Section 807 - Processing
The treasures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in Tiankeng Village are a thousand taels of silver cast "ghost and sorrowful" silver winter melon, five gold ingots, more than 800 copper coins, more than 30 pieces of pearl necklaces and headdresses, and more than 100 pieces of various colored jewelry.
There is no doubt that they were all obtained by fighting local tyrants back then, so the mess is not complete.
The only thing that is really valuable is the five gold bills, which were the usual gifts of large families in the past, but they are the best red gold.
Jewelry materials are mostly silver and copper, there are several kinds of copper, and even iron, but only a hand of slag has long been rusted, and the inlaid gems may not be real, there are glass and ordinary jade, and the glass was rare in the early days, and it became less and less valuable later.
Most of the soldiers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are from a bitter background, where have they seen any good things, they naturally see what they rob, even the poor do not let go, the real good things have been divided by so many kings, and the people below only get some bargains in the end, and they will not have any rare treasures, and it is not easy to accumulate so much gold and silver.
As for silver ingots, don't look at the quantity, in fact, silver is not worth at all now, only three or four yuan a gram, and even ten yuan was not touched at the highest, and one tael in ancient times did not exceed 50 grams, and one tael in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period was about 40 grams, that is, two hundred yuan was not available.
One thousand taels of silver is equivalent to RMB, not counting fire consumption, it is worth at most 160,000, which is equivalent to a fraction of Li Bai's top-equipped Daben.
All kinds of gold, silver and jewelry are added up, and the total value is estimated to be less expensive than a bedroom in the house owned by Lao Chen Tou in Huxi City.
The old village chief was still worried that Li Bai and Lao Chentou Lion would open their mouths and want to divide one or two from them, but they didn't think that the two of them would look down on them at all.
"Don't?"
It was not quite what he had guessed, and the old village chief was taken aback.
Old Chen Tou said affirmatively: "Don't, don't want any of them, what do you want these things for? We're not bad for money, are we? Xiao Li!"
At the same time, he looked at Li Bai.
"There's no shortage of money!"
Li Bai nodded and echoed Lao Chen's statement.
The so-called treasure in Tiankeng Village is no different from tattered to him, whether it is in the storage ring, or the dragon scale space of the Qingyao Demon Maiden, all kinds of exquisite gold and silver jewelry are enough to pile up into a hill, and he once planned to throw it to the empress like garbage to fill the inner library, but before he could do so, he was brought back to this world together, and it was not easy to throw it away, so he had to leave it as it was.
As far as monks are concerned, ordinary yellow and white things are not even worth a spirit crystal or elixir.
"So you're really for the rumors of a 'haunted house'. ”
The old village chief really believed it.
"Huxi Anti-Feudal Superstition Association, you can learn about it. ”
Li Bai took the opportunity to play a wave of small advertisements.
As a small association formed by a group of retired veteran cadres to pass the time, although it is inconspicuous, since its establishment last year, it has done several practical things in a real way.
If you make a name for yourself, you might be able to get more financial allocations next year.
Compared with those little-known small associations that were established in the first half of the year and dissolved in the second half of the year, with a life cycle of less than half a year, the Huxi Anti-Feudal Superstition Association is really much stronger.
After repeating the other party's signboard in his mouth a few times, the old village chief said, "I want to ask what to do with those gold, silver and jewelry." ”
The treasure under the dilapidated old ancestral hall has almost become the demon of the old people left behind in the village, and it is not to stay, it is not to stay, and there is always no suitable way to deal with it.
Now that I have met two people from Huxi City, I am not greedy for treasures, which is more reassuring and I want to hear more opinions.
"I can't help it!"
Old Chen Tou looked at Li Bai again and threw out the burden.
"Xiao Li, you are a rich man, you have to think of a way. ”
Lao Chentou's net worth is at least a few million, neither greedy nor occupied, but thanks to the blessing of the country, the house price has quadrupled in ten years, and it also occupies a hot school district house.
Fortunately, the children and grandchildren do not gnaw at the old, and with the prices in Huxi City, this little money is not enough to gnaw on for a few years.
"It's very simple, report to the cultural relics department, find experts to identify one by one, sort out the not too valuable, sell and auction by professionals or companies, and exchange money for the village to be used for the improvement of the lives of the elderly, medical expenses and children's education, tuition fees and stationery, first the elderly, then the children, if possible, each family pays to get an old and young fund out, unified public, as for the rest of the people don't care, the poor and urgent are not saved. ”
Li Bai planned the whereabouts of these treasures and the use of the converted money in a few words, and even put forward the advice after the dead money was used up.
Originally, it was the wealth left by the ancestors in the village, and it was most suitable for the elderly and children, and it was fair and just.
Like these old people in Tiankeng Village, it is not easy to unite to protect the treasures left by their ancestors, so why make chickens and dogs jump and destroy all the friendships of the villagers.
"Old and young funds?"
The old village chief pondered for a moment, he nodded and said, "I'll discuss it with the others tomorrow, thank you very much." ”
In the end, it is still a monk from outside who can chant the scriptures, and the people in the city have many ideas, and Li Bai's proposal suddenly reached the heart of the old village chief.
Although there are similar ideas in the village, they can't stand the fact that there are too many people to think about it, and coupled with the inevitable selfishness, the opinions are never unified.
Now that there is external intervention, it may be an opportunity.
"Rest early, Xiao Li and I will go back on Sunday afternoon, and we can help you contact the Cultural Relics Bureau and experts." ”
Retired at home, the old Chen Tou who has a holiday every day can continue to stay in the village, but it is always inconvenient.
What's more, Li Bai only used two days of weekends to accompany him out, and he had to go to work on Monday, returning to Huxi City from Tiankeng Village, and he had to leave in the afternoon anyway.
"Thank you!
The old village chief knew that he had met a capable person this time.
For Lao Chentou, finding someone is completely a gesture, and the organization department is specialized in this, and he is familiar with people in various departments, and his connections are first-class and extensive.
After a night of ghosts, Tiankeng Village finally stopped.
Li Bai and Lao Chen Tou slept in the tent until dawn.
After waking up, he washed with a bucket of water, and the old village chief came over with a basket of breakfast, a few alkaline noodles and meat buns, a can of gruel and mustard, which were simple but could fill their stomachs.
The local taste of the countryside is different from the city, the alkaline noodles are yellow, but they are not easy to make stomach reflux than yeast noodles, especially suitable for people with gastrointestinal discomfort.
Near noon, the left-behind old people in Tiankeng Village finally made up their minds.
In fact, before today, they already had similar ideas, but they were always hesitating, and they were so close to the door.
Li Bai's words became a gentle push, which made these old people make up their minds.
The next thing was easy to handle, and the Wucheng Cultural Relics Bureau sent two cultural relics identification experts and a temporary archaeological team, as well as a few collectors who had heard about it, and rushed to Tiankeng Village in a Coaster.
The gold, silver and jewelry, which were stored under the old ancestral hall, were all taken out one by one and disposed of separately.
Soaked in the potion that is easy to decay, a black-skinned winter melon is washed with ammonia, and the black sulfide on the surface is reacted off, revealing the silver light again, "ghost and sorrow" is a symbol of a large family, it is difficult for thieves to move, and it is most suitable for accumulating wealth.
After some appraisal, only a dozen rare varieties were found in a large pile of copper coins, but the highest value was only sold for two thousand yuan, which was not as high as the total price of the remaining pile of copper coins.
Other jewelry and jewelry are only of historical value, and when it comes to preciousness, they are not rare treasures.
However, from the homes of the old people left behind in the village, the experts accidentally found a few pieces of ancient celadon, which were worth almost two or three hundred thousand, and after several rounds of on-site bidding, they were directly sold to collectors from Wucheng.
Unless it's a particularly rare treasure, the government doesn't mind collectors competing with the Rijksmuseum for antiques.
As long as you don't leave Huaxia, no matter whose hands it is, it will rot in your own pot.
What's more, the professional quality of collectors is relatively high, and they can protect these historical relics, which shares the cost of antique maintenance to a certain extent.
Pick up the remaining pile of copper coins, inferior jewelry that is not worth a lot of money, and the silver winter melon that no one wants, all of which were added to five by 21, with a price of 200,000 yuan, and moved to Li Bai's big car.
The Wucheng Cultural Relics Bureau wanted to take it all, but ...... No money is a hard injury!
These things excavated from the underground of the old ancestral hall were finally cleaned and disposed of, and everyone took what they needed, and everyone was happy.
At more than four o'clock in the afternoon, Daben returned along the winding mountain road to the original road in Nanming County.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Lao Chen fiddled with a copper coin in his hand and said, "What are you doing with those piles of rags?
Even he could see that the bits and pieces that had been picked up by the Bureau of Cultural Relics and collectors were not worth much at all.
"Find a beautiful box to wrap it, you can give it as a gift! Some things can also be used as ornaments, which is also good. ”
Li Bai has a way to deal with these cheap antiques, even if it is so many copper coins, he can find a place to go.
"It's worthy of doing business, this mind doesn't make money, it's unreasonable. ”
Old Chen Tou exclaimed, he didn't expect it.
Young people's brains are alive, and they can easily think of solutions, and they will not smash these chicken ribs into their own hands.
Li Bai said generously at this time: "Lao Chen, how many will you pick when you go back?"
