Chapter 472: Treasures of the Southern Song Dynasty

The shipwreck as a whole is divided into several cabins by partitions. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The cabin is filled with a variety of large and small cargo boxes, and the small space is used to the maximum, which is also an important feature of ocean-going merchant ships in ancient times.

Well, this ship seems to carry more cargo than the previous merchant ship of the Qing Dynasty.

Chen Zhengqian was cautious, but his movements were not slow at all.

He is now much more proficient, after a short period of high-intensity training, after all, the sea is full of too many unknown factors, of course, there is a race against time.

There was also a lot of silt on the surface of the cabin, and it took Chen Zhengqian two hours to clean it up.

At this time, the surrounding light gradually dimmed, and it was almost dark.

Chen Zhengqian turned on the flashlight and continued to work. If you don't have sunlight, you have to speed up your hands.

As time passed, many of the porcelain excavated on the surface became fragments. For such a situation, Chen Zhengqian has long been mentally prepared, after all, you can't expect everything to be well preserved, right, that's not practical.

But he didn't give up, such a big ship, this is the first cabin, there is something to dig.

In this way, Chen Zhengqian quickly dug up the first piece of porcelain that can be called the best.

This is a blue-glazed chrysanthemum plate.

After rinsing it off, it revealed its original true appearance, like a new one, which amazed Chen Zhengqian.

Beautiful, so beautiful!

It was immediately decided that this plate would not be sold and kept as an heirloom!

The color is subtle and bright, and the whole is close to cyan. Chen Zhengqian used to prefer white porcelain, because it was white and bright, but when he saw this plate, he suddenly felt that other colors were also very good-looking.

Looking at the bottom of the bowl again, the traces of the writing of the brush are still as good as new after rinsing the mud.

Chen Zhengqian was a little stunned, and hurriedly put away the baby.

A whole row of celadon chrysanthemum plates of the same type were broken, Chen Zhengqian was heartbroken, and moved all these porcelains out, and then cleaned them, and put the ones with low damage into the Qiankun bag.

These can be fixed.

As more and more porcelain was unearthed, Chen Zhengqian also understood that this should be a merchant ship in the Southern Song Dynasty, because the words "Shaoxing Yuanbao" written on some of the copper coins dug up were vaguely recognizable.

Shaoxing ingots are copper coins minted by Gaozong Zhao Gou of the Southern Song Dynasty during the Shaoxing period, and there are also Shaoxing Tongbao. Now the price of ordinary Shaoxing ingots fluctuates at 50 yuan, and the price of some other special models is on the expensive side.

In addition, Chen Zhengqian also excavated a lot of gold and silver objects, as well as bronze objects.

Gold and silverware will be found on merchant ships, no matter which dynasty. Precious metals are not so easy to oxidize, and the color is easy to identify.

Among them, there was a dragon pattern tail ring made of red gold, which made Chen Zhengqian's eyes shine.

Golden!

And the craftsmanship seems to be pretty good, good stuff!

Chen Zhengqian scraped the filth on it casually, and immediately revealed the golden essence, shining with a golden luster under the strong light.

In addition, there are some gold nuggets and silver taels and the like, after Chen Zhengqian dug them, he washed them hastily and threw them all into the Qiankun bag.

Most of the boat was porcelain, and Chen Zhengqian almost drooled.

With so much porcelain, I don't believe it if I don't get rich.

The Song Dynasty can be said to be a pinnacle of the porcelain industry, and many lost skills cannot be copied even now.

Now the porcelain of the Southern Song Dynasty, the high-quality level, the auction price fluctuates over one million, or even tens of millions. I have picked up so many pieces, how to say that many of them are high-quality level, and there may not be no superb.

For example, the large vase with a carved narrow mouth with blue and white glaze in front of you is filled with a jar of silt, and after the silt is cleared, it is still beautiful, at least it is a fine product.

After all, the celadon and white porcelain in the Song Dynasty were mostly dishes and plates, and large blue and white glazed vases like this are really rare, so they are more and more precious.

The bottle is about 25 cm high, the mouth is 4-5 cm, and the bottom is about 10 cm. It's a big deal.

Chen Zhengqian couldn't estimate the price himself, so he turned around and asked Old Man Yu to take a closer look.

It's a thing of the Song Dynasty, with a history of more than 800 years, Chen Zhengqian himself doesn't believe it!

Starting in the afternoon and digging until more than one o'clock in the morning, Chen Zhengqian finally got the wreck.

In addition to happiness, there is more heartache.

It is conservatively estimated that there are at least more than 10,000 pieces of porcelain in the cabin, but the ones that have been preserved, Chen Zhengqian thinks are still valuable, are less than 3,000, and the others are broken into slag.

Truly intact and undamaged, it is estimated that there are fewer than 1,000 pieces.

There is no one in ten!

But even so, if these porcelains can see the light of day, the conservative value will definitely not be low, how about hundreds of millions. And that's not even counting the harvest of the previous shipwreck.

It's amazing!

This is faster than grabbing money, no wonder why so many salvage companies around the world are wandering around the sea all day long, and they are about to go bankrupt and desperately look for sunken ships all over the world.

If you salvage one, you will definitely get rich!

As for the origin of this shipwreck, Chen Zhengqian estimates that it is similar to the original Nanhai No. 1, which belongs to the merchant ships sunk in the waters near Nanyue on the Maritime Silk Road, and it seems that the age and time are also similar.

In short, not only did I not lose money this time, but I also made a lot of money!

The sea is really a place full of treasures, if it weren't for the fact that the Qiankun bag was almost unfilled, and his dry food had been eaten, Chen Zhengqian might not have planned to continue walking.

As long as there is a baby, even if he endures the negative emotions of loneliness and loneliness alone at the bottom of the sea, it is not unbearable for him.

But come to think of it, let's go back first.

This sea area has been turned over by him, and at most there are only some fish left that have slipped through the net, so it's a big deal to comb it again next time.

When he went back, Chen Zhengqian experienced the taste of crossing the ocean, swimming all the way from the Wailingding Ocean back to the mouth of the Pearl River, without even stopping.

I'm afraid that only with his good physical strength can do this kind of thing.

Chen Zhengqian returned to the villa in Yuezhou, at four o'clock in the morning.

When the big wolf dog saw him return, he looked up and went back to sleep. The two little white tigers didn't even lift their eyelids, and they were almost fat balls.

Pei Chuying and the others didn't spend the night here tonight, and Chen Zhengqian was not afraid that others would find out their little secrets.

Chen Zhengqian locked himself in the collection room and rearranged his previous harvest.

Carefully arrange the porcelain, and now at least fill more than half of the shelves on the wall.

Gold, silver, copper, coins, etc., find another box and put it in the safe in your room.

The next day, I picked out some ordinary points, as well as a small number of fine products, and a small box of copper coins, gold and silver nuggets, and took them to the house where they were specially placed for collection.

These are for the old man, Chen Zhengqian is afraid that if he takes too much at once, the old man will not be able to bear it. And he still understands the truth of the three holes of the cunning rabbit.

After everything was done, he called Old Man Yu.

"Hey, Yu Lao, it's me. ”

Chen Zhengqian said: "I got the things back, but it's a bit much, when can you come over and help take a look?"

As soon as he heard that the things were back, Old Man Yu hurriedly put down his breakfast and shouted to come over immediately, Chen Zhengqian hurriedly asked Zhang Zijie to pick him up.

This little old man is really full of love for antiques.
