Chapter 522
Su Yi just asked if they had sold a lot of cultural relics, and Zhao Gande talked about a lot of things about his family.
It seemed a bit off topic.
But he listened with gusto.
And he didn't think it was off topic.
If nothing unexpected happened, he probably knew what this young man who looked younger than himself wanted to do.
But then again, although the Zhao Song royal family was cowardly when they dominated Jiuzhou, their descendants were quite tough.
What this guy said was not groundless to flatter himself, but what his family had actually done.
After knowing the origin of this tripod, Su Yi specially invited relevant historians and archaeological experts in Jiuzhou to set up a special research group, and joined many big names in related industries inside and outside Jiuzhou to investigate.
The results of the investigation were basically the same as what the guy in front of him said.
It must be said that at least in terms of national justice, there is no problem with their Zhao family.
Stranded on an island in a wild land, dealing with natives who were no different from monkeys every day, it took a hundred years to finally gain a foothold and accumulate some wealth.
Want to go home but dare not.
After doing business with Westerners on the sea for hundreds of years, with their strength, they could have become the uncrowned king of that place if they wanted to.
But after encountering the scene of the sinking of Shenzhou at the end of the Ming Dynasty, they did not hesitate to interrupt their own development and fully support the Southern Ming.
But this is a helpless Adou, the person in power is not even as good as Zhao Gou. Obviously, he had a more perfect start than the Southern Song Dynasty, but in the end he was pushed and fled to the southwest mountains to associate with those barbarians, and was betrayed by others.
Hundreds of years later, it was not easy to develop a little better, but encountered the century-long humiliation of Jiuzhou.
This branch of them has always regarded itself as the orthodox of Jiuzhou, so naturally they cannot ignore it, so they gave up the great opportunity to develop the family and fully support Jiuzhou.
After the war, it was finally time to recuperate, but the bald eagle and the red giant bear were fighting for supremacy. In order to dismember John Bull's colony, they were all over the world with that set of national narratives.
The old Zhao family, who looked down on the barbarians and refused to integrate into the local area, completely destroyed them.
So much so that they had to sell their ancestral property and move back to Jiuzhou.
With such a great start, it finally developed like this. It is hard to say how capable this branch of the Zhao family is.
You say he is bad, but he once became the one and only existence on the large island of Nanyang.
You say he is powerful, but after developing for hundreds of years, he almost played himself out.
Although there were several times in the middle because of various unrests in Jiuzhou, they supported Jiuzhou and caused development to stagnate, but this is also the problem.
The unrest in Jiuzhou, isn't that a great opportunity for their old Zhao family?
They never thought about personally restoring the country every time, but just spent money to support it?
Is this what you said about waiting for the times to change?
There are too many points to complain about, Su Yi doesn't know where to start.
But no matter what, they are real Jiuzhou people, this is indisputable.
They have never lost in the cause.
According to the current official style of Jiuzhou, their Zhao family greatly assisted Jiuzhou in the war a hundred years ago. If they were willing to go back twenty years ago, they only needed to communicate with the official and they would definitely get great preferential treatment.
In that era when Jiuzhou was full of opportunities, with official support, they could make a comeback in a minute.
But they did not choose to do so. Instead, they returned to Jiuzhou under an assumed name, which made Jiuzhou finally find them after a long search.
"This is the list of people who have bought these cultural relics. Please take a look."
After Zhao Gande finished talking about his family's origins, he respectfully handed over a prepared list and explained:
"At that time, the elders in the family had no choice but to sell these family properties."
"And they deliberately sold these things very cheaply to avoid making too much noise and being targeted."
"You know, if the true value of those things is known to the outside world, I am afraid we will never have the opportunity to redeem them in the future. That's why we have recorded all the people who bought these things to avoid losing clues in the future and not being able to find these ancestral heirlooms."
Deliberately selling things at a low price to collectors with some money to solve the urgent problem, and then looking for an opportunity to buy them back later, this is a very smart decision.
Su Yi has already got a general list of the things sold at that auction.
It is no exaggeration to say that if the momentum was a little bigger at that time, the treasures above could refresh the highest transaction record of a single auction in the entire Blue Star in minutes.
Any item taken out of it is worth hundreds of millions, and the currency is Daole.
The Zhao Song royal family, which has been passed down from generation to generation until now, probably has countless good things in their hands.
If they sell it this way, although it can make their family rich in a short period of time, there is absolutely no chance to get these things back in the future.
It is different if they sell it cheaper. Most of the people who buy things back don’t know the real value of this thing.
Just like the rich man whose property was confiscated by the Nanyang government, he actually stuffed this Yanzhou Ding, one of the Nine Dings, in a simple basement.
It will not be difficult for them to redeem it in the future.
Su Yi glanced at the list he handed over, and then handed it to Su Meng who was standing beside him, and then said with interest:
"Your family shouldn't have sold all the treasures at that time? Do you have any left?"
"Yes, sir, yes!"
Speaking of this, Zhao Gande was no longer sleepy, and hurriedly took out a rectangular box from the backpack behind him:
"The ones sold are actually not the most important batch of treasures. The real treasures, the elders naturally dare not easily exchange them for money, otherwise they will not be ashamed to see their ancestors in the underworld."
"I can't bring much this time, so I brought a painting to Mr. Su as a gift."
As he said, he carefully opened the exquisite box in front of Su Yi and took out a white scroll from it.
With the cooperation of Zhao Wanshu on the side, the two slowly spread the scroll in front of Su Yi.
Seeing the content on the scroll, Su Yi couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
Because he knew this painting.
But the obvious spiritual fluctuations emanating from this painting are not like the painting he knew, but more like the magic weapons that Lin Yiran gave him.
This is...
"A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains?"
