As for mosquito coils, Zhuang Zhou does not intend to be the only one selling them.

This is not a product that can be used year-round.

It would be better to use it to open up the market.

certainly.

As for other items, Zhuang Zhou naturally planned to sell them alone.

After all, if you want to stay in Chang'an City for a long time, you can't just think about making money for yourself.

The best option is to lead a group of businessmen and make money together.

As long as the supply is in your own hands, everything will be under your control.

Besides, selling mosquito coils also benefits the people.

Zhuang Zhou’s plan is a long-term business layout.

For example, opening a drugstore, mainly purchasing some precious medicinal materials.

These can all be brought back for use in modern times.

There are also jade shops and leather shops, all of which can be brought back to modern times and sold for money.

It is much safer than investing in gold.

Another reason is that the fishing industry was not very developed in ancient times, but the fishing industry in this era is pristine and not polluted.

If we bring these fish back and sell them, it will be a big business.

But what Zhuang Zhou is not sure about now is whether the space-time gate can allow living things to pass through.

I'll just have to find an opportunity to try it.

"Brother Wang, the day after tomorrow morning at seven o'clock, no, the day after tomorrow morning at noon, I will be waiting for your arrival!"

"Don't worry! Brother will definitely be there!"

As Wang Zhigui was speaking, he suddenly remembered something:

"By the way, Brother Zhuang, I have two large boxes of the cultural relics and calligraphy you asked me to collect for you. Do you think they are enough?"

As he said that, he asked someone to carry out the two wooden boxes.

"You asked me to find something, and I thought it couldn't be too shabby. These are all fine official kiln porcelains that I personally inspected."

As he spoke, he had already opened a wooden box, which was covered with straw and neatly arranged with exquisite porcelain.

Zhuang Zhou took a closer look and found that these porcelain pieces were indeed exquisite in appearance and were obviously interesting things.

Each porcelain piece is separated by thick, soft straw.

"These porcelains are really beautiful, and they are packaged so carefully. Brother Wang, thank you for your hard work!"

Wang Zhigui smiled generously:

"I'm definitely going to do this for you! I'm going to make money from you in the future, hahahaha~~~"

Zhuang Zhou also smiled heartily. At this time, Wang Zhigui opened another wooden box:

"These are calligraphy and paintings. Although they are not works by famous artists, I asked someone to collect them from scholars and poets. Brother Zhuang, can you take a look at them?"

Zhuang Zhou originally told Wang Zhigui that he intended to give these things to his foreign business friends.

How could those foreign friends appreciate the things of the Tang Dynasty?

It's just for the sake of excitement.

So naturally, he was not asked to look for any calligraphy or paintings by famous artists.

"Oh, right, there's a piece of calligraphy by the great Master Ouyang Xun here. Let me see which one it is..."

Wang Zhigui looked around the wooden box for a while, then picked up a pair:

"This is it. Come and take a look."

Wang Zhigui carefully opened the calligraphy and painting and motioned Zhuang Zhou to come and see it together.

Zhuang Zhou was already extremely excited.

Because he heard it clearly just now.

Wang Zhigui just said that this is actually a calligraphy work by Ouyang Xun?

He had heard Liu Yunhe mention the name of Ouyang Xun, the best calligrapher of regular script in the Tang Dynasty.

Together with Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang and Xue Ji, he is known as one of the Four Great Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty.

The only things that have been passed down to later generations are the inscription on the stele and an authentic calligraphy and painting titled "Sixty-four Lines of Ancient Chinese Prose" (also known as "Dunhuang Manuscripts").

However, this only authentic calligraphy and painting was sold for one dollar by the famous Taoist priest Wang in the Dunhuang Grottoes.

Why is it one dollar?

Because at that time more than 50,000 calligraphy works were discovered in the Dunhuang Grottoes.

Paul Pelliot, an "expert" in French cultural relics who rushed to the scene after hearing the news, bought ten carts of rare treasures for only five hundred yuan.

In other words, it's about one dollar per piece.

These are all masterpieces treasured from the Western Jin Dynasty to the Northern Song Dynasty!

It was shipped abroad in this way.

It is really heartbreaking!

So much so that the works of Ouyang Xun seen in later generations, such as "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Inscription" and "Huangfu Jun Stele", are all rubbings of stone carvings.

And the original paper work of Ouyang Xun.

The only volume that has been published so far is the "Sixty-four Lines of Ancient Chinese Prose" that is circulated abroad.

These are what Zhuang Zhou learned during his tutoring before going to bed last night.

At this time, Zhuang Zhou leaned over and took a closer look at the work in Wang Zhigui's hand.

When he saw the words "Zhang Han, whose courtesy name is Jiying, is from Wu County, Wu."

Suddenly his eyes widened like copper bells.

Isn’t this the "Zhang Han Tie" which is known as the seventh best running script in the world?

The full name of "Zhang Han Tie" is "Zhang Han Si Lu Tie".

Also known as "Ji Ying Tie".

Zhuang Zhou didn't remember the rest, but he remembered the seventh best running script in the world very clearly.

Before going to bed last night, he happened to see the introduction of this calligraphy on the Internet.

A photo of the calligraphy was also preserved at that time.

Good job!

I just saw this famous painting online last night, and today I saw the original.

"Brother Wang, how much did these two boxes cost in total? I'll give it to you in exchange."

Zhuang Zhou no longer hesitated. He had to accept the two large boxes of calligraphy and paintings.

"Forget it! It's not worth much money when you add it up. Forget it, really forget it."

Wang Zhigui waved his hand and declined.

But Zhuang Zhou couldn't accept it calmly, after all, he would have to trouble him to collect it again in the future!

We naturally have to look at things in the long term.

"No, let's be fair. Give me a price, and I must pay you."
