Huang Xuan's back was wet with cold sweat instantly. He thought of the premise of hiding his identity: the P plane belongs to the Green Pine family, P11 and other planes here come from the needs of the Green Pine family, and he seems to be in Give away “family” assets.
If such a situation happened to the Huang family, the fund's first reaction would definitely be to cancel the bonus, and then to collect fines and even cancel the inheritance rights and equity.
Almost instantly, Huang Xuan raised his head and said with an embarrassed smile: "I said too much. I can't keep my mouth shut when I see a beauty. Going to the library was originally my business, but I forgot about Miss Chu. The status of the Bureau..." He sighed and said, "It would be perfect if Miss Chu was not a traveler of the Bureau."
Suspicion that once this kind of thing arises, it will not disappear easily, but Chu Yining just smiled and said: "Then I will wait for you outside the library and never go far."
If a beautiful girl in school said I am waiting for you outside the classroom, Huang Xuan would dare to let the teacher go immediately. Even if someone above the dean level blocked the way, Huang Xuan would dare to climb out from the window. But when these words came out of Chu Yining's mouth, Huang Xuan felt like he was watching a movie. His cousin's brother-in-law's cousin's brother-in-law was a gangster and said: That guy, wait for me in the playground tonight...
Suppressing his trembling voice, Huang Xuan squeezed out a smile and said, "Okay, let's go to St. Mark's Square first."
I secretly blamed myself: I got carried away. Huang Xuan originally remembered to talk less and read more, but when everything started going smoothly, he couldn't help showing off his capitalist tail and almost got cut off.
Built in the 9th century AD, Piazza San Marco is the oldest part of the city. It began life as a haphazard marketplace, then an orchard and a stopping place for pilgrims, and over time, religious and political functions took over. . This project, with the participation of many famous designers, reflects Alberti's view that places for people to rest should be built in the city.
The most prominent symbol here is the 100-meter-high St. Mark's Bell Tower. This location was first used as a watchtower in St. Mark's Square to monitor the conditions of the lagoon that has become Venice's inner harbor. It has been rebuilt three times, and finally Once, it has not happened in this plane.
The two sides of the bell tower echo the new administrative residence and library. On the other end is the famous St. Mark's Church, which is the center of the entire city.
Seeing that Huang Xuan did not use the plane base to search, but just walked forward in such a familiar way, Chu Yining immediately asked: "What era is this? Are you familiar with it?"
Huang Xuan didn't want to say much and said vaguely: "It's the middle of this historical period, and the architecture here has certain rules."
He said something casually, but it attracted Chu Yining's attention to the architectural style nearby. Huang Xuan didn't understand that such issues were compulsory courses for high-level travelers. Many high-level travelers have considerable knowledge. On the other hand, it is not difficult for Chu Yining to analyze issues such as architectural style.
When Huang Xuan walked into the library, Chu Yining knew for sure that the buildings here had no rules that could guide the way.
…
In the library, a monk stopped Huang Xuan.
The public libraries of this era are quite different from the public libraries understood in the modern sense. It only allows limited people to use books, and they can only read them, not borrow them. The so-called limited people here, of course, refer to local or regional citizens.
The yellow race is naturally not among them.
The monk said in clear Italian: "You cannot enter this library."
Of course Huang Xuan knew that he was not good enough. He shrugged and said, "Okay." Then he said to Lorraine in a dark voice, "Take the exams from this library."
"is that useful?"
"Pretend to show off."
Under the monk's guarded eyes, Huang Xuan walked out of the library and asked, "How many books are there here?" He mentally estimated the value of these pre-Renaissance books.
"About 400 copies."
Huang Xuan was stunned. This number sounds like it is even less than the number of books in his home.
It was in 1455 that Johann Gutenberg of Germany invented printing, which was the most important thing in human history. Before that, European book collections relied purely on copying, and neither quantity nor financial investment could be achieved. to a satisfactory level.
The public library of this period was represented by Cosimo the Elder. The San Marco Library was built by Cosimo the Elder in the San Marco Monastery of the Dominican Order, commissioned by the architect Michelozzo. Its collection of books all came from a A name familiar to Europeans: Nicoli, who died in mid-1455.
The largest library in Europe during this period, the Vatican Apostolic Library, which the Pope devoted all his efforts to build, had only 5 volumes of Greek manuscripts and 84 volumes of Latin manuscripts as of 1455.
Compared with the Ming Dynasty at the same period, it was pitiful.
This also made Huang Xuan lose interest.
It's not that manuscripts with age are valuable. If you ransack this library - it's theoretically easy to do, but the income obtained is an average of 100,000 for a book, which is very good, so 400 volumes is 40 million at best. Yuan yuan, perhaps some precious manuscripts will increase this number several times, but for Huang Xuan at this time, the attraction has been greatly reduced. Because looting itself consumes energy, and Huang Xuan has no interest in making ordinary profits. What's more, there is a mini-BOSS waiting for him at the door.
Chu Yining stood at the door of the library as expected, with a graceful and graceful figure. Many Venetians had already noticed this place.
Huang Xuan felt that the little boss of the administration in front of him seemed really not suitable for the life of a traveler. In other words, she is not suitable for work that is too delicate.
Perhaps using energy cannons to solve problems is what advanced travelers are best at.
Chu Yining did not ask Huang Xuan what he had done just now, but smiled and said: "Shall we go to Plaza San Giacomo now?"
Lorraine was able to analyze high-level energy fluctuations that occurred near travelers, but he was somewhat powerless about fluctuations that were farther away.
Therefore, Huang Xuan is not very sure whether Chu Yining will understand him better, and can only hope that he will make mistakes. Quickly invite this great god away.
Seeing more and more Italians approaching, Huang Xuan quickly walked down the stairs of the library and said, "Piazza San Giacomo is the commercial street of this era. Are you really interested?"
"You don't want me to see it?" Chu Yining said with burning eyes.
Huang Xuan pursed his lips and said quickly, "If you really want to go..."
"Then let's go." Chu Yining interrupted Huang Xuan directly.
Huang Xuan once again felt that coming here was not a good choice.
Piazza San Giacomo replaced the commercial function of Piazza San Marco. In the 15th century, it was the gathering point of Venice's commercial atmosphere. It not only had clothing stores, gold shops, industrial and commercial and taxation offices, but also was close to the harbor. , with warehouses and sales shops for ship owners. The Venetians proudly announced that people could buy goods from half the world here: wool, raw silk, cotton, salt, wheat, sugar, wine, wood, iron, copper, alum, honey, pearls, cloves, cardamom...
indeed so.
There are about 100,000 tons of grain stored in the plane passage. This is the capital that Huang Xuan has prepared long ago, but together with Chu Yining, he doesn't know whether he should take it out.
Lu Min and others are just ordinary low-level travelers, while Chu Yining is a high-level traveler who knows many things. Huang Xuan is not sure whether it goes against the conventions of the Rongguang people to conduct such a transaction, or whether he does not conduct it. Such a transaction is inconsistent with the habits of the Rongguang people.
This is an extremely mentally draining road.
Huang Xuan kept recalling what he knew about the Green Pine family: brutal, powerful, and fond of simple ways. He didn't know whether this understanding was correct, but judging from the current information, he could only understand it this way.
Looking back at Chu Yining, Huang Xuan said with a smile: "Ms. Chu, are you interested in the products here? This is the trading area of this planet. You can buy products from far away."
Chu Yining was also observing Huang Xuan. The Green Pine family was a rough Rongguang family, ruder than most Rongguang families, and the performance of the man in front of her was somewhere in between.
Attitude can't express much information. After hearing Huang Xuan's question, Chu Yining chuckled and said: "My way back is too far. If I carry things, I guess there won't be much profit, and I don't carry much." Supplies suitable for this place. What did you bring?"
The last sentence is obviously a temptation.
Huang Xuan chuckled, stalling for time and said: "I didn't think well, but if you need anything, I can buy it for you. I brought some food."
This time he brought not only food, but also standard food from the R plane, which is the general equivalent that travelers like to bring, and no one can fault it.
Chu Yining shook her head and pulled down the brim of her hat to cover half of her ears, but she still couldn't hide her beautiful face. Pedestrians passing by would inevitably take a look at her.
Seeing that she didn't have any special reaction, Huang Xuan relaxed a little and thought to himself: Travelers rely on plane travel for income, so the transactions will inevitably be large among them. Even if the administration does not eat fireworks, they will probably have to control it. The plane taps to collect taxes.
With this in mind, he walked two steps slower, and said side by side with Chu Yining: "Let's go to a nearby trading house." (To be continued, if you want to know what happened next, please log in to .qidian., there are more chapters, support Author, support genuine reading) (To be continued)
