Chapter 159

The system panel popped up.

【Six Springs】

【Type: Currency】

【Era: Xin Dynasty】

【Material: Copper】

【The Six Springs were minted in the second year of Wang Mang's reign (10 AD). There are the Small Spring, Young Spring, Juvenile Spring, Middle Spring, Robust Spring, and Great Spring—a currency that collects all patterns together, commonly known as the Six Coins.】

Fang Yang scrubbed hard at the copper rust. "This is a type of copper coin!"

"Copper coin?"

Chen Feng was stunned and immediately took it over to look closely.

Looking at it this way, it had the patterns of six types of copper coins embedded on it.

"It really is a copper coin? Was this also reformed during Wang Mang's era?"

Fang Yang nodded. "Yes! Its name is Six Springs; it collects the patterns of six types of copper coins. Isn't it very unique!"

"Indeed, the folk customs back then were simple; I guess they couldn't accept this kind of money for a while!"

Fang Yang didn't continue chatting but sat on the excavator to keep digging.

After just a few minutes of digging, dozens more copper coins were unearthed.

【Contract Knife Five Hundred】

【Type: Currency】

【Era: Xin Dynasty】

【Material: Copper】

【The coin body is also divided into upper and lower parts. The upper part is a square-holed round copper coin, and the lower part is a knife-shaped coin. The inscription is the seal script for 'Five Hundred'. One can be exchanged for 500 ordinary Five-Zhu coins!】

【One Knife Equals Five Thousand】

【Type: Currency】

【Era: Xin Dynasty】

【Material: Copper】

【The legendary Gold-Inlaid Knife, divided into two parts: the ring handle and the knife body. The ring handle is a square-holed round coin. This is equivalent to 5,000 ancient units; one can be exchanged for 5,000 of the most common copper Five-Zhu coins.】

——【Damn, so much money, we're rich! These coins all look so strange.】

——【If I'm not mistaken, these should all be copper coins from the Wang Mang period. They are indeed very distinctive, but he kept making new coins to reduce the influence of the original Han Dynasty, and ended up collapsing the country!】

——【Don't underestimate these coins, especially the biggest one. You might not be able to buy one on the market for 50,000 yuan. If I had dug this up, I would definitely have kept it private.】

——【Wang Mang's whole life fits the characteristics of a time traveler, except for his ending—being beheaded and dismembered!】

Chen Feng was stunned. "What's going on? Why are there so many copper coins in this place?"

Fang Yang didn't know either. Could someone have buried the money here?

You have to know that Wang Mang was only in power for 15 years, but he discovered many interesting currencies.

And because they didn't circulate well, very few survived.

This led to the coins made by Wang Mang being much, much more expensive on the market than ordinary copper coins.

The workers around were already restless; they all regretted letting Fang Yang come to dig.

If they had dug it themselves, they might be rich by now.

They thought they could still dig up copper coins, but Fang Yang dug in the same place for a while and found nothing.

Could it really just be a coincidence that someone happened to bury money here?

This question lingered in everyone's mind; they all wanted to know what this place was for.

Next, they dug up some iron ore and copper ore, and even stones!

Even more absurdly, there were bones!

It's just that these bones had completely decayed.

Not long after being dug out, they fell apart and were ruined.

However, just at this moment.

Fang Yang took a scoop, feeling like he had scooped something slightly hard; his intuition told him it had been snapped.

Others didn't see anything unusual, but he knew there was definitely something.

You have to know that what they dug before was almost all hard stuff, the kind that couldn't be easily snapped.

But this one broke instantly.

It greatly piqued his curiosity.

Chen Feng saw Fang Yang jump down and immediately asked suspiciously, "Did you find something?"

Fang Yang nodded and pointed to the position under the bucket. "I suspect there's something here. Help me clear the soil!"

"Okay!"

With the effort of several people, they soon saw a gray object covered in mud.

And it had already been split into two halves by the bucket.

Fang Yang and Chen Feng each picked up a piece to clean off the mud.

One minute later.

Chen Feng suddenly exclaimed, "Fang Yang, look! There's something on this!"

Fang Yang smiled; in fact, he had already seen it.

【Pottery Mother Mold (Coin Mold)】

【Function: Coin Casting】

【Template: Great Spring Fifty】

Chen Feng became more and more suspicious as he looked. "Could this be a coin mold used for casting money?"

Fang Yang nodded. "What we are holding is a coin mold used for casting money during the Xin Dynasty of Wang Mang; what's engraved on it is 'Great Spring Fifty'!"

"Hiss~~ A coin mold, plus the Han Dynasty items, could this place be..."

"Exactly! This place should be the coin-casting workshop used by Wang Mang back then!"

Now everyone was shocked!

A coin-casting workshop!

Whenever anyone thinks of this name, they involuntarily think of a large amount of money.

Everyone likes money, but no one dares to make it. I believe everyone has wondered if a place where money is made is full of money everywhere!

However, just as everyone was stunned.

Fang Yang's words shocked everyone again: "Everything we've dug up so far are tools for casting money. Since there is copper ore and copper slag here, it means this place must not have been abandoned back then. Plus the copper coins we dug up before, if I'm not mistaken, there must be a money vault here, specifically used for storing copper coins!"

Boom~~

These words were like a bomb exploding in everyone's heads!

If that's true, how much money is below?

A bag? Or a big box?

Or perhaps a whole cellar full?

Thinking of this, everyone's breathing became rapid.

No matter which result it was, as long as it was excavated, it would be an exaggerated amount of wealth.

However, before they could finish being shocked, Fang Yang dropped another bombshell!

"The copper coins here aren't ordinary copper coins. Historically, the era Wang Mang existed in was extremely short, but the copper coins he issued were very exquisitely made. Plus, very few survived, so just this small handful we dug up, if taken to auction, could sell for at least 1 million!"

After hearing this, Chen Feng's face flushed red, and his breathing became rapid.

Even he couldn't help but get nervous.
