There must be brave men under the heavy reward, not to mention the fact that they are just digging through the construction debris - but the bodyguards did not move, but the armed driver intervened with the construction workers and let the workers do it. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Jackson was also very thoughtful, and sent the stall out first.

That person didn't have a temper at all, and thought that he was running into a mafia business: as for Zhang Nan's three Asian faces, it's not surprising, there are more than 100 mafia families, who doesn't have a few friends!

Maybe it's a friend from a big mafia family coming to Italy, it doesn't matter if it's Japanese or Chinese, the important thing is that the $500 in his pocket is real.

The mafia is not a gangster, it still pays attention to rules, and generally has nothing to do with ordinary people.

Watching the construction workers quickly clean up the mountain-like garbage heap, while the bodyguards on the side stared at the surveillance, Xiang Weirong and Guan Xingquan took the two copies of "Yongle Canon" in Zhang Nan's hands and flipped through them.

"Is this the original?"

"The copy that Jiajing will copy, the original may have been taken underground by Emperor Jiajing. But this one is just as precious, I really didn't expect to hit it in Rome. ”

Zhang Nan is in a good mood, this is a bigger harvest than buying back a bunch of Qing Dynasty official kiln porcelain!

Xiang Weirong and Guan Xingquan, as Chinese people, went to school and served as soldiers, and no matter how lonely they were, they had heard of this masterpiece, although they didn't know much about it: just like Xiang Weirong asked a layman's word.

And Nicole and Jenny are confused: they only see that these books are very precious, otherwise they would not rush to the construction site to dig through the garbage heap.

"Alan, this thing is precious?"

Zhang Nan didn't speak here, but nodded, turned his head and continued to look at the group of construction workers who were in full swing.

"Jack, what did you say to the Italians?"

Originally, I thought that Jackson would do it himself, but I didn't think that even under the heavy reward, he would still be guarding the duties of a bodyguard.

"A scattered page of 20,000 lira, a whole book of 10,000 lire, that's all. ”

I calculated it in my heart, and by the way, I complained about the Italian currency with a huge face value, and found that this Jackson was really black!

Jackson was cool, and worried that in case an Italian could understand English and goofs, he didn't say a word.

Feeling a little thirsty, and the garbage on the construction site was full of dust, Zhang Nan turned around and sat in his bulletproof car.

Two girls also got in and wrapped a few books in clean plastic bags.

"Alan, this book must be precious, otherwise you wouldn't have done it. Isn't it missing a few books?"

Hearing Jenny's words, Zhang Nan smiled: "It will never be a complete set, this is the largest set of encyclopedias the world has ever seen!"

The largest in the world, two girls can understand, and there is absolutely no shortage of people with this prefix!

This is a super-large encyclopedia ordered by the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty in China, and it is an encyclopedic collection of documents in China.

There are 22,937 volumes in the book, and the table of contents alone accounts for 60 volumes, and if I remember correctly, there were 11,095 volumes, about 370 million words.

The whole book brings together seven or eight thousand kinds of ancient and modern Chinese books, but the original copy of this "Yongle Grand Canon" may have been brought into the imperial tomb by an emperor of the Ming Dynasty for burial, and most of the copies died in the war, and there are still more than 800 volumes at most and scattered all over the world, adding up to less than 400 volumes.

The British Encyclopedia Britannica said in the "Encyclopedia" entry that this "Yongle Canon" is the largest encyclopedia the world has ever seen. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the books he was wrapping in, and said, "These books seem to be some of the classics of an ancient religion in China, and I will have to take a good look at them when the time comes, it is very likely that they are classics that have been lost." ”

"Aren't there copies of religious texts?"

Nicole was very strange, it stands to reason that such religious books should be always available in various religious places, and it is impossible to have only one or two

"Do you know the Mongol-Yuan Empire? This ancient Chinese native religion called Taoism experienced a devastating blow during the Mongol and Yuan dynasties, and the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty burned almost all the books on Taoism.

By the Ming Dynasty, the Taoist classics that had been handed down to the world were less than one-third of those of the Song and Yuan dynasties in China. And this "Yongle Canon" records all the Taoist classics before the Ming Dynasty to the greatest extent, many of which are actually dictated by Taoist priests, that is, the religious people you are talking about, because the books have been burned by the Mongols!"

Of course, Nicole and Jenny knew about the Mongols, and they could know the strength of the Mongol army at that time from European and American textbooks!

The two girls were very smart, and they didn't ask why they were in Italy: either the British and French coalition forces or the Eight-Nation Coalition did it! Since they knew that Zhang Nan liked antiques, the two of them had deliberately learned about these common senses.

At this time, Jackson came over and knocked on the window: "Boss, find a few." ”

I got out of the car and picked it up, not the whole book, the content was messy, it seemed to be part of the medical skills, and the first page seemed to have a calming prescription for treating convulsions in children.

"Keep looking, there may still be. ”

As he spoke, he handed the three pages to the two people in the car: "Put them up." ”

Ten minutes later, the construction workers intermittently found more than a dozen pages, all of which should be the same volume, all of which were prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine.

Watching the garbage pile become less and less, Zhang Nan felt that the hope of finding more pages was getting smaller and smaller - there were all sundries such as old tables, chairs and benches, which should be the first garbage thrown out when tidying up the house.

Suddenly, I heard Guan Xingquan, who was the "supervisor leader", shouting "stop" twice in English in a row!

The Italian still understands the English word, and quickly stopped what he was doing.

Guan Xingquan walked up and picked up something, and Zhang Nan looked like a broken scroll of calligraphy and painting.

As soon as he took it and opened it, Zhang Nan immediately rolled up again, "Brother Guan, stare me to death!"

Guan Xingquan could understand what he meant when he saw Zhang Nan's eyes, and walked to Jackson's side and whispered a few words.

Zhang Nan screamed and walked into the car, and after sitting in, he opened a folding table in the middle, and then opened the scroll very carefully.

It is said to be a scroll, but it is actually very small, and the height of the framed painting in the middle is only 25 centimeters at most, and the length is less than 40 centimeters.

The color is extremely yellowish, and it depicts a woman in a long robe with wide sleeves kneeling on the ground, with an empty table in front of the woman, a ding and a bean on the side, and eight small characters written vertically in the upper right corner.

There is also a red seal on the screen, but it is impossible to distinguish it due to its age and poor preservation.

The lines of the whole painting are extremely simple, and the frame is empty, which looks a bit nondescript!

Nicole and the two can't appreciate this kind of Chinese-style figure painting, I really can't understand it!

He took out his magnifying glass and said to Jenny, "Lend me your mask." (To be continued.) )
