Chapter 607 Golden Turtle
Inside this small brocade box is a small turtle-shaped piece, shining golden.Although he hasn't used it yet, Yu Yao can also see that it should be gold instead of copper, at least it has a certain amount of gold.

The length of the small turtle-shaped piece is five or six centimeters, and the width is slightly smaller, but not much smaller, roughly round.

"You don't know how to clean it, do you?" Yu Yao asked the thin man while taking out his hands.

"If you say you are an expert, you are really an expert." The thin man replied, "I didn't wash this, it was washed by the previous owner, and I can't help it. However, even if it is an old gold piece from ancient times, that's okay. .”

Some antiques can be washed, and some can't; it also depends on the washing method.Things like gold and copper are different from porcelain and jade. It is best not to move them around, as it is easy to damage the patina, and the value may be discounted.

Now that it has been washed, Yu Yao didn't say any more about it, and weighed it in his hand, it felt light.In this case, either the gold content is not high, or there is a hollow.

"You didn't just charge by the gold price, did you?" Yu Yao asked again.

"Don't ask how you charge it. What you should care about is my selling price."

"You said it was an old gold piece, how old is it?" Yu Yao was looking at the belly of the golden tortoise carefully at this moment. Not only has the golden tortoise been washed, but the belly has also been polished. It should have been engraved with words, but now only faint spots are left. There are traces, and I can't see what words are engraved.

However, it should be a long time ago that the abdomen was polished, at least not in modern times, much earlier than cleaning.

"I think it looks like a soldier talisman from the Tang Dynasty." The thin man said, "Look, there should be a soldier talisman engraved on the belly, but it's a pity that it was worn off at some point."

"Soldier talisman? Aren't soldier talismans all tiger talismans? How can they be made of turtles?"

"Little brother, don't pretend to be confused. In order to avoid Tang Taizu Li Hu, how can there be a tiger charm in the military charm?"

Yu Yao smiled and didn't speak for a while.He was just testing it out, but this skinny man knew a little bit.

Tang Taizu Li Hu was the grandfather of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan and the great-grandfather of Tang Taizong Li Shimin; of course, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty was Li Yuan, and Li Hu had never been an emperor; his temple name was acquired later.

The military talisman has long existed, Lord Xinling stole the talisman to save Zhao.From the Warring States period to before the Sui Dynasty, the soldier talismans were indeed tiger talismans; in the Sui Dynasty, there were unicorn soldier talismans.

The Tang Dynasty was the dynasty with the most varied military symbols. Tiger symbols were not used, but rabbit symbols, fish symbols, turtle symbols, etc. were used.

This tortoise talisman was mainly used during Wu Zetian's reign, and also included the Wu Zhou period interspersed in the middle of the Tang Dynasty.

I don't know why Wu Zetian likes turtles.She was Li Shimin's "little wife" at first, and later became Li Shimin's daughter-in-law, and then she brought all kinds of jokes with her, whether she was a jerk or not, it's hard to say.

Of course, at that time the tortoise didn't mean to be crooked so much. The ministers still wore golden tortoise bags, silver tortoise bags and copper tortoise bags according to their grades.

Li Shangyin has a poem that says "marrying a rich man for no reason"; this is where the saying of a rich man comes from.

"That's not right either!" Yu Yao lowered his head and lit another cigarette, "If it's a military talisman, it should be able to be divided into two; this turtle doesn't seem to be able to."

In addition to the inscriptions on the soldier talisman, it can generally be divided into two parts. When the superiors send people to dispatch troops, they have to hold one half and match it with the other half of the commander.

This golden tortoise has a tortoise shell pattern on the back, a round protruding center, a slightly raised head, and awe-inspiring momentum; the four claws are retracted, and the abdomen has been polished, so the original decoration cannot be seen, but the shape of the edge is dignified and graceful.

There is indeed a bastard, no, a tyrant.However, there is really no way to see where it can be divided into two.

Yu Yao's question really stopped the thin man.In fact, he wasn't sure, he wasn't even sure whether he could go to Tang, but he was sure that it was an old thing.If you can be completely sure, no matter how impulsive you are, it is impossible to find someone to shoot at random.

"Not all soldier talismans can be divided into two, there are also special situations for troop deployment!"

The thin man's words were just a joke, but he was really fooled.

Some soldier talismans are not divided into two, and some have only one piece for the emperor. At critical moments, they can be used to directly dispatch troops, especially the troops guarding the imperial city like the Royal Forest Army.

But of course Yu Yao couldn't agree with him, "You caught me by surprise. But I think this thing is a bit old, at least it's from the Qing Dynasty."

"You are even more ridiculous. I said Datang, you have been beaten to the Qing Dynasty with a stick." The thin man frowned.

"Okay, it's useless to say these things, how much is the minimum price?"

"If you really want it, I can make it cheaper."

"Whether I want it or not depends on your price."

The thin man nodded and stretched out two fingers.

"two hundred?"

"Little brother, can we talk properly? Can you buy such a piece of gold for two hundred?"

"The gold content of this thing is very low, maybe it's 50.00%. Besides, how can you only look at the quality when buying and selling antiques?" Yu Yao paused, "That's two thousand?"

"Forget it on my own!" The skinny man curled his lips, "Listen well, [-] yuan, a one-buy price, no bargaining."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yao put the beetle back into the small brocade box, then gently pushed in the direction of the thin man on the table, "Then I won't move."

The thin man seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and said subconsciously, "Then how much can you hate?"

"Aren't you a one-buy price?" Yu Yao smiled.

The thin man also smiled awkwardly, "It's fate to meet you, you can use a small knife, but not a big knife."

"Chop in half, ten thousand, is it considered a big knife?" Yu Yao asked.

After hearing this, the thin man stretched out his hand and dragged the small brocade box in front of him, "It can't be specified."

Although he said no, the thin man didn't get up.

Afterwards, the two exchanged a few words, but Yu Yao killed ten thousand and refused to add any more.

At this time, the fat man came over, squinting his eyes, "You guys seem to be a little stiff talking!"

"I gave up to [-], and this little brother will not let go of the [-]." The thin man looked at the fat man, "We have to lose money at [-]."

"Yeah, you don't have to make money, but you can't lose money." The fat man sat down next to the thin man and looked at Yu Yao, "Since you know how to do it, little brother, let us have something to eat."

Yu Yao looked at the fat man, "I'm too poor to cry, [-] is really the highest."

"Let's do this, let's give in one step at a time. Fifteen thousand and eight, it's good." The fat man said with a smile.

"Good guy, are you giving in to each other?" Yu Yao got up, "Actually, I don't quite understand it, so it's just a gamble, and the top is [-]." After finishing speaking, he took a step.

Yu Yao is not purely playing hard to get, he can indeed see that it is a tortoise amulet from the Tang Dynasty, but this tortoise amulet has been polished and cleaned, so whether he buys it or not, the point is not this, but something that cannot be seen , so it is indeed a gamble.
