Tang Yi looked at the boss, "Boss Yu, are the things in our store to be sold, except for this small painted pottery jar?" ”

Sima Liu also just stood up, and when he heard it, he thought to himself that Tang Yi had seen something again?

"You laughed, in addition to the small pots of painted pottery, there are many that cannot be sold, for example, the table of eight immortals in front of us is not sold!" The boss laughed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this Boss Yu to be so dense when he joked about it. The contents of the bottom compartment of the cabinet he saw were a set of ancient book engravings, more than half a foot high, and a cover on the outside, with a leather sheath inserted.

Judging from this envelope, it looks like an old thing from the Ming Dynasty.

"Is that set of books for sale?" Tang Yi simply pointed and said. Actually, he didn't look closely, and he didn't know if it was valuable, but since he found something old, he asked.

"Oh, that's what you say!" The boss walked over, bent down and took it out, "This is what I received when I received the calligraphy and paintings, if you are interested, look at it." ”

This set of books was placed on the table, and Tang Yi looked at it, but his expression sank.

This is a late Ming Dynasty engraved envelope. However, first, this is a set of workshop engravings, which are not as valuable as official engravings.

This Ming Dynasty carved books, compared with the previous dynasties greatly increased, the place of engraved books, can be said to be everywhere, can be regarded as the heyday of the ancient Chinese publishing industry. In this, there are official carvings and workshop carvings. It is easy to understand that the quality of official engraving must be the highest, among which the internal government book, the factory book, and the Guozi supervision book are the most. There are other central and local institutions.

As for the carving, it is naturally a private publishing institution, which is widely distributed, and there are relatively many engraved copies that have been handed down, and the quality is also uneven. Of course, the value is also low.

Second, on this envelope, it is written "Think Tank".

The book "Think Tank", written by Feng Menglong of the Ming Dynasty, is mainly small stories, from the pre-Qin to the Ming Dynasty, and more than 1,000 are collected. It is a collection of the ancients' use of stratagem to defeat the enemy and solve problems.

This set of books is very beautiful, full of stories, and at the same time can give people a lot of inspiration. But because of this, this set of books is very popular, and there are many of them in the Ming engraving book alone, and the amount is very large.

It is not only a carving, but also a set of books with a large circulation, and its value is naturally not high. Of course, after all, it is a late Ming Dynasty thing, and it is also a good collection.

Tang Yi was slightly disappointed, Sima Liu looked at it, and he was not very interested. However, since he asked to see it, Tang Yi also opened the envelope.

As a result, this opening is even more wrong. Flipping it down one by one, Tang Yi found out that this is not a set of "Think Tank"!

In addition to the two volumes of think tanks, there are also some engraved copies of the Qing Dynasty, all of which are engraved in the workshop, and the quality is not high, like a hodgepodge. Dare to love this boss just used such an envelope to pack up these scattered engraved books. In this way, it is even more boring.

Looking at Tang Yi's expression, Boss Yu smiled, "The things are more miscellaneous, I'll put them together, it's not worth much, if you take them together, I'll give you a cheaper." ”

At this time, Tang Yi had already turned to the last book, and was about to refuse politely, but found that this last book was actually the oldest book in it, older than this envelope! This envelope is about the Ming Dynasty during the Apocalypse, and this book is from the Jiajing period, nearly a hundred years earlier!

And it's also official!

However, the book is in dire condition and has no cover. But since Tang Yi saw that he was getting old, he must take a closer look. On a closer look at the page, this book turned out to be part of the "Preparation of Sea Charts"!

Speaking of "Preparing for the Sea Atlas", I have to mention Hu Zongxian again. This set of books is a set of coastal defense military atlases compiled by Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang Province during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, when he was the governor of Zhejiang Province and fought against the Japanese invaders.

Hu Zongxian is the editor-in-chief of this set of books, and Qi Jiguang also contributed. And the person who really presides over and draws, that is, the person who plays the most critical role, is called Zheng Ruozeng.

Zheng Ruozeng is a relatively unfamiliar person to people who are not familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty. He has a title, called "Cloth Cloth Military Scholar". Originally, he was born in a medical family, and it is said that the gynecology of the Zheng family is the most famous, and now there are descendants of the Zheng family in southern Jiangsu. However, Zheng Ruozeng's mind is not mainly on medicine, and his ambition is to directly serve the country.

At the beginning, he took the road of learning Confucianism, took the Xiucai exam, and was later recommended to enter the Guozijian. But in the end, he didn't go up, returned to his hometown, and became a cloth cloth.

This person's knowledge is very complex, in addition to the Confucian classics, he is also very familiar with military classics. After returning to his hometown, he became interested in astronomy and geography, mountains, rivers and seas.

At this time, it was the Jiajing Dynasty, and the devils of the Japanese State frequently attacked and harassed the southeast coast, and after Hu Zongxian arrived, he recruited talents. As for Zheng Ruozeng, some coastal maps had already been drawn at this time, and some of them were published in the state capital at that time. Hu Zongxian knew this person and recruited him as a staff member. It can also be seen from this that why did Hu Zongxian have achievements in resisting the Japanese? There are so many talents!

Zheng Ruo once accompanied Hu Zongxian during the anti-Japanese period, and wrote many military works and atlases. One of the most famous is the "Chart of the Sea". There are more than a dozen volumes of the "Compilation of Maps of the Sea", and the maps alone are divided into several categories, among which the "Coastal Mountains and Sand Maps" is composed of 72 small maps, which is the earliest and most complete military topographic map of coastal defense known at present.

It can be said that from Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was no one-step military atlas that surpassed the "Compilation of Charts for the Sea".

However, it is a pity that the fragment that Tang Yi saw did not contain the most famous "Coastal Mountain Sand Map".

But Tang Yi flipped through it and decided to buy it. Because this fragment contains two other maps: the Wa Kingdom Chart and the Wa Kingdom Entry Chart.

Tang Yi wanted to buy this book alone, but he was afraid that there would be any twists and turns after Boss Yu took a closer look, so he reloaded the book, "Boss Yu, although these books are relatively ordinary, they are old things, you can make a price, it is rare to have an envelope, the price should be appropriate, I will take it away." ”

"Oops, I didn't expect you to really buy it, and it's so open!" What Boss Yu meant by this was naturally that Tang Yi did not pick and choose. Of course he is willing to go out together, pick the good ones, and leave the bad ones, not to mention the low price, the key is that it is not easy to sell, "Then I won't lie, 10,000 yuan to pack, do you think it's okay?" ”

The books in this, carved in the Ming Dynasty, the market price can be two or three thousand one, the Qing Dynasty carved book has to look at the quality, but a thousand dozen foundations are certain, the books in it, a total of more than a dozen, 10,000 yuan is not high. However, this is only in terms of market price, and for the boss, it is actually a partner for collecting calligraphy and painting.

"Let's take a bite, eight thousand eight, it's auspicious." Tang Yidao.
