I'm not immortal

Chapter 1 I picked up a leak
"Students, I am your history teacher, Li Tong. Today is our first class, so let's chat casually."

Li Tong, deputy dean of the History Department of Jiangbei University, pushed his glasses and looked at the young and beautiful students in the audience, with a friendly smile on his wrinkled face.

Seeing that the students who entered the classroom for the first time in the university were a little cautious, and no one spoke, Li Tong smiled slightly and started a conversation.

"Let me think about it, what to talk about, just talk about the biggest historical turning point in modern times, who can summarize it?"

For the simple topic of history students, someone raised their hand immediately.

"The female student in the middle of the third row, tell me."

The girl stood up nervously, cleared her throat, thought for a while, and said, "According to historical records, the biggest turning point begins with the Ming Dynasty, the last feudal dynasty in the history of our country."

"In 1644 AD, the 276-year-old Ming Dynasty inevitably ushered in decay and destruction. In this year, the peasant uprising army led by Li Zicheng broke through the capital of the Ming Dynasty. In the same year, the Jurchens from outside the pass entered the pass."

"Compared with all the feudal dynasties before the Ming Dynasty, under such internal and external troubles, it seemed that the corrupt and incompetent Ming Dynasty ushered in its demise. Stand up."

"As if he had the help of a god, on the first day of his succession, he used iron and blood to unify the ministers of civil and military affairs, and moved the capital to Nanjing under the pressure of being reviled by all generations."

"Then, after just ten years of development, the regime known as Nanming by later generations crossed the Huaihe River, miraculously replicating the unification from south to north that only the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, achieved."

"At that time, Nanming was facing the Jurchen cavalry who were like wolves and tigers. In three years, the Jurchen tribe was once again expelled to the prairie, ending their brief rule over the north."

"In this way, the Ming Dynasty almost violated the 300-year law of feudal dynasties recognized by history. It was broken and then reestablished. It once again stood in the east of the world."

"After another 283 years, with the rise of the Industrial Revolution, the power holders of the Ming Dynasty once again showed their forward-looking vision, delegating power to the people, voluntarily giving up imperial power, and also giving up the feudal system."

"This is how China is today"

"Teacher, I'm done."

Li Tong took the lead in applauding and said, "Very good summary."

The girl sat back in embarrassment.

"Then, next, let's talk about the current geographical division. Just... the student in the fifth row with his head down, didn't he sleep well last night? Did you chat with the senior all night?"

Li Tong ordered another student with a handsome appearance and the demeanor of an ancient scholar. This student lowered his head and looked confused, not knowing what he was thinking.

Called by the teacher, he woke up like a dream, stood up, scratched his head, and asked embarrassingly: "Teacher, what did you ask just now?"

Li Tongli pointed at him, and scolded him with a smile: "You slipped away in the first class, what's your name?"

"My name is Jiang Qi, Jiang from Jiang Shang, and Qi from Wuzhi Qi." Jiang Qi replied with a low eyebrow.

Li Tong was taken aback for a moment, Jiang Qi?Isn't it the number one scholar in liberal arts in Jizhou?This kid...

"Forget it, come and answer my question just now." Li Tong's tone also eased, as a top scholar in liberal arts, there is still some preferential treatment.

Jiang Qi was still a little dazed, and it was the students next to him who reminded him in a low voice that he understood the teacher's question just now.

"Currently China is centered on the capital and divided into five regions, Central China, North China, South China, West China, and East China. It is also divided into Kyushu, Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Liangzhou, Yongzhou, Jizhou, and Yanzhou."

"Kyoto is independent and forms a continent called Central Continent. Together with the overseas islands, it is the current geographical division of our country."

Li Tong nodded without moving his face, and said, "Sit down, come to the office to find me after class."

"...Understood, thank you teacher."

..............................

"Okay, I'll be here today, get out of class is over. Jiang Qi, follow me."

"coming."

Jiang Qi absentmindedly responded, and followed with his tennis bag on his back.

The history department is the main subject of Jiangbei University, and Li Tong is the dignified vice president of the history department, so he naturally has his own independent office.

After entering the office, Old Li Da Ma sat on the sofa, pointed to the sofa opposite him, and signaled to Jiang Qi who bowed his head.

"Sit down and talk, what's the matter with the dignified champion of liberal arts who was absent-minded in the first class?"

Li Tong asked seemingly casually, and had some rough answers in his mind.

It's nothing more than being too excited on the first day of school and going there at night, or it's something about love and love.

Jiang Qi sat down neatly and said, "I made a mistake."

"What?" Li Tong was taken aback for a moment.

He never expected that there would be such an answer, until the student in front of him opened the tennis bag and carefully took out a rusty short knife from inside.

"what?"

Li Tong's eyes became more serious. As a professor in the history department, the office next door is a big boss in archeology, so he naturally dabbled in antiques and the like.

"Let me palm my eyes?"

Jiang Qi nodded, but did not hand it over, but put the dagger on the table, motioning for Li Tong to do it.

Li Tong's astonishment deepened. This kid understands the rules that a treasure is only second-hand?Not a pure layman.

The so-called "treasure is only second-hand" refers to an antique. After one person has finished reading it, others want to see it, so they can't take it from others. They have to wait for others to put it on the table before taking over.

This is just in case the two of them exchanged hands, and something goes wrong with this antique, who do you think is to blame?
Therefore, there is a rule that this treasure is only second-hand.

Li Tong didn't pick it up either, but supported it with his hand, and leaned over to look at it.

This is also the rule, that is, treasures should not leave the table, or the same sentence, you pick up and look at other people's things, in case one is not stable and broken by others, what do you say?
After a while, Li Tong nodded and said: "That's right, the real thing should be from the Southern Ming and Northern Expeditions. Judging from the inscription on this knife, it should be a commander's waist knife. It is a treasure."

As he said that, the old man looked up at Jiang Qi, and said with a smile, "You picked this up? How much did it cost?"

Jiang Qi replied: "Five hundred, a total of three items were drawn, and this should be the real one."

"It's not bad, it's a bit of a skill to be able to snatch food from those ghost-like stall owners, kid."

"You took it."

"You still know?"

Li Tong stared and said, "You are a student, or a student who has just entered university. If you are interested in antiques, there will be more opportunities in the future. Why worry about it for a day or two?"

"Little boy, don't think that if you get a little bit of money now, you can always get a lot of money. Put your thoughts away, do your research first, and then think about other things."

Jiang Qi nodded politely, "You are right, the student remembers."

"Well, this thing is good, keep it well."

Li Tong saw that Jiang Qi was very serious, so he stopped talking, and could only feel that this kid was lucky.

"If you want to make a move, go to the office next door and find Dean Liu of the Department of Archeology. He likes this."

"Eh, I see."

"Okay, go, be serious in class."

Jiang Qi got up and bowed slightly, then turned and left the office, but he sighed inwardly.

He didn't tell the truth, this short knife was indeed picked up by mistake, but... there is something wrong with this knife.
