Chapter 645: Brother Daqing Guanxi (plus more)

ps: Thanks to book friends Xiangsi Zui Mi, Xiaoyu Xianggong, and Gigi for their monthly ticket rewards, and for adding more things to book friend Gigi. . . . . .
Lao Yang is asking for a monthly pass!
Xiao Peng asked Wang Hu to purchase some supplies, and he and Yang Meng moved all the large boxes on the seabed to the Arale. After all this was done, he dragged Guo Chuan on the way back.
Wang Hu was curious about the sudden addition of so many large boxes on the ship, but he didn't ask anything. Good employees are less nonsense. It is Wang Hu's consistent aim not to ask more if you shouldn't know yourself. Xiao Peng finally had time to open the box to see what was inside.
As a result, when he opened the first box, Xiao Peng was a little dumbfounded. Inside was a black brick-like square wrapped in paper. After so long, it was already dry and there were patterns printed on it. Xiao Peng picked up a break. After sniffing it, he frowned and threw it directly into the sea.
"What is this?" Yang Meng asked.
Xiao Peng snorted coldly: "This special is Fu-Shou-Ointment!"
Hearing what he said, Yang Meng suddenly realized.
The so-called Fu-Shou-Ointment is opium. The age of Zheng Shi was also the time when Eagle Country dumped opium to China. After becoming an official, Zheng Shi also participated in the sale of cigarettes in Humen as an official of Lin Zexu. This time coincides with the blessing here. -Shou-Gao, it should have been taken by Zheng Shishi when he robbed the Eagle Country Merchant Ship. At that time, most of the Eagle Country merchant ships that came to China shipped this stuff.
At that time, Eagle Country had just completed the industrial revolution and needed a vast market as a place to export goods, and Huaxia just met this condition. Since the luxury products such as tea, silk and porcelain produced by China are very popular in the European market, the people of Eagle Country hope that China can open trade, but the industrial products such as wool and woolen cloth exported by Eagle Country are not favored in China. Emperor Qianlong even I thought that China was short of everything and did not need to trade with Eagle Country.
This made the Eagle country’s trade in China damaged. At that time, the Eagle country used the gold standard monetary policy, while the Qing court used the silver standard as its currency. Since the trade with China needs to be converted to silver, the Eagle country needs to buy silver for trade purposes. As soon as gold and silver are bought and sold, the profits of Yingguo people suffer, and the high tax rate of 20% for Yingguo's goods to China is extremely dissatisfied. Finally, I figured out a way to smuggle a large number of special commodities-opium to China, in pursuit of high profits.
Due to the inflow of opium, China's annual silver outflow reached 6 million taels at that time. And to destroy Chinese people mentally and physically. This also attracted the attention of the Qing government and the people. The Qing government issued eight bans based on its own interests. Emperor Daoguang directly sent Lin Zexu as the imperial minister to go to Guangdong to ban smoking, which is the famous Humen to sell cigarettes. The Yingguo people regarded China's anti-smoking campaign as an infringement of private property, and felt that they could not bear it, leading to the outbreak of war.
The result of this war also caused the complete decline of the Qing government. Hong Kong Island was ceded to the Eagle Nation at that time, and the Eagle Nation was compensated for more than 20 million silver, causing a large amount of silver to flow out. Since then, China has gradually reduced from an independent country to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country.
To this day, China has zero tolerance for any drugs, and that is why.
A bet and a poison are absolutely untouchable.
Open four boxes in a row, there are all this stuff inside! Yang Meng looked more and more angry, and immediately wanted to throw it into the sea, but Xiao Peng stopped him: "The sea is not a trash can. Don't pour everything into it."
"Then how to deal with these things?" Yang Meng asked. "Besides, you just threw a piece into the sea."
Xiao Peng's old face blushed: "Don't care about the details. Take the rest and burn them. No, burning also pollutes the air. Uh, I have a way. I will go back and contact the director of the Palace Museum. Give him everything."
Yang Meng listened for a moment: "What are you doing? Do you want to keep these things if you don't destroy them? Why do you keep them?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "There are so many museums in our country, each divided into one piece and two pieces. It is also good to give everyone a patriotism education. Now how many young people know the history of the year? Let them see what we are doing in China Becoming decadent! See if they dare to take drugs?"
Yang Meng shrugged his shoulders and muttered softly, "You can die for whatever you want, and you won't stop smoking because you put out this one."
Xiao Peng said, "We don't stop them if they die by themselves, right? But the education that should be given should also go on, right?"
"Your boss, what do you say?" Yang Meng moved a few boxes aside, while Xiao Peng opened another box. As soon as he opened Xiao Peng, he whistle: "Wow."
When Yang Meng heard Xiao Peng's whistle, he hurriedly looked over his head, and saw that the box was full of scrolls, calligraphy and painting. Yang Meng took out a scroll and opened it to see that it was a painting with a few strokes of a weeping willow lotus. After looking at it for a long time, Xiao Peng pointed to the stamp on the scroll and asked: "Xiao Peng, inside. What is written?"
Xiao Peng took a look: "Oh, it says Bada Shanren."
"Bada Shanren? Which eight?" Wang Hu asked curiously when he came over.
Xiao Peng listened and patted his forehead: "You can't read the book normally? Bada Shanren is not eight people! It's a person! This person is called Bada Shanren!" After he finished taking the painting in Yang Meng's hand, he said : "It's not bad, the writing is simple and concise, Shen Yi, the image is exaggerated and strange, it should be the work of Bada Shanren."
Yang Meng was also interested: "Are these eight great mountain people really awesome?"
"Awesome?" Xiao Peng smiled, "This Bada Shanren can be called the master of Chinese painting, but compared to his paintings, his people are more legendary."
"Why is it legendary? Hearing this name is like a Taoist priest, is it a relative of the emperor?" Yang Meng dismissed.
Xiao Peng looked surprised: "You're really right! This eight great mountain man whose real name is Zhu Da, is really a royal grandson, the ninth grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang's seventeenth son Zhu Quan. After the death of Ming Dynasty, he shaved his hair. Monk, renamed "Xuege", together with Shi Tao, Rucan and Hongren, was called the painting "Four Monks". Later, I became a monk and became a monk, and then changed my career to become a Taoist priest. When I was 60 years old, I started to use the Eight Shanren wrote and wrote poems for his signature."
Yang Meng is not interested in whether Bada Shanren is a monk or a Taoist priest. What he cares about is: "Then is this guy's painting valuable?"
Xiao Peng thought for a while: "Actually, Bada Shanren was a very productive painter. When he was a monk, he lived in poverty and unkempt, drinking in a restaurant every day, and when he was drunk he would paint. Vice, any monk, Taoist, butcher orphan, whoever wants to paint with him, he will give it to him. There were still a lot of works circulating at that time, but the price was not too expensive. After he changed his name to Badashanren, he used to wander out for a while There are many paintings by visiting friends. Just like the National Museum of Asian Art in Xingtiao, there are more than 40 paintings of Bada Shanren in the collection."
Yang Meng curled his lips when he heard it: "It is said that things are precious, so is his paintings worthless?"
Xiao Peng shook his head again: "A good thing is always a good thing, and the price will not be affected by the quantity. A painting of Bada Shanren's bamboo and stone mandarin ducks was auctioned for 118.7 million yuan. And the price of imitating Ni Shanshui is also 80 million yuan. Above. Forget it, let’s just say that, whether Bada Shanren’s characters or paintings are basically tens of millions upwards."
Now it's Yang Meng's turn to whistle: "Let's see who else has it. I know this Shi Tao. Just now you said it was also a monk, right?
Xiao Peng smiled: "Yes, that's right, and he and Bada Shanren are still relatives."
"Also the prince and grandson?" Yang Meng was stunned.
Xiao Peng said, "Well, let's count it. He is the descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew. His father is Ming Dynasty Jingjiang King Zhu Hengjia. After Chongzhen's death, his father rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and was eventually destroyed. Shi Tao was young at that time and was taken care of by the eunuch. When he grew up, he became a monk and became a monk. He is also unique as a monk. He has given himself countless titles, such as Yuanji, Daoji, bitter gourd monk, independent old man, Ji mountain monk, blind monk, etc. In fact, it was him. In his later years, he would not be a monk at all, and he specialized in selling paintings, so he was considered a highly productive painter."
Yang Meng is smart this time: "But good things are always good things, so Shi Tao's paintings are also very valuable. Right?"
Xiao Peng smiled: "Yes, what you said is so right, Shi Tao's paintings started at 20 million."
Yang Meng suddenly opened the scroll and took out a book from the box: "Why are there books in it?" As a result, he opened: "I'm going, there is still a little yellow book on Nima?"
Xiao Peng was also interested when he heard it. Seeing Yang Meng holding a large silk picture album in his hand, Xiao Peng took a look, and took a breath as soon as he looked at the cover, his face was full of excitement: " Chang Tu? No wonder this set of albums has been lost! It turned out to be here!!"
Yang Meng looked at Xiao Peng's expression and was puzzled: "Isn't it the erotica picture? Is this still famous?"
Xiao Peng pointed to the inscription on the silk and said, "Do you know this name? Tang Yin! Tang Bohu! We have so many master painters in China since ancient times, and he is famous for his pictures of paintings! The ancient Chinese taboos fruit bodies, so China doesn't use fruit. Tang Yin is a body model, but Tang Yin is a pervert. He often uses his nostalgic mistress and JI female as models. That's why he painted so vividly and vividly. Now Tang Bohu's pictures are also handed down to the world, but such The disappearance of the large silk copy has long been lost! It is not easy to find it here!"
"How do you know this is not fake?" Yang Meng questioned.
Xiao Peng pointed to the picture album and explained: "The women painted by Tang Yin have their characteristics, that is, the'three whites'. The forehead is white, the tip of the nose is a little white, and the chin is a little white. Do you see this painting?
Yang Meng took the picture album and looked at it page by page. Suddenly a piece of drawing paper fell out. Yang Meng picked it up, looked at it, and handed it to Xiao Peng: "What's the matter with this one?"
Xiao Peng saw that it was also an painting, but the level of the painting was a bit bad, obviously not at the level of a master. Take a look at the following withdrawals: "Bao Zi and Mother Xiugu Exploring the Spring of Taoyuan Cavern"
Uh, Zheng Shi’s real name is Shiyang, and his nickname is Xiugu. This was when Zheng Shi and Zhang Baozi were having sex?
I rely on! Can't you see Zhang Baozai or Daqing Guanxi brother? sorry! sorry!
