Chapter 229 Stamps

"Well, the water in the ancient tomb is cold and poisonous, and it is accidentally eaten and killed. The water in the grain poppy has a spicy taste and is poisonous, which is the water in the ancient tomb. When you wash your eyes and see ghosts, it makes you feel bored."

"Damn it? Is this a bit of a matter of course?"

"It may also be compiled based on previous classic records and follow the crowd. It is not known that the ancient books are too numerous, and not all of them are the essence."

"So, there are ghosts and gods inside, wash your eyes more and you can tell them clearly. This is true."

"...This can be done back for you..." Zhang Lu couldn't help but be speechless.

This meal was a hard meal. After eating it, Zhou Zhi sent the girls home.

The normal route should have first sent Feng Xueshan to the nearest, then went up the small slope to send Jiang Shuyi to his home, and then sent Zhang Xinyi along the new highway.

However, there was no time to be alone with Jiang Shuyi, so Zhou Zhi would take Feng Xueshan back to the electric power company dormitory first, and then walk through the city street to send Zhang Xinyi, then cross the camphor forest and return to the new highway, and then send Jiang Shuyi home.

It just so happened that the cushion that my grandmother made for Doctor Zhao was ready and I will send it together today.

Physician Zhao’s cushions are very particular. The first thing to do when attending a medicine shop in the third year of the New Year is to change the cushions.

Since Dr. Zhao cured his grandmother from being paralyzed to being able to walk on the wall, this has become an unwritten habit of Dr. Zhao.

Next year is the Year of the Monkey, so although the colors on the top of the mat are spliced, they are divided into three levels from the visual effect.

The outermost layer is the Bagua diagram, and the corresponding eight treasures in the picture is the eight treasures. The eight treasures pattern is surrounded by the character "Shen", and a five-flowered monkey three is pressed on it.

The reason why it is called the Five Flower Monkey is that the monkey has embroidered a pattern representing hair spiral on its knees, elbows and forehead, which add up to five flowers.

It should be said that the overall design is very designed. In addition to being exquisite, there are also cultural elements and series elements, which is similar to...stamps.

Zhou Zhi was also collecting stamps, but his purpose was different from porcelain and calligraphy and paintings. His purpose was very pure - monetization.

However, due to the limitations of local foreign exchanges, the most valuable thing in Zhou Zhi’s hand is the Gengshen Monkey Slogan.

Monkey stamp, also known as Gengshen Monkey, or Golden Monkey, is the first zodiac stamp of the Republic issued by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications in 1980.

The background of the monkey stamp is red, and the pattern is a golden monkey drawn by the famous painter Huang Yongyu.

There are eighty pieces in one edition, with a circulation of about five million pieces and an area of ​​eight cents.

Now Zhou Zhi has several monkey tickets collected from several counties and cities near Manzhou. Of course, there is no full version of the eighty consecutive pictures. The largest one is a four-by-four four-six consecutive pictures.

In addition, there is a series that Zhou Zhi himself is very interested in - text tickets.

Text stamps refer to nineteen sets of eighty special commemorative stamps issued in 1967 and 1970s.

During that period, the stamp number that had been used for many years was cancelled and replaced by new marks such as "Wen 1" and "Wen 2" on the edge paper part of the whole page, so it was called "Wen 1" and "Wen 2".

Since many stamps contain portraits of leaders, the stamps are specially increased to prevent them from covering the face of the person when stamping.

They are specific products of a specific historical period, reflecting the historical style of that turbulent era, and leaving a lot of real information for future generations to think and study, so Zhou Zhi was quite interested.

In addition, it is not too long since that era, and these tickets are not too difficult to collect.

Of course, what is really precious during this period is the kind of "unissued invoices", which is because of various special reasons that did not flow into the market and was eventually reclaimed and destroyed, with only a few rare treasures.

The most famous one is "The Mountains and Rivers in the Country" which is divided into "Big Red" and "Little Red", as well as "Long Live the National Victory" and "Black Inscription".

If you can get these types of tickets, it will be a way to get money. Unfortunately, it is an opportunity for northerners. Zhou Zhi has never found it in the Manzhou Post Market.

Now Zhou Zhi’s most valuable items are not bought from the postage market, but from the Jiachuan County Armed Forces Department - Blue Army Post.

In 1953, the Ministry of Communications of the Military Commission and the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications agreed that in order to give preferential treatment for active-duty soldiers, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications was responsible for designing and printing a set of stamps specially used for "soldiers".

There are three stamps in total. The stamp pattern is a military emblem, and the words "For military posting", "Chinese People's Post" and "800 yuan" are printed below the military emblem.

The patterns and face values ​​of the three stamps are the same, except that the background colors are orange, brown and blue. They were later called "yellow military post", "purple military post" and "blue military post" respectively in the philatelic industry.

Among them, Huang Junyi and Zi Junyi were issued first. Shortly after the Blue Junyi post was issued, major military regions successively received reports from the troops, believing that it was very easy to expose the troops' numbers, garrisons, flow conditions, etc. from the envelope, and it was not convenient to control the scope of use.

After realizing this problem, the country quickly stopped using it and reclaimed it. All the remaining large number of stamps were destroyed, so the least leaked among them was the Blue Army stamp.

Zhou Zhi found several boxes of discarded envelopes at the Jiachuan Armed Forces Department, and they were thrown into the warehouse as garbage, and there were no letters inside.

Zhou Zhi asked Fang’s father to learn about the situation at that time. It turned out that during that period, handling letters sent to soldiers serving in other places and sending letters from soldiers’ families was also one of the work of the People’s Armed Forces Department.

Many soldiers left their hometowns at a young age and could not even read. They did not have the opportunity to write letters to go home after literacy in the military. The names and addresses of relatives were written incorrectly. These tasks were handled by the People's Army Department.

They handle letters and have a dedicated person to record a set of archiving procedures.

The envelope was not listed, and no one realized its value, so several boxes were left in the warehouse, and no one knew it over time.

So Zhou Zhi honestly and unceremoniously collected these boxes of garbage. Most of the envelopes were military stamps, and very few were carrying tickets. Zhou Zhi sorted out some old stamps of some value from inside, including two yellow military stamps, two purple military stamps, and one very precious blue military stamp.

The vast majority of the remaining ones are "text tickets" and "old Jite".

The most precious ones in "Old Jite" include "Goldfish", "Chrysanthemum", "Mei Lanfang", "Butterfly", "Huangshan", and "Peony". Among them, "Mei Lanfang" and "Peony" also have two small pictures. The prices are not high now. In fact, even if they are placed in later generations, the price is not too high, and the circulation is relatively large. Zhou Zhi easily gathered them all.

Zhou Zhi’s plan is to take out the monkey tickets and military posts in his hand according to the right time, and just use the “text tickets” and “Lao Jite” as collection.

Doctor Zhao was not at home as always. Although the elderly were not in the system, they worked diligently and had to work until the 29th day of the New Year. On the second day of the New Year, they had to take a pulse diagnosis and medical box to sit in the hall.

In the words of the elderly, it means that the sick family will not choose a life when they come to the house. Instead of asking the apprentice to take it home, for example, opening the door to work early, you should be more practical.

The old man seemed to have never thought about it, but in fact he could let others do it first and lie down for a while. It was this kind of "unthinking" that made Zhou Zhi's family admire him very much.
