At about two o'clock in the afternoon, I got up to get a glass of water and saw Xiaoxuan sitting on a pony and smashing tubes.
Maybe she was afraid of disturbing me, so she moved very lightly.
To her left was a washbasin, half of which was already filled with broken coins.
"Yunfeng, I can't sleep because I keep thinking about your one million."
I walked over and said, "Let's take a rest. We have activities in the evening. Jingkang copper coins cannot come out of this tube, not in that era."
Xiaoxuan was stunned for a moment, then raised her hammer to hit me.
"You knew earlier why didn't you tell me!"
"Wouldn't this help you gain knowledge? There was about ten years between Xuanhe and Jingkang. This iron pot was buried there in the early years of Xuanhe."
"No wonder you dared to bet one million, which made me happy in vain."
I smiled and said, "How about changing the betting method? You can take any money and I'll just look at the back and guess what the money is. Then I'll bet a hundred yuan. If you lose, I'll give you a hundred yuan."
Xiaoxuan immediately took one and asked me what it was.
I looked at it for three seconds and said, "Taiping Tongbao."
"It doesn't count! Yunfeng, you must have peeked at it!"
She picked up another one and asked me to guess.
"Tian Sheng Yuan Bao."
Xiaoxuan said speechlessly: "No way! You have X-ray eyes!?"
"You owe me two hundred."
"You can't just let me do it! Why don't you just close your eyes and guess!"
"How can I guess when I close my eyes? In this way, I won't even look at my back. I'll just look at the edges, right? Just look at a little bit."
Xiaoxuan was dissatisfied and immediately picked another one.
She held it tightly and exposed a few millimeters of the copper coin for me to see.
This is difficult, but it doesn't trouble me.
"Yes...is it Daguan Tongbao?"
Xiaoxuan's face immediately fell.
She slowly loosened her hand, which was really a sight to see.
"Yunfeng, how did you do it?"
"You don't understand even after I tell you, my Divine Eye Peak is not unworthy of its fame."
A layman may think I'm bragging, but to an insider it's nothing, it's very simple.
For example, the Taiping Tongbao that Xiaoxuan picked up first has a slightly smaller opening than other varieties, a thinner back, and a smooth bottom seal on the back. For example, the Daguan Tongbao has straight edges and slightly spiral lines.
Xiaoxuan rolled her eyes and said, "There is still a piece of money. I can't see the words on it clearly. Please help me read it."
"Where?"
Xiaoxuan turned around and dug around in the washbasin twice. After finding it, she handed it to me and said, "This is it."
"There's no need to look at this. It's iron money, it's useless."
"Take a look at it, Yunfeng! You can see a treasure character clearly!"
Copper coins in the Northern Song Dynasty had the same price as scrap copper, let alone iron coins, which were worse than scrap iron.
As a result, I looked at it and frowned.
This is a small flat iron coin with heavy black and red rust, about 2.4 in diameter.
Xiaoxuan said she saw a treasure character, but I recognized the traditional Chinese character "乐" at a glance.
This time my mind started to pick up.
I immediately ran to the toilet, dipped a shoe brush in soapy water and scrubbed the front and back. Then I took half a bowl of vinegar, threw the iron money in and soaked it for a few minutes.
After taking it out, I wiped it dry with a damp cloth. I quickly walked to the well-lit yard and lifted it up to take a look.
At this time, the sun shines warmly on my face through the square hole in the middle of the coin.
"Yongle Tongbao...."
Top right, bottom left, read clockwise, the four characters are clearly visible....
I knew it.
I knew there must be a complete supply of this money in the world!
Since there is the first one, there is a high probability that there will be a second one!
The one I picked up at Dongshan Longdong was only half of one!
This is a complete one!
Although it is an iron coin and not a copper coin, anyone who knows the money knows that the discovery of this small iron coin is much more important than the so-called million Jingkang!
I couldn't hide my excitement and immediately ran to the frontman's room to show him.
"The head? The head!!"
He looked at the money in a daze, and I called him twice before he came back to his senses.
"Yunfeng, was this found in the iron pot?"
"Yes! Xiaoxuan smashed it out with a hammer! Fortunately, he asked me! Otherwise, it would have been thrown away as scrap!"
At this time, Xiaoxuan also chased in. Seeing that the boss and I reacted very much, she asked doubtfully: "Is this valuable?"
I said excitedly: "It's not a matter of value or not! This is something that directly proves a certain period of history! Regardless of the official history of the Northern Song Dynasty or the later unofficial history! There is no mention at all that the rebel army minted currency in just one year!"
If there was still controversy about the half-broken coin I picked up, then with the complete appearance of this one, there is no longer any controversy.
There were two types of coins during the Northern Song Dynasty, one was called Jianguo Tongbao and the other was called Huangyou Tongbao. When Jianguo Tongbao was first discovered during the Republic of China, many people thought it was a fake because there had never been any such coins before.
There is no description left in historical materials.
From the Republic of China to the present, about three Jianguo Tongbao have been discovered one after another, which silenced those who doubted it.
This fully illustrates a truth.
Just because you haven’t seen it or heard of it doesn’t mean you haven’t experienced it.
Reminiscent of the string of iron coins with Chunxi on the back that we caught near the ancient underwater city. In my childhood, collectors would not hesitate to buy from me through my Mei-Mei relationship. There is a connection between them. Domestic research in this area is still lagging behind.
.
Shenquanjian in the Song Dynasty was the iron money casting bureau at that time. The site was probably located in today's Jiande, Zhejiang, only a hundred kilometers away from the center of Hangzhou.
Fang La completely occupied the entire Hangzhou at that time, and Shenquan Prison would not let him go.
The money supervisors are all occupied, so it is easy to mint a batch of money.
It named itself Shenggong and its reign was Yongle, so it made Yongle iron coins.
This prison was established during the Xining period, but was suddenly abandoned in the early Southern Song Dynasty.
The Southern Song Dynasty was very short of copper. During the entire Southern Song Dynasty, a huge amount of iron money was minted. Why was Shenquan Prison abandoned as soon as the founding of the People's Republic of China?
This makes no sense and makes no sense. The only possible reason is that something big happened to the money supervisor.
The time period of Xuanhe and Jingkang was the latest period of the Northern Song Dynasty. The sudden abandonment of Shenquan Prison may be related to the rebel army.
"What are you talking about? It's so lively."
"Brother Yu, you're just here. Do me a favor. I'll call Dou Sprout."
Soon, the four of us, each with a small maza, sat in the yard and started smashing iron pots.
"Be careful. If you see iron coins or copper coins with the word Yongle written on them, don't throw them away."
Brother Yu and Xiaoxuan both said they knew.
"ah...."
Douyazai's eyes were red and he opened his mouth wide and yawned, and said listlessly: "Fengzi, you are really, I am having a sweet dream, I dreamed about Panpan."
Brother Yu said: "If you don't want to, you won't be able to dream. Put business first."
"I wonder if Panpan really put a love charm on you?" I said.
Dou Sprout yawned again and said vaguely: "This person is really strange. Some people have known each other for a short time and been separated for a long time. Not only can they not forget it, but they will think about it more and more."
Brother Yu stopped laughing and said, "This is probably love."
I nodded: "Yes, it's spicy."
Xiaoxuan looked at the three of us sideways.
Suddenly, Xiaoxuan turned around and asked Baotou, who was standing behind us holding a teacup, and said, "Baotou, all three of them have it, where is your spicy food?"
He raised his head and took a sip of tea but said nothing.
Dou Sprout said, "I know! The spicy thing on your head is on the other side of the sky!"
He shook his head helplessly, turned around and went back to the house.
Dou Sprout said in a low voice: "Look, am I right? The little Kimchi girl is quite capable. I didn't realize it at the time, but the old Kimchi girl is even more powerful. Fengzi, have you ever eaten kimchi?"
"I've eaten sauerkraut, that's about right."
Dou Sprouts said: "It's different from sauerkraut. I've eaten it once and it's quite delicious with rice."
The afternoon was leisurely. A few of us chatted a lot while smashing tubes in the yard. Xiaoxuan sighed and said that the Chinese New Year was coming soon, and time went so fast.
Brother Yu said that he made a lot of money this year, and it would be even better this year if he could successfully find the legendary treasure.
I encouraged myself that I would definitely find it, and I believed in the leader.
"By the way, did Ma Dachao come to see me when I was in Shanxi? I didn't see him for more than a month, and he didn't call me either."
"Yunfeng, you don't know? You think you know."
"What happened? Someone died?"
Brother Yu immediately waved his hand: "That's not true. I heard someone said that he has entered the bureau and has not come out yet."
"ah!"
"When did it happen?"
"Recently, it seems that we had a dispute with someone because of the logistics company, and the person was beaten and hospitalized. Yunfeng, please don't worry about this matter. You don't want us to show up in public."
I frowned and thought about it, no wonder I haven't heard from him during this period. Normally, if he knew that I was back, he would come to me as soon as possible. He didn't send anyone to contact me, probably because he was afraid of injuring me.
I will definitely take care of it, but I won’t show up.
If the matter is not serious, I would like to find someone to help me make money behind the scenes. After all, Dachao invested real money for me.
The four people finished sorting it out in a short time, and no Yongle money was found again. This one came out in one pot. I put all the loose money into a large sack and sealed it. I have use for these.
