I put the money on the table.

This money is different from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Tongbao I saw: first, it is very large, very thick, and very heavy; Second, there is ornamentation.

obverse "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom", Song style;

The edge of the wide side is decorated with two dragons playing with beads, and there are Shoushan Fuhai below, which means auspicious.

The upper and lower sides of the back text are read "Holy Treasure", and the left and right sides are decorated with double phoenix patterns; The edge of the wide side is decorated with eight auspicious emblems, namely the treasure cover, the treasure wheel, the goldfish, the treasure umbrella, the lotus flower, the treasure vase, the pan intestine, and the conch.

I asked the master, "What kind of money is this?"

The master said, "This is the money of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom."

"What is spending money?" I asked again,

The master picked up the largest copper coin, checked it with his hand and said, "This money costs more than one catty and two taels, that is, more than 600 grams."

After Changmao occupied Nanjing, he changed Nanjing to Tianjing and established the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom (1851-1864).

"In order to reward the meritorious soldiers or ministers of the three armies, the king of heaven Hong Xiuquan asked the original craftsmen of the Suzhou Mint Bureau to cast a batch of money.

"Spending money is a commemorative coin specially minted by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which is used to give gifts to friends and reward meritorious heroes, also known as 'gift money'.

"It has not been used in circulation, and it is rewarded by the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan to meritorious soldiers and ministers, and the size of the reward represents the rank of the reward.

"The big ones are given to the kings, the medium ones are to the ministers and meritorious generals, and the small ones are to the soldiers who have made military achievements.

"The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has added a holy word in almost every way, which is taken from the religious program that praises Jesus as the Savior.

"The army is called the holy soldier, the treasury is called the holy treasury, and the coins are called the holy treasure.

"The sacred treasures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were cast in the war-torn period, and most of the copper quality was poor when the war was continuous and the copper transportation was blocked.

"But because of its broad lace, ornate decoration, and complicated layout, the quality of the money is pure and there are not many surviving in the world.

"Especially after the defeat of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, its coins were deliberately destroyed and destroyed by the Qing government.

"Zeng Guofan once ordered the private possession of long-haired coins to be regarded as bandits, and was punished by imprisonment at least and beheaded at worst.

As a result, the number of surviving is very small, and the fine products are even more precious.

Moreover, as a special theocratic peasant regime, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom left behind quite few physical objects and documents.

"As a commemorative item, the large amount of money is even rarer, and most of the heirloom products are treasured by the National Museum as first-class cultural relics.

"This is the auction price of Hong Kong Guardian two years ago, between 800,000 and 1 million."

Yes! I exclaimed!

I said in a panic: "Mrs., you should take it away, such a valuable and valuable thing, if I lose it or break it, it will be terrible."

"One is millions, this is three, I, I..."

Mrs. Shi smiled: "What am I? Are you still a descendant of our Frog Gate? Frightened by this little thing? Are you afraid of losing it and breaking it? What will you do when you see a sea of gold and silver in the future!.

"I can't pass this money pass, I think your apprentice still doesn't learn! It's going to hurt you!

"You see, I just put it around me casually, and I have kept it for decades, and I haven't lost it or broken it."

I hurriedly said: "The teacher is too relieved, the head can be broken, the blood can be shed, this money cannot be lost, I promise not to lose it, and it will not be broken!"

Mrs. Shi smiled again: "Look at you, you can't pass this money, you have to treat money like dung, this money is a piece of rotten copper, don't think about how much it's worth."

"You think about how much it's worth all day long, your soul is hooked by it, your heart is fascinated by it, and you go to the money, you're gone, you've lost your soul, what else can you do if you're lost?

"I gave it to you as a meeting gift today, just to let you pass the money barrier.

"Not only the money pass, but also the love pass, the name pass has to be passed, these three passes are three mountains."

Oh, I see! "I understand Shitai, it's just a piece of broken copper." I say.

"Hey, that's right." Mrs. Shi said.

"Back then, this money was spent by Lai Wenhong, the king of long-haired Kuang, to my master, and it has been more than 120 years."

"Master, tell us this story." I prayed.

Shi Tai leaned on crutches and said okay, and began to tell:

It should be ten years of Xianfeng, and the long-haired king at that time seemed to have called Lai Wenhong to lay down Jing County, and together with the other two kings, he broke the Jiangnan camp of the Qing Demon.

This Lai Wenhong brothers are not bad, they are Mrs. Tianwang, right! It's called Lai Lianying's cousin, that is, her brother-in-law.

After breaking the camp in the south of the Yangtze River, the king of heaven was very happy, and named his brother King Kuang and his younger brother King Zun.

Both brothers rebelled with the king in their hometown.

At that time, there was chaos in Tianjing City, and the king killed the king, and the killing was a river of blood, and the king of heaven couldn't control it.

King Kuang didn't dare to stay in Tianjing City, and did not build a palace in Tianjing City, so he built King Kuang's Mansion on Chengdong Street in Jingxi County.

This Kuang Wang's Mansion has been built, but King Kuang has been fighting for many years as an adult, the old injuries are added to the new sorrows, and the kings are fighting back and forth, how can they not worry? Finally fell ill.

The famous doctors in Jiangnan have run out, and Changmao has come to visit my master.

But my master was an old naughty boy, and he said to my master: "There is a prince who lives in the city, and he agreed with Lao Tzu to go to the clinic at the same time, and if he wants to make a lot of money, he will quickly carry his bag with me and leave." ”

At that time, my master was only a teenager and bold, and he asked my master to disguise himself as a man and pretend to be a boy.

Pick up an empty bamboo box and travel with him.

When I arrived at the gate of the palace, I handed my master a jade ring and put it in his mouth.

When he entered the gate, he said to the long-haired man who was guarding the door, "He is my dumb apprentice." ”

The housekeeper bowed to the ground.

Shigong rolled his eyes and said, "The kowtow is fake, the money is real, and what about the money?" All I need is Eagle Ocean! I don't want copper coins. ”

The butler immediately brought out a sealed paper from the tray to Ying Yang. My master opened it in front of him and checked it, one fifteen, ten points, a total of three thousand, and ordered my master to put it in an empty bamboo box.

At that time, Yingyang was foreigners' money, which was better than silver ingots and copper coins.

After the master counted the money, he asked where the person was? Said in the inner room.

When I entered the bed, I saw a long-haired prince in his forties, who said that he had been bedridden for more than a month, and his hands and feet were numb and could not move.

Shigong took out a leather gourd from his arms, poured out three balls, and filled the room with a strange fragrance.

shouted to the long hair: "This golden pill, I want to swallow it quickly in front of me, bring warm water!" ”

The housekeeper trembled and brought a bowl of water, and the master took it, splashed it on the ground, and shouted: It's too hot!

The housekeeper brought a bowl of water trembling again, and the master took it, splashed it on the ground again, and shouted: It's too cold!

He pointed at my master with his hand and shouted: You go, take a bowl of Yin and Yang Dan water.

What is Yin and Yang Dan Water?

My master mixed a bowl of hot water with cold water, he asked the patient to open his mouth and swallow it, helped him up to sit down, and moved his feet to hang down in front of the bed.

patted his chest and stroked his back, stroked his neck and said, "Get up~~!"

He ordered the prince to get out of bed, helped him to walk, walked around the bed more than ten times, and sat on the edge of the bed, and was fine.

The whole mansion was overjoyed, and a room of people kowtowed to the ground, and they all sighed: "True immortals, real living immortals." ”

The master also ordered everyone to go out, bit their ears and secretly teach the prince the art of guidance, and instructed that they must persevere, otherwise they will die, and they will not be allowed to come to me, and I will come when I come.

The prince was very happy, and ordered the butler to take out three large sums of money from the Heavenly King's reward, which he rewarded when he was crowned King Kuang.

said that this is a talisman, no matter what kind of long hair he encounters in the future, if he takes it out and sees the king, he will not hurt him.

After going out, I asked my master to spit back the jade ring and give the money to my master.

My master asked him how he could collect so much money.

Shi Gong said: "Why not win people's money and eliminate disasters for people!"

"Giving up a lot of wealth shows that he is eager to survive, how can he believe it?

"If you don't believe, how can you be cured? If you think about it, those who go against the grain will come out against the grain, and their money will be robbed of the people. ”

When I returned home from the county seat, I saw the fleeing people along the way, and the hungry people who ran away (fleeing from the long hair), and saw that one of them was scattered in three pieces and two pieces.

In less than half a day, before he got home, the money was scattered, leaving only ten oceans, and he wanted to keep it to buy rice wine to drink.

"This master is so cute." I say.

Mrs. Shi said: "This master is called Liu Shenxian."
