Time and space transaction: Exchange food for the elf princess at the beginning

"Nanyang..."

While Su Yi was observing the bronze tripod, he was thinking about what kind of reward he should give for this thing.

If he doesn't get anything he's interested in, he can ignore it no matter how much they send.

But what he was looking for was really what he needed right now, so it would be unreasonable not to give him some benefit.

I'm afraid no one will come to help him with these things in the future.

"Do you know the origin of this tripod?"

The envoy sent from Nanyang said quickly:

"Mr. Su, we found this tripod from the home of a rich man who committed a crime. We have carefully interrogated it and found that it was not originally his, but an item owned by a very old family in Nanyang."

"The origin of this family seems to be traced back to the period of the demise of the Song Dynasty in Kyushu. They stayed with us for a long time. Some of our historians speculate that they are the Song Dynasty royal family who were exiled overseas."

"It's just that over the long years, they have completely changed their names and surnames, but there are many antiques and other things left at home, which are indeed from the Song Dynasty."

"This family was once extremely powerful. It would be no exaggeration to say that it was the strongest force in our Southeast Asia in the first two centuries. But in the past hundred years, as we entered a new era, it gradually declined due to some unknown reasons. Until the second century Thirty years ago, their last family property was annexed, and the originally large family was dissolved. "

"The descendants of their family sent these precious collections to the auction house in order to make a living. It was probably more than 20 years ago. Then the tripod was bought by the rich man as a collection. There was no money at that time. How much money, converted into Kyushu coins, is only about 100,000 yuan."

"Because the rich man committed a serious crime, his family property had been confiscated by our Nanyang officials. Only then did we find this bronze tripod."

"He understands the value of antiques very well. When he was about to be arrested at the end, he hoped to put the tripod up for auction to make up for the company's shortfall. However, for various reasons, he was arrested by us before we even started."

Su Yi pondered for a moment, then turned and said:

"So, the descendants of that big family auctioned more than one collection back then?"

"Yes, it is said that there are about ten pieces, all of which are very precious antiques. However, very few of them have been photographed by us Nanyang people. A few have been photographed by Kyushu people, and the rest should have flowed into the Western antique market. "The Nanyang envoy said honestly.

Obviously, Nanyang had already done their homework before coming here and investigated these things very clearly.

"Can those people still be found?"

"Currently, our officials are reviewing relevant information from that year and trying our best to find the whereabouts of these things, but I'm afraid it won't be that easy to find them." The messenger shook his head and said:

"The auction was not large in scale at that time, and the prices were not expensive. The people who bought these things were not actually famous people. The rich man we caught only made his fortune later."

To put it bluntly, it was a small-scale auction, not very formal, and the participants were not big business figures, and the goals were clear.

If it hadn't been for the person who happened to have participated in that auction and bought the tripod this time, and was arrested for committing a crime in Nanyang Kingdom, and his house was ransacked and this thing was taken out, I'm afraid I wouldn't even know that such a thing happened in that era. Son.

"What about the descendants of the family who auctioned these things back then? Have you found them?"

"Due to family changes, they sold their properties and took the money to Kyushu. It is difficult for us to get involved in checking the information in Kyushu."

The Nanyang envoy looked embarrassed.

There must be relevant information, but it's all in Kyushu, and they wouldn't dare to check it even if they wanted to.

Su Yi nodded, but didn't care much.

More than 20 years ago, although Blue Star's Internet was not yet popular, it was beginning to develop. There would always be some clues left on the Internet.

Combined with some information provided by Nanyang Kingdom, we will check with Kyushu.

Whether it is finding the original buyers or the descendants of that family, it is probably easier for Tianshu to investigate than for the Nanyang officials to investigate on their own.

And if there is a clear goal, it can definitely be found out.

so......

"What do you want?"

Su Yi moved his eyes away from the bronze tripod and looked at the envoy from Nanyang.

This man actually looks like a native of Kyushu.

This country in Nanyang is a very special island country with a total population of more than 30 million, of which Kyushu people account for about 25% of the population.

This is the result of the independence of the small town guarding the main transportation channel across the strait. There are more than five million Kyushu people in that small town alone.

If the two were still one, the Kyushu people of Nanyang would probably account for one-third of the population.

This place has a long history with Kyushu, and has had tributary relations with the Central Plains Dynasty a long time ago.

During the most difficult period in Kyushu in the last century, the Kyushu people here spared no effort to help Kyushu through donations of money and materials through various channels.

Nanyang is also the only country in the world besides Kyushu that has a complete Kyushu language education system.

Speaking of which, compared to superficial brothers such as the big dogs in the oil region and Aba, who was supported by Ah San in order to curb Asan, the Kyushu descendants in Nanyang are actually the descendants of Kyushu.

Of course, those who dominate domestic politics in Nanyang are mainly the local indigenous people.

As latecomers to immigration, people of Kyushu origin have always been feared by the locals and usually can only engage in business.

This is also one of the important reasons why the internationally renowned town became independent.

This time, the Nanyang government sent a Kyushu descendant as a representative, obviously to show goodwill to him and get close to him.

Seeing that the matter was being discussed, the Nanyang representative became more cautious and said respectfully:

"Mr. Su, we don't ask for the third space elevator to be built in our place, but we only ask you to speak up to prevent us from being invaded by those countries in the Western camp."

They still have some ideas. Although they don't know what Su Yi is looking for these antiques for, they obviously don't think that the value of such a thing can be compared with the space elevator.

Moreover, although their Nanyang country is also on the equator, it is theoretically very suitable for building a space elevator base.

But under the premise that there is the Yingzhou Island space elevator not far to the east and the Penglai Island space elevator not far to the west.

Building a space elevator there is a complete waste.

Even if this kind of thing is proposed, it is likely to be rejected, so it is better to be smart and make some practical requests.

After all, as long as Su Yi opens his mouth to say something, those Western bandits would not dare to touch them even if they had the courage of a leopard.
