The next day, it was a good day selected by Lu Shanchang, saying that it was an auspicious day for the opening of the zodiac, so Zhao Guangyuan's "Qiya Antique Shop" opened in this way.

Firecrackers are no longer allowed in the city, but in order to create an atmosphere, Lin Zhaoxia still asked a flower shop to make a celebratory flower basket.

I thought that only her flower basket would be very deserted, but not only Zhang Yiqiu sent it, but Zhang's father also sent it, lined up in two columns at the door of the store, almost blocking the door next door, looking quite spectacular, not deserted at all.

The store has not recruited a clerk yet, only Lu Shanchang, the store manager, Zhao Guangyuan and Lin Zhaoxia are not at ease.

Although Lu Shanchang said that he had been raiding for a few days and barely adapted to life here, he would still be uneasy when he went out alone.

It's good that there are traffic lights, he can follow the flow of people, but when he gets to the zebra crossing, although it is now all cars and people, he still dare not move forward.

always felt that the cars on both sides would crash into him in the next second.

Walking in the middle, you can close your eyes in fright.

How can Zhao Guangyuan and Lin Zhaoxia rest assured that he would go out alone.

Although he is now quite proficient in using his mobile phone, can watch videos, send WeChat, make phone calls, and knows how to use payment tools, can buy things from the Internet alone, and starve alone in the store, he can't stay in the store all the time without going out.

And he only recognized some of the words here, and the tone of his speech has not completely changed. Worried that he would encounter various situations, Lin Zhaoxia decided to stay in the store for a while.

The opening of the new store is close to the Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day, and the antique shop is very lively. People who came to shop were interested in the newly opened store, and many people gathered around to visit.

Zhao Guangyuan and Lu Shanchang, the two have never done business, so they don't know how to attract customers.

Standing in the store with crossed hands, straight and straight.

The two have unique temperaments, different from ordinary people, and the guests who come in all glance at them.

I just think they are a good match for this antique shop. Especially the man who tied his hair in a bun has an outstanding temperament, as if he came down from an ancient painting.

Seeing that the two of them were upright and didn't speak, Lin Zhaoxia had no choice but to come by herself. "Welcome, guests look at it casually. Today, our store is newly opened, and the whole store is 20% off. ”

Lin Zhaoxia greeted the guests while signaling to Zhao Guangyuan and Lu Shanchang, why are you stupid, come up and say hello.

The two of them received it, but their feet just didn't move for half a minute. However, the two of them are good-looking, but they have attracted a lot of female customers to the store.

"If you have anything you like, you can ask our two store managers, they have a decent eyesight and are very familiar with the ancient paintings, ancient books and antiques in the store."

Lin Zhaoxia said with a dry mouth, and seeing that they didn't move, he stepped forward and stepped on Zhao Guangyuan fiercely.

Zhao Guangyuan and Lu Shanchang followed her example and walked towards the guests.

"Do you like this picture? Then you have a good eye. This is a landscape painting made by Jiang Xiang, the crown prince of the Qi Dynasty a thousand years ago, with delicate brushwork......"

"More than a thousand years ago? Qi Dynasty? Which dynasty is the Qi dynasty? The guest was stunned.

Belch......

Lu Shanchang looked at Zhao Guangyuan, and Zhao Guangyuan went to see Lin Zhaoxia again.

Lin Zhaoxia resigned himself to his fate and walked over and smiled at the guest: "This painting was indeed made by the ancients thousands of years ago, as for the Qi Dynasty, I haven't heard of it normally." Many dynasties have been lost to the dust and smoke of history. Sometimes just because it's not written in the history books doesn't mean they don't exist. ”

"You just look at the payment here......"

Lin Zhaoxia gave the guest a magnifying glass, "Although the ancients also faked, they didn't dare to fabricate their identities at will. Not only will the people be beheaded, but the clan will be dragged to be beheaded. The official seal of this young master cannot be faked. ”

The guests were thoughtful.

Staring at Jiang Xiang's painting, the more I looked at it, the more I liked it, "But this doesn't look like something from a thousand years ago." ”

Zhao Guangyuan walked over with a smile, "It seems that you are also an expert." ”

The guest smiled, "I'm not a connoisseur, but I like ancient paintings, and if I see more, I know some Taoism." If it is an ancient painting, the painting paper will be weathered into a smooth paddle after the overlapping of the years, but where do you have it? ”

"You're right. But you only know one thing. You say that you like ancient paintings, and you have seen and bought many of them, then you should know that the painting paper of each dynasty is different. The process is different, the paper stock is different. ”

The guest nodded, looking at Zhao Guangyuan, and there was a sense of trust.

"Look at this paper, it is a cotton and linen paper mixed with cotton and linen, and it is a unique paper product of the Qi Dynasty. Because the craftsmanship was not good at that time, unlike later generations, a lot of high-quality painting paper was produced in various dynasties. This kind of cotton and linen paper, if you look closely, its color is gray and white, and it is a little yellow, the paper surface is very uneven, and it has a concave and convex feeling to the touch......"

The guest got his permission, touched it, and sure enough, as Zhao Guangyuan said, there was a sense of concave and convex, which was definite with the naked eye.

"So this kind of drawing paper can't do a lot of delicate drawing. Most of the paintings of the Qi Dynasty are rough, with thick lines and large openings and closings. However, this Jiang Shaofu created a new way of painting, and his paintings were more detailed than others, and he was famous in the Qi Dynasty. I also have some other paintings by famous Qi Dynasty artists here, including Tanhualang's, Erjia Jinshi's, and Wenyuange's bachelor's paintings, you can compare and see. ”

The guest was very interested and hurriedly asked Zhao Guangyuan to take it out.

When the other customers in the store saw it, they also crowded over to the painting cabinet.

The painting cabinet was immediately crowded.

As a result, people outside came to see the opening of the new store and wanted to come to join in the fun, but when they saw this scene, they also squeezed in, for fear of missing it.

This antique street, the rent is notoriously expensive, dare to open a shop here, there is nothing to order, I am afraid that I dare not open. As a result, more and more people poured in.

As a result, when the store closed at night, a lot of things were sold, and the best ones were the paintings that Jiang Wentao asked someone to paint.

Lin Zhaoxia listened to the introductions of Zhao Guangyuan and Lu Shanchang to the guests today, and gained a lot of insight.

Comparing the ancient paintings before the Qi Dynasty with the paintings of the Qi Dynasty, "This painting paper is different, the paintings of the Qi Dynasty are said to be a thousand years ago, but there are some things missing." ”

Zhao Guangyuan nodded, "Yes, there are fewer traces of time." ”

"Then will there be a problem if we sell ancient paintings from thousands of years ago?"

"No, it won't. First of all, it is indeed a thousand years ago, although the drawing paper is missing the paddles, but it is not the paper that can be dyed with those dyes in modern fashion. Now it's hard to find this kind of cotton and linen. The cotton and linen paper of the Qi Dynasty, with the progress of society, the craft has been lost, not to mention modern, even the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties after Qi can not be made. ”

Lu Shanchang also nodded, "That's true." And these paintings collected by Guangyuan are full of ancient meaning, and modern fakes can't be depicted at all, without the state of mind of the ancients, and they can't come out of this kind of charm. You can't draw even if you copy it. ”

"Yes. The main thing is that the drawing paper is not the same. Even the best drawing paper of the Qi Dynasty cannot be compared with later generations. The uneven surface of this paper tests the artist's mentality and skills, and no matter how real it is imitated by later generations, it is in vain without raw materials. No matter how much you copy the fake painting paper, you can't copy the mood and charm that the Qi Dynasty painter wants to express. ”

Zhao Guangyuan smiled at Lin Zhaoxia and reassured her.

"And we're not selling it expensive."

Jiang Xiang's painting was only sold at a price of 380,000 yuan, which was bought by that guest, and it is the most expensive one sold today.

It is much cheaper than the ancient paintings that he has learned, which are often millions of dollars and difficult to find. Jiang Xiang wants to know this gap, and if he doesn't want to jump up and scold him.

And Jiang Wentao's other people's paintings are lower than Jiang Xiang's price, and they are not expensive.

Lu Shanchang also reassured Lin Zhaoxia, "First of all, we are indeed a thousand years ago, and the painters are all people with status, and the seals are all exquisite, and it is not cost-effective to sell less." Moreover, you see that we sell so many antiques, although a large part of them are from the Daqi counterfeiting workshop, but compared to the present, they are also antiquities. ”

Modern counterfeiting techniques do not imitate the artificial processes of a thousand years ago.

Even if others think that there is no trace of time, the unique craftsmanship of each dynasty cannot be imitated by later generations.

Lin Zhaoxia is mainly afraid that the guests will regret it when they buy it and go home, and then come over to make trouble, she is most afraid of dealing with these things. But now that I heard them say this, I was much more relieved.

It has been picked up by Lin Zhaoxia to the store after school.

At first, he listened quietly, and did not interject, and he did not understand, but he did not walk away, he liked to listen. was sitting obediently next to his mother. Now that everyone is finished, he urged his mother, "Mother, let's see how much you sell and how much you earn?" ”

He's in a hurry. Until now, his eyes are full of money.

If he makes money, he will ask his father to buy delicious food in a while!

As soon as he said this, Zhao Guangyuan and Lu Shanchang both looked at Lin Zhaoxia eagerly.

Speaking of this, Lin Zhaoxia was also excited, "I originally thought that to open an antique shop, you have to keep the loneliness, others often say that you don't open for three years, and you can eat for three years." It can be seen that antique shops do not have business every day. ”

But I really didn't expect that on the first day of opening, business would be so good!

Four paintings and five antiques were sold! Selling price......

Jiang Xiang's paintings were sold for 380,000 yuan, and Jiang Wentao's paintings were also sold for 350,000 yuan as a flower explorer. The other two are also around 200,000. Five antiques, because they were bought by a counterfeiting workshop, were collected in one or two pieces, and Zhao Guangyuan didn't sell them for a high price, one or two thousand three hundred yuan, so he offered ten times the price, ten thousand yuan a piece, and sold five pieces.

It adds up to ...... One million two hundred and twenty thousand!

Oh, my God! On this day, I earned 1.21 million! Lin Zhaoxia was stunned. Changzhi jumped up even more happily. Daddy made money!

But when he looked at Zhao Guangyuan, he didn't look very happy.

One million two hundred and twenty-one thousand, exchanged for the silver of Daqi...... Calculate it in your heart...... It's just that he earned more than nine hundred taels.

"I didn't even earn a thousand taels a day."

Thinking of the Dongsheng pawnshop on the road night, Rijin made money, and couldn't help frowning.

Lu Shanchang was also very happy, but when he heard Zhao Guangyuan say this, he was also a little unhappy.

The army is a soldier with a big head, and he eats and drinks, armor, weapons, horses, horse forage, and all kinds of military supplies...... There are 300,000 soldiers and horses in Hangu Pass, and the imperial court allocates military expenses and grain grass every year, adding up to nearly 15 million taels.

Guangyuan wants to recruit troops and horses, only according to the number of 100,000 people, and he needs to prepare 5 million taels a year.

Five million taels of silver is converted into money here, which is ......

"Sixty-five billion!"

He had already used the multiplication he had just learned to do the math, and when he finished counting the zeros he had memorized, he was so shocked that the pen in his hand almost fell.

Lin Zhaoxia was also shocked. 6.5 billion, is this a number that she can look up to as a social animal and a social animal with an unstable job?

And that's just for a year. Eat money?

"Mother, isn't it a lot?" I only know that there are many, many zeros, but I don't know what kind of number it is.

Zhao Guangyuan frowned deeply, five million taels of silver, even if there are 10,000 soldiers and horses, the silver for raising soldiers will be at least 500,000 taels! Even if you earn a thousand taels a day, it will take nearly a year and a half.

Eyes on Changzhi, looking at him deeply.

Therefore, when he went to dig the underground palace of his ancestors, he was really short of silver. There are 300,000 troops in Hangu Pass, and the annual cost of grain grass plus military expenditure is more than 15 million taels. The grain grass is broken, and it has to be purchased from other places at a higher price, and the cost is even more expensive.

"Dad, why do you think so much about Changzhi?"

Zhao Guangyuan retracted his expression and smiled at him, "Dad is happy, we have only been in school for less than a month, and the arithmetic is so powerful." ”

Chang Zhi tilted his head slightly, his expression proud.

"That's so powerful, your uncle said that he just taught you the interpretation of the poems, you have memorized them, and your father thinks you will be able to learn the three-character scripture this month, right? At that time, it took Dad a month to memorize the three-character scripture upside down, and he also recognized all the words, so long that he must be better than Dad, right? ”

Chang Zhixiao's brows furrowed, feeling that his father was embarrassing him.

"Your uncle is three days ahead of your father. And Daddy hasn't grown up here yet. It must be as powerful as an uncle. ”

After thinking about it, it's not, there are no such conditions on the side of Daqi, and this side is much stronger than Daqi.

patted his chest and promised: "Then I'm like my uncle, I learned it three days early." Changzhi is better than Uncle, so Changzhi decided to be one day earlier than Uncle! ”

"Good son, awesome! Daddy is happy. ”

Lu Shanchang was stunned. This guy isn't there, right? Want Jackie Chan to become like this? Is this a real father?

Looking at Lin Zhaoxia again, he couldn't bear to look at it directly, and he was used to it in shock.

Lu Shanchang didn't want to look at him, so he turned his head and talked to Lin Zhaoxia, mainly thinking about how to make the reputation of the store bigger and help his cousin make more money.

Chang Zhi was very interested in these, and sat next to his mother, listening with relish.

But Zhao Guangyuan was distressed.

It seems that we still have to find more ways and more channels to make money. Otherwise, if you recruit soldiers and horses, but you can't afford to raise them, do you really want to learn from Lu Changyu to dig the ancestral grave?

No, no, no, he can't do that.

I couldn't help but stare at it again.

That Lu Changyu did not grow up in the Zhao family, and was raised by the old Lu family who regarded the Zhao family as an enemy, and finally even the surname Zhao was skimmed, and digging graves can be done without burden, but he is different.

Although he hated his father, his grandfather loved him. The ancestors, although they have never seen him, but because of them, there is him.

He couldn't do that kind of thing.

And now it's as long as ......

Zhao Guangyuan looked at him with some joy. Although this child did not grow up in the Zhao family, he knew him and had him to teach, so he should not do those deviant things.

It seems that on the one hand, it is necessary to make money, and on the other hand, it is necessary to continue to strengthen the education of his son.
