Golden Fishing Village

The labor wisdom of Chinese fishermen should not be underestimated. This lucky boat has been around for an unknown number of years, and it has been battered by wind and rain at sea for unknown years. Although it was damaged everywhere, it could still barely sail after being towed on the sea.

After towing the lucky boat back, people on the dock saw Da Le: "Brother Yang, have you salvaged a sunken ship? Are there any treasures from the sunken ship?"

There are many sunken ships on the seabed, but very few treasures. Fishermen who travel to the sea all year round will encounter sunken ships, but no one will make a fortune from it.

Obviously, this is a joke.

But Ao Muyang replied seriously: "Yes, otherwise why would I drag it back?"

The villagers on the dock were shocked: "Are you kidding me?"

"Is there really a hidden treasure on this boat? Holy shit, I'm getting rich!"

"How to make a fortune? Five hundred yuan for a banner."

Ao Muyang smiled and said: "It's true that you won't make a fortune, but it won't cost five hundred yuan a banner. The things inside can still be sold for tens of thousands of yuan."

The Da Longtou docked, and the Fu boat was fixed and connected to its stern.

Ao Daguo cautiously boarded the boat and tried it. He nodded and said, "This boat is amazing. It's really hard. It's okay. It's not dangerous."

Under his leadership, several light fishermen boarded the boat and worked together to clear out the squid, octopus and the like in the cabin.

There are a lot of seafood in it, box after box, which can indeed be sold for a lot of money.

This kind of harvesting method amazed the villagers. It was the first time they saw someone dragging back a sunken ship and then fishing out the fish from the sunken ship to sell it for money.

After all, it is an old-fashioned blessing boat, which gradually attracted many people to watch, including tourists who came to the village for vacation and teachers from the school.

Ao Muyang went back to rest. The next morning, when he was about to check the sea chart, Ao Daguo knocked on the door and came in: "Longtou, what are you doing?"

"I'm looking at the chart. What else can I do? The tide is low these days. I'll see if I can find a place with plenty of fish."

"Stop looking, go to the dock. There are people from the city. Some experts are coming to the lucky boat we salvaged. That old guy Ao Muzhi is running around to show his courtesy. Go and have a look. ”

Ao Muyang walked to the pier and saw several middle-aged men in suits pointing at the lucky ship. The skinny Ao Zhiyi was jumping around like a giant monkey.

He walked onto the pier and asked, "Village chief, what are you doing?"

Ao Zhiyi said with a smile: "Hey, Yangzi, the leader of the Municipal Maritime Museum heard that a lucky boat was salvaged in our village, so he came here to take a look."

Ao Muyang glanced at him sideways and said, "A lucky boat was salvaged in our village? Why haven't I heard of it?"

An old man with gray hair next to him smiled kindly and said, "This is the ship. Wasn't it salvaged by your village?"

Ao Muyang smiled brightly and said, "No, I salvaged it and dragged it back."

The villagers who were watching the excitement at the pier nodded immediately: "Yes, Brother Xiaoyang dragged this boat back. It has nothing to do with the village."

"This is someone's personal belongings."

"Village chief, please stop being so generous. You want to give it to someone else. This boat doesn't belong to you, so why do you give it away?"

Hearing the discussions among the villagers, Ao Muyang said to Ao Muzhi with a smile but not a smile: "Hey, village chief, can you use my things as a favor? How generous."

Ao Zhiyi laughed and said, "They are all contributing to national construction."

The people at the Oceanographic Museum are not rigid old academics. After Ao Muyang and Ao Zhiyi asked and answered questions, they understood what was going on.

The old man smiled and said to Ao Muyang: "Little comrade, you dragged this boat back?"

Ao Muyang said: "Yes, the tide went out the night before yesterday, and this boat emerged from the bottom of the sea."

The old man thought for a while and said: "Logically speaking, it shouldn't be. The bottom of the ship is not damaged, so it shouldn't sink."

A middle-aged man with glasses said: "Teacher Sun, I just learned from a fellow villager that they fished out about 2,000 kilograms of squid, octopus and other marine creatures from this boat. So I guess, is this boat At first, there were a lot of marine life inside, which caused the ship's draft to increase, and a large amount of seawater flooded into the damaged part of the hull, causing the ship to sink to the bottom of the sea. "

Teacher Sun thought about it for a few seconds and said: "It is possible that when the tide recedes, the warship resurfaces, the seawater in the cabin flows out, and it floats again."

Ao Muyang said: "Let me add a few words. Your guess may be right. There were more than 2,000 kilograms of marine life inside. When the tide went out, many squid and octopuses came out of the water. They left the boat. We salvaged a total of them from there. More than five tons of seafood are coming.”

Teacher Sun nodded when he heard this: "That should be it. What a coincidence. Fortunately, my little comrade's fishing boat happened to be anchored there, otherwise this Ming Dynasty warship might never see the light of day again."

Ao Muyang was shocked when he heard what the old man said: "Is this blessing ship a Ming Dynasty warship?"

The old man smiled and nodded: "Yes, in fact, the title "Fuchuan" also comes from the Ming Dynasty. It comes from works such as "Cao Hai Tu Bian", "Xi Hai Recent Affairs", and "Jixiao New Book" from Jiajing to Longqing years. You know these works What is its nature?"

Ao Muyang shook his head.

The old man continued to smile and said: "These are all military books specializing in coastal defense. In this, Fuchuan is the collective name for a series of warships along the Hujian coast, southern Zhejiang, eastern Guangdong and other places."

"According to the size of the ship, the warships of the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty can be divided into six types: Dafuchuan, No. 2 Fuchuan, Sentry Ship, Winter Ship, Bird Ship, and Fast Ship. This ship is No. 2 Fuchuan, which is 20 meters long!"

"Unfortunately, there was too little information at the time, and even less specific records about naval warships. Only Yu Dayou wrote the two volumes of "Xi Hai Jin Shi" when he led troops to fight against Japanese pirates and pirates in the southeast coast. Otherwise, we could have found the specific identity of this warship!"

As he said, the old man shook his head with some regret.

The middle-aged man with glasses comforted him, "Teacher Sun, don't be discouraged. The "Xi Hai Jin Shi" records the types, models, sizes, quantities to be built, and materials used for the Fuzhou warships at that time. The keel of this ship has not collapsed. Let's check the keel number. Maybe we can find some information about it."

Ao Muyang said, "Wait a minute, is this ship from the Ming Dynasty? It's a bit exaggerated, right? Can a wooden ship from the Ming Dynasty be preserved to this day? No one maintains it!"

Teacher Sun smiled and said, "It's not an exaggeration at all. The maturity and superb shipbuilding technology of the ancients is absolutely beyond your imagination. Let alone the Ming Dynasty warships, a Fuzhou ship was unearthed in Houzhu, Quanzhou in August 1974. The remaining length alone is 24.2 meters. Guess which dynasty it is from?"

Ao Muyang shook his head, and the man with glasses next to him introduced, "It was a ship from the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was a merchant ship, not a warship. This ship is a warship. The main body is made of hard wood such as fir, cypress, and teak, and it is treated with tung oil, lime and other substances. It is very strong!"
