Chapter 130 Three ghost money in the Ming Dynasty

In the past, the richer a family was, the more they naturally valued the inheritance and development of their children and grandchildren.

Since Ding Mao guessed that the man's ancestors were not ordinary, it was unlikely that our family only had one like this!

Previously, all his mind was on the goods, so he didn't think much about it, but the man's reminder made Ding Mao suddenly realize.

Here in the north, sometimes "old" means "yao", and the old man is the youngest among men's grandfathers.

Judging from the man's words, this old man should still be alive!

Although they know the location of good goods, they try not to miss them on the way, just in case there are goods!

Therefore, Ding Mao and the others did not walk very fast. Whenever he met someone on the road, he would take the initiative to talk to them and ask if they had any old items for sale!

Not to mention, there are still benefits to being diligent and diligent, and he really received some small items such as big money, silver coins, and pen holders!

There is nothing special among these things, but the "Ghost Apocalypse" inside is still in relatively good condition.

Gui Tianqi Tongbao is one of the three ghost coins of the Ming Dynasty. The other two are Gui Wanli and Gui Chongzhen.

The reason why the word ghost is added before the name of this kind of coin is mainly to describe the weirdness of its writing, which is quite different from the ordinary version, and the writing method is ghostly!

At first, people thought that this kind of money was a folk funeral item, and there were many taboos about it. With the in-depth research of Quanyou, it was discovered that this kind of money was very well-cast, with exquisite craftsmanship and complete materials. It could not have been cast privately among the people. He also gradually changed his view on Sangui Qian.

Because they have appeared in large numbers in Yongzhou, many people are more inclined to believe that Sangui coins were produced locally in Yongzhou, and even basically conclude that Sangui coins began to be minted in the Chongzhen period of the late Ming Dynasty.

The calligraphy of Sangui Qian is subordinate to the official script, but it is still very different from the unified coin writing.

Take this Gui Tianqi as an example. Normally cast characters are spirited and sharp, while Gui Tianqi's strokes are very rounded.

There are also several versions of Gui Tianqi. The first one is Wudiantong, which is an honorary variety and is rare in quantity!

The characteristic is that the text is very large, the characters are clear, and the words are written very high.

The second type is the combined back, which is also rarer, with the Tianqi Tongbao text on both sides.

The third type is double-pointed meat, which is also relatively rare, but when you encounter it, it is basically in good condition. They are thick meat and have two-pointed characters.

The fourth type is Fangtou Tong, which is also relatively rare. The Tong character is a single point, which is different from Jiaotou Tong. The three strokes starting from the Yong character of Tong character are similar to the square head.

The fifth type is single-dot large characters. This is more common. Its characteristic is that the font is large and the general characters are single-dot. This is the version that Ding Mao received!

After walking and stopping along the way, Ding Mao soon saw the house the man was talking about.

There are two stone piers at the door and the yard is very large. It can be regarded as a "deep house compound" in the northern countryside!

If it weren't for his luck and there was someone at the door, Ding Mao would be a little suspicious, and he might be able to hear the sound of the loudspeaker clearly in the house!

"What kind of old stuff are you collecting?"

Ding Mao wanted to step forward to talk, but unexpectedly one of the two women chatting took the lead in asking.

"We accept all old items, large amounts of money, large amounts of silver, old plates, old bowls, old vases, old tobacco pouches, old furniture. In short, we accept everything that is old!"

"This kid is just talking nonsense. If the old man accepts it, will the old man and the old lady accept it?"

One of them, a slightly younger woman with a very cheerful personality, made a joke when she heard the flaw in Ding Mao's words!

Hearing this, Ding Mao immediately smiled heartily: "Haha, eldest sister, I really don't dare to accept this! If you don't say whether to give in or not, the key is that you can't afford it!"

This kind of personality of a woman makes it easier to communicate and makes communication less tiring, so Ding Mao is more willing to do business with this kind of person!

Ding Mao's "Big Sister" call made the woman happy, with a smile on her lips.

"I just saw your car parked in front of Zhihong's house. Is there any old stuff at his house?"

Ding Mao didn't know who his name was Zhihong, so he replied casually: "Oh, I collected some big money and a pen holder. Is there anything at home that I want to sell?"

The other older woman didn't talk to her since she asked the question at the beginning. It was this younger woman with a cheerful personality who did the talking all the time!

"Yes, yes, I'm afraid you won't be able to give me a good price!"

Since she said she had something, it would be easy to handle, and the smile on Ding Mao's face did not diminish.

Said: "You didn't take it out and didn't ask for the price. How do you know I can't give you a price?"

The woman curled her lips and said, "In order to make money, you must lower the price as much as you can, and how much higher can you offer?"

Ding Mao's expression did not change and he replied: "Sister, what you said is right or wrong! Money must be earned, otherwise it would be all things that cannot be eaten or drunk, so what are you doing with it!"

"Look, admit it!"

Seeing that Ding Mao did not deny it, the woman looked like she had seen through it all!

"Sister, please listen to what I have to say first!"

Ding Mao smiled bitterly. Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by this woman!

Seeing that this young man was honest in everything he said, the woman said, "Then tell me!"

"Although you can make money, it also depends on how much you earn. Besides, the things belong to you, so you must have a weighing in mind. If you think the price is not right, you don't have to sell it!"

Ding Mao persuaded patiently, and the woman was slightly silent, thinking.

And another older woman finally spoke again!

"The key point is that we don't know how much it's worth, so how do we know the price you gave it?"

It is inevitable for people to have such concerns, and if you want to gain their trust, you must dispel their concerns.

So Ding Mao said: "It's very simple. Just compare the prices of new and old ones and you will know. For example, the price of silver is just over one yuan per gram. A piece of silver is only 26 grams per gram. According to the new silver, it is only 30. Yuan, but we charge 50 yuan, and the dragon-engraved ones cost 80-100 yuan, which is basically double. Do you think it is higher or lower?"

"I went to a jewelry processing place in the county and asked about it before. They seem to sell it for just over one yuan a gram, so it's even cheaper."

The cheerful woman turned around and said to the older woman!

When Ding Mao heard this, he quickly got off the slope and said, "Look, the places where jewelry is processed are not as high as the prices we offer. Doesn't this mean that our prices are not low?"

Both women nodded.

"Auntie, your grandfather has a lot of old stuff, aren't you going to sell it?"

The young woman is already attracted, but she should ask the older woman first!

"You have some at home, do you sell them?"

The older woman asked back!

"It's for sale. It happens to be in front of your house. If Auntie also sells it, she should stick to your house first so that I can go back and look for it!"

The younger woman said she was going back to search, but actually she was just trying to avoid suspicion!

"Okay, I'll sell it if you give me a higher price. It's useless to keep it. It's better to exchange it for real money!"
