Chapter 1865: Keep a Line in Life

Fu Hengdao: "The Qing bow can penetrate leather armor at 110 meters, heavy arrows at 75 meters can penetrate chain mail, and heavy arrows at 50 meters can break plate armor. The firearm favored by the northern army in the Ming Dynasty was the three-eyed weapon. Guns. And most of the northern armies use three-eyed guns. The three-eyed guns have a very short range and can break double-layer cotton armor only about twenty meters. In the Ming Dynasty, it was the southern soldiers who used bird guns more often, that is, in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Soldiers, the one with the longest range is the Lumi Gun, which has a range of 150 meters, and the armor must be broken within 60 meters."

Yang Fei said: "The Qing bow is indeed the bow with the strongest range and lethality in the history of our country. It is more lethal than the light firearms of the Ming Dynasty at that time. I think this is the reason why the Manchus did not develop firearms. They used bows and arrows to win. Firearms, I became proud, I have always been proud of riding and shooting, and looked down on firearms."

Fu Heng said with a smile: "Yes! This is called the Cheng Ye bow and arrow, and the defeat Ye bow and arrow. The only light firearm that the Qing Dynasty valued was the carrying gun, which was two to three meters long. It usually required two people to operate it, and its limited killing range was two hundred rice."

Yang Fei asked: "Mr. Fu, can you tell which emperor used this bow?"

Fu Heng said: "I have seen the bow used by Qianlong in the museum. Qianlong used it to kill a big tiger, so there were words engraved on the leather to record his hunting achievements. This bow and arrow, and that bow It looks very similar."

Yang Fei said: "This was also used by Emperor Qianlong?"

Fu Hengdao: "An emperor cannot only have one bow and arrow. As far as I know, Emperor Qianlong owned 90 waist knives, and they were 90 royal knives that were personally supervised by Emperor Qianlong and made by the manufacturing office for 47 years. The waist knives, these waist knives are still collected in the museum.”

Yang Fei smiled and said: "Then he must have a lot of bows and arrows. But, how could the bows and arrows in the palace be spread to the people? And become their family's ancestral treasures? Even in times of war, such an emperor used It’s hard for weapons to be spread among the people, right?”

Fu Heng said with a smile: "I guess it was obtained by shoveling the land, and it is definitely not inherited from his family."

Yang Fei asked: "What is shoveling the land?"

Fu Hengdao: "Some antique dealers don't open their own shops, but go to rural areas to collect goods, or go around to raid ancient tombs, and then sell the items to various merchants. People in the industry call them guerrillas, and they are also called land shovelers."

Yang Fei understood what he meant and said, "Then how much is this bow worth?"

Fu Hengdao: "During the Qianlong period, one tael of gold was equal to ten taels of silver. If only currency exchange was performed, one tael of silver at that time was equivalent to 200 yuan today. This bow also cost one hundred yuan in that era. It takes two more taels of silver to make it. If converted to today, it is worth 20,000 yuan. This is just the manufacturing price, plus this is a cultural relic and it is used by the emperor.

It is very rare. This bow is estimated to be worth more than one million now! If you put it up for auction and someone likes it, it is possible to get a higher price. "

Yang Fei couldn't help but feel happy after hearing this.

Fu Heng asked: "Boss, how much did you charge?"

Yang Fei stretched out three fingers.

"300000?"

"30000!"

"Ah? You missed it! Such a good bow, even if you hire a master to make it now, it will still cost you 10,000 to 20,000 yuan! What's more, this is a royal item?"

Yang Fei smiled and said: "I feel very lucky too. Why didn't he offer a high price? I fell in love with this bow at first sight. Even if he offered a higher price, I would buy it."

"Bows and arrows are no better than others. Among weapons, bows are relatively worthless. Qianlong used a waist knife, which cost 800,000 taels of silver to make. If sold now, it would be worth at least tens of millions!"

"The more valuable something was in ancient times, the more valuable it is in modern times."

"Of course. The daily necessities of ordinary people in ancient times are still considered antiques today, but they are not very valuable after all. And it also depends on the dynasty, quality, quantity in existence, and whether it has scientific research value."

"The literature and entertainment industry is too deep. I have a lot to learn."

Fu Heng returned the bow to Yang Fei, and then reported to him about the Luo family treasure.

It turns out that many of the treasures of the Luo family have words engraved on them, such as "Luo Family Collection" and "Luo Family Collection".

Yang Fei pondered: "Mr. Fu, what should we do? After the exhibition, the Luo family will definitely come to visit. When they see the Luo family mark, what will happen again?"

Fu Heng said: "Boss, I have done an inventory. Most of the things with marks are not very valuable, such as gold and silver utensils. The ancestors of the Luo family would not be willing to damage real cultural relics and antiques."

Yang Fei smiled and said, "Well, let's pick out the ones that have marks and are not very valuable, and give them to the Luo family!"

Fu Heng said: "It's easy for you to give it to them, but if you give it to them, doesn't it mean you have robbed them of their treasure?"

Yang Fei said: "I got the treasure map and I found the treasures. I am giving them to them now because I am generous. They already knew that I was the one who designed to drag away those treasures, so they have been looking for them! Okay. They didn’t know how many rare treasures there were in the box, so I picked out some and gave them to them, which can be regarded as the most benevolent thing.”

Fu Heng said: "That's fine. Let's keep all the valuable ones! Even if some of them have the Luo family mark, they will have nothing to say when they see them. After all, you have generously given them some. It’s an antique.”

Yang Fei said: "That's the truth. It's better to stay on top of things as a human being."

Fu Hengdao: "Xiangjiang Sufubi Company will hold an auction. Do you want to participate?"

Yang Fei said: "Have you read the auction brochure? Is there anything worth taking a photo of?"

Fu Heng said: "What a coincidence, there happens to be a belt knife used by Qianlong, which is going to be auctioned. In order to check the information on that belt knife, I went to several museums and museums, and read many historical facts about the Qianlong period. So. As soon as I saw your bow, I knew it was from the Qianlong period."

Yang Fei said: "Is it the waist knife you just mentioned, the one worth tens of millions?"

"This waist knife may have a history. This knife was ordered by Emperor Qianlong himself and was manufactured by the Qing Palace Manufacturing Office. The handle is made of high-quality Hetian jade. The blade is gilded and carved. The blade is inlaid with gold, silver, and copper wire near the blade. There are floral decorations and cloud and dragon patterns, as well as a gold and silver decorative frame, with the royal weapon number engraved in it, and the Qianlong year mark on the other side. The production of this knife started in the 49th year of Qianlong and was not completed until the 58th year of Qianlong, which took a full 10 years. , costing 800,000 taels of silver."

"Tsk tsk, that's amazing!" Yang Fei sighed, "The life of an emperor is really extremely luxurious! A waist knife is enough to cover the annual expenses of a family of 100,000 people, right?"

Fu Heng smiled and said: "It can't be compared like that. The private jet you bought is worth hundreds of millions! How many years can it be spent by ordinary people?"

Yang Fei laughed and said, "Yes!"

Fu Hengdao: "The wine and meat in Zhumen are stinky, and the roads are frozen to death. No matter what era, resources and wealth are always in the hands of a few people, and the vast majority of people are just ordinary people. We must truly eliminate exploitation, eliminate polarization, and ultimately achieve common ground." Wealthy, I don’t know how many more years we have to wait!”

At this time, Chen Mo came in and reported: "Luo Yuxi is here."
