"Han Xing, didn't you say that many of your classmates have come here? Why didn't you see them?" Han Peacock said as he walked.
Han Xing said: "They went fishing in the reservoir to the north. You will see them at noon." Han Xing said helplessly.
His classmates were used to being free and undisciplined, not to mention that Han Kongque was not their boss yet, so they had no intention of waiting for the boss, and now they asked the boss to wait for them.
"Mr. Han, do you think this is here?" Li Xin pointed to a piece of land under his feet and said confidently. Although it was a question, it was more like an affirmation.
Han Peacock sensed the water around him and discovered that the underground fault was indeed the small fault he had seen before. There were two water veins up and down here. As long as they were connected, the spring at Zhenshui Temple would immediately produce water.
"That's it." Han Peacock said.
Li Xindao: "If we read correctly, there is only one place where these two water veins are connected. As long as this place is staggered, at most one water vein can be reached, and the two water veins cannot be connected.
Alright?"
Han Kongque said: "Master Li is indeed well-deserved."
"Come on, come on, we're all set. Just drill a hole at this point. Don't make a mistake." Qian Da directed the drilling team to quickly reach the designated position.
The machine for drilling a well is a drilling rig, supported by a tripod, and an ordinary drill bit driven by a diesel engine.
The depth of three meters is really not difficult on the surface. It didn't even take five minutes to drill through.
"There's water." The master who drove the drilling rig was a very experienced man, and he knew it was water just by feeling.
"Diamond lift."
"It's really only three meters!"
"It's really amazing."
"Water will come out within three meters. If someone were to dig a well, please take a look at it, Mr. Han and Master Li. Wouldn't they be 100% sure to get water?"
Some of the surrounding villagers who came to watch the excitement began to talk. Some villagers were as excited as if he had tapped the acupuncture points, and they were even happier than Han Kongque and Li Xin.
Based on the drawings provided by Han Kongque, Li Xin pointed out three water veins on the surface one after another, and they were exactly the same as the locations marked by Han Kongque.
This made Han Kongque completely relieved. It seemed that Li Xin was really capable.
Han Kongque himself did so because he has the magical power to control water. As long as there is water, he can sense it. This is actually not much different from seeing the situation underground.
But Li Xin relied on his real ability to find the location of the underground water veins. Although Han Kongque's drawings provided some help, the drawings and the reality are completely different things. Based on Han Kongque's tips, he could accurately find the location.
, which is already considered very awesome.
"Mr. Han, there are already people waiting impatiently in the village. Why don't we go back first? Master Li forgets everything when he gets busy. We can't pull him back." Qian Zhongshu said.
Han Peacock asked strangely: "What are the people in the village waiting for me for?"
"Hey," Qian Zhongshu said a little embarrassedly: "Didn't Mr. Han take those things from my house last time? When the people in the village heard about it, they went home and dug out all the old things in their house.
I would like to ask Mr. Han to take a look."
"Oh! That's right! I just want it. If there are good things, will they sell them?" Han Peacock asked with a smile.
"Of course, if you don't want to sell it, why bother asking Mr. Han to see it." Qian Zhongshu said matter-of-factly.
"Then I'll go take a look." Han Peacock said with a smile.
After handing over the work to Li Xin, Han Kongque was relieved and wanted to go back to Taobao to pick up the missing items.
Before they returned to Zhenshui Temple, they heard huge cheers, which came from the construction site on the other side of Zhenshui Temple.
"What's going on?" Han Peacock asked.
Soon Han Xing learned about the situation and came back to report. Han Xing said excitedly: "Brother, the spring at Zhenshui Temple has water, and the water flow is very large."
"Well, has the filling equipment arrived?" Han Kongque said.
Han Xing said: "The installation has been completed, but the factory building has not been constructed yet."
"Collect some of it and send it to relevant institutions for testing, and pack the rest. As long as hygiene can be ensured, all the water in the buckets will be sent to the Magic City Hotel," Han Kongque said.
Han Xing was stunned and said: "Brother, let's wait until the test report comes out before delivering it!"
"No, there should be no problem with this water. Even if the water in this initial stage is at best weak in potency, this kind of water is still top quality compared to ordinary mineral water.
Now we need to pump out the groundwater as much as possible to allow the entire underground water to flow. As time goes by, the water coming out of the spring will get better and better." Han Kongque explained.
Knowing Han Peacock's purpose, Han Xing immediately started making arrangements.
When Han Kongque walked into the Qianjiajiao brigade headquarters, there were already many old people waiting for him. As soon as they saw Han Kongque coming, they immediately surrounded him.
Seeing this situation, Qian Zhongshu shouted quickly: "You don't have to worry, as long as the goods are good, Boss Han will definitely accept them."
After saying that, Qian Zhongshu glanced at Han Kongque, fearing that he would be dissatisfied.
Han Kongque said with a smile: "Yes, as long as it is genuine, I will accept anything. As long as you are not afraid that I will trick you."
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Mr. Han, take a look at the bowl I have at home first." Before Han Peacock could stop, an old man handed over a rusty bowl in his hand.
Han Peacock didn't take it, but he could tell that the bowl was naturally coated with pulp and should be genuine.
"Wait a minute, wait until Mr. Han sits down before you get your things." Qian Zhongshu shouted twice, but no one paid him any attention.
These people were very dissatisfied with him. The last time Han Kongque came, he only bought his own things and did not leave a way for the villagers!
Seeing that his words had no effect, Qian Zhongshu immediately protected Han Kongque and made him sit under a big tree in the yard of the brigade headquarters, where the sun was out of reach.
After sitting down, Han Peacock immediately took the copper bowl: "Come one by one, I can't run away anyway. Don't worry, everyone."
When Han Kongque said this, some old people crowded around him all started laughing.
In fact, this is just the cunning of some old people. They are all afraid that after Han Peacock collects enough things, he will not collect the rest.
Qian Zhongshu understood the thoughts of these people, so he said: "Mr. Han is the big boss and he has a lot of money. How much are the rags you brought worth? Don't be afraid that Mr. Han can't afford it."
"What are you talking about? Even if ours are rags, they are no worse than those at your house." An old man said.
"Uncle Third, it's just because I know the ones in my house are junk. That's why I didn't show them out to show my shame." Qian Zhongshu said with a smile.
The old man's expression was stagnant. He immediately reacted: "Don't make trouble here, let Comrade Xiao Han give us a good appraisal. My grandson has said several times that this copper bowl is a good thing. It's just that I never handed it over.
He took it out and sold it."
Han Kongque didn't care what they said. He looked carefully at the copper bowl in his hand. There were no words on the copper bowl, but there were spiral patterns inside the bowl. When tapped lightly, it made a sound like an ancient bell, and it trembled. The sound quality was crisp and clear!
There are spiral patterns in the copper bowl, which are traces of lathe turning. China's machine-cast daily necessities were first used during the Tongzhi and Guangxu years and were followed until the early years of the Republic of China.
Copper bowls are generally not used as daily utensils in daily life, but are mostly used for sacrifices or as decorations on shrines. The coating of this copper bowl is thick and well-proportioned, and there is no copper smell. Korean Peacock can basically conclude that it is genuine.
Generally speaking, the copper bowls of the Qing Dynasty have relatively exquisite and complex patterns, but exceptions are not excluded. Since the copper bowls have no patterns, from a conservative point of view, it can be said to be a vessel from the early Republic of China, or at most to the late Qing Dynasty, so
This copper bowl is of little value.
"Uncle, this is a copper bowl from the Republic of China. Of course, since there are no patterns or other things to prove its origin, it may be a copper bowl from the late Qing Dynasty. This copper bowl is a real thing. There are not many left in the world now. It is
It's a good thing, keep it well!" Han Peacock appraised it quickly and gave the answer before the old man and Qian Zhongshu finished speaking.
"Is it really a good thing?" the old man said happily.
Seeing the old man's appearance, Qian Zhongshu smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle San, it's a real thing, but it's not valuable. You should keep it by yourself!"
"How can a good thing be worthless?" the old man said.
Han Kongque and Qian Zhongshu smiled bitterly at the same time, Qian Zhongshu said: "Uncle Third, these are from the Republic of China, at most they were made in the late Qing Dynasty. They don't have patterns on them, so they are not exquisitely made. Such copper bowls are not valuable."
Seeing that the old man didn't believe it, Han Kongque said: "If it is an exquisite copper bowl with patterns, the one from the Republic of China is only worth four to five hundred yuan at most. Yours is only worth one hundred yuan at most."
"One hundred? One hundred is a lot. Sell it." Han Kongque originally thought that the old man would be disappointed, but he didn't expect that after Han Kongque said it was worth a hundred yuan, the old man actually burst into laughter.
Han Peacock looked ashamed: "Old man, do you need to discuss this with your family?"
The old man said: "No, this bowl was dug out of me when I was working in the fields when I was young. I can take charge of it."
"Han Xing, give me the money." Han Peacock had no choice but to put the bowl aside and put it away carefully.
In fact, Han Peacock really doesn't want to accept such a copper bowl, but this is still a collection category, so if you accept it, you will accept it.
After receiving the copper bowl, Han Peacock casually recorded the price and characteristics of the bowl, so that it could be kept as a certification document in the future to avoid any quarrels with the villagers here.
"Third uncle, please go to the other side. It's my turn." Behind the old man, a middle-aged man was anxious.
Han Kongque took a look at the thing in his hand. It was another piece of bronze, but it was not a good thing. Just the simple and patternless appearance showed that it was an ordinary thing among the people.
Han Peacock picked up the copper incense burner from the table and commented directly: "It should be from the Republic of China period, brass, plain surface. This is a typical double-eared copper incense burner in the early Republic of China. The base is 'Made in the Xuande Year of the Ming Dynasty', with old pulp."
, well-preserved, with a few dents in parts, and the price is between 8,000 and 15,000. If it were sold to me, I would pay up to 8,000."
"Eight thousand? Sold?" The middle-aged man immediately became happy when he heard Han Peacock's offer.
Han Peacock looked at him doubtfully, said nothing, and motioned to Han Xing to pay.
Qian Zhongshu whispered to the side: "He has taken this incense burner to the Magic City several times, but no one has offered more than a thousand yuan."
Han Kongque immediately knew that this middle-aged man would be so happy. It turned out that he had already found someone to look at it. No wonder he didn't object to the price he offered.
His situation was exposed by Qian Zhongshu, and the middle-aged man was a little embarrassed: "The people in big cities are too bad. It's obviously a good thing, but they just don't want to pay more. This thing of mine has a history of seventy or eighty years."
, but they only gave me three to five hundred, and they just treated me like a beggar."
"Brother, we don't have much cash." After giving the money to this middle-aged man, Han Kongque didn't have much cash in his hand. He only had 10,000 yuan in cash. Han Xing had even less, only a few thousand yuan.
"Let Lao Zhang withdraw hundreds of thousands in cash. If there is really good stuff, we will transfer the money. Don't crowd. We will take our time one by one. You have all seen it. We don't have much cash, so we have to go to the bank to withdraw it.
So don't be anxious." Han Kongque said.
Next was a little girl. She held a handful of silver coins in her hand and placed them on the table. Han Peacock counted them and found that there were eleven coins in total.
He picked up a typical Yuan Datou, which was a one-yuan silver coin with the image of Yuan Shikai in the 10th year of the Republic of China. The price of a Yuan Datou like this is around 1,000 to 1,500 yuan.
Han Peacock looked at seven or eight pieces at random, and they were all in good condition. It was obvious that the little girl had preserved them very well and with great care.
At this time, Han Kongque was a little confused. Although the things brought by these villagers were not of high value, they were all genuine. Such a scene was really rare in the collecting world.
But when Han Kongque thought about it, he understood a little bit. After all, this is not a big city. These are the villagers of Qianjiajiao. The things they bring out are usually passed down from their ancestors.
Even if they have not been passed down for a long time, they are still old things. Therefore, although the quality of the things Han Peacock encounters here is not high, they are all genuine.
"This is Yuan Datou. I think you should know that the price of such a Yuan Datou is between one thousand yuan and one thousand five hundred yuan. Because the price of this thing is transparent, and yours is well preserved. If you sell it
If so, I will calculate it for you based on 1,500 yuan." Han Kongque said with satisfaction as he looked at the dozen silver coins in his hand.
Although the girl is young, she must know the price of her things, so when she heard the price quoted by Han Kongque, she nodded very wisely.
However, the little girl still had some objections: "There is one below that is different from the one above. I don't think you noticed it."
"Well? There's another one that's different? You see what I'm doing is really not very professional, haha. After all, I'm not a professional appraiser, but I didn't notice it." After saying that, Han Kongque began to look seriously.
Look through them one by one.
"Huh? This one is really different." Han Kongque became curious when he saw such a brand-new silver coin.
"Is this a bamboo coin?" Han Peacock took a closer look and was immediately surprised.
"Bamboo coins? Are you talking about the bamboos on the silver coins?" the little girl said.
"Yes, it's because of these bamboo branches that this silver coin is called a bamboo coin." Han Kongque said.
"Mr. Han is really knowledgeable and can recognize everything he sees." Qian Zhongshu complimented with a smile.
Han Kongque said: "It's not that I am so knowledgeable, but that this bamboo coin is so famous. It's hard for me not to know about such a precious coin!"
"Ah? Cherish?" Qian Zhongshu looked at the shimmering silver bamboo coin in surprise. The word "cherish" came out of Han Peacock's mouth, which means it is expensive!
It's not that Han Kongque is so noble and doesn't want to hide the price of this bamboo coin, but that he can't hide it at all. Since this is a special silver coin, it is naturally very noticeable. Even if the little girl doesn't know it, her family
He must also know.
This kind of bamboo coin was minted by Guizhou Province in 1949. It is called "Guizhou Bamboo Branch Silver Coin" or "Jiaxiu Tower Bamboo Silver Coin" in China. This kind of silver coin is very famous abroad, where it is called bambo lverdollar.
.
This kind of silver coin was cast by the Guizhou Mint in mid-October 1949. Except for the parts left over from the Zhouxicheng period, most of the machinery and equipment used were purchased by Zhu Maicang, manager of the Guizhou Product Company, in Guangzhou.
manage.
The purchased equipment and the technicians being recruited arrived in Guiyang in July of that year, and trial casting began in mid-October.
It was less than a month from the approval of the official casting to November 11, when most of the mint personnel evacuated Guiyangzhi after hearing that the People's Liberation Army had entered Tianzhu County, Guiyang Prefecture, and production started.
"Guizhou Bamboo Branch Silver Coin" has a pattern of Jiaxiu Tower in Guiyang City in the center of the front, "Thirty-Eight Years of the Republic of China" is cast on the upper edge of the outer ring, and the words "Made in Guizhou Province" are cast on the lower edge, both in regular script.
The left and right ends are slightly engraved with a five-petal flower pattern on the lower side, and the back is a pattern of three golden bamboos. This is because Guiyang City was called "Golden Bamboo Mansion" in the Song Dynasty. When the city was founded in 1942, the first mayor He Jiwuhuan
The golden bamboo is the city emblem.
The word "One Yuan" in regular script is engraved on the left and right sides of the silver coin. This coin has a short minting period and a small minting amount, so it rarely survives. According to the memories of mechanics from the Guizhou Mint who participated in the transfer to the Military Control Commission of the People's Liberation Army, the factory originally planned to
The average output is 500 pieces. Based on this calculation, the casting amount should be about 10,000 pieces.
The currency was once circulated by Kuomintang fans in Guizhou and provincial government officials on the eve of the liberation of Guizhou on their way from Guiyang to Yunnan during the rout.
It’s less than a month.
After the release, most of them were scattered among the people in Guizhou, Yunnan, and some areas along the Yunnan-Guizhou Highway in the south. Some were taken to Hong Kong, Taiwan and abroad by officials of the Nationalist Party.
In addition to the "golden bamboo" that expresses strong regional cultural characteristics, the "Guizhou Bamboo Branch Silver Coin" also has the character "Gu" hidden in the surname of Gu Zhenglun, Chairman of the Guizhou Provincial Government, in the main entrance of the Jiaxiu Tower pattern on the face of the coin.
The English letters tlk below represent the English abbreviation of Xie Jiemin, the director of the mint. It can be said that this coinage method is already very advanced. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
