Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

C2688 Cultural relic bandit

Bismark and Lao Maoqi were both shocked, they never would have thought that the grand head of the Chinese Clan, would actually be a thief!

Although robbing in war was a common occurrence, it was still rare to see someone as ugly as Xiao Letian!

Bismark's expression was similar to constipation. "This … What's in this crappy castle? Rosenberg is just a very unremarkable castle at the border, with less than 200 years of history.

"The oil paintings and sculptures in this castle are not famous experts. Do you even want this?"

Lao Maoqi also nodded his head: "In terms of treasures, the Louvre and the Tuileries' Palace are the real ones, the treasures inside are the real ones. When we go to Paris and you get something real, it will definitely be better than this kind of junk."

Xiao Letian quickly waved his hands, "Don't! This is what you call painting cake to satisfy your hunger! When we really break through Paris, those treasures will not belong to me alone.

"Furthermore, the more valuable the treasure is, the easier it is to attract international discussion. If I really want to bring the Mona Lisa back to China, are you willing to part with me?"

"Hehe, you can bear to part with it. Even Italy and England can't bear to part with it. At that time, won't we still need diplomatic intervention?"

"That's why the meat you eat is the meat you eat. Since you want to beat the autumn wind, you shouldn't look down on things that are broken!"

Of course, Bismark and Lao Maoqi did not care about the presence or absence of the French cultural relics.

Bismark nodded his head, "I finally understand, the leader wants to take revenge, to avenge the Great Qing summer palace? "That's not right. This is how I think you should play …"

The Prime Minister Iron-Blood said in a low voice, pretending to be mysterious, "We have won this war. When we really conquer Paris, the French will definitely negotiate with us!"

"When the time comes, you can open your mouth wide …" "How about this, I'll transfer some of your captives to you and you can watch over them as a bargaining chip against France!"

"Just ask for France to return the favor... summer palace... No, no, no, seems like your name is Yuan Ming Yuan? Let them return the cultural relics of the Yuan Ming Yuan! "

"Just let go of extortion, if not give it to the prisoners, do not worry, in order to calm the anger of the citizens, the Government of France has to nod her head too!"

"Hehehe …" If these treasures were to fall into your hands, I guess that you wouldn't even return it to the Great Qing. When that time comes, your museum will truly reap a bountiful harvest! "

"Hahaha …" Xiao Letian laughed heartily. He reached out his hand to pat Bismark's shoulder and said, "How about we become good friends? We're thinking the same thing!"

"If we do that, I do not believe that the France government will not listen to my orders with the lives of fifty to sixty thousand captives in their hands. Besides, this matter of mine still holds true! "

"Back then you stole something from China, but now I have to rely on my own abilities to take it back. That's reasonable, no one can think of putting a fart in this matter!"

"Come, cheers!" The three of them picked up their glasses and gulped down a large cup of white wine.

Was Xiao Letian's appetite really that little? It was obviously impossible. As the three of them exchanged toasts, they gradually became a little tipsy. Only then did he speak up.

"Relying on the treasures of the Yuan Ming Yuan is not enough. What I want to create is a world-class museum. What I want is the largest one in the world, one that might even surpass the British Museum!"

"I also need European cultural relics, so my condition is that I must bring all my spoils of war back home!"

"Of course, some artifacts that can easily cause diplomatic disputes, such as the Mona Lisa, the David's Statue, and other treasures, I will not be greedy, but I must take away some of the other treasures, you can't stop me!"

In this era, although there were people who collected cultural relics, they were just a small number of aristocrats' personal hobbies. Real commoners did not play with this, and the popularity of cultural relics did not develop.

including Bismark and Lao Maoqi, who didn't really care about these worthless things, they were more concerned about the indicators in the field of military and economic affairs of the country.

Take a look at the railway miles, the number of locomotives, the production capacity of the Steel plant, and the new technology... That is what these politicians are concerned about.

Of course, they felt that works of art were valuable, but they were definitely not as important as the future generations!

Xiao Letian, this thief of cultural relics, had found this loophole, and this was the thought that came to mind when he had an encounter with the Liu-Li Factory in Beijing back then.

When Xiao Letian was the temporary king of Beijing, he gave him the secret edict to the side of the Qing Jun. In the end, he led the new army and charged into the Beijing, practicing his martial arts in front of the Supreme Harmony Hall and releasing hot air balloons in the sky above the Beijing.

He suppressed the price of the food and cleaned the city. In a few months, Beijing changed from dirty to clean.

Furthermore, the food prices were stable and the security was stable.

Although the Beijing disciples scolded Xiao Letian as a living Cao Cao, they had no choice but to admit defeat when they saw the environment of the capital.

Just at that time, Xiao Letian once pretended to be in Liu-Li Factory and met a senior official who knew a lot of business. The capital sent him the nickname of Ghost Eye Left Lord, with a big number on the left, it was Zuo Zhaofeng!

This master is Man Shun's master, one of the four eunuchs by the side of the Tongzhi Emperor.

Xiao Letian had set his eyes on a Zhou Dynasty wine bottle, and in the end, spent a total of five thousand silvers to buy it, but before he left, the left pumilus actually gave him a dryad pink colored Butterfly Flower Disk.

This disk was truly beautiful. Its diameter was at least 50 cm. The white porcelain base, pink glaze, and a ring of beautiful butterfly-like patterns. Opening the bottom of the disk, there was even the official kiln as a stamp.

If this disk was placed with Xiao Letian in his previous life, he would be blind not to sell it for a million if he didn't sell it. But this disk, which was such a good item, was actually just a gift, just like that!

At that time, Xiao Letian's interest was piqued, he asked with a smile: "If you sell one and spare one, will you lose out?"

left pumilus laughed out loud, "This master, you don't understand! This is the antique business, that's what we have to do! "

"Judging from your imposing appearance, it's obvious that you're no ordinary mortal. Furthermore, with a business worth five thousand taels of silver, you don't even bat an eye. It's definitely a rich family …"

"Furthermore, the official atmosphere around you clearly shows that you are in the government. However, your words and actions are very different from those of the elders in the court. At this moment, I can easily guess that you are …" Master Xiao's men, right? "

Forget it, the left pumilus did not recognize the Buddha, but he had guessed correctly!
