Chapter 10 Donating Ancient Books



She checked the boxes only after she had almost finished eating.

This time, it contained not only gold, silver and treasures, but also a pile of books made of wooden slips.

In the Qin Dynasty, books were only available to the nobility and were considered a luxury item.

After a quick look, she was shocked by what was recorded there.

It turned out to be a book from a hundred schools of thought.

There are many famous books, from "The Analects of Confucius" to "Mozi" to "Lüshi Chunqiu" written by Lü Buwei.

It also includes strange stories and even the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is divided into two volumes.

The most important thing is to have a lot of original volumes and the original annotations.

You should know that there are very few books from the pre-Qin period that have been handed down to the present day, and many things have been lost.

The emergence of these things will undoubtedly further expand the external influence of Chinese civilization.

...

...

Li Rongrong made the call excitedly, "Hello, is this the National Museum? My ancestral home is being renovated, and I found a batch of cultural relics that I plan to donate to the country."

The operator on the other end of the phone said gently, "Excuse me, what kind of cultural relic is this? Ma'am, would you mind leaving your personal information?"

"These are a batch of well-preserved books. I want to donate them anonymously. I'll find someone to deliver them to you later."

The operator was a little confused, but they often received donations from these enthusiastic citizens. "Okay."

Generally, the books donated to the library are from the Qing Dynasty.

Ordinary people will call them if they think it has no collection value.

At this moment, the operator had not realized that the books received this time were not from the Qing Dynasty, but from the Qin Dynasty.

If she had known, she would never agree to mail it to me.

The value of this batch of books from the pre-Qin period requires that someone be sent specially to transport them!

Of course, the operator knew nothing at this time.

Back to the present, after Li Rongrong kept a few of the books, she packed the rest and ordered them to be shipped as valuables.

It was packaged and mailed directly to the museum anonymously.

Several staff members of the National Museum signed for the express delivery in accordance with the procedures.

The museum's deputy director happened to be here to inspect the work. "What are these boxes of express mail?"

"The operator said it seems that these books were sent anonymously by concerned citizens."

"Did you say what book it was?"

The people who were asked looked at each other and shook their heads.

Books...

I heard that the neighboring Korean country directed and gave a speech about some books they dug up, and said that their history is 5,011 years.

They want to suppress the Chinese.

If there were not so few written records about Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties before the Qin Dynasty, it would not be the turn of the Tea-brewing Country to make such a fuss.

The deputy curator sighed and said, "Forget it, just send it to my place for inspection."

He opened the box with great concern, not knowing what period the books were from.

It shouldn't be too early...

As soon as the deputy curator opened the box, he saw various bamboo slips piled up, "This is it!"

"It's actually pre-Qin literature, and the various schools of thought."

“There are also many documents that have been lost!”

After a quick look, the deputy director had roughly determined the value of this batch of books.

"Quick, quick, quick! Activate protective measures!"

Several employees around also knew the importance of the matter and started to work.

The museum director rushed over as soon as he received the notice.

The deputy director was so excited that he danced with joy. "We have checked, these boxes of books are all real! The books are all signed, they are from the Qin Dynasty!"

The museum director was also very excited. These books not only clearly recorded the events of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, but also wrote about many things about the Yanhuang tribe.

When these discoveries are announced, they will shock the world.

"By the way, have you found out who sent it?"

"Director... Director, I answered the phone. The lady who sent these things said that her ancestral home was being renovated..."

In response to the museum director's question, the operator spoke nervously.

She also didn't expect that she would be associated with such a valuable cultural relic.

Maybe she could see the news today: Today, xxx operator received an anonymous call. And so on.

This is not just a caring citizen, this is an angel!

Prince Fusu was also grateful for the immortal's gift.

Early in the morning, he took out two incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner in front of the mirror.

The burning smoke was absorbed directly into the dragon pattern carved on the mirror.

The mirror, which originally looked simple and majestic, now looked even more majestic.

After completing the daily offerings, Prince Fusu went out to discuss with Meng Tian.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw him holding a brush and writing something.

However, that brush was not as exquisite as the one the immortal gave him.

"What is General Meng doing?"

Meng Tian paused holding the brush, and said a little embarrassedly: "I saw the brush you used a few days ago, it was very useful, so I tried to make one when I had nothing to do."

Prince Fusu did not despise his crude craftsmanship, but was very happy, "Great! I've heard from my father that although General Meng is a military commander, he has a delicate mind. I didn't expect that he could make a brush so quickly."

"You are too kind, sir."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the two began to talk about business.

Meng Tian took out a thick stack of letter paper from a box beside him and said to Prince Fusu with a serious expression: "Prince, you came at the right time! These letters are important intelligence passed on by spies at the front line."

Prince Fusu quickly took the letters and after reading them he realized the seriousness of the situation.

The northern grasslands were home not only to the Huns, but also tribes such as the Yuezhi and Donghu.

As winter approaches and severe cold is about to fall, the Huns' food and fodder supply will inevitably be affected.

Therefore, they are likely to take advantage of this time to rob some food reserves to prepare for the cold winter.

The latest intelligence mentioned that the leader of the Huns, Touman Chanyu, was about to die, and his sons also had their own thoughts.

Meng Tian also frowned slightly, and just as he was about to speak, he couldn't help coughing.

After coughing for a long time, he said, "Among the Xiongnu, there is a man named Maodun. I have fought with him several times. He is definitely not an ordinary person."

Meng Tian's voice was filled with worry. "In addition, the Donghu and Yuezhi seem to be eyeing the war between us and the Xiongnu, and are trying to take advantage of the opportunity to attack the surrounding villages."

Prince Fusu nodded. As he thought about it, he gently picked up the vessel on the table and slowly filled it with water.

Then, he handed it to Meng Tian and said, "General Meng, have you caught a cold? You are a loyal minister of the Qin Dynasty, so you must pay more attention to your health!"

Meng Tian took the vessel, a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes, "Thank you for your concern, young master."

As the two were talking, an anxious voice came from outside: "Report! The Huns are challenging us with an army of 100,000 outside the city!"

Meng Tian and Prince Fusu looked at each other and were a little surprised. They didn't expect that the Huns would come when they were just discussing.
