Chapter 142 This Is Evidence Exposing the Criminal History of the Ming Dynasty
Chapter 142 This is evidence that reveals the criminal history of the Ming Dynasty
Ning Fan heard the news and shook his head.
"That's not true."
"Although this thing is a replica, it is still valuable."
"Um?"
No one in the live broadcast room understood what this meant.
What value can they have if they are all imitations?
Ning Fan explained with a smile.
“It’s not the genuine ones that are valuable, imitations are sometimes valuable too.”
"For example, the first running script in the history of the Xia Kingdom, the "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection", has never been seen since the Tang Dynasty. It is said that it was brought to the tomb by Li Shimin."
"It's just that the Zhaoling Mausoleum has not yet been opened, so no one knows the whereabouts of this copybook. The only thing that has been handed down is the Shenlong version that Li Shimin had someone copy using the double hook method."
"According to people who appreciated the original version of "Lanting Collection Preface" at the time, this version captured 99% of the essence of the original work. The only thing missing was that they saw the copying process."
After the words fell, everyone in the live broadcast room sighed.
"So cruel?"
They all know the process and difficulty of copying calligraphy and painting.
It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to copy the shape, let alone the charm.
But they never expected that the double hook version could reach this level.
They all expressed disbelief.
Ning Fan didn't care about this. Anyway, he gave examples just to illustrate the following things.
Seeing Baoyou all stop and come in, he continued to speak leisurely.
"Although this tooth brand is obviously fake, it still has its own characteristics."
"First tell me why you are so fake at first glance."
"Tooth cards evolved from the Tang Dynasty. Before the Tang Dynasty, they were tiger talismans. In the Tang Dynasty, the fish talisman was used to avoid taboos. Later, the turtle talisman was used for a period of time to avoid taboos."
'There are also requirements for the material. Gold is used for items above the third level, silver is used for items above the fifth level, and silver is used below the sixth level. In order to make it easier to carry, bags containing fish charms are specially issued, called fish bags.'
"Even if there is indeed a palace ban for the crown prince of Wei Zheng, it is a fish charm made of silver, and it cannot be made of such a square ivory material."
"That's why the first look is fake."
"As for making sense."
"This thing can study the criminal history of the Ming Dynasty, so it is of course meaningful."
After Ning Fan finished speaking, Tang Qisheng's eyes lit up and he asked.
"Master Ning, wait!"
"Are you talking about the criminal history of the Ming Dynasty?"
"Um."
Ning Fan nodded lightly, and everyone in the live broadcast room was completely dumbfounded.
How does this reveal the development of criminal history in the Ming Dynasty?
"This can't be obvious, right?"
Ning Fan smiled slightly when he saw the barrage, looked at the screen and nodded.
"Friend Bao, you are right, you can really see it."
Now all the friends in the live broadcast room couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths, wanting to hear what Ning Fan planned to do!
They had seen other things in the past, history, and other things, so they tolerated it.
After all, there are historical connections and other records.
But now, just such a single counterfeit waistband can reveal the criminal history of the Ming Dynasty. This is completely impossible!
They all wanted to see what Ning Fan was going to say.
Many treasure friends on the barrage said that as long as Ning Fan can speak out, they will definitely reward him.
It’s a pity that the rich people who bought Tai Sui just now have disappeared. Otherwise, if we don’t give rewards with dozens of rockets, we would be sorry for the background of this story.
However, Ning Fan didn't care and looked at the performance of his treasure friends and spoke calmly.
"Although this thing is fake, the ivory is real, the size is not a problem, and even the name on it is real."
"My dear friend, you may not have much idea about people's life in the past."
"The curfew regulations in the Ming Dynasty were clear. The evening drum was sounded at three o'clock in the morning and travel was prohibited; the morning bell was rung at three o'clock in the morning and the movement was prohibited."
"If someone is caught walking on the street during this period, they will be beaten forty times."
"In addition to the curfew, there are four situations where punishment is exempted."
"Disease, birth, death and mourning, going to court!"
"This regulation is actually useful for most people, but it may not be enough for some people."
Friends are a little curious about who is willing to go out despite the curfew.
After hearing this regulation, many people started asking about it.
"The man of lawlessness."
Ning Fan chuckled and said four words.
"Since ancient times, one thing has been the same. The most profitable thing is illegal activities."
"Especially in ancient times, the salt, iron, tea and horse businesses were all run by the government, and ordinary people had no way to get involved."
"But in this kind of monopoly business, as long as you get a little bit of it, it will be a hundredfold profit."
"So even if it's beheading, someone will do it."
"It's just that during the day there are too many people, and it's inconvenient to do things with all kinds of hidden signs and passers-by watching, so some people focused on the loopholes in the curfew."
"As mentioned before, there are four items that are not prohibited under the curfew."
"According to historical records from the Ming Dynasty, some people took advantage of the loopholes in the curfew to deliberately smuggle controlled items such as salt, iron, and tea."
"Some historical materials from the Ming Dynasty record that curfew inspectors discovered that someone had lied about curfew information."
"There is a story recorded in the Qing Dynasty novel "Qilu Deng"."
"Some people took advantage of the curfew to gamble. When they met the inspectors, they said they were taking a doctor to see a doctor. When questioned, they even took out prescriptions and medicines."
"The inspector scolded them for their behavior and called them "quackery", but they still let them go.
"It was later explained that the condition they lied about was heartache, but the medicine prescribed by the doctor was to clear away heat and reduce internal heat, and there were also honeysuckle and other medicinal materials in the house."
"It's just that most people don't have this kind of judgment, and they may really be confused after encountering it."
"Let's use the artistic novel "The Golden Vase" as an example. If the protagonist in it was not in a security management position, it would not be so simple to go to Goulan to listen to music at night."
"That's why this brand is so important."
"The fifth-grade civil servant can prevent most of the inspection personnel from questioning, but it will not be too ostentatious."
"And there must be a suitable reason."
"The position of Prince Xi Ma is just right."
"The position is high enough, I meet few people, and even most ordinary people don't know about it. At this time, as long as there is a toothpaste that can't go wrong, there will be no problem."
"There is nothing wrong with the carving of this dental plaque. It can even be judged that this thing was made by a craftsman who specializes in making dental plaques."
"In the Ming Dynasty, the person who could figure out such a clue was definitely not a simple person."
"If you think about it carefully, just making a brand, stealing imperial materials, communicating with palace officials, bribed court officials, and violating the curfew are all serious crimes."
"Not to mention the things that will be done after using this brand."
"I have put so much effort into it, but if I just smuggled a little bit of salt and iron, I might not be able to get back my money."
"If we dig deeper, it will definitely be an event worthy of being recorded in history."
"If this can't be regarded as the criminal history of the Ming Dynasty, then what else is?"
"You can't really rebel, right?"
After Ning Fan finished speaking, everyone in the live broadcast room finally understood. They looked at the sign and trembled, full of shock.
They never expected that a brand could hide so many secrets.
Looking at Ning Fan again, countless surprises flashed in his eyes.
