Of course, the exhibits in the exhibition hall can't be sold, and the cultural relics that have been rated can't be sold, which is no problem!

But there is a problem that will jump out for you in "no problem", and only Zhang Nan knows what the problem is: Nowadays, there are a large number of old objects that are not taken seriously and have no level at all in the warehouses of many cultural preservation units. The pen %fun %www.biquge.info is just those things that are not taken seriously, and if they are still in the warehouse and not disposed of after more than ten or twenty years, they will basically be turned out for rating.

The first level is more difficult, and there are many second and third levels, and this will either accumulate dust or be sent to the cultural relics store for sale, or even be treated as useless scrap copper and rotten iron, littered everywhere!

Then why was it rated later?

It's been disposed of, there are fewer things, and there is no collection in the scrap station.

……

The cultural department, in the 80s, it looked like the Qingshui Yamen, and there was no special car for even a deputy department-level cadre to come out: the agricultural curator and his students came by bicycle.

The two bicycles were stuffed into the trunk of the Lincoln, revealing the two bikes domineeringly, and pulling them back to the exhibition hall compound.

The elongated car has large tires, large load capacity, and more interior space, so it is no problem to stuff 7 people.

Don't be in a hurry to go to the warehouse first, because as soon as you enter the compound, you get off the car, and Zhang Nan sees a bunch of interesting things in the corner in the distance!

"Alas, even in Yongcheng, it is really impossible to find so many other places.

In some places, if you find one or two pieces, you will be a treasure, and now it is the life of scrap copper and rotten iron!"

Looking at that pile of things, it will be Zhang Nan's turn to sigh, plus a little memory: In his previous life, he came here once around 87 years, and there would be a child of a relative of the leader of the exhibition hall playing in the exhibition hall.

It wasn't a festival that day, no one came to visit at the level, and there were only three people in one of the boss's exhibition halls, plus Zhang Nan.

Zhang Nan heard the man say to a child who was in his teens and should not have gone to junior high school: "Blood bat, don't take the things in the exhibition hall, you have to put them back after playing, they have all been registered!"

"Oh, I know my uncle. ”

The child honestly put a thick copper stick that seemed to be quite heavy back on the shelf: Zhang Nan was on the side, and it looked like a large short-barreled musket, estimated to be at least one or twenty catties, and it was almost time to catch up with the small cannon.

The things were put back, and now the children didn't like things to play: he didn't want to take out the bottles and cans in the glass cabinets, first, it was boring, and if it was broken, he would probably be scolded by his uncle.

The adults were busy, studying a large cabinet that had just entered the showroom, and said to the children again: "If you like muskets and cannons, then go to the courtyard below, there is a big pile on the north corner, you go to find it yourself, don't smash your feet." ”

The child was very happy when he heard this, "Uncle, can I take one of the little ones back to play?"

The kid obviously knew what that pile was.

"Whatever, but don't look for too big one, or your sister will scold you to death! ”

The child thief smiled: "Don't worry, I'll find one that can be stuffed into my school bag, and I'll carry it myself and won't let my sister know." ”

So saying, the boy ran away.

After Zhang Nan finished reading the exhibition hall, when he came out, he saw that the student named Blood Bat had found four or five small cannons from the mountain-like pile of "scrap copper and rotten iron", and lined them up on the concrete floor, probably as if he was studying which one was more pleasing to the eye, the right weight, and could be stuffed into his schoolbag.

At this time, a passing staff saw the child's tangled appearance and said with a smile: "The one on the left is relatively early, 500 years ago in the Ming Dynasty's bamboo cannon." ”

"It's ugly!"

"The one in the middle, the small cannon of the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong will do it. ”

The child held back the man's look: "I can't fit in my schoolbag, it's too long and heavy." ”

Listening to the big and small conversations, this is the attitude of these antique artillery: who cares about that pile of scrap metal!

Basically, they are all sent from the scrap yard, and they are not even qualified to occupy the warehouse: since they entered this courtyard, these large and small artillery pieces of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty have been piled up together and rusted!

Yongcheng, very early is the "Maritime Silk Road" of the eastern departure port, Ming Dynasty Zhu Yuanzhang Wu first year (AD 1367) began, the Ming Dynasty coastal areas to implement a sea ban, only Mingzhou (Yongcheng) open to the outside world.

Here, there is no shortage of all kinds of cannons of all kinds and sizes of different dynasties!

There are so many that it is not uncommon in scrap yards and that the non-boutique products in the cultural management department are too lazy to collect them - of course, this is before the nineties.

There's no way, there's really no place to pile up these broken things, the fine products can only accumulate dust in the warehouse, and the "extremely high-quality" in the exhibition hall has been laughed at by the visitors: "The cannon opens the conference, and you can change something new in the exhibition hall." ".

……

Looking at the pile of scrap copper and rotten iron, thinking of the tangled elementary school student, Zhang Nan had an unpredictable smile on his face.

"Curator Nong, can I ask for two of those cannons piled up in front of me?"

Nong Bosheng was a little stunned all of a sudden, he never thought that as soon as Zhang Nan arrived, he would first order scrap copper and rotten iron.

However, Director Nong was still very principled: "This thing doesn't make much sense, but if you want it, then so." ”

As he spoke, he paused and seemed to organize his language: "I also know that some cultural relics stores dare to sell anything in order to earn foreign exchange, and the hurdle in the Qianlong year is a joke."

But I'm a museum, even if it's all scrap copper and rotten iron, I can't give you a certificate before the Jiaqing Year with the year name, and I can't ship it out of the country, and the rest is whatever. ”

The old pedant is principled, and he will not do anything that violates the regulations of the state.

As for the certificate, it is, of course, the certificate of sale of the cultural relics store, with which it can pass the customs: of course, the cultural relics store is also under the dual leadership of the Cultural Affairs Bureau.

Zhang Nan was amused when he heard it: "I'm going to move this to the United States? Don't tease the agricultural curator, just see if there is a suitable one, I'll get two larger ones and put them in the courtyard of Yan County to avoid evil spirits." ”

"I just thought about the rules and forgot about you. Director Nong also smiled, this Zhang Nan was destined to move to China, "In this way, if you want to avoid evil spirits, then you have to find Dao Guang years ago, what kind of red-clothed cannon after the Opium War does not work, it is just an ornament." ”

A few people walked and talked, just a few dozen meters away, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of the "scrap copper and rotten iron pile" piled up like a hill.

There is something on his own land, and the curator has an account in his heart, which will point to a few very distinctive iron cannons of all sizes: "The bamboo cannon in the early and middle Ming Dynasty is estimated to be good to ward off evil spirits, and it is estimated to be more effective than that of the Qing Dynasty.

In addition to the small model, we should have a few second general bamboo cannons, with a length of more than 80 centimeters, about one hundred and fifty or sixty pounds, and the town house is just right. ”

"Stick cannon" is a firearm of the Ming Dynasty, named because the cannon body has many hoops and the shape resembles a bamboo joint.

As for what the director of the agricultural curator said about the "two general cannons", this is just a relatively general name in the Ming Dynasty: in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the names of these various cannons are as many as cow hairs, anyway, one is more powerful than the other, and one is invincible!

Like the Qing Dynasty, what "God bless the general", "Shenwei general", "Shengong general", "Wucheng Yonggu general"...

However, in the late Qing Dynasty, no matter how powerful the name of this cannon was, it was useless: during the First Opium War in 1840, the cannon of Humen Fortress weighed 8,000 catties, but the range was not as good as that of the British naval guns!

After the Second Opium War, the Jiangyin fortress was actually equipped with 10,000 catties of iron cannons "General Yaowei" - these cannons seemed to be mighty, but the range was still inferior to the various types of Armstrong guns on the British ships.

Therefore, it is necessary to "avoid evil", and you don't want it after the Jiaqing year.

Zhang Nan shook his head and said: "The bamboo cannon looks too ugly, is there a Hongyi cannon in the Ming Dynasty?"

Nong Bosheng thought about it, walked a few steps to the "scrap iron pile", pointed to an iron cannon with two cannon lugs in the corner, and said: "This was dug up when the old river channel of Yaojiang was dredging two years ago, and the engineering team sent it directly, and the imitation Hongyi cannon was cast in the 47th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty." It is 160 centimeters long, I remember the inner diameter is 8 centimeters, and it weighs less than 300 kilograms.

But there is only one, because there are already a few cannons in the exhibition hall of the exhibition hall, and this one will be lost, if you can give it to you, but you have to calculate the price of cultural relics. ”

The agricultural curator has principles, if it is someone else, how can he ask for money, it is definitely a free gift - the Warring States Bamboo Slip presented by Zhang Nan will already be the treasure of the exhibition hall!

Ming Dynasty's, good!

As for having only one, it's not a problem, and I quickly found a door that can be "paired": a Hongyi cannon in Kangxi's 52nd year, the length and appearance are about the same as the one in Wanli Nian, and it also weighs 600 pounds.

Zhang Nan is not greedy, it is enough to have these two cannons: although it is not a big problem to get away half of the cannons here, but then he will really become a scrap copper and rotten iron!

Why buy it back?

It's really a way to use it to ward off evil, Kangxi uses it with Wanli, well, it seems a little awkward, but it's going to be it.

The price of cultural relics is purchased, and the two iron cannons do not need to be weighed, adding up to less than 1,200 catties, and it is only 2,000 US dollars. In fact, Director Nong and the two administrators who heard that the curator was back and rushed over discussed at the beginning, as long as 2,000 foreign exchange coupons, Zhang Nan directly said that he could not let the exhibition hall suffer a loss and pay US dollars.

That's 3 times more all at once!

The chronology on those bamboo cannons is basically so rotten that they can't be seen, and they can be sold as scrap iron, these two Hongyi cannons are clear and out-and-out cultural relics, Zhang Nan can't let the agricultural curator be gossiped about ten years later.

It's not that you're being blindly generous: you still have to deal with it, and you're still a relative.

The cannon doesn't have to be moved now, and when the truck transferred from Tianyan County arrives tomorrow, it is estimated that the exhibition hall will borrow a forklift, which is too heavy!

"Director Nong, don't be in a hurry to go to the warehouse and the exhibition hall to see, I haven't been here for many years, and I was still in junior high school last time I came. ”

When Nong Bosheng heard this, he said, "Let's talk about it first, the things there can only be played with at most, but they can't be given to you." ”

"Haha, Director Nong, don't worry, I'll take a look. (To be continued.) )
