26 million ......

Lu Ningshuang took out her mobile phone and pressed it a few times, and calculated the true value of this golden tree, not to mention whether it was a thousand pure gold, but it weighed less than ten kilograms, and it was only less than 16 million when converted into New Taiwan dollars, and now it actually added a processing fee of more than 10 million, which is really too dark, right?

Li Yi hesitated for a moment and asked:

"May I ask if you remember who sent it?"

Zhang Xu smiled,

"According to my father, not long after he came to Taiwan, he had this thing, and he was still a child at that time......"

Li Yi sighed and said with a smile:

"Since it's my aunt who speaks, I have to give face anyway, I bought this tree!"

Hearing this, Lu Ningshuang rolled her eyes, she wanted to save face and suffer from it, and she didn't bother to pay attention to you!

After two minutes, I still felt a little angry, and couldn't help but ask quietly:

"You are such a way to buy, you are not afraid that if you encounter good things in the future, people will kill you?"

Li Yi had already thought of the reason for the sophistry,

"What can be put outside, it is generally not too good things, there are so many things in this house, there are definitely a lot of good treasures, how can he take it out if he doesn't show some strength?"

Lu Ningshuang pursed her lips, thinking about it carefully, it seems that it may be a little reasonable, forget it, she doesn't understand these things anyway, just remind her!

Li Yi's words are not completely dealing with Lu Ningshuang, because according to common sense, really good things will not be put out and treated like street goods. And judging from the background of this house, although there will not be many good things, there are definitely them, but I don't know if they were sent away in advance.

He didn't have to wait long, and the answer was soon revealed.

After dinner, several people were about to go back and look at the antiques, when Zhang Xu suddenly stopped Li Yi,

"Mr. Li, there is another thing at home, which was originally not prepared to be dealt with, but now that you really like it, I guess it will not be insulted, so ......"

"Oh? And the good stuff? Let's go, let's go! ”

Zhang Xu hesitated for a moment, glanced at the people behind him, Li Yi pondered for a while, and was about to speak, Ren Yuhuang had already walked out without looking back,

"I'll go around the garden and eat by the way."

Lu Ningshuang didn't understand what was going on, but seeing him act like this, he suddenly understood, and smiled at Li Yi,

"Wait, I'll go with you."

Seeing that the fat elephant and the two were also about to leave, Li Yi stopped Gu Feng,

"Madman, you go up with me."

Zhang Xu nodded and led the two to the second floor.

"Mr. Li, before looking at things, I still have a reluctant request, because things are too valuable, so even if you are not interested, I want to ask you two to keep it secret."

Li Yi saw what he said solemnly, and the expectation in his heart couldn't help but be a little higher, what kind of treasure could this be, so that he could be so cautious?

Zhang Xu glanced at Li Yi's expression and said with a smile:

"Actually, it doesn't matter if it's kept secret or not, because I guess, you will definitely be interested in this thing, Mr. Li, maybe, you will ask me to keep it secret later, haha, please!"

The thing Zhang Xu said was placed in a secret compartment in the study on the second floor, which was indeed a good thing, and in Li Yi's opinion, this thing could even be called a peerless good treasure.

Moreover, this good thing can be said to be one, or it can be said to be five. Because, what Zhang Xu took out was a set of rare books, but unfortunately it was not complete, and he only had five volumes here.

But even if there are only five volumes, in Li Yi's opinion, this is already a very incredible collection. Because these five ancient books are nothing else, they are the magnificent books compiled in the Yongle period, known as the largest encyclopedia in the history of the world, "Yongle Canon"!

"Yongle Canon" was compiled in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, and was compiled by the then cabinet chief assistant Xie Jin, a collection of Chinese classical literature in Dacheng. The book has a total of 22,937 volumes, 11,095 volumes, and about 370 million words, bringing together almost seven or eight thousand books.

To this day, the original canon compiled in the Yongle period has never survived, and all that exists is a copy of the rerecorded during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty.

However, even if there are copies, most of them have been lost and destroyed, and there are less than 800 volumes in existence!

The size of the Yongle Canon is different from that of other ancient books, and each volume is a tome with a height of 50.3 centimeters and a width of 30 centimeters. The leaves of the book are made of snow-white, thick bark paper, which exudes a faint bookish fragrance after being opened, and the grand opening book is very royal majesty and spirit.

Each volume of the Dictionary is about 50 pages, most of which are two volumes, and a few are one or three volumes.

Therefore, although there are 800 copies of the "Great Canon" in existence, there are only about 400 volumes, and due to historical reasons, a total of 30 units are scattered in 8 countries and regions.

Among them, except for the Huaxia National Library, which has a collection of more than 200 volumes, most of the others are in single digits, and Zhang Xu actually took out 5 volumes at one time, which has to be said to be a huge surprise!

The five volumes of the "Great Canon" collected by Zhang Xu are all two-volume, which are one rhyme for "history", one rhyme for "drama", one rhyme for "drama", and two rhymes for "zhi".

Just like many English encyclopedias use 26 English letters to arrange their table of contents, rhyme is how the Yongle Dadian arranges the table of contents.

Among them, under the rhyme of the word "history", they are all historical books, the rhyme of the word "drama" is miscellaneous drama, the rhyme of the word "drama" is the drama text, and the rhyme of the word "zhi" is something like local history.

The books in Zhang Xu's collection are very well preserved, but one of them has a slightly charred black corner, which seems to have been burned by fire.

After checking the other books, Li Yi cautiously picked up this ancient book, which should have been from the fire, briefly flipped through it, and opened the spirit card.

Immediately, he raised his eyebrows, and there was a little more surprise and solemnity in his eyes when he looked at this ancient book.

This is a book of "Zhi" rhyme, judging from the title of the volume, it should be the "Xijin Zhi" that has been published in a collection at present.

"Xijin Zhi" is a book written by the late Yuan people about the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, and it is the earliest work found now that specializes in the local history of Yanjing. There are four sources of information for the current publication of the "Xijin Zhi", and the "Yongle Dadian" is one of them.

However, this was not the reason for Li Yi's shock, what shocked him was that the spirit card told him that this volume was compiled in the Yongle period!

In other words, this two-volume "Xijin Zhi" is actually the original of the "Yongle Canon" that has never appeared!

At present, there are different opinions about the whereabouts of the original "Yongle Canon", and there is a certain basis, and after sorting, there are almost 6 of them.

First, the "Great Canon" was destroyed in Jingnan in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties; second, it is hidden in the wall of the Imperial Palace (Imperial Library); Third, it was destroyed in the fire of the Qianqing Palace during the Jiaqing period; Fourth, the palace was burned down by fire during the Wanli period; Fifth, it was burned in Yanjing Palace at the end of the Ming Dynasty; Sixth, he was buried in the tomb of Emperor Jiajing.

Among these 6 theories, there are 4 related to fire, and judging from this volume of "Xijin Zhi", the second and sixth statements can be ruled out, if the original "Great Canon" has really been completely destroyed, then, 90% of the time it is likely to be destroyed by fire!

Li Yi can fully imagine what a shock the academic community will be if the original copy of this "Great Canon" appears in front of the public, so he also deeply understands why Zhang Xu wanted him to keep it secret just now.

As Zhang Xu said, he now wants to ask Zhang Xu to keep it secret for him. Because even if there is no original of this volume, it is only a copy of these 4 re-recorded volumes, once it is present, it is a great thing!

Seeing that Li Yi had finished reading it all, Zhang Xu smiled,

"These 5 copies, 2 million dollars each, no two prices!"

Li Yi raised his eyebrows, 2 million per book? No original copies?

Immediately, he suddenly came to his senses. Such a precious thing, they must not dare to ask someone to help identify it, and with their level, they can't tell the difference between the original and the copy from the list of compilers at the back of the book, so this time it is cheaper!

"No problem! Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhang really said that the matter of these volumes of "Dictionary", I hope Mr. Zhang can keep it secret for me! ”

Zhang Xu nodded cautiously,

"The news must not be leaked, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to take it out of the island. But even so, the risk is still very high, and I suggest you can try it with Ren Yuhuang. ”

"Looking for him?"

"Well, their main business is smuggling, and as for collecting protection money and grabbing land, these are all things that street gangsters do, and people like them don't bother to do these things anymore."

"Oh?"

Although Li Yi had speculations about the identities of Ren Xiaoyao and Ren Yuhuang before, this was the first time he had obtained definite information. Although he had the heart to inquire further, he was afraid that Zhang Xu would suspect his relationship with Ren Yuhuang and cause another twist and turn, so he thought about it for a while and held back.

"They have registered an ocean-going company in Hong Kong, and they have two 200,000-ton oil tankers and a 50,000-ton cruise ship under their names, and they usually mainly smuggle crude oil, but some people on the island know that they can smuggle anything other than not being human snakes."

Glancing at the thoughtful Li Yi, Zhang Xu said tentatively:

"The two King Kong statues you bought from Liu Fatzi, I suggest that you better transport them to Hong Kong through them, otherwise, it will be very risky."

Li Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head, there are really no stupid people in this world, even if he didn't react at the time, his performance after this is enough to show that the reason why he accepted those two statues was because he recognized them as genuine!

"Hahahaha, remember to give me a message after Mr. Li leaves, so I can use this to stimulate Liu Fatzi! NND, who usually looks at five people and six, didn't expect it to be so not a thing! ”

Zhang Xu saw Li Yi's expression, and the last bit of doubt in his heart was also swept away, although he was a little regretful, but when he thought that Liu Fatzi might vomit blood in anger, he couldn't help laughing.

Stealing chickens doesn't make rice, once you have to be rampant!
