Chapter 1258: First Arrival in Chang'an
Diao Qinsan didn't speak, Tang Yi took the opportunity to light a cigarette, and simply said more about Torii Ryuzo, anyway, it was after tea and dinner, and when they were talking about idle things, everyone was more happy. Although Tang Yi doesn't know much about www.biquge.info pen, he definitely knows more than Diao Qinsan and Wen Jia.
In 1937, the Japanese devils occupied Beiping.
The invaders are usually high-flying, but they are very polite to one university, which was Yenching University back then. Of course, after some evolution and splitting, there is no longer the university with the original name. On the current campus of Peking University, many old buildings were originally used by Yenching University.
At that time, Yenching University was one of the universities jointly founded by the churches of the United States and the United Kingdom, and it was very famous, and it could be said to be a world-class university at that time, and it cooperated with Harvard University to establish the Harvard-Yenching Institute.
That's why the Japanese devils were very polite, because they didn't want to offend the Americans at that time. After the 77 Incident, many universities in North China moved to the southwest, but Yenching University did not. The principal at that time was Situ Leiden, the person in "Farewell, Situ Leiden".
Stuart's attitude towards the Japanese was to stay away. However, the Japanese people did not want to come hard, but also wanted to come soft, so they used a roundabout strategy and proposed to Situ Leiden that they wanted Japanese students to come to Yenching University. Situ Leiden is also a thief, and he didn't refuse on the surface, but in the end he pushed him out on the grounds that the students of the Japanese Kingdom were not doing well.
Japanese students were not allowed to come to school, but Yenching University hired a Japanese professor.
He is Torii Ryuzo.
At this time, Torii Ryuzo was no longer in his thirties when he was studying in eastern Mombasa, but was already an old man of nearly seventy years old.
He did not allow Japanese students to enroll, but hired a Japanese professor to come in. What does this mean? This illustrates at least two things.
First, his academic achievements are high enough, so high that whether it is the United States, the Japanese Kingdom, or China, he is highly regarded and is an out-and-out top scholar.
Second, it is impossible for him to act as a spy for the Japanese state, and entering Yenching University will not bring any trouble.
Actually, that's what he is, and the academic achievements are there. Moreover, as I said before, he openly opposed the invasion of China by the Japanese state.
In this way, Torii Ryuzo stayed at Yenching University all the time. It was not until the end of 1941 that a major event occurred - the Japanese army attacked Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, USA.
After this incident, the Japanese army in Yenching will naturally not be so polite to Yenching University. On the same night that the United States declared war on the Japanese state, the Japanese state rounded up more than a dozen professors and students at Yenching University. The next day, they were loaded into a truck and taken away.
At this time, a surprising scene appeared. When the truck passed by the gate of Yenching University, Torii Ryuzo put on a kimono and bowed to the professors and students on the truck!
In 1945, the Japanese surrendered. On the night of the surrender of the Japanese state, many Japanese families in Beiping turned off their lights, and the next day, the streets were full of weeping and kneeling Japanese soldiers and civilians.
Now that the Japanese kingdom surrendered, Yenching University was reopened, and many banks came to the door to help with loans. Previously, the provost of Yenching University, Hong Ye, had a good relationship with Torii Ryuzo, and after the resumption of the school, he was entrusted with the management of money, and the first cheque written was for Torii Ryuzo.
Hongye arrived at Torii Ryuzo's house and found him barefoot fetching water in the patio.
It was not until 1951 that Torii Ryuzo left China, and in 1953 he died of illness in Wakoku.
From the relationship between Yenching University and Torii Ryuzo, it is not difficult to see that Torii Ryuzo is a true scholar. It is really impossible to judge whether the fourteen pieces of jade he obtained will be taken away from Huaxia, because after all, they were "stolen" by this unknown person. However, it is true that he was a pioneer in the study of the culture of Red Mountain.
"This guy is really interesting." Diao Qinsan said after hearing this, and then he looked at Tang Yi again, "I have been active in Mengbian for a long time, and I have seen very few Hongshan cultural jades, but I didn't expect to see so much at once this time." ”
"In the future, if you follow him, there will be good things to see. When the museums in Yanjing and Shanzhou open, you just wait for the eyes to open! Wen Jia answered.
"That's great." Diao Qinsan handed Tang Yi a cigarette and lit one himself, "Don't worry, Mr. Tang, I will definitely do a good job in Chang'an's branch, this branch started later than other branches, I have to work harder!" ”
"The antique business is in a hurry. However, you are familiar with the northwest area, and you are brothers together, so there is no problem. Tang Yi said, "The two of us went with you this time, mainly to help." ”
Diao Qinsan took a puff of his cigarette and nodded earnestly.
At this time, Diao Qinyi returned.
It turned out that when it got dark, he came out, and the old crooked went to play cards, and he followed.
"I helped him win a few hands, enough for him to play for a while. When it's almost over, I'll help a few more guys, and he won't be able to lose now. It was the last time our brother helped him! Diao Qin sat down and said.
"Boss, so you did this!" Diao Qin smiled, "If you win today, you may be able to export it tomorrow." ”
"I said, this is the last time to help him, it is impossible to help him for a lifetime, if he continues to sink in this, then there is no way." Diao Qin shook his head and said.
Early the next morning, Lao Crooked came back happily, and Tang Yi, Wen Jia and Diao Qinsan had already helped him make breakfast. It's simple, I stewed a pot of mutton last night, and only fished out and ate a part. Continue to boil the soup, and then make the steamed buns hot and ready-made mutton.
After breakfast, they said goodbye to the old man. When it was over, Diao Qinsan also whispered a few words to Lao Wei, stuffed a lot of money, and asked him to buy Li Laohan a sheep every other month. At the same time, he was advised not to play anymore.
This village is a three-mile walk to the side of the main road, and there are small buses soliciting customers to the county seat, so they just walk.
When they arrived at the county seat, because they were carrying valuables, they did not take the train or the car, but chartered a taxi and went straight to Chang'an.
When they arrived in Chang'an that afternoon, they stayed in a hotel first. Early the next morning, Diao Qinsan went out, came back near noon, took them to a closed community, went to a building on the innermost side, went to the third floor of the three units, opened the door, it was a two-bedroom and two-hall house, which was well decorated, and all kinds of furniture and electrical appliances were readily available.
"My boss and I will live here from now on. Come, first recognize the door. Diao Qin said, "Let's put things here first, safe." ”
Tang Yi thought about it, and didn't ask how the house came about, Diao Qinsan's doorway in Chang'an was much more familiar than him and Wen Jia, and it was very simple to get a house.
