After all this work, Tang Ping finally returned to the good old days of walking his dog with a hawk, eating and waiting to die.
I send my children to kindergarten every day, and I can still take a nap when I return to the convenience store.
After getting up, you can either walk around Shanghe Village or go to your own special economic zone.
In the past, it was a special economic zone composed of Beiyan refugees, but now it is basically filled with middle- and high-income people from Datang.
After Datang's employees introduced a hierarchical system, there were many special-level employees working in the industrial park in the special economic zones.
Due to the success of the pilot project of this community model, Li Shimin replicated it several times around Chang'an.
Gathering some outsiders in this kind of community not only facilitates management, but also concentrates their efforts to complete some work.
For example, there is a community in Chang'an East that is specially set up for steam locomotives. It is full of people engaged in steam locomotive-related industries.
Because the children of these people live in the same community, it is easy for them to intermarry with each other, and because they have been exposed to it since childhood, the threshold for each generation to enter related industries will be lowered, and the inheritance will become easier.
Tang Ping sent his children to school that day and received a call from Li Aiguo.
"Professor Li, what's wrong?"
"Xiao Tang, the cultural exchange with Japan has basically been negotiated. Do you want to come and take a look? If there are no problems, we will hold a press conference."
"Okay!" Tang Ping thought this was a simple matter at first, but he didn't expect that the two sides had been fighting for several months, and the result was finally achieved today.
When we drove to the museum, Li Aiguo was already waiting at the door.
"Professor Li, why did you come out in such a cold weather?"
"It should be." Li Aiguo held Tang Ping's hand: "If it weren't for your help, Xiao Tang, how could we have brought those national treasures back so easily? Not to mention coming downstairs to pick you up, I would have just asked me to be your driver. You and I are both willing.”
"No, no, no!" Tang Ping said he didn't dare and followed Professor Li into the museum.
"Look, there are several new exhibits over there, all of which were recovered from Europe by your people, Xiao Tang." Speaking of cultural relics, Li Aiguo looked excited: "Several of them are national treasure-level cultural relics. They can all become treasures of our museum.”
Tang Ping followed Li Aiguo to the side. In the past, these things were hidden in many private collections overseas. Now they are beginning to introduce the history they have experienced to the Chinese people.
Seeing this, he felt that many of the things he did were full of meaning.
The two walked around the museum and then came to Li Aiguo's office.
Li Aiguo smiled sheepishly and said, "It's a bit confusing, Xiao Tang, don't suggest anything."
There were various documents piled up in the office. Tang Ping also smiled and said, "I haven't felt this way about being surrounded by knowledge for a long time."
"Hahaha." Tang Ping's words made Li Aiguo laugh happily, then he took out a stack of information and handed it to Tang Ping and said: "Here are the cultural relics that Japan is willing to exchange for. We selected them based on historical value, research value and market value." Three items came out.”
Tang Ping looked at the large stack of cultural relics information and said with some surprise: "Is the other party only willing to exchange three items?"
Li Aiguo's face turned red, and he said with some shame: "Yes, it was two items at first, and then after hard negotiations, it was settled on three items."
Tang Ping nodded to express his understanding. It was impossible for him to take out a cultural relic and then return all the cultural relics stolen from China.
In fact, he didn't know which cultural relic was more valuable, but he believed in the judgment of Li Aiguo and his team of experts.
So I just flipped through it and nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, that's it."
Li Aiguo and others also chose national treasures in the form of calligraphy and painting, including Li Sheng's "Reclining Tour of Xiaoxiang" in the Southern Song Dynasty, "Red and White Hibiscus" by Li Di in the Southern Song Dynasty, and "Landscape with Snow Scenery" by Liang Kai in the Southern Song Dynasty.
These things are collected in the Tokyo National Museum "Oriental Building", also known as the Asian Cultural Relics Exhibition Hall.
In fact, most of them are cultural relics snatched from China, but now there is no source label, only the label of Japanese national treasure.
"Okay!" Li Aiguo said excitedly.
Tang Ping nodded, and this matter was finally settled. Li Aiguo stood up again, held Tang Ping's hand and said, "I will inform the Japanese side now, and then both parties will hold a press conference first, and then conduct an exchange ceremony."
"I also asked Xiao Tang that you must be present at the press conference. After all, you are the owner."
"Okay." Tang Ping nodded. When he came here just now, he searched and found that the popularity of this matter had dropped very low.
The saying that the Internet has no memory applies everywhere.
Tang Ping considered the matter of recovering cultural relics a long-term undertaking.
So Tang Ping dragged the suitcase he started dragging in and opened it.
At first, Li Aiguo thought it was Tang Ping's luggage that he was going to take somewhere. When he opened it, he found a Buddha statue inside.
"What's this?"
Li Aiguo knelt down and looked at it, and said with some surprise: "Is this a bronze statue from the Asuka period?"
Although he is not an expert in this field, he has gained a lot of knowledge in this field recently because he had to negotiate with the other party because of the "San Jing Yi Shu".
He took out a magnifying glass and looked at the inscription under the pedestal of the Buddha statue: "I was born on the 18th day of the first lunar month of the year Bingyin. The doctor wrote a memorial to pay homage to the Korean wife named Ama Guyuan Nanmo."
After reading it, he thought about it in his mind. His hands shook and he almost dropped the magnifying glass.
"This...is this the missing bronze statue of Thinking Bodhisattva from Horyu Temple?" Li Aiguo looked at Tang Ping in disbelief and asked.
Horyuji Temple was built by Prince Shotoku, the elder brother of Yamabeo, and the year number written on the inscription happens to be the 14th year of Suiko, 606 AD.
Li Aiguo really didn't expect that this was another lost national treasure of Japan, and that it was just put in a suitcase and dragged all the way into his office.
"Well, it should be that one." Tang Ping said: "I took it over and asked Professor Li to have someone identify it. If it is genuine, I will bring it back in exchange for some of our national treasures."
This Buddha statue is now regarded as a national treasure of Japan, but the Fuso in Tangping is really common.
When he said he wanted this to pay for the 10,000 gu that Emperor Shotoku owed him for rent, board and lodging, etc., Emperor Shotoku asked someone to move it over to him without saying a word.
For such a bronze statue, Emperor Shotoku could immediately call for ten or twenty of them for 10,000 guan. Since Tang Ping was willing to spend 10,000 guan to buy them, why wouldn't he?
"If it's true, that's so awesome! You...how did you get this thing?"
Li Aiguo didn't know what to say. He even wondered if Tang Ping had gone to Japan to dig up the tomb of Prince Shotoku, or if there were missing Japanese national treasures related to Prince Shotoku. Did it appear from his hand?
"I robbed Prince Shotoku's son, Prince Yamagata," Tang Ping said with a smile.
"Hahaha, Xiao Tang, you are so funny!"
Li Aiguo laughed and shook his head. Then he carefully took the Buddha statue out and asked someone to protect it first.
Even if it is made of copper, it cannot be made like this!
"This bronze statue has not been lost since I was young. It is just for plot needs. You don't need to go into it."
