Goldfinger of the Heavens

Chapter 789 The Value of Culture

"It's really lively here!" Looking at the crowded night market, Huang Chong said, although the flow of people here is not as good as that of Panjiayuan and Liulichang, but it is the capital city after all, and it is quite large to have this scale here. Rare.

"Now the night market in Pengzhou is also one of the best cultural and entertainment markets in China." Shi San'er said, "A large number of merchants gather here every day, and there are also many wandering merchants. These people are running around. , to receive goods from all over the country, and then sell them to various places, so the things here are changing every day, some people buy, some people sell, it is very lively."

"Go, take a look!"

With more circulation, there will be more treasures. Of course, this requires eyesight. Generally speaking, there are fewer good things, and it is getting more and more difficult to pick up big leaks.

"A lot of ancient coins." They came to a stall with piles of ancient coins.

"Most of them are five emperors' coins." Huang Chong said after flipping through them. The so-called five emperors' coins were coins issued by five emperors of the Qing Dynasty, namely Shunzhi Tongbao, Kangxi Tongbao, Yongzheng Tongbao, Qianlong Tongbao and Jiaqing Tongbao. The largest copper coin in existence.

To be honest, Huang Chong was very disappointed. They were not good products, but I thought about it, if they were good things, why would they be piled up here.

These copper coins are obviously the goods that the stall owner got from other hawkers.

According to Huang Chong's experience, there are quite a few stall owners selling ancient coins on Antique Street, but most of them were forged later. Of course, there are real ancient coins, but most of them are ordinary goods, just like the ones on the stall now .

These copper coins from the Qing Dynasty are not rare items. Even if there are those who are willing to collect them, it is fine to collect a set. Therefore, most of the ordinary copper coins like the five emperor coins have been circulating in the market, and they cannot be sold much at all.

Huang Chong was quite surprised that the stall owner in front of him had so much money from the five emperors. Could it be a stick?

Although there are a lot of ancient coins here, Huang Chong searched them quickly. Most of them are ordinary coins, but after all, there are a lot of them, so there are always some good ones. Huang Chong picked out several of them and took them directly hands.

"This little brother has good eyesight. These are copper coins from the Qing Dynasty. They are all good things, authentic ancient coins." The stall owner said after seeing Huang Chong's actions.

"Hehe, boss, what you said is meaningless. Who doesn't know the five emperors' coins." Huang Chong said and lined up the ancient coins he picked on the ground: "I also planned to collect a set on a whim. Boss, make an offer!"

"This brother is an expert." The boss gave a thumbs up and said, "Among these copper coins, these are the only ones that are good, and you just picked them out for me!"

"Hehe." Everyone laughed.

The boss was not angry, picked up the copper coins, and said: "These copper coins are the best of my coins. It is rare to see the word 'Dong' on the back of this Shunzhi coin, and the appearance of this coin is so good. , both the gloss and the handwriting are so perfect, such a Shunzhi Tongbao is rare."

Huang Chong nodded and said, "Shunzhi's reciting characters of 'Dong' and 'Ning', as well as Kangxi's reciting of characters of 'Chang' and 'Lin', are worth collecting. Boss, please make a price!"

The coins selected by Huang Chong are all Manchu and Chinese coins without exception, with the Chinese characters "Shunzhi Tongbao" written on the face, and the name of the Wenji Bureau on the back, with the name of the Manchu money bureau on the left and the Chinese money bureau name on the right.

In the 17th year of Shunzhi, the Ministry of Household Affairs discussed and decided to reopen the money-saving bureaus. Except for Baoquan and Baoyuan, the coins made by the bureaus were still Manchu money, and the money inscribed by other provincial money bureaus were all Manchu-Chinese coins. There are twelve bureaus in total, namely "Lin, Ning, Yuan, Xuan, Tong, Jiang, Dong, He, Ji, Chang, Zhejiang, Shaanxi". This type of money is better made, but it has the largest casting volume and more surviving worlds.

What Huang Chong picked out was Qianzhong in Manchu and Chinese. In Chinese, there are Dongzi, Linzi, Ningzi, and Changzi in Shunzhi Tongbao and Kangxi Tongbao.

There were a lot of coins in the Qing Dynasty, and they were very messy. Only in the Xianfeng Dynasty, there were more than 500 kinds of coins, and there were dozens or hundreds of versions in one year name, which did not include such things as "Qixiang" and "Daya" Short-lived money and commemorative coins, as well as machine-made coins from various places.

"This brother is a big expert at first glance, so I'll give you a real price, one hundred per coin!" said the boss.

"All [-], if you agree, then the transaction is made, if you don't agree, then forget it." Huang Chong said angrily.

"Brother, it's too cruel for you to directly cut off the price by ten times!"

"Boss, we are all sensible people. Except for the four recited coins, these copper coins are ordinary Tongbao. The purchase price will not exceed two yuan at most. Here you are, I am already very rich at eighty." Sincerity." As he spoke, Huang Chong randomly picked five more coins, made up fifteen coins, and said, "Add these five coins, one hundred."

"This, I can't do business with this, at least five hundred!"

"Forget it then." Huang Chong stood up while speaking.

"This brother, this brother!" Seeing that Huang Chongzhen was about to leave, the boss quickly said: "Okay, then one hundred, the deal is done."

"it is good."

……

"I didn't expect Brother Huang to look gentle at ordinary times, but he is still a good bargainer." Ma Ge said, "What's the trick here, brother, tell me too, let me increase my knowledge, aren't you Missed it again?"

"It's not a leak, it's just a small leak." Huang Chong said.

"Oh, you really missed it!" Several people were shocked when they heard this.

"It's not a leak, it's actually culture." Huang Chong said, arranging the ancient coins in his hand into three rows.

There are five coins in the first pile, the first one is Shunzhi Beidong characters, and the other four are Kangxi Tongbao, Yongzheng Tongbao, Qianlong Tongbao and Jiaqing Tongbao.

"This is the five emperors' money, also known as Ziqi Donglai." Huang Chong pointed to the word "Dong" and said.

The second set is Kangxi Tongbao, with the word Lin on the back.

"This is the five blessings coming to the door."

The last set has two pieces, Shunzhi Tongbao with the word "Ning" on the back and Kangxi Tongbao with the word "Chang" on the back.

"Chang Ning Shuang Quan, although there are a lot of these two coins in the world, it is not easy to put them together, so although there are only two coins, the price should be the highest." Huang Chong said.

"I've learned a lot!" Ma Ge exclaimed, Zhuang Rui and Shi San'er also nodded, they didn't expect Wenwan to be able to play like this.

"Wenwan Wenwan is naturally related to culture, and the stall owner probably doesn't understand this, otherwise it would be really difficult to get it cheap." Huang Chong said.

"Then how much can this sell for?" Marco asked.

"The meaning is good, and the appearance is also very good, Brother Ma, if I sell it to you for 1 yuan, do you want it?" Huang Chong asked.

"Can consider it."

"Good guy, changing hands is a hundred times the profit."
