Chapter 295 Grain Storage and Repair Base



Chen Yunniang and Chu Zhongyuan are people who have the help of Heaven, so Heaven will naturally give them many magical treasures and good fortune.

"Has Chu Zhongyuan gone mad? Does he want to destroy the whole world?"

What should we do?

"Are we really going to watch the world turn into a living hell?"

Su Yujiao thought for a moment: "We need to prepare for both possibilities. On the one hand, we need to find out where Chu Zhongyuan is hiding as soon as possible and prevent this catastrophe."

"On the other hand, we stockpile grain and build bases to improve the army's defensive capabilities."

"Ordinary swords and knives are unlikely to harm those Gu people; we must change our weapons and armor."

"The city walls also need to be reinforced, and if necessary, some fortresses need to be built or some tunnels need to be dug for hiding."

"We must also store plenty of food and water."

"Especially water. If the river water or well water is contaminated by the blood of the Gu people, people who drink the water will also be infected."

Although she wasn't sure if it was contagious, she had read quite a few zombie novels, and since the zombie virus was transmitted through blood, it was best to take precautions.

"Here's what we'll do: send someone to the Southern Frontier Kingdom to gather information, especially to those remote villages."

“I saw some villages in my dream. The buildings looked like stilted houses and drum towers from southern Xinjiang. Perhaps Chu Zhongyuan and Chen Yunniang were training Gu people there.”

"If we discover them in advance, it would be best to eliminate them in one fell swoop when their numbers are still small."

"The rest, I'll go back and write a detailed plan."

"I will go to the palace again first thing tomorrow morning."

The prince said gratefully, "Thank you, cousin-in-law."

"No need to thank me, I'm just helping myself."

After returning home, Su Yujiao locked herself in her room and spent the whole day writing and drawing, without even having time to eat dinner.

The next morning, she went to the palace again. The Crown Prince saw that she had listed things in great detail, as if she had experienced them all.

He asked in surprise, "Sister-in-law, how come you have so much experience dealing with these monsters?"

"You've been reading too many novels."

"novel?"

"Yeah, I write it like this in a lot of my zombie stories. Just copy my homework."

"The only difficulty now is that I need money, lots and lots of money, and it has to be legitimately obtained, otherwise it will attract investigation."

"After all, I am not a rich person in our world. Suddenly having a lot of money to buy various supplies will attract the attention of certain departments."

“In the past, I would exchange some gold for our local currency. I didn’t exchange much each time, so it wouldn’t attract attention.”

"But this time, I might need tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, to succeed or fail. It's definitely not okay for me to suddenly have a room full of gold ingots."

After hearing this, the crown prince looked worried: "Isn't there any other way?"

Su Yujiao thought for a moment, staring at the bright yellow python robe on the Crown Prince's body for a long time: "Your Highness, could I borrow your court robe?"

"What's the use of these clothes?"

"I don't know if it will work, but I'll give it a try."

"Okay, sister-in-law, please wait a moment."

The Crown Prince went into his bedchamber to change his clothes, then handed the new clothes to Su Yujiao.

Do you have brocade boxes for storing clothes?

"There are no boxes for clothes, but there are quite a few other brocade boxes."

The Crown Prince ordered the eunuchs to bring out all the boxes, big and small, from the storeroom. Su Yujiao chose a bright yellow brocade box embroidered with dragon patterns.

"This one will do."

She put the python robe into a brocade box, and then, in the blink of an eye, she disappeared.

The prince stared wide-eyed in shock. Could his cousin-in-law really be a fairy?

Although he didn't see with his own eyes how his cousin-in-law disappeared, it really only took the blink of an eye.

The crown prince was excited and wanted to share the news, but he also felt that such things should be kept secret, because if too many people knew, his cousin-in-law would be in danger.

Su Yujiao traveled back in time and met with a high school classmate who was studying archaeology at Tsinghua University.

She wanted to get to know an archaeology professor through a classmate so that the professor could help her determine whether the python robe from the fictional novel could be considered an antique.

The two greeted each other warmly upon meeting. Although they hadn't seen each other for many years, they had endless things to talk about as soon as they met.

"Jiaojiao, what wonderful treasure have you gotten? Let me take a look first. If I'm not sure, then I'll ask my teacher."

"OK."

The two met in a quiet tea room, a small private room, so there was no fear of anyone being tempted by their money.

Su Yujiao took out a small teacup from her bag and casually wrapped it in toilet paper; she couldn't possibly take out a python robe the moment they met.

Seeing how casual she was, Li Qian still professionally put on gloves and took out professional tools such as a magnifying glass.

"Is it a ceramic cup?"

"Okay, take a look."

The bottom of the cup is engraved with the blue characters 'Made in the Toyotomi era'.

Li Qian paused for a few seconds, her mind racing, trying to recall which dynasty and which emperor used the Fengwu reign title.

But after thinking for a long time, she still couldn't figure out which emperor's reign title Fengwu was!

Perhaps she lacks sufficient knowledge; she should go back and review the materials again.

Li Qian examined the teacup closely. The cup was thin and light, with a transparent blue-and-white porcelain glaze. The white porcelain body was decorated with blue patterns, making it elegant, fresh, and full of vitality.

This looks like an authentic product, but she couldn't determine its dynasty.

Blue and white porcelain originated in the Tang Dynasty, matured in the Yuan Dynasty, and did not reach its peak in the Ming Dynasty.

But the cup in front of me is neither from the Tang, Yuan, nor Ming dynasties, which is very strange.

"Jiaojiao, where did you get this?"

"My boyfriend gave it to me."

"Boy friend?"

“Yes, my boyfriend’s dad liked to collect antiques and opened a private museum. After his dad passed away, all these things were left to him.”

"I thought the cup was pretty good, so he just gave it to me."

“My parents owed a lot of money in their business before, and they suddenly died in a car accident a while ago. The creditors came to our door to collect the debts, and I just graduated. How am I supposed to pay them back?”

"So I want to sell this cup."

Li Qian looked at her with sympathy: "Oh, something so serious happened to your family?"

Why didn't you ask your boyfriend for help?

"His family can run a private museum, so they must be rich, right?"

“He also has a lot of things to take care of, and I don’t want to bother him.”

Li Qian imagined a melodramatic storyline of uncles and nephews fighting over the family fortune in a wealthy family.

"The items are good, but I'm not sure which dynasty they're from. I'll call someone over."

Can I take a picture and send it to my teacher?

"sure."

Li Qian took very detailed photos, even capturing the text at the bottom, and sent them to her mentor.

The phone rang soon after, and the teacher asked for the address, saying she would arrive within ten minutes.

"They're here. I'll go downstairs to greet the teacher."

Entering with Li Qian was an old man in a Tang suit with a white beard, who looked kind and amiable with a smile.

Su Yuqiao quickly stood up to greet him. Teacher Zhang was an antique enthusiast, and after a few pleasantries, they got straight to the point.
