Chen Guan returned to Wulongyu this time and determined the idea of building a temple on Luoyan Peak and building a statue of the Buddha, so as to drive the development of Wulongyu tourist attraction into a first-class scenic spot in China. This idea has become the main line of the later development of Wulongyu Tourist Attraction, and has opened a new door for Wulongyu Tourist Attraction to develop into a leading enterprise in the tourism industry in the future.

Originally, Chen Guan was going to rush back to Tonghua Town immediately, Cui Ying was still waiting for him to take back the engraving and printing of "Zizhi Tongjian" to see if it was suitable as a souvenir for the commissioning ceremony of Dongtonghua Concentrator, but Xu Hark and Li Fulai pestered Chen Guan not to let him go, and had to pull him to check the progress of the second phase of the Wulongyu Scenic Area one by one, Chen Guan had no choice but to call Cui Ying to explain the situation, and stopped in Wulongyu for two more days, until New Year's Day, January 3, he returned to Tonghua Town with his father Chen Xuezhi.

The engraving printing "Zizhi Tongjian" has a large font and many booklets, and each book is packed into a wooden box the size of a small box.

Chen Guan drove a police Poussin, not a truck, and filled the trunk and back seat, and he couldn't pull 50 sets, only 36 sets.

When leaving Wulongyu, Chen Guan and Xu Wenzhi made it very clear that Chen Guan himself was the president of the Chen Family Bookstore, and Xu Wenzhi was the general manager, specifically responsible for the operation of the bookstore. What plates to engrave, what books to print, and how much to print are determined by Chen Guan; Xu Wenzhi is responsible for what kind of paper to use, what ink to use, what people to recruit, and what specific production organization and management are in charge of. According to the cost calculation of the book price, after printing, in addition to the sale of Wulongyu as a characteristic tourism and cultural products, all the books transferred by Chen Guan will be paid according to the price. In the short term, all expenses of the bookstore, including staff salaries, will be paid by Chen Guan and credited to the investment of the Chen family bookstore. After the profit is realized, the Chen Family Bookstore will account independently and be responsible for its own profits and losses.

As for the salaries of Xu Wenzhi's apprentices, Chen Guan had already agreed with them. Xu Wenzhi's monthly salary is 1,000 yuan, which is the same as Jiao Tiande, the director of the Yangshan Gold Mine of Jinyangshan Co., Ltd., Xu Cunren, the director of the Dongtonghua Concentrator Plant, and Lin Fan, the general manager of Wulongyu Tourism Development Co., Ltd., and the wages of his five apprentices are much lower, 260 yuan per month each, which is equivalent to the salary of ordinary township cadres.

Including the engraving of "Zizhi Tongjian" brought by Xu Wenzhi, Chen Guan directly gave 30,000 yuan, asked Xu Wenzhi to give him a receipt, and bought it completely as the treasure of the Chen Family Bookstore.

Xu Wenzhi's master and apprentice are all laid-off and unemployed printing factory workers, Chen Guan was naturally overjoyed and moved by such a high salary, and said that the Chen family was too kind!

The engraving of "Zizhi Tongjian", Xu Wenzhi never imagined that Chen Guan could pay a price of 30,000 yuan, which is simply a sky-high price!

At this time, the commercial housing of the high-end real estate project of Shuiquan City, Dadi Garden, is only 560 yuan per square meter, and the general commercial housing price is only more than 400 yuan per square meter, less than 500 yuan, which is still the price of the big city Shuiquan City!

The commercial houses in Mingshui City are much cheaper, more than 300 yuan or 400 yuan per square meter. A set of carved editions of "Zizhi Tongjian" that I picked up cost 30,000 yuan, which is equivalent to buying a house of more than 80 square meters in Mingshui City!

Xu Wenzhi, who was overjoyed, immediately asked for leave to go back to Mingshui City after receiving the 30,000 yuan passbook from Chen Guan, saying that it was two bungalows in the family courtyard of the printing factory where his family of five lived. After his son got married, he lived in the inner room, and his old couple and his daughter moved to live outside, and they could hear a fart inside and out, and the family was so aggrieved that they were about to go crazy! Now that I have money in my hand, I won't say anything, I will go back and buy a suite first, so that my son and his family can move in, and they don't have to be so aggrieved anymore!

Chen Guan and Xu Wenzhi could not have imagined that only 10 years later, this set of "Zizhi Tongjian" engraving has doubled in value, and the expert appraisal is worth 5 million yuan. After another 5 years, a well-known domestic auction company found the Chen Family Bookstore, saying that if this set of "Zizhi Tongjian" engraving was taken to auction, the starting price would be 100 million!

Of course, the Chen Family Bookstore will not auction this set of "Zizhi Tongjian" engravings of the treasure of the town, just like Jinyangshan Mining Co., Ltd. will not sell the three pieces of doghead gold, and Wulongyu Tourism Development Co., Ltd. will not sell the old piano in the living room of Bai Xuerong, the eldest lady of the Bai family, and the painting of Xu Wenchang, an old man in Qingteng. Of course, Xu Wenchang's painting hanging in the living room of the eldest lady of the Bai family in the fifth courtyard of the Bai family compound was re-copied by Chen Guan, and the real work was in Chen Guan's hands, and others didn't know the Tao at all.

When he returned to Wulongyu this time, the only fly in the ointment was that Chen Guan didn't even have the opportunity to be alone with Bai Aiyue and Bai Aixiao. Tsui Hark and Li Fulai didn't know the secrets of Chen Guan and the Bai family sisters, so they pulled Chen Guan to watch the progress of the project during the day, and discussed some details together at night, so that Chen Guan had no free time at all. In addition, because of the last time Bai Aiguo's brothers tried to catch the adulterer, Chen Guan had five Xu Wenzhi's masters and apprentices living in his house, so wild and bold Bai Aiyue didn't dare to secretly come to Chen Guan's house to find him, so he could only hold back tears in his eyes when he sent Chen Guan away, and he didn't dare to let it out.

After Chen Guan returned to Tonghua Town, he drove directly to the town government compound.

Cui Ying waited for Chen Guan to send books and so on, and when she saw Chen Guan, she didn't have a good face, saying that he didn't understand the priorities of things. Is the commissioning ceremony of Dongtonghua concentrator important, or is the construction project in Wulongyu Scenic Area important? Why can't you tell the difference between big and small heads? When is this coming, the book can't be delivered, the gift can't be fixed, what should I do during the ceremony? You can't let the VIPs go empty-handed, right?

Chen Guan could understand Cui Ying's urgent mood, but he was prepared, and directly took out a set of engraving and printing "Zizhi Tongjian" from the car, put it on Cui Ying's desk, and asked her to take a look.

Cui Ying saw that what Chen Guan had brought was a rectangular wooden box made of gold-wire catalpa wood, like the shape of a small leather box. The wooden box has been painted with tung oil and stupid lacquer, and the unique yellow and white fine and beautiful patterns of the golden silk catalpa wood are clearly visible, and the four seal characters of "Zizhi Tongjian" are carved with black ink and stupid lacquer.

Cui Ying liked it at once, a pair of jade hands rubbed on the exquisite wooden box, and asked Chen Guan happily: "This is the engraving and engraving of the "Zizhi Tongjian" you said?" ”

After all, Cui Ying has a poor starting foundation and a limited cultural level, so she doesn't know the four words "Zizhi Tongjian" in the seal style.

Chen nodded and asked softly, "Are you satisfied with this outer box?" ”

Cui Ying also nodded, and said: "Simple, generous and extravagant, especially these words, the carving is good, so that people can know that the Tao is worth a lot at a glance!" ”

Chen Guan said that this wooden box is made of golden catalpa wood, which is a specialty of Wulong Mountain, and is painted with tung oil and stupid lacquer, which is anti-corrosion and has a long storage time. The four seal characters of "Zizhi Tongjian" on the above are printed with the four characters of "Zizhi Tongjian" on the book cover of the original engraving plate, and then carved out with a carving knife, colored with black ink, and blended with stupid paint.

Speaking of which, for fear that Cui Ying would know that there was little Taoism, Chen Guan added: "Our golden silk catalpa wood, the pattern is very similar to the golden silk nanmu, it is said that in the old society, there were traitors who used golden silk catalpa wood furniture to pretend to be golden silk nanmu furniture and sell it for a large price." Up to now, the Buddhist shrines in the temples of the National University of Japan are all made of goldenrod wood from our Wulong Mountain area! ”

What Chen Guan didn't expect was that as soon as his voice fell, Cui Ying said casually, "The man of the Chen family, the daughter of the Bai family, the golden silk catalpa wood, the concubine bamboo." Is this Chen family man, indeed a man, to have good looks, to learn and learn, to be bold and courageous, to take responsibility, indeed the daughter's family thinks! As for the girl of the Bai family, she is really good-looking, not ordinarily good! ”

Chen Guan hurriedly said: "Secretary Cui, you open it and read the book, can you see it?" ”

Cui Ying didn't answer Chen Guan's words, and suddenly said: "You stay in Wulongyu for a few days, is it that the two sisters of the Bai family are pestering you and not letting you go?" ”

Chen Guan couldn't cry or laugh, and whispered: "Let's get down to business, why do we get involved with others?" Where and where is this? ”

Cui Ying's face was cold, and she said hatefully: "Don't think that I don't know the way, on the day the Bai family compound opened, the clothes worn by the two sisters of the Bai family were bought by you!" So high-end, fashionable, well-fitting clothes, all Wulongyu, except for you, who has that vision? Who would be so generous? ”

It is still women who know women best, and the two Bai Aiguo brothers are looking for evidence to sue Chen Guan, but they can't find evidence. Cui Ying only went to Wulongyu once, and at a glance, she could see that the clothes worn by Bai Aiyue and Bai Aixiao were bought by Chen Guan, and their eyes were too poisonous!

Chen Guan didn't want to explain this, so he quickly opened a box, took out the first book from it, handed it to Cui Ying, and asked her to look at it and check it.

Cui Ying is not Chen Guan's wife, and she is much older than Chen Guan, she knows that she has no power and no reason to be jealous, but she is sad in her heart and has nowhere to vent.

Seeing Chen Guan take out the book, the resentment in Cui Ying's heart calmed down a little, and said: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, when you become the deputy director, you have to pay attention to your image." Don't make other girls' bellies bigger, they can't end up, no matter how big the work is, it will be in vain, and you can only let others see the jokes! ”

Chen Guan made Cui Ying nagging upset, urging Cui Ying to hurry up.

Cui Ying followed up with a sentence: "It's for your own good, don't know what to do!" In the future, you will work in the county seat, and I will work in Tonghua Town, and you want me to say that you can't do it! ”

After speaking, Cui Ying picked up the book.

There are 294 volumes of the main text of the "Zizhi Tongjian", 30 volumes of the "Catalogue", and 30 volumes of "Examination of Differences", a total of 354 volumes. When it was bound, it was bound according to the serial number of each volume, thin and thick, and a total of 30 volumes were bound.

Cui Ying looked at it, the cover of the book was blue, and there were four large seal characters printed on it with vertical typesetting "Zizhi Tongjian", next to each other were four small seal characters, and there were also four smaller seal characters under the book cover, followed by the date of printing.

Cui Ying didn't know how to read seals, but last time Chen Guan told him that the gift was an engraving of "Zizhi Tongjian" compiled by Sima Guang in the Song Dynasty printed by Chen's bookstore. She is so smart, she doesn't need Chen Guan to introduce her, she can think that the four small seal characters next to the title of the book must be written by Sima Guang, and the four small seal characters under the book cover are the four characters of the Chen Family Bookstore.

As soon as Cui Ying opened the book, Chen Guan introduced: "This paper is imported from Longjing Village, Xiaotun Township, Zhenfeng County, southwest Guizhou, called white cotton paper, which is made of tree bark and cactus as the main raw materials, after 72 processes, after several months, it has the characteristics of good toughness, strong water absorption, and is not easy to perish, and it is the preferred paper for engraving and printing, which is very rare." ”

Cui Ying let out a "hmm", didn't raise her head, and looked at herself.

The book is thread-bound, with a yellow silk ribbon sandwiched in the middle, which is easy to mark when reading.

Chen Guan also introduced that the title of the book is in seal style, and the content is in thin gold style. This thin gold body was founded by Song Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty.

At this time, the TV series "Water Margin" has not yet been broadcast, and the information is not as developed as more than ten years later, Song Huizong was characterized as the king of the dead country in history, and the evaluation is not high, many people don't know about him, let alone know that he is good at painting and calligraphy.

Cui Ying knew Song Huizong, she had read the novel "Water Margin".

As soon as Chen Guan said, Cui Ying pursed her lips and smiled: "Is it the official Song Huizong who had a tryst with the famous prostitute Master Li on the Water Margin?" I can't imagine that his handwriting is so good! ”

Cui Ying smiled, happy, Chen Guan was also happy, and said: "Song Huizong was very bad as an emperor, reusing traitorous ministers, and he didn't have the eloquence to reverse the situation, but he is a well-deserved master of art." In addition to the creation of thin gold calligraphy, Song Huizong also included painting in the imperial examination, which played a major role in promoting the development of Chinese painting. In addition to calligraphy, Song Huizong is proficient in poetry and painting, blowing, playing and singing, his flower and bird paintings can be called a must, and each of the surviving paintings is an absolute national treasure! You see, this word is thin and straight, thin without losing its flesh, horizontal drawing with a hook, vertical drawing with a point, skimming like a dagger, like a knife, and a slender vertical hook. Just like the pine trees on the cliffs, they are full of muscles and spirits! ”

Chen Guan didn't want to think about it, he said that Cui Ying could understand these things! Her cultural literacy is not up to this level!

Sure enough, after Cui Ying heard this, she raised her face, looked at Chen Guan with both eyes, and sighed in a low voice for a long time: "How do you know so much?" Good Chen Guan, you have to teach me in the future. Otherwise, you'll think I'm stupid and don't understand anything! Maybe I want to see you in the future, but you don't even bother to see me! ”

Chen Guan hurriedly said: "This is in the office, what are you talking nonsense?" By the way, you said to use this book as a souvenir, okay? ”

Cui Ying smiled: "Such a precious souvenir, absolutely fine!" ”

After speaking, Cui Ying added: "This book looks antique, and at a glance, you can see that the Tao is very valuable!" ”

That's what Chen Guan wants!

Cui Ying asked Chen Guan how many sets he brought?

Chen Guan said that a total of 50 sets of this book have been printed, and according to the printing number, the first three sets were left in the bookstore for exhibits, and the fourth set was kept by himself, leaving 46 sets and bringing in 36 sets. No way, the car is too small to fit so much.

Cui Ying saw that the price was 1,600 yuan printed on the back of the book, so she asked Chen Guan if it was worth so much money.

Chen Guan replied that this is only the cost price, and the engraving of the seal character book title and thin gold script should only be the Chen Family Bookstore in the country. Moreover, each set of engraving can theoretically only print a maximum of 10,000 sets. The engraving of this set of "Zizhi Tongjian" in the Chen Family Bookstore is an ancient version, which is extremely precious, and at best, it can only print three or five thousand sets of books, so it must be sealed and kept properly. Therefore, each of these books is a rare edition book and an out-of-print book. No matter who you give it to, it will appreciate in the future. At the very least, there is no problem in quadrupling the price!

When Cui Ying heard this, she was silent, and after thinking for a long time, she said: "Since it is so valuable, you can't give it away casually!" Otherwise, the city leaders, the leaders of the municipal units, and the main leaders of our county will send this book, and the other guests will re-purchase souvenirs, and they will send the kind of teacups and briefcases at the last symposium! ”

Cui Ying is reluctant!

As soon as Chen Guan heard this, he reminded Cui Ying that the souvenirs were different and had a bad impact!

Cui Ying shook her head and said: "There are many VIPs who come to the opening ceremony, and each leader may bring a secretary and driver, and the leaders of the city and county should bring a section chief, even if they bring all 50 sets, it is not enough." Besides, some of the guests who came liked the book, and some people might think that the book was not as affordable as a teacup or briefcase! Don't say it, do as I say, call someone to move all the books to me, and I'll arrange it! ”

Chen Guan thought that what Cui Ying said was also true, so he went out and called someone to help move the book!
