Although the words on it were painted, and although the original color could no longer be seen on the cover, Zhu Yu still knew with certainty that it was the thing he was thinking.

In the eyes of heaven, this booklet is almost 700 years old. At least from the Ming Dynasty.

Although the characters on the surface of the booklet and the silk wrapped in it have been destroyed, the shape has not changed.

Slowly open the book and see the upright font inside, this should be the so-called pavilion style, right?

At this time, the answer is about to come out!

"Yongle Ceremony"!

When it comes to ancient Chinese books, Zhu Yu remembers the two sets of integrations most clearly, one is the "Yongle Canon", and the other is the "Siku Quanshu".

Both sets of books are the culmination of Chinese culture, but the former is a summary, and the latter is destruction.

There are a lot of things in between, so I won't talk about them here. Anyway, in Zhu Yu's eyes, it is impossible for the descendants of Tunguska wild boar skins to really engage in cultural integration with the mentality of inheriting Chinese culture.

The Yongle Canon is one of the most famous ancient classics in China and by far the largest encyclopedia in the world.

It is far larger than all the books compiled by its predecessors, leaving many rich stories and puzzles for future generations. Compiled during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, it preserves Chinese history and geography, literature and art, philosophy and religion and encyclopedic documents before the 14th century. There are 22,937 volumes and 60 table of contents, divided into 11,095 volumes, with a total of about 370 million words.

It preserves Chinese history and geography, literature and art, philosophy and religion and other encyclopedic documents before the 14th century, which is more than 300 years earlier than the encyclopedia compiled by Diderot in France and the Encyclopædia Britannica in Britain, and can be called a treasure of world cultural heritage.

According to rough statistics, there are as many as seven or eight thousand kinds of ancient classics selected and preserved in the Yongle Grand Canon, which is five or six times the number of books such as "Art and Literature Gathering", "Taiping Yulan", and "Shufu Yuangui" in the previous generation, which is the large-scale series of books compiled in the Qing Dynasty, "Siku Quanshu", and the collection of books is only more than 3,000 kinds.

Unfortunately, it did not survive.

The existing manuscript is the Jiajing year, and the original legend is in the underground palace of the Jiajing Emperor, but it is said that the underground palace is full of water now, and the original should be gone.

The manuscript was also lost in later generations, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, due to various reasons such as self-theft by prison guards, invasion of foreign enemies, and riots of boxers.

The current situation of the Yongle Canon is 161 volumes in the National Library of China, 40 volumes in the Library of Congress, 51 volumes in the United Kingdom, 5 volumes in the University Library of Hamburg, the University of Cologne in Germany, and the Ethnographic Museum in Berlin, many in Japan (the number is unknown), and 62 volumes in the National Palace Museum in Taiwan.

The reason why Japan is unknown is because the Japanese who had a good life entered China, especially the capital, several times, led by spies and traitors, and mainly went to two places, one was the royal treasury, and the other was the place where books were kept.

So, sad it.

Roughly calculated, there are nearly 1,000 copies of this stuff all over the world, which is quite a lot.

But it's less than one-eighth of the original book!

Therefore, Zhu Yu knew that the five volumes in this box were at least in his own eyes, and they could be regarded as national treasure-level existences!

I have the surname Zhu anyway! Although the stone carving genealogy of his hometown clearly says that the ancestors are not from Zhu Yuanzhang's lineage, they have also worked from the dragon and after the general.

This thing should have a fate with my surname Zhu!

Zhu Yu teased himself for a moment, and then looked at the remaining five volumes.

It is all a hard-shell cover, with a yellow silk surface, but the words on the cover have been destroyed. There were even two that even had their hardcover covers broken.

Fortunately, although the words inside are dirty, they should be able to be repaired.

Zhu Yu remembers watching a documentary, the clumps of bamboo slips like black charcoal, archaeologists can repair them, let alone this?

A cursory look at the content inside, there are about planting, and there are also about weapon making, not under the same category.

Regarding the classification of "Yongle Canon", it seems that the rhyme angle of the time is used, which is different from the current one, so Zhu Yu doesn't understand it very well.

But it's a baby!

Closing the box, Zhu Yu felt that even if he went over to look for treasure this time, he wouldn't get anything, it would be worth it!

But you still have to do your best, after all, Hans trusts himself and has already given things to himself first, if he doesn't do his best, it will really violate the principle.

Back at the villa, Zhu Yu watched Ran Jie and Qin Fei carry the boxes into the warehouse of the villa, and then asked Ran Jie to drive the SUV away, and couldn't let the two of them walk or take a taxi back.

Out of the villa, Qin Fei whispered:

"The boss is quite generous."

"That's it." Ran Jie said proudly: "Do you know how much I earned from a few actions?" ”

"How much?" Qin Fei asked curiously.

"At least $100,000 at a time!"

"So much!" Qin Fei was taken aback, "That's dangerous, isn't it?" ”

"No, no, no." Ran Jie shook his head, "The few times I went were not dangerous. I heard that the boss went to hunt for treasure for others for the first time, and almost lost his life. ”

"Then what we're doing is a hard-working job." Thinking about 100,000 US dollars at a time, Qin Fei felt that it was worth it.

Ran Jie and Qin Fei left, and Zhu Yu directly put the small box into the space.

You can't lose this thing!

The next step is to prepare for a treasure hunt in the jungle.

Zhu Yu made a special trip to the freight yard and called Jason and the three of them together, saying that he was going to hunt for treasure this time, and let the three of them take care of their own piece.

"Bundy, you must remind your workers to wear hard hats!" Zhu Yu's tone was a little stern, "If something falls and hits his head, it will kill someone!" ”

Bundy was worried by Zhu Yu again and again, and he also put away his attitude and nodded seriously.

"Marka, don't always try to compare with the two of them. You've only just taken over this yard, and it's going to be a while before you can make as much profit as they do. Manage this well, and the profit will be better. ”

Markla nodded vigorously.

"Jason, I'll leave all three places to you." Zhu Yu finally instructed Jason, "Whoever doesn't do a good job, you have the right to expel you." But your focus should also be on this container auction house. I think now that the fame has been played, all that remains is to stabilize the customer ......"

Zhu Yu confessed a lot, including Cathy coming over to check the accounts, etc., which made them take it seriously.

Jason patted his chest and promised to manage these places well, so that Zhu Yu could rest assured.

In the end, Jason said to Zhu Yu with a shy smile:

"Boshi, I received another batch of containers, do you think it is for the checks and classification?"

Zhu Yu naturally will not shirk what is convenient.

Then he handed Cao Dalong to Jason and asked him to practice his speaking well, otherwise, he would only have to take the salary of the little blacks.

Knowing that Zhu Yu, Ran Jie, and Qin Fei had decided to go treasure hunting, Cao Dalong's expression was very frustrated, but he was also a bachelor, and he had already begun to pester Freya to speak English.

It's just that Freya obviously didn't plan to deal with him, which made Cao Dalong a little disappointed.

"Do you two have any experience in the jungle?" Zhu Yu called Ran Jie and Qin Fei to the villa and asked.

"Yes." Ran Jie and Qin Fei said in unison.

"Okay, what to procure, you make a list."

Since he had already told Hans that he would pay for the expenses of these two people, Zhu Yu did not delay and directly opened an order to buy it.

Everything has to be top-notch, and Zhu Yu doesn't want to threaten his life because of this.

The final result was that Ran Jie and Qin Fei each had a camouflage backpack.

Two days later, Hans called Zhu Yu and prepared to leave.

Hans takes Mira, an interpreter and bodyguard, and four mercenaries.

Zhu Yu took Ran Jie and Qin Fei with him, and there were nine people in this line.

The formalities were all in place, and the group flew to Brazil and then diverted to the Amazon jungle.

After the four mercenaries arrived in the Amazon jungle, they found local connections and bought guns.

Along the way, Zhu Yu also knew a little about these four people.

Captain Jensen, a white man, retired from the U.S. Army, has been a mercenary for more than a decade and has combat experience in the Middle East.

The players are Green, Wilson and Fortes. Among them, Wilson is black.

These four people are all retired soldiers, they trust each other very much, and their actions are relatively tacit.

They have their own channels to buy guns. After getting the gun, although he complained that the gun was too old, he quickly became familiar with it.

Qin Fei and Ran Jie found Zhu Yu together and asked if they could buy a gun.

After all, the mercenaries mainly protect Hans, and looking at this posture, it is obvious that it is very unsafe in the jungle.

Although the two of them are also good at fighting, if they have guns, they will naturally have a greater grasp.

Zhu Yu smiled and said to them:

"Don't worry, when we get to the jungle, I have a way."

Zhu Yu couldn't look down on the old guns in the hands of these mercenaries.

Of course, there are new guns on the black market, but the price is almost ten times that of the beautiful country!

I don't know if the budget given by Hans is not enough, or if Jensen and the others have other ideas, in short, the guns they got, Zhu Yu can see that the handguards are no longer painted.

Zhu Yu couldn't look down on it.

Hans, through Mila's translation, hired a motorized boat and sailed down the Amazon River into the jungle.

Four mercenaries guarded one in the bow, one followed the owner in the stern, and the other two protected Hans in the middle.

Ran Jie and Qin Fei were following Zhu Yu.

Jensen suddenly said to Ran Jie:

"You were soldiers? Chinese soldiers? ”

Ran Jie nodded.

"When you find a campsite, find a place to compete?"

Jensen didn't speak, and the black man Wilson said suddenly.

Ran Jie ignored him.

Wilson had to say more, but Jensen pulled him back.

Zhu Yu ignored them, he and Hans were studying the map.

The map is a few years old, and there is a red line drawn on it.

"In the beginning, we followed this line to the depths of the jungle." "When you get to the upper reaches of the river, you turn overland, pass through two tribes, and you reach the outskirts of the place," Hans explains. ”

It's easy!

Zhu Yu was a little puzzled, if he walked like this, he would reach the periphery, and even if the rest was difficult, there would not be many roads, right?

Seeing Zhu Yu's doubts, Hans said:

"Not really. That sorcerer is a sorcerer enshrined by several tribes.

The area under his jurisdiction is more than 100 square kilometers!

Searching for treasure in the jungle, in such a large area, is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. ”

As soon as he said this, Zhu Yu understood.

Let's talk about it when we get to the place.

The motorized boat traveled dozens of kilometers up the river, which was more complicated, and the upstream seemed to be flooding, causing the river to become turbid, and occasionally dead animal carcasses could be seen.

Then Zhu Yu saw the crocodile and the python in the river.

Looking at the seven or eight meter-long thing running through the river, Zhu Yu felt that this thing was the overlord in the jungle, right?

But as soon as he felt this feeling, he saw a group of fish with sharp teeth pounce on the python, and then the python seemed to have encountered a natural predator and immediately rolled in the water!

Piranha!

Of course, it may be easier for everyone to understand it by changing the name - piranha!

Although the giant python is powerful, it is not the opponent of the piranha in the water at all, and there is no way to fight back at all, so it can only roll over and swim quickly to the shore!

And the piranha has sharp teeth, and it has already bitten countless holes on the giant python's body, and the blood is flowing!

Looking at the body and tail of the giant python that appeared on the surface of the river from time to time, everyone was also shocked!

The owner of the boat was used to it, and steered the boat around the python and continued upstream.

At noon, the boat stopped at an improvised pier.

It was supposed to be a hub for the trading of several indigenous tribes, and at this time dozens of canoes were parked at the docks, and some natives with only simple clothes set up stalls on the shore or traded with stall owners in front of the stalls, mainly bartering.

Some strange fruits that I had never seen before, some animals that Zhu Yu had never thought of eating, such as bats and the like, were placed on the stall.

"Eat here at noon, add something, and I'll find a guide." Hans said to Zhu Yu, and then took Mira and went to the tribe.

Zhu Yu and Ran Jie walked around the stall, exchanged the compressed dry food they were carrying for some fruit, and returned to the boat.

Putting the fruit down, Zhu Yu took a small backpack and called Ran Jie and Qin Fei aside, and took out two submachine guns, two pistols, and some bullets from the space from inside, of course, and handed them to the two of them respectively.

This made Ran Jie and Qin Fei very surprised!

They couldn't figure out how Zhu Yu could get a gun!

After all, along the way, Zhu Yu did not leave their sight.

And naturally, you can't carry weapons on the plane!

However, the two of them were also smart, and they knew not to ask what they shouldn't ask, so they took the gun and familiarized themselves with it, and then put it away.

The next step was to go to the boat, and when Hans returned, several of them took out their own hot food and ate it.

The ship's owner looked hot, and Zhu Yu threw one over.

Anyway, there are many places in the space, and this one is not bad.

The owner happily took the self-heating hot pot, asked Zhu Yu how to eat it, and then ate it.

A short time later, Hans and the others took a dark and thin man on board.

"This is our guide, Pumiti." "I can speak a little simple English, mainly in the native language, and I can communicate with the people of the primitive tribes," Hans said. ”

The boat set off again, and when it was almost dark, we came to the shore to find a flat place, and planned to camp.

Several people brought tents, and after setting up their tents, they lit two bonfires and chatted about their plans for the next day.

There are many bugs in the jungle, and many of them are blood-sucking. Occasionally, a bat will fly over the campfire, which sounds scary.

At this time, the owner of the boat tied up the boat and walked towards Zhu Yu and them.

Walking up to Zhu Yu, the owner handed him a black plastic bottle, and then gestured.

Zhu Yu understood as soon as he heard it.

It turned out to be an anthelmintic drug.

Although it smells a little rushed, it should be fine.

He took it and thanked the owner.

The owner of the ship was happy and turned to leave.

This move surprised others.

Popiti spoke for a while, and Hans smiled and said:

"Zhu, you're very lucky. That medicine is a special deworming medicine made by local natives, and it is very effective! ”

Zhu Yu smiled, thinking that it was the effect of the box of self-heating hot pot.
