Zhang Junping searched all the rooms and finally stopped in the kitchen.
He bent down and tapped the floor gently for a while, then took out a military dagger from the museum space and slowly pried open a piece of floorboard.
Another piece of floor was pried open.
The soil under the floor was soft, so Zhang Junping used his dagger to dig out the soil under the floor.
After a while, another wooden board appeared below. When the board was taken out, a hole was exposed underneath.
Zhang Junping had a satisfied smile on his face.
Just now, Zhang Junping seemed to be walking aimlessly through various rooms, but he was actually looking for possible treasures.
Since receiving the ancient method of Wu Qin Xi, although he has not felt that his physical fitness has increased much, he has become much more sensitive to the surrounding environment.
The process of his walking just now was actually sensing the situation under the floor at the moment when his toes touched the ground.
Toe touching the ground is a process of tapping the floor, and the echo is used to detect the situation under the floor.
Zhang Junping reached out and hugged the big blue and white jar, trying to pick it up.
The first thing Zhang Junping felt about the large blue and white jar was that it was heavy.
The large blue and white can is not big in size, but it weighs hundreds of kilograms.
This is a large blue and white jar with a lid. Through the glaze color, Zhang Junping initially judged that this should be the price of goods in the Ming Dynasty.
But now is not the time to study the big blue and white jar, we should open the treasure first.
There is obviously something in the big blue and white jar.
Gently opening the lid of the large blue and white jar, there were actually black silver coins inside, which made Zhang Junping a little disappointed.
It is very normal for silver coins to turn black over time.
Simply put, the color change of silver coins will go through five processes, white → yellow → brown → blue → black.
Zhang Junping casually grabbed a handful of silver coins. They were worthless.
During the Republic of China, warlords were fighting each other, and the issuance of silver coins was also very chaotic.
Warlords and even some businessmen in various places were making and issuing silver coins.
"Huh?" Zhang Junping suddenly shrank his eyes and stared at the silver dollar in his hand.
This is not the silver dollar circulating in the Republic of China, but the Guangxu Yuanbao silver coin, the earliest silver dollar in our country, and a machine-made coin cast by the Guangdong Money Bureau.
The few silver coins in Zhang Junping's hand are all the first batch of silver coins, worth seven cents and three cents.
At that time, Zhang Zhidong felt that foreign silver from various countries was circulating freely in the country and plundering the wealth of the people, so he minted mechanical currency to resist foreign silver.
At the beginning, Zhang Zhidong made a plan to drive out bad coins with good coins. At that time, the currency circulating in the market was seven cents and two cents of foreign silver. In order to expel these foreign silver, Zhang Zhidong specially minted seven cents and three cents of Guangxu Yuanbao.
silver.
As a result, good coins did not drive out bad coins. Instead, because the first batch of Guangxu Yuanbao silver coins contained high silver content, merchants were reluctant to use them and collected them one after another.
As a result, the plan of chasing bad money with good money failed.
Later, Zhang Zhidong had no choice but to mint seven-cent silver coins, which became very popular.
Compared with the uneven quality of silver coins during the Republic of China, the Guangxu Yuanbao silver coins minted in the Qing Dynasty are still of very good quality.
In later generations, Guangxu Yuanbao silver coins were very popular among Quan friends.
Of course it's worth a lot of money.
Zhang Junping put the Guangxu Yuanbao silver coins in his hand into the museum space and continued to grab a handful.
This handful of silver coins is relatively mixed, including Guangxu Yuanbao, Yuan Datou, and RB Longyang.
This was also the current social situation at that time. All kinds of silver coins were mixed together. At that time, there were more than 100 kinds of silver coins minted domestically, and there were dozens of foreign silver coins.
For example, Yuan Datou only minted silver coins during Yuan Shikai's reign. There were several versions in the third, eighth, ninth and tenth years of the Republic of China.
Later, after Yuan Shikai stepped down, it was changed to Sun Xiaotou. In addition to the central casting of silver coins with Mr. Sun Yat-sen's head, many Sun Xiaotou were also minted across the country.
Others like RB Dragon Ocean, Mexican Eagle Ocean, and Indian Ocean were also relatively good-quality and popular silver coins at that time.
Zhang Junping threw the silver dollar back into the jar, and then put the jar directly into the museum space.
I will study it slowly when I have time in the future.
The purpose of collecting antiques is to slowly appreciate the history and culture contained in them. The essence lies in slowness and taste.
Now is not the right time.
After putting away the big blue and white jar, Zhang Junping searched it carefully again to make sure there was nothing else before returning to the attic.
The view from the attic is good, and you can observe what's going on outside at any time.
Zhang Junping sat on the floor of the attic, leaning against the wall, closing his eyes and meditating.
Now is not the time to act, there are military patrols everywhere outside.
Wait until evening.
Zhang Junping immersed his mind into the museum space, where fragments of various experiences were floating in the sky like stars.
Hard pen porcelain painting experience fragment +128
Qianlong pastel porcelain firing experience fragment +26
Kangxi blue and white porcelain firing experience fragment +134
Ming Yongle blue and white porcelain firing experience fragment +5
Alloy smelting experience fragments +459
Carving experience fragment +459
Mechanical operation experience fragments +459
Silver coin casting craft experience fragment +459
…………
Zhang Junping was a little confused when he looked at the many strange fragments of experience that suddenly appeared in the museum space.
After careful study, he discovered that the calligraphy and paintings, rare ancient books, and porcelain fragments that he had just put into the museum space were all incomplete and damaged antique cultural relics.
But for the museum space, it does not affect the knowledge, skills and experience contained in extracting cultural relics.
As for that weird alloy smelting experience, it is the technical knowledge contained in the silver dollar.
All silver coins are not pure silver. Strictly speaking, they are an alloy, an alloy of silver, nickel and copper.
However, the metal content in various silver coins is different.
The experience of engraving silver coins is also brought by silver coins. The process of making silver coins starts with the ingredients. Silver, nickel, and copper are smelted according to a certain proportion, and finally become the materials needed to cast silver coins.
The next step is to carve the mold, which is the most critical step in casting silver coins.
Then comes casting, where the alloy material is heated and melted and the alloy water is poured into the mold to become a rough embryo of the silver dollar.
Then after polishing, smoothing and other procedures, it finally becomes a silver dollar circulating in the market.
Because silver coins are all machine-made, they must be forged and finally formed using mechanical equipment such as punch presses, sheet mills, cold rolling mills, and edge rolling machines.
Therefore, Zhang Junping also gained experience in mechanical operation.
As for the silver dollar casting process, it is a summary of the entire process.
Generally speaking, as long as Zhang Junping is given the corresponding machinery and materials, Zhang Junping can perfectly cast the silver coins he wants.
This wave of harvest is much greater than that jar of silver dollars.
Yes, there is also a large blue and white jar, just as Zhang Junping initially judged, it is a large blue and white jar of Yongle Ming Dynasty.
Anyway, I had nothing to do, and there was still a long time before dark, so Zhang Junping clicked on the fragments one by one.
One hundred pieces of fragments can obtain primary skills.
As he touched the fragments with his consciousness, Zhang Junping suddenly felt his brain swell, and suddenly he had a lot more knowledge and memories.
