The meaning behind Chapter 11

The clerk brought tea, and Li Dingan looked at Gongping, drinking it with gusto.

It's a pity, there is no such thing as yesterday's bet immediately final?
Whether it's chewing a bottle, or standing upside down on a tree, as long as there is one person who fulfills his promise, the popularity of the live broadcast room will definitely rise by leaps and bounds...

Looking cheerfully, the person entered the shop in just one cigarette.

Not one person, but a group, at least twenty or thirty people, but they were all stopped by Guan Chengming.

All the stall owners who had been watching before were there, including the original owner of the copper coin.

In order to see a joke, I didn't even do business...

"This is Boss Li, and this is Boss Fang Wenwen from Fuyunxuan, who is also an expert on counting ancient coins in the capital..."

"Boss Li, nice to meet you!"

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Boss Fang, please take a look!"

Fang Wenwen looked at the pile of copper coins on the coffee table, and then looked at Li Ding'an seriously: "Boss Li, whether it is true or not, there is a fee?"

Li Ding'an froze for a moment, then smiled: This one is also quite interesting.

These words are not asking for money, but reminding Li Ding'an: there is no need to read it, it is all fake...

"Thank you, Boss Fang, how about I transfer the money first?"

"That's not true!"

Boss Fang shook his head, picked up the coin after sitting down, and sighed again: Isn't this a waste of effort?

But then:
"what?"

As soon as he started, he called out first.

Then, the eyes were nailed to the copper coins like knives.

After a long time, he raised his head again, looked at Li Ding'an, and then at the stall owners outside the door.

The expression on his face was wonderful: "It's really a joke..."

There was a bunch of laughter outside the door: "Boss Fang, this matter has long since become a joke, and you didn't know that?"

Fang Wenwen didn't say anything, and looked at the copper coin again... no, lead money!
After looking at it for a long time, he handed it out again: "Boss Jiang, why don't you come in and have a look, see if you recognize this one?"

Boss Jiang squinted his eyes carefully, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "I can recognize it without going in. This is a Yongzheng Tongbao, and the word "bao" is missing a little..."

"That's out of print, Old Jiang, are you willing to sell it?"

"That's why I say Boss Li has good eyesight..."

"It's really good eyesight. Such a piece can sell for 10,000+ at least. It's a big mistake...haha..."

Li Ding'an's expression was indifferent, his posture was leisurely, and he was drinking leisurely while holding a cup of tea, as if he wasn't the one being satirized outside.

Guan Dehai sighed, while Fang Wenwen shook his head: I think I'm a colleague, so I'll give you a chance to change your mind and save your reputation, but don't you cherish it?
Ugh……

He turned around again: "Boss Li, if you can trust me, I'll get started?"

"Boss Fang!"

"No trouble!"

The thick fingers are extremely dexterous, or pick up a pair of tweezers, or pick up a small knife, or pry, or scratch, the movement is fast, but very gentle.

In a few minutes, the green rust on it was removed in all directions. Fang Wenwen dipped a bristle brush in oil and scrubbed it non-stop.

Gradually, the coins revealed their true colors.

The outer circle and the inner square are the same as ordinary copper coins, but much thinner, so the handwriting is extremely shallow, and only a small part of the words "Yong" and "Zheng" can be seen.Tonghebao is relatively clear, and the Manchu text on the back is clearer. It can be seen that this coin comes from Baoding Baozhi Bureau.

To be honest, even in lead money, this kind of fineness is not good.

Picking up the lead money, Fang Wenwen wanted to say something, but hesitated for a while, and then handed the money to Li Ding'an: "Boss Li must know the origin of the money, so you should tell the big guy..."

In the same market every day, there is no need to offend people to death...

"Alright, what I want to say is wrong, Boss Fang can correct me anytime!"

Fang Wenwen cupped his hands: "Boss Li is polite, let's learn from each other!"

This style of painting suddenly went wrong...

When he entered the door, although this person was polite, his expression was obviously ridiculous, with a hint of sarcasm.

But this time, it's like making a 180-degree turn, bowing respectfully?
Looking at Guan Dehai again, although he sat quietly and did not speak, his eyes never moved away from Li Dingan's face.

He is not RMB, so how do you use it?

Netizens in the live broadcast room gradually became restless: Is this really wrong?
Li Dingan picked up the money and raised it towards the door: "Boss Jiang, this is lead money, right?"

"I don't know if it's lead money...Of course, I only found out now!"

"But you definitely don't know, this is a carving mother... So, you have lost your treasure!"

"The carved mother made of lead... what are you talking about?"

"I've heard that there were lead-cast mother coins before the Yuan Dynasty, but I've never heard of lead-made carved mother coins, let alone those in the Qing Dynasty."

"I haven't heard of it either, do you know?"

The stall owners outside the door shook their heads in unison, and there were voices of surprise and suspicion one after another, but the live broadcast room was eerily quiet.

It took a long time for "I went to the alley to report" to send a message: Does the big guy have a very familiar feeling?
Could it be that I'm not familiar with it? The exact same thing happened only in the morning, and it was only three or four hours ago.

After a long period of silence, someone spoke: "A weak question, what is a carved mother?"

Pin Yixuan: "It is the sample coin before the copper coin was issued. It is hand-carved, so it is called Diaomu, also known as ancestral money, commonly known as Qian Zuzong..."

"day……"

After a "day", the live broadcast room fell into silence again.

"There are quite a lot of lead coins in circulation, and almost all dynasties have them. I have heard of lead mother coins, but lead carving mother coins... pardon my ignorance!"

Boss Jiang shook his head resolutely, "Anyone who plays with money knows that after Qian Fatang (belonging to the household department) has carved the carving mother, it must first submit it to the emperor for review. After the vermilion pen is approved, the household department will use the carving mother as a model to cast the mother's money, and then distribute it to the treasure money bureaus of the provinces to cast it in the same way. Therefore, this is something presented to the emperor, no matter how poor it is, it will not use lead."

"Mother's money is made of copper, iron, or even lead, but the carving mother can only use gold, jade, ivory, and mahogany. Use whatever is expensive, and it will not work if the quality is different. It is rare to use silver. How can it be lead?"

The one who was talking nonsense before stretched his neck, "Besides, the coin in your hand is not of the right standard. Who doesn't know that the carved mother coin is bigger than the mother coin, and the mother coin is larger than the circulating coin, but your coin is about the same size as an ordinary coin. Doesn't that make sense?"

At the end, he looked at Fang Wenwen again meanly, "Boss Fang, I'm afraid you missed it too?"

Is this rushing up to make people slap in the face?
Fang Wenwen glared at him, then looked at Li Ding'an again, asking him to explain.

"You two are not wrong. After all, it is submitted to the emperor for approval. Of course, as good as it is, it must be done as good as possible, but it is not absolute. Because sometimes the symbolic meaning of the things used by the emperor is far greater than the actual meaning, so no matter whether it is poor or not, you have to figure out the meaning behind it."
