"No matter how valuable it is, it's still a bowl, it's a big deal that the emperor may have used it. Speaking of this, Zhang Nan stopped and said, "It's more likely that no emperor has ever used this thing at all, who knows."

In fact, the emperor has used a lot of things, and some people like to raise these daily consumables too high, and this bowl will be auctioned on the Xiangjiang River, and it will be no problem for a million dollars.

If I had to do it, I could multiply it 20 times more in 20 years!

In fact, it's just an ordinary emperor's eating object, or a stupid emperor's rice bowl, can it be so expensive?

Art, antiques, hehe...... The Ming Dynasty was slowly consumed by the policies that began with Emperor Xuande!"

The craftsmanship is superb, and many of them are actually blown up by later generations, such as this Su Ma Liqing, there will be flaws, but ......

Just because it is Su Ma Liqing brought back by Zheng He, it is good!

What the?

Blemishes, rust?

That's the feature, okay!

Art antiques, that's what it's all about, hype from generation to generation, hello, hello, hello, everyone.

However, this Emperor Xuande is an idiot?

The history of the Ming Dynasty was revised by the Braided Dynasty, but some histories cannot be changed, such as national policies.

Emperor Xuande had the prince Zhu Yuanzhang and grandfather Zhu Di to leave him a great country, and the social economy of the Ming Dynasty was already the most stable period of the Ming Dynasty at this time.

Personally, Emperor Xuande has profound cultural attainments, poetry and literary brilliance, and because he has been valued by his grandfather Zhu Di since he was a child, and has undergone good military training, he can be said to be a Ming Jun who can write and martial arts.

This stupid?

He has set out to effectively rectify the government and the army, and he attacked Mongolia in the north and ordered Zheng He to go to the West for the last time, is this stupid?

Boss Guan has read a little bit of the history of the Ming Dynasty, and he doesn't agree with Zhang Nan's statement - no matter how you say it, that emperor can't be said to be stupid, right?

In this regard, Zhang Nan said with a smile: "Brother Guan, this Xuande Emperor Zhu Zhanji, if it is only from the ten years of his reign, then he is a Ming Jun."

From the perspective of his descendants, the emperor and the entire Ming Dynasty, and even from the perspective of Huaxia, they were all miserable by this guy!

…… Don't believe it, the problem lies in his national strategic thinking, and if he uses the theory that 'the solidity of mountains and rivers is in virtue and not in danger', if all he needs to deal with is internal contradictions, then this is not a big problem.

Can be external... Hehe, convincing people with virtue is a big joke!

Daming is not an island country, and the surroundings are not peaceful at all, this is chronic suicide!

It was because of this stupid national policy that the Ming Dynasty took the initiative to abandon a large number of strategic places that could be used as bases in geopolitics, such as the Jiaozhi Chengxuan Political Envoy Division in the south and Kaipingwei in the north.

Jiaozhi is adjacent to the southwest and Indochina Peninsula, and the abandonment of Jiaozhi directly dealt a blow to the prestige of those indigenous Xuanwei Divisions to the central government of the Ming Dynasty.

This is not the most fatal, giving up Kaipingwei directly opened the northern gateway of the Ming Dynasty, and abolished the passage from the western part of the Mongolian steppe to the northeast.

In this way, from the capital to Nuergan, the control line of the command envoy was actually left with only one Liaoxi corridor.

The guards in the north were abolished, and one of the strategic ideas was 'the closer to the interior, the cheaper the money', and the troops were allocated to thousands of castles and thousands of piers near the Great Wall.

The Ming Dynasty's defense line shrank, and the result was that the tile spurs could concentrate superior forces to attack any castle and pier of the Ming army's garrison, but the Ming army's soldiers and horses were scattered and could not support each other in a short period of time to organize a strategic counteroffensive.

Originally, the conditions of the northern Zhuwei jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty were actually very good, from the Han Dynasty was the fertile Wuyuan County in Yunzhong, to the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, the annual market of commercial grain reached several million stones, and the Tuntian horse raising could be taken into account, so it was given up.

Zhu Zhanji did this, and the military expenditure fell in the short term, but in the future, his policy directly caused the Ming Dynasty to increase military salaries for the rebellion of the Xuanwei Division in southwest Burma, the rebellion of the envoys commanded by Nuergandu in the northeast, the Great Wall guard against the Tartary in the north, and the production destruction of the rich places in the south of the Yangtze River by the southern pirate group!

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the tax revenue in the rich areas south of the Yangtze River could not rise, so they could only go to the barren land in the northwest to squeeze, and forced the peasant army to rebel.

Playing two-front combat can consume oneself to death, Zhu Zhanji is stepping on his descendants and the entire Ming Dynasty to fight on the fifth front, the result... It was the Ming Dynasty that was finally slowly consumed.

This is the same as the flowering of bamboo, 200 years, just right, the fall of the Ming Dynasty, I think it is doomed from the beginning of the change of the national policy of Emperor Xuande.

Such an emperor is not interesting. ”

A few years ago, a large area of arrow bamboo flowering occurred in the Mianshan area in the northwest of Xichuan Province: those bamboos bloom once every 100 years, and then die after flowering, and the new bamboo forests must start from the germination period of the seeds, and it takes twenty or thirty years to fully recover, and the result is that the only way to use aviation power to transport bamboo for the giant pandas is not to starve to death.

Arrow bamboo, there are also in Europe, Guan Boss and Zhang Nan have seen each other when they were in Europe, and Zhang Nan predicted at that time: The arrow bamboo in the whole of Europe will bloom and die together one day.

This is not judged by the plug-in of a reborn, but because history is the same science: whether it is a year old bamboo, a year or two of new bamboo, because the source is the mother bamboo brought back from China, and the genes are determined.

The Ming Dynasty originally had very good genes, but as soon as Zhu Zhanji's national policy changed, it would be over!

Doomed, a series of influences such as the Xiaoice period are just catalysts.

Boss Guan has no words, and when it comes to history, the ten of him together are not Zhang Nan's opponents.

But it doesn't matter, get used to it.

Just such an emperor's small plaything, Zhang Nan remembers that there was a similar one more than 20 years later, which was operated by the auction house as a "unique national weapon", and it was sold for more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars!

The most important weapon of the country?

Is it just such a big bowl?

Phew!

If this bowl is also matched, then the four words "the weight of the country" are too worthless!

Hype, it's all money at fault.

This person, as his horizons are expanded, his concept will also change. A few years ago, Zhang Nan got the Yuan blue and white jar, and he was very excited, but if he changed it here, the feeling would be much lighter.

Heavy ware, ordinary porcelain is really not counted, bronze, or a small amount of calligraphy and painting.

If you insist on being a heavy weapon, the lotus leaf lid jar that Zhang Nan got from Xichuan can probably be called, but it is not worthy of the "important weapon of the country".

There is a lot less of it, and there is not much of it, maybe one day there will be a legendary-level treasure, such as the "heirloom jade seal", which can be called the "important weapon of the country".

The important weapon of the country should not be used indiscriminately.

Seeing that Boss Guan seemed to be very interested in this bowl, Zhang Nan directly stuffed the thing into his hand: "You like you to take it." ”

Porcelain can't be used, that's business, and there is no need between Zhang Nan and Guan Xingquan.

If you fall, you fall, just a bowl.

As soon as Guan Xingquan took it, he put the things back on the table, "I don't want it, I'm afraid of falling." ”

Whatever, you're welcome with him.

There are two separate small cardboard boxes in this box, and there are a few words on the list "doll toys", and the price is not written, when he talked to Henry on the phone before, Henry said that these are two dolls that he bought with his own money, and gave them to Zhang Nan's eldest daughter.

As for the boss's son, he is still young, and this doll is not suitable for boys to play with.

As soon as the box was opened, two porcelain dolls with exquisite workmanship looked similar to the high-end dolls sold in the mall at first glance.

However, the heads of the two in the box are ceramic, wooden jointed bodies, very finely polished, and the wood color is similar to human skin, each about 60 centimeters high.

One of them wore a blonde wig, had teeth, and was dressed in beautiful clothes: a lace-silk skirt on the outside, breeches and petticoats on the inside, stockings and black leather shoes.

The other doll has black hair and a different outfit, the others are the same.

But take a closer look: these are no ordinary dolls at all, they are just two antiques.

The "skin" of the doll's hand is similar to Zhang Nan's hand, which is actually the color of the wood after nearly a hundred years of change, and when they were first made, the skin color of this hand should be whiter.

It's an old thing, the problem is that Zhang Nan doesn't understand Western antique dolls, which is an unpopular in the Chinese collecting world, and almost no one will play this.

But it doesn't matter if you don't understand, as long as someone in the manor understands.

Calling the Western antiques expert who was busy in the basement warehouse next door, people recognized at a glance what the two dolls were.

"Boss, this is a German Armand Marseille doll, it should be a product of the late 19th century, and the Armand Marseille doll after the 20th century is slightly different from this one.

These two dolls are in good physical condition, and their eyes can open and close normally, which is rare. However, the age of this costume is difficult to estimate, it may be the original match, or it may be the back..."

The back of the doll's head under the hair is engraved with the same trademark "MadeinGermany" in Shanghai, "... Excellent original!"

"How much is it worth?"

Zhang Nan needs to know how much money Henry spent, and it is unlikely that dolls like this will be missed, because their preservation state is good enough, and the original owner should be knowledgeable.

"$10,000 to $12,000 each. ”

The expert left, Zhang Nan put the two dolls on the sofa, how did he look like two children sitting there.

It's so realistic, it feels a little weird.

"Brother Guan, I see that these two dolls will be put in the warehouse first, and then we will talk about it in one town. And... If I play with my sister now, three days, three days at most, I see that these two dolls' heads will have to move. ”

Find a reason to hide it.

It seems to make sense: children are amazingly destructive, and such dolls can only be played by children after the age of three or four.

In fact, there is another reason: I watched too many "ghost doll movies" in my previous life, and this time Henry gave a gift that really slapped the boss's legs! These two dolls are not to mention the younger sister who is still too young, and even Lily, who is suitable for playing with these doll toys, Zhang Nan will not give her to play.

It just feels evil!

Last year, when I was idle and had nothing to read the newspaper, Zhang Nan also saw a report: it said that there was a relationship between a woman named Karina and her collection of antique dolls.

What put the doll at the head of the bed, there was a feeling of a child's hand touching her feet one night.

That Karina thought it was her two sons who had secretly run to play a prank, but found the room empty.

That Karina has a collection of hundreds of antique dolls, and she and her friends who are also fond of the supernatural use various instruments to record these supernatural phenomena, and it is said that she once recorded the voice of a little girl saying, "You are beautiful!"

This is still the good version, as for the evil ...

Don't talk about it.

A child's mind is simple, a doll is a doll, and an adult's mind is too complicated, and the doll will feel evil when it looks at it, and I don't know whether it is growing or degrading.

put away the things, and Zhang Nan went to be his dad again.

Early the next morning, a satellite phone came from the southernmost part of the South China Sea, and it was the leader of the diving salvage team, Vita.

The salvage of the "Taixing" shipwreck has basically ended, and millions of cultural relics have been put out of the water, and the "Big Shark" will change berths in two or three days at most, and it is necessary to start with the "Blackstone" as soon as possible.

"Boss, should we wait until you come before we do it?"

Vita called and discussed the result with the captain about this, so as not to upset the boss.

Zhang Nan on the other end of the phone thought for a moment and said, "You don't have to worry about me, the salvage is, I will come when I have time, if I don't have time, forget it."

Also, there is no shortage of video materials, and things have to be sold for a large price, which are indispensable. ”

"Understood, boss!"

"Also, the cultural relics on the Blackstone are relatively much more valuable than those on the Taixing, so be careful!

Also, the Arabs were fond of gold and silver, and there was a high probability that gold and silver would appear on board. The gold and silver wares of the Tang Dynasty in China, whether they were from the Tang Dynasty or Arabia, were all good things. ”

"Yes, boss, we will be very careful......"

After making the call, Nicole and Jenny, who were going to the Empire State Building, asked what was going on at breakfast, and Zhang Nanyi said.

"You can go if you want, and no one will stop you. ”

This is Nicole, and she thought that her man was taking care of the thoughts of the women in the family, so he didn't go halfway around the world this time.

Zhang Nan ate xiaolongbao in his mouth and said, "Don't be too lazy to move, this will heat up the cow over there, soak in the seawater, and come back with black charcoal."

Look at me, it's the South China Sea, Australia and the South American plateau, and they're all about to turn into Zack.

Just came back in the past two days, and then go?

Forget it.

Besides, the water depth is 15 meters, and my diving skills that can't swim are estimated to be unbearable.

I'll talk about it when I've got a lot of money over there, and if I have time, I'll go again. ”

The man himself couldn't say far away, and no one forced him to go.

Jenny asked if she had any ideas for a trip to Italy in a few days, and Charlie wanted to see the blueprints of the big ship during the summer holidays and watch the World Cup by the way.

If they have time, the family can also go to Austria to see the castle estate of Princess Sissi by the lake, as well as the foundation of the hilltop castle that has been drawn up and tendered.

For various reasons, the project there will not start on a small scale until August this year, and it will have to be temporarily suspended for three months to wait for the winter to pass.

These three months are to do the early cleaning of the foundation, and the construction team of Huaxia will be dozens of people, because it is useless to go too many people at once, and the large-scale launch will have to wait for the spring of next year.
