Although the words on it were painted over and the original color of the cover could no longer be seen, Zhu Yu still knew for sure that it was exactly what he thought.

In the eyes of heaven, this book has a history of almost seven hundred years. At least it is from the Ming Dynasty.

Although the words on the surface of the booklet and the silk wrapping were destroyed, the shape remained unchanged.

I slowly opened the book and saw the straight fonts inside. This should be the so-called Guange style, right?

By this time, the answer is ready to come out!

"Yongle Dian"!

When it comes to ancient Chinese books, Zhu Yu remembers the two collections most clearly, one is "Yongle Dadian" and the other is "Sikuquanshu".

The two sets of books are both collections of Chinese culture, but the former is a summary, and the latter is a destruction.

There are many things in between, so I won’t go into details here. Anyway, in Zhu Yu’s eyes, it is impossible for the descendants of Tunguska wild boar skin to truly engage in cultural integration with the mentality of inheriting Chinese culture.

"Yongle Dadian" is the most famous ancient Chinese classic in China and the largest encyclopedia in the world so far.

Its scale far exceeds all similar books compiled by previous generations, leaving many rich stories and unsolvable mysteries for future generations. Compiled during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, it preserves Chinese history, geography, literature and art, philosophy, religion and culture before the 14th century.

Encyclopedia documents. A total of 22,937 volumes, 60 volumes of table of contents, divided into 11,095 volumes, with a total of about 370 million words.

It preserves Chinese history, geography, literature and art, philosophy, religion and other encyclopedic documents before the 14th century. Compared with the encyclopedia compiled by Diderot in France and the British Encyclopedia Britannica, it is more than 300 years earlier. It can be called a world culture

Heritage treasures.

According to rough statistics, "Yongle Dadian" has collected and preserved as many as seven to eight thousand kinds of ancient classics, which is five times as many as the previous books such as "Yiwen Leiju", "Taiping Yulan", and "Cefu Yuangui".

, six times, even the large-scale series "Sikuquanshu" compiled in the Qing Dynasty only contains more than 3,000 books.

It's a pity that it has not been preserved.

The existing manuscript is from the Jiajing period. The original copy is said to be in the underground palace of Emperor Jiajing. However, it is said that the underground palace is now full of water, so the original copy should be gone.

The manuscripts were also lost in later generations, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, due to various reasons such as theft by guards, invasion by foreign enemies, riots by the Boxers, etc.

The current status of "Yongle Dadian", 161 volumes are collected by the National Library of China, 40 volumes are still collected by the Library of Congress in the United States, 51 volumes are stored in various places in the UK, the University of Hamburg Library in Germany, the University of Cologne Library in Germany, the Ethnographic Museum in Berlin, Germany, etc.

There are 5 volumes in existence, Japan has many (the number is unknown), and the National Palace Museum in Taiwan has 62 volumes.

The reason why Japan's survival is unknown is because the Japanese who lived a good life entered China several times, especially the capital, led by spies and traitors. The two main places they went to were the royal treasury and the place where books were stored.

So, be sad.

A rough calculation of this thing shows that there are nearly a thousand volumes in all parts of the world, which is quite a lot.

But it’s less than one-eighth of the original book!

So Zhu Yu knew that the five volumes in this box were, at least in his eyes, considered national treasures!

After all, my surname is Zhu! Although the family tree carved on stone in my hometown clearly states that my ancestor is not from Zhu Yuanzhang's line, but he also had the merit of following the dragon and becoming a general.

This thing must be related to my surname Zhu!

Zhu Yu teased himself and looked at the remaining five volumes.

They all have hard-shell covers with yellow silk surfaces, but the words on the covers have been destroyed. In two cases, the hard-cover covers were even broken.

Fortunately, although the words inside are dirty, they should be repairable.

Zhu Yu remembered watching a documentary. Archaeologists could repair the bamboo slips that were lumped together like black charcoal, let alone this one.

I took a cursory look at the content inside, and found that there were some about planting and some about weapon making, but they were not in the same category.

Regarding the classification of "Yongle Dadian", it seems that the rhymes used at that time were different from the current ones, so Zhu Yu didn't quite understand.

But it’s still a treasure after all!

Closing the box, Zhu Yu felt that even if he couldn't get anything during this trip to search for the treasure, it was still worth it!

But you still have to try your best. After all, Hans trusts himself and has given things to him first. If he doesn't try his best, it will really violate his principle.

Back at the villa, Zhu Yu watched Ran Jie and Qin Fei carry the box into the villa's warehouse, and then asked Ran Jie to drive the SUV away. They couldn't let the two of them walk or take a taxi back.

After leaving the villa, Qin Fei whispered:

“The boss is quite generous.”

"That's right." Ran Jie said proudly, "Do you know how much I earned from several actions?"

"How much?" Qin Fei asked curiously.

"At least a hundred thousand dollars each time!"

"So many!" Qin Fei was surprised, "Isn't that dangerous?"

"No, no, no." Ran Jie shook his head, "It wasn't dangerous the few times I went there. But I heard that the boss almost lost his life when he went treasure hunting for someone for the first time."

"Then what we do is hard work." Thinking about one hundred thousand dollars at a time, Qin Fei thought it was quite worth it.

Ran Jie and Qin Fei left, and Zhu Yu put the small box directly into the space.

Don't lose this thing!

The next step is to prepare to go treasure hunting in the jungle.

Zhu Yu made a special trip to the goods yard, called Jason and the three of them together, and said that he was going to hunt for treasure this time, and asked the three of them to take care of their own areas.

"Bundy, you must remind your workers to wear safety helmets!" Zhu Yu said in a stern tone, "If something falls and hits the head, someone will be killed!"

Bundy was worried again and again by Zhu Yu, so he put away his cavalier attitude and nodded seriously.

"Markla, don't always think about competing with the two of them. Your warehouse has just been taken over, and it will take some time before you can make as much profit as them. Manage it well first, and your profits will get better."

Markla also nodded vigorously.

"Jason, I'll leave all three places to you." Zhu Yu finally told Jason, "You have the right to fire anyone who doesn't do well. But your focus must also be on this container auction house. I think your reputation is now

We have already launched the campaign, and all that remains is to stabilize customers..."

Zhu Yu explained a lot, including Cathy coming over to check the accounts, etc., and asked them to take them seriously.

Jason patted his chest and promised to manage these places well, so that Zhu Yu could rest assured.

Finally, Jason said to Zhu Yu with a shy smile:

"Boss, I have collected another batch of containers. Do you think they are being checked and sorted?"

Naturally, Zhu Yu would not refuse anything that was convenient.

Then he handed Cao Dalong to Jason and asked him to practice his speaking. Otherwise, he would have to earn the wages of the gangsters.

Knowing that Zhu Yu, Ran Jie, and Qin Fei had decided to go treasure hunting, Cao Dalong looked very depressed, but he was considered a bachelor and had already begun to pester Freya to speak English.

But Freya obviously had no intention of paying attention to him, which made Cao Dalong a little disappointed.

"Do you two have any experience in surviving in the jungle?" Zhu Yu called Ran Jie and Qin Fei to the villa and asked.

"Yes." Ran Jie and Qin Fei said simultaneously.

"Okay then, you guys make a list of what to purchase specifically."

Since he had told Hans that he would pay for the two of them himself, Zhu Yu did not waste any time and directly placed an order for the purchase.

Everything must be top-notch, and Zhu Yu doesn't want his life to be threatened because of this.

The final result was that Ran Jie and Qin Fei each had a camouflage backpack.

Two days later, Hans called Zhu Yu and prepared to leave.

Hans brought his translator and bodyguard Mira, and four mercenaries.

Zhu Yu took Ran Jie and Qin Fei with him, and there were nine people in this group.

All the formalities were completed, and the group took a flight to Brazil first, and then transferred to the Amazon jungle.

After the four mercenaries arrived in the Amazon jungle, they found local connections and bought guns.

Along the way, Zhu Yu also got to know a little bit about these four people.

Captain Jason, a white man, retired from the U.S. Army, has been a mercenary for more than ten years, and has combat experience in the Middle East battlefield.

The team members are Green, Wilson, and Fortes. Wilson is a black man.

These four people are all retired soldiers, have great trust in each other, and have a tacit understanding of their actions.

They had their own channels to buy guns. After getting the guns, although they complained that the guns were too old, they quickly became familiar with them.

Qin Fei and Ran Jie found Zhu Yu together and asked them if they could buy a gun.

After all, the mercenaries mainly protect Hans. Looking at this posture, it is obvious that the jungle is very unsafe.

Although the two of them are good at fighting, if they have guns, they will naturally be more confident.

Zhu Yu smiled and said to them:

"Don't worry, I'll have a solution when we get to the jungle."

Zhu Yu looked down upon the old guns in the hands of these mercenaries.

Of course, there are new guns on the black market, but the price is nearly ten times higher than in the beautiful country!

I don't know if the budget given by Hans was not enough, or if Jason and others had other ideas, but in short, Zhu Yu could tell that the gun they got had no paint on the hand guard or anything else.
