Chapter 509: I can't handle it
The preciousness of Yuan Qinghua does not need to be repeated.
Li Yi felt that if this was really a large plate with a blue and white dragon pattern, then even if everything left was a fake, he would definitely be truly grateful to this unlucky guy who hid the treasure under the water.
However, what he didn't expect was that when he opened the spirit card with great expectations, the spirit card actually gave a conclusion that surprised him, this was actually a blue and white plate fired during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty!
The blue and white ware of the Hongwu Dynasty, and it looks like a fine product...... In the blink of an eye, Li Yi became excited again, this blue and white ware, in a sense, is even more precious than Yuan blue and white!
The Ming Hongwu Dynasty lasted 30 years, and soon after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Ming Taizu set up an imperial kiln factory in Zhushan, Jingdezhen, but so far, there has not been a real porcelain with the Hongwu official kiln chronology. Moreover, the blue and white porcelain unearthed from the Nanjing Forbidden City and Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Factory in the Ming Dynasty does not even have a complete vessel, it is all broken porcelain pieces!
Although a large number of new folk kilns arose in the late Hongwu period, the number of blue and white kilns handed down from generation to generation is still limited.
Moreover, most of the green materials used in blue and white during the Hongwu period are domestic green materials with low iron content, high manganese content and poor refining, so the color of the blue and white ware is mostly green with gray and light gray.
Although judging from the unearthed porcelain pieces, a small number of blue and white ware also used imported green materials left over from the Yuan Dynasty, but there has never been a complete vessel.
But this is it! This is a complete device using imported green materials!
Moreover, from the point of view of the level of craftsmanship, whether it is the carcass, porcelain or blue and white pattern, this large plate is obviously better than ordinary folk kiln products, so Li Yi judged that this is likely to be the only one in the world, made by the Ming Hongwuguan kiln, and the complete blue and white ware made of imported green materials!
Although there is no money for this large plate, it is very simple to confirm whether it is an official kiln, and you only need to find similar porcelain pieces unearthed from the Nanjing Forbidden City or Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln in the Ming Dynasty for comparison.
The only one!
Li Yi put the large plate aside with satisfaction, and picked up a blue and white bamboo stone banana pattern jade pot spring vase next to him.
The blue and white of this jade pot spring vase is colorful and does not blur, but it is precisely because it is too showy that it looks a little fake.
Li Yi picked up the bottle and glanced at the bottom of the vessel, and found that the retention was actually the year of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty, so he couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and put it aside.
The next three pieces, a Qing Kangxi five-color plum vase, a Qing Yongzheng pastel Guanyin Zun are imitations, and the last remaining one is a yellow ground colorful dragon pattern bowl, the shape is more exquisite, the porcelain is acceptable, but the color of the yellow ground is not only light, but also uneven, and the local also presents an obvious mottled white, as if the dyed thing has faded, not too good-looking.
Li Yi took a few looks, and then glanced at the retention at the bottom of the bowl, and then opened the spirit card, he judged that this should be a modern imitation, because of the problem of craftsmanship or understanding, it caused the fading of the yellow ground when it was old.
However, what he didn't expect was that when he opened the spirit card, a cold air suddenly poured into his palm, which was actually a real Ming Yongle official kiln colorful porcelain!
Wucai, also known as hard color and ancient color, is painted on the glazed surface of the fired porcelain background color by means of different colors with vitreous color materials, and then entered the kiln for the second time to complete the firing.
Wucai porcelain was founded in the Yuan Dynasty, matured in the Ming Dynasty, reached a peak in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, and was gradually replaced by pastel. Therefore, when we talk about five-color porcelain now, we generally refer to the five-color of the Ming Dynasty and the five-color of Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty.
However, although the five-color porcelain matured in the Ming Dynasty, it does not mean that there was in the early Ming Dynasty, according to historical records, the real appearance of the five-color porcelain should be in the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty.
During the Yongle period, there are a lot of glaze colored porcelain, but most of them are glaze red color, blue and white red color, yellow ground green color and other five-color porcelain prototypes, glaze color only seen in some historical materials, but never seen the real hand-me-down.
This is also the main reason why Li Yi saw the money left at the bottom of the bowl and was ready to put it aside.
After discovering that this piece was a rare Yongle Wucai that only existed in historical records, Li Yi became interested, took the bowl and looked at it repeatedly for a while, he had to admit that the craftsmanship at that time was indeed immature, including this porcelain bowl, which was probably an experiment.
But the more this happens, the more precious this thing becomes!
Compared to those gold and silver jewelry, compared to Shi Tao's paintings just now, although these two precious porcelains marked with the word "unique" may not be sold for much price, their research value is simply immeasurable!
Li Yi believes that if he takes these two pieces of porcelain to Chang Huaizhi for research, the old man will definitely be able to write a few amazing papers that will shake the entire porcelain academic circle!
"How?"
Seeing that Li Yi finished reading the porcelain, Lu Ningshuang appeared in front of him at the right time.
"These two are peerless treasures!"
"Peerless? What do you mean? Is it worth it? ”
Li Yi smiled and shook his head,
"It's not necessarily valuable, but this one should be the only blue and white ware found in the Ming Hong military attache kiln, and this bowl may be the only surviving Yongle five-color porcelain."
"Hey, it's all the only one, and it's not worth much?"
Lu Ningshuang understood a little, but he couldn't.
"The research value and academic value are immeasurable, but if you really sell it, it is likely that it will not sell for a price because there may be controversy, and the porcelain itself is of slightly inferior quality. However, I don't plan to change hands, even if it's worth billions ......."
"You can only sleep in your safe...... Understood, Scrooge! ”
Lu Ningshuang rolled her lovely eyes, and just when Li Yi thought that it was over, she suddenly asked:
"Could you please give me an estimate, how much is it worth?"
“……”
After reading the porcelain and scrolls, only the bag of jewelry remained, and when Li Yi was underwater, he noticed that there was a bracelet full of brittle glass, but when he took the bag of jewelry, he found that the bracelet was missing!
After a little calculation, he knew what was going on, so he smiled, examined the rest of the jewelry one by one, and tossed them aside.
"And how much are they worth?"
"About a million more, nothing too good."
"Oh, what about this one?"
Lu Ningshuang said as she stretched out her arm.
Li Yi saw the glass bracelet on her wrist at a glance, and shook her head with a smile,
"This one, hehe, about 8 million!"
"8 million! Then I don't want it, it's so expensive, it's not enough money to worry about wearing on your hand! ”
"Don't, don't take it off, it looks good when you wear it, besides, although this thing is worth a little money, but if you want it, you can't find it, if it's crispy, it's crisp."
"It's easy to say, you think everyone is as tyrant as you! Besides, even if I want to wear it, I want to wear what you gave me, so I don't want this thing of unknown origin! ”
Li Yi rolled his eyes speechlessly, just now, I don't know who it was, when he saw these things, his eyes lit up and almost lit up the whole house......
After sorting out all the things, Li Yi estimated the approximate value of these things in his heart, the two pieces of porcelain were about 40 million, Shi Tao's paintings were about 55 million, the jewelry was 9 million, plus 66 million gold and foreign currency, and the total value of the things in the two suitcases actually reached 170 million!
"The porcelain and scrolls can't see the light, so I can only put it here in Hongchen first, and bring it back to Yanjing, it doesn't matter if the jewelry is brought back to Yangnan, I have a place to deal with it, but the money is ......."
Li Yi rubbed his head with a headache, and instantly understood the troubles of those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, a large amount of money from unknown sources, saving but not daring to save, spending but not daring to spend, leaving it at home for fear of accidents, and putting it indiscriminately for fear of losing it, your sister, what do you say they are trying to do?
"Let's put this money like this first, anyway, Xiaolu is going to France when school starts, and she can spend it with you! These gold bars are easy to do, and they are not marked anyway...... Xiaolu, why don't you take a few back and give them to your aunt when you go home later, and just say that she will save them for you and use them as a dowry in the future? ”
Lu Ningshuang glared at him viciously,
"I don't want it, I'm not without money! And said to be a ...... for me That's what you're supposed to worry about, too? Hum! ”
Li Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly, this harvest is not small, but except for those jewelry, he has a specialty store to sell stolen goods, and the rest is really not easy to deal with!
His sister, it seems that bad things really can't be done...... Bah, bah, this is called doing the right thing for heaven, robbing the rich and helping the poor, and at worst, he can mix black and eat black, how can he say that he is doing bad things?
"Li Yi, I think we can't ask for this money, either hand it over anonymously, or ...... Hey, you say, how about we donate this money to charitable organizations to really rob the rich and help the poor? ”
Lu Ningshuang was also worried about how to deal with these things, but it was different from what Li Yi thought, what she thought was that people were watching the sky, not yours, even if the reason was sufficient, it was always a little inappropriate to get into her own home.
Besides, they are not short of this money, if they are reluctant to give up those few antiques, at most they can buy them with some money, but they really can't ask for this money!
"Donations? Then you are wrong, that is not called robbing the rich and helping the poor, but should be called robbing the poor and helping the rich! If you really want to donate it, you might as well gather a group of people and set up a charity fund, just ......"
Li Yi said as he spoke, and suddenly his eyes lit up,
"This matter will be handed over to Hongchen, you go to your comrades-in-arms, we will set up a demobilized soldier assistance fund, some disabled soldiers who have lost their ability to work will directly issue subsidies, and others can provide low-interest or interest-free loans to help them start their own businesses and become bigger in the future, and they can also find veterans of the revolutionary era and provide them with free help!"
