Chapter 596

Duan Kun said with disbelief: "it's an ancient copper coin. What's the mysterious legend?"

"Go, that's because you don't know the origin of the arhat money!" Liu Sizhe said with a smile.

Duan Kun curled his lips: "copper coins are not all cast. What else can they have?"

Liu Sizhe said with a smile, "you don't understand! You know, during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, the state was not pacified, and the National Treasury was relatively empty. That year, Emperor Kangxi sent Nian gengyao to fight against the rebellion in the West. On the way, because of the lack of military pay, Nian gengyao had no choice but to borrow copper Buddha from the local Buddhist temple, melting and casting "Kangxi Tongbao" money

"Besides, he also made a wish that he would take back all the copper money and double the gold body when his class teacher came back. In order to have a recognition, the word "Xi" in the original "Kangxi Tongbao" is removed from the left. Unexpectedly, after returning to Beijing, Nian gengyao was dismissed and put into prison, so this batch of copper coins remained among the people. "

"Come on!" Duan Kun sneered and said, "I'm good at history. That year, Tang Yao was dismissed by Yongzheng and put into prison. During the reign of Kangxi, he didn't go back to Beijing after the western expedition. If there was such a thing, how could he not have time to repay his wish?"

"Well, you know that?"

Liu Sizhe said with a smile, "I'll give you another version. It was also during the western expedition in Kangxi. Because of the lack of military pay, the Qing soldiers melted the gold and copper Arhats in the temple and made them into money. That's why it's called" arhat money ". The money contains a small amount of gold."

"This is even more ridiculous. Since the National Treasury is empty, how can the money cast put gold? This is obviously to deceive the common people who are easy to deceive! " Duan Kun laughed.

Liu Sizhe shook his head and said with a wry smile, "you changed your business. I didn't expect that your mind would be much more flexible."

Duan Kun said with a smile: "I'm twenty-one. How can I be as stupid as I used to be at school? Come on, you'd better tell me how the arhat money came from! "

Liu Sizhe said: "in fact, this Luohan coin was specially made for Emperor Kangxi's 60th birthday. Emperor Kangxi was diligent in state affairs and good at governing the country. In the spring of the 52nd year of Kangxi, it was his 60th birthday. In addition to the grand birthday ceremony, the imperial court also ordered Baoquan bureau to cast a batch of small copper coins, called "Wanshou coins", to commemorate his 60th birthday

Duan Kun asked again: "since it is called" longevity money ", how can it be called Luohan money? It's very unreliable to say something like melting Rohan! "

"As for how to call it luohanqian, we can't figure it out now because it has a long history and different circulation."

Chuchen said with a smile: "however, one of the many sayings is more reliable. It is said that during the reign of Daoguang, during the maintenance of Jingci temple, a famous West Lake Temple, this kind of" Kangxi Tongbao "money was found in Luohan Buddha, which is different from the ordinary money. The monk gave this kind of money to the faithful men and women, saying that the money in the Bodhisattva's belly can protect people from evil. As a result, the name "luohanqian" is widely used

"Well, that's more reliable!" Duan Kun nodded.

Liu Sizhe said: "in fact, I would like to say that this Luohan coin is not worthy of its name except for its reputation. Besides its existence, the copper quality of Luohan coin is not outstanding, and some of its copper color is not as good as the coins made by the local bureau."

"There's a reason for that, of course!"

Just then, the four went to a clean looking restaurant. Chu Chen said, "as for the reason, let's talk while eating..."

The party asked the waiter for a private room. After ordering, Chu Chen handed Liu Sizhe all the eight Arhats he had just bought. He took out two of them and said, "look at these two!"

"Eh!" Liu Sizhe took up the coin and observed it carefully. After a while, he said with a surprised face: "how are these two so different from the others?"

Chuchen explained with a smile: "there are two kinds of luohanqian: Toulu and ordinary. It's the first time that Luohan coins were cast in the first furnace. They are all larger than 2.65cm in diameter, 4.9g in weight and 0.4cm in width. They are well made and bright in color. Now they are almost invisible. "

"In the general examination of making money, there is: '" The copper color of this product is quite good, which is called luohanqian in the world. It's very popular. It's often used to make a bright and precious tool. So it's rarely spread today. " In my opinion, this should be Toulu Luohan coins. As for ordinary Luohan coins, they are smaller in diameter, lighter than Toulu Luohan coins, narrower in margin and only 0.3cm in width. These six Luohan coins beside them should be ordinary goods. "

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Liu Sizhe compared the two copper coins with the others, and then exclaimed, "I really don't know that the arhat coins are different from the ordinary ones!"

Chuchen said with a smile: "this kind of Luohan coin is yellowish in color. It is also said that the copper coin contains three li gold. Therefore, many people melted the copper coin and made it into various kinds of ornaments, so that it was rarely found in Xianfeng years, and now it is even rare. So many people don't know the difference between Toulu and ordinary."

In recent years, Kangxi coins of local bureaus with the word "Xi" have appeared constantly, including those with Manchu characters in East, Guangdong, Taiwan, South and so on. Some even carved flowers and even gilded them. This kind of chaotic situation makes even fewer people know the first batch of luohanqian. "Everyone nodded, and then Duan Kun quickly asked, "how much are these two copper coins worth?"

Liu Sizhe said with a speechless face: "you know money, and it's so vulgar!"

"I'm just a layman!" Duan Kun said with a smile.

"After all, some people are interested in antiques, and it's OK to raise money for the sake of seeing that they are valuable and can make money."

Chuchen said with a smile: "as for these two copper coins, I think it should be appropriate to combine the texture of copper coins with its special status."

"Two hundred thousand, that's not bad!" With the previous experience of picking up leaks, Duan Kun's reaction is quite flat.

Liu Sizhe could not laugh or cry and said: "it's right to call it. Do you think there are many good things worth hundreds of thousands in the field of antiques? Besides, these are just two copper coins. Do you think they are worth tens of millions? Young man, don't aim too high! "

That's what he said. However, he always saw that Chu Chen's leaks were either millions or tens of millions. His vision was also high. As long as he didn't pick up millions of leaks, he just picked up small leaks. Of course, he would be happy, but he would not be overjoyed.

"Come on, I think you think the same as me!" With a smile, Duan Kun then asked Chu Chen, "brother Chen, I think you bought some Kangxi Tongbao besides these copper coins. There must be something to say about them."

"Look at this copper coin!"

With that, Chu Chen pushed the Luohan coin with the word "Luo" to the two men.

"Ah?"

When Liu Sizhe saw this arhat coin, he felt very surprised. Then he compared the copper coin with other copper coins one by one with a confused face. Finally, he raised his head and asked with a question mark: "what's the matter?"

"It's arhat money. What else can it be?" Chuchen said with a smile.

"That's not right. Isn't Rohan money without that one?" Liu Sizhe was extremely confused.

Chuchen said with a smile: "if you say so, the section of" general examination of making money "says," Right Kangxi Tong Bao Qian Yipin, Xi word is still for "Yu" word. Xiyuan note: the shape, quality and bronze color of this product are not the same as those of the previous product. However, the word "Xi" is still used as a different ear. " How do you explain that? "

Liu Sizhe scratched his head and said, "I haven't read this passage. Does it really have the word" Luo Han Qian "

Chuchen said with a smile, "this is it. Apart from these two arhat coins, have you ever seen a copper coin of the Kangxi period with the same texture or better than this Kangxi Tongbao?"

"That's not true!"

Liu Sizhe shook his head, then exclaimed: "today is really a long knowledge..."

Just then, Chu Chen's mobile phone rang. He went to the side and picked up the phone. Then he was surprised and said, "what?"

"Well I see... "

Seeing Chu Chen's anxious face, Liu Sizhe quickly asked, "brother Chen, what happened?"

Chu Chen anxiously said: "my grandmother has a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. Do you know when the plane from Fucheng to Beijing will arrive in the afternoon?"

Kun said, "I'm surprised to hear that class is going to be at six in the afternoon."

Chu Chen picked up his things and said as he walked: "no, it's too late. I'd better go to Shudu by plane. It's 12 o'clock now. I'll take the plane at 3:30 when I get there..."

Three people also followed up hastily, the doorman sees this to ask hastily: "Sir, are you this?"

"If we have something urgent, we won't eat here!" Liu said.

"But the dishes have been cooked!" The waiter said in a hurry.

Chu Chen waved his hand impatiently and said: "well, well, you have a lot of money. Now go and help us pack some dishes. I'll get the money together..."

When they came out of the hotel, they went to the hotel to pick up their luggage, and then went to Shudu airport.

All the way, the two-hour journey was reduced to an hour and a half by Hu Yong.

When Chu Chen took the ticket, Duan Kun said, "brother Chen, it's still early. I'll go and get that Guanyin statue for you."

Chu Chen nodded: "OK..."

After Duan Kun drove away, Liu Sizhe asked, "is grandma Qian's cerebral hemorrhage serious?"

Chu Chen is tiny a Leng, return a way: "this I really didn't ask, I call to ask!"

Then he took out his cell phone and called his mother. After a while, he hung up the phone. The whole person was a little relaxed and said, "it's capillary bleeding. The problem is not too big!"
