Lin Yi was waiting outside, and there was not much time, when he saw the boss come out, holding a set of books in his hand like a baby. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info saw Lin Yi, he opened his mouth and said: "This is a real rare book, it was originally a set, but unfortunately the collector in front was careless, and the candle fell off when he was reading the book, and burned one book, so now 20 books are missing one, not enough sets." ”

Lin Yi heard what he said so precious, he thought it was a rare thing, and when the boss handed it over, he took it with respect, and when he looked closely, he was dumbfounded, it turned out to be the most common "Medical Sect Jinjian" in ancient books.

As we all know, "Yizong Jinjian" is a series of Han medicine books edited by the imperial physician Wu Qian in the fourth year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty. The name "Yizong Jinjian" was also appointed by Emperor Qianlong. "Yizong Jinjian" was included in the "Siku Quanshu", and it has a high evaluation of "Yizong Jinjian" in the "Summary of the Siku Quanshu". Since the book was written, this imperial imperial hospital textbook has been reprinted again and again. The book is divided into 90 volumes, which is one of the more complete and concise comprehensive Chinese medicine books in China. The book collects the essence of medical books from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Ming and Qing dynasties. Diagrams, sayings, formulas, and theories are available, and there are songs to be recited, especially for clinical practice. It is extremely widespread.

Because of the special status of this book, the print run has always been very large, starting from the Qianlong Emperor, through the nine emperors of the Qing Dynasty, almost every dynasty has been reprinted, "Yizong Jinjian" has gradually become a national medical teaching and learning must read, the criterion. Due to the wide demand, the government and businesses have printed the engraved copies very frequently, and so far there have been more than 50 editions in circulation, and a new version comes out every 4-5 years on average. This is not only due to the rich and concise content of the book, which is deeply loved by readers, but also because of the high praise and affirmation given by Emperor Qianlong. Therefore, this set of books belongs to the kind of thread-bound books that are rotten in the ancient book version.

Especially during the Cultural Revolution, although many ancient books were destroyed, some medicinal books were preserved by the authorities, including this "Medical Sect Jinjian". Therefore, in the online book-bound market, if you wander around the stalls, the most common thread-bound book is this kind of one or two copies of "Yizong Jinjian".

Of course, this is not to say that this set of books is not valuable and worthless, on the contrary, if this set of books belongs to the imperial version of the Qing Dynasty, then the value is also very expensive. For example, in 2009, Christie's China auction company auctioned a first engraved version of the Qianlong period, because of its high research value, so it attracted the attention of the majority of collectors after the auction, and finally sold for 4.8 million yuan.

However, for those who were not in the Qianlong period, the first edition of the imperial palace system, the value of this set of books is too low, specifically, scattered copies, good quality is about 50 yuan to 80 yuan, and the maximum set of complete sets is not more than 5000 yuan.

In fact, the reason why this set of books has such an incredible price code is completely in accordance with the principle of "rare things are expensive" in the collection.

But now, this mysterious boss actually gave Lin Yi a set of "Medical Sect Jinjian" that was enough to rot the street, and Lin Yi was really a little crying and laughing.

As a bibliophile and a book hunter, Lin Yi didn't know how many bookstalls and bookstores he had seen this kind of book.

The boss looked at Lin Yi's expression in a daze, and thought that he was shocked by his own set of books, so he smiled and said, "Not bad, this quality?" You can't see it in a small place, and you can only see such a good book in this big Shanghai. ”

Lin Yi smiled bitterly in his heart, and he could only say that he felt that this boss was a little cute, how could he treat such a thread-bound book as a treasure.

However, people didn't bother to help you find this set of thread-bound books, and Lin Yi wanted to show his sincerity to some extent, so he asked the boss: "How much?" ”

The boss waited for this sentence, and when he heard Lin Yi's question, he said: "Not much, although this set of books is very precious, but I see that you are also a reader, and you are from other places, and you can meet in this big Shanghai, which means that you and I are destined, so let's have a fateful price code, 18,000, what do you think?" ”

Damn, you're fool!

Of course, Lin Yi is not a fool, but he clearly knows that this "Tongzhi years" version of "Yizong Jinjian" is at most 120 yuan a copy, and 20 copies are only about 2,500 yuan.

Seeing that Lin Yi's expression seemed to be a little stunned, the boss explained with a smile: "As long as you play with books, you are very sensitive to editions, there are two dynasties in the Qing Dynasty that are very famous, one is the Shunzhi Dynasty and the other is the Tongzhi Dynasty...... Why? Because both dynasties were short. Shunzhi let the emperor go inappropriately, and finally went to Wutai Mountain to become a monk; Comrade is even more outrageous, a good emperor of the Qing Dynasty, because of a private visit to the micro-service, contaminated with flowers and willows, Cixi Lafayette in order to cover up the facts, let him die of illness. As a result, both dynasties were short-lived, and therefore the books published by this dynasty were very valuable. ”

Lin Yi was dizzy, or a little blindfolded.

Of course he knew about these two famous short-lived dynasties of the Qing Empire, but he was not as expensive as this boss said. Whether it is the ancient books of the Shunzhi period or the Tongzhi period, the price has not increased significantly. Why? Because ancient books are different from those porcelain, they are not unique, ancient books can be reprinted, can be re-engraved, porcelain is different, a kiln can only be fired one kind at a time. Therefore, porcelain will be affected by this kind of greater, for example, the price of porcelain in the Shunzhi and Tongzhi years is high, but the ancient books are different, and the boss is clearly fooling himself.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi didn't want to explain too much to this boss, but said: "These books are in good condition, and it is rare that they can be preserved until now during the Tongzhi period, but I already have a set of this "Medical Sect Jinjian", and if it is replaced by other books, I will take it." ”

Lin Yi's words were very tactful, and the boss was stunned for a moment and said, "No, such an old book...... Do you already have one? ”

Lin Yi nodded and said, "Yes, you don't have it all, I have a big set." ”

"Oh, that's a pity...... Such a good book. The boss was a little unwilling, and looked at Lin Yi with a sad look in his eyes, which means that he is saying, I have already taken out the book, and you don't want it.

Lin Yi's expression was indifferent, and he said in his heart, I want a bird, you bid 18,000 for this kind of book, and I'm not really stupid. (To be continued.) )
