My identity as a collector was exposed by the village flower

Chapter 164 The Great Dragon Stamp
Not long after, a large pile of envelopes appeared in front of Fang Xing.

Fang Xing didn't bother, he read every stamp on the envelope.It's a pity that almost no more precious ones have been seen.

Finally, an old woman walked over tremblingly, supported by others.

I saw that even the village chief hurried forward and greeted respectfully: "Old ancestor, why are you here?"

"The boss donated money to us and built roads for us. Of course I have to thank you." Although the old lady is old, she still speaks very loudly and full of spirit.

The village head quickly introduced.

"Old lady, you're too polite." Fang Xing was also shocked. No matter what era he was in, an old man in his 90s was very respectable.

Mayor Tang also came forward to say hello and perform the gift of the younger generation.

"Ah! These years, our village has really failed to live up to expectations. If it weren't for the support of the town government every year, our village could barely make ends meet. Once there is a sick person in the family, it would be miserable." The old lady also thanked the town government.

After finishing speaking, she also took out two letters, which were so old that they had turned yellow.

"I heard that stamps used to be valuable. I forgot when these two letters were written! Boss, take a look. If it's useful, I'll give it to you!"

The old lady felt that this was the only thing she could thank Boss Fang for.

She didn't say she would sell it, but gave it away as a reward for Fang Xing's contributions to their village.

I have to say that although the old man is old, his mind is not dizzy, he is sensible, and he knows how to repay his kindness.

It is also because of this quality that she has the title of ancestor in Zhangmutou Village. The whole village, even the worst people, dare not disobey the words of the ancestor.

give me?

Fang Xing was surprised. He took the envelope and thought to himself, even if it is worthless in a while, he has to pretend to be valuable, so as not to make the old man feel ashamed.

However, when his eyes fell on the stamp on the envelope, he was a little dumbfounded.

He exclaimed: "Dalong stamp?"

This is China's first set of stamps, a full set of 3 stamps, with face values ​​calculated in taels of silver: 1 cent silver (green), 3 cents silver (red), and 5 cents silver (orange).The image of the stamp is a dragon, lined with clouds and water waves.

Before the issue, Qing Customs designed three sketches of stamps, namely Yunlong, Pagoda and Ten Thousand Years with Elephants, among which "Wannian with Elephants" is the most precious and priceless.Dragon stamps come in thin paper dragons, broadside dragons, and thick paper dragons.

The stamps on the two letters are all 3-cent silver Dalong stamps, which are old Dalong 3-cent silver straight, double, and missing teeth.

Seeing Fang Xing's reaction, everyone knew that the stamp must be worth a lot.

"Worth it?" The village head couldn't help asking.

"The first set of postage stamps issued by our country, what do you think?"

Good guy!First set of stamps?No need to guess, it must be worth the money.

"Old lady! These two stamps are very valuable, so don't give them away. Besides, you old man can just call me Brother Xing, and the people in the village call me that too, don't call me the boss." Fang Xing persuaded.

If it was an ordinary postage stamp, Fang Xing would take it as soon as he took it, as if fulfilling the old lady's wish of repaying others, and making her old man happy and happy.

However, such precious stamps should be left to others!

The old ancestor smiled and patted Fang Xing's hand: "Okay! Then wake up brother. Your Yunwu Village is really smoking, and you have such a promising boy.

This stamp!It is worth some money, old lady, I am ashamed to give it to you.child!take it!I heard from Xiao Zhong that you donated more than 70 yuan to our village and spent more than 1000 million yuan on road construction.

In our village, there are too few things that can be handed out, and we don't know how to repay you. "

Fang Xing still shook his head: "These two stamps are now worth more than 100 million. 20 years ago, each of these stamps could fetch a sky-high price of more than 50 Hong Kong dollars."

There was a burst of exclamation at the scene.

20 years ago, it was worth more than 50 Hong Kong dollars?This is too incredible.Now, can't it be doubled?Two, must be more than 100 million!

Originally, the village chief wanted to persuade Fang Xing to accept his ancestor's wishes.

But now, shut up immediately, and dare not persuade.After all, it is more than 100 million!How can you give up?Although it is the ancestor's personal property, it can't be given to other people like this, right?

"Compared to what you gave to our village, Brother Xing, it's nothing to mention. So, don't say any more. This is also my heart from the old lady." Although the old lady was a little surprised, she was not reluctant. expression.

At her age, money is also meaningless to her.

As a bystander, Mayor Tang secretly praised the wisdom of the old lady.

Sending this out is equivalent to making Fang Xing owe a favor, and will take better care of them in Zhangmutou Village in the future.Two stamps, a very valuable gift.

Besides, it's only about 100 million.How much did Fang Xing invest in Zhangmutou Village?In comparison, it is really not worth mentioning.

The most sensible person in this village is this old lady!

Just like the village chief and others, when they heard that it was worth more than 100 million, they all shut up immediately. Obviously, they were not willing to let the ancestors give away such a valuable treasure for nothing.

Compared with the old lady, this realm is indeed much worse.

Seeing the old lady's firm attitude, Fang Xing sighed inwardly.He is a smart man, and he quickly saw the old lady's intentions.

"Gift from the elders, you can't deny it! Alright, I'll accept that kid brazenly."

At most, I will take more care of them in Zhangmutou Village in the future.

"That's right!" The old lady gave the gift out, very happy.

Next, without disturbing Fang Xing, he ordered the two people who were supporting her to return home.At her age, she doesn't want to go out all the time.

"An old man in a family is like a treasure! There is nothing wrong with this old saying." Mayor Tang laughed.

After finishing speaking, he whispered to the village chief: "The ancestors of your village are the real smart people. This made Fang Xing feel ashamed not to take care of your Zhangmutou Village."

Awakened by such a little bit, the village chief also reacted immediately, with a smile on his face.

yes!For a million yuan, they bought Boss Fang and took care of them in Zhangmutou Village. No matter how you look at it, it was a good deal for them!

Fang Xing opened one of the envelopes, and was surprised to find that besides a piece of letter paper, there was also a bank note from the Qing Dynasty.

The history of bank notes in my country has a long history, and the "silver notes" of the Northern Song Dynasty are the earliest bank notes in China and the world.The Yuan Dynasty mainly used silver bills, and the Yuan Dynasty system was adopted in the early Ming Dynasty. The "Daming Treasure Banknotes" issued during the reign of Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty used mulberry paper as the banknote material. The banknotes are always one foot high and six inches wide. It is the largest silver note in China.

At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, silver notes were not printed, but due to the country's difficulties, "household bank notes" were issued, referred to as "official notes".Later, "Great Qing Treasure Banknotes" were issued, referred to as "Treasure Banknotes".

The one in front of me is the treasured banknote of the Qing Dynasty.
