"If there are rags for sale! If there are foreign bottles and jars, I will buy them!"
…………
When he was in trouble, he took Li Jie through the streets and alleys. Although he yelled fiercely, he was actually very picky. He only collected a few old newspapers and two thread-bound books in the morning, and refused to accept anything else.
At noon, there was not a cloud in the sky, not a breath of wind in the sky, and the sun was blazing in the sky. Bao Pohou and Li Jie hid in the shade of the trees, sitting on the ground without any appearance, eating dry food and drinking water from the kettle.
"Boy, how are you? Can you see anything?" Bao Pohou stretched out his leg to touch Li Jie and said proudly.
"Tch, you have done it so obviously, do you still need me to say it? An expert gave me guidance ten years ago, but I was too young at the time and had no chance to get involved."
Li Jie curled his lips and glanced sideways at him: "It's you, the shabby boy. You must have secretly collected a lot of good things at that time, right?"
Bao Baohou chuckled and argued: "Why do you accuse someone of innocence out of thin air? I was protecting, protecting! Do you understand?"
Li Jie pretended to look at him with disdain, but did not correct what he said.
Since 1961, the government has promulgated the "Interim Regulations on the Protection and Management of Cultural Relics", which stipulates that all cultural relics with historical, artistic, and scientific value shall be protected by the state.
It stipulates that cultural relics are owned by the state, and legally, private individuals no longer have the right to collect cultural relics.
It was not until the promulgation of the new Cultural Relics Protection Law in 1982 that the rights to private collections were returned, but the right to purchase cultural relics is still a bit unclear.
The legal recognition of the sale of cultural relics will have to wait until after the millennium. In 2002, the government revised the "Cultural Relics Protection Law" again, clearly stipulating that citizens have the right to self-service personal collection of cultural relics, including but not limited to inheritance, donation,
Deal with it by legal means such as buying, selling, exchanging, etc.
Li Jie smiled and said: "Yes, yes, yes, you are just like Kong Yi in Mr. Lu Xun's works."
Ruo Pohou tilted his head and snorted: "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!"
Li Jie laughed. After getting acquainted with Shapohou, he realized that this guy was actually an old arrogant man. Although he refused to admit defeat, he had a good heart.
In fact, what he said was right. Those things were indeed a kind of protection when he got them.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, cultural relics have experienced two large-scale drastic changes. The first was in 1956 when more than a dozen time-honored brands in Liulichang completed a public-private partnership and became the "Cultural Relics Department of Handicrafts Companies" under the Ministry of Foreign Trade.
The main source of profit for this department was the export of handicrafts and jewelry. At that time, China was extremely short of foreign exchange. Handicraft companies and jewelry companies earned hundreds of millions in foreign exchange every year, among which antiques fell into the category of handicraft exports.
At that time, the cultural relics store set up three fixed collection points in Sijiucheng, namely Xidan, Liulichang, and Di'anmen. In addition, there were three mobile groups in the northeast, south, and southwest, collecting out of town all year round.
At the same time, export companies have purchase points all over the country. Because there was a slogan at the time, "Cultural relics are waste products, and old ones are encouraged to be exchanged for new ones." Therefore, many people would send cultural relics and antiques to the purchase points for sale to subsidize their families.
Without such a slogan, it would have been difficult for Li Jie to exchange 50 cents for the copper cigarette rod from Hou Su'e.
The vast majority of people in this era have little knowledge of antiques, and would never have thought that antiques would have collectible value. There are very few people like Admiral of the Nine Gates and Broken Hours.
Therefore, the business of the export company's buying station is very good. People collect antiques and antiques regardless of size or weight, but only cars. They can easily collect two trucks a day.
In addition to public-private partnerships, another large-scale upheaval occurred during the ten-year special period.
In the early days, the campaign to destroy the Four Olds was carried out vigorously. Antiques, monuments, calligraphy and painting, and books were the most obvious representatives of the Four Olds. It is unknown how many calligraphy and painting, ancient books, and porcelain scattered among the people were destroyed.
Many precious books, calligraphy and paintings were burned to the ground.
Rather than being smashed or torn apart, these things would be better off falling into the hands of a junkie. He is a person who truly understands cultural relics.
Broken hour is not an antique dealer, but an antique lover. He collects antiques not to wait for them to appreciate in value before selling them, but because he likes them.
Under the shade of the trees, the air suddenly became quiet. I put my straw hat on my face and walked directly to the stone.
Seeing that he was looking like he was about to take a nap here, Li Jie raised the corners of his mouth slightly and pushed the rug.
"Shadow Hou? Lord Marquis?"
…………
"Master Hou?"
…………
After being harassed for a long time, Shao Zhang could no longer pretend and said angrily: "What are you doing?"
"You go inside a little bit, I want to take a nap too." Li Jie chuckled.
"Get out!"
Although he was cursing and telling Li Jie to get out, his body was sincerely leaning in.
The sun was very strong, and even under the shade of the trees, the rocks on the ground were still warm.
Lying on the ground, looking at the cloudless sky, with the endless chirping of cicadas, Li Jie ignored the strange looks of passers-by. After so much, the opinions of outsiders could no longer shake his true heart.
This can also be regarded as a different kind of "using the sky as a quilt and the earth as a bed".
I didn't hear any movement for a long time, and I felt a little curious, so I secretly moved the straw hat covering my face and glanced at Li Jie without leaving any trace.
"Hi! Boy(zei)!"
"What?" Li Jie said calmly without moving his eyelids.
"In the afternoon, Lord Marquis will take you to expand your knowledge and see the real thing!" said Ruo Pohou bluntly.
When Li Jie heard this, he pursed his lips and smiled quietly. This was because he was dissatisfied.
The two of them walked around the streets all morning today and received nothing except a pile of old newspapers. The only basic thread-bound book they received was basically of no value.
Therefore, before having lunch, Li Jie teased the other party from pretending to be a bad person to being a real bad person.
It's been more than an hour, and Li Jie didn't expect that this guy would still remember it.
'As expected of an old arrogant girl!'
Li Jie secretly gave Shapohou a thumbs up in his mind and immediately answered.
"Okay! I want to see what kind of good product it is."
"Don't worry, I won't let you down." Bao Pohou smiled mysteriously, and finally added in his heart.
"It doesn't matter if you don't take your fancy. There are so many good things in the Marquis' house. I don't believe you can't catch them."
Li Jie let out a sigh. Although he had not known each other for a long time, he knew his temperament clearly.
Looking at the other person's confident look, could it be possible that there really is something precious this afternoon?
