Happy Tycoon

Chapter 183 Doze off and Someone Brings a Pillow

If it is replaced by 2017 before time travel, then New Youth magazine has a history of more than 100 years.

The significance of this set of magazines does not lie in the long history of its founding, but in the significance of the existence of this set of publications in those years.

As Mr. Hu Shi commented on New Youth, it is one of the few newspapers that have influenced the course of Chinese history.

That's right, although this set of publications has only been published for eleven years, the New Culture Movement failed to complete its historical mission, and New Youth has always had mixed reputations in later generations. But it is undeniable that this set of newspapers has made immortal contributions in criticizing the patriarchal autocratic society of China for more than two thousand years and promoting China's transformation into a modern society.

In later generations, there are still many New Youth publications preserved in major libraries or museums, but a complete set of 11 volumes and a total of 63 issues of New Youth have been preserved. It seems that Yang Jing knows only So a very limited number of people. Of course, some collectors may still have a complete set of New Youth, but since it has not been made public, it is enough to prove the preciousness of this set of publications.

In fact, it doesn't matter how much this publication is worth, the key is that the historical status of this publication is too important.

It is no exaggeration to say that the significance of this set of publications in later generations is definitely far more than those five pages of Song and Shu engravings!

This is the enlightenment publication of China's new culture movement and thought, do you think it is important?

Chen Duxiu, Li Dazhao, Qu Qiubai, Lu Xun, Hu Shi, Liu Bannong, Qian Xuantong, Zhou Zuoren, Shen Yinmo, Mao Dun, Gao Yihan, countless well-known and even well-known celebrities have left ink and ink in this set of publications, even Grandpa Taizu also wrote a lot of articles and published them in this publication!

Do you think this publication is powerful? Do you think this set of publications is important?

SO, this set of New Youth must be won! Yang Jing thought silently in his heart.

Although this decision was made, Yang Jing still didn't understand how such a precious publication would appear in such a place? And it still appeared in piles, as if the museum or library that originally collected this set of publications was cleared out because of moving.

Huh? The museum is moving? Thinking of this, a memory suddenly popped up in Yang Jing's mind.

Yang Jing once read a piece of literature that can be called a fairy tale. It said that in the Panjiayuan in the 1990s, there was a phenomenon of precious literature, old books, and precious manuscripts in a crazy period of time.

This piece of information comes from Mr. Wang Jinchang, a famous collector in Yanjing. He once wrote in a memoir that he was looking for those precious manuscripts and documents at the Panjiayuan flea market in the 1990s.

According to Mr. Wang, in the 1990s, which is the era that Yang Jing is now traveling through, many precious celebrity manuscripts, documents, publications, and old books suddenly appeared on the Panjiayuan flea market. Once, Mr. Wang bought a large bag of letters and materials from Panjiayuan. When he was loading them into the car, the car driver was very puzzled, and said how much this broken piece of hemp can be sold for, and your parking fee is only ten yuan today. ah! When he returned to the unit, the newly replaced guard saw that he was not dressed properly, and carried a torn sack in his hand, saying that he would not let him enter the hospital. Later, a colleague came out and explained that he was the leader of the unit. The guard was very surprised and muttered, Then why is he picking up the trash?

In fact, how can others understand that this trap contains deep culture and history.

After picking up trash for more than 20 years, Wang Jinchang became a veritable rich man. Now he has the manuscripts of political celebrities such as Taizu, Premier Zhou, Chen Yun, Li Xian/Nian, etc., and there are countless manuscripts of cultural celebrities such as Lu Ding/Yi and Zhou Yang. The most important in his collection are the materials of modern revolutionary history. He has more than 1,000 pieces of revolutionary cultural relics, such as a large number of Chinese Soviets, documents of the Soviet Area during the period of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, early party newspapers, party periodicals, letters from the Red Army, military and political documents, etc. Letters etc.

Many people collect things from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, because those things are valuable, and they can be sold for hundreds of thousands or millions at auction, but I think it is very meaningful to collect the history of our party. This is what Mr. Wang once said.

In fact, in the circle of cultural scavengers, Mr. Wang is not yet a BOSS level power, the real power is the famous Mr. Zhao Qingwei Zhao.

In Panjiayuan, in Yanjing, and even in the whole of China, when the name of Zhao Qingwei is mentioned, anyone who collects manuscripts, publications, and documents will give a thumbs up to praise this legendary figure in the circle of cultural scavengers .

The trick of Mr. Zhao's collection is to develop informants among the major waste stations and cleaners in Yanjing. Dong Qichang's album, which he is most proud of, was obtained through an informant. It is said that a front-line person found that the old books handled by a family were more valuable. Mr. Zhao felt that this was not an ordinary family, and told the informant to keep an eye out, not to miss a piece of paper. When the family moved, the informant bought all the waste products for him. When Zhao Qingwei saw the album cover made of huanghuali wood among the waste products, his eyes were straightened. It turned out to be the original manuscript of Dong Qichang, a great calligrapher and painter of the Ming Dynasty, worth more than one million yuan.

In fact, this is just an interesting incident in Mr. Zhao’s cultural scavenging business. Mr. Zhao has been engaged in cultural scavenging for nearly 30 years. Through this business alone, he has collected tens of millions of pages of various precious manuscripts, many of which are written by Lu Xun. , Mao Dun and other famous scholars' manuscripts.

In the circle of cultural scavengers, this Mr. Zhao is the top power.

The reason why a large number of precious manuscripts and documents suddenly appeared in this era is surprisingly simple, which makes people feel incredible, helpless and even sad.

It turns out that in the 1990s, the reason why a large number of precious manuscripts and documents suddenly appeared in Yanjing antique markets such as Panjiayuan Flea Market, Liulichang, and Baoguo Temple was because during this period, the major archives in Yanjing When the government, museums, libraries, and major institutions moved, a large amount of materials were abandoned. All these abandoned materials went to the waste collection station, and then they were bought by dealers and brought to these antique markets for sale.

Manuscripts such as the preface to Ba Jin's Truth Collection and Qian Zhongshu's Guan Zhui Pian flowed out of Zhonghua Bookstore like waste products.

And in 2003, the Literary and Art Research magazine cleared out 33 boxes of things and refused to open the boxes for inspection, with a price of 33,000 yuan. At that time, Mr. Zhao Qingwei bought it decisively for 30,000 yuan after learning about it. After opening the box, he was pleasantly surprised to find that there were manuscripts of famous people in the box. Those yellowed pieces of paper were written by Li Keran, Shi Lu, Fan Zeng, Wu Guanzhong, Bing Xin, Li Keran, Wang Meng, Xia Yan, Huang Yongyu and others...

Also, in the 1990s, when Yenching’s library began to engage in computer retrieval, it threw away a large number. A young librarian actually threw out a whole set of New Youth published during the May Fourth period. , while retaining today's Youth Digest.

Could it be that this set of New Youth is a good thing done by that young librarian? Yang Jing thought to himself. He knew that the complete set of New Youth was finally bought by Mr. Wang Jinchang at the price of buying scraps. If this set is the one in Mr. Wang Jinchang's collection, wouldn't he have cut off this collector's Hu? ?

Fuck his sister! Whoever he is, if a buddy saw this set of New Youth today, then he is the buddy's!

As for whether he intercepted Mr. Hu Wang, Yang Jing didn't feel any guilt in his heart at this time. In this era, there are countless precious manuscripts and documents leaked from various institutions, archives, museums, and libraries.

An old stall owner who has been in Panjiayuan for many years once said that he sold as many as several truckloads of precious manuscripts and literature alone!

What is this little thing in front of me!

Thinking of this, Yang Jing asked the stall owner calmly: Boss, how do you sell these magazines?

Seeing that Yang Jing paid attention to those waste products, the stall owner felt a little reluctant.

If you don’t read so many old books here, you have to read those “trapped ones”, what do you think?

Perhaps it was because of this reluctance that the boss's tone of voice became much indifferent.

These things, these things are not only for sale, but also for a piece. If you want it, it costs two yuan a catty!

Yang Jing was taken aback!

Those precious manuscripts and documents were bought by the collectors of later generations at the price of scrap products. A precious manuscript worth more than one million in later generations is sold by the catty in this era! At first Yang Jing heard this kind of legend as a joke.

He really couldn't believe how such precious manuscripts and documents could be sold by buying junk!

But the stall owner's words made Yang Jing completely believe that those were not jokes, they were real!

Seeing that Yang Jing didn't speak, the stall owner felt a little guilty. He bought these things from scrap yards at a price of 30 cents a catty, and sold them for 2 yuan a catty. In his mind, it was a real profit.

Could it be that the owner thinks it's expensive? The boss muttered in his heart, and was about to take the initiative to lower the price, when he heard the young man flipping through the trash ones and saying, Okay! Two yuan a catty. Two yuan a catty, how much do you have here? I'll cover it all!

When Yang Jing said this, he forcibly restrained himself from screaming excitedly.

He was too busy watching the set of New Youth just now, but he didn't read the following, but now he flipped through the following, and guess what it was?

Yang Jing's eyes almost went straight!

This is part of the manuscripts of Master Lu Xun's Picking Up Flowers in the Morning and The Collection of Huagai, huh? Another copy? Damn, this is part of the manuscript of Master Lu Xun's Scream!

God, what is this? This is the manuscript of Master Mao Dun's Praise of Poplar, Rayon, and Earth, Mountains and Rivers!

Huh? Is this the manuscript of Kang Youwei's Book of Great Harmony?

Hey, this is Master Guo Moruo's manuscript of Praise to the Sun, as well as the manuscript of Phoenix Nirvana, and the manuscript of Green Grass in the Suburbs, and

Ah! This is.

Although Yang Jing was calm at this time, it seemed that a super typhoon of level 18 was blowing in his heart!

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Yang Jing would have thought he was living in a dream.

These manuscripts are all written by those masters. If they are left in later generations, it would be a steal to take out a random copy! But here, it turned out to be about stacking! And the price is actually on the basis of jin

There is no reason for this **** sister? Could my luck be any better?

These well-preserved precious manuscripts kept appearing in Yang Jing's eyes, and the more Yang Jing looked at them, the more panicked he felt in his heart.

How sad this is! Just because some people's corpses are vegetarian, they don't understand the preciousness of these precious manuscripts and documents, and they sell them as rags!

Fortunately, these precious things were finally bought by domestic collectors, and the fat water did not flow abroad, but isn't this a very sad thing?

These stacks of manuscripts and documents are absolutely authentic. Even if Yang Jing does not activate the identification skills, he can still clearly feel the surging humanistic aura emanating from these manuscripts and documents!

These are the cultural heritage left by the Chinese ancestors! But it was treated as a piece of junk by some people and this stall owner

If he didn't buy these things, Yang Jing wouldn't forgive himself.

Buy! Buy them all! Even if you spend all your money today, you still have to buy them!

As soon as Yang Jing gritted his teeth, he raised his head and said to the boss very affirmatively: Boss, I've praised all of these things!

When the boss heard this, his face immediately beamed with joy!

He just picked up these things from the scrap yard yesterday afternoon, and they weigh more than two hundred catties. If they can be sold at two yuan a catty, they can earn more than three hundred yuan just for these rags. Woolen cloth!

Being able to make money makes this street stall owner full of motivation. According to Yang Jing's request, he neatly wrapped the piles of trap with kraft paper, and then tied them with ropes for weighing. It became Yang Jing's.

Sir, how do you transport these things? How about I help you transport them? I have three wheels here, and they can be pulled away with one cart.

Hearing the thoughtful words of the boss, Yang Jing was very satisfied, and said with a smile: Okay, you can help me transport it away, and I will give you twenty yuan for the fare.

But if it's too far away, it won't work. If it's too far away, I won't be able to deliver it.

Don't worry, it's in the duty room at the door.

Oh, you said there is old money, it's no problem. The boss started to move the wrapped junk on the tricycle, and moved them all up in a few minutes. The boss and the side A stall owner said: Liu Zi, help me to support me, I will deliver some things to the customers and I will come back.

Come on, don't worry! The owner of the booth next to him was quite enthusiastic.

The boss pedaled three rounds, and Yang Jing walked beside him. Anyway, it's not far from here to the door.

The boss asked: Sir, how do you transport things to Laoqian? Oh, by the way, Laoqian is the gatekeeper. We are all familiar with it.

Yang Jing told the boss that he entrusted Lao Qian to take care of his things because he had no place to put his things. He also told the boss that he wanted to rent a house nearby. up.

Hey, you should have said this earlier! My family lives in Warwick West in the west, and I happen to have a wing room vacant. If you want to rent it, I can set it up for you at a lower price.

Hearing this, Yang Jing was also happy, it was really a pillow when he fell asleep.

Okay, boss, if you really have a vacant room in your house, I can rent it. But I can only rent it for one day, and I have to leave at night. I rent this room to hold things.

I understand this. As soon as you said that you want to rent a house, I will understand what is going on. Don't worry, if you rent my house, I will guarantee the safety of the things you bought. The guy in my family has just been laid off and he is fine at home all day long. , with that woman watching, you absolutely don't have to worry about safety.
