Reborn in the 60s, starting with going to the mountains and countryside

Chapter 548 Big Dragon Stamp

Time flies, and a week passes quietly. In the past few days, Li Waner and Tang Zilan talked about Ye Hao's idea of ​​getting together. Tang Zilan agreed with the proposal. When she learned that Zuo Lei had been dismissed, Tang Zilan, who had a hot temper, almost I wanted to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to discuss with the leaders inside, but fortunately I was stopped by Li Waner.

If Tang Zilan rushes in to argue, Tang Zilan will be punished regardless of whether it is reasonable or not.

Although Tang Zilan was stopped by Li Waner, she was still worried about this matter.

It's not a direct date to make an appointment to come to Ye Hao's small courtyard to get together on the rest day. Originally, we were going to the place where she and Sun Chaoshu live. In the end, I saw that there were many people there, and it was inconvenient to talk about many things. , and then settled in Ye Hao's small courtyard.

Isn't this the advantage of a separate courtyard? There are no secrets in large courtyards in this era. The sound insulation is almost zero. If the young couple does something at night, if they let it go, the whole courtyard can probably hear it.

Although what they discussed this time was not an important secret, it could not be easily heard by others.

Tang Zilan originally wanted to give Ye Hao some money to prepare a table of meals, but Ye Hao refused. How dare he accept money for such a thing, so he refused the money directly.

After getting up in the morning and finishing breakfast, Ye Hao went out to buy groceries after talking to Li Waner.

I used to think about making porcelain with Lu Bingsheng today, but now I have to push it back. As for Lu Bingsheng, Ye Hao told him about today's events last night and asked him to take Zhao Lan with him today. Come here together, don't worry about making porcelain.

Ye Hao returned home after shopping for groceries and found that Lu Bingsheng and Zhao Lan had arrived.

"Bingsheng, Zhao Lan, you came here so early. Have you had breakfast? There are still buns steamed in the morning in the pot."

"Brother Hao, we just came here after breakfast, no need to bother."

Lu Bingsheng helped Ye Hao put the purchased ingredients into the kitchen.

"Brother Hao, I haven't seen your little white for a while. He feels bigger. This size is probably bigger than the average adult wolf." Coming out of the kitchen, Lu Bingsheng looked at Xiaobai who was rubbing Ye Hao's leg and said.

"Haha, I don't know why. This little guy has grown even after drinking water. Now I don't dare to take it out for fear of scaring others." Ye Hao couldn't explain this kind of thing, so he could only fight. Fooled over with a careless eye.

"I wonder if Sun Chaoshu will be shocked when he sees Xiaobai like this. His tiger looks like a half-grown cub in front of Xiaobai. By the way, Brother Hao, will Sun Chaoshu come over today?"

"I don't know. He probably won't come here. The army is not like us. I haven't seen him since I went to Hong Kong Island after the New Year." Ye Hao was also a little curious about Sun Chaoshu. This guy was transferred to the capital. The specific situation is that Sun Chaoshu has not been back home since he came back.

"That's right. The discipline of the army is very strict. You may not be able to go home even once a year. Who would have thought that he could stay in the army for so long when he was so undisciplined. By the way, Brother Hao, I brought you a good thing. Son, see if you like it." As they were talking, the two of them had already arrived in the main room, and Lu Bingsheng picked up an envelope on the table.

"What's in here?" Ye Hao was a little curious about what Lu Bingsheng brought. According to Lu Bingsheng, it was a good thing. The first thing Ye Hao thought of was the collection in Lu Bingsheng's home, but when he saw the envelope that Lu Bingsheng picked up, he immediately Negated the previous idea.

Ye Hao had seen all the collections in Lu Bingsheng's house, and it was obvious that those collections could not be in this envelope.

"Brother Hao, I got this by accident two days ago. Please give it a try." Lu Bingsheng didn't show any concern. He opened the envelope and poured out a few small pieces of paper.

Ye Hao recognized the things on the table as stamps at a glance. After all, Ye Hao still recognized the words "Qing Post Office" on them.

A total of five stamps were poured out of the envelope. The patterns on them were similar, but the colors and the words on them were slightly different.

One green one said one cent of silver, two red ones said three cents of silver, and two yellow ones said five cents of silver.

Ye Hao was familiar with these stamps. He had seen a description of these stamps in the study room of Master Li Desheng's home.

It is the first set of stamps officially issued by the Dragon Kingdom - Dalong stamps, also known as the Customs Dalong.

In 1878, the Qing government set up postal agencies in five places including Beijing, Jinmen and Shanghai, which were attached to the customs. The Customs Registration Office in Shanghai printed a set of three stamps with the dragon as the pattern that year.

A five-clawed dragon is painted in the center of the stamp pattern, lined with clouds and waves. The stamps have different colors and face values. The face value is calculated in silver taels: "one cent of silver" (green, postage for sending printed matter), "three cents of silver" (red, postage for sending printed matter) Ordinary letter postage), "Five Silver" (orange, registered postage).

Ye Hao picked up a few stamps and looked at them carefully. He found that the description was the same as what he saw from Master Li. It was basically certain that this thing was real.

This is not a time when collecting is popular in later generations. In this era, generally no one will imitate this thing.

"Where did you get it? This thing is a hundred years old, and it can still be preserved so completely." These five stamps are unused at first glance, and are in perfect condition, except for the fact that the paper is a little faded due to time. Yellow, everything else is just like new.

"It's fate. As you know, our furniture factory occasionally has furniture made of valuable wood brought from other places. We need to dismantle these furniture and leave the wood. These stamps are the ones I dismantled two days ago. Huanghuali fell out of the mezzanine while writing on the desk.

In the past, we have encountered things in the mezzanine, but they were usually valuable things like silver coins, and they had to be handed over whenever they were found. This time, only a few stamps fell out. Seeing that no one was interested, and the leader didn’t want to say anything, I brought them back..." Lu Bingsheng explained how he discovered these stamps, and how he found them. How he got it was described vividly, which made Ye Hao click his tongue in amazement.

I have long heard that collecting rags in this era can lead to national treasures. I didn’t expect that such a good thing could happen while working in a furniture factory. Ye Hao even had the idea of ​​collecting rags, but Ye Hao quickly dismissed this as unrealistic. Dismiss the idea.

He was not like other time-travelers who came to this era and stared at these domestic antiques. He wanted good things, and there were not many in the four major museums.

A considerable part of the Dragon Kingdom's national treasure-level antiques are in the four major museums. Ye Hao now owns the entire John Bull Museum in his space.
