Rebirth 93: Break off the engagement at the beginning and marry Bai Fumei

Qin Haofeng lowered his head and smiled. Brother Yang's reaction was so quick. Why didn't he think of it?A third-grade official, not to mention leaving some porcelain, jade, calligraphy and painting, etc., at least some gold ingots, silver ingots, emerald agate, how could he only have copper coins?

After listening to what Chen Yang said, the uncle also began to doubt whether his ancestor was a third-grade official. If he was really a third-grade official, why was there only a pile of broken copper coins left behind.

"Uncle, let me tell you the truth," Chen Yang played with a black copper coin in his hand, "Most of your coins are real, and they are too single. Almost all of them are from the Guangxu period."

"In addition to poor maintenance, the value is not high. But fortunately, the patterns are very regular. We can keep them, clean them, and put them on the counter. It can be used as a storefront."

Hearing what Chen Yang meant, he was planning to buy it, and the uncle had a cheerful look on his face.The people who went to the village to collect used goods before said they were fake without saying a word.They are not even willing to pay the price. Sometimes if I ask a few questions, they will just push the cart away, not wanting to waste time by accepting it.

"Then how much can you give?" The uncle asked Chen Feng tentatively, "You see, after all, I came all the way, and I didn't even go into other people's homes to ask. I just walked into your home, which means we are destined. You Give me a suitable price and I’ll sell it to you.”

Chen Yang lowered his head and thought for a while, "Okay, uncle, if you calculate it at two yuan a piece, I estimate that there are about a hundred or so of them here. How about I give you two hundred yuan?"

Hearing that Chen Yang wanted two hundred yuan, Qin Haofeng glanced at Chen Yang curiously.Brother Yang can give such a high price, which means there is good stuff in it, but why didn't he see it?

After hearing the price quoted by Chen Yang, the uncle shook his head like a rattle, "No, that's too little. What can two hundred yuan be enough for?"

"Well, I'll give in. Just this pile, how about you give me five hundred yuan?"

Chen Yang looked at the copper coins on the table, then frowned and pondered for a while, and finally nodded, "Okay, as you said, it's not easy for you to come here. I want all the five hundred yuan!"

"Okay, okay," the uncle smiled from ear to ear when he heard Chen Yang agreed to the price.After all, when I was in the village, the junk collectors didn't want these broken coins. Now that I can sell them for [-] yuan, I obviously made a profit.

Looking at the five hundred yuan that Qin Haofeng handed him, the uncle carefully put the money away and said, "Okay, let's clear the money and goods. If there are any old things found at home in the future, I will definitely come to you first."

After sending the uncle away, Qin Haofeng and Zhu Zhu gathered around Chen Yang. They looked through the pile of black copper coins and said, "Brother, tell us, are there any valuable things in here?"

Chen Yang looked at the smiling expressions on the two people's faces and couldn't help but smile and shake his head, pushing the coins towards the two of them, "Take a closer look and see what you can find."

These two people have been following him for so long, and they have already discovered the pattern.As long as they don't play according to common sense, even though they can't understand it, they know that there is definitely something good.

Just like this pile of copper coins, they look tattered and no one is collecting them, but they can spend 500 yuan to collect them, knowing that there must be something good in them.

Qin Haofeng and Zhu Zhu looked at the copper coins. After a while, they took out two copper coins from the pile of copper coins. They looked at Chen Yang and asked, "Brother, are they these two coins?"

Most of this pile of copper coins are round and square-hole coins, which are common copper coins. Most of this pile of copper coins are square-hole coins, but there are two that are different. There are no Hole, the scientific name is copper coin, commonly known as copper plate.

Chen Yang looked at the two of them with a smile and took the copper yuan from their hands. "Remember, this is called copper yuan, which is the copper plate we often talk about in TV dramas."

After speaking, he pointed to a pile of copper coins and continued, "Although most of them are Guangxu Tongbao, the value of these copper coins and copper plates is different, especially these two, which are simply priceless."

"This is the copper plate," Qin Haofeng held it in his hand and looked at it curiously, "Brother, why are these two so valuable?"

Chen Yang placed the two copper coins in his hand on the table and explained to the two of them, "Copper coins are the general name for various new copper coins minted since the late Qing Dynasty. They were born in the 15th year of Guangxu's reign in the Qing Dynasty and are the beginning of machine-made coins in the history of Chinese coins. .The birth of the copper dollar marks the historical benchmark for my country's metal currency to move from traditional manual sand casting to machine-made production!"

"Remember, this kind of copper plate only appeared in the 15th year of Guangxu, that is, after 1869. If one day you find one earlier than the 15th year of Guangxu, you will know it is a fake without even looking."

Qin Haofeng and Zhu Zhu nodded beside them, while Qin Haofeng took a pen and memorized every word.Chen Yang pointed to a copper coin, "Look at the words on this copper coin."

Zhuzi and Qin Haofeng lay on the table and watched carefully. The copper coins were covered with black and dirty mud. Zhuzi wiped them hard with his hand a few times and could barely read the words on them.

"Brother, it says "Made in Gulin Province" on it, but I can't see the other parts clearly."

"Brother, there is a word "ugly" on it," Qin Haofeng grinned. "This copper plate looks quite ugly. The person who cast it was really foresighted!"

Chen Yang raised his hand and hit Qin Haofeng on the head, "Uncle Chou, that means Xin Chou Nian. Didn't you see the word "Xin" on the other side?"

Qin Haofeng rubbed his head with one hand while looking at Tong Yuan carefully. Zhu Zhu continued to ask from the side, "Brother, why is it printed with "Made in Gulin Province"? Shouldn't general coins be minted in the south?

"This is the valuable place," Chen Yang looked at the two people and said, "In the 24th year of Guangxu's reign, the original Gulin Machinery Bureau was transformed into the Silver Dollar Bureau, which was used to cast Guangxu Yuanbao and silver treasures. In the 28th year of Guangxu's reign, it was again in the Silver Dollar Bureau Start casting copper coins."

Having said this, Chen Yang signaled Qin Haofeng to take over a perpetual calendar, reached out to look through it, and finally found the year of the 28th year of Guangxu, which was 1902.

"Did you see that 1902 was the year of Renyin and 1901 was the year of Xin Chou," Chen Yang asked the two of them. "I just said that in 1902, the Gulin Silver Coin Bureau began to cast copper coins, and this copper coin is stamped If you wear Xinchou, it means it was made in 1901. What does it mean?"

Qin Haofeng looked at the perpetual calendar and then at the copper coin, "Does this mean the copper plate was printed incorrectly?"

"Sample!" Zhu Zhu thought for a moment, "It means this is a sample made before minting!"

"Smart!" Chen Yang smiled and patted Zhu Zhu on the shoulder. Zhu Zhu knew that he was right and couldn't help but grin at Qin Haofeng.

Then Chen Yang hit Qin Haofeng, "You have the smartest brain, why can't you keep up with Zhuzi in this regard? I'm confused too!"

As he spoke, he placed the copper coin in Qin Haofeng's holy hand, "Keep it well, that's why it's valuable!"
