The first thousand and fifty-two chapters, everything must be well-mannered
The eyes of Shen Feng and Xu Xing were already attracted by the things on the exhibition car, because they wanted to know what this national treasure was, so they both looked at it carefully. After the lights in the exhibition car were turned on, countless people The light shines on the objects inside, and there are actually three pictures inside.
"Mr. Shen and Miss Xu, if you can understand, what I have in hand is a national treasure that you are proud of, called the Picture of Women's History. It was originally collected in the Qing Palace, and was later sent to the British Museum. In the end of the world, It wandered around and ended up in North America. Fortunately, I collected it, otherwise such a precious painting would have been destroyed. Now I will use your national treasure as a trade. If Mr. Shen wants to get this national treasure, it is best to trade with me!" Tom Tom Said with a smile.
"This is our national treasure, and now you want to use it to trade with us. What kind of logic is this?" Xu Xing immediately became angry after hearing this introduction.
Xu Xing is very angry now. The reason why she is angry is because she has heard an extremely outrageous thing, so she can't help but feel angry in her heart. It is clear that her ancestor who was snatched away a hundred years ago is left behind. However, now it is being treated as a trading item, and it is deliberately pretending to be very generous. How can you endure this?
Xu Xing already wanted to take action at this time and snatch this national treasure back. Anyway, this is something that belongs to her country. Now it is living abroad. It is just a good time to take advantage of the troubled times to bring it back to the country. Even if it is on someone else's territory, Even if you can't defeat him, you still have the city lord to back you up.
However, Shen Feng stopped Xu Xing now and said, "Don't be impulsive, you can't be so presumptuous now!"
When Xu Xing heard what Shen Feng said, she couldn't help but look at Shen Feng in shock, and then said: "Brother Shen Feng, this is our national treasure and cannot be traded!"
Of course Shen Feng understood what Xu Xing meant. The picture of female historians that appeared here was an absolute national treasure of China. However, it was snatched away during the subsequent hundred years of China's fall. Troops from eight countries appeared in the Old Summer Palace. Here, a large number of precious treasures were robbed. Among them, the female history picture was even irreversibly damaged. In the end, it was brought to North America during the apocalypse. Now it has become an item that can be traded at any time. It is obviously his own. It's a shame that the country's treasure has to be redeemed!
But things in the world are not that simple. Shen Feng can snatch the national treasure back directly, but it will definitely trigger public opinion in the follow-up!
After seeing Xu Xing's expression, Tom explained: "Miss, you are really too excited now. You should calm down a little. This matter cannot be emotional, because your hatred has now been transferred. When it comes to me, it’s just emotional. Only when you calm down can you handle this transaction correctly!”
Xu Xing's expression never improved. Instead, she stared at Tom fiercely and said, "You have already treated our national treasure as an item of trade, and you asked me not to be emotional. What you said is true." It’s so relaxing!”.br
Tom then said: "Sit down now. This thing is absolutely genuine. If you agree to my deal in the end, then this treasure will still be yours!"
Shen Feng said to Xu Xing seriously: "I'm going to let you sit down now. Violence can't solve the problem."
Xu Xing wanted to take action now. After all, what appeared in front of her was her country's national treasure. Now that she had seen it, she must take it back. However, after hearing Shen Feng's order, she still chose to calm down and slowly She sat down on the chair, but there was still hatred in her eyes.
Tom now wanted to give Xu Xing a reasonable explanation, so he said directly: "Miss Xu, you must feel that your country's treasure has been robbed, so now you should get the treasure back, right? ?』
Xu Xing also said unabashedly: "That's right, that's what I think. When China was weak, foreign countries stole our treasures and shamelessly put them on display in museums. How can I hate this kind of hatred?" Will you forget?"
Tom immediately explained: "If this is just a matter of words,
If you look at it with passion, it was indeed taken away, but you also have to know one thing. This treasure has been lost for a long time. Without people's protection, this thing would have been destroyed by now! Moreover, this treasure has been lost for a long time. After a copy of the Women's History Proverbs was lost outside, it first fell into the hands of a robber, and then was bought and collected by the British Museum. Later, when the end was approaching, countless collections had been lost outside, so I bought it again, starting from this direction. It seems that I still have merit in protecting cultural relics, right?"
Xu Xing was speechless for a moment, but she continued to defend: "But if we go back to the past, it was also taken away! This thing should be returned to its original owner."
"If everything can be traced back to the past, what's the use of keeping distance? Since the cultural relics have been wandering for hundreds of years, the identity of the owner has also undergone various changes. If you want to save the cultural relics, then you will If you buy it and the owner doesn't want to sell it, you can't rob it openly. Otherwise, what's the difference between your behavior and the robbers more than a hundred years ago?" Tom then asked.
After Xu Xing heard what the other party said, she didn't know what to say, because it seemed to be the truth. If she took it back, there seemed to be a legitimate reason, but the method was no different from that of a robber. If she wanted to take away cultural relics, The only option is trading.
"Okay, let's eat first. We'll talk about other things after dinner." After seeing Xu Xing's inability to refute, Shen Feng quickly spoke up to save himself.
Xu Xing nodded and stopped talking. Instead, she lowered her head and ate silently. But now she no longer had a good appetite. After eating a little food, she put down the bowl and chopsticks.
While eating, Shen Feng was thinking about whether he should agree to the other party's deal. If he wanted to bring the national treasure back, the only way now was to reach a deal with the other party, but the deal he reached required him to kill a large number of people. locusts, so that we can obtain the national treasure.
Shen Feng didn't want to stay in North America for too long. After all, the Zerg species everywhere had mutated. If there was a huge danger in China and he couldn't return home, his family would probably suffer huge losses.
While Shen Feng was seriously weighing the pros and cons, Tom said: "Mr. Shen, please enjoy the food at my home. There is refined wheat bread here. Spreading maple syrup on it will have a good taste. In addition, it will appear on the table. Every dish we serve has been quarantined and will definitely not contain any excess heavy metals or bacteria or viruses.”
After hearing Tom's introduction, Shen Feng also started to eat attentively, but while eating, he was still thinking about whether to make this deal.
There is a special delicacy in North America, which is maple syrup. This syrup is extracted from the sap of maple trees, and it can only be extracted once a year. After one time, the maple trees need to be allowed time to recover. If the maple sap is extracted multiple times in a short period of time, it will cause the death of the maple tree.
However, this syrup is very expensive, but it is also very delicious. It has a unique fragrance of maple in the mouth. It is much better than ordinary syrup. The only disadvantage is that it is expensive and most people cannot afford to eat too much. At the end of the day Only the rich can eat it.
Xu Xingze said to Shen Feng at this time: "City Lord, we must bring back this lost national treasure, so that we will not be ashamed of future generations!"
"You are quite good at speaking, but I want to ask you something. If you don't plan to get married, where will your descendants come from?" Shen Feng replied casually.
"My mother must have talked to you a lot, so you said this on purpose, but it's not important. We must take the national treasure back!" Xu Xing said seriously.
"I know, I know! Since you have said so, I have no choice but to meet your request. But in the next battle, you'd better perform better! We don't have much time in North America." Shen Feng then said to Xu Xing.
"Don't worry, I will definitely show my active performance in the next battle, and I will definitely get rid of those damn locusts in the shortest possible time!" Xu Xing said quickly to Shen Feng.
Shen Feng had already heard what Xu Xing said, so he then said to Tom: "
But I agreed to your deal, but as I said, I can only work for you for a month at most, and I will leave after one month! I need to get news about aliens by then, and besides I also want to take away this precious national treasure."
"Do you only want to do it for a month? No problem, that's enough, because I know that you, the God of Wind, can summon typhoons! One month is enough to clean up an area where locusts are!" Tom thought for a while and agreed. Now He also saw that what Shen Feng was most worried about now was the issue of time.
"After you finish eating, tell me quickly where you need to clean up the locusts. Then I can take action. But I see that there don't seem to be any locusts around New York!" Shen Feng then said seriously.
Tom nodded and said to the butler on the side: "Go and keep this treasure safe, make sure it doesn't get dirty, and arrange a room in the manor for the two of you to live in!"
"No, there are two rooms!" Shen Feng said quickly.
When Tom heard this, he quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I guessed wrong. I thought the two of you who appeared together in North America must be a close couple. It turns out that you are all friends, and the housekeeper arranged two rooms!"
Xu Xing glanced at Shen Feng and said nothing.
Then the housekeeper quickly took the exhibition car out of the room and turned off the lights on the tank, so as to better protect the painting. After all, light exposure will cause irreversible damage to the painting.
Tom then said to Shen Feng: "The areas that need to be cleaned up next are all around the Five Great Lakes. There are abundant water resources around the Five Great Lakes. There are also many plain areas suitable for farming. However, these places have been destroyed by locusts recently. It has been occupied and must be cleared, otherwise we won’t even be able to feed our own people.”
"Since we need to clean up these places, without further ado, when should we set off?" Shen Feng said impatiently.
"There is no rush in this matter. You should rest for a while. In the next few days, I will discuss with other consortiums about sending troops. I will definitely call you when the time comes." Tom said quickly. It turns out that he is now We didn't even get along with other consortiums.
Shen Feng and Xu Xing had no choice but to rest in the manor.
The room where Shen Feng and Xu Xing were located was very beautifully decorated. Even the bed was covered with clean and tidy eiderdown quilts. There were precious carpets on the ground floor of the room, and there were separate bathrooms and toilets inside. If no one else disturbed them, this place would indeed be perfect. It is a suitable place to live.
After Tom learned that Shen Feng and Xu Xing were not a couple, he arranged for a maid to serve Shen Feng. It seemed that he wanted to use beauty to seduce Shen Feng. Unfortunately, Shen Feng did not accept this trick at all and directly Kicked the maid out.
While Shen Feng and Xu Xing were living in the manor, Tom contacted the entire New York area consortium and asked these consortiums to take action and summon soldiers to clean up locusts in the Great Lakes area. The consortium quickly supported this plan after hearing about it, because They have seen the benefits brought by this plan and will definitely be able to get a lot of food in the future.
There is a saying in a war-torn country: "When the war begins, the politicians provide the goals, the rich provide the money, and the poor provide the children. When the war ends, the politicians get the country, and the losers get more." money, while the poor can only look for their children's graves."
Therefore, the consortium doesn't care about paying at all, because they believe that after the plan succeeds, they can get more money. As for war, it is a hell for the poor, but these poor people have no choice but to let their children go to the battlefield in order to survive. .
