Chapter 750
Noda Yahiko was talking nonsense at first, but later on, he became more and more confident as he spoke. The lies were repeated a thousand times, and then they became the truth.
What's more, his analysis of this terracotta figurine is not wrong. Although the colored terracotta figurines you have seen so far are from the Northern Wei Dynasty, who can guarantee that there were no colorful terracotta figurines during the Han Dynasty?
After all, the Northern Wei and the Han Dynasty were not very long, only a hundred years later. Moreover, although the Northern Wei was a dynasty established by the Xianbei people, they all became sinicized not long after they established the dynasty.
The language they used and their living habits were almost the same as those of the Han people at that time, so of course they inherited the habits of the Han people in terms of tombs.
For example, they like to put some pottery figurines in the tomb, which means that when they arrive in the underworld, they can also enjoy the service of these servants. This custom was inherited from the Han people.
This habit of the Han people originated in the late Warring States Period, and was once developed in the Han Dynasty.
Because the Han Dynasty had a tradition of burying a grand burial, the high-ranking officials and nobles of the Han Dynasty would buried a lot of gold, silver and treasures in their tombs, as well as objects they liked during their lifetime.
Because the Han Dynasty believed in the theory of Yin and Yang reincarnation, they certainly had to bury some burial sacrifices when they were buried.
In that era, it was definitely impossible to use the sacrificial sacrifice of living people. The terracotta warriors and horses fired by Qin Shihuang were too expensive, so they innovated the half-human-high warriors and knight figurines.
Of course, when they were buried, it would be fine if they buried a few such warriors and knight figurines. After all, like Qin Shihuang, burying an army to accompany him to the underworld and continuing to be emperor. This kind of expense is not something that anyone can afford.
Such warrior pottery figurines have been unearthed in historical materials about the excavation of Han tombs recorded in China.
There are fewer tombs of ordinary high-ranking officials and nobles. Some of them have more noble identities, especially those of nobles with martial honors.
So now, there are several warrior terracotta figurines and knight figurines in front of Mitsui and them, which is not inconsistent. The only thing that can be considered a suspicious point is that the warriors and knight figurines are actually colorful.
But now that Noda Yoshihiko said this, Mitsui Takayasu, who was originally a little suspicious, could be said to have gone all the suspicious at this time.
After all, after seeing the previous Han bricks and tiles, and earlier, the two Oi Bian Tianmu bowls sold to him by Junichi Watanabe, he had subconsciously formed a concept that the things in Junichi Watanabe's hands were basically real, and there were no fakes. This guy still had some tricks and abilities.
So subconsciously, he had already believed that these pottery figurines were burial objects unearthed from the ancient tombs of the Han Dynasty aristocrats. But after Mitsui Mitsuraki asked questions, he still needed a reasonable explanation.
Now that Noda Yahiko explained this, he immediately accepted this statement naturally.
At this time, Mitsui Mitsui Mitsui was just like Takao Mitsui, and he began to feel inexplicably happy.
Originally, as an archaeologist, especially the director of the Tokyo National Museum, he should be more cautious in identifying and excavating such new antiques.
Unfortunately, he was just a fool. If he followed his real ability, he would just be a second-rate appraiser.
But before, he joined forces with his brother, secretly plotted against Yoshihiko Noda, drove him from the position of director of the Tokyo National Museum, and then took advantage of the reputation of the Mitsui family to ascend to the throne of the director of the Tokyo National Museum.
Over the years, he has been at such a high position and has been dealing with various high-ranking officials every day. His academic ability and appraisal ability have not only not made any progress, but have also deteriorated a lot.
Now Noda Yahiko directly denied his suspicion. He didn't dare to raise any questions in front of Noda Yahiko.
After all, although he continued to plot against Noda Yoshihiko from the position of director of the Tokyo National Museum, Noda Yoshihiko's ability is still trusted.
After all, he was a classmate from high school to university with Noda Yahiko. He spent so long with Noda Yahiko. Noda Yahiko's ability in archaeological argumentation and antique identification has actually established an irrefutable image in his subconscious.
So when Noda Yoshihiko said firmly that these colorful samurai pottery figurines and knight figurines were a new archaeological discovery, his original question suddenly became clear, but instead he had no idea of questioning Noda Yoshihiko's judgment.
A new archaeological discovery, the colorful warrior terracotta figurines and knight figurines. Such a discovery has led to the era when colored terracotta figurines appeared in China more than a hundred years ago.
The Chinese may not have declared this discovery yet, right? If we Japanese announced this discovery in advance, what would the Chinese feel?
Haha, maybe a group of Chinese archaeological experts will fly from China to Japan for the sake of these terracotta figurines. If we want them to see it, isn’t we the final say?
Even if they promised to see it, they could make some requests with them at that time, such as some national treasures they have always kept in China to treasure. Of course, can we invite them to show them to Japan?
Even if it is borrowed, hehe, as for the cost, it's a different story.
These Chinese people are so pitiful that they cannot even protect the treasures passed down by their ancestors themselves. They are such a group of pitiful people.
If you do such a brilliant thing, you may have to show off in Japan. At that time, will the high-ranking officials and nobles in Japan come to find you to make friends with me?
The improvement of his status is also of great benefit to his elder brother gaining power within the family.
As he thought about it, Mitsui Mitsui thought too much and glanced at his elder brother Mitsui Takawa. Just then, Mitsui Takawa's eyes turned towards him.
The two brothers touched their eyes and understood what each other meant. Today, these pottery figurines must be taken down.
The two of them thought their communication was very secret, but they did not expect that their every move would fall into the eyes of Junichi Watanabe and Yoshihiko Noda.
Just as the two of Mitsui exchanged their eyes, Junichi Watanabe and Yoshihiko Noda had a eyes exchange, but their communication was very simple.
After reading these things, let's continue to move backwards. After all, there are still several boxes behind, waiting for Kaifeng.
If the things in those boxes leak out, hehe, today these two brothers from Mitsui will clean their necks and be ready to be stabbed.
Junichi Watanabe was already sharpening his knife secretly at this time, and Noda Yoshihiko was of course responsible for handing him the role of whetstone.
At this time, Noda Yoshihiko had already made way out, while Mitsui Mitsui and Mitsui Takaya came to the front of the pottery figurines. After all, Mitsui Mitsui was not as good as Mitsui Mitsui. At this time, Mitsui Mitsui was squatting on the ground, responsible for giving his brother half a bucket of water to popularize the characteristics of Han Dynasty pottery figurines.
"Noda-kun, it's almost done. Don't take apart the remaining boxes. If you dismantle them, I really can't bear such a responsibility."
"Hey! Mr. Watanabe, we have all come here anyway, and we have looked at the things in front. What is the difference between the things in the back boxes and the ones in front? Are you still afraid that Mr. Mitsui can't afford the money?"
The two of them quickly attracted the attention of Brother Mitsui. At this time, the two saw that Noda Yahiko had already arrived in front of the small-sized boxes at the back, holding a crowbar in his hand. It seemed that he knew that he wanted to open these boxes to take a look.
This time, Junichi Watanabe stood in front of those boxes, separating Noda Yoshihiko from those boxes.
Looking at the expression on his face, it seemed that he was very concerned about the things in these boxes. The more he pushed and stopped him, the more he was, the more he was no longer interested in October.
Seeing the two of them, they were far more interested in these boxes than Yoshihiko Noda, and Brother Mitsui was quickly attracted by these boxes.
Today, Junichi Watanabe brought them too many surprises.
From the first two Yaobian Tianmu bowls, to the exquisitely crafted Han bricks and tiles, then these knight terracotta figurines and warrior figurines, as well as some terracotta figurines of children's servants, this has shown a lot.
These things must have been unearthed recently, and they must have come to a place where ancient tombs in the Han Dynasty were very concentrated, and of course they may have come to many places.
But one thing is very important, that is, Junichi Watanabe must have collected a lot of antiques from the Han Dynasty, and the quality is probably used by the high-ranking officials and nobles at that time.
Now he is so nervous about those boxes. Does that mean that the things in those boxes are much more precious than the treasures they see now?
When I thought of this, the two brothers Mitsui were in a sudden and they could no longer remain calm.
"Watanabe, you see that our transactions have reached this point. Are you still missing the last few boxes? That's it, Kato, come here and give Mr. Watanabe's account 30 million US dollars. Even if it's the deposit for the next transactions we have today, how about it? Mr. Watanabe, now you see our sincerity?"
Mitsui Takawa looked at Junichi Watanabe and said confidently. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
