Chapter 127 Several boxes are full of gold bricks!
When Song Zhining saw several of the boxes opened and filled with gold bricks, she covered her chest with her hands.
That’s right, it’s a gold brick, a gold brick weighing several kilograms, not a gold bar!
Charles's expression was calm. In his opinion, it was normal to salvage some gold, silver and jewelry from a shipwreck.
He was more concerned about his eldest daughter. Seeing Song Zhining's eyes sparkling as he looked at these things, he felt inexplicably adorable. If he could make the eldest daughter happy, then it would be meaningful to salvage the shipwreck.
“Hey, is this porcelain?”
As several large boxes were opened, Song Zhining saw exquisite porcelain inside. Although the ship had sunk, the boxes seemed to be made of special materials and had not been soaked in water even after thousands of years.
Even the porcelains from recent years may have been hit and cracked or broken, and only a small amount is still intact.
Charles came over to take a look and said, "Miss, if I'm not mistaken, this should be a Ru kiln from the Song Dynasty in Jiaguo."
Sky blue Ru kiln? !
When Charles mentioned Ru Kiln, Song Zhining remembered something.
Ru kiln, known as the best porcelain of Jiaguo, is famous for its unique sky blue color and is extremely exquisite, but its firing technique has been lost.
Even now, only a small part has been restored.
The firing technique of Ru kiln is considered a very valuable cultural heritage.
"It would be great if we could find records about the firing techniques of the Ru kiln." Song Zhining murmured.
"Miss, I think what you want might be found here." At this time, Charles' voice came from the side.
Um?
Song Zhining hurried over to take a look and saw several open boxes containing rare and well-preserved books, scrolls, etc.
"Yes, you can look for it."
Song Zhining hurriedly put on special gloves and began to search carefully.
However, Song Zhining had just finished flipping through one box and looked at the other boxes, then let out a cry of surprise.
"Miss, have you found the record of Ru kiln firing techniques that you are looking for?" Charles asked.
"No." Song Zhining pointed at the books in the box, "Grandpa Chaer, look, what are these four words?"
Song Zhining's tone was full of excitement, and her little face turned red with excitement.
Not only can Charles speak Jiaguo, he also knows the Jiaguo language.
When he looked over here, the four words "Yongle Encyclopedia" came clearly into his sight.
"Grandpa Charles, did you see that? It's the Yongle Encyclopedia. It's actually the Yongle Encyclopedia. These boxes are filled with it."
The Yongle Encyclopedia was compiled during the reign of Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty. It is not a single book, but consists of more than 10,000 volumes.
The value of the Yongle Encyclopedia is naturally very great, but it has been lost today, and its original copy has long been missing.
Song Zhining had a strong premonition that the boxes in front of him containing the "Yongle Encyclopedia" might be the original copies.
No wonder we couldn’t find it, it turned out to be in the shipwreck.
I wonder what the origin of this shipwreck is. It actually carried the "Yongle Encyclopedia". This thing should not have been hidden in the Ming Palace at that time.
It turns out that this shipwreck not only has cultural relics such as the Ru Kiln from the Song Dynasty, but also cultural relics from the Ming Dynasty!
Restraining her excitement, Song Zhining continued to look at other boxes and soon found what she was looking for, the information about the firing techniques of Ru Kiln.
"With this book, our country's craftsmen will be able to recreate the exquisite Ru kiln."
Song Zhining had already decided in his mind that the "Yongle Encyclopedia" and the firing techniques of the Ru kiln must be handed over, as well as the boxes of Ru kilns, some broken and some intact.
Song Zhining continued looking and saw a lot of cloth, silk, etc., but after being soaked in sea water for thousands of years, they had already deteriorated.
"Miss, come and see. This looks like a painting, and it's well preserved." Charles opened a long box and took out a scroll made of silk cloth.
As he and the staff slowly unfolded the silk cloth, the content of the painting was revealed.
Song Zhining looked over and saw that the painting seemed to be a love story of a man and a woman who had a romantic encounter but could not be together.
Song Zhining looked at the scenes one by one, and his eyes fell on the name signed on the picture. Song Zhining could not recognize those words.
I could only take out my phone, take a picture and check.
Soon the three words "Gu Kaizhi" came into Song Zhining's sight.
"Gu Kaizhi? This is a painting by Gu Kaizhi! Wait, this scroll, could it be "The Goddess of Luo River"? " Song Zhining exclaimed.
The more he checked, the more certain Song Zhining became.
"The Picture of the Goddess of Luo River" is a painting by the famous painter Gu Kaizhi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It depicts the love story between Cao Zhi and the Goddess of Luo River.
However, this scroll has also been lost.
"This one, should it be real?"
"Am I so lucky? Not only did I encounter the lost "Yongle Encyclopedia" and the Ru kiln firing technique, but I also encountered the lost "Picture of the Goddess of Luo River"." The value of these things is immeasurable.
Charles smiled and agreed, "The eldest lady's luck is naturally very good."
If she wasn't good, how could she become the old master's goddaughter and inherit hundreds of billions of assets?
It was almost dark before Song Zhining reluctantly searched through everything in the sunken ship.
Many cultural relics from the Song and Ming dynasties were found, and they are now considered to be very valuable antiques.
In terms of literature, there are also "Qing Nang Jing" and "Huangdi Neijing"...
There was even a large box containing a very large piece of ambergris.
Ambergris is very expensive nowadays, and is calculated by gram. This large piece of ambergris has very high medicinal value.
"I don't know how much this piece of ambergris is worth." This thing must be kept.
Keep it as a family heirloom.
After they had almost finished looking at everything in the shipwreck, Song Zhining asked Charles to put away everything except the "Yongle Encyclopedia", "The Picture of the Goddess of Luo River", books, Ru kilns, and cultural relics.
Song Zhining did not plan to hand over the gold bricks, jade, ambergris and other things, so she asked Charles to help put them away. As agreed before, she would find a warehouse in Jiaguo and put them away secretly. She planned to hand them over to the country.
Charles actually didn't agree with Song Zhining handing over these things. After all, the shipwreck was salvaged on the high seas. It was ownerless property and belonged to whoever salvaged it. There was no need to hand it over.
He felt that if the young lady liked the things from the shipwreck, she could keep them, and if she didn't like them, she could put them away or sell them. There was no need to give them to others.
However, although Charles disagreed, he also understood Song Zhining's patriotism, and he would not refute Song Zhining's opinion.
Although the eldest lady called him Grandpa Charles, he treated the eldest lady as his young master. How could a servant question the master's decision?
"Miss, I will do as you command."
"Well, Grandpa Charles, thank you for your help."
So, after Charles made the arrangements, an email from Gardenia Blossoms arrived in the mailbox of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage.
The shipwrecks have been changed and are not limited to shipwrecks from the Song and Ming dynasties. In addition to cultural relics from the Ming Dynasty, there are also those from the Song Dynasty.
