Chapter 686 . Treasure Cave
"At that time, my father didn't know how many things he had brought out, and now there are only two things left." Zhao Wujian said, "One is a plate, and the other is a painting. He took out a scroll of paintings from his pocket and spread it out, revealing an ink painting with a majestic momentum in front of the two of them, "This is it." ”
Zhao Manxiong took a closer look, "Why is it copied again?" ”
"It turns out that the picture is not well preserved, it is already very brittle, and I am afraid that it will rot if I take it." Zhao Wujian said.
"You still need the original drawing, and such a photocopied picture can't explain anything." Zhao Manxiong said. But having said that, in fact, you can see a lot of things, although this painting is a copy, but you can see that the structure is very good, the pen is strong, full of momentum, not ordinary people can draw it, it is modern, you can have this skill can also be regarded as a master, and you will definitely not take it casually to joke.
"I'll go back and look for it, and I've framed it." Zhao Wujian said.
Zhao Manxiong looked at the painting carefully, and there was a mountain full of pine trees painted on it, judging from the shape and surroundings, it should be a pine mountain. There is a cemetery on the halfway mountainside, the front of the cemetery is the dismount workshop, the stele is engraved with six big characters of "the officials of the division dismount", the two sides of the Shinto in front of the mausoleum are arranged with twelve pairs of stone statues, there are two pairs of stone lions, stone hedgehogs, stone camels, stone unicorns, stone dogs and stone horses, stand against each other, and the shape is vivid.
"This ...... This is ...... "Zhao Manxiong looked at this shape, isn't it an imperial mausoleum?" But when I think about it, I don't think it's right, Matsuyama is just a small dirt bag, and according to the proportions, these buildings and stone statues are not big at all. Compared to the real imperial tomb, this mausoleum is like a pyramid and the pyramid of Shenzhen's Window of the World. Who would use this kind of burial? Looking at the payment again, the date on it is the eighteenth year of Jianwen, what is going on?
Jianwen is the year name of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yunwen, who is the grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, because his father died early to take over the throne. Later, he did not do a good job of cutting the domain, and was defeated by his uncle Zhu Di and grabbed the throne, and his whereabouts are unknown. From the accession to the disappearance, there are only four years from beginning to end, where did Jianwen come from for eighteen years? If you want to joke, this kind of painting is not something that can be painted casually, and the red plate in the glaze of Hongwu, which is worth millions, is not a joke.
Could it be Huang Wenbin's trap? This doesn't make sense, if there is really a large tomb on Songshan, then it will definitely be protected, but it is not a temporary stoppage, but a permanent stoppage. Even if it is fake, with all the evidence at hand, it can be delayed for several years, what can Huang Wenbin get?
Don't...... Could this be a real Ming Dynasty tomb? Could it be Zhu Yunwen's grave? Zhu Yunwen lost the war and fled, and died in the eighteenth year of Jianwen, and his subordinates buried him in Songshan, because he was the emperor, so he had to refer to the specifications of the imperial tomb, but they were on the run, they didn't have much money on hand, and they had to be sneaky, so they could only be cultivated like Lilliputian. Later, it may be reported by someone, or it may have happened to other accidents, so all the buildings on the ground can be demolished and things hidden. Later, the search became more and more severe, and Zhu Yunwen's dream of recovering the country also disappeared, and then the Ming and Qing dynasties alternated, and the Qing Dynasty fell, leaving only the descendants of such a tomb keeper.
The more Zhao Manxiong thinks about it, the more right he is, if this is the case, he will be developed, he has discovered the tomb of Emperor Jianwen, solved the mystery of the ages, and the evidence is conclusive, I don't know where it is higher than the tomb of Cao Cao, "Where are the other things, where is the hidden place where the things are hidden?" ”
"In a cave." Zhao Wujian said.
"Take me with you!" Zhao Manxiong said impatiently.
"It's my family's biggest secret." Zhao Wujian said.
"Don't worry, the country won't treat you badly." Zhao Manxiong said.
"Really?" Zhao Wujian asked.
"Of course it's true, if you donate something to the state, the state will give you proper compensation." Zhao Manxiong said. According to the state's regulations, whether buried in the soil or hidden in the water, everything is the property of the state, and needless to say, the things hidden in the cave do not belong to the individual. Thinking about it like this, Zhao Manxiong suddenly became greedy, if he wants to become famous, the grave is enough, and the things in the treasure house can be sold and he will make a fortune.
"How much do you think I can compensate me for this plate?" Zhao Wujian suddenly asked.
"This?" Zhao Manxiong really didn't know, if he said too little, Zhao Wujian would definitely not be satisfied, if he said too much, maybe he wouldn't be able to cash it out at that time, he looked at Zhao Wujian's face and gritted his teeth, "You can compensate hundreds of thousands, I can't say how much." ”
"Hundreds of thousands!" Zhao Wujian sighed, "The country really won't treat us badly, in fact, I went to find a cultural relics dealer, and that guy told me that he could only give me 80,000 yuan." I said that this is the antique of the Ming Dynasty, he said that the price of the Ming Dynasty is also this price, I asked several more, the most is only 100,000 yuan, the state can make up hundreds of thousands, that is really good. ”
"One hundred thousand?" Zhao Manxiong thought he was mistaken, and hurriedly picked up the plate to look at it carefully, there was no punch or crack, it was an intact glaze red plate, and he checked the pulp again, it must be more than a few hundred years, it is impossible to use any method to fake, as for the title pattern or something, he doesn't understand it very well, after all, he is not studying this aspect of things. Glaze red is difficult to make, the number of surviving is scarce, as long as it is an antique, it is impossible to only have 100,000. It must be that the antiquities dealers are too black-hearted.
"Yes, the highest is only 100,000, and it is said that it is for my poor sake. Those guys have no conscience at all, and I know it at a glance, thinking that I am a peasant, and they don't understand anything. Zhao Wujian said, "It's good to have hundreds of thousands, and you can build a seven-story house for your son to get married." ”
"Actually...... National policies are very easy to change, and I can only say that you can strive for them, and how much you can approve depends on the will of the leaders. Zhao Manxiong said, "Sometimes the leader is in a good mood, maybe he can approve 8.9 million yuan, and sometimes he is in a bad mood, that is, there are 200,000 or 300,000 yuan." ”
"Huh? How much can you approve of that? Zhao Wujian asked.
"You put the plate here first, and I'll fight for it." Zhao Manxiong said.
"Put you here......" Zhao Wujian hesitated.
"Is there anything you can't believe in this?" Zhao Manxiong said, "In this way, I'll give you 100,000 yuan as a mortgage first, and then write you a receipt, this will always work, right?" ”
"Yes, yes." Zhao Wujian said.
"Do you have a bank account number?" Zhao Manxiong asked.
"Yes." Zhao Wujian said.
"Okay, let's go to the bank." Zhao Manxiong said. When he arrived at the bank, Zhao Manxiong transferred 100,000 yuan to Zhao Wujian's account, looking at Zhao Wujian completely relieved, Zhao Manxiong said, "Today is over, after all, it is still a little dangerous to enter the mountain, why don't you stay in the hotel with me for one night, we are ready, and we will go to your house and the treasure cave tomorrow." In fact, Zhao Manxiong was not completely relieved, for fear of being led by Zhao Wujian to an inaccessible place and knocked over with a stick.
"That'...... Okay, it's just that the money for staying in the hotel, can you ......," Zhao Wujian said squeezing one after another.
"Of course I'm out." Zhao Manxiong said.
"That's great." Zhao Wujian said.
opened another room for Zhao Wujian to live in, Zhao Manxiong immediately found a colleague and sent him a photo, "I met a lot of those things here for me to identify, it's really annoying, I can still look at bronzes or something, I don't know anything about porcelain, you help me see what this thing is." ”
"You have to be really good at appraising antiques, how can you look at photos." Colleague said.
"I've seen things, and the pulp is fine, it's hundreds of years old." Zhao Manxiong said.
"Wait a minute...... This is a glaze red plate, a good thing. Said a colleague.
"You can see it in the photo?" Zhao Manxiong said that in fact, he did not doubt the authenticity of this thing.
"This plate is very open, you've seen the pulp again, it should be fine." The colleague said, "Wow, it's still Hongwu, it's really a good thing, it's good, it's the most standard Hongwu glaze red." Last time I saw an identical one at an auction, I wanted to buy it, but unfortunately I didn't have enough money. ”
"How much is this thing worth?" Zhao Manxiong asked, he would look at the truth or falsehood, and he was not so good at how much it was worth.
"The last auction was 5.5 million, and now that more than a year has passed, it should have risen a little more." Colleague said.
"Then I'll tell others about five million of this thing." Zhao Manxiong said.
"Yes, absolutely." The colleague said, "If that person is willing to sell for 4.5 million, you might as well take it and I'll buy it from you." I've long wanted a Hongwu's glaze red, but I can't always touch the right one, and when I see the right one, I don't have enough money to buy it. Why are people who play antiques so stupid and have a lot of money? ”
"Okay, I'll help you ask." Zhao Manxiong said that he would not sell this plate to a colleague, a difference of one million.
Early the next morning, Zhao Manxiong called Zhao Wujian to get up, "Uncle, I asked for you yesterday, if you are willing to donate this Hongwu glazed red plate, our leader will give you a reward of 100,000 yuan." I can only add it to 130,000. ”
"130,000? That's too little. Zhao Wujian said, "Researcher Zhao, didn't you listen to me say that others are only willing to pay 100,000 yuan, so they will suppress my price, right?" You can't do such a conscienceless thing. I want to build a house for my son to get married, and I can't get down without 300,000 yuan! ”
"We are our family, and we don't help you help anyone. I thought of another way, you give me the plate, and I will help you write a paper and give it directly to the museum, and the price will be higher. Zhao Manxiong said, "At least it can be sold for at least 400,000 yuan, what do you think of the price?" ”
"Of course it's a good price, but is it legal?" Zhao Wujian asked.
"Of course it's legal, but I'm a researcher at the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, so how can I do something illegal. But there is one thing, don't leak the news, I can sell it for four or five hundred thousand in my hands, but I only have fourteen or five thousand in your hands. Zhao Manxiong said, "That's it, I'll give you 450,000 yuan first, and you give me the plate." When the time comes, we will see how much we can sell, and return more and make up for less. ”
"This ......" Zhao Wujian thought about it for a while, "Okay, when the matter is done, I will thank you again." ”
"Then let's hurry up." Zhao Manxiong said.
After transferring the account, Zhao Manxiong earned more than 5 million, and he was in a very comfortable mood, thinking that Huang Wenbin gave 10 million what was it, if he promised him, the 5 million would not be earned, and there was a whole treasure cave waiting, I don't know how much gold, silver and jewelry there were, this is Emperor Jianwen's belongings, and any thing taken out is an antique.
