Chen take away the things that every household had collected.
After returning home, Xue Chen asked Xiaoqi to carefully calculate the accounts and calculate the total amount, and he went to the town to withdraw the money in a while.
Xue Hongfa and Luo Huijuan also heard at home that Xue Chen had acquired many ancestral heirlooms from the villagers' homes, but they were still surprised to see the dozens of things scattered around, and they sighed when they learned that the old man Yuan Kangmei took out something worth two million to Xue Chen for identification, and also donated it to buy a school bus in the village.
"Old Man Yuan's mind is really amazing, ordinary people can't compare." Xue Hongfa sighed.
"Dad, I remember Grandpa Yuan, it doesn't seem to be from our village, right?" Xue Chen asked.
"No, I moved later, but it's been decades, once Uncle Yuan drank too much, and said some things in the past, he seemed to be a company commander when he was a soldier, but later in the counterattack against Vietnam, because of some things, he made some mistakes, so he left the army, returned to the place, and moved to our Liushu Village, speaking of which Uncle Yuan's life is really bitter, no children and no daughters, and his wife is gone, leaving a lonely old man."
Xue Chen nodded.
On the side, my sister Xiaoqi had already explained that the accounts had been calculated clearly, handed over the account book, and said, "Brother, a total of 388,500 yuan." ”
"Okay, then I'll go to the county seat to withdraw the money now, the town may not be able to withdraw so much money." Xue Chen said.
"Go and go back quickly, drive slower on the road." Mother Luo Huijuan advised.
"Okay." Xue Chen went out of the house with the account book.
If it weren't for the help of the villagers, he wouldn't have wasted time going back and forth to the county seat for a business of more than 300,000 yuan that has not yet made a dime.
But since he agreed, he has to do it, take the money early and send it to the villagers, he is convenient, and the villagers are also down-to-earth, he doesn't value this money, but it is not a small amount of money for the neighbors of each family.
Moreover, I have to discuss with Qi Changhe about the specific matters of buying a school bus.
Drove all the way to the county seat, when passing by the gate of a school, he subconsciously slowed down the speed of the car, and glanced at the campus through the gate, which was his high school alma mater, and his memory was still the same, except for the playground to build a new cement basketball court.
The car stopped in front of the bank, Xue Chen went to the business window after entering, and asked if he could withdraw 400,000 yuan, and was told that if he did not make an appointment, he could only withdraw 50,000 yuan at most, and the remaining 350,000 yuan needed to be picked up tomorrow.
"Ahh
Xue Chen patted his head, and then remembered that he needed to make an appointment to withdraw a large amount of cash, because he rarely withdrew so much cash, and he usually transferred money directly on weekdays, so he ignored this.
