Isn’t it enough what they took away?
The expressions of emperors of all dynasties were very ugly, especially the Zhu family, who were filled with anger and frustration.
It's so frustrating.
They finally drove the Mongols back and thought that the Han Dynasty could stand up again and rebuild its backbone. Who would have thought that it would fall into another abyss and become a garbage dynasty that almost destroyed China.
Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji were all furious and had no place to vent their anger.
Zhu Di turned his gaze to his eldest son again. Seeing him looking at him, Zhu Gaochi sighed and bowed, saying, "Father, the money is not enough now. Three months later, when the money is enough, you can take the people away. Your son will never stop you."
Seeing that he didn't stop him this time, Zhu Di was not too angry. Zheng He's side was a huge expense, and the compilation of the Yongle Encyclopedia was also a huge expense. It was indeed impossible to turn around the money in a short period of time.
Damn it, if he doesn’t completely wipe out the Later Jin once the money is in place, he’s not Zhu Di!
Zhu Gaoxu was also tempted, "Dad, your son will accompany you to the battle!"
He is now very unhappy with those foreign races, and there is still a fire in his heart that he is unwilling to vent, so he might as well start with the Later Jin!
"Let me show you some pictures first." Zhou Jia exited the video and showed them the pictures he had found earlier.
An ancient sword, a painting showcasing ancient customs and culture, pottery in yellow, green, and white, a jade ruyi...
Many things many people don’t know.
And the owner of the thing can easily know what it is.
Zhu Di recognized the sword at a glance.
"Isn't that the sword that grandpa gave to that XZ Living Buddha?" Zhu Zhanji also recognized it.
Zhu's father and son were both startled. It was not a good thing for Zhou Jia to bring it up at this time.
Kangxi also felt that the jade ruyi looked familiar.
"This is the Yongle Sword, the Yongle Emperor, the Zhu Di we mentioned earlier; this is the Admonitions of the Court Instructress, a work by Gu Kaizhi from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but the original is lost, only a Tang Dynasty copy exists. This is a Tang Sancai (a type of ceramic glaze), and this is a Kangxi jade ruyi..."
As more and more pictures passed through Zhou Jia's hands, more and more people became panicked.
After Zhou Jia finished displaying some of the cultural relics, all was silent.
Zhou Jia's smile was a bit bitter. "Do you know why I showed this?"
Many people shook their heads.
“I’ve said before that a museum is a place to showcase a country’s cultural heritage, but the cultural relics I just showed you are not in our country. They are all abroad, in the British Museum mentioned in the comment just now.
In fact, the museum's collection of our artifacts isn't limited to what I've shown you. There are many other artifacts, not just those from China, but also from other countries. It can be said that they truly embody the concept of banditry."
Zhou Jia's tone was full of sarcasm.
In this world, no one can walk out of the British Museum with a smile. No one can be so shameless.
Everyone in Wan Chao was silent as they listened to her words.
I seemed to understand why Zhou Jia was so unhappy just now.
Their own country's things were forcibly occupied by foreigners and not taken back, so they naturally would not have a good impression of those people.
Liu Che's eyes were gloomy.
He is domineering as he is. He can take things from other places, but his own things can only stay at home. He will not accept that his own things are taken away by others!
It mainly plays a double standard.
"A bunch of trash." Liu Che was scolding those people in later generations who could not keep the things left by their ancestors, especially those who wanted to give them away.
I don't know what's going on in their brains.
Wei Qing and Huo Qubing also looked unhappy and were extremely angry about what the British Museum had done.
Those barbarians are truly shameless.
"Why don't you take it back?" Che Bao's chubby face was full of anger.
Zhou Jia said: "Because the current environment is different from before, in the past, if you countries made a decision, you could go to war, and it was even simpler for a big country to fight a small country. If I don't like you, I will just kill you. But we are different now.
After all, as you have seen, we now have a lot of destructive weapons, especially mushroom eggs. It would be fine if a small-scale war broke out, but if a large-scale war broke out, if any country touched that thing, as we said, it would be restarted directly.
No one dares to be the first to provoke a war, so now it's basically a game between major powers. Let me be frank with you, for those small countries, we will definitely have the humanitarianism we need and we will not interfere in other countries' affairs, but it's hard to say for other countries."
Zhou Jia explained it briefly, and although Che Bao and the others were still not very happy, their expressions eased a lot.
"That's why I said that it would be best if you could destroy certain countries while the war is going on. We can't do anything right now, so, my dear ancestors, I'm counting on you. Come on!"
Ancestors, use it when necessary.
After all, she is a good descendant who cares about her ancestors.
After Zhou Jia finished speaking, he continued, "Speaking of this, let's expand on this a little bit. As for our country's artifacts, I've already told you that, except for those that were taken away, the rest are all in our museums, and occasionally some of them go out on tour.
However, because some countries have been in the midst of war, their cultural relics are still on tour in our country, because if they are taken back, they may be stolen.
When war breaks out, cultural relics are most likely to be looted and damaged, such as the Old Summer Palace. If we want to get back the things that were taken away from you, we can only go through diplomacy, but this path is difficult. Even if you spend money to buy them back, people may not be happy to do so.
