Chapter 215 This Expert Is Different

Zhu Yu didn't expect to receive a call from Ye Shenghua so soon.

"Second brother, you have to tell me, what is this thing? My second uncle's old friend, a professor at Tunghai University, who is well-known in the ancient book restoration industry, and whose master was once a figure in the Town God's Temple, Mr. Wen, is going to visit you There it is!"

Ye Shenghua almost shouted out.

He was really curious, but no matter how he asked, Ye Jianshe didn't say anything.

I had no choice but to find Zhu Yu.

Zhu Yu was sleeping, and when he woke up from such a noise, he was so annoyed that he asked:

"Do you know my last name?"

"Zhu!"

"Which dynasty's emperor was surnamed Zhu?"

"Nonsense, Daming!"

"What is the most famous ancient book in the Ming Dynasty?"

"I must know this, "Yongle Dadian", this is more comprehensive and famous than "Siku Quanshu"...Isn't it?"

Ye Shenghua suddenly raised his voice in the middle of speaking, almost threw Zhu Yu's noisy phone aside, and then replied:

"Congratulations, you guessed it right. Well, I'm going to sleep, don't bother me anymore!"

Even if Ye Shenghua is not an insider, he still knows the rarity of "Yongle Dadian"!
After hanging up the phone, Ye Shenghua was still in shock, this second child is too powerful!

How long has it been since I went out, Tang Dao, "Yongle Dadian", plus acupuncture and moxibustion bronze figures.Whichever one is released will shock the archaeological world!

In time, won't this second child want to build his own museum?

Not to mention the shock on Ye Shenghua's side, Zhu Yu also heard from Ye Shenghua's words that the matter was over.

He searched out Wen Lao's resume from his mobile phone, and then he was relieved.

If such a person came to restore the "Yongle Dadian" for himself, he must have pinched it with his hands.

Five days later, when Mr. Wen got off the plane, the first thing he said when he saw Zhu Yu was:

"You are Zhu Yu? Where are the things? Can you take a look now?"

"In the car." Zhu Yu knew that most of the experts were straight-tempered, so he also said bluntly, "It's not convenient to take it out here."

Elder Wen immediately followed Zhu Yu out with big strides, and was so anxious that his assistant trotted behind to keep up.

When they arrived in front of the big black SUV in the parking lot, Ran Jie opened the door, Mr. Wen got into the car, and Zhu Yu opened the box on the back seat.

Seeing the two volumes of "Yongle Dadian", which were almost intact except for the cover, Mr. Wen became excited.

Holding up a booklet with trembling hands, he stroked the smeared out part with complicated eyes.

There are regrets, but there are also joys.

It's the real thing.

It's a pity that it was painted out-but think about it, if it hadn't been painted out, wouldn't it not necessarily be able to be preserved until now!

Carefully opening the cover, seeing the contents inside were exactly the same as in the records and in the impression, Mr. Wen heaved a sigh of relief—it really is the real thing!

Moreover, this content has never appeared in ancient books in the world, so it is very valuable for research!
This is the "Yongle Dadian", not the "Siku Quanshu", which is full of deletions and revisions!
Thinking of this, Elder Wen became excited again!
"Old Wen, let's go." Zhu Yu said, "I've already arranged accommodation for you."

"Okay, okay, I also want to start working as soon as possible." Elder Wen couldn't wait.

The car drove to the villa, and when he saw Cathy's welcome in Mandarin and the authentic Chinese food on the table, Mr. Wen felt that he had arrived in China!
But he got used to it very quickly. After eating and resting for a while, Mr. Wen told Zhu Yu that he was going to start working.

Zhu Yu said:
"Old Wen, you've been on the plane for so long, why don't you take a good rest for a day, how about starting work when you recover?"

Mr. Wen thought that Zhu Yu was afraid that he would lose energy and ruined the cover of "Yongle Dadian", so he stopped pressing and agreed to start working after breakfast the next day.

After the excitement passed, Mr. Wen was indeed tired.After all, how can an old man in his 60s not be tired after flying for so long?

So when Cathy brought her to the guest room, Mr. Wen simply washed up and fell asleep.

The next day, Mr. Wen and his assistant started to work, and Zhu Yu just looked at it for a while, and then left.

Professional things still need to be done by professionals, so don't bother me as an amateur.

Moreover, Hans called and said that the matter of the gold and gemstones had been dealt with, and asked Zhu Yu to meet.

Hans and Zhu Yu met at Old John's Seven Axes bar.

Zhu Yu took Ran Jie and Qin Fei with him.

When he arrived at the bar, seeing Hans chatting with Old John at the counter with a smile on his face, Zhu Yu guessed that Old Hans must have really untied his knots and walked out of the shadow in his heart.

Seeing Zhu Yu, Hans stretched out his hands and hugged him. He also hugged Ran Jie and Qin Fei at the same time, and then the four of them went to the corner table and sat down.

Hans said with emotion:

"Thinking about the treasure hunt in the jungle some time ago, it was like a nightmare! It's not the first time I've been to the jungle. But the previous times, the combination of dangers is not as much as this time-I even plan to write A memoir of a jungle adventure—of course, Zhu, you are the protagonists."

Zhu Yu smiled, taking this as a joke.

"Okay, I'm old, and I always like to sigh and remember, you young people are different."

Hans also knew that talking too much would be annoying, so he stopped talking, took out a large envelope from the inner pocket of his suit, and pulled out three checks from it and pushed them over.

"This time the gold and gemstones were sold very smoothly, with a total of 700 million US dollars. Zhu, your 40.00%, 280 million US dollars."

Zhu Yu took a look at the check and put it away.

“Ran, Qin, both of you are 70 dollars.”

Ran Jie and Qin Fei happily took the check, and calculated it quietly in their minds, it was more than 400 million!
It can be regarded as one of the very few in the country!

Zhu Yu asked:
"How is Mira?"

"I gave her a sum of money, and she went for facial revision surgery." Hans sighed:

"Jason and the others, two of them have no family members, and the other two have received pensions. Fortunately, their families knew what they were doing and had expected it..."

Thinking about the end of those four people, although there were reasons for each, Zhu Yu also felt sorry for himself—the world is impermanent, who can predict it?
"Zhu, will you go treasure hunting again?" Hans felt that the atmosphere was heavy, so he changed the subject on his own initiative.

"Yes." Zhu Yu thought about it, "I think the most exciting thing about treasure hunting is the process. As for the result, in my current situation, it is not very important. Of course, if there are rich harvests every time, I will Will be happy too."

"Well, not bad. Young people have to have vigor." Hans said with a smile, "Your name has spread in New York, and even in the treasure hunting circles across the United States. I believe there will be many people who want to find you to help with the treasure hunt." .”

Zhu Yu didn't reply immediately.

Fame is a double-edged sword, it has advantages and disadvantages.In fact, he is now also thinking about whether he should agree to help others find treasures in the future—of course, if Hans is like this, and there is a generous reward before the treasure hunt, then there is no problem.

He himself still has several treasure clues on hand, but he is currently unavailable or unable to go.

But Zhu Yu is not in a hurry, he is still young and has plenty of time.

Hans chatted a few more words, then smiled and said:
"Well, you don't have to accompany me, the old man. You young people, go about your own business. I'll talk to old John.

Now the biggest knot in my heart has been untied, and I can live easily and do what I want to do in the future. "

Zhu Yu thinks about it too, Hans used to make money for the purpose of hunting treasures again and again.

Now the matter of the treasure has come to a conclusion. Although it is not perfect, it is not satisfactory.

In any case, it was impossible for Hans to fish for treasure in that lake again—it was too difficult and unnecessary.

Let go of your worries, and you will naturally be able to live easily.

The three of Zhu Yu left the bar, Ran Jie said to Zhu Yu:
"Boss, when you don't go out, I want to take a leave of absence and remit the money home."

"Boss, me too."

Zhu Yu knew that Ran Jie was burdened with a lot of things, and Qin Fei's family was probably very poor, so he said:
"Now I'm going back to the villa, you can move freely. By the way, I suggest you save some money for self-defense."

Some words cannot be said too much, Zhu Yu believes that these two people can understand.

Ran Jie nodded thoughtfully, and then said:
"The two of us take turns."

Ran Jie meant that there must be someone to protect Zhu Yu every day, and Zhu Yu agreed after thinking about it.

Now the status is different, and just by looking at the frequency of the gangsters I meet, I know that if I continue to be like before, if I don’t keep it clean, I will capsize in the gutter one day.

Back at the villa, I went to look at Elder Wen, and found that they were carefully wiping the cover with a transparent liquid, and they quietly backed out.

A week later, Mr. Wen came to Zhu Yu holding two volumes of "Yongle Dadian":
"Mr. Zhu, it's been repaired, take a look."

Zhu Yu has seen the real "Yongle Canon" filmed more than once on the Internet. Looking at this one now, and thinking about when he got it back then, it is really different!
totally different!
It's almost as if it has never been painted!
Zhu Yu took the "Yongle Dadian" and read it carefully.

The eyes of the sky are opened, and it is indeed the original.While there is a touch of modernity on the cover, there is something original overall.

Flipping through the contents, Zhu Yu found that some places that had been mildewed had been repaired, so he turned a few more pages, and then praised again and again:

"Good good!"

Raising his head, Zhu Yu said to Elder Wen:

"Professor Wen, thank you very much! I really didn't expect that such a seriously damaged thing could be repaired so well in your hands!"

Elder Wen said modestly:
"Actually, it wasn't too badly damaged! It's just that it was wiped off and some were injured. For those of us who restore ancient books, it's not a big problem."

It's really not a big problem. The reason why it took so long is mainly to remove some moldy spots and stains inside.

"Anyway, thank you Mr. Wen. By the way, we didn't discuss the price beforehand..."

"No money, no money!" Elder Wen waved his hand, "But I have a heartfelt request..."

Zhu Yu's heart tightened, wouldn't you let me donate things?

Looking at Zhu Yu's expression, Mr. Wen guessed what he was thinking, and said with a smile:
"It's not what you think. Although I'm old, I'm not an antique, and I don't know how to keep up with the times. The things are yours. Whether you buy them or exchange them, you must have put a lot of thought into them.

I heard Ye Laoer talk about you, so I don't have any thoughts about you holding this treasure.I just want to ask for your permission to take a photo of the contents here and make a copy.Because the content of these two volumes is the kind that has not been found in the original text in China, it is extremely rare, so it is very valuable for research..."

"That's no problem." Zhu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, he was very afraid that the other party would use moral excuses to make him donate things, now that Mr. Wen was obviously not that kind of hypocrite, nor was he a pedantic person, so Zhu Yu was relieved.

As for the content to be used for research, Zhu Yu is in favor of this kind of thing - if he is not even willing to spread knowledge about the things left by his ancestors, he will be no more than fifty steps away from the guy who engages in literary prisons, burning books and banning books.

And if Mr. Wen really has the heart, he can take a picture of it and not tell himself when it is being repaired.

Now that he has said it, he is showing aboveboard.

Elder Wen was also extremely happy, took the booklet from Zhu Xin, carefully put it on the box and started taking photos.

Naturally, it was impossible for Zhu Yu not to pay. After Mr. Wen finished filming, he took out a check for [-] US dollars and handed it over:
"Old Wen, you have to accept this kindness."

Elder Wen saw it and said hastily:
"There are many more..."

"Not much, not much." Zhu Yu picked up the "Yongle Dadian" booklet and said, "This is considered a national treasure in my mind. Fifty thousand dollars is really not much."

Elder Wen was not polite and accepted the check.

After seeing off Mr. Wen, Zhu Yu thought about it, and took a copy of the content of the Yongle Canon, and then put the original book with a box into the space.

Still the safest there.

After Professor Wen went back, after a period of time, he instructed his students to publish a paper on the evolution of a certain weapon before the Ming Dynasty by studying the contents of the two volumes of "Yongle Dadian", saying that it was nearly 300 years earlier than the West , The content and data are detailed, which directly shocked the archaeological world!
How did you research something like this?
The Chinese archaeological field is now based on the Western standard. To prove that something is leading the world at the time, it needs to use real objects and records as reference.

In the past, these things were only recorded in a few words, and many international archaeologists, even domestic archaeologists, did not think it was true.Because it cannot be proven.

After all, well-known archaeologists all over the world are very strict with Huaxia's archaeological standards - it is not enough to have real objects in Huaxia, there must be written records and mutual confirmation.

Unlike in the West, if you dig out a basket 1 years ago or a bronze ware thousands of years ago, you don’t need to find relevant sites or records, just isolated evidence.

So this paper directly shocked many people!

Of course, someone came forward to question it immediately, and then Boss Wen released a photocopy of "Yongle Dadian", which contains very detailed records!

Those who questioned were also from the domestic archaeological field, and then they said that the "Yongle Dadian" preserved at home and abroad has no such content at all!
With Zhu Yu's consent, Mr. Wen published an article saying that this is a new copy of "Yongle Dadian" found by a Chinese from abroad, and it was restored by him, so it can be seen again!

Immediately, the Madonna of Morality asked this Chinese to donate the "Yongle Dadian", saying that it should be the treasure of all Chinese.

Fortunately, the ideological quality of Chinese people is much higher now, and some people immediately refuted:

"You donate your computer, car, and house first, and then don't say this to me."

"He can't donate—after all, he really has a house and a car..."

Zhu Yu took it as a joke.

 Thank you book friend Hongguizi for your reward, and thank you for your subscriptions, monthly tickets, and recommended tickets.The subscription increase has been a bit slow recently, but it's okay.I'll do my best, I don't know if I can maintain [-] a day...
