"Okay, just order a few photo frames if you like, and hang them up when the new home is decorated. You are the hostess, these It's up to you. I'm still busy here..."
"Wait a minute, Yuliang..."
"What?"
"I want...to develop two small pictures, make them into small photo frames, and put them on your and my desk."
Zhang Fangyu said a little cautiously, fearing that Hua Yuliang would refuse: "Although we took them Certificate, but not many people know about it, and are not prepared to take care of it..."
"I think Is it possible to let everyone know slowly in this way..."
"...If you feel bad, forget it, just keep it at home..."
"This It's a good idea." Hua Yuliang smiled and said, "Give it to me after you finish it."
"Well."
"Then I'll hang up first? There's still a while here."
"Hang up."

… …
After this congress, Feng Changan from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau was transferred to the Bureau of Statistics and was promoted slightly.
My father is still the director of industry and commerce, and there are already rumors that the country has begun to adjust its management methods and implement vertical jurisdiction in taxation, public security, industry and commerce, and justice.
This is actually a very clever move. It strengthens flatness, clarifies authority, streamlines efficiency, reduces local interference, and achieves decentralized supervision.
There is another thing that has not been mentioned publicly, which is to increase the cost of corruption-the county's affairs can no longer be solved by just going through the county.
That night, Zhou Zhi returned home from his evening study and found that a rare "guest" from his father's work came to the house.
After the "guest" left, Zhou Zhi asked: "Dad, who is that?"
My mother said angrily: "Secretary Zhang from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, I called you when you had the operation. As a result, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau couldn’t send a car. In the end, your uncle Guan asked Isuzu from the Sugar and Wine Company to send it. Have you forgotten?”
Zhou Zhi smiled and said, “Maybe it was the car at that time. I have indeed arranged to go out. After all, it is normal for sudden emergencies at night."
Dad has already taken out the iron plate and prepared to engrave the roll paper: "Yes, that's what I told your mother, this secretary, "I was too careful."
Zhou Zhi secretly laughed. It was not that he was too careful, but someone couldn't take him away from the Bureau of Statistics. Of course, they themselves were unwilling to go there.
But I can't say this: "I don't think I blame Uncle Zhang for being too careful. The main responsibility for this matter lies with you, dad."
"Oh? Tell me your reason."
< br>"Dad, you are a secretary in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. Let me ask you, what kind of secretary is a good secretary?"
"Your dad is a good secretary!" My mother immediately gave her husband a flag: "Back then, Director Wang was doing nothing, but your father was not in charge of everything..."
"What about now? Dad was in charge of his secretary. Is there a chance?" Zhou Zhi asked: "As far as I know, dad basically writes the materials himself. How can this make Uncle Zhang feel embarrassed?"
Dad's stylus stopped involuntarily.
“So I guess it was Uncle Feng who really gave Uncle Zhang a chance to display his talents, right?”
“Dad, even if Uncle Zhang’s writing skills are not as good as yours, you I have to let others write it. At most, I can help with the revision. Just change it.”
“How can anyone not know how to handle those routine documents after a few times?”
“I think only leaders who can make their subordinates realize their own value can do it. A truly good leader.”
"In this regard, you should learn from Uncle Wang and Uncle Feng."
"So this is the truth..." Dad finally realized: "I finally understand what's going on..."< br>
I dare to say that I still don’t know why the people below want to break the seal of heaven.
I couldn’t help but sigh secretly in my heart. This is pretty much what my dad has been doing all his life. He changed the topic: "Where is grandma?"
"There are guests at home, so grandma will go in first. Sleeping.”
Zhou Zhi walked to the third sister's room and asked in a low voice: "Grandma is asleep?"
"No." Grandma spoke first from the bed: "My dear grandson is back from studying?"
< br> "I'm back. Grandma, please go on sleeping. I'll come over and give you a report so that you can "Sleep well."
The third sister said: "This issue of "People's Literature" has arrived. It's strange. There is a writer named Zhou Zhi who also writes about Sichuan."
" "Really?" Zhou Zhi said, "Let me take a look."
Coming out of grandma's room: "Dad, where is the new issue of "People's Literature"?"
"Oh, by the way, I was about to ask you, you haven't submitted an article to "People's Literature", have you?" Dad asked .
“It’s so possible, what’s the threshold?” Zhou Zhi shook his head: “You wouldn’t dare to lend me a hundred more courage.”
“I think so too, that article is very powerful. , the level of knowledge covered is both deep and broad. I’m afraid you can’t reach it with your current knowledge.”
“What kind of article is this awesome?”
"The author has the same name as you. The article borrows from a travelogue to explain the profound impact of farming civilization on Sichuan. In fact, it also uses this aspect to explain the profound significance of farming civilization to the Chinese nation."
"What? ?" Zhou Zhi quickly opened the impurity catalog: "Huh?"
"How about learning toad?" My mother said with a white smile, "You can do it well for me!"
"Dad, Mom, this "Travel Notes of Wangcong Temple" is indeed I wrote it."
"What?"
"I also took this photo. It's Sister Chi. Can't you recognize it?"
"Show me!" Mom grabbed the magazine and said, "Oh, it's true! I usually do it on the show They all wear their hair in a bun, and I didn’t recognize it when I put my hair down!”
“Where is the original manuscript?”
“This...” Zhou Zhi didn’t understand. Why Dad has been obsessed with this problem: "When I came back from Jingcheng, Sister Chi said that she would entertain us to go out and play. We happened to have a car. I thought Sister Chi was the host, and I was afraid that I would be in trouble if I went to a crowded and lively place. I suggested going to Wangcong Temple.”
“On the way back, Sister Chi forced me to write a travelogue, so I wrote one and gave it to her.”
"I didn't expect that she would submit me to "People's Literature", and "People's Literature" actually got it published."
"The article... the article quoted an ancient poem at the end... what is it? Back!" Dad's voice was trembling.
"The snow in Minshan is clearing the chaos and the clouds are flying, and the cuckoos are singing on the jade barrier. When I look at the tomb in the green bushes, I can see the green pond of Pingshui. I am tired of opening rivers and opening up land, and I am weeping with blood as I guide the fields to cultivate the land." The ruins of the bricks are lying under the streets today, and there are still people nearby. Is this what Dad is asking about? ...Ah, yes! Then let me ask you, who wrote this poem? It was written.”
"I'm asking who the original author is!"
"...? Me?"
"...? You?"
Dad was dumbfounded and stared. Zhou Zhi watched for a long time and suddenly picked up the phone receiver: "Don't worry! Let me call your godfather first!"
......
...
Early the next morning, not long after Zhou Zhi entered the classroom and started reading, Boss Xu walked in with a serious look on his face: "Zhou Zhi, come out."
Mu Ru beside him Jiang Shuyi began to worry about Zhang Xinyi behind Yun He, and it seemed that his elbow had finally hit the muzzle of Boss Xu's gun.
Zhou Zhi obediently walked out of the classroom. Xu Youzhi thought about how to word his words: "Yesterday's "People's Literature", there was an article, which is a combination of travel prose and historical essays. The subject matter is quite novel... You... Have you read it?"
"Teacher Xu, the article "Travel Notes to Wangcong Temple" was written by me."
"It's really you!" Xu Youzhi was surprised and delighted: "It's really you who wrote it!"
He reached out and patted Zhou Zhi on the shoulder: "Why didn't I listen to you?! When did I submit it?! "
"I didn't vote for it. I gave it to Sister Chi after I finished writing. She should have voted for me... I think with my skills It’s mostly a matter of luck...it may have been done by the provincial and Taiwan authorities..."
"The bigger possibility is that the genre is novel and meaningful, which is good."
Xu Youzhi. Now I see how this kid is pleasing to the eye: "It's a national publication, it's so popular..."
"Thanks to Sister Chi for urging me to write it out."
"Your humble attitude is worthy of praise." Xu Youzhi continued to pretend to be calm: "Go in and read early. I am now Go find Principal Zhao.”
"Oh."
When Zhou Zhi returned to the classroom, Jiang Shuyi whispered from behind: "Zhou Zhi!"
Zhou Zhi leaned his back and held the book without turning his head: "Yeah."
Jiang Shuyi leaned forward and her voice was as low as a mosquito: "What did Boss Xu ask you to do?"
"Nothing. He saw an article and asked if it was written by me."
Fountain pen cap poke poke poke from Came from behind, this time it was another mosquito: "Did you use a pen name?"
"No."
Poke again: "Then Boss Xu doesn't know the name after seeing it. Is it you? ”
"He's afraid of having the same name."
"Oh, was that written by you?"
"Yes."
"Zhou Zhi, you are so awesome! "Bashu Literature" again? "
"No, this time it's "People's Literature""
"Which one is more powerful than "Bashu Literature"?"
"Well...the ones with those two words these days are the most powerful. For example..."
"People's Daily?" "
"No, RMB..."
The poke came again: "You are so proud!"
……
……
“Which one is more powerful, the People’s Literature or the Bashu Literature?”
“Secretary, those two words are used these days. , one is first and the other is awesome! One is a national publication and the other is a provincial publication, they are two different things.”
The same question and answer is also being held in the secretary’s office.
"What's good about this article?"
"Secretary, do you still remember a documentary a few years ago that caused an uproar?"
"You mean..." "That documentary The documentary once asserted that 'Blue Civilization' will surely defeat 'Yellow Civilization', with a clear stance of counter-traditional culture and removal of Chinese characteristics, triggering extensive and heated discussions."
"So?"
"My Gan'er article is a clear-cut objection to this argument! He is telling everyone that those who have not deeply understood the origin and process of our national civilization have no qualifications to judge us!"
“Those who have read this article will have a clearer understanding that our advantages lie in our tenacious and lasting vitality, our consistent insistence on the concept of peaceful development, and our long and rich history. Historical experience.”
“Compared to the gambling, profit-seeking, plundering, and short-sightedness created by blue civilization, this is the absolute advantage of yellow civilization!”
Hua Yuliang’s expression became serious. Picking up the article and reading it again, I was quite confused: "Old Wu, aren't you trying to exaggerate your worth for that kid? Are you sure that's what he meant in the article?"
Chapter 84 Good stuff< br>
"That's it." The godfather was as happy as a Halloween pumpkin: "Even if you can't read this level and just treat it as a historical science popularization and travel essay, it is still a good article."
" Secretary, let me tell you, this guy is very good.”
Why do I need you to tell me? ! I have personally experienced it, can I tell you? !
The godfather didn't notice Hua Yuliang's expression, and his proud expression betrayed his modest tone: "The county must publicize the reward for this matter, and it should be said that it should be taught and taught. "
"But one of them is his godmother and the other is his godfather, so we have to avoid suspicion after all."
"It's a good thing anyway, Secretary, I think it's better to leave it to you."
"Okay, Zhao Shangzhong will have a report on education reform in a few days. I'm going to listen to it. It depends on how the time is arranged.”
……
……
It should be said that although Zhou Zhi’s article was published, although the publication level has been raised to the national level, its impact is not as good as that of others. The two articles I wrote about my grandmother were sensational.
Firstly, those two articles are the first time a "writer" appears in Jiachuan, and secondly, there are bonuses from related historical events and cultural relics.
Even the second lady who works with women and children stopped calling to show concern.
Zhou Zhi suspected that the second mistress was going to break her promise and get fat. The previous bold statement of "the second mistress will reward you as much as your royalties" was limited to the first and second time.
Are you kidding me? If you take writing a book as a career, my second wife will have to compensate you for the rest of your life? !
The red envelope given by Miss Sixth Sister was quite scary, five thousand yuan.
In Jiachuan these days, five thousand yuan is a hundred months' salary for many workers.
But Zhou Zhi also knows that in a few years, the money will no longer be so valuable.
How to preserve value?
Now is the tail end of China's first big bear market. If you buy stocks, you will definitely make a lot of money in the next three years.
But in Jiachuan, a securities window has just opened on Ma Street, which is deserted and crowded. Moreover, Zhou Zhi is not even qualified to open an account because he is not old enough.
If I entrust my mother to open an account and exchange 5,000 yuan for stocks, it is estimated that the old Zhou family will really be broken.
Other than that, it seems that there are really no channels for middle school students to invest.
Suddenly I thought of the box under Mr. Yu’s bed downstairs. Hey...
When the school and playground on the top of Zhongnan Mountain were being built, a lot of good things were unearthed in Jiachuan. , but people at that time did not know the value of those things, and were even afraid of being contaminated with bad luck. The best fate for those cultural relics was to be dumped into the Yangtze River.
Zhang Xiaoyu once picked up a jade bracelet by the river. Finally, he and his friends who were traveling together broke it into three pieces and divided each person into one piece.
I got a beating when I got home, you naughty kids, why don’t you split the money after selling it!
I heard from Zhao Xiaoyu that the bracelet can be sold for fifty yuan.
A Hetian jade bracelet costs fifty yuan, and if you put it aside from now on, there is no hope of adding another ten thousand yuan.
Of course, even if you are looking for items, you have to be particular about it. If you look for pottery figurines, brick carvings, jades, teeth, etc., the value will not increase.
Take Hetian jade as an example. Old items do not soar as fast as new items.
Because the country prohibits circulation, there is no room for speculation, and the price will not rise for decades.
Only two things will double in value - porcelain, calligraphy and painting.
You have to ask your fourth cousin for this matter. He has many friends in this field.
I called my fourth cousin, who asked Zhou Zhi how much money he could afford. Zhou Zhi gritted his teeth and said six thousand.
On Saturday morning, my fourth cousin called again. He found the things and came to choose them.
select? Are you so arrogant...
My fourth uncle's house is not far from Zaoling Bridge. When Zhou Zhi arrived, there was already an old man waiting in the reception room.
The old man wore cloth shoes, a linen shirt, and round reading glasses from the Republic of China period. He looked like an old rural teacher.
The fourth cousin asked Zhou Zhi to stay in the side room on the left, and said to the old man: "I have to earn your trust. The old rule is that the buyer and the seller do not meet each other. The people have already arrived, so you can count all these things. , I let the buyer look at the things and make a counter-offer."
The old man retracted his hands into his sleeves, and the fourth uncle reached into his sleeves and touched them twice: "Sir, please step back."
< br>
The old man retreated to the side room on the right, and then his fourth cousin waved to Zhou Zhi.
Zhou Zhi walked over. There were two jars, a plate, a small wildflower, and a scroll on the table.
“Let’s take a look at the goods.”
Zhou Zhi was dumbfounded, knowing that good things are everywhere now, but...but...this is too exaggerated!
The two jars are in the shape of lotus leaf lid jars, one with plum green glaze and the other with blue and white glaze.
Zhou Zhi had seen the plum celadon-glazed lotus leaf lidded jar from the Longquan kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty unearthed in Suizhou, Shuchuan for several days through the glass room of the museum.
Although the current jar is much smaller than that one, judging from the shape, glaze, tire opening, and sole features, it is still the same thing as the large jar!
The blue and white dragon pattern jar has bold and smooth lines, which is the early blue and white painting style of Jingdezhen Kiln.
Judging from the glaze color, it is obviously Suma Liqing. The surface glaze is white glaze, and the white glaze turns green. The place where the glaze accumulates is duck egg blue. The edge of the foot ring is light aqua. There are two types of glazes: small and large. Bubbles, but very few medium-sized bubbles.
If you can’t run away from Houyuan, it will be early.
The wildflowers can be seen clearly when opening the door, because the glaze shapes are very special - Kangxi official kiln, Langhong.
The remaining plate is almost as good as the two large jars in age, but the style on the back is extraordinary, it is from the official kiln, and the name should be called the blue and white lychee pattern nest plate from the official kiln of Ming Yongle.
When the scroll was opened, the picture was very simple, with a dead lotus and an old stork with fried feathers on the lotus. The old stork still rolled its eyes, seeming to look down on the swaying stork among the water waves in the corner. turtle with tail.
You don’t even have to look at the inscription to already know what this thing is, a painting by Zhu Da, a member of the Eight Great Masters.
This is crazy...
I don’t know if it’s the Longquan kiln plum green glaze lotus leaf lid jar from the Southern Song Dynasty or the Yuan Dynasty;
I don’t know if it’s the Jingdezhen kiln blue and white dragon pattern lotus leaf lid jar from the middle Yuan Dynasty or the early Ming Dynasty;
Ming Dynasty Yongle official kiln blue and white lychee pattern nest plate;
Qing Kangxi official kiln Langhong small garlic sprouts;
Ming Bada Shanren Zhu Da's "Light Turtle on the River"!
"Seller..." As soon as he started to speak, he realized that his voice was hoarse: "Ahem, how much does the seller offer?"
The fourth cousin pulled out a few pieces of letter paper, took a brush and wrote the prices on them, respectively. Put it in front of everything.
The green jar with plums costs six hundred, the blue and white jar costs one thousand, the blue and white plate costs six hundred, the garlic sprouts cost three hundred, and the painting is expensive, one thousand.
When writing the prices, the fourth cousin’s left index finger pressed the paper, and when he wrote the prices of the plum green jar, blue and white jar, and scroll with his right hand, he clicked twice on the paper respectively.
This is to help Zhou Zhi cheat, what the fourth cousin meant, these three are all good things.
In Zhou Zhi's opinion, nothing is bad, but the blue and white plate and wild rice came from the official kiln. The fourth cousin thinks that their price-performance ratio is not as high as the other three.
After thinking for a long time, Zhou Zhi picked up the letterhead on the front of the two pieces of official kiln porcelain and handed it to his fourth cousin, indicating that he would not read it.
Then use a pen to write three hundred, five hundred, and five hundred under the plum green jar, blue and white jar, and scroll.
The fourth cousin nodded and asked Zhou Zhi to continue looking at a few items. He took the list and went to the right compartment to discuss with the old man.
After a while, the fourth cousin came back again: "The seller asked you if you can always get it here. If you want this price, you can add a thousand more to the rest."
Zhou Zhi was stunned. Damn it, I'm so excited for one thousand three!
Actually, when the BJ Art Store opened in 1987, the price of bowls and plates from the Kangxi official kiln was 400, the Qianlong official kiln was 300, and the Guangxu official kiln could only be regarded as gifts.
In other words, in the seller's mind, Zhou Zhi regarded him as a sheep by offering this price for folk kiln porcelain.
How much do you look down on folk kilns? !
“Add five hundred and the deal will be done!” Zhou Zhi immediately stepped into the role: “I have made friends with those pieces of folk kiln since we first met, so I opened the door higher to tell the other side not to make a fool of me!”
In the end, the price was increased to 700, and the total price was 2,000, and these antiques were acquired.
The old man took the money and left in a hurry. Only then did Zhou Zhi push his cousin out and let her admire Bada Shanren's paintings.
The fourth cousin looked at a few things with envy: "Look at people, they have held a few things in their hands for a few years, and they have exchanged them for a small courtyard..."
" What kind of small courtyard? "
My fourth cousin said, "I bought this small courtyard for two thousand yuan."
There is nothing to be envious of. The few things left on the table now can be exchanged for two villas in Shudu in twenty years!
"Fourth Cousin, please tell me. Apart from the painting, I can't figure out the other two jars."
"Oh, how do you see it?"
< br>"This is Longquan kiln plum green No problem, I estimate it dates from the Southern Song Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty; this blue and white is from the early Jingdezhen kiln, and the date is from the late Yuan Dynasty to the early morning of tomorrow. "
"The seller was wrong this time and got you a big leak."< br>
"Is the blue and white jar really from the Yuan Dynasty?"
"It is indeed from the Yuan Dynasty, but the price is just like this."
"Oh." Only then did Zhou Zhi realize, Guiguzi The record of Xiashan Gu has not been released yet, and Yuan Qinghua has not started to hype it at all.
"This is the big leak." The fourth cousin said: "The ones from the Southern Song Dynasty are the same batch as those in Suizhou."
"Really? Then this thing..."< br>
"At that time, there was a No. 2 kiln, but the protection was not as timely as that of the No. 1 kiln... Forget it, just look at the paintings, Bada Shanren, 'The forked coconut trees in the troubled times have been left to be studied carefully'."
< br>Things are open wide, and there is no doubt whether they are genuine or fake in the eyes of Zhou Zhi and his fourth cousin. What everyone appreciates is the skill and artistic attainments of calligraphy and painting.
The painting "Light Turtle on the River" has a profound meaning. Turtles were the accessories of important officials in ancient times. Turtles in clear water are actually high-ranking officials in the Qing Dynasty who were well paid.
This painting is a self-portrait of the Bada Mountain people who disdain to run for food and clothing and maintain a spiritual cleanliness.
There is also a homophonic joke, because at that time Bada Shanren became a monk, and this painting is also a "monk painting with lotus flowers on it".
His attainments are higher than those of the "Herons and Stones" that Zhou Zhi had seen in his previous life.
In another eighteen years, the auction price of "Herons and Stones" will reach 33 million, and this thing, with such an obvious meaning as Bada Shanren, the price will not be lower than that. .
However, I’m afraid it’s only the cheapest among the three items.
"I'm curious, who is that old man? Why do you have so many good things?"
"You should stop asking about this." The fourth cousin said, "I'm curious, where are you? So much money?”
Zhou Zhi told the story about helping Xiaoliujie, and then added the income from working during the holidays: "Xiaoliujie is self-employed and is so poor that she only has money."
The fourth cousin smiled: "This This time I bring you these things, in fact, to inspire your interests and hobbies. Damn, you have some skills.”
“That’s because today’s counterfeiters have not yet reached their peak. For example, there are small and large bubbles in the white glaze of the blue and white jars, and the rust and burnt eyes on the sumac. No one can imitate the bottom layer and soil Qin of the plum green jar yet," Zhou Zhi Nan said with a smile.
