In the box is a piece of jadeite rough that has been polished a little shell, and the jadeite under the shell shows the green color that only spring leaves have. In the crystal clear, there is a little white cotton, like snow at sunset. It is the snowflake cotton that later generations regarded as one of the jadeite germplasm symbols!

This green color is extremely sweet and pure. The night no light next to him was also stunned. Araki said: "This piece of jade ore is one of the best ores I have collected in Myanmar!" If it weren't for the fact that the outer shell of the stone was not destroyed when it was collected, the inside would not be observed. It's impossible for me to stay. This leather shell was slowly sharpened by me later. ”

Yu Sheng asked, "Which mine does this ore come from?" ”

"I don't know! The origin of this stone can be transliterated as Mune. There are no well-known mines here. I suspect that there is a deposit of high-quality jadeite that has not yet been discovered. ”

The origin of the minerals is roughly the same as the rest of my life guessed. The large-scale exploitation of this open area of Muna was in the fifties. The jadeite in this open is of extremely high quality. Occasionally, jadeite ores with green glass and green on high ice will appear. In addition, most of the jadeite produced by the open wood has snowflake cotton. Just like the description of the open jade of Mu Na in later generations - the beginning of chaos, the sea and the sky are the same color, a little snowflake, and Mu Na Supreme.

These collections of Araki Juren really surprised the rest of my life. If calculated according to the value of later generations, his collection is enough to buy a controlling stake in two ordinary listed companies. But in this day and age......

After Yu Sheng saw the jade in the box, he said to Araki Juren: "The rest of the ore is just ore. Although I have a hobby, it is not really valuable. But that ruby cluster and this rough jadeite, which is probably full of green, are indeed treasures. Please also ask Mr. Araki to quote a price. ”

Araki thought about it for a long time, but he didn't quote the price. If in the heyday, there were not many things in the world, he could naturally quote whatever price he wanted. The other party loves to buy or not, anyway, they don't have to worry about selling. But now that it can't be sold, the whole family will starve to death. The offer is too high, and I am afraid that the rest of my life will be gone, and the next buyer will not know what year and month it will be waiting for. The offer is too low, I'm afraid it won't be enough to eat. Moreover, except for setting up a stall on the black market recently, Araki has never done business before, so he really doesn't know how to handle the price of quotation. After thinking about it, he still gave up the initiative to the rest of his life.

"Sir. It's better for you to quote a price. The Chinese have a saying that gold is priceless and jade is priceless, and the value of these things depends on the quotation of the gentleman. ”

Yu Sheng smiled, did not shirk, and said to Araki Juren: "You two stones, one for a truckload of white noodles." What do you think? ”

Araki Juren was shocked when he heard Yu Sheng's offer, but Araki Juren's family, who was hiding next to him and eavesdropping, cheered excitedly. Although two truckloads of white noodles are only enough for this old snack for two years. But. If these white noodles are exchanged for coarse grains, it is enough for the family to last for five or six years.

Although Araki Juren knew that two carts of white flour were far from worth the value of these two stones, he even sold them to others. It may not be as high as the rest of your life. In this era when people are starving to death every day in Tokyo, the price given for the rest of their lives is already sky-high. At the urging of the whole family, Araki didn't think much about it. So he agreed.

However, Araki has his own cleverness. He knew the truth of his guilt and took the initiative to ask for the rest of his life to be paid in installments. If you want to bring two truckloads of white noodles for the rest of your life now. I don't know how many hungry people will covet it. He, a disabled veteran, is not absolutely sure that he can protect his family and his own food.

Yu Sheng gladly agreed. And signed a contract with Araki Juren very happily. After signing the contract, he very generously invited Araki Juren's family to dinner. The Japanese of this era, the poor jingle bells, the chocolates produced in the United States, the bread and spams for American GIs, were all luxury goods for them. Although the Japanese are not very fond of white noodles. My favorite is the rice dumplings. However, now that supplies are extremely scarce, they can't take care of it.

The things that the rest of his life brought were almost eaten up by the Araki family. This is also the result of a few adults who have self-control and know that after a long period of hunger, it is not appropriate to overeat, and deliberately restrain themselves and a few children. During the dinner, Araki and Yu Sheng talked about the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

Araki said: "I know that Chinese today do not have a good impression of the Japanese, and of course, the Japanese do not have a good feeling for the Chinese. Many Japanese who have not been to the front line believe that they were defeated by the Americans, not the Chinese. Therefore, I am very unconvinced that China has become the victorious country and Japan has become the defeated country. However, I know that the Chinese are not as simple as many Japanese think. ”

For the first time in his life, he met a Japanese civilian who was willing to face history, and his interest increased: "Oh? Why? ”

"Because I came back from the front line. At that time, we easily defeated the British stationed in Burma. In terms of equipment, we are actually similar to the British, and in terms of supplies, we are not as good as the British. Not to mention the retreat and precariousness of the British in the European theater, the troops stationed in Burma were only a part. We were also on an expedition of labourers, and the number of men was about the same as that of the British, and even the British could draw men from India. ”

"However, the will of the British to fight is clearly far worse than ours. The British 1st Division of the Burmese Army was easily besieged by us, and did not even have the ability to fight back and break through. ”

"The really hard bone to gnaw is the Chinese who are equipped with American-style equipment. Chinese's will to fight seems to be far stronger than that of the British. I am aware of the gradual fall of modern China since 1840 and the gradual plundering of the Chinese by Japan since the Sino-Japanese War. I found a very strange phenomenon -- it seems that every time there is a crisis, the evolution of the Chinese will be accelerated. That's right, it's evolution! ”

"War seems impossible to be fatal to China's vast organism. After the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, after hundreds of years of strife, the weak all died, leaving only the strong. So you have the invincible Qin Empire. With the prosperity of the Qin and Han dynasties. After hundreds of years of chaos, all the old guards have been eliminated, so you have a strong and unparalleled Tang Dynasty. This cycle continues, and you Chinese have the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty again. It seems like every time you are invaded by a foreign race. What it brings is only evolution and strength. ”

"Even this time! Even when the Japanese military department had been planning carefully for decades, thinking that it would only take three months to destroy China, you still survived. Moreover, it is getting stronger and stronger the more you fight. This century-old war seems to have allowed the Chinese to quickly adapt to modern civilization and forms of warfare. At the end of the war, you were once again a world-class power on an equal footing with the United States and Great Britain. ”

"This rate of evolution is astonishing to others. I have to sigh at the super adaptability of the Chinese. In the future, China will inevitably prosper, and it can be traced back to the history of this century-old war. ”

The rest of his life knew that the Chinese Expeditionary Force was actually extremely hard to go to Burma. According to post-war statistics, only when crossing the Savage Mountains. More than 30,000 people died in the primeval forest. Even in the field hospital, only five female nurses with rich medical knowledge walked out of the Savage Mountain.

In the first expedition, China dispatched more than 103,000 expeditionary forces and suffered more than 56,000 casualties. The British army suffered more than 13,000 casualties, and the Japanese suffered more than 45,000 casualties. In the second expedition, the Chinese troops in India suffered more than 18,000 casualties, the expeditionary force suffered more than 40,000 casualties, and nearly 50,000 Japanese troops were annihilated.

Counting from the entry of the Chinese army into Burma. The war between China and Burma and India lasted three years and three months, and China invested a total of 400,000 troops, with a total of nearly 200,000 casualties.

However, from the perspective of the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War, the Chinese Expeditionary Force's dispatch to Burma was a rare beautiful battle. He thought that the bombed and crippled Araki Juhito hated the Chinese. Unexpectedly, this ugly cripple actually said such thorough words. There is even a bit of wisdom that can see through the future. At this point, the rest of his life began to pay attention to the cripple of Araki Juhito.

After some small talk. Yu Sheng returned to his lodgings with a few boxes of gems. His residence was one of the best-preserved Japanese-style buildings specially granted to him by MacArthur during the bombing of Tokyo. Of course, the rest of your life can't be in vain. I wrote a check and bought this house, which is said to have a history of more than 100 years.

After these boxes of rough jewelry were sent back to the house, the happiest was Qing Xiaoyi. Although Qing Xiaoyi is also a descendant of Aixinjue Luo, she has been with Yu Sheng for a few years, and after staying in Lao Mei's territory for a long time, her aesthetic vision is obviously much stronger than her ancestors.

The light blue glowing glass jadeite is very much liked by her, and the cluster of rubies has been measured and measured by Qing Xiaoyi with vernier calipers. Start thinking about what kind of necklace to set in. A woman's resistance to jewelry, especially jewelry with bright colors and crystal clarity, is simply negative. These boxes of rough jewelry were collected by Qing Xiaoyi in a cherished manner. Only a small piece of lilac glass jadeite with a very thin skin shell was left for daily play.

Such a pleasant pick-up is naturally impossible to do only once. Tokyo now has more than one black market. For the rest of my life, I don't plan to spend the rest of my life in Tokyo only doing this kind of healthy spillage activity. With MacArthur's acquiescence and the support of American GIs. Ye Wuguang took a group of Manchu relics and young people, driving a truck carrying grain, and visited the major cities and villages of Japan. Anyway, Japan is not big, and the bombing by the Americans did not target the streets of Japan, and this group of people who picked up leaks, sat in trucks, and almost brushed the map of Japan from beginning to end.

Along the way, there were more than a dozen truckloads of antiques exchanged for grain. These antiques were registered by Yu Sheng and Qing Xiaoyi, and after enjoying them one by one, they were shipped to Australia. At this time, the thirty-six children adopted for the rest of their lives have all grown up, and a few people who have shared the hardships and hardships of the night and the young artists have also married wives and children in Australia and settled down. At the same time, large houses and warehouses were built, and according to the instructions of the rest of his life, he began to operate ocean shipping.

Most of the ranches that Yu Sheng bought back then have also obtained exploration and mining rights, and this group of people is gradually exploring. These Chinese antiques collected from Japan are transported to Australia without risk. Although these things were not suitable for being sent back to China at this time, they always remained in the hands of the Chinese, ten thousand times stronger than in the hands of the Japanese.

And among these things, there is no shortage of high-quality products. In addition to some interesting but not very valuable cricket jars and the like, there are also some rare antiquities. After the identification of a group of Manchu relics, several porcelain boutiques were selected from this batch of antiques, including Ru, Guan, Ge, Ding, and Jun. Yuan Qinghua had to stand back. At that time, Yu Sheng and Qing Xiaoyi, in the jumping market in the United States, picked up a piece of Yuan blue and white and a piece of pastel porcelain, and they were very excited, which definitely belonged to the behavior of turtles. If it weren't for the support of the night pearl that was accidentally discovered, Yu Sheng and Qing Xiaoyi would have to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Among them, there is a porcelain vase, which is even believed by this group of old experts to be the white porcelain of the Xing kiln of the Tang Dynasty. The rest of his life expressed disbelief. One of the Manchu widows said: "In fact, for thousands of years in China, the place where the most cultural relics have been preserved is by no means China itself, but overseas." ”

"Oh?"

"Let's not talk about the things before the Manchus entered the customs, let's just say that after the Manchus entered the customs, in the hundreds of years of accumulation, I love the Xinjue Luo clan, and almost all the treasures in the world are collected and hidden in the palace and the Old Summer Palace. As a result, by the time the British and French entered Beijing, the British and French had not yet swept them all away, the scourge of the scourge, and the scourge of the snatch! ”

"If you go further, the Yuan Dynasty also collected the treasures of the world in Dadu, and when these people left Dadu and returned to the Mongolian steppe, they burned Dadu to the ground. Further back, the Song Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Qin and Han dynasties, which dynasty was not like this. Gather elites in one place, but when the dynasty overthrows, let the most quintessential things fall with the dynasty. ”

In contrast, the scale of the war was much smaller than that of the Chinese. Even in its Warring States Period, when dozens of people attacked a large courtyard, no matter how tragic it was, how destructive could it be. What's more, in the history of Japan, the emperor was in name only, and there were too many times when he was used as a puppet. There is simply no ability to concentrate the power of the whole country. Although, thousands of years of inheritance, there is no worry of extinction at all. ”

"Besides, when this country was in the Tang Dynasty, there were countless Tang envoys who came to China to study, and it was really normal to keep some ancient objects. Even, in the countries of the South Seas, and even in Africa, there are well-preserved Chinese antiques, which come out from time to time. These things have completely disappeared in China.
