Chapter 931 A World for Two 1
According to information revealed by several elderly people, the number of cultural relics and calligraphy and paintings that flow into the scrap yard is actually limited, but there are more things like furniture and scrap copper and iron. This is because most of the books and calligraphy and paintings were destroyed during the house searches, and porcelain and the like were easily smashed to pieces. Scrap copper and iron and furniture cannot be burned or smashed, so they are naturally transported to the scrap yard to support national construction.
Not only did hot-blooded students come to search Huang Qinghong's house, but local staff also got involved. The people who searched Huang Qinghong's house were not just students, they seemed to be military representatives, and it is not known whether they were students.
Owning this magical space, Feng Qingxue always felt that she should do something to do justice to this space.
In this era, she hopes that she can accumulate some good karma to protect the safety of her whole family. She also hopes that her actions in preserving the country's cultural heritage can gild her husband and children in ten or twenty years.
When the country attaches importance to cultural heritage, what she and Lu Jiang have done must be a great achievement and will be remembered by history.
"Even if we can find a valuable cultural relic in the scrapyard, our work will not be in vain." Feng Qingxue said to Lu Jiang, "Besides, the capital is so big, there are so many scrapyards, and the amount of scrap is so huge that it is far beyond the reach of Huaihai City. After all, this catastrophe started in the capital. In just a few months, tens of thousands of households were confiscated, right?"
In fact, during the entire catastrophe, the number of people whose homes were ransacked in the capital was approximately hundreds of thousands, with heavy casualties. The number of households whose homes were ransacked nationwide was approximately more than 10 million, and this is just a rough statistic.
This was not the number Feng Qingxue saw from official information, so she couldn't be sure whether it was completely accurate.
Even if it's not exact, it's not far off.
Lu Jiang shook his head and said, "No, let's go to Shanghai first."
"Go to Shanghai first?" Feng Qingxue didn't understand what Lu Jiang meant. Wasn't the capital the first to suffer?
"Shanghai is the most developed commercial place. Shanghai products are well-known throughout the country. There are no fewer celebrities living in Shanghai than in the capital. The university teachers and local literary masters must have suffered a lot." During the Republic of China period, the foreign concessions were turbulent, and because of the gathering of elites, the accumulated wealth was not in vain. Lu Jiang sighed softly, "From Huaihai City to Shanghai, it only takes one or two days by the fastest train, and there must be flights from Shanghai to the capital."
Feng Qingxue understood immediately, "Go to Shanghai first, then transfer to the capital?"
Lu Jiang nodded slightly. "I think the number of cultural relics destroyed in Shanghai is not necessarily less than that in the capital. There are so many celebrities, especially calligraphers and painters, many of whom have settled in Shanghai and are as unlucky as Mr. Wen and his friends. So, we can first go to various scrap collection stations in Shanghai, then go to the black market and the second-hand goods market, and then go to the capital when we are done. After finishing things in the capital, if there is a flight to us, we will take this flight. If not, we will fly from the capital to Shanghai and then take the train back home. In this way, although it costs a little more money for air tickets, it saves a lot of time."
For them, time is precious and money is not important.
"Then let's go to Shanghai and ask about the whereabouts of our senior sister. Although the teacher doesn't say it, he must be very worried about the situation of our senior brothers and sisters." Feng Qingxue made a decision quickly and followed her husband's advice.
