I changed the world
Page 20
Zhang Jing took out a copy of "The Choice-Jiashen Revolution". When he was reading "Gonville World History", he read the chapter about the Jiashen Revolution in this dynasty. Regarding this event that can be called a turning point in Eastern history, he Suddenly he became very interested. However, whether it was the school history education he had received or the "Gonville World History" dominated by Western historical views, there was only a brief description of this historical event. Therefore, Zhang Jing specially purchased this book by historian Guan Xiping online...
Zhang Jing now not only seizes time to go to the cave world to practice every day, but also usually takes a considerable amount of time to read. He needs to have a deeper understanding of the history, humanities, folk customs, religions and other aspects of this world. This is preparing him for the future. Plan to lay the foundation.
....................................
This afternoon, Zhang Jing left for the driving school after lunch. His road test appointment was at 14:30 this afternoon. He had to go to the driving school to meet the instructor first and then go to the test center to take the test together.
Zhang Jing had already passed the written test for his driver's license and took time to go to a driving school for one hour of pre-test training. He didn't have too much worry about the upcoming test.
This is also true. The exam in the afternoon went very smoothly. After Zhang Jing completed the exams in all subjects, he was successfully informed of the fact that he successfully obtained his driver's license. The completed driver's license will be delivered to him by express delivery the next day. at home.
After coming out of the examination center, Zhang Jing did not go home directly, but went to Guizang's martial arts gym.Since the matter of Yan Hu was solved, Gui Zang started his children's training class project, and the results seemed to be quite good. Every time Zhang Jing went to the martial arts gym these days, he could see some half-grown children. The children followed him and practiced basic skills step by step.
After discussing swordsmanship with Guizang for a while, the two went to have dinner together.Because some students from the training class were coming back to Tibet in the evening, Zhang Jing went home by himself.

承和36年西历2015年11月21日10:33天府大学堂
Tianfu University Hall, formerly known as Tianfu Academy, is the most famous academy in southern Dazhao and one of the four major academies in Dazhao.Its history can be traced back to the late Xia Dynasty and went through the five dynasties of Xia, Liang, Qi, Qian and Zhao. It has always been one of the academic centers in the south.Since the beginning of the Qi Dynasty, Tianfu Academy has been the seat of the Jiangling Imperial Academy. Since the spread of Western learning to the east, especially after the establishment of the Constitution by Hengzong of this dynasty, as cultural trends have changed, academies in various places have gradually transformed into modern universities, and Tianfu Academy has also It has become the largest comprehensive university in the southern part of the empire, and its alumni are also numerous celebrities. .
Tianfu University adopts an elite education with extremely high admission threshold. However, it has become a popular choice for the children of aristocratic families and noble families. Even many families who want to change their family are also trying to put their children into the school. , but the various fees exceeding 10 per year and admission must have letters of recommendation from alumni or celebrities. This system has become a threshold that many poor students cannot overcome.
In the Tianfu University Hall female dormitory, on the balcony of the dormitory on the first floor, An Huiling, wearing sunglasses, was sitting on a chair, looking at some girls playing badminton in the wide open space in front of the balcony. From time to time, someone would win because of a ball. Jumping and having fun.
With a look of envy in her eyes, An Huiling glanced at the sky. It was cloudy today. She liked cloudy days. Without the scorching sunshine, she could go outdoors.
She likes the outdoors, she likes it from the bottom of her heart, she likes the fresh air, the gentle wind, and she likes to see the energetic figures and bright smiles of her classmates.
PS: Pay tribute to Teacher Tan Weihai's "Flowers Bloom and Old Friends Come".
Chapter 59 Ice Princess
An Huiling is a girl with a classic temperament, tall and slender, with long hair, almond-shaped eyes, willowy eyebrows, and a gentle smile at the corner of her mouth. However, her too pale skin makes her look unhealthy.
After watching silently for a while, An Huiling looked at the watch on her wrist and saw that it was time to take medicine again.So she stood up and walked back to the bedroom.
First, he got himself a glass of water from the water dispenser in the room, and then took out a small white medicine bottle from the desk. The label on the medicine bottle was marked: Moritorin
If there are people who study medicine here, they will probably recognize that this is a new drug that has appeared in recent years. It is the best specific drug to treat leukemia so far. Although it still cannot completely cure leukemia, it can indeed slow down the disease significantly. The patient's symptoms enable the patient to live a normal life, and it is said that it can extend the patient's normal life with the disease to more than ten years.The only drawback is the price. The drug is a patented drug of the Imperial Pharmaceutical Company of the Holstein Empire. Each bottle has 30 pills and costs 5 yuan in Imperial coupons.
Unscrewing the lid, An Huiling took out two yellow tablets, broke one of them in half, put back half of the tablet, and then swallowed the remaining tablet and half with water.
After taking a few deep breaths and slightly suppressing the nauseating feeling in her abdomen after taking the medicine, An Huiling picked up a pair of headphones from the desk and walked back to the balcony.
Sitting back on the chair, An Huiling put the headphones on her head, connected it to her mobile phone, called up "Shell Music", selected her favorite playlist, and then continued to watch her classmates playing ball while humming softly. Singing music.
"Huiling, Huiling! I found a nice new song!" As he was listening, the door was suddenly pushed open with a bang, and a girl with an oval face rushed in fiercely.
An Huiling didn't even need to look back to know that the person coming was her roommate and best friend Luo Yan.An Huiling rarely participated in other activities in the class besides attending classes, and she always treated others with a gentle and polite manner but with a sense of distance. As for the pursuit of boys, whether it was in this department or another department, they had never been successful. , over time, she became the "Ice Princess" among everyone, and Luo Yan was one of the few friends who could chat with her.
"Oh? What type is it?" An Huiling took off her headphones and asked curiously.In fact, she does not object to interacting with peers, but due to her physical condition, she cannot interact like ordinary people.
"The aesthetic type, Bamboo Flute, is your favorite. I accidentally discovered it from the personalized recommendations on the website. It sounds really good!" After saying that, Luo Yan took out her mobile phone and said, "I'll recommend it to you!"
"Okay, let me listen." Listening to music is one of An Huiling's biggest hobbies. Due to her personality and physical condition, she prefers beautiful music, especially Chinese-style musical instruments.
Clicking on the music pushed by Qianluoshang Luo Yan, An Huiling looked at the title: "City in the Sky".
This special name made her click on it with some curiosity, put on her earphones and started listening.
Following a burst of soft string music, a melodious and lingering flute sounded. An Huiling's eyes immediately lit up, and she felt that her pores were opened at that moment.
As the tune progressed, An Huiling felt that she heard a faint loneliness, which seemed to be regret for the passing.The feeling like quicksand draining away bit by bit in her hands deeply touched her heart. She seemed to see herself in the sound of the flute...
From the day I suddenly fainted in physical education class in the second grade of junior high school, my life seemed to have entered an increasingly narrow fork in the road. My father's worries, my mother's occasional hidden cries, and the twinkling eyes of my relatives looked at me. But it seems impossible to reverse the declining physical condition...
I insisted on going to college despite my father's wishes. Didn't I just want to grab something...
Unknowingly, the music had ended. An Huiling reached out to wipe the corners of her eyes and quickly clicked on a favorite on her phone.
"It's really beautiful music. Yanyan, you have such a good taste." She turned around and gave her roommate a smile. An Huiling then lowered her head to look at her phone: "Whose music is this?"
"He is a newcomer. He also has a very good song. Unfortunately, his information cannot be found on the Internet. He must have just debuted." Luo Yan said while curling the ends of her hair with her fingers: "But , I’m already a fan of him, and I’ll be able to see new songs whenever they come out.”
"Well, I'll follow it too!" An Huiling said, and clicked "Follow" under the name "Yuluo Tianmen". Then she saw another song "Flowers Bloom, Old Friend Comes" and clicked it again to listen.
Luo Yan looked thoughtfully at An Huiling listening to music. In fact, she was not very keen on music. If she liked it, she would prefer rock music.However, she knew very well that she was different from An Huiling. She was just a girl from a middle-class family. Her parents had tried their best, and she had worked hard to get her into this top university. She couldn't let her parents disappointment.
She had known for a long time that An Huiling had an extraordinary background. Although her roommate did not show much difference from other classmates in terms of food and clothing expenses, she only saw a glimpse of him picking her up and dropping her off on a weekend. You can see it from the luxurious car and the respectful attitude of the bodyguard and driver.
Luo Yan even secretly checked the car online. It was a customized version of the "Shijia". After completing all the procedures, it still cost about 500 million imperial coupons. This is something that many noble families cannot afford to buy. of luxury cars.An Huiling, however, only used it as a means of transportation.Since she never let the car that picks her up drive directly into school, few of her classmates paid attention to her family.
"This song is also great. Although the style is slightly different, it is equally nice." An Huiling's slightly excited voice came to her ears.
"Then let me hear it... Yuluo Tianmen is amazing. Both of them are original." Luo Yan said hurriedly.
"It's indeed amazing, um...I'll try to see if I can take down the score later. I think it shouldn't be difficult."

Chapter 60 Linzhou Tongbao City
承和36年西历2015年11月21日13:20临州通宝城
Linzhou Tongbao City was originally called Linzhou Antique Market. Its main business items are antique calligraphy and painting, porcelain, antiques and miscellaneous items. 20 years ago, because the original stalls were not enough, they were expanded. After the construction, the overall area was expanded. It has nearly tripled in size, and its business scope has also expanded accordingly. Now it has become the largest cultural and antique collectibles trading market in the province, selling everything from antiques to jade, tooth horns, and even seal stones and carvings.
Zhang Jing came here after lunch today, mainly because he wanted to see if he could find some treasures.For this reason, a few days ago, he deliberately purchased a lot of books online about this world's cultural artifacts, especially various types of jade, seal stones and other natural resource collectibles.
Because of the development of space, the total amount of social wealth in this world is much higher than that in Zhang Jing's previous life. Because space development has deposited a huge amount of resources, just like in the previous life, due to the increase in total wealth and the periodic changes caused by excessive financial bubbles, The economic crisis never materialized.
Technological stagnation and the resulting inter-country stock game did not appear, and overall social prices were relatively low.As the saying goes, gold in troubled times is collected in prosperous times.In this peaceful social atmosphere, the prices of antique collectibles have been steadily rising, so the collecting craze has always existed in this world.
Zhang Jing wore a pair of sunglasses and wandered around the market.It should be said that due to the long-term bull market in collecting, there are actually not many opportunities to pick up big leaks. On the contrary, looking along the way, there are endless fakes that are fake and inferior at first glance.
There were some shops selling jade in Tongbao City. Zhang Jing also went in to take a look, and even chatted with the shopkeeper for a while about jade appreciation. These shopkeepers sold only finished products, and there was no so-called gambling on stones. Zhang Jing, who had originally planned this, was a little disappointed.
Zhang Jing unknowingly visited all the shops on the first floor, and then took the escalator to the second floor. The elevator entrance on the second floor was a shop with a large "Leping Stone" promotional poster, so Zhang Jing walked in .
Leping is a famous seal stone producing area in Dazhao, and the seal stones produced have been extremely famous since ancient times.It is located in the west of Linzhou, about 100 kilometers away from Linzhou City. It is a small mountain town.
Linzhou is also the largest provincial-level city away from Leping. Therefore, buying Leping stone in Linzhou can be regarded as direct sales from the origin.
The light in the store is dim, and there are large rows of display cabinets against the wall, which display various cut seals, most of which are plain seals without engraving.The boss was sitting in the shop looking at his mobile phone. When he saw Zhang Jing walking in, he stood up and turned on the switch on the side, so the lights in the display cabinet turned on.
Zhang Jing walked over and took a look, and saw a lot of bloodstone among them. This is the most famous variety of Leping stones. There are bright blood-like patterns on the bottom of the seal stone, and the price has always been high.
Due to traditional aesthetic factors, the colors of Dazhao's seal stones are mainly yellow and red. Among them, the most precious of the red seal stones is Leping's blood stone, known as the "Queen of Stones".
Zhang Jing was not very interested in the cut materials in the cupboard, so he asked the shopkeeper on the side: "Boss, do you have any rough stones?"
The raw stones of seal stones come in many different forms. No matter which form, they all have a certain "gambling quality". Some raw stones are mined directly in mines or pits. There is no stone skin covering them, and the stone can be seen directly. Meat, the gambling potential of this rough stone is relatively small.Even so, because it is not clear whether there are impurities inside, or uncertain factors such as water lines and cracks, there is still considerable uncertainty when cutting the material.
The other type is a monolith dug out of a puddle or soil. Due to long-term independent weathering, a layer of stone skin usually forms on the surface, completely covering up the internal conditions. This type of monolith is It's particularly risky because you don't know the specific condition of the stone meat after cutting it, so you can only judge based on experience.
Hearing Zhang Jing ask this, the boss was not surprised. After all, many regular customers like to get the rough stones directly, which is more cost-effective, so he nodded and said: "I still have a few pieces that I just brought from my hometown. I haven't had time to cut them yet. Here they are for you." have a look."
As he spoke, he opened the bottom cabinet of the showcase on the side and took out nearly ten rough stones one by one. Each piece was the size of an ostrich egg and was wrapped in a yellow stone skin.
"They are all made from Tianhuang chicken blood, good stuff." The shop owner pointed to the ingredients on the ground, then walked aside and said no more.
Strictly speaking, the Tianhuang chicken blood mentioned by the shop owner has nothing to do with Tianhuang stone. The real Tianhuang stone is produced in Rongzhou City, Nanzhang Province. It is warm and moist. It has been the most precious variety of seal stones since ancient times. The price is also calculated by the gram. .
The so-called Tianhuang chicken blood in Leping Stone was actually called "yellow-bottom chicken blood" more than ten years ago. However, because the price of Tianhuang has been rising in recent years, merchants have given it this name in order to gain popularity.Because of this, its price is also the fastest rising among all soapstone varieties.
Tianhuang chicken blood rough stones are basically single stones with stone skin. In many cases, there is not much blood inside after being cut. They are just ordinary materials of low value, so they are very gambling.
Zhang Jing didn't take off his sunglasses and squatted down to check. Although the boss was a little strange, he didn't say much. He just lit a cigarette and silently watched him choose.
Zhang Jing secretly used his secret technique, his eyes flashed with golden light, but it was blocked by his sunglasses, and because of the angle, the shop owner didn't notice it.
In his field of vision, among the several rough stones on the ground, only one was shrouded in a faint white light. Among the remaining stones, only two had a slight white mist feel, and the rest were not even the slightest bit strange.
Zhang Jing dispersed his secret skills, pretended to pick up a few rough stones and looked through them, then pointed at the rough stone shrouded in white light and said: "Boss, how can I sell this stone?"
"It's hard to mine stones now, and all the mines have been dug. These few pieces of mine are all old materials that have been saved at home for more than ten years..." The boss started with a mixture of half-truths and half-falsehoods. Zhang Jing was like this in his previous life. He had heard similar words too many times, so he smiled and said: "This kind of rough stone is a big gamble. Who knows how it will turn out. I don't dare to take it if it is really too expensive."
"This way...I'll quote you the actual price, 5000, and you take it." The boss thought about it for a moment, and finally extended a palm to Zhang Jing.
"I can't lift it..." Zhang Jing stared at the rough stone that was slightly smaller than a football, shook his head, and sighed: "If you paid 1500 yuan, I could still play with it, but 5000 yuan is really too much." , ready to go.
Seeing that Zhang Jing was about to leave, the boss couldn't sit still. In fact, this is the case with the literary and entertainment business. The quotations are usually very false and accompanied by false and true stories, which requires the buyer to have judgment and determination.
"Here, 3000 yuan, make a friend, and you can take it." The shop owner said with a bold gesture: "The quality of these rough stones is very good. If you drive well, you might be able to make a lot of money."
"I just play for fun by myself and don't expect to make money." Zhang Jing shook his head and said, "The price is too expensive and I really can't afford it. I'd better look at other things first."
"This way, 2500, if I don't make any money, you can add a little more."
"Boss, if you say so, I'll add a little more, 2000, and see if it works. If not, there's nothing you can do." After Zhang Jing thought about it for a while, he gritted his teeth.
"Okay, okay, just think of it as making a friend... This price is really a loss." The boss frowned and hesitated for a long time, but finally nodded, with a cut-off expression.
Chapter 61 Dahongpao
Zhang Jing naturally didn't believe the boss's so-called money loss, but he still handed it over and said: "Thank you very much boss for giving me your love. I'll transfer your phone to you."
After completing the transfer on the mobile phone, the boss found a few newspapers, wrapped the rough stone for Zhang Jing, and then put it in a plastic bag. From now on, it belongs to Zhang Jing.
"Boss, where can I get stones here?" Zhang Jing asked directly while holding the rough stone.
"Go from this corridor to the end, turn..." The boss stretched out his hand to sign, and after thinking for a while, he said directly: "Forget it, I will take you directly." After saying that, the boss turned off the light, walked out of the door, and locked the door with his backhand. Climb the glass door and lead the way.
"Thank you very much." Zhang Jing thanked him and followed the boss.
Not long after, the two came to a studio with double glass doors. It was an open operating room with many operating consoles, and some technicians were working in front of the operating consoles.Zhang Jing glanced at it and saw that many of them were polishing jade and inlaying jewelry. Several people gathered in front of one of the machines, and they seemed to be cutting seal materials.
"The processing and cutting people in Tongbao City usually come here." The shop owner introduced to Zhang Jing. At this time, someone had already come up to him. The shop owner obviously knew him and pointed to Zhang Jing on the side. : "This is my client. I have a piece of material to be opened. Are you free now, Mr. Yu?"
"Yes, yes, come here..." The man called Lao Yu by the shop owner was a short and stocky man. He brought a grinding machine from the side and called the two of them to take it aside.
Zhang Jing took out the rough stone, and Lao Yu placed it on the ground. Then he fetched a bucket of water from the side. He first cleaned the rough stone, and then asked Zhang Jing what he wanted to do. Is it direct? Cut it or peel it first and then cut it.
"Peel off the skin first." Zhang Jing said. Cutting it open was of course the most economical way, but it would be a waste of resources. Moreover, it didn't cost much to process the original stone, so he didn't want to save the money.
Lao Yu nodded and picked up the grinder without saying much.Compared with jade materials such as jadeite and Hetian jade, which are harder in texture, rough seal stones are much softer. You can easily draw a mark with just a pull of a screwdriver. Therefore, you don’t need very professional equipment. Portable A grinder and cutter can handle it.
The shopkeeper held a hand on the side and helped Lao Yu hold the stone to make it stable. After that, as the stone powder splashed, a small piece of the stone skin on one side of the original stone was quickly wiped off.
The shopkeeper was also experienced. He took a ladle and scooped a ladle of water from the bucket. After the grinder had rubbed it two or three times, he poured a ladle of water on it to wash away the stone powder.At the same time, because the seal stone has not yet been polished, it must be wetted with water to see the rough pattern of the exposed stone flesh.
There was a blush in his eyes. Old Yu took one look and praised: "This stone looks good, let's open it more and take a look!"
Lao Yu moved quickly. After about a quarter of an hour, most of the skin of the original stone had been removed, and the entire stone flesh was basically exposed.
Rinse the stone powder on it with water, and then the water layer can be clearly seen. The light red base is very clean, with a translucent feeling. On the base, large bright red lines look like fresh blood splashing on it. , almost covered with the entire stone.
"Good thing, this is Dahongpao!" At this time, the people watching were not just Zhang Jing, Lao Yu and the shop owner.The people who were cutting the chapters just now were obviously done with their work, and they all came closer to watch at this time.
"Lao Wang, is this your thing? What a shame!" A fat man came over and asked.
"I bought it from here, and now it belongs to this friend." The shopkeeper's expression was indescribably complicated. He obviously lost money on this transaction.But he bought the things from him, and if word spread about it, it would help his reputation. Even so, he was still a little unspeakably depressed.He thought in his mind that fortunately there were still a few pieces of the same batch of materials left. He would never sell those pieces, so he might as well open them up later to take a look.
"Friend, are you ready to take out this stone?" A middle-aged man standing by looked at it silently for a long time and suddenly asked.
"I plan to cut it up and play it myself, but if the price is right, I can let it go." Zhang Jing replied.
As soon as Zhang Jing finished speaking, the place fell silent. Even the shop owner who had brought Zhang Jing here squinted his eyes and looked at the stone carefully.Lao Yu had stopped. The skin on the stone had almost been peeled off at this time. The condition of the whole stone was quite clear after splashing water. Among the Leping Bloodstones, Dahongpao refers to the stone that is full of blood. The most expensive variety of soapstone.In addition, the base of the stone cannot be too bad, and this stone perfectly meets these two points. No matter from which angle you look at it, it is a piece of Leping Dahongpao.
"I'll pay you 10, can you give me this stone?" the middle-aged man said.
"I'll pay 13." The fat man who had spoken before also said at this time, and then he looked at the middle-aged man beside him: "Lao Yu, please don't fight with me. I haven't received anything good from my store recently. There is really a shortage of good stuff..."
"Friend, look, this stone came from me before. I'll add some more, 15, so let me take it back." The shop owner Lao Wang couldn't care less about his depression at this time, and hurriedly said to Zhang Jing who was standing aside, Whether it is seal stone or jade, for this kind of resource-based collection, top-quality materials are always scarce and must be fought for, otherwise it will cause the loss of high-end old customers who have the greatest profits.
"Lao Wang, you can't do this. This thing will be fully paid for after it leaves the store..."
"Everyone, everyone..." Seeing that the atmosphere around him was getting warmer, Zhang Jing quickly stood up and said, "Everyone wants this piece of material now, and I am planning to sell it here. In this case, don't fight, it will be in vain. Kindness, I have one point here: the one with the highest price will get it, and the money will be clear."
At this time, Zhang Jing had already figured out that these people should all be colleagues in Tongbao City. Such an opportunity was rare for him, so he simply held a small auction on the spot.
The bosses looked at each other and said nothing. They started to quote prices one after another. After many rounds, the price finally stopped at 21.
The price was finally reported by the fat man. Seeing that the others were silent, Zhang Jing bowed his hands to him: "In this case, then this Dahongpao rough stone belongs to this friend."
The fat man also smiled happily and made bows to the people around him: "Thank you very much. Thank you very much, brother, for giving me face."
Chapter 62 Resentment?
The store manager surnamed Wang on the side had already withdrawn from the competition when the price was called 18. This was mainly because he felt that there were still many rough stones of the same batch in the store and there was no need to compete for them at a high price. Therefore, Even if he didn't win in the end, his face was quite calm.As for the others, there was a hint of unwillingness on their faces, but after all, the one with the highest price got it, so there was nothing much to say.
