Great Medicine Without Borders

Pu Jian said: "Why are you two talking so happily?"

Wang Jinwu told about the story of passing through the submerged city. Pu Jian immediately became energetic after hearing this. He stood up and leaned on the railing to look down. Unfortunately, the light was not good and he could not see anything.

Pu Jian said: "Next time, put on a diving suit and come over. Let's go to the underwater city to explore treasures. There will definitely be a lot of good things inside."

Xu Chunliang said: "You'd better sort out the winery thing first before we talk about it."

They chatted while admiring the scenery. The boat trip took more than an hour and they arrived at Taibaiwa unknowingly.

Taibaekwa is located at the northernmost end of Weishan Lake. It used to be called North Lake. Ten years ago, Jeju City renamed it Taibaek Lake to commemorate the great poet Li Bai who lived there for more than 20 years.

Taibai Lake is adjacent to the Old Canal to the east and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to the west, forming an ingenious pattern of two rivers embracing the lake. A bird's-eye view of Taibai Lake presents a majestic landscape of two dragons playing with a pearl.

According to historical records, the great poet Li Bai lived in Jeju for twenty-three years, married a wife, had children, wrote poems and made friends, and spent the best period of his life.

One summer during the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai stayed at the Jiangxin Temple in Caishan, Huangmei. When he saw Caishan standing alone in the river, a temple towering into the clouds, he was inspired to write poems. However, he drank too much that night and failed to write it. He went to Jeju at noon the next day. In a hotel at the east end of Xujia Street, after drinking eight bowls of wine in one breath, he spat out the wine and wrote the famous poem "Night at Jiangxin Temple" on the wall of the hotel - The dangerous building is a hundred feet high, and you can pick the stars with your hands. Don't dare to raise your voice for fear of frightening the people in heaven.

Xu Chunliang was very interested in this allusion, not because of the great poet Li Bai, nor because of this poem, but because Li Bai drank eight bowls of Xujia Street the next day. He didn’t know that this Xujia Street was related to their old Xujia Street Is there any connection? According to what grandpa said, the ancestral home of the old Xu family is also in Lunan.

They landed at Taibai Pier. After landing, they saw a lot of promotional slogans, basically about building a national-level resort and tourist area. Jeju is better than Dongju in terms of humanities. In the Taebaekwa area alone, they have created a lot of concepts.

Princess Wencheng grew up on the shore of Taibai Lake; the poet Li Bai took a small boat from the east gate of Rencheng to go south along the Guanghe River, built a cottage by the lake, drank wine and enjoyed poems; the poet Du Fu lingered in the waters of Taibai Lake and wrote He wrote the famous poem "The water is raining when the water chestnuts are ripe, and the August sky is in the wasteland".

Zhu Yingtai, Hua Mulan, and Li Qingzhao also left well-known touching deeds on the shore of Taibai Lake. Fuxi Nuwa Temple, Kangfu Ancient City, Shifo Temple, and Wanghai Hall are embedded in them, leaving precious historical relics for Taibai Lake. . Kangxi and Qianlong visited the south of the Yangtze River six times, and Taibai Lake made them linger.

Just by looking at the introduction of Taibai Lake, Xu Chunliang realized that Dongzhou was lagging behind in the construction of cultural tourism. As for Weishan Island, except for Zhang Liang's tomb, which has no evidence, there is currently no other publicity point.

Pu Jian said disapprovingly: "You are all bragging. I don't believe it. These people have all been to Jeju, and they said that Li Bai has lived in Jeju for twenty-three years. Where is his ID card? Where is his household registration book? Du Fu was actually involved. ”

Xu Chunliang said: "There are historical records that Li Bai and Du Fu met in Jeju."

Wang Jinwu called a taxi and took them to Qingshan Village, which is more than ten kilometers away from the pier and is located on a hillside.

The three of them got off the car at the entrance of the village and asked the driver to wait there. It was not easy to call a car in such a remote place, and the driver would not return empty-handed.

Pu Jian first went to the small shop at the entrance of the village to buy something, and asked about Shi Taiping.

There is indeed a man named Shi Taiping in Qingshan Village, but this man rarely returns to the village. He usually does business in the ancient city of Jeju. This time he did not even come back for the New Year.

When the three of them arrived at the door of Shi Taiping's house, they saw that the door was locked. It had indeed been unoccupied for a long time.

Xu Chunliang was puzzled. Shi Taiping left his address just because he wanted people to contact him, but there was no one at home. How could this be possible?

I saw a few small advertisements for recycling old home appliances on the door. Such advertisements are very common, and I didn’t think much of it at first. When I was about to leave, Xu Chunliang found that one of the phone numbers left on it was a duplicate. .

In other words, these small advertisements may come from the same gang. Xu Chunliang secretly wondered if this was a clue deliberately left by Shi Taiping?

I called the phone number on the small advertisement using hands-free.

After the phone rang twice, someone answered the call: "Hello, who can I call?"

"Is it peaceful?"

The other party said: "Is something wrong?"

Xu Chunliang said: "The matter of Linzhengtang's keel."

There was silence for a while, and then he asked: "How many of you are there in total?"

Xu Chunliang said: "Three."

"I want to meet, alone, in two hours at Hongxing Teahouse on Xujia Street in the ancient city."

Xu Chunliang wanted to say something else, but the other party had already hung up the phone.

Wang Jinwu said: "Why do I feel like this guy is a thief?"

Pu Jian said: "There are many shady people in this industry. Maybe they think they have a treasure in their hands and are worried that others will care about them. It is normal to be more careful."

Xu Chunliang said: "Then I will go back alone."

Pu Jian said: "It's always good to have more than one person helping. What if it's a trap?"

Xu Chunliang smiled and said, "I'm not afraid of traps. What would he dare to do in broad daylight?"

Wang Jinwu said: "I still want to eat fish at Beihu Fishing Village at noon."

Xu Chunliang asked the two of them to go first, while he went to meet Shi Taiping first, and went to find them immediately after finishing the work.

Hongxing Teahouse is located in Xujia Street, the ancient city of Jeju. Most of the ancient buildings in Jianghae area are similar, with blue bricks and gray tiles, simple and elegant. It is not as majestic and majestic as the palaces in the north, and it is also different from the ingenuity of Jiangnan gardens. From this, we can see that the people of Jianghae are pragmatic. Simple nature.

There is a stone tablet at the entrance of the street, which is engraved with the origin of Xujia Street. Xu Chunliang looked at it for a while, but did not find any relationship with his old Xu family.

When heading to Hongxing Tea House, Xu Chunliang passed by a high-end medical clinic with a prosperous business and a black plaque on the door with three characters - Renhetang.

Xu Chunliang stopped in front of the medical center and had an introduction to Renhetang. From the above, he knew that this was the headquarters of Renhetang. The founder Zhou Renhe reopened Renhetang here in the early 1980s. Renhetang has a history of more than a hundred years. .

Xu Chunliang secretly cursed, liar, Renhe Hall was founded for thirty-seven years in total, and it has been here for more than a hundred years, which is older than Huichun Hall, and the Zhou family was listed on it. Famous doctors from past dynasties, especially the two imperial doctors who first entered the imperial palace to practice medicine.

In this era, the bold will starve to death. As long as you dare to brag, no one will stop you. Xu Chunliang classified this introduction as a business soft article.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Xu Chunliang didn't stop much.

In fact, this so-called ancient city was basically rebuilt in the later period, and there are not many original buildings left.

Hongxing Tea House is one of the only remaining buildings.

The teahouses in Jianghai area are also different from other places. There are not so many meticulous processes and red tape, and drinking is a thirst-quenching experience.

Xu Chunliang sat down at table 9 on the second floor as agreed, and ordered a pot of jasmine. The waiter brought a two-liter blue and white porcelain teapot with two teacups and four small plates of snacks.

It was already the appointed time and Shi Taiping hadn't appeared yet. Xu Chunliang poured a cup of tea and waited while drinking tea.

There are many guests in the tea house, most of them are locals. They chat in loud voices in their hometown dialect. Lunan is also a place where heroes come from. Confucius and Mencius appeared in this land, as well as heroes who fought tigers and climbed the mountains. .

Five minutes passed. At this time, a thin, middle-aged man stood up from the southwest corner. He was wearing a pair of blue work clothes that were not new and old, and a pigskin peaked cap. The clothes were a little too big for him. It's a bit too big and makes me look thinner.

He came and sat down opposite Xu Chunliang, smiled and said, "Are you looking for me?"

Xu Chunliang looked him up and down: "Shi Taiping?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "That's me." He stretched out his hand to Xu Chunliang.

Xu Chunliang shook hands with him and found that his hands were obviously out of proportion to his body. The guy was only a little over 1.6 meters tall, but his hands were almost as big as his own. Moreover, the joints of his hands were thick and the palms were covered with calluses. The holding power makes him look like a Lianjiazi at first glance.

"What's your surname, boss?" Shi Taiping had a cunning air about him.

"My surname is Xu. I came here to meet you on the commission of Mr. Huang from Linzhengtang." Xu Chunliang said while taking out the rubbing he sent to Linzhengtang.

Shi Taiping took the rubbing and took a look at it, nodded and said, "It's me."

Xu Chunliang said: "Do you still have any more in your hand?"

Shi Taiping didn't answer his question and said with a smile: "How many do you want?"

Xu Chunliang said without hesitation: "I want as much as you have."

When Shi Taiping heard his great courage, his little eyes became brighter and brighter.

Xu Chunliang said: "But it must be ensured that it belongs to the same series as this rubbing."

Shi Taiping lowered his voice and said: "Twenty million!"

Xu Chunliang said: "Money is not an issue, how much do you have?"

Shi Taiping made a seven sign, and Xu Chunliang said you really dare to ask for it. Remember, Sun Changli only sold 32 pieces of keels for 16 million. You asked for 20 million for 7 pieces, and the average price was 20 million for one piece of keel. Three million. I don’t know how many valuable pieces out of the seven pieces are worth it.

Although Xu Chunliang thought Shi Taiping was a bad guy, he didn't bargain. He couldn't be the one to pay in the end anyway.

"I want to see the goods first."

Shi Taiping took out a stack of rubbings that had been prepared in advance, all of which were part of the selection of dragon bone rubbings. This guy was also an old man who had been in the world for many years, and he knew very well the principle of not letting go of eagles when they see rabbits. The note written in advance was handed to Xu Chunliang: "Prepay two million. It is my account number. I will contact you again after the money arrives."

Xu Chunliang looked at Shi Taiping: "Why should I believe you?"
