Becoming rich starts with a street stall

Department of Archaeology, Kyungju University.

Li Huachang helped the spectacle frame, looking at the only two students in the audience, Liang Jing and Zhang Ru, could not help feeling sad.

I think when he was studying in the Archaeology Department of Jingju University, there were dozens of people in a class, and hundreds of people in a department.It's good now, there are less than ten students in the entire archaeology department.

If this continues, it will be a question of whether the Archaeology Department exists.

Investigate the reason, it can only be said that it is because of this professional problem.With narrow employment opportunities and few opportunities to make money, fewer people come to study.Take a look at those popular majors, you can either go into official careers in the future or get into big companies and make money quickly.

Because there are only two students, Li Huachang's enthusiasm for lectures is also a little less.After a lesson, even a little dull.

"Professor Li, please stay."

Just as Li Huachang was packing up his things and was about to leave, Liang Jing stood up and shouted.

Li Huachang: "Liang Jing, what's the problem?"

Liang Jing: "Professor Li, I personally want to ask you to do me a favor."

Li Huachang happily said, "Oh? Tell me, I will try my best."

Liang Jing was also very happy to hear Li Huachang's words, and quickly took out the phone to find the photos Chen Dong had sent her and handed them to Li Huachang.

Li Huachang: "???"

Liang Jing: "Professor Li, a friend of mine asked me to ask you. I would like you to help you see what is special about this Xuande furnace."

Li Huachang took Liang Jing's phone and began to look through it.

At the beginning, I was not surprised, but when I turned to the last picture, my eyes were wide.

Li Huachang: "Liang Jing, tell me, where is your friend?"

Seeing Li Huachang who was suddenly agitated, Liang Jing was also a little surprised.

"Professor Li, this person's name is Chen Dong. He said that he came to Jingzhou this time because he wanted to bring the Xuande furnace to the Appreciation Program."

"There is no value on that kind of show, can you contact him? I want to see that Xuande furnace myself."

"No problem, he is about to visit you too."

After Liang Jing finished speaking, he quickly called Chen Dong.

Chen Dong, who received the call, was at the gate of Jingzhou University with Chen Xi by his side.

The reason why I brought Chen Xi to Jingzhou University is to let her feel the atmosphere of the university campus in advance. Chen Xi usually has good grades. If there is a chance to come here, the future will be boundless.

"Brother, the building of Jingzhou University is so old."

Walking into the school gate, Chen Xi looked at some buildings around and couldn't help but say.

"What do you know, this is called cultural atmosphere. Jingzhou University was founded in 1898. It was originally called Jingshi University. It is the first national comprehensive university in modern China. It has been more than 100 years and has a long history. "Chen Dong knocked Chen Xi's head and said.

Ling Ling Ling...

The phone rang for a while, and Chen Dong saw that the caller ID was actually from Liang Jing and quickly picked it up.

"What? Professor Li wants to see me?"

Chen Dong was also a little surprised when he heard Liang Jing's words.

"Yes, Professor Li wants to see the Xuande furnace in your collection."

Liang Jing said on the phone.

"No problem, I will bring the Xuande furnace."

Looking at a suitcase in his hand, Chen Dong said.

"That's great. In this way, I will send you a position. Come here."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Dong opened WeChat and saw that Liang Jing had sent the location.

I have to say that the current mobile phone map is really convenient. If it was before, Chen Dong didn't know when to find Liang Jing, but now with the navigation reminder of the map, he came to the Archaeology Department in a few minutes.

When I first saw Li Huachang, Chen Dong was a little nervous.I didn't expect to see this legendary figure in the archeology world so soon, and he was kind and eye-catching, not like a university professor at all, but more like a neighbor's uncle.

"Professor Li, this is Chen Dong." Liang Jing quickly introduced.

Chen Dong hurriedly stepped forward and proactively stretched out his hand: "Hello Professor Li, your name is already familiar to me. I didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet you. It's a great honor."

Li Huachang chuckled: "Chen Dong, you don't need to flatter me. What else is my old man who is not famous? By the way, did you bring that Xuande furnace?"

Chen Dong: "Bring it."

After speaking, Chen Dong opened his suitcase to reach for the Xuande stove.

Li Huachang: "Don't move."

Chen Dong: "???"

Li Huachang sighed: "That's how you usually take it?"

Chen Dong: "Ah..."

The black line on Li Huachang's face, the feeling this guy doesn't understand some basic common sense of Antique.

Li Huachang took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket and brought it to his hand, carefully moving the Xuande furnace out of the box.

Then he took out a magnifying glass from his pocket.

Chen Dong and Chen Xi looked at Li Huachang in surprise. They really didn't know where so many things were in this guy's pocket.

Li Huachang was silent and looked carefully with a magnifying glass, especially the inner wall of the Xuande furnace.

"call......"

After watching for more than ten minutes, Li Huachang stood up and let out a sigh of relief.

"Chen Dong, where did this Xuande furnace come from?"

Chen Dong: "I bought it at the flea market."

Li Huachang: "Is it convenient to say how much to buy?"

Chen Dong smiled: "Two hundred thousand."

When Chen Dong said two hundred thousand, Liang Jing and Zhang Ru were shocked.

Unexpectedly, a small Xuande furnace is so valuable.

Li Huachang laughed when he heard the number of 200,000: "Chen Dong, your kid is a big bargain. If my estimate is good, this should be the first generation of Xuande furnace, and it may even be the first Xuande to come out. furnace."

Chen Dong: "???"

Li Huachang pointed to the inner wall of the Xuande furnace and said to Chen Dong, "Did you see the words on it?"

"There are more words?"

Chen Dong was confused, and quickly took the magnifying glass in Li Huachang's hand and looked at it.

"There are really words!"

Through the magnifying glass, there is a very small letter "Lu" engraved in it.

"Lu Zi!"

Li Huachang: "Yes, it is the Lu character that makes this Xuande furnace valuable."

Liang Jing: "Why Professor Li?"

Li Huachang chuckled: "This is a long story. Let's start with the history of Xuande furnace."

During the reign of Emperor Xuande of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di’s grandson, in order to satisfy his hobby of enjoying incense burners, he ordered the import of a batch of red copper from the Kingdom of Siam. Design and supervise the styles of famous porcelains such as Ru kiln, Guan kiln, Ge kiln, Jun kiln and Ding kiln, as well as historical books such as "Xuanhe Bogu Catalogue" and "Archaeological Diagram".

Lu Zhen was the chief responsible for the manufacture of Xuande furnaces. In order to ensure the quality of the incense burners, Lu Zhen told the emperor tremblingly that in order to make a good incense burner, copper had to be refined six times.Do it once, less, and after six times, only half of the raw materials will remain.Emperor Xuande had a wealth of wealth and a strong sense of fine products. He immediately decreed that the number of refining was not reduced, but also doubled, and precious metals such as gold and silver were added.So the craftsman selected dozens of precious metals such as gold and silver, and went through more than ten careful castings together with red copper.After huge efforts, the best copper incense burner was finally made successfully in Xuande for three years.

A total of 3,000 Xuande furnaces were built at that time, but these Xuande furnaces only had a bottom width but no extra words. Although your Xuande furnace does not have a bottom width, it has a Lu character carved on the inner wall.

So I suspect that this was made by Lu Zhen himself...
