224. Renovation of the Forbidden City

It turned out that after discussing with Wang Tian and Wan Gan, Wan Zu decided to get rid of the car first, so he changed direction at a fork in the road.

This caused the car that was originally going to the capital to change and drive back to Shantang.

Long Siyi slapped his thigh and burst into foul mouth. "Damn, I lost it, and I was not far in front of me just now."

"It's lost, Brother Long, then you should find it quickly."

"It's so good, let's not talk about it yet!" Long Si dropped the phone and chased forward, and then, two roads appeared in front of him, one was to the capital, and the other was to go to the mountain pond, Long Si chose the capital without hesitation, and he chased at full speed when he stepped on the accelerator to the end.

Passing through Shantang, and then going to the capital from Shantang, although more than an hour was wasted on the road, making the trip longer, but being able to get rid of the tracking, Wang Tian and the Wan brothers also felt that it was worth it.

When he finally arrived in the capital and approached the high-speed gate, Wang Tiancai went to think about who was following all the way from the island city, thinking about taking away the treasure.

However, Wang Tian really couldn't guess who it was, because there were not many people who knew the existence of the relics pagoda of the Dao Dao, and those who knew the Dao were all trusted by himself. Wang Tian didn't believe that any of them did it.

If the other party didn't succeed, he would definitely not give up, so Wang Tian had already contacted the museum in advance when he was on the highway.

They promised to send a part of the police force to meet Wang Tian at the highway gate, in case the treasure had an accident in this area.

A blockade is inevitable, and Long Si is very sure of the route that the Wan brothers drove, and they must be going to the capital, so even if they lose it. Long Si also knows how to wait for the rabbit.

After making peace with Cheng Biao, Cheng Biao also insisted that the other party was playing a trick, and they deliberately took a detour to avoid tracking. But there is only one destination.

If nothing else, this treasure must be traded with a large collector in the capital.

Long Si and Cheng Biao had been waiting at the highway intersection for an hour and a half.

They knew that if this treasure entered the capital, it would be impossible to attack, and it would be strictly protected when it arrived in the city, so thousands of kilometers in front of the high-speed gate, Cheng Biao and Long Si's men and horses were ambushed. Just waiting to hit Wang Tian by surprise.

"Here, Brother Long, do you see the big truck?"

What entered Cheng Biao's line of sight was a big blue truck. Ryusi shook his head. "It's not this one, it's a big brown-gray truck."

"Oh."

Cheng Biao nodded.

……

Wang Tian deliberately paid attention to it, and was catching a glimpse of these two guys outside the car window, and brought a large group of people to intercept him.

Wang Tian snorted. "It turned out to be the two of them!"

Wanzu made a sound of admiration on the side. "Mr. Wang. Or did you think about it and changed cars with that big brother. ”

Wang Tian smiled. "That's for sure, they didn't chase us, they will definitely try to stop us. The eldest brother got my benefit fee, and I told him to go back the way he came, and find another way, and he didn't suffer. ”

"In short, these two guys couldn't have imagined. Let's finish a trick of changing the tanuki for the prince. ”

Wangan also gave a thumbs up, this move was simply amazing.

And kilometers away. Cheng Biao and Long Si were still waiting stupidly, but the brown-gray truck was not seen at all. After Cheng Biao and Long Sigan waited for more than two hours, they felt that they had been tricked.

At the highway gate, Li Shao of the Palace Museum in Beijing was already waiting.

He is a management cadre of the Beijing Museum, and he was instructed by Director Liu Zongqing to come here to pick up friends who came all the way from the island city.

Li Shao brought a large group of people, not only the armed police, but also several security guards from the Beijing Museum.

In front of their neat team and fully armed combat effectiveness, Wang Tian and the Wan brothers had a sense of security about the treasure.

At least, those grandsons don't dare to go wild.

Li Shao is in his thirties, nearly 1.8 meters tall, he looks very energetic in a suit, and his national face is very in line with the appearance of a national cadre.

Li Shao came enthusiastically, although he didn't know much about this young man in his twenties, but he was able to recover China's national treasure from Southeast Asian countries at a young age, and Li Shao knew that he must be worth a lot of money.

The power of the consortium cannot be ignored, especially in a country like China, and there is no harm in making good friends with some of these large consortiums.

Li Shao introduced himself. "Hello, I'm Li Shao, the manager of the Beijing Museum, and Director Liu Zongqing specially ordered me to come and pick you up, nothing happened along the way, right?"

Wang Tian replied politely. "Brother Li, I'm Wang Tian. Fortunately, nothing happened along the way, otherwise I don't think I would have been able to bring this relic pagoda to the museum. ”

Li Shaodao. "Yes, like the heavy treasure you mentioned, there must be a lot of people coveting it, let's hurry up and take the treasure to a safe place."

"Aren't we going straight to the museum?" Wangan leaned in and asked.

Li Shao's expression was slightly stunned, as if there was something unspeakable.

Wang Tian asked curiously. "What's the matter, Brother Li, I may not be able to stay in Beijing for too long this time, so I wonder if the exhibition can be implemented as soon as possible."

Why didn't Li Shao want to hold an exhibition and present this national treasure to the people of the whole country, which is the honor of the Chinese. But Li Shao is aware of a practical difficulty that the Beijing Museum is currently facing.

Because the Palace Museum was built in the Ming Dynasty, it is the court of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it has a history of more than 600 years, and the main body is a wooden structure.

However, under the influence of moisture and insect erosion, the wood has been damaged in a large area.

Crumbling carved beams, faded paints, and white marble covered in dirt, many have even reached the point of "death or death".

Considering that the Palace Museum is a historical and cultural heritage and must be well preserved, the Palace Museum began to be renovated two months ago.

And the repair work will last at least half a year.

In order to ensure the quality of the project, the Forbidden City also invited a special supervision company to check the project for the first time.

These supervisors are also familiar with the traditional crafts of ancient building construction, and are basically veteran carpenters, stonemasons, and painters. However, during this period, some problems were also encountered, because of the wooden structure, there are many parts involving painting and carving in the Palace Museum, and the original invited carving master was very meticulous at the beginning of the carving work, but with the weather in the capital getting drier and drier, the rain increased, which affected the process of the master's project.

In addition, in the overhaul, the art of stone carving and painting can reach the level of the Qing Dynasty as required, but there is a shortage of painting talents. The Forbidden City architectural paintings use mineral pigments and real gold, and the chemical synthetic pigments produced in China cannot be used for the maintenance of the Forbidden City, which was once called the strike of painting masters.

After Wang Tian heard about it, he was actually very interested in going to see the renovation work of the Forbidden City Museum, and seeing that Wang Tian was so interested, Li Shao didn't say anything else.

Promised to take Wang Tian to see it!

The Palace Museum,

The noon gate is the central axis.

At this time, what is being repaired is the project west and west of the central axis of the Forbidden City.

Wang Tian learned from the mouth of an overseer that, in fact, the Palace Museum is not as fragile as people think, and there is naturally a reason why it can stand for hundreds of years.

The main structure of the Forbidden City is made of wood, and it is more important to maintain than repair the wood, and now the main structure of the main halls of the Forbidden City is very well preserved, and the wood used does not need to be replaced in the "100-year overhaul".

The key to the maintenance of these timbers is to keep them dry, and the wood without moisture is not easy to be damaged, and the management is rigorous, so that the Palace Museum rarely has man-made injuries, and the fire and insect prevention work is also in place, so the preservation of the Forbidden City is not a problem.

Removing the wood, that is the so-called "gold brick" floor.

The square bricks laid on the ground of the three major halls of the Forbidden City originated in Suzhou, and are known as "golden bricks" because of their complicated firing process, extremely long time, and after firing, they are as oily as jade, bright as a mirror, and delicate as gold.

For years, the media has reported that the firing process has been lost. But the overseer told Wang Tian that after research and experiments, he had now mastered the firing technique, and the fired bricks had been able to reach the level of square bricks laid on the floor of the three major halls.

In addition to the ground, the protection of the foundation of the Forbidden City is also very important, the foundation of the Forbidden City is made of a whole "golden brick", and poured Jiangmi soup, which is extremely hard; This is also the foundation for the Forbidden City to stand for thousands of years.

There is no problem with the ground, the main structure of wood, and the foundation, so everyone has to ask, so what is to be repaired.

The overseer then told Wang Tian that the key lies in the painting on the surface of the building, and how to preserve it forever is a difficult problem in the restoration work.

Such extremely exquisite stone carvings and paintings are the masterpieces of the ancient masters, and now there are fewer and fewer talents in this area, and the ability to copy is not strong, so it is difficult to carry out the repair work.

At this point, Wang Tian also realized where the main difficulties of the repair work were.

"Okay, Wang Tian, you have also seen the current situation of the Forbidden City Museum. The renovation work is not something that can be completed in a while, I mean, you just stay in the capital for a while. We also sent the relics to a professional appreciation institution, systematically and comprehensively appreciated it, estimated its value, and explained it to the masters of the collection in the capital when it was exhibited. ”

Li Shao is right, since he is the manager of the museum, with the hat of the museum, Wang Tian is not afraid of what Li Shao will do with the treasures.

Wang Tiandao. "It's no problem to appreciate it, and I want to thank Brother Li."

"Ha Luha, now, do you want to follow me to see Director Liu Zongqing, he really wants to meet you!" Li Shao was very enthusiastic, and Wang Tian was somewhat flattered in his heart.

One of the purposes of my visit this time is to get to know the bigwigs in the capital. Wang Tian said with a smile. "Curator Liu is so busy, his old man is willing to take the time to see me, I can't ask for it!"

"Then let's go!" (To be continued......)
