Time Smuggling Starting from the Year 2000

The 286th chapter Venice scroll (2)

Xuan's cold sweat instantly wets his back. He thought that he hid his identity and belonged to the Lusong family. The other planes here in p112 all came from the needs of the Lusong family, and he seemed to be giving away the assets of the family.

If such a situation happened to Huang's family, the fund's first reaction would be to cancel the bonus, and then pay fines until the cancellation of inheritance rights and equity.

Almost instantly, Huang Xuan raised his head and said with an embarrassed smile, I'm the one who said too much. I can't control my mouth when I see a beauty. Originally, going to the library was my business, but I forgot Miss Chu's. The status of the management bureau... He sighed and said, If Ms. Chu is not a traveler of the management bureau, it will be more perfect.

Suspecting that once this kind of thing grows, it will not disappear easily, but Chu Yining just smiled and said: Then I will wait for you outside the library, and I will never go far.

If at school, if a beautiful woman said that I was waiting for you outside the classroom, Huang Xuan would dare to let the teacher's dove go immediately. Even if someone above the dean blocked the way, Huang Xuan would dare to climb out of the window. But when Chu Yining said these words, Huang Xuan felt like watching a movie. Cousin's brother-in-law's cousin's brother-in-law was a gangster and said: That guy, wait for me at the big playground tonight...

Suppressing his trembling voice, Huang Xuan squeezed out a little smile and said, Okay, let's go to St. Mark's Square first.

I secretly blame myself in my heart: get carried away. Huang Xuan originally remembered to talk less and read more, but when everything went well, he couldn't help showing a bit of capitalism. Almost got cut.

St. Mark's Square, built in the 9th century, is the oldest part of the city. It began as a haphazard market, then an orchard and a pilgrim's resting place. retired over time. Religious and political functions predominated. This project has been participated by many famous designers, and reflects Alberti's point of view: a place for people to rest should be built in the city.

The most notable sign here is the bell tower of San Marco, which is 100 meters high. This location was originally the watchtower of St. Mark's Square to monitor the lagoon that has become the inner harbor of Venice. It has undergone three reconstructions successively, and the last one has not yet happened on this plane.

The two sides of the bell tower echo the buildings such as the new administrative residence and the library, and the other end of it is the famous St. Mark's Church, which is the center of the whole city.

Seeing that Huang Xuan didn't use the plane base to search, but walked forward with ease, Chu Yining immediately asked, What era is this, are you familiar with it?

Huang Xuan didn't want to talk too much. Vaguely said: It is the middle of this historical period, and the buildings here have certain rules.

He said something casually, but attracted Chu Yining's attention to the nearby architectural style. Huang Xuan didn't understand that such questions are compulsory courses for senior travelers, and many senior travelers have a good level of knowledge. , Analyzing issues such as architectural style is not difficult for Chu Yining.

When Huang Xuan walked into the library, Chu Yining also knew with certainty the buildings here. There is no law that can guide the way.

...

In the library, a monk stopped Huang Xuan.

The public library of this era is quite different from the public library understood in the modern sense. It only allows a limited number of people to use books, and only allows them to read, not to borrow. The so-called limited people here, of course, refer to local or regional citizens.

Yellow people are naturally not among them.

The monk said in clear Italian: You cannot enter this library.

Of course Huang Xuan knew he couldn't do it. He shrugged and said, Okay. Then he said to Lorraine in a dark voice, Take down the things in this library.

is that useful?

Pretend to show people. Pepe contributes

Under the monk's guarded eyes, Huang Xuan walked out of the library and asked, How many books are there? He estimated the value of these pre-Renaissance books in his mind.

Big 400.

Huang Xuan was taken aback. This number sounds like it is less than the books in his home.

It was in 1455 that Johann Gutenberg of Germany published. \u003cThe Most Important Thing. Before that, the collection of books in Europe relied purely on compilation, and neither the quantity nor the capital investment could reach a satisfactory level.

The public library in this period is represented by Cosimo the Elder. The San Marco Library was commissioned by the architect Michelozzo to build it in the San Marco Monastery of the Dominican Order. All of its collections come from a A name familiar to Europeans: Nikoli, who died in 1455.

And the largest library in Europe during this period, the Vatican Apostolic Library built by the pope, until 1455, only had 353 volumes of Greek manuscripts, and Latin manuscripts.

Compared with the Ming Dynasty in a period of time, there were very few.

This also made Huang Xuan lose interest a little.

It’s not that old manuscripts are valuable. If you loot this library—theoretically, it’s easy to do, but the income you get, if the average volume of a book can be 100,000, it’s not worth it. At best, it’s only 40 million yuan. , maybe several times, but for Huang Xuan at this time, the attraction has been greatly reduced. Because looting itself consumes energy, and Huang Xuan has no interest in making ordinary profits. What's more, there is a small boss waiting for him at the door.

Chu Yining stood at the door of the library as expected, Yuli's figure was slim and charming, and many Venetians had already noticed this place.

Huang Xuan felt that the little boss of the management bureau in front of him seemed really not suitable for the life of a traveler. In other words, she is not suitable for too delicate work.

Perhaps solving problems with energy cannons is what advanced travelers do best.

Chu Yining did not ask about the work Huang Xuan had just done, but smiled and said, Shall we go to San Gacomo Square now?

Lorraine was able to analyze the high-level energy fluctuations that occurred near the traveler, but he was powerless about the fluctuations that were farther away.

Therefore, Huang Xuan didn't have much confidence in whether Chu Yining would understand him better, so he could only hope that he would make mistakes. Hurry up and invite this great god away.

Seeing more and more Italians coming over, Huang Xuan quickly walked down the library stairs and said, San Jacomo Square is the commercial street of this era, are you really interested?

You don't want me to see it? Chu Yining said with burning eyes.

Huang Xuan pursed his lips and turned his mind quickly: If you really want to go...

Then go. Chu Yining interrupted Huang Xuan directly.

Huang Xuan once again felt that coming here was not a good choice. .

San Gacomo Square replaced the commercial function of St. Mark's Square. In the 15th century+: it was the gathering point of Venice's commercial atmosphere. It not only has clothing stores, gold shops, business and tax offices, but also is close to the harbor. A sales shop with warehouses and ship owners. Venetians are proud to announce that people can buy goods from half the world here: wool, raw silk, cotton, salt, wheat, sugar, wine, wood, iron, copper, alum, honey, pearls, cloves, cardamom... …

indeed so.

There are still about 100,000 tons of grain stored in the channel of the plane, which Huang Xuan already had, but when he was with Chu Yining, he didn't know whether he should take it out.

Lu Min and the others are just ordinary low-level travelers, while Chu Yining is a high-level traveler who understands many things. Huang Xuan is not sure whether it is against the conventions of Rongguang to conduct such a transaction, or if he does not Such a transaction is not in line with the habits of Rong Guang.

This is

Huang Xuan kept recalling what he knew about the Lvsong family: brutal, powerful, and fond of simple ways. He doesn't know whether this understanding is correct, but judging from the current information, he can only understand it this way.

Looking back at Chu Yining, Huang Xuan smiled and said, Is Ms. Chu interested in the products here? This is the trading area of ​​this planet, and you can buy products from far away places.

Chu Yining was also observing Huang Xuan. The Lusong family was a rough Rongguang family, a little rougher than most Rongguang families, and the performance of this person in front of him was somewhere in between.

Attitude doesn't convey much information. Hearing Huang Xuan's question, Chu Yining chuckled softly and said, It's too far for me to go back. If I carry things, I don't think there will be much profit, and I don't carry much either. Supplies suitable here. What are you bringing?

The last sentence is obviously a temptation.

Huang Xuan chuckled, delaying the time and said: I didn't think carefully, but if you need anything, I can buy it for you. I brought some food.

This time, what he brought was not only food, but also standard food from the R plane, which is the general equivalent that travelers like to bring, and no one can fault it.

Chu Yining shook her head, and pulled down the brim of her hat a little to cover half of her ears, but she still couldn't hide her beautiful face, and passers-by couldn't help but stare at her.

Seeing that she didn't have any special reaction, Huang Xuan relaxed a little, and thought to himself: Travelers all rely on travel income from planes, so transactions are inevitably a big part of it. The plane of the tap collects taxes.

Thinking of this, he walked two steps slower, and said side by side with Chu Yining: Let's go to a nearby business..
