Chapter 750 sharpening knives
Yoshihiko Noda was talking nonsense at the beginning, but later, he became more and more confident with his words. After repeating the lie a thousand times, it became the truth. ∽↗, x.
What’s more, his analysis of this pottery figurine is not wrong. Although the colored pottery figurines that everyone has seen so far are all from the Northern Wei Dynasty, who can guarantee that there will be no colored pottery figurines in the Han Dynasty?
After all, the time between the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Han Dynasty was not very long, that is, a hundred or so years, and although the Northern Wei Dynasty was a dynasty established by the Xianbei people, they all became Sinicized not long after they established the dynasty.
The language and living habits they used were almost the same as those of the Han people at that time, so of course they inherited the habits of the Han people in terms of tombs.
For example, they like to put some pottery figurines in the tombs, which means that when they reach the underworld, they can also enjoy the service of these servants. This custom is inherited from the Han people.
This habit of the Han people originated at the end of the Warring States Period, and it was once carried forward in the Han Dynasty.
Because the people of the Han Dynasty had the tradition of thick burial, the dignitaries of the Han Dynasty, when they died and were buried, would bury a lot of gold and silver treasures together in their tombs, as well as objects they liked during their lifetime.
Because the people of the Han Dynasty believed in the reincarnation of yin and yang, when they were buried, of course, they had to bury some funeral offerings.
In those days, it was absolutely impossible to use human sacrifices, and the terracotta warriors and horses fired by Qin Shihuang were too expensive, so they created the kind of samurai servants with half-human height, and Knight figurines.
Of course, when they were buried, such samurai servants and knight figurines were buried with a few meanings. After all, like Qin Shi Huang, burying an army to accompany him to the underworld to continue to be emperor is not something that anyone can afford.
Such warrior terracotta figurines have been unearthed in the historical materials about the excavation of Han tombs previously recorded in China.
In general, there are fewer in the tombs of dignitaries, while some are more noble, especially in the tombs of nobles with military merit.
So now Mitsui is in front of them. The appearance of so many warrior figurines and knight figurines is not against harmony. The only thing that can be regarded as suspicious is that these warrior servants and knight figurines are actually colored.
But now that Yoshihiko Noda said that, Mitsuwa Takawa, who was still a little suspicious at first, can be said to be all suspicious at this time.
After all, he had seen the bricks and tiles of the Han Dynasty before, and the two Yao-changing Tianmu bowls that Junichi Watanabe had sold to him earlier, he was subconsciously. A concept has been formed, that is, the things in the hands of this Watanabe Junichi are basically real, there are no fakes, this guy still has some skills and abilities.
So subconsciously, in fact, he had long believed that these pottery figurines were funerary objects unearthed from the ancient tombs of the Han Dynasty nobles, but after Mitsui Mitsui raised his doubts, he still lacked a reasonable explanation.
Now there is such an explanation by Noda Yoshihiko. He immediately accepted this statement logically.
At this time, Mitsui Guangliang, like Mitsui Takawa, began to be inexplicably happy.
Originally he worked as an archaeologist. In particular, the curator of the Tokyo National Museum should be cautious in the identification and excavation of this new antique.
It’s a pity that he was originally a scumbag. According to his true ability, he is just a second-rate appraiser.
But before, he teamed up with his brother to secretly plot against Yoshihiko Noda. He was expelled from the position of director of the Tokyo National Museum, and then with the help of the Mitsui family’s fame, he boarded the throne of the director of the Tokyo National Museum.
For so many years, staying in such a high position, dealing with various dignitaries every day. Not only did his academic ability and appraisal ability not improve at all, but it also deteriorated a lot.
Now Noda Yoshihiko directly denied his suspicions, and he didn’t dare to ask the slightest question in front of Noda Yoshihiko.
After all, although he has calculated Noda Yoshihiko from the position of director of the Tokyo National Museum, he can still trust Noda Yoshihiko’s ability.
He is also a classmate from high school to university with Noda Yoshihiko. He has been with Noda Yoshihiko for so long. Noda Yoshihiko’s ability in archaeological demonstration and antique identification has actually established a kind of incompetence in his subconscious. Rebuttable image.
Therefore, when Noda Yoshihiko categorically said that these colorful warrior figurines and knight figurines were a new kind of archaeological discovery, his original doubts suddenly became clear, but he doubted Noda Yoshihiko’s judgment at all. No.
A new archaeological discovery, colorful warrior figurines and knight figurines, such a discovery has advanced the age of colorful figurines in China by more than a hundred years.
Maybe the Chinese haven’t declared this discovery yet? If we Japanese announced this discovery in advance, how would the Chinese feel?
Haha, maybe a bunch of Chinese archaeologists will fly from China to Japan for so few terracotta figurines. Do we want to let them see?
Even if you promise them that they can see it, you can make some demands with them at that time. For example, some national treasures that they have been keeping in their domestic brooms, can we certainly invite them to show them in Japan?
Even if it’s borrowed, hehe, as for the cost, that’s another story.
These Chinese people are really pitiful. They can’t even protect the treasures handed down by their ancestors.
And if you have done such a brilliant thing, you may have to show your face in Japan at that time. When the time comes, those dignitaries in Japan will not have to go to the poles to find their own friends?
And the improvement of his own status is also of great benefit to his elder brother in the family.
Thinking about it, Mitsui Mitsui thought too much, and in a blink of an eye, he glanced at his eldest brother Mitsui Takawa, who just happened to turn his gaze towards him.
As soon as the brothers met their gazes, they understood each other’s meaning. Today, these pottery figurines must be taken down.
The brothers thought that their communication was very secret, but they didn’t expect that their every move would fall into the eyes of Watanabe Junichi and Noda Yoshihiko.
Just when the two Mitsui brothers exchanged glances, Junichi Watanabe and Yoshihiko Noda completed a wink exchange, but the meaning of their exchange was very simple.
After reading these things, then continue backwards, after all, there are still several boxes behind, waiting to be opened.
If the contents of those boxes leak out, hehe, today the Mitsui brothers wash their necks and prepare to be stabbed.
At this time, Watanabe Junichi was already sharpening his knife in secret, and Yoshihiko Noda was of course the role of handing him a sharpening stone beside him.
At this time, Yoshihiko Noda had already stepped aside, and Mitsui Guangliang and Mitsui Takawa came to the front of the pottery figurines. His older brother, who is half a bucket of water, popularized the characteristics of Han Dynasty pottery figurines.
“Noda-kun, that’s almost it. Don’t open the remaining boxes. If I do, I really can’t bear such a responsibility.”
“Hey! Mr. Watanabe, we’ve already come here anyway, and we’ve seen everything in front. What’s the difference between the things in the boxes in the back and the ones in front? Are you still afraid that Mr. Mitsui will not come out? Do you have any money?”
The dispute between the two quickly attracted the attention of the Mitsui brothers, and only then did the two see that Noda Yoshihiko had come to the front of the not-so-big boxes in the back, holding a crowbar in his hand, and it seemed that he knew He wanted to open the boxes and take a look.
This time, Watanabe Junichi stood in front of the boxes, separating Yoshihiko Noda from the boxes.
Judging from the look on his face, it seems that he is very concerned about the contents of these boxes, and the more he pushes three and four, the other side, Noda Yoshihiko, seems to be interested in October.
After seeing the dispute between the two, Yoshihiko Noda was not the only one who was interested in these boxes. The Mitsui brothers were also quickly attracted by these boxes.
Today, Watanabe Junichi has brought them too many surprises.
From the first two observable Tianmu bowls, to those exquisitely crafted Chinese bricks and Chinese tiles, then to these terracotta figurines of knights and warriors, as well as terracotta figurines of some servants, this has explained a lot. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
These things must have just been unearthed recently, and they must have come from a place where ancient tombs of the Han Dynasty were very concentrated, and of course they may have come from many places.
But one thing is very important, that is, this Watanabe Junichi must have collected a lot of antiques from the Han Dynasty, and looking at the quality, they should have been used by the dignitaries at that time.
Now he is so nervous about those boxes, does that mean that the things in those boxes are far more precious than the treasures they see now?
Thinking of this, the hearts of the two Mitsui brothers were throbbing, and they could no longer remain calm.
“Watanabe-kun, you see that our transaction has already progressed to this point, are we still missing the last few boxes? Okay, Kato, come here, and then give this Mr. Watanabe’s account number three calls. Tens of millions of dollars, even if it’s our deposit for the next transactions today, how about it? Mr. Watanabe, do you see our sincerity now?”
Mitsui Takawa said confidently looking at Watanabe Junichi. (To be continued.)
