But as the saying goes, no matter how proud a person is, he has to hold his tail.

Hong Yanwu's eyebrows fluttered and the truth was bald, but it caused unnecessary trouble.

As soon as Mr. Shan heard that it was bought from the "Huaxia Arts and Crafts" store, he knew that it must have been lost from the Forbidden City by accident.

After all, he was a researcher in the Forbidden City, and his sense of professional responsibility immediately exploded, and Mr. Shan actually proposed to let Hong Yanwu be handed over to the state. He said that he was willing to talk to the acquisition department of the Forbidden City, and he could give him a higher price to take things away.

Ouch, get carried away, this is really afraid of something.

Hong Yanwu made a bitter face this time and told him to forgive.

"Don't, Mr. Shan, our brothers and sons finally managed to get this thing back, is it easy? There's nothing there, but there's no shortage of one or two. Let me tell you, this thing is not enough years, and according to national policy, it is not considered a cultural relic. I thank you, don't force me, I finally picked up a big leak, I still want to be an heirloom......"

Seeing that he reacted so much, he said it so pitifully. Mr. Shan and Wang Hanping couldn't help but laugh together.

But Mr. Shan still insisted, "You are indeed a national treasure." It's a rare pair, not broken, enough to enter the 'Treasure Hall'. That's why you should hand him over to the Forbidden City, so that more people can see it......"

Hong Yanwu has a neck. "Not necessarily, my Mr. Shan. Don't tell me, I know a little bit about the business. Not all really good things are on display for the public. Besides, if it can be exhibited, is it all true? For example, some calligraphy and paintings, some porcelain......"

These sentences hit the nail on the head, and Mr. Shan was stunned.

Hong Yanwu took advantage of the situation and hurriedly begged for good words.

"Mr. Shan, to be honest, if this thing can get into my hands, that's also fate. If you go to the 'Huaxia Arts and Crafts Store' and take a look, you will know that what good things we are not selling out at a clearly marked price? It's also the most expensive foreign devils who buy the most, because our thing is a must, and they don't have it there. In fact, if it weren't for my inconvenience for the peach tree, it is estimated that it would have been lost abroad. We bought it, and we made a contribution to the country. Actually, I know what you're worried about, aren't you afraid that I'll resell it or hide it. You can rest assured, first, I promise to keep it well, and I will never sell it no matter how much money I have. Second, I promise that I will definitely find an opportunity to exhibit to the public in the future. If someone wants to see it, I will open the door to show it every day, and I will never close it. If that's the case, maybe it's more in line with your original intention than handing it over to the Forbidden City......"

These words were in place, and Mr. Shan's face was really hesitant.

At a critical time, Wang Hanping came forward to help Hong Yanwu say a few words.

"Old Dan. No matter how rich the Forbidden City is, it can't take everything in, right? People buy it with their own money, and if they don't want to pay it to the public, forget it. You're no longer in office, so why the hell are you doing! Besides, the young man is right, sometimes these things can be better protected in private hands than in public hands...... Well, can you say no?"

In this way, Mr. Shan really nodded and said nothing.

Hong Yanwu breathed a sigh of relief, and thanked Wang Hanping for his righteous words, and also felt that Mr. Shan, an expert, was willing to listen to people's persuasion, and he was quite open, but it was not an ancient thing.

But he didn't expect that Wang Hanping said this for a special reason. It's not just about his two pots of peach trees. Because of the following, Wang Hanping carefully talked about a big thing to him.

Hong Yanwu waited until he finished listening to it, and he really understood the meaning of Wang Hanping's words just now, and was even more surprised by the true intention of the two old gentlemen to come to him.

It was not a coincidence that Mr. Shan and Wang Hanping bumped into Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan transporting things together. The two old gentlemen were actually waiting at the gate on purpose. The purpose is to talk to Hong Yanwu about a big matter.

What's the big deal?

For an amazing thing.

How amazing is this?

It is a matter of the safety of the entire capital.

This sounds like a bluff. But to put it on both ends, if this thing is really said, the young people of the younger generations may be able to take it seriously. But the older generation of the people in the capital is absolutely one hundred and one recognized.

So what is it exactly?

Well, it's not going to be sold. To put it bluntly, that thing is a huge piece of wood, golden silk nanmu, the sacred tree that guards the capital!

Since the Ming and Qing dynasties, there have been "five major towns" in the capital.

According to the Taoist theory of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, five town objects were set up in the east, west, south, north, and center of the capital to deter demons and ensure the peace of the capital.

The central part of the land is "Banzai Mountain", which is actually the "Jingshan" where the soil gathers for the town. The north belongs to the water, and the town is the copper cow by the Kunming Lake in the "Summer Palace". The south belongs to the fire, and the town is the swallow pier of "Yongding Gate". The west belongs to gold, and the town is the Yongle Huayan bell of "Juesheng Temple" (Great Bell Temple).

And the oriental wood, the town is the golden silk nanmu in the "Shenmu Factory" we want to talk about.

According to the record in the "Old News Examination under the Sun", "Shenmu Factory is two miles outside the Guangqu Gate, there is a big wood on the side, Gao Keyin is a person and a ride, and the relics of the palace in the early Ming Dynasty are also." Legend has it that there is a god in its wood. ”

There is also "the big wood accumulated by the Jingshi Shenmu Factory, all of which are Yongle things." Among them, the most giant is called 'camphor flat head', outside the two zhang circumference, lying more than four zhang, riding under it, high can be invisible. It has been drenched in wind and rain for a long time, and it has gradually decayed. ”

These words clearly record the real situation of the "Shenmu Factory" at that time.

The specific location of "Shenmu Factory" is actually located in the south of the second gate of Tonghui River outside the Guangqu Gate. It is about the "Shuangjing" area of today's East Third Ring Road.

The name of this place was changed several times, and later it was called "Huangmuchang" and "Huangmuchang" respectively, and finally it was called "Huangmuzhuang". Softgels, even the people who live there, few know their origins.

But this place is extremely well-known in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, when Zhu Di, the Yongle Emperor built the Forbidden City of the Forbidden City, he sent people to Sichuan, Lianghu, Liangguang and other places to purchase a large number of fine wood, which was transported and finally transported to the capital along the Grand Canal.

These big trees are rare things in the world, especially the "camphor flat head" this wood is the most huge, according to legend, it has divine power, can ward off evil and cure diseases, and then it is called "divine wood" by the folk.

When it came to the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong also went to the "Shenmu Factory" twice to see the "Shenmu", and had the imperial title "The Ballad of Shenmu" and made a tablet, which had the sentence of "Far Away from the South China Sea to Yandu, A and B Qingqi Town Hanyu". It is also officially confirmed the theory of "town things".

And because of the big wood "has gradually decayed", in order to make the "sacred wood" no longer eroded by wind and rain, the Qianlong Emperor issued an order to set up a square imperial tablet pavilion with red walls and yellow tiles on the west side of the "divine tree". At the same time, seven connected tiled and timber corridors were built, covered with "sacred trees" and surrounded by bluestone railings.

Later, after the liberation, in 1953, a musical instrument factory was built on the location of "Huangmu Factory No. 6". Shenmu and the imperial monument were enclosed in the compound of the musical instrument factory.

Although at this time, the surrounding area of the "Shenmu Factory" has become a vegetable garden, and the corridor house and the imperial tablet pavilion built for the Shenmu are also in disrepair, and the house pavilion is declining, and the wind and rain leak. But the "sacred wood" in the room still knocked.

During the "movement", the imperial monument was buried in the vegetable cellar of the canteen of the musical instrument factory.

The treatment of Shenmu, who was in charge of the east, was even worse. Suspecting that it occupied space, the factory leaders finally ordered the workers to sawn it into several sections and throw it in the courtyard to dry in tatters. and let it suffer from the wind and rain again.

Later, when Wang Hanping was invited to the musical instrument factory to do carpentry guidance, he undoubtedly discovered this situation, and after figuring out the whole story, he was very distressed, so he talked to Mr. Shan, and wanted him to come forward to let the Forbidden City take away the "Shenmu" and place it properly.

But after the people in the Forbidden City saw it, they said that it was a few piles of rotten wood, and there was no cultural relics of value, so they completely let it go. In this way, the wood can only sit like that.

It wasn't until the first few days that the new leader of the musical instrument factory suddenly approached the "Red Star Furniture Factory" again, saying that he wanted to exchange the wood in their yard for thirty writing desks with the furniture factory. Seek benefits for the cadres in the factory who have been rehabilitated and returned to office.

Of course, Wang Hanping wanted to agree, but the leader of the "Red Star Furniture Factory" refused directly because he felt that the musical instrument factory didn't need to stammer, and he was not allowed to speak at all.

The leaders of the furniture factory said that they were not short of wood, let alone bad wood that had been soaked in the wind and rain. If you want a desk, you have to buy it with money and industrial vouchers. For the sake of the fact that they are all public units, they can be appropriately discounted, but they can be interviewed in a bartering interview.

This attitude immediately angered the leaders of the musical instrument factory. When he left, he said, "Don't be bullish in your furniture factory, our musical instrument factory also has carpenters." I also told you, we'll make our own 'bad wood' and paint the piano, and make sure it's more beautiful than you......"

Of course, this is not important in the ears of the leaders of the furniture factory. But Wang Hanping was completely distracted when he heard it.

That's the remnants of Ming Yongle's big hall. Born nanmu, specially used for the palace building. During the Qing Dynasty, it was already difficult to find high-grade golden silk nanmu, and they were not willing to embezzle.

Well, in the end, I actually made a writing desk, and I also painted piano paint! How could such a good thing end up like this?

Don't say that Master Lu Banzu must know that all those who are angry can jump out of the grave. In the future, this matter will also make future generations poke the backbone.

Under the six gods without a master, Wang Hanping hurriedly asked Mr. Shan to ask for ideas.

Mr. Shan was also anxious enough when he heard it, and the two of them discussed it and discussed, and finally came up with a solution that was not a solution.

Simply, use the money from Hong Yanwu's house repair to buy wood from the musical instrument factory.

Of course, this is definitely not to embezzle the money for building a house in private.

What Mr. Shan meant was that the wooden attic in the courtyard of the flower hall had to be rebuilt anyway. His original plan was to buy fir wood, elm wood, and camphor for 2,000 yuan to build this attic.

Now, if you can take down the golden silk nanmu and use it to build this building, it will actually be better. Although the attic regulation is a little smaller, it will not be like making a desk to spoil such materials, and Hong Yanwu has taken a big advantage.

It's just that there are two points in between. First, you have to say hello to Hong Yanwu on this matter, and you can't do it if people don't agree. Second, according to the conditions of the 30 writing desks in the musical instrument factory, the 2,000 yuan of wood is not enough, and Hong Yanwu must be persuaded to add some more money, and in addition, he must get some industrial vouchers.

In this way, after they discussed, they waited for Hong Yanwu at the gate of Hong's house to go home. Who knew that he was waiting for him to get something home.

But this also proves Hong Yanwu's vision and financial resources. So after saying this, Wang Hanping and Mr. Shan both laughed.

They just feel that this kind of good thing kills two birds with one stone, and they are probably nine out of ten, and Hong Yanwu will definitely not object.

But it backfired. After hearing this, Hong Yanwu pondered for a while, and then took a deep breath, looked embarrassed, and shook his head.
