The pet king of the city

At the lowest end of the steep slope, the incomplete giant shipwreck lay quietly inside.

"what!"

"You found it!"

This time not only Lao Li, but everyone else was shocked.

Then the ghost eyes that woke up immediately roared: "Xiao Lie, don't be impulsive! The sunken ship has been soaked in the sea for so many years, and it must be rotten; and there may be some poisonous snakes and beasts living in it. Don't go in now and wait for our assistance. what."

Boom!

A dull voice.

But Chen Lie ignored Guiyan's persuasion.

He briefly checked the surrounding environment, and after not feeling any threat, he landed steadily on the broken deck.

"Things are terrible now."

Old Li covered his eyes.

"He still has that temperament."

But Lao Li laughed afterwards, suddenly feeling a little unreasonable.

This is indeed the case.

"It seems I deserve to get rich!"

As soon as Chen Lie entered the cabin, he found many objects characteristic of the Ming Dynasty.

Ming Dynasty porcelain, Ming Dynasty weapons, Ming Dynasty furniture, etc.

But these are secondary.

Someone will come to clean up anyway.

Chen Lie went deeper. This time he went in a certain cabin. As soon as he entered, he saw a lot of horribly dark corpses, some floating on the top of the cabin, some stuck in the cracks of the cabin, and some were crushed. Under the heavy container, some bones seemed to have been destroyed, and the corpses scattered around the younger brother.

Many kinds.

It shows how cruel the situation was.

However, due to the breaking of the container, the goods inside scattered out.

Chen Lie clearly saw the porcelain all over the floor and a few highly blackened artworks.

Silk, porcelain and tea from the ancient East are the three most popular exports.

Let alone East Asia.

Even the Middle East and even Europe are crazy about it.

But there is another type that exports less, but earns the most money:

artwork.

Since the Han Dynasty, the East has been the cultural center of the surrounding areas.

The prosperous Tang Dynasty spread the Eastern culture to half of the world.

The literati sentiments of the Song and Ming dynasties also profoundly affected the surrounding areas, and nobles in many areas liked to use oriental silk, porcelain, literati articles and so on.

At its peak, there were even signs of dumping of folding fans, jade games, four treasures of the study, and handicrafts that literati liked.

Don't think that art is not productive.

Driven by interests, those exquisite craftsmen, maritime merchants, aristocratic families, etc. treat artworks as the highest-end porcelain.

It is clear.

The ship that Chen Lie encountered was obviously at the peak of maritime trade smuggling.

"My luck is good."

Chen Lie knew that with these things alone, his contribution this time was worth it.

However, he was not very satisfied.

Although there are well-preserved famous porcelains exported from the Ming Dynasty and a dazzling array of works of art, Chen Lie is dazzled to see, but Chen Lie wants more than that.

Say something compelling.

Chen Lie is not short of money at all.

What he needs is fan value and number of tasks.

"Brother Pet is going to develop this time!"

Xiao Lei also followed in, but was shocked by the porcelain all over the floor.

When he woke up, he immediately swam towards the nearest intact porcelain, and then curiously asked: "Pet brother, what kind of porcelain is this? After being soaked in the sea for hundreds of years, it is so bright red, what is it? Unbelievable treasure?"

Chen Lie replied: "This is the rumored sacrifice!"

"what!"

"You found Jihong?"

Ghost Eye looked very excited.

Chen Lie replied: "Yes, it is a real Mingji red porcelain!"

Red is the color of a gentleman's great virtue.

It symbolizes auspicious and peaceful, warm and sincere, elegant and rich, broad and graceful.

The gentleman Shangde, Shangde is happy.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty, which had an extremely heavy literati atmosphere, regarded red porcelain as a collection or gift.

And this is also related to a legend.

Legend has it that a certain emperor of the Ming Dynasty wanted to use a set of bright red porcelain to pay homage to the gods.

But the kiln workers tried many times, but they couldn't burn the sacrificial vessel that satisfies the court.

In the end, many people were imprisoned by bureaucrats, claiming that they would kill people if they could not burn the red-glazed porcelain urged by the emperor.

The daughter of an old kiln worker, Cuilan, was very worried when she heard the news. She ran to the imperial kiln factory and found that her father had also been thrown into prison by the kiln officer.

The grieving Cuilan jumped into the raging kiln fire and used her life to protest the atrocities of the kiln officials.

I didn't want to later when the kiln workers opened the kiln where Cuilan burned their bodies, they were surprised to find that the burnt pottery was red like blood.

People say that this is Cuilan's blood staining the pottery, so this red ceramic is called Jihong.

In order to commemorate Cuilan who sacrificed herself to the kiln, the kiln workers later used bricks to form the image of a girl when closing the kiln door. This custom has continued to this day.

"did not expect!"

"Someone is willing to export red porcelain for sacrifice!"

Guiyan kept rubbing his hands with excitement, and couldn't wait to rush to the scene immediately.

Xiao Lei asked, "Brother Pet, is this red porcelain very precious?"

Chen Lie asked with a smile: "In the ceramics museum of Jingdezhen, the porcelain capital, there are only nine half-sacrifice red porcelains in the collection of nearly 10,000 pieces. One of the red porcelains from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty was only half of the incomplete collection. You Say, even the dignified porcelain has only collected 9 and a half pieces, do you think it is precious?"

Xiao Lei nodded frantically.

"All right."

"Don't get too excited, everyone."

Chen Lie soothed: "I just came in, and we have received such a harvest before the official salvage. It is indeed good news. But there will definitely be more surprises waiting for us. Let's stay a little bit and get excited."

Chen Lie's words were like setting a sea needle, quickly stabilizing the scene.

And Xiao Lei immediately put away the red porcelain with the smallest heart.

It is indeed very expensive to worship red porcelain in the Ming Dynasty.

Like the red porcelain preserved by Xiao Lei, if it is put up for auction, it can sell for at least 5 million yuan.

If the auction atmosphere is a little bit more enthusiastic, it is not a problem to sell a price of ten million yuan.

And here is a batch of complete red porcelains, the total price of which is imaginable.

With Chen Lie's in-depth search, there were new gains later.

"Everyone, guess what I found now?"
