308 Tongzhou is small and has a long history

"Tongzhou is named because many ancient war drums were dug out here in the past. It is said that it was during the Northern Song Dynasty. The natives here rebelled, and Jiaozhi was the Annan Kingdom in the south now, and took the opportunity to invade Guangdong and Guangxi.

Later, Di Qing, a famous general of the Northern Song Dynasty, brought troops to suppress the rebellion. His daughter-in-law seemed to be the vanguard, and the main battlefield was in Tongzhou. After a big battle, she killed An Nan's 100,000 troops, which was a river of blood.

It was the hot summer, and Di Qing's daughter-in-law was afraid of a plague, so she asked the soldiers to bury the enemy's body on the spot, and many war drums were buried together!"

Although the weasel has a low level of education, it is still clear about its own unofficial history and county annals.

As a college student who graduated from the Department of Archaeology, Chen Xiu knew about the battle between the Northern Song Dynasty and Jiaozhi in history, but he didn't know about Di Qing's daughter-in-law and a pioneer general. He didn't know about the history books.

"Maybe the history is long, and the stories of local people spreading rumors may not be Di Qing's daughter-in-law!"

Chen Xiu didn't really believe the stories circulating in the market, but he was interested in the so-called unearthed bronze drums.

You know that he has collected antiques for so long and has never seen the war drum left on the ancient battlefield. Since it is named after the bronze drum, it must be different from the ordinary unmade war drums. It must be a bronze drum body that can't be unearthed after being buried for thousands of years. He couldn't help but ask: "How big is the unearthed war drum?"

The weasel gestured with his hands and said, "It's probably that big."

Jing Fawu, who was driving in front, couldn't help but complain: "Nonsense, you're talking about it as big as a water tank. You know, in ancient times, copper was used for money, who would like to use so much money to make a war drum on the battlefield!"

"I really didn't lie to you. I saw one unearthed when I was a child!"

The weasel swore to say: "At that time, some people in our village wanted to build a house in their own home. At that time, they dug out such a large bronze drum from the mountain. But it was so heavy that it was only a dozen people carried it out at that time."

When Chen Xiu heard this, he was even more curious about the bronze drum. Only a dozen people could lift it. The weight was obviously no less than that of the bronze bell in the temple. If a few of this thing could be brought back to auction, it would definitely be sold at a good price.

"What happened later?"

"Later I heard that it was the Cultural Bureau who spent more than 100 yuan to take away the bronze bell!"

"More than one hundred yuan, this is not similar to grabbing!"

Damn, such a large copper bell is sold as scrap copper and iron, and it is estimated that more than this price.

No wonder the collector Ma Ma Du said that he didn't have any money to collect antiques in the 1980s and 1990s. At that time, those people didn't know what antiques were. They went to the family to see good things, and helped others move gas tanks and other things and fooled them back a large overglaze bowl of Kangxi.

"Yes, later, some people dug out a lot of good things, including pots and pans, and they will not be sold to people from the Cultural Relics Bureau. However, that is not safe. Many of them were secretly sold to Hong Kong merchants and were caught. They have not yet come out."

"Pots and pans? Have you even unearthed ceramics here?"

This was a big surprise from Chen Xiu. He could not have imagined that so many things had been unearthed in this small county-level city! But it was clear that this place was once the main battlefield between the Northern Song Dynasty and Jiaozhi. I guess this place was also an important town in ancient times.

"It has been unearthed. It is said that someone sold a vase to Hong Kong merchants in the 1990s. Guess how much it cost!"

"How much?"

Jing Fawu, who was driving, was also interested.

"More than 900,000!"

The weasel said with envy: "You must know that it was the 1990s that time, and a house cost only tens of thousands of yuan, but it is tens of millions of yuan now!"

Jing Fawu couldn't help but wonder: "It's true or false. How long has it been unearthed in such a small county town? How valuable can it be unearthed?"

"Hey, brother, don't believe me. Our county is a Feng Shui treasure land, but it has a history of thousands of years. You know Su Dongpo, you know that there are poems written by him in Chinese books."

"word!"

Chen Xiu corrected him and said, "There are poems, but his lyrics are quite famous. Why, your small county town has something to do with Su Dongpo?"

"Of course there is! There is also a Dongpo Pavilion here. It is said that when Su Dongpo was exiled to Lingnan, he passed by us. The song "Eat 300 lychees a day" is said to have been written in the Dongpo Pavilion at that time."

After hearing what the weasel said, Chen Xiu couldn't help but think: "I really didn't expect this small place to have such a long history. If the weasel had not bragged, the vases dug out by the farmers would probably be something from the Northern Song Dynasty.

If it is an official kiln, it would be normal to sell one piece at a price of over 100 million yuan.

It seems that the Hong Kong merchants used to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to take them away, which really made them earn to death!

No, after I rescued my dad, I must walk around here to see if I can pick up a bargain and take out a few good things to go back!

If you can't get out of the Northern Song Dynasty official kiln, it's better to get a bronze drum back!"

...

The group chatted in the car, and soon arrived at the entrance of Fulin Hotel.

"That's Uncle Li. One of them is Lin Yuan's personal bodyguard. I have never seen the one wearing glasses."

While the car was parked, the weasel stood at the door in the car and waited for everyone to arrive. Uncle Li pointed it out to Chen Xiu.

Chen Xiu looked out of the car and saw that Uncle Li was in his fifties and was not tall, but his pair of tricks were very smart everywhere. He couldn't help but think: "This old guy is afraid it's not easy to fool!"

At that moment, he said to Victoria: "When you pass later, you pretend not to speak Chinese. If the other party asks you, you will use Russian to say anything. Xiaowu and I will act as your translator and assistant, and I will deal with everything."

"I understand!" Victoria nodded and responded.

Jing Fawu checked his weapons and got off the car first. Then there was Victoria. When the weasel was about to get off the car, Chen Xiu patted his shoulder and warned him: "Don't make tricks, you have seen the gun on Xiao Wu. If you dare to betray us, you will surely beat you into a hornet's nest first!"

The weasel quickly expressed his opinion: "Brother Chen, don't worry! Lao Huang, I want money even if I don't want my life. I'm waiting for my money for six million. I'm not close to Lin's relatives, why can't I get along with the money?"

"Just understand!"

...

"Uncle Li, how can you get out to greet you in person!"

After getting off the car, the weasel took everyone into the hotel door and shouted loudly. He ran up and held Uncle Li's hand.
