I didn’t expect that there was something in the belly of the gold-swallowing beast!
Immediately shout "Basin! Bring a basin over here!"
I couldn't find the basin, so I quickly grabbed the cardboard box containing the mineral water.
All I heard was a crashing sound!!
After a while, most of the cardboard box was filled with golden copper coins.
I grabbed a handful and found that they were all copper coins with the same type of inscriptions, and they were all "Taiping Tongbao"!
Taiping Tongbao was the first type of year-name coin minted by Zhao Kuangyi during the Northern Song Dynasty. It was in large quantities and not valuable. The price at that time was about four yuan a piece.
"Botou, how strange? Why don't these Tai Ping Tong Bao rust? They can't be gold, right?" .??.
He smiled and said, "Yunfeng, the beauty you think of cannot be gold coins or copper coins."
Generally speaking, if so many copper coins are stacked in a closed environment, they will develop patina over time. Once they start to rust, the copper coins will form into lumps, which is what we usually call "coins in a tube."
But the situation in front of me is that the copper coins hidden in the belly of the gold-eating beast are one by one, not rusty, and not lumpy.
After careful research, I discovered the trick.
It turns out that the copper quality of these copper coins is very good, much better than the common copper coins of the Song Dynasty. They are golden yellow and thick. Generally, the small flat wire of the Song Dynasty weighs about three grams. But I took these coins in front of me casually.
After weighing it, I felt that each one weighed about five grams.
I immediately said distressedly, "Boss, we seem to have lost money! Even if there are two thousand copper coins, four yuan each, they can only be sold for ten thousand yuan! But if this bronze beast is complete, it can be sold for at least six hundred thousand yuan!"
Now there is such a big hole in my stomach! I think it can be sold for 200,000!"
"Head, how about I find a welder to fill the hole in it tomorrow?"
He shook his head and said, "No need to make up, we will sell it like this. Besides, who said we lost money? Yunfeng, take a closer look to see what is different about these Taipings."
"There's nothing different! It's just that the copper is better! It's a little heavier! It's not gold!"
These copper coins are called "Song Diao" in our industry, which means diaosi. They are worthless. I helped Jin Fenghuang dig up several hundred kilograms in Yinchuan before selling them. Thousands of dollars, to put it bluntly, I wouldn’t pick up this Song dick if I saw it dropped on the roadside.
He asked me to look at it, so I turned on the car roof light, picked up a copper coin and looked at the light.
"well?"
"Damn it, why does the facial tattoo look like a thin gold body style!!"
I was startled and shouted loudly, "Botou! This is not a copper coin made by Zhao Kuangyi in this dynasty! This seems to be a Taiping Tongbao made by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty!"
Thin gold style is a kind of money calligraphy created by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. The overall writing style is elegant and handsome. Among them, Chongning Tongbao copper coins and Daguan folded ten copper coins are the representative ones. If it is Taiping Tongbao cast in the early Song Dynasty, it will never be used in the late Song Dynasty.
Thin gold calligraphy just appeared!
He nodded and said, "It should be the coins of the former dynasty minted by the later dynasties. These Taiping coins are not circulating coins. They were specially made at that time. They imply peace and peace. They are a kind of commemorative and auspicious money."
Tai Ping Tong Bao with a thin golden face and tattoos, let me ask who has seen it?
I was overjoyed, I was making a lot of money now.
Don’t talk about four yuan a piece! I don’t want to sell it for four thousand yuan! It’s the only one in the world! Maybe we have it!
I heard the leader say, "I saw a similar gold-swallowing beast in Inner Mongolia in the early years, but that one was smaller, and that one also had this kind of auspicious money hidden in its belly."
I nodded, no wonder I knew there was something hidden in this thing's belly, so that was it.
the next day.
We planned to go into the mountains at night and camp in the mountains. There is a big temperature difference in the mountains, so we had to prepare enough food and warm utensils. Our original inventory was not enough. So early in the morning, Brother Yu drove with Xiaoxuan to go shopping. I was alone.
People were collecting coins in the room.
Mainly counting and taking photos. At the last count, there were more than 2,800 pieces! The total weight was more than 20 kilograms!
I searched a lot of information on the Internet, but I couldn't find any literature about this "thin gold body" Taiping! I only found a "running script Taiping Tongbao" in Guquan Pu, but it was made of silver and was used as palace money.
It's different from mine.
Looking at a table of golden copper coins, I fell into deep thought.
Hundreds of years ago, Lu Wende was the supreme commander in Huangshi, Hubei Province. This man was very talented in military matters. He participated in the famous "Duan Ping Entering Luo" incident. However, unofficial history said that this man was very greedy for money and often withheld military pay. He served as an official for several years.
His family is extremely rich, and the nine money cellars on Xisai Mountain were buried by Lu Wende. This is just a legend and speculation, and there is no actual evidence to prove it.
It’s different now. If I can prove that this gold-swallowing beast was cast under Lu Wende’s order, it will undoubtedly confirm the unofficial legend!
I turned over and over, looking over inch by inch, but I was surprised not to find a single word of the inscription!
After much thought, I decided to call for help and find an expert.
I originally wanted to look at Meimei from Mei Qian Pavilion, but then I thought about it, why would I want to look at her after she has already blocked me? Am I cheap? Besides, I know experts who are even better than Meimei.
After looking through the old mobile phone address book for a long time, I finally found a string of mobile phone numbers without names, and I called them directly.
"Hello."
"Brother Zhi! Me! Do you still remember me? Xiang Yunfeng!"
"Brother Xiang, of course I remember you, why did you suddenly call me when you remembered?"
"Brother Zhi, I recently got a copper coin that I can't quite understand, and I want you to help me control my eyes."
"Haha, there is something in this world that your Northern Divine Eye Peak cannot understand? I happen to be free now, so please send it over."
I immediately sent a MMS message.
Very open, less than two minutes later, Kuroshiki called back.
"This is the second time I have seen this coin. A few coins were issued in our Wuchang area more than ten years ago. Where did you get the money? Do you think it is Huizong's later coinage? Or do you think it is a folk coin minted by Huaiping?"
I frowned and thought for a while and said, both are possible, but I'm not sure yet.
On the other end of the phone, Kuroshou said in a deep voice, "Brother, you and I have different opinions. I think there is a third possibility."
"What?"
"The official coins of the Southern Song Dynasty! Let me ask you, do you have this strange money?" Did you get it in the south? In Jiangxi or Hubei! And there is a high probability that you won't get one, but a batch, right?"
"Yes, Brother Zhi! I rely on you! You can guess all this!"
"What are you guessing? Knowledge is power, don't you understand? After the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty moved south, and many craftsmen who made money prisons moved there with them. After the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty, there were Yongping Prison, Yongfeng Prison, and Guangning County.
Jian, Feng Guo Jian, Shenquan Jian and Ganzhou Qian Jian. Among them, Shenquan Jian specially cast a batch of these things. They are not for circulation, but for rewards. I speculate that they were awarded by the emperor to meritorious generals and ministers."
"Where did the stuff come from? Stop hiding it. Why don't you tell me the truth and keep it a secret?"
I chuckled and said, "Brother Zhi, your sharp eyes are so powerful. Yes, I made a batch of them, and now I'm in Huangshi."
"Yellowstone? Don't fucking tell me! Did you get it on Mount Xisai?"
I directly admitted that it was, because if we dig out a large quantity in the future, only the Siping Gang in China may be able to eat our goods, so it doesn't matter if we let Blackhand know in advance to let him be mentally prepared.
"Have you dug the legendary money cellar in Xisai Mountain?"
"not yet!"
"I didn't find you to say xx."
I briefly talked about how this batch of Taiping Tongbao came from.
The sound of a lighter sounded on the other end.
Just listen to Black Hand Zhidao: "Brother, thank you for telling me the truth in advance today. You are really not afraid of death. Did you know that Mount Xisai is the territory of Jiangxi guys? Did you go over to find the cellar and say hello to others?"
"Bullshit Jiangxi guys," I also lit a cigarette and said, "They are nothing, Xisai Mountain is as big as a mountain! If he says it's theirs, it's theirs? I even said it's mine!"
"Brother Niubi! I admire your courage, Brother Zhi, if you dare to say this. Then you can search slowly. If you find it, I will come to buy you with 100 million in cash! Haha, that's it. I have something else to do first.
Bye."
It can be heard from the tone of voice on the phone that Blackhand does not believe that we can find the legendary seventh money vault.
His words a little irritated me, and I had to find it and show it to him.
