Chapter 321 Yongli Money
"Eat first, and talk while eating!" At this time, Cai Pengxi saw the nanny coming in, and got up.

During the dinner, Cai Chihuang told Yu Yao, "I went to Burma this time, and I happened to meet Fu Mancang, the president of Garde Asia. Do you think you are lucky?"

"Fumancang? This name has a personality."

"He is British, and foreigners like this kind of Chinese name. But this old man has a lot of knowledge, and he chatted well with me. I will introduce you later."

Yu Yao raised his glass, "It seems unreasonable not to give you a commission!"

Cai Chihuang raised his eyebrows, "That's not necessary, but there is something you can look at for your help. I brought it today for my grandpa's attention. You just happened to be here. You, I don't care about anything else." I understand, there is really nothing to say about eyesight.”

Cai Pengxi tapped his chopsticks lightly, "You brat, no wonder you're so active!"

"That's good too, Grandpa, you admire his eyesight, can I neglect it?"

In fact, when Yu Yao came this time, he had a lot of money on him, besides the pigeon's blood red, there was also the imperial decree jade plaque, which was originally for Cai Pengxi to see together.

However, Cai Chihuang first said that he had something to look at, so he would mention it after finishing the work.

When Cai Chi Huang came, he didn't bring any obvious big items in his hand, and because he preferred jade, Yu Yao thought that his things were related to jade, but unexpectedly, he took out a big coin.

About four centimeters in diameter, regular and thick.

Even Cai Pengxi was taken aback, "Yongli Tongbao?"

"The color is yellowish and bluish, it seems to be money. However, it is seven green, eight yellow, nine purple and ten red, and the color is not pure." Yu Yao said after taking a look.

"Let's have a look." Cai Chihuang laughed, "Emperor Yongli of the Southern Ming Dynasty was running around, so it would be nice if he could make money. I found this by accident in Myanmar, and it cost 10,000+, so we can't talk about the price of gold. !"

"I'm already good at this, you should read it first." Cai Pengxi said to Yu Yao.

Yu Yao picked it up.On the front of the coin, "Yongli Tongbao" is written in regular script in the order of top, bottom, right and left, and on the back is the upper and lower characters "Guo Shi".

Yongli is the year name of Zhu Youlang, the emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty. Zhu Youlang has been in power for 16 years, and the amount of casting is still not small. At the same time, in Taiwan at that time, Yongli Tongbao was still in circulation for 40 years. Later, Kangxi took over Taiwan. Afterwards the confiscation and destruction began.

There are many inscriptions on Yongli Tongbao, and those with discipline value, such as [-] cent, [-] cents, [-] cents, [-] cents, [-] cents, etc.; there are also only words similar to discipline bureaus, such as the inscription on this coin "country".

However, the combination of words and numbers like this "Guoshi" is relatively rare.

Most importantly, this one is money!It should not have appeared on the market.

This Yongli Tongbao "National Ten" coin, after Yu Yao took a closer look, concluded that it was indeed something from the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, "Where did you buy it?"

"An antique shop in Myanmar. It is very troublesome to get Myanmar antiques out of the customs, but fortunately it is a coin. I just put it on the keychain and passed the customs."

Yu Yao nodded.

It is not surprising to find Yongli Tongbao in Myanmar.

After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, Zhu Youlang proclaimed himself emperor in Guangdong Province.However, under the pursuit of the Qing soldiers, he ran around like a dog in mourning.Later, he fled all the way to Myanmar and was placed in the capital of Myanmar by the king of Myanmar.Here, Yongli Tongbao is naturally useless, but it is still possible to flow to a part of Myanmar.

When he first arrived in Myanmar, Zhu Youlang's entourage was said to be quite happy, and they often visited kilns and drank big wine.

Later, the "cursed water disaster" occurred, and Zhu Youlang was placed under house arrest.

Later, Wu Sangui's army suppressed the border and forced the Burmese side to hand over Zhu Youlang.Zhu Youlang was then taken back to Kunming by Wu Sangui, where he was finally strangled (so-called hanged himself).

"There is a national character on the back. Ding, Guo, Liu, Yue, Fu, Ming, these six characters are relatively common among the coins with single characters on the back of Yongle Tongbao." After reading it, Yu Yao handed it over Cai Pengxi.

Cai Pengxi watched and listened.

Cai Zhihuang said, "I generally know about this, it doesn't look like a pure discipline bureau."

"This has something to do with Li Dingguo. Li Dingguo participated in Zhang Xianzhong's uprising army at the end of the Ming Dynasty and was known as the "enemy of ten thousand people". After Zhang Xianzhong died, Li Dingguo led some troops to reunite with Zhu Youlang to fight against the Qing Dynasty together, and later became the leader of the Yongli Dynasty. The first important minister. Dingguo stays in Guangdong to assist the Ming Dynasty, this sentence is easy to understand. However, this is just a point of view, because there are other back texts after all, we will not explore this."

Cai Chihuang nodded, "You mean this money is definitely not a fake?"

"Not only is it not, but it is also very special. This is a reward money! It was specially cast by Emperor Yongli to reward meritorious ministers. In Yongli Tongbao, there has never been a discount of ten (ten) on the market."

"How did you know it didn't show up?"

"First of all, this is an authentic piece from the present age. Furthermore, you are the 'Guo Shi'; and the 'Ding Shi' gold coin appeared in the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty. I saw it from a wild history notebook. It is mentioned that it was collected by the descendants of the deceased ministers of the Southern Ming Dynasty, who took the risk of losing their heads. In addition, Emperor Yongli relied on Li Dingguo, who held a heavy army, and used "Dingshi" and "Guoshi" as reward money. It can also be said that Makes sense."

Cai Chihuang pondered, "Well, Zhang Xianzhong also forged money to reward the king of the West, and the separatist regime likes to play this trick."

Yu Yao smiled, "Emperor Yongli is fatuous and incompetent. When he was in Burma, he even wrote a letter to Wu Sangui to plead for mercy, hoping to save his life and let him linger in Burma."

Cai Chihuang slapped his chin, "Then there should be no problem, I just picked it up! It all depends on your courage."

"That's because you are not short of money!" Cai Pengxi nodded at him.

"It's hard to say the exact value, but it's even more precious than the mother's money for trial casting. It's worth more than a million! You spent 10,000+, which is indeed a mistake." Yu Yao said.

After the meal, the three of them drank tea together, and Yu Yao took out a small brocade box, "Master, I'm going back to Jiangzhou soon, brother Chihuang has some good things for you to look at, and I also bought one in Yanjing Let’s take out the rare jade piece and let everyone appreciate it.”

"When you come to Yanjing, one pigeon's blood is not enough?" Cai Chihuang was slightly surprised.

Yu Yao said in his heart, this time I came back with a lot of rewards, there are quite a few pieces!However, this Imperial Edict Jade Tablet is indeed one of the rare items.

Only then did Chihuang look at the imperial decree jade tablet. Needless to say, the quality of the jade can also be dated, but the Basiba inscription on it is unknown.

As far as the Basiba script itself is concerned, Cai Pengxi doesn't know it, but he obviously knows it, "This should be the Bhasba script?"

Yu Yao said yes.

"Yuan Dynasty Imperial Edict Topaz Medal! Even more precious than Imperial Edict Gold Medal!"

When Yu Yao heard it, Cai Pengxi didn't say "Imperial Edict Jade Tablet", but said "Imperial Edict Topaz Tablet", "Master, is there any other jade quality for this Imperial Edict Jade Tablet?"
