Wind rises time and space gate

The next day was a good day chosen by Lu Shanchang, saying it was an auspicious day to open a shop, so Zhao Guangyuan's "Qiya Antique Shop" was opened.

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

I thought that only her flower basket would be deserted, but it turned out that not only Zhang Lianqiu gave it, but Zhang's father also gave it. There were two lines in front of the store, almost blocking the door next door. It looked quite spectacular, but not at all. Deserted.

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

Although Lu Shanchang managed to adapt to the life here after a few days of assault, he still felt uneasy going out alone.

Fortunately, there were traffic lights, so he could follow the flow of people and move forward. But when he got to the zebra crossing, even though cars now automatically let people pass by, he was still afraid to move forward.

He always felt that the cars on both sides would rush towards him in the next second.

The kind that makes you close your eyes in fear when you walk in the middle.

How could Zhao Guangyuan and Lin Zhaoxia feel comfortable letting him go out alone.

Although he is quite proficient in using a mobile phone now, and can watch videos, send WeChat messages, make phone calls, and knows how to use payment tools. He can buy things online alone and stay hungry in the store alone, but he cannot stay in the store all the time. Can't go out.

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

The new store opened, and it was approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day. The antique store was very busy with people coming and going.People who came to shop were interested in the newly opened store, and many people came to visit.

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

Standing straight in the store with his hands crossed.

The two people have unique temperaments and are different from ordinary people. All the guests who come in look at them.

I just think they are a good match for this antique shop.Especially the man with his hair tied in a bun has an outstanding temperament, as if he had stepped out of an ancient painting.

Seeing that they both stood upright and didn't speak, Lin Zhaoxia had no choice but to do it herself. "Welcome, guests can take a look. Our store is newly opened today, with a [-]% discount on the entire store."

While Lin Zhaoxia was greeting the guests, she motioned to Zhao Guangyuan and Lu Shanchang, "Why are you standing there so stupidly? Come up and greet them."

The two of them received it, but their feet didn't move even an inch.However, the two of them are good-looking, so they attract a lot of female customers to the store.

"If you have something you like, you can consult our two store managers. They have pretty good eyesight and are very familiar with the ancient paintings, books and antiques in the store."

Lin Zhaoxia's mouth went dry as she spoke. Seeing that they were not moving, she stepped forward and gave Zhao Guangyuan a hard kick.

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

"Do you like this painting? Then you have good taste. This is a landscape painting made by Jiang Xiang, the prince of the Qi Dynasty, 1000 years ago. The brushwork is delicate..."

"More than 1000 years ago? Qi Dynasty? Which dynasty was Qi Dynasty?" The guest was confused.

Uh……

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

Lin Zhaoxia accepted his fate and walked over and smiled at the guest: "This painting was indeed done by the ancients thousands of years ago. As for the Qi Dynasty, I have never heard of it. Many dynasties have been lost in the dust and smoke of history and are unknown. Sometimes it is not written in the history books. , doesn’t mean they don’t exist.”

"You only see the signature here..."

Lin Zhaoxia gave the guest a magnifying glass, "Although the ancients also made lies, they did not dare to fabricate their identities at will. Not only would an individual be beheaded, but the entire clan would also be beheaded. This young master's official seal cannot be faked."

The guest is thoughtful.

Staring at Jiang Xiang’s paintings, the more I looked at them, the more I liked them, “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 and said, "I'm not much of an expert. I just like ancient paintings. The more I read them, the more I understand them. If it's an ancient painting, the painting paper will weather and become smooth over time. But Where do you have it?"

"You are right. But you only know one thing. You said you like ancient paintings and have seen and bought many. Then you should know that the painting papers of different dynasties are different. The craftsmanship is different and the paper materials are different."

The guest nodded and looked at Zhao Guangyuan with a sense of trust.

"Look at this paper. It is cotton and linen paper mixed with cotton and linen. It is a unique paper product of the Qi Dynasty. Because the craftsmanship was not good at that time, unlike later generations, all dynasties produced a lot of high-quality drawing paper. This kind of cotton and linen paper Paper, if you look carefully, it is gray in color and a little yellow. The surface of the paper is very uneven, and it feels bumpy to the touch..."

The guest got his permission and touched it with his hand. As Zhao Guangyuan said, it was indeed concave and convex, which could be distinguished with the naked eye.

"So this kind of painting paper cannot do many delicate paintings. Most of Qi Dynasty's paintings are rough, with thick lines and large openings and closings. But this Jiang Shaofu pioneered a new painting method. His paintings are more detailed than others. In Qi Dynasty, The Qi Dynasty is famous. I have some paintings by other famous Qi Dynasty artists here, including paintings by Tanhua Lang, Erjia Jinshi, and Wenyuan Pavilion bachelors. You can compare them."

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

When other customers in the store saw it, they all crowded towards the painting cabinet.

The painting cabinet was immediately packed to the brim.

As a result, people outside came to watch the opening of the new store and wanted to join in the fun. When they saw the scene, they also squeezed in for fear of missing out.

The rent on this antique street is notoriously high. If you dare to open a shop here, you won't dare to open it if you don't have something to buy.As a result, more and more people came.

As a result, after closing the shop at night, a lot of things were sold, and the best sellers were the paintings Jiang Wentao asked people to paint.

Lin Zhaoxia gained a lot of knowledge today after listening to Zhao Guangyuan and Lu Shanchang's introduction to the guests.

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 from 1000 years ago, but there are something missing."

Zhao Guangyuan nodded, "Yes, there are some traces of time missing."

"Then if we sell it as an ancient painting from a thousand years ago, will there be any problem?"

"No. First of all, it is indeed something from thousands of years ago. Although the drawing paper lacks the paddle, it is not a modern fake, using those dyes to dye the paper. It is difficult to find this kind of cotton or linen now. The cotton and linen paper made in the Qi Dynasty has been lost with the progress of society. Not to mention modern times, even the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties after the Qi Dynasty could not make it."

Lu Shanchang also nodded, "That's true. Moreover, these paintings collected by Guangyuan are full of ancient meanings. Modern fakes cannot depict them at all. Without the state of mind of the ancients, such charm cannot be produced. Even if they are copied, they cannot be painted. .”

"Yes. The main reason is that the painting paper is different. Even the best painting paper of the Qi Dynasty cannot be compared with that of later generations. The uneven surface of the paper is a test of the painter's mentality and skill. No matter how true it is, it will be in vain without raw materials. No matter how much you copy the fake drawing paper, you can't copy the mood and charm that the Qi Dynasty painter wanted to express."

Zhao Guangyuan smiled at Lin Zhaoxia and reassured her.

“And what we sell is not expensive.”

He only offered a price of 38 for Jiang Xiang's painting, which was bought by that customer. It was the most expensive painting sold today.

It was already much cheaper than the ancient paintings he had learned could easily cost tens of millions and were hard to find.If Jiang Xiang knew this difference, he might jump up and scold him.The prices of other people's paintings that Jiang Wentao bought were lower than Jiang Xiang's, so they were not expensive.

Lu Shanchang also reassured Lin Zhaoxia, "First of all, we are indeed from 1000 years ago, and the painters are all well-known people. The seals are all exquisitely made. It is not cost-effective to sell less. Furthermore, look at how many we sold. Although most of these antiques come from Daqi's counterfeiting workshops, compared to today, they are still antiques."

Modern counterfeiting techniques cannot imitate those made 1000 years ago.

Even if others think there are no traces of time, the unique craftsmanship of each dynasty cannot be imitated by future generations.

Lin Zhaoxia was mainly afraid that the customers would regret the purchase and come back to make trouble. She was most afraid of dealing with these things.But now that I heard what they said, I feel more relieved.

When he was old enough, he was taken to the store by Lin Zhaoxia after school.

First, he listened quietly to the side without interrupting. He didn't understand, but he didn't move away either. He liked to listen.I was sitting next to his mother obediently.Now that everyone has finished talking, he urges his mother, "Mom, look at how many have been sold and how much profit has been made?"

He is so anxious.Until now, all I see in my eyes is money.

If he makes money, he will ask his father to buy delicious food later!
When they said this, Zhao Guangyuan and Lu Shanchang both looked at Lin Zhaoxia eagerly.

When talking about this, Lin Zhaoxia was also excited, "I originally thought that when opening an antique store, you have to be able to maintain your loneliness. Others often say that if you don't open it for three years, it will last three years if you open it. It can be seen that antique stores do not have business every day."

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

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

Jiang Xiang’s painting sold for 38 yuan, and Jiang Wentao’s painting also sold for 35 yuan as the third prize.The other two paintings are also around 20.The five antiques were bought from a counterfeiting workshop. They were collected one or two each, and Zhao Guangyuan did not sell them at a high price. One or two were only one thousand, three hundred yuan, so he offered them ten times the price, ten thousand yuan each. Five pieces sold.

The total is...120!
Oh my God!I made 120 million in one day!Lin Zhaoxia was shocked.Changzhi jumped up happily.Dad made money!

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

120 ten thousand, converted into Daqi's silver... I calculated in my mind... I only made more than 900 taels.

"I didn't even earn 1000 taels this day."

Thinking of Lu Ye's Dongsheng Pawn Shop, making money every day, he couldn't help but frown.

Lu Shanchang was very happy at first, but when he heard what Zhao Guangyuan said, he felt a little unhappy.

The army nourishes soldiers, a large number of soldiers, salary, food and drink, armor, weapons, horses, horse fodder, various military supplies... There are 30 soldiers and horses in Hangu Pass. Every year, the court allocates military expenses and grain and grass, which totals nearly 500 million taels.

If Guangyuan wants to recruit troops, he still needs to prepare 10 million taels a year based on only 500 people.

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

"65 billion!"

He had already done the multiplication calculations he had just learned. After he finished counting the zeros he had memorized, he was so shocked that he almost dropped the pen in his hand.

Lin Zhaoxia was also shocked. 65 billion, is this a number that a social beast like her, a social beast with an unstable job, can look up to?
This is just for one year.Eat money?

"Mom, is there a lot?" Until now, I only knew that there were many zeros, but I didn't know what kind of number it was.

Zhao Guangyuan frowned deeply. With 500 million taels of silver, even if there were 50 soldiers and horses, it would cost at least 1000 taels to raise the troops!Even if you earn [-] taels a day, it will take nearly a year and a half.

He cast his gaze on Changzhi and looked at him deeply.

Therefore, when he went to explore the underground palace of his ancestors, he was really short of money.There are 30 troops at Hanguguan, and the annual cost of grain, grass and military expenses is more than 500 million taels.When the grain and grass are cut off, they have to buy it from elsewhere at a higher price, which is even more expensive.

"Dad, why do you think so highly of Changzhi?"

Zhao Guangyuan looked back and smiled at him, "Dad is very happy. We have only been in school for less than a month, and our math skills are already so good."

Changzhi raised his head slightly with a proud expression.

"Now that you are so good at it, your uncle said that you have memorized the meanings of the poems he just taught you. Dad thinks you will be able to learn the Three-Character Classic this month, right? It only took a month for Dad to learn it. I've memorized the Three-Character Sutra like a pro, and even recognized all the characters. He must be better than dad when he grows up, right?"

His little brows furrowed, feeling that his father was making things difficult for him.

"Your uncle is three days older than dad. And dad's condition over there is not as good as here. He must be as powerful as your uncle when he grows up."

When I think about it, it's not true. Daqi doesn't have such conditions, but this place is much better than Daqi.

He patted his chest and promised: "Then I am just like the uncle. I learned it three days earlier than my father. I will be better than my uncle when I grow up, so I decided to learn it one day earlier than my uncle when I grow up!"

"What a great son! Dad is happy."

Lu Shanchang was stunned.Isn’t this guy?Do you hope your son will become a dragon like this?Is this your biological father?

Looking at Lin Zhaoxia again, she looked like she couldn't bear to look at her. She was so shocked that she was used to it.

Lu Shanchang didn't want to look at him and turned to talk to Lin Zhaoxia. He was mainly thinking about how to make the store more famous and help his cousin make more money.

I was very interested in these things and sat next to his mother, listening to them with great interest.

But Zhao Guangyuan was troubled.

It seems that we still need to think of more ways and use more channels to make money.Otherwise, if we recruit soldiers and horses but cannot afford to support them, do we really want to follow Lu Changyu's example and dig up the graves of our ancestors?

No, no, no, he can't do such a thing.

Couldn't help but glare at Changzhi again.

Lu Changyu did not grow up in the Zhao family, and was raised by the old Lu family who regarded the Zhao family as their enemies. In the end, even the surname Zhao was omitted. He could dig graves without any burden, but he was different.

Although he hated his father, his grandfather loved him.Although the ancestors have never met him, it is because of them that he exists.

He can't do that kind of thing.

And now the length is...

Zhao Guangyuan looked at him, feeling somewhat fortunate.Although this child did not grow up in the Zhao family, he knows him well and has his guidance, so he should not do those deviant things.

It seems that on the one hand, he wants to make money, and on the other hand, he must continue to strengthen his son's education.
