"Second brother, is this copper incense burner very valuable?" You Zhipei pointed to the copper incense burner in Mr. Zhang's hand and asked me.

"Well, it's very valuable," I nodded heavily and replied to You Zhipei.

"There are very few Xuande furnaces handed down from generation to generation, and the price is astronomical, very expensive. Now the thrift market or antique shop, you can see the Xuande furnace of the "Xuande year system of the Ming Dynasty", most of the Xuande furnace that appeared in later generations are imitations, in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, there are more imitations of Xuande furnace in the late Qing Dynasty. Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty liked antiques, and even he had a hard time collecting genuine Xuande furnaces, which can be seen how precious this Xuande furnace was. The Xuande furnace in my hand should be genuine," Mr. Zhang pointed to the Xuande furnace in his hand and explained to You Zhipei.

"Teacher Zhang, why is the Xuande furnace so expensive" I asked Teacher Zhang with a puzzled face, I don't think this Xuande furnace is anything special.

During the reign of Emperor Xuande of the Ming Dynasty, in order to satisfy the hobby of playing with the incense burner, he ordered the import of a batch of red copper from Siam, and instructed the imperial craftsman Lu Zhen and the Ministry of Industry to design and supervise the incense burner with reference to the styles of firewood kilns, Ru kilns, official kilns, Ge kilns, Jun kilns, and famous porcelain in the imperial palace, as well as historical books such as "Xuanhe Bogu Catalogue" and "Archaeological Map". In order to ensure the quality of the incense burner, Lu Zhen trembled and told the emperor that if he wanted to make a good incense burner, the copper had to be refined six times. After refining once, less, after six times, only half of the raw materials will be left. Emperor Xuande was rich and wealthy, and he immediately ordered that the number of refining should not only not be reduced, but also doubled (refining twelve times), and added precious metals such as gold and silver. So the craftsmen selected dozens of precious metals such as gold and silver, and carefully cast them together with red copper more than ten times. After great efforts, three years after Xuande, the best copper incense burner was finally successfully produced. This batch of red copper cast a total of 3,000 incense burners, never produced again, Emperor Xuande saw this batch of incense burners that he personally asked, each one is abnormal in atmosphere, full of treasure, very sense of achievement. Most of these incense burners were displayed in various parts of the court, and a small part was also rewarded and distributed to the emperor's relatives, prominent ministers and temples with large scale and flourishing incense. These Xuande furnaces are only known by ordinary people, but not by their shape. After hundreds of years of ups and downs, the copper incense burner cast in three years of real Xuande is extremely rare. Teacher Zhang explained to me.

"Then can this copper furnace be sold for a million," You Zhipei asked, pointing to the Xuande furnace in Mr. Zhang's hand.

"The imitation Xuande furnace in the Qianlong period can be auctioned for two or three million, and it should be no problem for this genuine Xuande furnace to shoot for eighteen million," Teacher Zhang said casually to You Zhipei.

"My, my, my God" You Zhipei looked at the Xuande furnace in Mr. Zhang's hand in disbelief and shouted in surprise, after listening to Mr. Zhang's words, even I was dumbfounded standing aside, I only knew that this Xuande furnace was very valuable, but I didn't expect it to be worth tens of thousands of million.

"Teacher Zhang, why don't the three of us take this copper furnace out and sell it, and then you will share fifty percent, me and my second brother will share fifty percent, with this money, you don't want to be a teacher, it's very hard to manage us ignorant children every day, you spend two million to buy a small villa by the river, and then marry a little wife to give you a big fat boy" You Zhipei looked at the Xuande furnace in Teacher Zhang's hand and said with a serious face, You Zhipei said to Teacher Zhang that he was not joking at all. Hearing You Zhipei's words, I couldn't help but want to laugh, and Mr. Zhang was so angry that his face turned black when he heard You Zhipei's words.

"Teacher Zhang, you are talking!" You Zhipei saw that Teacher Zhang didn't speak, so he asked Teacher Zhang again, and You Zhipei was a little anxious.

"You kid, don't fight the idea of this incense burner, this is the property of the state, and it should be handed over to the state" Teacher Zhang said to You Zhipei angrily and withdrew from this tomb, and then walked towards the opposite tomb.

"This Mr. Zhang doesn't get in the oil and salt, it's really dead-eyed, if I want to change it to him, I will definitely sell the stove, buy a villa by the river, marry a little wife, give birth to a big fat boy, that little day should be more moisturizing, I don't know what he thinks" You Zhipei muttered to me with a sigh on his face.

I only know that our teacher Zhang is over 60 years old this year, he has been teaching at our university for more than 40 years, and it stands to reason that Mr. Zhang should have retired a long time ago, and he was rehired by President Xie. And Mr. Zhang is still single, with no wife, no children and no daughters. It is said that Mr. Zhang's wife gave birth to a child and died in childbirth, and neither the adult nor the child was saved, and Mr. Zhang has never looked for a daughter-in-law since then, and I don't know if this rumor is true or false.

"Second brother, you persuade Mr. Zhang, don't let him hand over the stove to the state, and handing it over to the state is to give a bonus of a few hundred yuan, a certificate, what's the use of fart" You Zhipei saw that I didn't speak, and he mobilized me to discuss Teacher Zhang.

"Don't let me talk about this, you should tell Teacher Zhang yourself," I replied to You Zhipei and chased after Teacher Zhang.

"How these two people are so brainless, it's unreasonable," You Zhipei said with a helpless look at the backs of the two of us.

I followed Mr. Zhang to the door of the opposite tomb, there was nothing in this tomb, and the two of us only saw a horse skeleton placed in the center of the ground, this horse should be the war horse of the tomb owner during his lifetime, and after his death, he was buried with the owner as a burial object, and the three coffins placed on the opposite side should be the relatives of the tomb owner.

"Teacher Zhang, I think you should think about what I just said, this copper furnace was discovered by us first, and it should belong to us, otherwise, let's sell this incense burner, you take sixty percent of the money from the sale, and my second brother and I will do two per person!" You hand over this thing to the state, and the state can give you a bonus of a few hundred yuan at most, and a certificate, which I don't know at all, you also have to understand a truth, people don't destroy the world for themselves......" You Zhipei walked to Teacher Zhang's side and did Teacher Zhang's ideological work. Teacher Zhang looked around the tomb, too lazy to pay attention to You Zhipei.

"Teacher Zhang, you gave me a happy word, are you trying to kill me urgently?" You Zhipei saw that Teacher Zhang didn't speak, so he continued to ask Teacher Zhang.

"Can you kid stop for a while," Teacher Zhang couldn't bear to turn back to You Zhipei and asked.

"Yes," You Zhipei nodded in response.

"If you can, just shut your mouth for me, don't say anything, and if you talk again, get out of here" Teacher Zhang said to You Zhipei with a fire in his belly, You Zhipei saw that Teacher Zhang was really angry, and he didn't dare to speak again.

Exiting the tomb on the right, we walked to the tomb in front of us, Mr. Zhang walked to a place two meters away from the door of the tomb and stopped, Mr. Zhang took out two demon slaying charms from his pocket and put them on the ground.
