"Grandpa, it's best not to trouble them with this kind of trivial matter."

Grandpa Zhang said: "Trouble is always inevitable. Do you remember how much energy and time it took for us to apply for the approval of the Heyuan Museum, and in the end it was your godfather who called to solve the problem, and now we are building a museum in the capital, just approving a museum name is a trivial matter, if you want to crown a national name, I'm afraid it is not a trivial matter. ”

Wuyang smiled: "It's true, but if my godfather can continue to stay in office or become normal this time, it won't be a problem." When the museum opens, I will invite my godfather, a few fathers-in-law, and Brother Zhang to come, and the competent authorities will know the background of our museum in the future and will not come to disturb them. ”

"When the time comes, we will also exhibit the bronze heavy weapons that we dare not exhibit, so that we can open nine exhibition halls such as bronze, ancient weapons, porcelain, jade, calligraphy and painting, ivory carving, stone carving, wood carving, and miscellaneous according to the classification of cultural relics."

Wuyang said: "Grandpa, our porcelain, jade, ancient weapons, and ivory carvings are enough to carry out the museum, but others are still not enough, such as stone carvings, which are just those carved by Yu Huijuan's father." ”

"Wuyang, can I talk nonsense? The objects I got back from Europe this time, there are more than 2,000 stone carvings, Shoushan stone, Chang fossil stone, and some other stone carvings, I estimate that they were snatched from the Summer Palace and the palaces, all of them are fine products, there are more than 200 inkstones alone, China's four famous inkstones have, basically all of them are from the hands of famous artists, these objects are not valued in the West, I am from the corner of the basement of their museum. There are also a lot of wood carvings, lacquerware, which we were missing before. Wuyang, aren't you practicing calligraphy? I'll bring you two inkstones back one day. You didn't say there were ancient weapons. Do you have a sword? ”

"There are swords, and there are quite a few. Grandpa, the inkstone is not needed, I practice calligraphy, that is, just getting started, the inkstone used are all purchased Sheyan, Duan inkstone, you bring back the ancient name inkstone, in case the children accidentally break. It's a pity, stay in the museum, it's not our home? ”

"Putting it at home is not the same thing as a museum, once it is exhibited, not to mention the management of the cultural relics department, or the museum must be registered, and the procedures for lending it out are quite cumbersome, let alone taking it home."

Wuyang said: "Grandpa, although these things belong to us temporarily, they should belong to the country and the nation." No matter how long or short our lives are, we are just here to walk through the world. If the children and grandchildren are not angry and take these things out and sell them, it is better to stay in the museum and stay firmly. ”

Grandpa Zhang said: "This is the principle, since the founding of New China, there have been many people who have donated precious cultural relics, and you can decide for yourself what to do with it in the future." However, we still have to take some of the swords home, we are all martial arts practitioners, and we can't do it without a sword at home. ”

"Grandpa, it's the era of nuclear weapons now, those antiques should stay in the museum, what are you going to do with them?"

"I'm in charge of this matter, it's enough to have a sword in the museum, and I have to take the rest home. I don't want it, you use it with your children. Wuyang, you've practiced your boxing skills well, and you've only practiced one set of swordsmanship, right? ”

"Yes, Uncle taught me a set of swordsmanship."

"I tell you, your uncle and those uncles' swordsmanship has only learned one or two sets, I still have a few sets of swordsmanship, which is more difficult, one of them, I have practiced for decades, and I have not yet comprehended its essence, I have seen so many apprentices and grandchildren, that is, you may understand it, you go to the museum now, take two swords back, and we will start practicing at night."

Wuyang said, "You don't drink at night?" ”

Grandpa Zhang smiled and said, "When I drink ten points of wine, I dance a very good sword." ”

Hu Minbo said: "Grandpa, I also want to learn." ”

Grandpa Zhang said: "Yes, you ask Wuyang to get you a sword, I will dance for you twice in each set of swordsmanship at night, and then explain it again, and you will give you the sword when you learn it, otherwise you can't ask for a sword." ”

Wuyang said: "Minbo's contribution is particularly great, and I should give him a sword." ”

Grandpa Zhang said: "In the previous era of cold weapons, the person with the sword must be the person with the stunt, otherwise people will challenge you, and you can only draw the sword to meet you, then you will not die early." ”

Wuyang said: "Grandpa, the TV series "Bright Sword" a few years ago is the same as what you said, but that is all in the past, and who else will run around with a sword now." ”

"According to you, there is no need to practice swordsmanship. In fact, I'm talking about a phenomenon, of course, no one will wear swords everywhere in the peaceful and prosperous era, but we practice swordsmanship in order not to let swordsmanship be lost, in order to carry it forward. Since it is to be passed on, it will inevitably happen one day when it can be used. The sword battle is not a mahjong game, you can come again if you lose, it is a fight for your life. ”

Min Bo said: "Grandpa, I don't want Brother Wuyang's sword, I can't learn it, just give it back to him." Over the years, I think I haven't slacked off for a day, and there is still some progress in martial arts, if you can learn your stunts and practice with Brother Wuyang, you can improve each other. ”

Grandpa Zhang smiled: "Minbo, you and Minqiang, as well as your little brothers, are all taught by me, you can progress, of course I am happy, but I don't know how you have learned culture in the past few years." ”

"Grandpa, I've been studying hard, and my memory is very good, and I think I should be able to graduate from college, so I went to apply for graduate school, and I'm going to take the exam soon."

Wuyang said, "Minbo, didn't you want to study before?" ”

Min Bo smiled: "Grandpa looked at my face and said that I was like you, I was a rich and noble face, and Dafu has done it now, but if you are not an official, how can you be noble, and if you have no culture, how can you be an official?" So I started reading. ”

"You are only 25 years old this year, you will go to graduate school next year, and you can get a doctorate at the age of 30, it is not too late, and then you will be admitted to the civil service. What graduate program are you going to apply for? ”

"I want to study economics and management for a master's degree, and I want to study law for a doctorate."

Wuyang smiled: "That's about the same as me, but Shuobo is the opposite of me." Which school are you applying for? ”

"It's your alma mater. I'm just going to ask you to help you connect with a tutor. ”

"Well said. I'll go to the capital in a few days. I'll get in touch with you. Minbo, after you go to study, who will you give your job to? ”

"Now there are a few sisters-in-law who can do this, Huaihua Village and Mingyue Lake are relatively close, so I will leave it to them, and they can go to other places if they want, and if they don't want to, I will go, anyway, there are winter and summer vacations. Graduate school students don't have to sit in a classroom every day like elementary school students. ”

"Okay, you study and work at the same time, and the treatment you should be given will not be less. Min Qiang won't go to school too, right? ”

Min Bo said: "He didn't go, now that our meridians have been opened, his memory is very good, and it's a pity that he doesn't have to read books, so grandpa arranged for him to study books on jewelry, jade and ancient cultural relics, and he can make his debut in a few years and do cultural relics appreciation for the company." ”

Grandpa Zhang said: "In the future, let him be the director of the Beijing Museum." He can combine book knowledge with physical research, and then use his rich knowledge of cultural relics. Communicating with friends in the collection industry makes our museum not only have the largest collection of cultural relics and the highest grade, but also the most research results. ”

"I agree with Grandpa's idea, Minbo, you have all become pillars, and I am the happiest."

Min Bo said: "Brother Wuyang, when I enter the officialdom in the future, I still want you to support me." ”

Wuyang smiled: "We are brothers, I don't carry you, who do I carry." Okay, you sit down for a while, I'll go get the sword and come back, and let's have a few drinks with grandpa." ”

Drove to the museum, found the curator Tan Changqiao, and told him to take away 3 swords, Tan Changqiao said: "Secretary Li, during this time, I took people to register this batch of cultural relics, and the research work has not yet begun, I will organize people to conduct research tomorrow, can you take it slowly?" ”

Wuyang said: "Director Tan, you just don't find these swords. ”

"That's not good, archaeological work is a strict work, and seeing cultural relics and letting them be lost is a dereliction of duty, which is the same nature as self-theft."

Wuyang smiled: "It's not so strict, there are so many swords, I just took 3 of them, and the rest are enough for you to study, and if necessary, I can be responsible for sending them back, and then exchange them for those that have been studied, do you think it's okay?" ”

"No, I can't. Secretary Li, every sword has its historical heritage, we have studied it, written research results, without physical evidence as evidence, it is tantamount to fabrication, groundless, which is contrary to the principles of archaeology, so I want your understanding. ”

"Professor Tan, then you can let me take away a few ordinary swords."

Tan Changqiao said: "When we registered, we took a preliminary look at this batch of cultural relics, none of them were ordinary, those gold ingots, silver ingots, looked ordinary, that is, the currency of the government at that time, but for archaeology, when were they minted, the purity of the gold ingots, and the various metal components of the silver ingots all reflected the economic conditions of the society and the imperial court at that time." After we studied the social production and economic conditions at the time of casting, we also had to study why it was transported here, it stands to reason that the soldiers of the Dashun Dynasty were hunted down and killed at that time, and they were already in a state of collapse, they were peasant rebels, and the military discipline was extremely poor, these treasures should have been looted, why could they be preserved so completely? Also, how could they use so much manpower and energy to transport the treasures from the far north to here in such a situation where they were hunted down and killed, and who was the organizer? Yihe is now only a medium-sized city, why was it favored by the generals of the Great Shun Dynasty at that time? These are the things we need to look at. Therefore, these cultural relics cannot be lost, and of course those precious woods are also included. You don't know, I've had all the timber come in. ”

"Professor Tan, the research on these cultural relics shouldn't be able to be completed in a few years, right?"

"Yes, the so-called Haoshou Poor Sutra of the ancients is very suitable for us here, and it may not be finished in my lifetime, so I invited some former colleagues, some students, and a few graduate students, and now a research team of 15 people has been formed, ready to systematically study this batch of cultural relics. Secretary Li, this matter may not be a good thing for you, you get a treasure, not only can you not keep it for yourself, but also have to spend huge financial resources to conduct research, with research results, it is those of us who do research work who have become famous. It has nothing to do with you. But you have to think about it. This is important for the archaeological community. It is of great benefit to the study of the history of the Chinese nation. With your financial resources and the vision of your senior cadres, you shouldn't be able to compare them, right? ”

Wuyang said: "It's also false to talk about not caring, now so many senior cadres do not hesitate to harm the interests of the country, embezzle and take bribes, why should I give away what belongs to me?" But in the face of a dedicated scholar like you. I can't think about it, the 5,000-year-old cultural inheritance of the Chinese nation is maintained by people with lofty ideals like you, and I may not be willing to be the queen? Besides, life is only a hundred years, and it is not worth it to be dragged down by these things outside the body. But you'll have to help me figure out how to make it possible for the museum to fend for itself. ”

"It's not possible now, unless you invest more and build museums that can generate ticket revenue," Tan said. ”

"The company's economic situation is acceptable right now. You can come up with some money, where do you think it's better to build a museum? ”

"The first choice is, of course, the capital."

"We have acquired land in the capital. It's about to be able to get into the construction phase, but what about the rest of the world? ”

Tan Changqiao said: "I went to see the place where you got this batch of cultural relics in Yihe, that place can build a medium-sized museum, I have asked people to clean up those green bricks and tiles, and in the future, the side facing the street will be decorated with these bricks and tiles, what do you think?" ”

"Okay, it just so happens that Yihe doesn't have a museum yet, so you can help me design one?"

Tan Changqiao said: "The museum is mainly practical and protective, and it does not need any novel and unique design, I can find a friend from the architectural design institute to design it." Secretary Li, the museum of Yihe, facing the street in the south, is a little more than 1,000 meters away from the scenery along the river in the north, there is still a shantytown, if you can buy it all, build a commercial street that sells jewelry and low-grade cultural relics, then the museum can sell some imitation cultural relics or handicrafts, and you can also sell tickets, and the income will be better. ”

Wuyang smiled: "Professor Tan is quite business-minded, but in a city like Yihe, it may be a little unrealistic to build a street to sell jewelry, but with other luxury goods, such as high-end clothing, leather goods, tobacco and alcohol, tea and so on, business will definitely be very good." Professor Tan, please find someone to design it in the next two days, and I will buy the land tomorrow. Although I didn't get the sword today, it wasn't a trip in vain, but I still gained a lot. ”

Tan Changqiao said: "Secretary Li, there are a few things that you may want to take back." When we were counting the ancient jade, we found a heirloom jade seal, we all thought it should be He's Bi, and the round white jade plate, too valuable, too eye-catching in the museum, that is not to prevent foreign thieves, even our researchers must be guarded against, it is necessary to live in fear all day long, we think it is better for you to take it home. ”

"Okay, if you need to study it in the future, I'll send it over. I also saw a few large seals in the gold ware, but I didn't look carefully at the seal characters, and I don't know if it was the gold seal of the court or the place. ”

Tan Changqiao said: "Whether it is the imperial court or the local government, the value of the gold seal is far lower than that of the jade seal, and the historical value cannot be the same, but for us to carry out archaeological work, the value is the same." Let's put it this way, we will keep the cultural relics, there is research value, there is exhibition value, we will depend on the situation, not suitable for exhibition, high value, we will hand over to you after research, low value, we will stay in the basement here. Do you think that's good? ”

"Okay, Professor Tan, I still say the same thing, that is, don't exhibit overly ostentatious cultural relics, don't involve me."

"We'll pay attention, now go and give you the jade seal and jade plate."

To the basement where the cultural relics were collected, Tan Changqiao found the jade seal and jade plate from the plastic box containing the ancient jade, and asked Wuyang to take it himself, and said with a smile: "Secretary Li, these 12 boxes of ancient jade, there are more than 3,000 pieces, each of which is priceless, and each of them has its own story. As an archaeologist, I am fortunate to be able to come into contact with so many ancient jade artifacts. ”

Wuyang picked up the jade, "Professor Tan, it is also my greatest luck to be able to hand over these jade and other cultural relics to you." ”

"It is a great blessing for the country to be able to preserve it for research. After we conduct research, it is enough to exhibit two or three hundred pieces in the Heyuan Museum and the museum in the capital, and the rest may still have to be kept by yourself, and the sword you want, just display a few as the treasures of the town hall, and the same is true for other cultural relics. Only those porcelain, the ones you salvage, plus the ones obtained this time, and the ones that Mr. Zhang bought back from Europe, the quantity is indeed too huge. ”

"Do you have any opinions about these porcelain?"

Tan Changqiao said: "Yes. A few of us discussed that if there is a museum that needs porcelain, and they can come up with other cultural relics that we need, we can exchange some appropriately, and we can auction some of them. ”

Wuyang smiled: "I have this idea, I am already preparing to build an auction house, and I am applying for approval, and I should be able to open the hammer at the end of the year." ”

Tan Changqiao said with a smile: "Secretary Li, I am not surprised that you can have such a huge wealth, your business philosophy is probably unattainable by ordinary people, and your way of employing people is unparalleled." ”

"You think too highly of me, in fact, I am an ordinary person, neither professional knowledge, nor management experience, I am in the officialdom, I can't spend too much energy to manage the enterprise, I can only rely on everyone, if I want to say that it is the way to use people, it is also forced to be helpless."

"Maybe that's why you're able to stand tall and see far. Secretary Li, if you want the museum to be profitable, you must get in touch with the tourism company and ask them to arrange a tour guide to bring guests. ”

"How do you know that?"

"My son is from the Tourism Bureau, and my daughter-in-law is from the Cultural Affairs Bureau, and they sometimes talk about this at home."

"Thank you, I'll ask my brother and sister-in-law for help in the future. Professor Tan, it's time for you to get off work, Grandpa Zhang has just returned from Europe, I want to accompany him to dinner, and I will invite you and experts and scholars to have dinner when I have time in the future. If you and you have relatives in the officialdom or need to work in the company, I can do my part. ”

Tan Changqiao said: "Secretary Li has the heart to help us, I will sue everyone." I also want to ask you for help with my affairs, but I don't know if it will make you embarrassed. ”

"Tell me about it."

"That's right, after my grandson was born, my son and daughter-in-law went abroad to study, and my wife and I were both professors, so we didn't have time to take care of the children, so the children were put in his grandfather's house to raise. His grandfather's family is in a martial arts town, martial arts practice, the child just can walk, grandpa began to teach him to practice martial arts, and did not let us know, when the child is going to study, my son returned to China to pick it up, only to know that the child can't sit still at all, all day long like to dance guns and sticks. ”

"How old are you now?"

"At the age of 20, he couldn't pass the university exam, he entered the provincial and municipal martial arts teams several times, and he didn't get good results in the competition, so he went to be a soldier, and he was afraid of hardship, so he was now a bodyguard for what boss."

"It's a good way to go."

"But what kind of boss is that, the assets are not more than 10 million at best, if it is a legitimate business, such a small amount of assets, do you need to hire bodyguards?" (To be continued......)
