Previous We analyzed the value of Stipunk in the "Latent" drama.
Yu Zecheng won the approval of the station master Wu Jingzhong through a series of operations, and then entrusted him with the task of capturing Ji Weimin.
After the arrest of Ji Weimin, Yu Zecheng not only successfully completed the task, but also quietly withheld the most valuable piece of Ji Weimin's property: the Jade Golden Buddha.
So, who is Ji Weimin?
Did he know that Yu Zecheng had secretly detained the Jade Golden Buddha?
What is the value of this jade golden Buddha known as Liu Yu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty?
If you know, why didn't Ji Weimin expose and report Yu Zecheng?
Today, we will take a good look at it.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="160" >1 Ji Weimin and the history behind it</h1>
In the play, Wu Station Manager introduced Ji Weimin in this way.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="160" >1.1 Economic Monitoring Group</h1>
There is a little flaw here, the "economic inspection team" mentioned in the play should be called the "economic inspection team".
The Economic Control Group is an agency of the Inspectorate of the Ministry of Defence.
Do you think it's familiar?
This is the department that Xia Jicheng transferred to in "Hidden and Great": the Economic Supervision Group of the Supervision Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense.
"Hidden and Great" Xia Jicheng was transferred to the Ministry of National Defense Supervision Bureau
Moreover, the Economic Control Group is subordinate to the Supervision Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense and is not subordinate to the Central Committee.
In addition, the Central Political School was mentioned.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="160" >1.2 Central Political School</h1>
The predecessor of the Central Political School can be traced back to the Central Party Affairs School controlled by Chen Guofu Chen Lifu.
At the beginning of its establishment, this school was regarded as the Party School of the Kuomintang to help Chiang Kai-shek cultivate party talents.
Because Chiang Kai-shek was a military man, his support within the Kuomintang civilian system was low.
In order to oppose the civilian bureaucracy headed by Wang Jingwei, Chiang Kai-shek adopted Chen Guofu's suggestion and set up such a school specializing in cultivating party affairs talents, the purpose of which was to cultivate cronies and achieve dictatorial rule.
On May 20, 1927, the Central Party Affairs School was established in Nanjing.

Who would have thought that Chiang Kai-shek actually chose to set up a party affairs school on the day of the 520 confession, which is indeed quite romantic!
At the beginning of the establishment of the school, Chiang Kai-shek attached great importance to it, not only personally serving as the principal, but also appointing Dai Jitao as the director of academic affairs, Ding Weifen as the director of training, and Chen Guofu as the director of general affairs.
Chiang Kai-shek hoped that the school would become the cradle of the Kuomintang civilian officials, and together with the Whampoa Military Academy, it would become the right and left arm of his rule.
In 1929, in order to attract more talents, the school was renamed the Central Political School. The brothers Chen Guofu and Chen Lifu began to control the central government president for nearly 20 years.

The significance of the Central Political School is extremely special, this is a rare high-level political cadre school in the Kuomintang, and the graduates have basically entered the Kuomintang political arena, of which the Kuomintang Central Party Department is the largest, and many of these people have become the closest and followers of the Chen brothers.
That's why there is that sentence: The Chen Family Party in the Jiang Family World.
At that time, the Central Political School was also corresponding to the Central Cadre School.
In the first video, we briefly introduced this school.
Chiang Ching-kuo once squeezed out Kang Ze at the Central Cadre School.
These two schools were actually the Kuomintang's regimental schools and party schools.
The Central Cadre School, equivalent to the Kuomintang League School, mainly trains young political cadres.
The Central Political School, equivalent to the Kuomintang Party School, mainly trains senior political cadres.
In 1946, Chiang Kai-shek advocated the merger of the two schools into national chengchi university, with Chiang Ching-kuo as the chief education officer.
National Cheng-Rijing University
However, this move was strongly opposed by the Kuomintang elders led by the Chen brothers, who obstructed and set up various obstacles, and eventually Chiang Ching-kuo had to resign voluntarily.
Therefore, later, Chiang Ching-kuo established the Iron Blood Salvation Congress in an attempt to gradually replace the old faction in the Kuomintang, which was introduced in "No War in Peiping".
When talking about the Central Political School, Wu Jingzhong also mentioned a word: the old reformer.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="160" >1.3 reshuffle</h1>
The reorganization faction, the full name is the Chinese Kuomintang Reorganization Comrades Association.
In 1928, Chen Gongbo, Gu Mengyu and others initiated the establishment, claiming to gather revolutionary comrades, reformulate the program, and reorganize the Kuomintang, with the slogan of "restoring the spirit of reorganizing the Kuomintang in the thirteen years of the Republic of China."
However, this organization was actually aimed at restructuring to oppose Chiang Kai-shek and to compete for the leadership of the Kuomintang.
The reorganization faction once took advantage of Chiang Kai-shek's contradictions with local warlords such as Zhang Fakui, Tang Shengzhi, and Shi Yousan to try to mobilize an army to overthrow Chiang Kai-shek, but all of them ended in failure.
After the September 18 Incident in 1931, Wang Jingwei reconciled with Chiang Kai-shek and the reorganization faction was formally dissolved.
Wang Jingwei (left) and Chiang Kai-shek (right)
From the initial establishment to the final dissolution. The people of the reorganized faction have always had a good relationship with Wang Jingwei, and have even always regarded Wang Jingwei as the leader of the revolution.
This is because Wang Jingwei was once the chairman of the Kuomintang, and he had initially served as a secretary to Sun Yat-sen, and was Sun Yat-sen's designated successor.
Before defecting to Japan, Wang Jingwei had always been very popular in the Kuomintang.
In order to oppose Wang Jingwei, Chiang Kai-shek deliberately supported Chen Guofu Chen Lifu and Wang Jingwei in their struggle for control of the Kuomintang.
Therefore, the flaw here is that since Ji Weimin belongs to the reorganization faction that is good friends with Wang Jingwei, it is impossible to defect to the CC department and the central unification of the Chen brothers.
After the arrest of Ji Weimin, Yu Zecheng quietly withheld the most valuable jade golden Buddha and gave it to the station master when disposing of the stolen goods.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="212" >2 Jade Golden Buddha</h1>
Yu Zecheng once introduced this when describing this golden Buddha.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="160" >2.1 Liu Yu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty</h1>
The first mention is Liu Yu.
Liu Yu, a powerful minister in the last years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, once made great achievements in the southern conquest of the northern war.
In his later years, he imitated Cao Pi and Sima Zhao, took the throne, and changed the name of the country to Song, opening the era of the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
Eastern Jin Dynasty Liu Yu
According to historical records, Liu Yu was not blindly superstitious about Buddhism, and his life was relatively simple.
Therefore, about his treasure of the town house, the Jade Golden Buddha, it is likely that the director made up a fiction.
However, Liu Yu lived in the last years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Historically, it was customary to put the Wei and Jin dynasties together, because during this period, Buddhism was very popular in the Central Plains.
Du Mu once had a poem:
Four hundred and eighty temples in the south, how many buildings in the smoke and rain.
At that time, from the relatives of the emperor and the state to the people of Li, they were very enthusiastic about offering Buddha statues.
It can be seen that there is still a certain reason for the latent crew to choose the Buddha statue.
So how much is this golden Buddha worth?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="160" >2.2 The value of the Golden Buddha</h1>
Since there are no physical objects, I will compare them with artifacts from the same historical period.
There was a similar auction item on the Internet before: the seated statue of Shakyamuni.
Shakyamuni sat in a seated image of the Golden Buddha
The dimensions of this Buddha statue are: height 38 cm, length 20 cm, width 14 cm.
According to the calculation of one foot and 33 centimeters, it is basically in line with the height of more than one foot described by Yu Zecheng.
Moreover, this Buddha statue is made of bronze and weighs about 6.8kg.
Ancient smelting technology is limited, so bronze is not pure copper, but copper-tin alloy, the density is about 8.7-8.9g / cubic centimeter, and the density of gold is about 19.3g / cubic centimeter.
According to equal proportions, if this Statue of Shakyamuni Buddha is gold, the mass is about 15kg.
In other words, excluding the jade seat, the golden Buddha alone has 15 kilograms.
I hold my nine-month-old child at home every day, and I am only 8-9 kilograms.
According to the gold-to-DOLLAR ratio at that time, 35 dollars an ounce of gold, 15 kilograms for a total of 529 ounces.
The golden Buddha can be exchanged for $18,515, and it is 1947 dollars.
According to today, an ounce is exchanged for $1735, and the purchasing power is equivalent to $918,000 today.
Please note that only the golden value of the Golden Buddha is calculated here.
That is to say, we are calculated by melting the golden Buddha and weighing and selling gold.
What about the jade seat under the Golden Buddha?
Such a valuable golden Buddha, with a jade seat must also be excellent jade, the price is naturally not cheap.
In addition, according to the setting in the play, this is a cultural relic of the Southern and Northern Dynasties period, dating back at least 1600 years.
After countless wars, it has been preserved, and it is really a rare treasure.
There was once a Northern Qi gold-plated limestone Buddha statue, about 70 centimeters high, and the auction price was between 1.2 million and 1.8 million US dollars.
Northern Qi's gold-plated limestone Buddha statues
This is just a stone statue with gold, but what if it is pure gold?
The price really can't imagine!
Wu Jingzhong, who is keen on the collection of antique cultural relics, naturally understands the value of this golden Buddha.
No wonder he immediately gave Yu Zecheng a report on his promotion to lieutenant colonel, and hinted that his position as deputy station chief was promising.
This is all in exchange for the Jade Golden Buddha!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="160" >2.3 Yu Zecheng How to privately deduct the golden Buddha? </h1>
How did Yu Zecheng hide such a priceless golden Buddha?
Wasn't he afraid of Ji Weimin's denunciation? Not afraid to be denounced by your subordinates?
When Ji Weimin was arrested, Yu Zecheng, Ji Weimin, and the Secrecy Bureau were all at the scene.
Moreover, when registering the stolen goods, it is impossible for only Yu Zecheng to be alone, and Yu Zecheng is not afraid of Ji Weimin biting him back?
There are two reasons for this.
Let's start with the people of the Secret Service.
Although Yu Zecheng was not a deputy station chief at this time, he was also a middle and high-ranking member of Tianjin Station, and according to the family rules of the military command, it was actually difficult for subordinates to expose their superiors, which was regarded as a great disrespect.
Therefore, the people of the Secrecy Bureau do not dare to expose the whistle-blowing.
In the previous plot, Yu Zecheng once explained: Loyalty to the party-state must first be loyal to the chief.
Later in the plot, Li Ya sent people to track Yu Zecheng and was discovered, and Yu Zecheng not only slapped him, but also said a word: If Boss Dai is alive, he will definitely be severely punished.
The negative teaching material is Ma Kui, who secretly investigated the corruption of the station manager, and the result was directly identified as an undercover agent of the CCP.
Ma Kui
Secondly, let's talk about Ji Weimin.
This was only discovered after a fan reminded me.
When Ji Weimin was arrested, there was a detail that was easy to overlook, that is, Ji Weimin once said a sentence: Ask Mr. Yu to spare my sister.
Yu Zecheng's answer was: Start the booty first.
Later, when Yu Zecheng dared to take away the Golden Buddha, he must have made some kind of deal with Ji Weimin: exchanging the Golden Buddha for the peace of his family.
Because Ji Weimin's sister has the criminal facts of harboring wanted criminals.
Yu Zecheng used this reason in exchange, and Ji Weimin couldn't say anything, because he had no room for bargaining.
That is to say, Yu Zecheng will no longer pursue the crime of Ji Weimin's sister's family harboring wanted criminals, and Ji Weimin will not expose Yu Zecheng and Jin Fo.
Two people, each taking what they need, is a win-win situation.
So, what if Ji Wei repents after civility and reports Yu Zecheng?
This is obviously impossible!
Ji Weimin would not be unaware that the style of military command has always been known for its viciousness.
Once he repented, then his sister's family would immediately be retaliated against by the military command.
And once he was captured by the military command, it was really nine deaths.
Therefore, Ji Wei used a golden Buddha that no longer belonged to him, and exchanged it for the safety of his family, which was a good deal.
Yu, on the other hand, is more cost-effective, using other people's things to give gifts, borrowing flowers to offer Buddhas and doing what he likes;
Not only was he successfully promoted to lieutenant colonel, but he was also one step closer to becoming a deputy station chief in the future.
