With Hu Chuyuan's weak understanding of gold and stone science and calligraphy, how can he dare to be called an academic master.

He hurriedly put down his pen and said to Yan Shizhang and Wang Yirong: "This matter has nothing to do with me, I just casually help you come up with a name, I am not a person who is greedy for vanity, I don't want such a reputation." ”

Wang Yirong sighed, and bowed to Hu Chuyuan and said: "Master Hu, your virtue and deeds are unique in the world, and you can have the style of a saint and an ancient scholar. Hu Ye, from now on, wherever you have Wang, you can just say it. ”

Hu Chuyuan smiled secretly and said, "Brother Wang is polite, if you want to talk about it, there is really something right now!" ”

Wang Yirong said: "Just say it! ”

Hu Chuyuan said with a smile: "I have discussed with Master Zuo Zongtang Zuo, and in the future, I will prepare a Jiangnan Sinology Museum to specialize in studying Sinology and the treasures left by my ancestors. At present, this Chinese culture museum has not yet been established, but the research of the oracle bone inscription has to be organized first, Mr. Yan is my staff, usually have to manage a lot of things, but this matter is very important, I want to ask you to be responsible for the study of the oracle bone inscription first, all the funds from the Jiangnan Commercial Bank. ”

"Okay!" Wang Yirong was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Wang can't ask for it, I don't know where these turtle plates are produced, can I dig a little more?" ”

Hu Chuyuan said: "These turtle plates are Chinese medicinal materials called keel, which are produced in Anyang, Henan. It is still very easy to continue to acquire the keel, because the application of this medicinal herb is very small, and the loss is not large, so it can be retained to this day. Let's not squeak, allocate a sum of money to do it secretly, and collect all the turtle boards that can be collected, so as not to rush the young people to grab them. ”

Shen Furong said with a smile: "Owner, I might as well assist Mr. Wang and Mr. Yan in this matter, and ensure that it is done properly!" ”

Hu Chuyuan thought about it cautiously again, and said to Shen Furong and Yan Shizhang: "This matter is indeed very important, we have to do it well, and we must do it meticulously and properly, and the matter of purchasing the turtle plate is still handed over to Hu Qingyutang Pharmacy to deal with." I will write a letter, you will pass it on to my fourth uncle, and ask him to take full responsibility for the purchase of the turtle plate by my cousin Hu Shiyuan, the shopkeeper Shen is responsible for adjusting the money, and Mr. Wang Yirong will ask you to be responsible for the research and sorting. ”

"Okay, it's still thoughtful!" Shen Furong and the others immediately applauded.

The matter of oracle bones really cannot be hastily handled, if the news is revealed too early, it will definitely cause a robbery, it is better to set up a pharmacy in Anyang, which is responsible for excavating and purchasing turtle plates.

On the surface, Hu Qingyutang wanted to monopolize the medicinal material that did not have a very important taste of female keel, but in fact, he secretly collected all the turtle plates and transported them to Hangzhou for proper storage and research.

At noon, Hu Chuyuan held a feast in the Hu family's compound to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Wang Yirong, and then lived with Yan Shizhang in the Cold Autumn Courtyard according to the exclusivity.

After the fourteenth aunt left, Hu Chuyuan renovated it and left it for the staff to live in, and in the future, all the turtle plates transported from the medicine store were also kept here.

Hu Chuyuan has more things to worry about, but in front of him, he still has to devote a lot of energy to the affairs of Oracle, he is not very interested, but this is a very important event after all.

For this reason, he also put down some things in his hands and ran around with Wang Yirong, Yan Shizhang, and Shen Furong in the medicine store and the Hu family compound.

On this day, as soon as the four of them brought back a batch of new turtle plates purchased by the medicine store from Henan, Wang Baotian hurriedly told Hu Chuyuan that there was a widow who wanted to see him.

Wazi is a bad word in Hangzhou, specifically referring to himself.

Since he found out that the Hu family had bought a fake Mobao from Yueben, Wang Baotian hated Yue himself so much that he didn't let that Yue himself enter the second door at all, so he stayed in the sedan hall and waited.

Hu Chuyuan and Wang Yirong had already entered the Baishi Tower, and after listening to Wang Baotian's announcement, he asked Wang Baotian to invite him in, thinking to himself, how did these people find him?

Said Ben.

Hu Chuyuan is not a bitter and bitter patriot, for him, enjoying life is as important as saving the country and strengthening the country, after all, people can only live for a lifetime, and they can't get along with themselves.

But even he has very cruel thoughts about Yuben.

Hu Chuyuan is well aware of the characteristics and history of the economy.

It was precisely because he was very familiar with it that he had a way to save the country from the chaebol, and the economic development of Yuben was based on the sharp recession of China's economy.

Since the beginning of the Meiji Restoration, he began to focus on the export of raw silk and tea, and achieved very good results around 1890, the average quality of raw silk surpassed that of China's raw silk, and the tea industry also fully adopted mechanization, gradually becoming the world's second largest exporter of raw silk and the fifth largest exporter of tea.

By 1910, it was already the world's largest exporter of raw silk, with a total annual output of 12,460 tons and a total export of 9,462 tons, accounting for 75% of the world's total exports.

At that time, almost all of the four chaebols relied on the profits earned from the export of raw silk to maintain their other industries, support heavy industry, and slowly transition into an industrial power.

War serves politics, and politics always serves the economy, and only by defeating and occupying China can the economy truly develop.

It can be said that the consensus of the entire political and economic circles is that only by stepping on the bones of China can we become a real powerhouse in this era.

In the same way, Hu Chuyuan also firmly believes that only by preserving China's silk and tea industries can China have a future, and only by stepping on the bones of the book can China achieve long-term security.

Soon, Wang Baotian led a young man in a suit in, slightly short and thin, but very energetic, his eyes shining with a sharp and unyielding light, and he didn't seem to take the luxury and wealth of the Hu family's compound into account at all.

He walked in without humility or arrogance, took out a letter from the briefcase in his hand, and asked in half-baked Chinese: "Excuse me, which one is Mr. Hu Xueyan's eldest son, Mr. Hu Chuyuan?" ”

"Me!" Hu Chuyuan replied and looked at the man carefully.

"Hello, I am Shibusawa Heito, an envoy sent by Mr. Ryuichi Takeda, the president of Tokyo Togai Society, and I have made a special trip to Hangzhou to invite Hu Fu to participate in the second public auction of Chinese antiques. Before that, I would like to convey the condolences of Mr. Ryuichi Takeda and the business community on the passing of Mr. Hu Xueyan, and hope that your government will be able to mourn and change smoothly. ”

The young man said calmly and methodically, and sent the invitation letter to Hu Chuyuan.

Hu Chuyuan opened the invitation and browsed it, and asked Shibusawa Pingdong, "Is there any more detailed information?" ”

Shibusawa Pingdong immediately took out a delicate printed book from his briefcase, handed it to Hu Chuyuan and said, "We have sorted out the information of the main one hundred and twenty-two lots here, please take a look at it!" ”

Hu Chuyuan opened this information book again, saying that he has always been very meticulous in his work, and did not let go of any details, and in order to attract Chinese businessmen to participate in the auction, their work has been done to the extent that it is not leaky.

The black-and-white photographs, information, provenance, starting price, approximate valuation of all lots in the Yanjing antique market, and the appraisal results of some well-known antique dealers in Beijing are recorded in detail in the information book.

After roughly reading the entire information book, Hu Chuyuan and Shibusawa Pingdong said: "You came from afar, all the way hard, I always have to do my landlord's friendship, so please stay in Hufu for one night first, whether you want to participate in this auction, I will give you an answer tomorrow!" ”

"Thank you very much for your hospitality, then I will wait for your good news!" Shibusawa Heidong thanked the first one.

I don't know why, Hu Chuyuan always felt that this person had a military atmosphere.

Although he really wanted to let Yue himself live in the thatched pit dedicated to the subordinates in the Hu family's compound, he was Hu Chuyuan after all, and this was Hu Mansion after all, a place with rules and manners.

He and Wang Baotian instructed: "Arrange for Mr. Shibusawa to stay in Suochun Courtyard, and entertain him properly." ”

Wang Baotian also hated it, he lost tens of thousands of foreign yuan last time, but Hu Chuyuan had already ordered it, so he could only do it.

When Wang Baotian led Shibusawa Pingdong away, Hu Chuyuan handed over the information book to Wang Yirong and asked them to consider it carefully.
