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

"Then what is this?" Scar asked, shaking his brain melon seeds beside him, "It looks weird, but it's pretty good-looking.

Chen Yang looked at Scar with a smile, picked up a small piece and put it in his hand, "You can understand that it was the currency used for transactions during the Chu Kingdom!"

Ying Yuan, also known as Yin Zijin, or gold version, version gold, etc., is a gold coin issued by Chu State during the Warring States Period, and is also the earliest primitive gold coinage in my country. Chu gold coins are generally called Yuan gold. Yuanjin is the earliest gold currency discovered and recorded in China. Most of this kind of gold coins are square in shape. They are made by printing many marks on a gold plate. The content is the seal script "Ying Yuan", so it is called Yinzi gold.

"Ying" is the name of the capital of Chu State, and "爰" is the unit of currency weight. The names of gold coins of Chu State are mainly based on the characters engraved on them, such as "Ying Yuan", "Chen Yuan", "Rong Yuan", "Lu Jin" Among them, "Ying Yuan" is the most unearthed one.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, King Wen of Chu established his capital in Ying, which is now Ji Nancheng in Jiangling County. The ancient document "Jing Ji Zhuan Ji" records that "Yuan" is "Change" and "Yi Ye", and "Xiaoerya·Guang Ji" also records: "Yuan, Yi Ye." Therefore, Ying Yuan should be the name of Chu State Ying It is made of capital and has the function of a trading medium.

The territory under the jurisdiction of the Chu State at that time had always been a gold-producing land in ancient times. Its gold reserves and output were beyond the reach of other vassal states. "Guanzi Light and Heavy Armor" records: "Chu has the gold of Ruhan." "Warring States Policy·Chu Policy" records: "Gold, pearls, rhinoceros and elephants come from Chu."

It is also recorded in "Warring States Policy: Chu Ce": "Golden pearls, rhinos and elephants came from Chu." Because Chu State had such superior conditions at that time, it was able to mint gold and silver coins. Not only that, according to our country, in 1974, unearthed in Zhongcheng Village There are 392 gold coins and a Ying Yuan with a total weight of 8183 grams. In 3, a Ying Yuan was unearthed in Huayuan Village, Shouxian County. In 1979, a Ying Yuan was also unearthed in Yingcheng, Jiangling. Judging from the gold content of these Chu gold coins, The amount varies, generally between 1971-94%, and the minimum gold content is only about 98%, which shows how abundant the Chu State's gold reserves were at that time.

Everyone gathered around Chen Yang and Song Qingyun to watch. Scar held a small piece of Ying Yuan in his hand and looked at it, pursed his lips and thought, "Boss Chen, isn't it? If this thing was the currency in circulation at that time, then Chu Chinese people are quite rich!”

"Everyone takes gold with them when they go out. Is it impossible?"

"How is that possible!" Song Qingyun said from the side, "This thing can't reach the hands of ordinary people at all. It was used by the upper class at that time!"

At that time, the circulation of gold was limited to the upper class, and was only used for international appointments, lobbying princes, rewards from kings, and large-scale transactions. This is my country's earliest primitive gold coinage. Its gold content is more than 90%, and the quality can reach 99%. Ordinary people? How could there be a chance to use it?

Scar nodded after hearing this. Zhenfeng reached out and took it over to take a look at it. This thing is very beautiful, but how can you use it to buy things? If I buy a piece of pig head, I will give someone a whole piece of gold? Wouldn't that mean you've lost your money?

Chen Yang picked up a large piece in his hand and explained to a few people, "Did you see the small grids on it? When using it, cut the gold plate or gold cake into small pieces as needed, and then Weigh using a specific equal-arm balance."

Then pick up the narrowest piece, which is what was left during the transaction. And whenever this kind of thing can be used for transactions, it is almost all in bulk transactions. A few large pieces of Ying Yuan are used. When the weight is not enough, small pieces are cut off to make up for the weight.

"You still want to buy pig head meat?" Chen Yang smiled and curled his lips, "You don't even need this thing when buying pig head meat!"

"With this thing, let alone buying pig head meat, you can buy other people's pig pens!"

In Chen Yang's memory, the value of this thing was not high. He remembered that an auction house in later generations had auctioned this thing. It seemed that the highest price was only a few hundred thousand, and it even failed to sell.

But the historical and cultural value of this thing is extremely high. It is the product of the developed economy of the Chu State and a symbol of the commercial prosperity of the Chu State. It was conceived in the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period and came into being in the late Spring and Autumn Period. It did not gradually die out until the middle of the Western Han Dynasty and survived for about four hundred years. It is a very influential gold currency in the history of Chinese currency. Before the Eastern Han Dynasty, gold currency was popular and played a great role in transactions; after the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the increase in silver production, it gradually became an important means of payment in the form of silver cakes or silver ingots until the emergence of the silver dollar in the late Qing Dynasty. Therefore, the "Ying Yuan" gold coin has extremely important historical and cultural value among ancient currencies.

But what excites Song Qingyun and Chen Yang is that this Ying Yuan is the currency of the Chu Kingdom, which means that this object should appear in the Central Plains. Its appearance here now means that there are other things in this mountain temple. The object, I just don’t know where it is hidden, the map is correct!

"Don't move, put your things down for grandpa!"

While Chen Yang and Song Qingyun were holding Ying Yuan to study, Ma Sanye held a hundred-type submachine gun in one hand and pointed the muzzle at everyone. Chen Yang had discovered something just now. Everyone was curious and looked over. Zhenfeng put the submachine gun aside. While everyone was watching the fun, Ma Sanye also took Zhenfeng's gun over. Except for Song Qingyun, everyone else had put the stuff in their hands beside them, and it was too late to take it now.

"Third Master, what do you mean by this?" Song Qingyun looked at Mr. Ma, his face turned cold, and his hand slowly touched the 81 pole behind his back, "It seems we haven't offended you, right?"

"That's right, Third Master," Chen Yang glanced at his submachine gun. Although it was not far from him, in this situation, if you want to get it, you can't get it. You might have to take a shuttle, "If you always want to We just give this to you, why bother?"

"Old man!" Scar glared and pointed at Mr. Ma, "I said, why didn't you give me back the guy just now? It turned out that you were holding it in and causing trouble! I tell you, put the guy down quickly, what do we men think? Never happened!”

Mr. Ma Sanye sneered at the corner of his mouth, "Just you? Bah!" As he spoke, he shook the thing in his hand, and suddenly it rang twice in the direction of the prawn. It turned out that the prawn was about to secretly get his own Guy, the old man saw it.

"I'm telling you, little devil! Don't move. I'm old and my eyesight is dim. It won't be good if I hurt anyone!"

Little devil? Everyone looked at each other, and then couldn't help but laugh at the same time. Chen Yang stood up and explained that he was Chen Guohua's son, how could he be a little devil? I am an authentic Chinese.

The corner of Ma Sanye's mouth twitched, "Boy, do you think that if you can speak our words and wear our clothes, you are one of ours? Let me tell you, I am always old, but I am not confused!"

Then Mr. Ma waved the thing in his hand and said to Chen Yang and others, "What is this? This guy is a kid from World War II, a beggar trap!"

"How dare you say that the guy holding the little devil is not a little devil!"

After hearing what Mr. Ma said, Song Qingyun and Chen Yang looked at each other. No wonder Mr. Ma regarded his group as little devils. It turned out that he knew this guy. With what he said just now, the old man didn't believe it at all. , have been waiting for the opportunity to control people like themselves!

Ma Sanye said that since they came for the things belonging to their ancestors, they would be embarrassed to run into him. He put the things down and tied each other up, maybe he could spare their lives.

"Third Master, we are really not little devils," Chen Yang said with a wry smile, "I am really Chen Guohua's son, an upright Chinese, that's what it is."

Chen Yang explained to Mr. Ma. After listening, Mr. Ma laughed and pointed his gun at Chen Yang, "You little bastard, you are really good at making up lies!"

"You sell antiques, and you accidentally picked up a treasure map. Later, your father Chen Guohua told you that it was the location of the Niutoushan Temple, haha!" Mr. Ma spat fiercely at Chen Yang, "Bah! "

"I'm over 70 this year. You're trying to fool me into thinking I'm a fool. Wait a minute and I'll give you a shot first!"

Then Ma Sanye pointed at Chen Yang and cursed him. As for his skills, he had seen them when he was young. The kid dressed up as a Chinese, collected antiques everywhere, and finally brought these things to their country. The guy with the little devil in his hand knew so much about the old things that he knew exactly what they were doing when he heard it just now!

"You keep calling Chen Guohua's son. Not only is Chen Guohua your father, but all of us Chinese are your father! I tell you little devils that I didn't let you succeed before, and you can't succeed today either!"

"Be honest with me, or else I'll go down here, old man, and let you go accompany your bullshit emperor!"

Chen Yang and Song Qingyun looked at each other. Listening to this, Master Ma knew something! But now it's obvious that he regards people like himself as little devils. Why don't he call his father? No, there is no signal at all in this mountain. When I entered the mountain before, I saw Big Brother and there was no signal at all. How can I make him believe me now?

"Third Master, I can prove that he is Chen Guohua's son and one of our own!" Song Qingyun glanced at Chen Yang and shouted to Third Master Ma.

After Song Qingyun finished speaking, Chen Yang was stunned. I can't prove it myself, but you can? This is an eternal problem. It will be used in future generations to prove that my father is my father and I am my father. It has stumped many people. Can you prove that this is not a joke?
