Chapter 631: Gorgeous Golden Saddle

……

The fourth cabin is the same as the third cabin, which is used to hold porcelain, but there are not so many kinds of porcelain here, and the 312 bottles, plates, bowls, and bowls are all Yuan blue and white, of course, not the official kiln, but the Yuan blue and white folk kiln.

The historical truth of Yuan Qinghua has always been limited to the correct but extremely limited view of the foreigners on "Yuan Qinghua official kiln porcelain" half a century ago, and has not fully reflected the overall historical picture of all Yuan Qinghua, including the Yuan Qinghua of the folk kiln.

The official kiln porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty was produced according to the regulation of "if there is a life, it will be supplied, and if not, it will be stopped".

The rest of the time, it was necessary to produce civilian blue and white porcelain for the needs of the middle and lower bureaucrats and members of the upper class, as well as for the wealthy people of the cities.

It is certain that due to the high cost of firing, blue and white porcelain was still a high-end porcelain at that time, and it was a luxury that ordinary people could not enjoy.

Despite this, the Yuan Dynasty survived for 97 years, according to the only book that describes the situation of the porcelain industry in Jingdezhen in the Yuan Dynasty - the Yuan people Jiang Qi's "Tao Strategy" records: "The kiln fire is closed, the merchant strives for sale, and the upper one chooses, which is called picking up the kiln." On the occasion of the transaction, the ...... of the tooth lord is transported into the river, and the shoulder husband holds the coupons, and the second piece is used to rely on the business plan, which is not the son. ”?

It can be seen that the number of blue and white porcelain from the folk kilns supplied by the market in the Yuan Dynasty is still considerable. It is difficult to conceive: except for the Yuan Dynasty and the princes and nobles of the Khanate to which they belonged, high-grade blue and white porcelain was used, other bureaucrats and wealthy classes at all levels of the Yuan Dynasty could not use high-grade or low-grade blue and white porcelain.

Therefore, in addition to the two or three hundred pieces of Yuan Dynasty official kiln Yuan blue and white with the highest artistic value, there are also a large number of Yuan blue and white porcelain from folk kilns. It's just thought to be ignored. Or mistaken for Hongwu or Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain!

And only in addition to Jingdezhen in the Yuan Dynasty. The Yuxi kiln in Yunnan, the Jiangshan kiln in Zhejiang-Jiang and the Huili kiln in Sichuan are all the production areas of blue and white kilns in the Yuan Dynasty.

The identification results of the relics told Liu Dong that these were indeed blue and white porcelain from the folk kilns of the Yuan Dynasty, and as for the specific kiln system, Liu Dong was not clear.

However, whether they are blue and white porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty, or later recognized as Hongwu blue and white porcelain, their value is worth affirming!

"These porcelains were not defective and later included in the museum's collection. After the rest of the restoration is complete, Tong Guò Agarwood Pavilion is sold! After making up his mind, Liu Dong walked into the fifth cabin, judging from the remaining decorations around him, it was obvious that this place should be for the highest status person on the ship, possibly a position such as captain!

Because water has a certain protective effect on metal, especially wooden objects, the furniture in the fifth cabin is messy, but it is also very well preserved.

It's just that these furniture materials are average and have no collection value.

However, there are a lot of good things scattered in the cabin.

Here, Liu Dong found several Hetian jade pendants. A pair of gold earrings, especially a 49-centimeter-high Yuan blue and white dragon pattern plum vase, are the most precious. This is a serious official kiln Yuan Qinghua!

What's even more rare is that it was not damaged by the capsizing of the ship, but the Mandarin Fish Pattern Official Kiln Yuan Blue and White High Foot Bowl, and the Dragon and Phoenix Pattern Official Kiln Yuan Blue and White Plate, which were supposed to be with it, were shattered!

Especially the last two, if they are in good condition, each piece is worth no less than one million, and now even if it is repaired well, it will only be more than 100,000 yuan!

Liu Dong, who was very distressed, looked at the box next to the three pieces of Yuan blue and white wooden boxes, the dark and rusty surface told Liu Dong that this was an iron box, the iron box was 80 cm long, 70 cm wide, and 65 cm high, and the locks on the box had been completely rusted, but in the mustard seed space, Liu Dong did not need to open the lock to be able to take out the things in it.

Just with a stroke of thought, a black object in the shape of a saddle appeared in Liu Dong's mustard space, and this obvious trace of oxidation was only a simple spiritual repair, which could make it bloom with its initial brilliance.

In fact, as Liu Dong expected, after the black on the saddle receded, a bejeweled gorgeous saddle appeared, the length of the saddle was about 60 cm, the width reached 70 cm because of the long saddle wings, and the height was also 50 cm!

The whole body is cast in gold, the front saddle bridge and the rear saddle bridge are embossed to highlight two hideous wolf heads, the wolf head on both sides is made of ancient gold casting technology, filigree, stacking, socketing and other means, to weave a fine entwined flower pattern, and the edge of the saddle is also inlaid with the smallest finger belly size gems, and the types of gems include ruby sapphire, turquoise, agate and tortoiseshell!

There are 36 such gems on the front and rear saddle bridges combined!

Although there are no gems on the saddle, it is engraved with a pattern of riding a horse and fighting a war with exquisite gold casting technology, and the decoration of the characters is typical of Mongolian nobles!

The saddle wings on both sides are engraved with cloud ornamentation, and on the edge of the saddle wings are embossed with delicate horse heads, and the horse's mouth bites a wine glass-sized Jin Ling, and there are six horse heads distributed on the saddle wings, adding up to twelve, and the twelve Jin Ling will think of crisp and pleasant ringtones when they move!

And under this gorgeous golden saddle, there is also a line of Wu'er characters, and this is also the earliest Mongolian, the content is: Zuo Prime Minister Hulu does not spend a thousand years! There is only one word in the payment!

Obviously, this golden saddle is a person surnamed Zhang, who gives only a catty to his son. Kublai Khan's left prime minister, Kulu, did not spend his life to build!

Zhang Zi is obviously the surname of the Han people, but it is obvious that this person did not leave his name in the history books, but the person who can come up with such a golden saddle and three pieces of official kiln Yuan blue and white is either an official of the Yuan Dynasty Si-Sichuan Province, or a big businessman! Liu Dong speculated that the former was the majority.

Moreover, the Yuan Dynasty was also the era in Chinese history when there were the most officials and corrupt officials.

And this golden saddle is also the most valuable antique on the entire shipwreck!

As for the sixth cabin, there are no antiques of great value except for miscellaneous items such as cables and iron bars.

However, being able to get this immeasurable gold saddle, three pieces of Yuan blue and white, and more than 500 pieces of porcelain from this wreck, although it is a folk kiln, it can be regarded as a rare harvest!

After breakfast, Liang Sicheng, who was envious of Liu Dong's harvest, prepared the matter early, ready to go into the water to hunt for treasure, and after seeing that Chen Mo was also a little eager to try, Liu Dong stayed to drive the boat and left him with the opportunity.

And Chen Mo, who was about to go into the water to try his luck, did not refuse, but the result was obvious, a morning passed, the two returned to the boat without any gain, seeing their dejected appearance, Liu Dong smiled, and after a few words of comfort, after lunch, he went into the water again, of course, this time he wanted to find those Qinggang sticks, but also hoped to find another shipwreck!

To tell the truth, the Yangtze River has been an important waterway connecting Wu Chu since the Spring and Autumn Period, and the ships that have sunk in it for more than two thousand years are afraid that there are no less than a thousand, but there is obviously less than one-tenth of them with salvage value, and Liu Dong, who was launched again, took the fishing boat as the center, and searched the nearby two kilometers of river along the upper and lower reaches of the Minjiang River, and the shipwreck did find two, but there was no antique that Liu Dong fancied, and the excavation was too troublesome, so Liu Dong just took a look at it and gave up.

In order to avoid attracting more suspicion from Liang Sicheng and Chen Mo, in the next two days, Liu Dong did not take out the Qinggang sticks again, but in the past three days, Liu Dong has accumulated more than 50 sticks in his hands, basically 80% of the Qinggang sticks under this river have been in his hands, and these Qinggang sticks have also provided Liu Dong with 4,000 taels of gold and 25,000 taels of silver, which is equivalent to the value of 20 million Chinese coins according to the current international gold and silver price.

Of course, although the collection of gold and silver in the Ming and Qing dynasties is not popular, it is also a branch of the antique collecting industry, and if Liu Dong is willing, the value of this gold and silver should not be less than 20 million!

Three days later, the treasure digging operation will also come to an end.

Chen Mo wants to return to Qingzhang Luo Crocodile Pond, Liu Dong wants to go to Chengdu, and then take a plane back to the capital, and Liang Siwei interrupts to continue hanging out with Liu Dong, but the urging of his parents at home dooms him to be unable to make the trip!

"Okay, let's say goodbye this time, if you have time, go to Quancheng to find me!" On the dock in Leshan City, Liu Dong said goodbye.

"Xiaodong, this is what you said, but you want to eat, drink and have fun later!" Liang Sicheng Dao.

"Walk the talk!"

"Goodbye!"

Liu Dong waved his hand at the two! The biggest gain of his trip to Chongqing is that he made two good friends, although the time is very short, but a week of getting along day and night, so that the relationship between the three of them is as close as knowing each other for many years!

……

Take a bus from Leshan to Chengdu, stay for one night, and then take a flight to Beijing.

Looking at the land of Bashu farther and farther away under his feet, Liu Dong's only regret was that he did not find the true location of the treasures of the Great Western Kingdom.

Although the bottom of the Minjiang River is part of these treasures, it is by no means all, but without clues, the world is vast, there is no way to find it, and Liu Dong is too lazy to spend time!

With these kung fu, with the ability of the relic Yuanguang, he is fully capable of getting more treasures.

"Maybe the sea would be a good choice!" Liu Dong touched his chin and thought.

The previous shipwreck of the Yuan Dynasty completely opened his mind, but there are too many troubles in finding a shipwreck in China, and Liu Dong always has a feeling of digging into the corner of the country.

But above the sea, he has no such scruples at all, and the wealth in the ocean is far greater than that on land, there are about 10,000 shipwrecks in the ocean near China alone, even if only one-tenth, or even less of them have salvage value, that is hundreds or thousands, what an astonishing number!

"However, now is not the time to salvage the wreck, and it is not too late to think about it when the relics Yuanguang goes further!" Liu Dong said secretly in his heart.

He always felt in his heart that the detection depth of 400 meters was still a little insufficient for the vast ocean!
