In addition to Zhang Nan's employees on the "Big Shark", there is also an "outsider" from Yongcheng, Huaxia: it is not Comrade Nong Bosheng, and Comrade Director is also the deputy director, so it is impossible to come here to help.

He is a student of Nong Bosheng, named Chen Jianghua, a native of Yongcheng, and is now a researcher at the Yongcheng Exhibition Hall.

Zhang Nan didn't have time to stare at the salvage boat, and it would be best if there was a knowledgeable person to watch the salvage, and he could also guide the guys who worked to classify the items out of the water at the first time, which could save a lot of time for the fine classification in the future.

This requires that the person in charge of this important duty must not only know how to do it, but also know all kinds of porcelain and miscellaneous, and it is not easy to find people who are raised!

What to do?

Looking for Comrade Bosheng.

Zhang Nan has done a lot of help to help the Yongcheng Museum, and as soon as he said this on the phone, Director Nong immediately agreed: he can't get over by himself, but there are many students!

Now it is troublesome to go to the United States, but the shipwreck is in Indonesia, and this person does not have to go to the North American continent: let the Indonesian Chinese group that partners in business do a small favor and send a cultural exchange invitation to the Yongcheng Exhibition Center.

That's it.

The director of the agricultural curator is also the deputy director of the Cultural Bureau, and a set of procedures for his subordinates to go abroad was quickly completed, and Comrade Chen Jianghua went to Jakarta and was sent abroad for half a year.

The guy who went to pick up the people in the salvage team and the accompanying staff of the Lin Jianghe family took Chen Jianghua to Belitung Island again, and then got on the ship: although it is now 90 years, it is extremely popular to be able to travel abroad, no matter which foreign country it is, not to mention the high subsidy given by the unit.

Nong Bosheng didn't hide it from his own students, if it weren't for the trust and good relationship, it wouldn't be Chen Jianghua's turn: go to the boat to endure hardships for a while, and if he can get some exhibits for the exhibition hall back, it is estimated that Boss Zhang, whom Chen Jianghua has seen, will not let him work hard for a few months in vain.

Zhang Nan had seen Chen Jianghua in Yongcheng and was a little impressed, but he almost didn't recognize it: not to mention the black, he also shaved his head.

The sun is too big, the sea is soaking, and many of the guys on this boat are showing off their big bald heads and wearing big straw hats.

After greeting and thanking each other, when he arrived at the container lounge, researcher Chen immediately talked about the cultural relics of the "Blackstone" and "Taixing".

It's not about what precious items are first, but how to classify them!

Zhang Nan was born as a native and antique dealer, and he did not learn the systematic classification of cultural relics, which is 108,000 miles behind Chen Jianghua, and even the two Western antiques and art experts in Changdao Manor are more professional than himself.

"Mr. Zhang, I took the time to take a look at the cultural relics of the Taixing, and it is initially estimated that there are millions of pieces of porcelain, and it will be a huge project to classify them systematically.

Moreover, many of the cultural relics in those items will be auctioned and sold, so it is best to ship the whole ship to the auction site and find a relatively large enough place to classify.

In this way, the volume of processing and transshipment of fine products is relatively small, which can reduce the transportation cost, otherwise the repackaging of these porcelains will consume a lot of time and labor. ”

Chen Jianghua is good, not only a researcher, but also learned the essence of his teacher's life professional and pedant, but not old-fashioned.

Zhang Nan thought about it and didn't react to his words, but said to Jamie, who was sitting on the side: "If you go to Hamburg, it's inconvenient?"

"There is no problem with the route, but we also need to understand the regulations on the entry of porcelain in West Germany. ”

Well, after listening to Mr. Captain's words, Zhang Nan found that this problem was not as simple as he thought, and the aged Clark porcelain was the most popular in Europe, and it was impossible for this million pieces of porcelain to be kept as a treasure.

If you sell it in the U.S., you will make a lot less money than in Europe. Even if it is only a business of tens of millions of dollars, it is a small trick for Zhang Nan, but it is not a small amount of money for the salvage team members who have worked hard for several months, and some of this money will be their bonus.

You take a few plates to Germany, and even the customs will ignore you......;

Hehe!

Does German customs count you as importing porcelain, or do you count your imports of antiques?

No matter what it is, it is certain that taxes will be collected. This means that we have to find out the relevant laws in Germany, so as not to be tired and tired, but let others make a fortune in vain.

As soon as this question came up, Captain Philip, who was in the same place, thought for a moment and said, "Boss, I can find out about this."

I don't think it can be like this, the Blackstone's water-out artifacts are disembarking in the United States. If it is feasible, boss, I think it is more appropriate to transport the things of the Taixing to the port of Hamburg. ”

Zhang Nan said "um" first, and said, "That big warehouse in Hamburg is just empty and can be used." As for the classification... Jiang Hua, I said hello to the director of the agricultural curator, and I will find some of your staff to help when the time comes, and it is estimated that by next year, those guys may ask you to lead the team. ”

Chen Jianghua heard the teacher say that these jobs are not done in vain, not only do they have a lot of subsidies from private individuals, but the exhibition hall will also get a lot of precious exhibits, and Mr. Zhang Nan is not stingy.

As for the reason for working abroad for a period of time, it is very good to find cultural exchanges and joint research, and there are precedents for similar cooperation projects, as long as Nong Bosheng, the leader, finds a way to take the lead, the others are all minor problems.

And when you go abroad to Western Europe and the United States, people from those exhibition halls will definitely participate in it.

What if there are not enough people?

There are a lot of counties and cities under the Yongcheng area, and there are researchers from the Cultural Management Committee in each place, just transfer people, and those guys are estimated to sharpen their heads for the opportunity to go abroad.

Zhang Nan also said, no matter whether you open the back door or not, as long as you know how to do it and can work, you don't want it!

In this regard, Nong Bosheng also simply: "There must be related households, but they are all capable of working, who dares to be an uncle on your territory abroad?"

This is also the case, in China, you can be an uncle on one acre and three points of land in your own unit, but when you go abroad, you have to be an honest researcher and sorter for a few months.

Want to be a thorn?

It is guaranteed that the thorn and the uncle will be made to death!

It's good to go to Europe and the United States, Chen Jianghua said with a smile: "I'm sorry, this time the teacher sent me out, and a large group of wolves behind me had green eyes." It's okay to go to Western Europe, but it will be very troublesome to get a visa to the United States. ”

"Don't worry, it won't be a hassle in a few months. ”

Chen Jianghua and Jamie Borstwick didn't understand Zhang Nan's words: they didn't watch satellite TV at all today, and they didn't listen to the radio, and they were a little out of touch with the world.

Zhang Nan looked at this reaction and said: "At two o'clock this morning, Iraq's 100,000 troops invaded Kuwait, which will be very lively in the world, and the two aircraft carrier battle groups of the US Navy have already gone to the Persian Gulf.

At most, three to five months, the visa to the United States should be liberalized a lot. ”

What does the outbreak of war in the Persian Gulf have to do with visas to the United States?

Everyone is smart, and their minds are spinning... I see.

If the United States wants to get rid of the powerful Iraq, the United States cannot do this alone, and it must ask the United Nations to do such a big thing, which will require the nod of the five major powers, otherwise the United States will not dare to do it alone.

More than 10 years later, the United States is awesome, what is the United Nations?

However, Iraq today is not a Panama like a sesame mung bean, and uncles do not love it, and this will make Washington want to carry out such a large-scale military action with extensive international relations, and it will not have the courage to abandon the United Nations and pull in a few younger brothers.

At this point, many problems are easily solved: people live in the world, and their whole lives are actually spent in various struggles and compromises, and no one is an exception.

You can't say it explicitly, you can only understand it.

Intransigence?

That's probably the realm of a fool to do.

......

Roughly determining the whereabouts of the cultural relics out of the water, a group of people went to a container warehouse next door, where the fine cultural relics that Chen Jianghua had selected when the items came out of the water were stored.

Zhang Nan had already known on the phone what good things were probably coming out of the water in the "Blackstone", but as soon as he entered the container, he felt the difference between himself and the real archaeologists.

Everyone is an expert, but the wild road and the academic school are different, and it is impossible to end up in the same way!

Boutiques, all of them are boutiques, but Zhang Nan and Chen Jianghua's understanding of the concept of "boutique" is very different: Zhang Nan unconsciously values the value of money, while Chen Jianghua prefers the value of research.

There are buckets and water cabinets stacked in the container, not the shelves and boxes in other warehouses, which are consuming fresh water that is troublesome to transport, and desalting fine porcelain.

Generally, it doesn't matter if the cultural relics come out of the water, the sooner the desalination operation of good things is better.

The first water tank that Chen Zhanghua opened was a strangely shaped porcelain placed horizontally: very tall, very big! In order to protect the utensils from accidental collision damage, there were also a lot of sponges in the water tank.

Chen Jianghua squatted down and said to Zhang Nan: "Mr. Zhang, I judge that this should be a white-glazed and green-colored high-foot pot fired by a kiln in Gong-xian County, Henan Province, and the whole vessel is not damaged at all." You can name it, because as far as I know, there is absolutely no other similar object in the world so far.

It's unique in the world!"

White glaze green color, the water outlet is the dragon's head, the crank and the neck of the pot are very slender, extra-high, the overall height is more than one meter, which is nearly 1,200 years ago properly belonged to the super-large porcelain.

Whether it is unearthed, fished or handed down, whether it is at home or abroad in China, there has never been such a type of appliance before!

Zhang Nan also squatted down and took a closer look at it, which was more beautiful than the profile photos he had seen in his previous life!

"I think it's named 'Dragon Head Long Neck High Foot Flower Watering', such a large vessel is unlikely to be used to pour tea. ”

Flower watering, a kind of pot dedicated to watering flowers, the shape imitates West Asian bronze, there is a flow along one side of the mouth, a straight neck, and a crank is connected between the mouth and the shoulder. It is generally believed that the flower pouring began to be fired in the Song Dynasty, which was popular in the Yongle and Xuande periods of the Ming Dynasty and continued to the Qing Dynasty.

Was there a flower watering in the Tang Dynasty?

Zhang Nan personally thinks that there should be, if the original nobles wanted to cultivate their sentiments and water the flowers, would they take a big water scoop and pour it down?

Imagine Yang Yuhuan, who loves peony flowers, doing this with a water scoop... The style of painting is a bit wrong.

Of course, it is estimated that Yang Yuhuan will not be able to use such a large flower watering, and the palace maids and eunuchs of the Delux type can have fun.

Guessing its use by the type of instrument and naming it after the possible use are all common tricks in the archaeological field Chen Jianghua knew that Zhang Nan was an expert, and when he heard this name, he praised it in his heart.

Zhang Nan, the cultural relics of the "Black Stone", will not be sold, and at most some of the artifacts that are too duplicative will be donated to some collection institutions, and the Yongcheng Museum will probably be the biggest beneficiary.

However, don't think about this "dragon head long neck and high foot flower watering" Nong Bosheng and Chen Jianghua, at most they hope to borrow it when they engage in theme exhibitions to strengthen the façade.

Cover the lid and don't take the thing out of the water tank, so as not to bump this thing looks beautiful, but the neck is too thin, Zhang Nan is afraid that he will take it out rashly and break it.

I knew that about 40 precious gold and silver artifacts had been found in the Weta Bruno "Blackstone", but Chen Jianghua did not rush to move those precious metal artifacts out, but carried the four plates in the buckets next to the water cabinet.

In his eyes, it was a plate that was worth more than the gold and silver artifacts.

"Tang Qinghua!"

Seeing the contents of the bucket clearly, Zhang Nan couldn't help but say: In two lifetimes combined, this is the first time I have seen Tang Qinghua with my own eyes.

This is Tang Qinghua!

Tang Qinghua is considered to be the earliest known blue and white porcelain in China, but there is a question that many people in the circle will have: is Tang Qinghua a blue and white porcelain in the real sense?

"The 4 plates, when the water comes out, are put together, the carcass is relatively thin, I looked, it is light yellowish white, the sintering is not very dense, relatively loose. ”

As he spoke, Chen Jianghua took one out of the bucket, and Zhang Nan also took a look.

Chen Jianghua continued: "This is also the first time I have started Tang Qinghua, the color process looks at the first layer of transparent glaze on the surface of the carcass, then use cobalt material to trace the pattern on the glaze, and finally cover the pattern with a layer of transparent glaze, blue and white decoration is between the upper and lower layers of glaze. ”

Zhang Nan also looked at it carefully, "Well, it's the glaze color, not the underglaze color." Jiang Hua, do you think this kiln will be?"

Blue and white porcelain, a typical underglaze color, this will really few people know that the earliest Tang Dynasty blue and white is glaze color. And Zhang Nan is familiar with Jingdezhen Qinghua, but Tang Qinghua...

Not cooked at all.

Not thinking about this question made Chen Jianghua smile bitterly, "The glaze of these four plates is exactly the same as the white porcelain glaze of Gongyi kiln that comes out of the water together, but there are obvious differences between the two in terms of carcass, production process and loading and firing process.

The carcass of Gongyi kiln white porcelain is coarse and loose, the degree of sintering is relatively high, the tire glaze is sintered tightly, and it is not easy to peel the glaze.

The carcass of these four Tang blue and white discs is more delicate, but the degree of sintering is low, and there is a layer of makeup soil on the surface of the carcass between the glazes, and the sintering is not very tight, and one plate has been peeled off the glaze..."

Cosmetic clay is to mix fine clay or porcelain clay with water to form a mud and apply it to the pottery or porcelain tire, leaving a thin layer of color paste on the surface of the utensil.

This process is called cosmetic soil in ceramic technology, also called "pottery clothes", "decorative soil", "tire protection glaze", which plays the role of beautifying the tread, avoiding a large amount of glaze water and burning of the blank tire, and filling the pores of the billet tire.
