With the addition of Hu Xinxin as a fresh force, the wrap-up work went very smoothly, and this "ant-moving" activity was completely finished in just over a week.
Only that renovated mound of earth proves that someone once came here.
Once home, Zhang Long couldn't wait to dive into the pile of treasures and start taking inventory.
This made Hu Xinxin even more certain of one thing: the man she had chosen was truly blessed with great fortune; even while browsing a flea market, he could stumble upon a treasure map left behind by a former warlord.
Zhang Long transferred 3 million yuan to each of the three engineers who were dispatched this time as a bonus.
Fortunately, this was someone from the system's big daddy. If it were an ordinary person, they would have already started arguing. "You eat so much, aren't you afraid of choking to death?!"
There are 5 boxes of large yellow croaker, 100 pieces per box; 11 and a half boxes of small yellow croaker, 1000 pieces per box; a total of 28 boxes of silver dollars, 3000 pieces per box; and 7 boxes of antique calligraphy and paintings.
After the statistics were completed, Zhang Long was completely dumbfounded, and all he could say was "Holy crap!"
500 large yellow croakers, each weighing 312.5 grams, that's 0.5 grams. 100 small yellow croakers, each weighing 31.25 grams, add up to 0.5 grams. Just these two types of yellow croakers alone weigh 0.5 grams!
This number might not be very intuitive, but converted to current prices, it's 482.8125 kilograms. At the current gold price, that's 281.51 per gram, which is 0.75!
In addition, Zhang Long also found 500 gold silver dollars in a box containing small yellow croakers. These were made by the warlord to curry favor with his superior, Lu Yongxiang. They were engraved with the name of Lu Yongxiang, the military governor of Zhejiang, and the name of Duan Qirui, the boss of his boss.
Zhang Long searched around curiously, but surprisingly couldn't find the warlord's own item.
Were all warlords this rich back then?
"This is only one-third of his wealth!"
The current silver dollars are even more impressive, totaling 84,000, and they are absolutely genuine. After all, they were the property of warlords during the Beiyang period, so how could they be fake?
If he were to disclose the number of dollars he currently holds, he would definitely be able to drive down the current price of dollars.
As for antiques and calligraphy, he really didn't know anything about them, but anything that could be collected by warlords must be a good thing.
Hu Xinxin was overjoyed along with Zhang Long. Although her husband's wealth was definitely greater than this treasure, who could resist the feeling of having so much gold in front of them?
At this moment, Hu Xinxin suddenly remembered something, took out a bag of banknotes wrapped in a plastic bag from her backpack, and handed it to Zhang Long: "Brother Long, these are the banknotes I found in my grandmother's dowry. See if you like them."
Zhang Long was deeply moved; it turned out this little girl had gone to find him money.
Although he doesn't really need it right now, how could he refuse his girlfriend's feelings?
He happily opened the plastic bag, and judging from its thickness, he knew it must contain quite a lot.
Sure enough, this stack of money consisted of brand new bills that were in excellent condition (the kind that had never been used). Judging by its thickness, there must have been at least 200 bills.
Zhang Long neatly sorted the banknotes, then looked at Hu Xinxin with surprise.
He was also "Holy crap!"
Nearly half of the stack of money Hu Xinxin brought this time was black ten (a unit of currency in Chinese currency).
He silently calculated the time. Xin Xin had told him last time that his grandfather was 74 and his grandmother was 71.
Grandma Hu is 71 years old this year, which means she was born in 1945.
People got married young back then, often at 18 or 19.
If you calculate it that way, they must have gotten married in 1963 or 1964.
The "Big Black Ten" was issued starting in April 1964, meaning that only banknotes were collected but not paid out. No wonder there are so many "Big Black Tens" here.
Hu Xinxin chuckled and said, "Hehe, this is my grandma's most treasured dowry. I begged her for a long time before she gave it to me."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Long chuckled: "Hehe, then you really are a little rich woman!"
Do you know how much this big black eleven is worth?
"These are so new, each one is probably worth tens of thousands of yuan. This whole stack could buy a nice big house in Shanghai!"
Hu Xinxin playfully lifted Zhang Long's chin with her delicate white fingers: "Alright, then I'll use this money to keep you as my sugar daddy. You have to treat me well from now on, okay?"
The words had barely left his mouth when Zhang Long silenced him with a kiss, and the anger he had been holding back for so long suddenly erupted.
That night, intermittent meows could be heard coming from the room...
The next day, Zhang Long went out and ordered many boxes to hold silver coins, specifically for storing the top-quality coins he had selected.
This guy buried these silver dollars in 1924.
In other words, none of the more valuable ship-shaped silver dollars that appeared 24 years later were produced, which is a real pity.
Back then in Shanghai, many people did business with foreigners, so they mostly used Mexican silver dollars.
Of the silver dollars Zhang Long acquired this time, three or four out of ten were American dollars (鸥鵬), but of course, there were also many different large denominations, given the sheer number of them.
In just one morning, he had roughly sorted out all the silver dollars.
I have sorted out a number of eagle-shaped silver dollars, including a number of common big-head silver dollars and a number of small-head silver dollars.
Finally, there was his collection target: those slightly different silver coins, totaling [number missing].
It's impossible to completely break down all these silver dollars in just one morning; it took him a whole morning just to organize them.
We’ll talk about the future later!
After thinking about it, everything is now taken care of, so let's submit the task!
"System Daddy!"
"Submit the Coin Collector's Quest!"

Especially that master-level knowledge of coins—that's a treasure that money can't buy.
How long does it take for a complete novice to learn and how many times do they have to suffer setbacks before they can reach the level of a master?
He had experienced it firsthand before; it felt like being overwhelmed by a jumble of complicated memories—extremely, extremely uncomfortable, and he almost went insane.
