The overseas trade of the Ming Dynasty can be said to have begun in the early Ming Dynasty, and the scale was still quite huge, and the sea ban was just a piece of paper most of the time, and there was very little time for it to be strictly enforced.

In the Ming Dynasty, most of the time, the sea ban was almost never actually enforced at all, and the officials have always turned a blind eye.

In fact, since the beginning of the Xuande period, the law of the sea ban has not been strictly enforced, and there are many private people who go to sea to trade.

The Ming Dynasty gradually became a dead letter after Yongle, and the only result was that the high profits of overseas trade were all handed over to private individuals, which stimulated coastal residents to engage in maritime trade to a greater extent.

In the late Ming Dynasty, after more than 200 years of accumulation, the development of overseas trade has become a majestic and prosperous trend. Large quantities of silver flowed into China from the Americas, Japan, and Europe.

Some people have made rough statistics, from 1570 to 1644, more than 12,000 tons of silver from the Americas alone flowed into China, and if the tons are converted into taels, this is equivalent to more than 300 million taels of silver from the Americas flowing into China.

Of course, foreigners will not give silver to the Ming Dynasty in vain, it depends on maritime trade, and a large part of the goods are the porcelain in front of them.

The Westerners who were still using wooden tableware couldn't resist the temptation of Huaxia porcelain at all, so they obediently paid for it.

Although the workmanship of these spoons is average, it is not cheap to replace it nearly 400 years ago, and this spoon is not cheap when it arrives in Europe, so the price is ......

Yasuko Sawaguchi, who didn't dare to dive, was very curious about this question, and asked like a curious baby on the side, "How much can such a soup spoon be sold for?"

Not only was she curious, but also a few guys on the side, the boss earned a lot, and this guy had a lot of bonuses. Until the boss of these things doesn't look down on it, the profits from the sale are either distributed to everyone, or they stay in the salvage company as an operating fund.

"Ten dollars should not be a big problem, the new blue and white porcelain soup spoon of 400 years ago should not be available in the European and American markets, and it may not be possible to sell it for 20 dollars. ”

The first appearance must be expensive, and the price will naturally drop if there are more times.

Zhang Nan said very casually, and several bodyguards who raised the water together were very happy to hear it, this soup spoon can be replaced with "Hamilton" or "Jackson", which is already very good.

The head on the ten-dollar bill is Alexander Hamilton, and the twenty-dollar bill is Andrew Jackson, which will still have a very good purchasing power of the dollar.

However, Yasuko Sawaguchi, a sincere person, actually showed a disappointed expression!

A gold worshipper?

No, she thinks that in Japan, the porcelain of 400 years ago should not be cheap, especially if it is in good condition. It's a feeling of hard work and busyness, and these guys may not even be able to earn back the gas money.

It's a pity to sell antiques.

Zhang Nan saw her appearance, guessed a rough idea, and asked with a smile: "What, it feels cheap?"

That's a good price. ”

Yasuko Sawaguchi said how she felt, but several people on the side were smiling, which made her a little confused.

People who have never been in contact with salvaging ancient shipwrecks think this way, and they have never seen a big scene.

The added value of one is not much, but the bottom of the problem is a wreck.

"There is at least one cabin of soup spoons in the wreck, at least tens of thousands, and it is not a big problem to make some oil money.

Besides, do you think this cargo ship will just carry a bunch of spoons to Europe?"

When the girl heard this, her face turned red: This is ****-naked and despised.

Who made her dare not go down to see it, Hailao porcelain, either she didn't find it, and once she found it, it would be at least this scale.

However, Yasuko Sawaguchi quickly returned to normal, and also took a soup spoon and looked at it for a while, as if her mind was struggling, and said, "Mr. Allen, can you give me two?" I want to take it back and drink the soup. ”

Promising!

It's a bit of an antique person's potential.

I didn't say to buy it, but I saw it.

Of course Zhang Nan agreed, but as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of such a Japanese beauty who has only come out for decades and took a Ming Dynasty soup spoon to drink soup, this picture is really a bit chilling!

I don't dare to continue to think about it, I will have nightmares if I think about it too much!

But I'm embarrassed to say what I thought of, and it was a little uncomfortable to hold back.

Guan Xingquan saw the change in Zhang Nan's expression, his mind turned, he seemed to understand something, and he planned to be a villain, so he simply said: "Jingzi, these spoons can be said to be new, but you must not use them in front of Anan, otherwise he will not be able to eat." ”

What's the situation?

Glancing at the spoon in his hand, and then at Zhang Nan, Sawaguchi Yasuko's mind was a little confused.

Since Boss Guan became a villain first, Zhang Nan simply said that there would be no discordant picture one day: drinking soup in the yacht restaurant, this person took out his own soup spoon from his pocket, scooped a spoonful and stuffed it into his mouth......

Lying on the fork, Zhang Nan is afraid that he will lose his appetite immediately!

"This is a Ming Dynasty style soup spoon, I know there is also a Japanese ben, it should have been imported from the Ming Dynasty a lot, and it will generally be a heirloom.

But in Huaxia, I would never have used such a style of soup spoon to drink soup and eat before, never!"

Emphasized, resolute and categorical emphasis.

Well, the girl is very cooperative, as soon as Zhang Nan paused, she asked, "Why?"

"This thing is small and not very valuable, so very few have been handed down, and they are generally consumed, and even if there are those that have been handed down, they are basically broken.

As for the Ming Dynasty soup spoons that can be seen on the market, where do you say they came from?"

Well, Yasuko Sawaguchi is not a stupid person, and immediately had no intention of drinking soup with this spoon.

Where did it come from?

More than 99% of the Ming Dynasty soup spoons on the market in China are dug up from graves!

The girl is afraid, or the cold grave, and Zhang Nan is because of the actual experience she has encountered.

There were so many excavator friends in my previous life, and there were many tombs in the Ming Dynasty that I had dug up, and many of them had this soup spoon to accompany the burial, and some of them were dug out in front of Zhang Nan's eyes.

The tombs of the Ming Dynasty are not particularly long, and even if some of them are covered with silt, there are no residual coffin boards and dead bones, not to mention those grout tombs that Zhang Nan avoided in his previous life.

Zhang Nan was very bad, told the people around him about the experience he had had, and finally said to Yasuko Sawaguchi: "Don't say it, otherwise if the news is reported, everyone knows it, people are very relatable, and we really won't have the gas money to go back by then." ”

Who is the bad guy?

Zhang Nan also, this is called a typical pit person who is not good for himself!

Yasuko Sawaguchi won't say it, so who will she talk to?

I made up for those disgusting things, put the soup spoon back in the bucket, and felt that it was better to stay away.
