Chapter 219 Another inheritance

"What are the benefits of becoming a national-level inheritor of intangible cultural heritage?" Li Zi asked while eating melon nearby.

"That would be a lot of good."

Although Jiao Junhong is not the successor now, he will definitely take over when his master is gone.

So he knows these things very well.

"First of all, there are subsidies. All departments at all levels will provide subsidies, not just the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. The money is not a lot, but at least it can ensure that you have enough food and clothing."

"And if you want to start teaching, you can also apply for start-up funds. To apply for this money, you only need to submit your talent training report."

"Are there any subsidies for those who are being trained?" Shen Yiyi asked quickly.

"No, but if you can learn a skill, you can definitely support yourself in the future. Just like us who repair bronze artifacts, any museum, big or small, as long as it has the conditions, should have one, right?"

"This skill becomes more popular as you get older." Jiao Junhong said proudly, touching his chin.

He and his cousin were admitted to university at the same time, and both chose majors that become more and more popular as time goes by.

However, his cousin studied mechanics, while he studied cultural heritage preservation. Now they are both old, and he is the only one who is popular.

"But we don't need this little money." Li Zi answered for Zhang Yang.

The subsidy of tens of thousands of yuan a year is not enough for Miss Li to buy Zhang Yang a better suit.

After all, hanging out with rich women is the fastest way to get rich outside of the criminal law!
“It’s normal to have money.”

"Among us, those who work here and those who live in courtyard houses, who is really short of money?"

Jiao Junhong said calmly:

"But there are also various benefits, such as being able to transfer your household registration, having income tax concessions, and being able to give speeches in various places, publish books, and appear on television."

"You can realize your social value through various channels."

"These... I don't think I need them." Zhang Yang said after thinking for a while.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zi beside him suddenly reached out and made a gesture to him saying no.

"This may take a while."

"What? Do you want to be on TV? Do you want to be famous?" Zhang Yang turned his head and asked in confusion.

"It's not about becoming famous. If you want to be on TV, can't you just sponsor the TV station? The most important thing is the tax benefits!"

"Don't look at those things on the Internet that say they are legal tax avoidance. They are useless. Only benefits like yours are real."

Li Zi talked about this topic as if she was an expert.

Zhang Yang is not a rich man and has no experience in this area, so naturally he doesn't know where the rich spend the most money.

But... just for a little tax benefit, should I apply to be a national intangible cultural heritage inheritor?
Do you dare to be a little lower?

Perhaps she saw what Zhang Yang was thinking, or perhaps Li Zi had the same feeling as Zhang Yang.

Li Zi paused for a second, and immediately added:
"Of course, passing on this skill is the most important thing."

"Hey, this girl has a point."

Jiao Junhong overheard this and immediately gave a thumbs up and said:
"In life, we cannot just think about a few pieces of silver. We must have some higher pursuits that are different from ordinary people."

"Uncle Jiao, you are right." Zhang Yang nodded in agreement: "After I buy a courtyard house, I will come to work here, uncle. How about that?"

"By then, we won't have to differentiate between any inheritances, since we're all one family anyway."

"Hahaha, Mr. Zhang is really humorous, but what you said is very right. We bronze craftsmen are a big family."

"In that case, wouldn't it be better to keep this spoon at home?"

"Sure." Zhang Yang did not insist this time and nodded in agreement.

Jiao Junhong was overjoyed and stood up to shake hands with Zhang Yang to express his gratitude.

As a junior, of course I have to shake this hand.

However, when shaking hands, Li Zi needs to take a photo next to them.

"What is this for?" Jiao Junhong didn't react for a moment when he saw Li Zi take out the camera.

It was not until the camera was pointed at him that he realized that it was taking a photo to commemorate this historic meeting between him and Zhang Yang.

Since Puyi was driven out of the palace in 1924, the craftsmen of the Imperial Household Department of the Qing Dynasty have been separated.

Unexpectedly, exactly one hundred years later, their descendants met again in the Palace Museum.

Tears!

Later someone described the scene in the photo like this:

"As the successor of Yu the Crooked Mouth, Mr. Jiao burst into tears when he saw the keepsake of the bronze craftsmen, and his expression was a little out of control. Only he and Mr. Zhang Yang's tightly held hands proved that even after a hundred years of vicissitudes, those craftsmen still kept their original intentions..."

Of course, the reality is that when Jiao Junhong saw the camera, he wanted to cover his face, but Zhang Yang forcibly pulled his hand and posed in front of the camera.

With this photo, the “reverse tracing of ancestry” is halfway done.

The remaining half is to find a way to get the people in the Forbidden City to agree to this matter.

Of course Jiao Junhong was not happy at all.

But Zhang Yang has a solution.

"Now, as the successor of Tukeng Duan, I formally invite the descendants of Waizui Yu to come to Qingzhou to participate in our sect's housewarming ceremony, which will be held in two months."

"When the time comes, Uncle Jiao, you will see the strength of our Tukeng Section."

"Remember, in two months, all the bronze artifacts you see in our place are imitations. Don't take them seriously!"

"Then you will know that we are not just rogues who came here to get by by force, but real craftsmen."

"Actually, this has nothing to do with your level of antique imitation..."

Jiao Junhong wanted to speak more, but Zhang Yang didn't give him a chance.

He simply gave Jiao Junhong his business card and asked him to go to Qingzhou to contact him.

Li Zi also said that she would arrange a five-star hotel pick-up service for them, and that they could just treat their trip to Qingzhou as a vacation.

"Is it really five-star?" Jiao Junhong's focus shifted a little.

"Don't worry, you should understand our strength without me having to explain it to you. Don't you think about who introduced me here today?"

Zhang Yang finally brought up Director Jin's name and finally dispelled Jiao Junhong's last bit of doubt.

However, he still wanted Zhang Yang to promise that before their trip to Qingzhou, Zhang Yang and his people could not sell a single item and charge a penny in the name of "having the same origin as the Forbidden City".

Of course Zhang Yang agreed immediately.

He had no intention of selling the goods in a hurry. Two months might seem like a long time, but for the production of bronze ware, it was barely enough for one cycle.

I will be busy after I get back!
"Brother, this trick of yours is really brilliant!"

After leaving the door, Shen Yiyi finally understood Zhang Yang's purpose and said with some admiration:
“No matter how close we are to the Palace Museum, we still have to rely on them in the end.”

"Brother, your method of inviting them to Qingzhou is very useful. It is equivalent to using them as medicine to develop your own brand."

"If it works, when people talk about antique bronze artifacts in the future, someone will definitely add a dirt pit section behind the Forbidden City and the Shanghai Museum..."

"No, Brother, should we just use the name of our ancestor?"

Shen Yiyi frowned and said:

"It feels like it doesn't have any characteristics, and the direction is not very clear."

"Indeed." Li Zi agreed with Shen Yiyi's point of view for once: "We also need to come up with a more resounding name."

"Your previous Good Luck Village by Zhang Guoqiang was pretty good, but it was too long. It would be better if it could match the Forbidden City."

"It matches the Forbidden City..." Zhang Yang stroked his chin and thought for a moment: "How about calling it the New House?"

“Puff——” The remaining two girls made expressions as if they were vomiting blood.

"You are really bad at naming. No wonder you named yourself Zhang Guoqiang."

Li Zi and Shen Yiyi voted and temporarily deprived Zhang Yang of the naming rights.

The two girls still need to think carefully about the name of the sect they want to build in Qingzhou.

……

After returning to Qingzhou, Zhang Yang and Shen Yiyi went straight home and began the intensive preparations.

Li Zi was also busy. She asked a master to give the sect headquarters that Zhang Yang was going to build a resounding and meaningful name, called "Qingge".

The word "ge" means "ge" in "ge". Because they finally planned to put the headquarters of the sect on the 8th floor of the building that Li Zi inherited.

A separate floor, half of which is used for display and the other half is reserved, waiting to register a company for office use.

At that time, the housewarming ceremony and the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the new company will be held together, directly announcing that the largest antique bronze artwork company in East China has been established.

The company's personnel composition is very simple:
Zhang Yang is the general manager, Li Zi is the general manager's secretary, and Shen Yiyi is an intern.

After Shen Yiyi graduated, she was directly promoted to CTO, responsible for focusing on studying the company's technical issues.

In addition to this iron triangle, there is another expert joining - Mr. Lu will serve as the company's sales director in East China.

From now on, he will have to go to various National Treasure Gang groups to promote the company's products.

Upon hearing about such a big event, Grandpa Lu quickly ended his honeymoon and said he wanted to rush back to Qingzhou to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Time flies, and a month goes by quickly.

Zhang Yang and Shen Yiyi hardly went out for a whole month.

On Li Zi's side, the two points are "farmhouse courtyard-office building" in a straight line.

She moved into the yard as half-hostess.

In fact, I was a little hesitant before, thinking that I would explain the relationship to everyone when the time was right.

But now, she has made everything clear to Shen Yiyi, so naturally there is nothing to hide.

With Li Zi's help, Zhang Yang basically didn't have to worry about anything other than the making of bronze ware.

Shen Yiyi was not polite either. Not only did she take advantage of Zhang Yang, she also ordered Li Zi around whenever she had something to do, under the pretext of:

“The older ones have to take care of the younger ones.”

Li Zi thought that Shen Yiyi acknowledged her status as the eldest wife, and she was very happy to agree.

Until Grandpa Lu comes back.

……

After his vacation, grandpa brought back a bunch of "local specialties" and originally intended to give Zhang Yang a surprise.

As soon as I reached the gate, I heard Shen Yiyi shouting inside:
"Sister Zi, please help me get a can of ice!"

Then, he saw through the crack in the door that Li Zi obediently handed him a can of Coke.

Zhang Yang couldn't help but say, "You don't have to spoil her like this, do you?"

"I'm not spoiling you. I'm the elder, so it's my duty to take care of the younger. Am I still like in feudal society, making the younger serve me, the elder? This isn't a big house, so there aren't so many plans, right?"

After hearing this, grandpa was stunned.

It's broken, it's late.

Not only was his granddaughter pursued by Zhang Yang, but he also made her his concubine.

He quickly pushed the door open and walked in, rushing straight towards Zhang Yang angrily.

Zhang Yang had just finished his wax carving when he saw his grandfather coming back. He showed a look of surprise on his face:

"Grandpa, you're back so early!"

"I originally thought that you would be back for at least half a month, until the ribbon-cutting ceremony was about to begin?"

"I came back early and ruined your business, right?" Grandpa Lu asked angrily.

"What good news?" Zhang Yang looked confused.

"Yes, grandpa, what good news are you talking about?" Shen Yiyi also echoed.

As soon as his granddaughter spoke, the grandfather couldn't hold back anymore and looked at Shen Yiyi sternly:

"Shen Yiyi, come here!"

Shen Yiyi covered her ears and said, "Grandpa, why are you yelling so loudly? Are you crazy?"

"Then should I keep my voice down?"

"Yeah, can't you just speak at a normal volume?"

"Okay, then Shen Yiyi, come here for a moment." Grandpa Lu asked in a very normal voice, "Tell me, what did I say to you before I left?"

"I don't remember." Shen Yiyi crossed her arms and answered proudly.

"I told you that a forced melon is not sweet. If Zhang Yang has no feelings for you, you shouldn't rush to get involved with him."

"Look at you. I haven't seen you for a few months. You've forgotten everything I said. You've even gone to be someone else's concubine!"

"You're still so young, what if someone gets killed?"

"Ah?" The three remaining people in the yard exclaimed at the same time.

What kind of outrageous statement is this, grandpa?

But everyone actually thinks differently.

Zhang Yang: Did grandpa get seawater in his brain when he was swimming in the Maldives?
Li Zi: Could it be that because I didn't keep an eye on these two people, Xiao Shen has already caught up with me?
Shen Yiyi: I didn’t expect that grandpa’s brain got worse after he got married. Will he get Alzheimer’s if he continues like this?
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Grandpa Lu felt a little uneasy when he was stared at by three people: "Am I wrong?"

"That's totally wrong." Zhang Yang shook his head.

Shen Yiyi added: "Grandpa, which hospital in Qingzhou is the best for treating brain diseases? Tell me while you are still conscious."

"You can also use a hair dryer to blow out the moisture." Zhang Yang suggested.

"I'm out of my mind!"

Grandpa Lu emphasized this, but no one believed him.

He had no choice but to tell everyone everything he had eavesdropped on outside the door.

After listening to this, Zhang Yang left in silence.

He had a premonition that there would be a storm soon.

Shen Yiyi glared at Grandpa Lu shyly and explained:
"When I say she's older, I mean she's old enough to be my elder sister. It's not what you think, grandpa. You think too much."

"Ah?" Now it was Li Zi's turn to be shocked: "Is this what you mean?"

"What else? Do you think I will recognize you as my first wife?"

"Then why are you still ordering me to do this and that?"

Li Zi was so angry that her teeth were itching.

Shen Yiyi was not to be outdone: "I give you orders and you have to listen? That's really funny."

Just as Zhang Yang expected, the two girls started arguing.

And Grandpa Lu, the instigator of the incident, could only give advice in a low voice in embarrassment.

Zhang Yang saw this scene from across the room and laughed out loud.

At this time, his cell phone suddenly rang.

"Hello? Master, are you out of prison?" Zhang Yang asked the old Taoist priest on the other end of the phone with a smile.

"Out of jail? I wasn't even in jail."

"I know. I'm just asking you in another way. Why did you look for me?"

"Oh, I'm free."

Master Zou Tian on the other end of the phone let out a sigh and said.

The relief he mentioned was that he no longer had to be an undercover agent because everything had been caught.

"Congratulations, you can go back to Longhu Mountain to continue your training."

"Longhu Mountain? How can I go back? They have all expelled me from the list." Master Zou said with a wry smile.

"It's okay, can't we just let the police come out and explain it?"

"No need. There's no need for me to stay in a place that abandons me so decisively."

"So where are you going?"

"Hey hey hey..."

Zou Tianshi on the other end of the phone smiled evilly, which made people's anus tighten.

He asked Zhang Yang: "Do you know that there is actually another inheritance in Longhu Mountain?"
