Chapter 306 Memorial

Among the people in the group, Xiao Gao listened the most carefully, and he was the one whom he envied the most.

As a senior student, I face great pressure and have to go out to society to work hard. I always think that I can make a living in the antique industry and not do some internships like my classmates, which earn only 3,000 or 2,000 yuan. On the one hand, the low income is the hard work.

As you can see from the performance of the other three buddies in the dormitory, a guy was even scolded and cried.

This phenomenon made him very confused about the future and was afraid that he would end up like that.

If you can make some achievements in the antique industry, it would be different. In this industry, huge profits are one aspect, and freedom is his pursuit.

Like before, if you buy a few paintings by yourself, it will be equivalent to working hard for one or two years for your classmates.

Therefore, he is particularly eager for the appreciation of antiques. He watches every live broadcast of Brother Hu and studies some of his analysis in depth.

The other buddies in the dormitory did not understand his approach, and felt that he was crazy and did not consider the actual situation at all. Wanting to get rich overnight with antiques is simply a daydream.

However, after persuading him a few times, this guy still did his own thing, so they gave up and ignored this guy.

While taking everyone away, Wen Wenhao introduced that a considerable part of the buildings here were actually rebuilt and not passed down.

"Now, how many old buildings are there in authentic flavor? It's not surprising!" Andy Lau was not surprised.

Even many so-called ancient towns, old streets, and buildings are many of them are antique buildings. It is not surprising that a building is completely preserved, but a street is full of ancient buildings, which makes people question it.

"Indeed, there are not many ancient buildings in China in such a country. There is a used book stall there, let's go and take a look." Wen Wenhao took the lead.

The old book stall is a bit big, more than ten or twenty meters long, full of old books, ancient calligraphy and paintings, etc., and there are also many customers.

Among them, a considerable number of them were books from decades ago, and many were from after liberation. There were fewer ones before the Republic of China. You can see that there were many books of Liar Hu introduced before, and several lines were arranged in densely.

"I was here last time." Shentu Xin smiled.

After saying that, he squatted down and began to look for the old books he liked. He disdained those prints. Although some prints were valuable, they were still very rare.

"Hey! My friend, you will recite this book!" One of the stall owners said.

That’s right! This stall is not a stall owner. Three or four people look at them. Judging from their appearance, they are probably brothers. The whole family is counting on this book stall for dinner, right?

The person who read the book of the villain was a middle-aged man wearing military training uniforms and liberation shoes. This military uniform was bought by his son when he was in college. When his son said he wanted to throw it away, he took it back and wore it himself. Throwing it away wasted and it cost money!

I have to say that China's military training is really a formal thing.

What can I do after training for a few days? How many young people can improve their physical fitness? No, right? Cultivate patriotism? Is there any? On the contrary, because of military training, buying military uniforms, etc., it only takes a few days to wear it, causing great waste.

The man smiled embarrassedly and felt embarrassed. He took out five dollars and put the book in his bag.

Five dollars per book is indeed not expensive. He is a comic book collector. The one just now was originally a set of them. He collected several books, but he didn't expect to meet another one today.

"What's this thing called?" Andy Lau saw Xiao Gao pick up something, which he often saw in costume TV series.

"Memorial!" Xiao Gao replied.

"Yes, I didn't expect to see it now." There was a saying that was held in Andy Lau's heart and didn't say it - I don't know if it was true.

After being with Brother Hu for so long, he has seen that almost all valuable things are fake. This memorial should be easier to fake, right?

Xiao Gao opened the memorial and wrote about disaster relief matters. There were two seals next to it, one of which was used by the emperor and the other was the seal of the cabinet minister.

The calligraphy is regular and the officialdom is very scent.

"What dynasty is from?" Wen Wenhao came over and he also took out a note.

However, as soon as I saw it, I curled my lips and put it back. I knew it was not a treasure, garbage!

"It's from the Qing Dynasty! There is a seal from the cabinet." Xiao Gao replied.

Hu Yang smiled and said, "There were cabinets in the Ming Dynasty. The chapter that really distinguished the age should be the emperor's one, Qianlong's one."

In fact, the cabinet thing appeared in the Tang Dynasty.

However, at that time, the cabinet had no actual power, and its functions were only to manage documents and recommend talents. Their officials were often the Grand Secretary of the So-and-Secret Palace.

In the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet became different. The cabinet began to become the emperor's consultant and assisted in handling memorials, etc. The cabinet ministers had an important influence on the emperor's decisions by approaching the emperor.

In the Qing Dynasty, the power of the cabinet was further strengthened, and it was the highest administrative body of the central government, which praised the emperor and took charge of major policies, and was the place where the national key points were gathered.

"Also, the memorial originated in the Qing Dynasty and did not. Everyone was misled by watching TV series, right?" Hu Yang couldn't help but smile.

Even I was shocked when I knew that the memorial was only found in the Qing Dynasty.

As soon as these words were spoken, the live broadcast room immediately started to riot, full of doubts.

"No, right? It was only found in the Qing Dynasty?"

"The TV series is too unrigorous, right?"

"No! History books seem to..."

...

Andy Lau and others were also shocked. Unexpectedly, the memorials were only available in the Qing Dynasty. After all, the TV series I watched before, such as the Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, and emperors, were all memorials.

Hu Yang told everyone that the officials of the Ming Dynasty used memorials and not memorials to submit memorials.

"That's the same thing!" Andy Lau said.

"It's almost the same! To put it bluntly, it's a report. However, the memorials and notes of the Ming Dynasty were usually made of precious silk as the base, and then the matters that he had to report were mounted on it. On the surface, it looked as rich as an imperial edict. The color was not bright yellow, but based on his own official title, including red, blue, green and other colors." Poplar explained.

After the Qing Dynasty entered China, the local areas where the silk weaving industries were prosperous, such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang and Sichuan, suffered unprecedented impact. Chengdu, the production base of Shu brocade, was simply white. There were thousands of Shu brocade weaving patterns, but only one was preserved, and the others were burned. The weaving households also died in eight out of ten, which led to a great collapse of the silk weaving industry at that time.

Not only the officials' uniforms cannot be weaved and dyed, but even the silk used for "Thank you memorials" is gone, so from Shunzhi, a cheap writing carrier such as "Memorials".

"You may not know that because of the destruction of the Qing Dynasty, until the end of the 19th century, our country's silk weaving industry did not recover to the level of the Ming Dynasty."

Tsk tsk!

After hearing this, everyone scolded the Manchus again, which was simply harmful to others!

"However, the memorial is a good thing, which is that it is high efficiency, which is a kind of improvement. This memorial looks pretty good," added Hu Yang.

After the memorial was created, the Qing court formulated a complete set of confidentiality standards, which gradually improved the memorial standards, and also eliminated the transmission of some central links, greatly improved administrative efficiency, and brought an active impact on the politics of the Qing Dynasty.

So, this memorial was really from the Qing Dynasty? Brother Hu said it was good, it should be good. Xiao Gao's eyes lit up and he asked the stall owner: "How to sell it?"

"Fifty yuan per book, not many more."

“It’s expensive, it’s cheaper.”

"Everyone said there weren't many copies. Before you, I sold several copies at this price." The stall owner refused to suffer a loss. No matter whether he was a real person from the Qing Dynasty or not, since he could sell the first fifty yuan, of course he refused to lower the price.

Especially when I saw this young man’s desire to buy, I became more confident, and I was determined to be priced, looking like I didn’t have to worry about selling: I would like to buy or not!

"I want all these books, so be cheaper!" Xiao Gao was a little bolder and actually wanted to eat them all.

Of course, he won all of them without spending a lot of money. Even if the others are fakes, he would not lose much.

"Then let's get five yuan cheaper each!" The stall owner thought about it and said that if he wanted it all, he might as well be cheaper and do business!

"Ten dollars!"

The stall owner shook his head: "If you want to spend ten yuan, it would be 60 yuan cheaper and several kilograms of pork, no."

OK! Xiao Gao gave the money a little painfully and took down all six memorials.

Wen Wenhao shook his head slightly and gave this guy a wink, but he pretended not to see it, and was very depressed.

"You haven't read the other books, and you will suffer a loss sooner or later." As he said that, Wen Wenhao pulled out the one he had just read and opened it for Xiao Gao to read.

Xiao Gao was also a little stunned when he saw it.

Through Andy Lau's camera, the audience in the live broadcast room also saw the content of the memorial and burst into laughter. Even after they saw the thing, they knew it was a fake!

The memorial reads: The wife of Qin'an County Magistrate's wife is full of love!

Damn!

This trivial matter must be reported to the emperor. It seems to be fake no matter how you look at it.

The stall owner did not pay attention to Hu Yang and others, and continued to greet other customers and bargained, and the business was pretty good.

Just when everyone thought this memorial was fake, Hu Yang shook his head and said, "This memorial was from the Qing Dynasty, but it was a garbage memorial. Such memorials were not uncommon in the Qing Dynasty.

In the Qing Dynasty, not officials had the power to submit memorials to the emperor. Some officials who had the right to submit memorials had no important reports, but they did not want to waste the opportunity to get close to the emperor. What should they do?

I had to write some trivial things, which is pretty good, at least involving information about officials. In history, some memorials have been even more funny.

For example, Kangxi received a memorial from the Fujian Navy Admiral: Report to the emperor, there was a woman in Taiwan.

If you are the emperor, you may want to hit someone when you see this thing."

Andy Lau and others were stunned when they heard this.

Is there such a thing?
