"I care about me!"

Master Pao jumped three feet in place, his eyeballs were about to fall out of their sockets, and he took a careful look at the beer bottle: "I said brother! Isn't this thing just a beer bottle? How can it be a treasure?" Is it? Could it be that this thing is a beer bottle that Qin Shihuang once drank?"

Zuo Xiaoqing burst into laughter, squatted down at the same time, and wiped off the mud on the beer bottle with a dry paper towel.

"Master Cannon! Look carefully! Is this a bottle of beer?"

Zuo Xiaoqing first held the beer bottle in front of him to check: "Look at the gunner! The material of the beer bottle is glass, which has a very high degree of perspective, but the bottle in front of us has no see-through function, and the material is pure and clear. The shape of the beer bottle is very similar, but it is actually a decorative bottle with a history of hundreds of years!"

"No, no!" Master Pao shook his head like a rattle: "This is clearly a beer bottle. Doesn't it look more and more like it? I seriously suspect that it was a grave robber who went to dig a tomb and accidentally dropped it in the tomb. Yes, it was later discovered by the relevant departments! Yes, yes! It’s such a routine!”

"Let me come, let me come!" At this time, Zheng Guangrong wiped his eyeballs and walked up and said, "One thing to say, this one has to be convinced by my elder brother Shen! From the very beginning, he saw the specialness of this bottle, even if It’s because I have a perspective eye that I didn’t see it, but now I can see something strange! Cannon! Let me tell you! This is not a beer bottle, the material of this bottle is green glass, plus its The shape is a long-necked bottle, which is very similar to our Yanjing 80s old beer bottle!"

"Sister Xiaoqing said just now that this bottle is at least a few hundred years old. Let me tell you the exact age. It has a history of at least 750 years from now. After calculation, it should be in the era of Genghis Khan, the Yuan Dynasty!"

"But if you ask me, I can't tell you the specific origin of this glazed bottle. First of all, I don't know much about the history of the Yuan Dynasty, and there is no obvious signature or mark on the surface of this glazed bottle. Even gold Tong Tong can't figure it out either, let Big Brother Shen help everyone solve the mystery!"

Zuo Xiaoqing and Zheng Guangrong did tell the basic characteristics of this bottle, but they only mentioned the tip of the iceberg. Shen Qiu nodded and got up, and then came to the glass bottle.

He first felt the weight of the green glass bottle with his hands, which was less than a hundred grams, and then he felt the hot temperature emanating from the surface of the glass bottle. Based on this temperature, Shen Qiu could accurately judge that it was Yuan. Items from the sixth year of Zhenzhen.

"Strictly speaking, this glass bottle should be the treasure of the sixth year of Yuan Zhen. Besides, its weight, I felt it just now, it is about [-] grams. If it is made of glass bottle, its overall weight The weight is at least [-] grams, so you can dispel your doubts, Pao Ye. The density of glass is much lighter than that of glass! From its light transmittance and weight, as well as the aging reaction layer, color, and comprehensiveness of the outer layer of glass It can only be made of colored glaze!"

Shen Qiu continued: "In our era, colored glaze is not considered a precious material, but in ancient times, colored glaze was the first of the five great treasures and one of the seven treasures of Buddhism. It is more expensive than gold, silver, jade, ceramics, and bronze It must be precious, coupled with the "modern" shape of this wine bottle, it was definitely a rare treasure at the time!"

"Just now I turned this colored glass upside down and checked it. I saw a paste-like substance at the bottom of it. Visually, it should be the composition of wax oil, so I judged that this bottle is most likely the oil lamp decoration of that year. Because of its poor light transmission, the effect of lighting the flame must have a green light!"

When Shen Qiu said this, he touched the glass bottle itself again. At this moment, various fragments about the glass bottle flooded into his mind like a tide.

Sure enough, Shen Qiu guessed it right. This is indeed a decorative glazed lamp. It was custom-made by a wealthy family in Beijing back then. This person was a silk businessman in Beijing and Hangzhou back then, and his surname was Zhou!His name is Zhou Jun.

This gentleman Zhou was from the Han Dynasty. With his clever mind, he came to Beijing and Hangzhou to start a silk clothing business. Because of his unique aesthetic design, he designed several sets of Mongolian-style clothing according to the style of the minority ethnic groups in the Yuan Dynasty. Clothes were loved by many Mongolian women back then.

In today's terms, he just made a few sets of hot clothes, but the result was out of control. In just half a year, Zhou Jun became the most famous businessman in the Beijing-Hangzhou generation of clothes, and opened stores all over the country. The shop that sells clothing is the ancestor of Su Shang that we talk about now.

This Mr. Zhou started to live freely after earning money. He replaced the mansion with new furniture. He even married several concubines. All the daily necessities in the mansion are of the highest standard!The most famous ones are the pair of green glass lamps.

The ancients paid attention to buying lamps in pairs, and this glazed lamp is also in pairs. These two decorative oil lamps have their origins.

It is said that Zhou Jun’s business is getting bigger and bigger this time, and the subsequent sets of clothes he designed were loved by Mongolian women at that time. So Meng gave birth to a bold idea, to buy an official.

In the Yuan Dynasty, the status of a businessman was never comparable to that of a high official. As the saying goes, a high-level official crushes people to death. Even a small seventh-rank sesame official would dare to ride on the head of a businessman and shit, with a slightly higher voice , Make a wink and the merchants have to come over and pay the favor fee.

In this year, Mr. Zhou has handed over countless benefits to several officials. Although he has earned a lot, but after careful calculation, the money he earns in a year is not as much as he gave to a third-rank official. The benefits It all went into the pockets of those officials.

It is precisely because of this that Zhou Jun made up his mind to give himself a certain official position no matter how much money he spends.

Zhou Jun took out 30 pennies, and started to manage the benefits step by step from top to bottom. After three months, he finally got a fifth-rank official in a small county in Beijing-Hangzhou, the official position of Fengyi Taifu Well, with this black gauze hat, at least he doesn't have to pay those benefits every year, and he can even reach out and make a fortune.

Zhou Jun has a good plan, but who knows that people are not as good as heaven, and the position of Taifu has not been warmed up yet, he was reported by the lower officials. charges.

This disturbance immediately caused an uproar in the capital and Beijing-Hangzhou, and Genghis Khan was very annoyed. He immediately ordered the heads of the third-rank officials to be beheaded. Zhou Jun was also thrown into the dungeon and became an exiled prisoner.

Mr. Zhou was exiled, and his million-dollar property was naturally taken away, and the Zhou family was in chaos for a while.

Finally, I said that the pair of tailor-made green glass bottles were also snatched by the servants in Beppu in a panic. Everyone knew the value of the glass bottles, and they would snatch them away if they squeezed their heads. One was broken on the spot, and the remaining glass bottle was snatched away by a little housekeeper at that time.

In short, this pair of glass bottles has witnessed Zhou Jun's glory, but also witnessed his downfall. Zhou Jun loses because of his greed. He wants to make a lot of money when he has money, and he wants to be an official for the court after making a lot of money. However, they don’t know that during the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian people had prejudices against the Han people themselves. Once a Han person took an official position, they would immediately be jealous and concealed by many people.

The official position that Zhou Jun bought is at the fifth-rank level, which is equivalent to the current position of the line leader. There are a lot of envious Mongolians around, and it is hard not to die!

In the end, Zhou Jun died on the way of exile, and before he died, he warned his descendants that from then on, the Zhou family will never be an official forever. Those who can dominate the market do not mean that they can also be like ducks in the officialdom, whether it is ancient or modern. Killing in the officialdom will never see a drop of blood.
