From the Island Owner to the King

Suddenly, Chen Rui stopped, squatted down, and used the sword of the sun to dig up the soil on the ground, about 20 centimeters deep, and a clay pot appeared. Chen Rui continued to dig and dug out the clay pot.

It was a very rough clay pot, the pot was heavy and had something in it.

Chen Rui removed the dirt on the edge of the pot and found that there was a jar of coins in the pot.

Chen Rui said to the camera, "The discovery of this pot of coins shows that the private ownership of this indigenous tribe has already occurred, and the indigenous people need to exchange coins for other people's private goods."

Chen Rui poured out all the coins in the pot, and a large number of shells were mixed with (pig) (pig) (island) (novel) www.zhu mixed with pottery, copper, and gold imitation shell-shaped currency.

Chen Rui said, "Although the primitive civilization on the surface and the primitive civilization in the center of the earth have not communicated and contacted, the development of many things is common.

The most primitive trading method is barter, but cattle, sheep, pigs and other livestock cannot be divided.

This urgently needs an exchange intermediary to change this transaction method, and the most primitive and ideal transaction currency shell appears.

Shells are small and exquisite, bright in color, sturdy and durable, and can become a favorite ornament of primitive residents. They have a certain value in themselves. Due to the characteristics of moderate size, easy portability, and easy counting, shells have become the main currency and gradually serve as commodity exchanges. The general equivalent of the functions. "

With the development of commodity exchange, the demand for money is increasing, and shells can no longer meet people's needs. So began to use pottery, copper to imitate shells. Pottery and copper coins appeared. "

"A large number of shell coins were found in this clay pot. There are some imitation shell coins mixed with pottery, copper and gold, which tell us a lot about the indigenous tribes who once lived here.

1. The productivity and society of indigenous tribes have made great development and progress, and the social material wealth is relatively rich. The indigenous tribe or a family of the indigenous tribe has a lot of surplus products that can be exchanged for other urgently needed supplies, which has led to the shortage of shell coins. , When people's trading needs cannot be met, people began to imitate shell coins with pottery, copper and gold. As a supplement to shell coins for trading, pottery coins, copper coins, and gold coins appeared.

2. The currency found in the clay pot, a large number of shell coins, a small amount of pottery coins, copper coins, and gold coins, shows that the development of the currency of the indigenous tribes is in the early stage of the transition from natural currency to 'artificial currency'. If combined with indigenous tribes The size of the city, the population, basically. The productivity level of the indigenous tribes and the stage of social development can be inferred.

3,

There are 12 gold coins in a pot of currency, which is more than the number of copper coins. It means that gold is not an unusually precious metal here. Gold is very easy to mine here, and the reserves are very large.

Chen Rui put the currency back into the clay pot and put it into the pregnant sea pearl space.

Next, Chen Rui found more things in the ruins, pottery, pottery fragments, bronzes and gold utensils and other utensils.

Chen Rui picked up a gold pot, pointed the gold pot to the camera lens, and said, "This is a gold vessel, the shape is very similar to that of a pot, with an open mouth, a flat edge, a square lip, a short neck, wide shoulders, and a round belly. , big belly, small flat bottom.

The gold pot is very large and heavy. The wall of the gold pot is about 1 cm thick. I mentioned it. The gold pot is estimated to weigh 6 kg. At least 7 kg to 8 kg of gold was used to make this gold pot. .

No ornamentation or lettering was found on the belly, bottom, mouth and inner wall of the golden pot, and the production was relatively rough.

From the perspective of shape, workmanship, and decoration, this golden pot is not enough to be a decorative device. It is a living utensil. It is used to hold water and store things. It is really a luxury thing! ! Perhaps, we think it's very extravagant for them to pack things in 6kg gold cans.

However, the indigenous people who used to live here don’t see it this way, because gold is very easy to mine on this land, and the reserves are very large. It is a very common metal that is easy to mine and smelt. Compared with bronze, bronze is a kind of metal. Brass, an alloy of lead or tin, is much more valuable than gold.

Therefore, this golden pot, here, is a living tool that ordinary indigenous people can use. "

Chen Rui put the gold pot into the pregnant Haizhu space.

Continue to search for artifacts in the ruins.

Chen Rui used his divine sense to scan the ground in a carpet-like manner. After searching the ground, he drilled into the ground to find—

the following few days.

Chen Rui searched the entire ruins inch by inch.

The ruins are actually not big, in the shape of a square, about 2000 meters from north to south, about 1400 meters from east to west, and an area of ​​about 3 square kilometers.

Chen Rui has gained a lot from the ruins, and the number of artifacts is very large.

Mainly gold, gold utensils, pottery, and bronze wares are all collected in the Pregnant Sea Pearl space.

Chen Rui made a rough count of the harvest.

First, there are 946 pieces of pottery, complete, excluding pottery fragments.

These pottery are mainly made of muddy gray pottery and sand-filled pottery. The shape of the pottery is mainly used as cooking utensils, food utensils, and more as containers, mainly for living utensils.

There are few pottery with decorative decorations, about 40 to 50 pieces. However, each of them is a fine pottery, and the decoration is exquisite. If a pottery exhibition hall is opened, these fine pottery pottery are definitely eye-catching things.

There are 781 gold utensils, gold and gold shells are not counted.

Gold utensils are mainly living utensils, as well as ornaments made of gold.

Compared with the exquisiteness of the fine pottery, it is eye-catching. In addition to the value of gold, the artistic value of gold ware is 0, and the value of cultural relics is very limited. To use one word to describe the gold ware found by Chen Rui in the ruins, it is stupid and crude. , the purity of gold is very low, yellow () color with blue, yellow (-0-) color with light red, even blue with white light, the production is relatively rough, compared to the superb gold smelting and purification technology of the Inca civilization , superb gold production, processing technology, far less.

Among the 781 pieces of gold utensils found by Chen Rui in the ruins, there are many large ones.

Chen Rui found a giant golden statue with a height of 12.7 meters and a weight of more than 40 tons in the ruins, which shocked the audience all over the world.

If Chen Rui smelted all the gold objects found in the ruins, it is estimated that 4,500 tons of gold could be melted. (To be continued.)
