In addition to Zhang Nan's employees, "Big Shark" also has an "outsider" from China Yongcheng: it is not Comrade Nong Bosheng, the curator is also the deputy director, so it is impossible to come here to help.

It is a student of Nongbosheng, named Chen Jianghua, a native of Yongcheng, and now a researcher at the Yongcheng Exhibition Hall.

Zhang Nan doesn’t have time to stare at the salvage boat, but it’s best if someone who knows how to do the salvage can look at it, and he can also guide the guys at work in the first time to classify the water products. This can be fine for the future. Sorting saves a lot of time.

This requires that the person in charge of this important responsibility not only knows how to do it, but also knows all kinds of porcelain and miscellaneous items. It is hard to find the talented person!

what to do?

Find Comrade Bosheng.

Zhang Nan has done a lot to help the Yongcheng Museum. When he said about it on the phone, the director of the farm immediately agreed: He can't make it by himself, but there are so many students!

It is troublesome to go to the United States now, but the shipwreck is in Indonesia, and this person does not have to go to the North American continent: Let the Indonesian Chinese group doing business in partnership do a little favor, and send a personalized exchange invitation letter to the Yongcheng Exhibition Hall.

This is all right.

The director of the agricultural curator is also the deputy director of the Bureau of Chemical Industry, and the subordinates' procedures for going abroad are quickly completed. Comrade Chen Jianghua arrived in Jakarta and was dispatched for six months.

The guys from the salvage team and the Lin Jianghe family’s **** brought Chen Jianghua to Belitung Island. After that, the ship: Although it is 90 years now, it is possible to go abroad on business, regardless of which foreign country it is. It is extremely popular, not to mention the high subsidies provided by the unit.

Nong Bosheng did not hide from his students, if it were not for the trustworthy and good relationship, Chen Jianghua would not have been in this turn. Chen Jianghua: I was able to get some exhibits for the exhibition hall after going to the boat for a while. I guess Chen Jianghua had seen Zhang The boss won't let him work in vain for these months.

Zhang Nan had seen Chen Jianghua in Yongcheng, and he was a little impressed, but he almost didn't recognize him: Not to mention the black, and shaved a big bald head.

The sun is too big and the sea is soaking in the sea. Many of the guys on this ship are showing people with a big bald head, and then they wear a big straw hat.

After greeting a few words, when we arrived at the container lounge, Researcher Chen immediately talked about the effluents of the "Black Rock" and the "Taixing".

It's not about the cherished items first, but how to classify them!

Zhang Nan was born as a tutor and an antique dealer, and has not learned systematic object classification. This is a thousand miles away from Chen Jianghua. Even the two Western antiques and art experts at Long Island Manor are both professional in their own right. many.

"Mr. Zhang, I took the time to take a look at the Taixing effluent. It is estimated that there are a million pieces of porcelain, and systematic classification will be a huge project.

Moreover, many of the effluent items will be sold by auction, so it is best to ship them to the auction site and find a relatively large place for classification.

In this way, the volume of fine-quality goods is relatively small, which can reduce the transportation cost, otherwise the repackaging of these porcelains will consume a lot of time and labor. "

Chen Jianghua is not bad, not only a researcher, but also the essence of his teacher's life-professionalism, pedagogy, but not stereotyped.

Zhang Nan thought for a while, did not respond to what he said, but said to Jamie who was sitting on the side: "If it is not convenient to go to Hamburg?"

"The route is okay, but we also need to understand West Germany's regulations on the entry of porcelain."

Well, after listening to Mr. Captain's words, Zhang Nan found that the problem is not as simple as he thought-the old Clarke porcelain is the most popular in Europe, and it is impossible to keep these million pieces of porcelain as treasures.

If they are sold separately in the United States, they will earn a lot less in Europe. It's just a ten-million-dollar business. It's a trick for Zhang Nan, but it's not a small amount of money for the salvagers who have worked hard for several months. Part of this money will be their bonus.

You take a few plates to Germany, even the customs will ignore you; one million pieces...

hehe!

Does the German customs count you as the import of porcelain or the import of antiques?

No matter what it is, it is certain to collect taxes. It is necessary to figure out the relevant laws in Germany, so as not to be exhausted and to let others make a fortune.

As soon as the question came up, Captain Philip, who was in the same place, thought about it and said, "Boss, I can understand this matter.

I don’t think it’s okay to disembark the effluent of the Blackstone in the US. If feasible, boss, I think it is more appropriate to ship the Taixing items to the Port of Hamburg. "

Zhang Nan said "um" first, and said: "The big warehouse in Hamburg is just vacant and can be used. As for the classification... Jianghua, I have said hello to the director of the farm, and I will find some of your staff at that time. Come and help, estimate that by next year, those guys may want you to lead the team."

Chen Jianghua has heard from the teacher that these jobs are not for nothing. Not only do private individuals have a lot of subsidies, but the exhibition hall will also get a lot of precious exhibits. Mr. Zhang Nan is not stingy.

As for the reasons for working abroad for a period of time, it is easy to find — exchanges and joint research. There are precedents for similar cooperative projects. As long as the leader of Nongbosheng finds a way to take the lead, the rest are minor problems.

And when you go abroad to Western Europe and the United States, people from those exhibition halls will definitely participate enthusiastically.

What should I do if there are not enough people?

There are many counties and districts in the Yongcheng area. There are researchers in the management committee in each place, and the staff will be deployed. The guys will probably sharpen their heads and go abroad for the opportunity to go abroad. By then, Nongbosheng will definitely be well-rounded. .

Zhang Nan also said that no matter whether he came through the back door or not, anyone who knows how to work and is able to work is fine. Don't do it, uncle!

In this regard, the Nongbo promotion also simply said: "There must be related households, but they are all able to work. Who dares to be an uncle on your site abroad?"

This is also true. You can serve as an uncle in one-acre three-cents of land in your own unit in China. If you go abroad, you have to be a researcher and sorter for several months.

Want to be a thorn?

Make sure you can make the stabbing head and the uncle ecstatic!

Good to go to Europe and the United States, Chen Jianghua said with a smile: "I'm eager, this time the teacher sent me out, the eyes of a large group of wolves behind are all green. If you don't go to Western Europe, it's okay, the visa to the United States will be very troublesome."

"Don't worry, there will be no trouble in a few months."

Regarding Zhang Nan's words, Chen Jianghua and Jamie Bostwick didn't understand: They didn't watch satellite TV or listen to the radio today, and they were a little out of touch with the world.

Zhang Nan looked at this reaction and said: "At two o'clock in the morning today, a 100,000 army of Iraqi troops invaded Kuwait. This will be very lively internationally. The two aircraft carrier battle groups of the US Navy have already headed to the Persian Gulf.

At most three to five months, visas to the United States should be liberalized a lot. "

What is the relationship between the outbreak of war in the Persian Gulf and the visa to the United States?

Everyone is wise, thinking about it...understood.

If you want to kill Iraq, which is powerful, the United States cannot do this. It must ask the United Nations to do such a major task. This will require the five major powers to nod their heads, otherwise the United States will not dare to do it alone.

More than ten years later, the United States is very strong, what is the United Nations?

But now Iraq is not Panama like sesame green beans, uncles don’t kiss their grandma and don’t love them. This will be the case for Washington to carry out such a large-scale military operation involving extensive international relations, and it has no guts to leave the United Nations and pull a few younger brothers to work. .

Now many problems have been easily solved: a person's life is actually spent in various struggles and compromises, and no one is willing to make an exception.

Don't say it clearly, only know it.

No compromise?

That's probably the realm that a fool can do.

......

Probably determined the whereabouts of the effluent items, a group of people went to a container warehouse next door, where the fine items selected by Chen Jianghua when the items were out of the water were stored.

Zhang Nan had already known on the phone what good things were probably out of the water in the "Black Rock". As a result, he would enter the container and feel the difference between himself and a real archeologist.

Everyone is a connoisseur, but Ye Luzi is not the same as the academic school, and it is impossible to return by different routes!

The boutiques here are all boutiques, but Zhang Nan and Chen Jianghua’s understanding of the concept of “premiums” is very different: Zhang Nan will unconsciously value money value, while Chen Jianghua is more inclined to research value.

There are buckets and water tanks inside the container, not the shelves and boxes in other warehouses-this is consuming the troublesome fresh water for transportation and desalinating fine porcelain.

Generally, the effluent does not matter, the earlier the desalination operation of the good stuff, the better.

The first water tank opened by Chen Zhanghua, with a special-shaped porcelain placed horizontally inside it: very tall and huge! In order to protect the utensils from accidental collision damage, there are many sponges in the water tank.

Chen Jianghua crouched down and said to Zhang Nan: "Mr. Zhang, I think this should be a white-glazed green-colored high-footed pot made in a Gong-xian kiln in Henan province. The whole vessel is not damaged at all. You can name it, because As far as I know, so far, there is absolutely no other similar artifact in the world.

This is unique in the world! "

White glaze and green color, the water outlet is the head of the dragon, the crank and the neck of the pot are very slender, very tall, and the overall height is more than one meter. This is a super-large porcelain that was properly completed nearly 1200 years ago.

Whether it is unearthed, fished from the sea or handed down, whether it is in China or abroad, there has never been a device of this type before!

Zhang Nan also squatted down and took a closer look-it is even more beautiful in the profile photos I have seen in my life!

"I think it's named'Dragon Head, Long Neck, High Foot, Flower Watering'. With such a large vessel, it is unlikely to be used to pour tea."

Flower watering, a kind of pot specially used for watering flowers. The shape is imitating Western-Asian bronzes. It has a stream on one side of the mouth, a straight neck, and a crank connected between the mouth and shoulders. It is generally believed that Huajiao began to be fired in the Song Dynasty, and was popular in the Yongle and Xuande periods of the Ming Dynasty, and continued to the Qing Dynasty.

Is there any flower watering in the Tang Dynasty?

Zhang Nan personally thinks it should be. If the nobles at the beginning wanted to cultivate their sentiments and water the flowers, would they take a big water scoop and pour it down?

Imagine Yang Yuhuan, who loves peony flowers, holding a water scoop to do this... the style of painting is a bit wrong.

Of course, it is estimated that Yang Yuhuan will not be able to use such a big flower watering, because the Tellus-type court ladies and eunuchs can only play well.

Guessing its purpose by the shape of the instrument and naming it after the possible use are all common tricks in the archaeological world. Chen Jianghua knew that Zhang Nan was an expert. Hearing this name, he liked one in his heart.

Zhang Nan, the effluent of the "Black Stone", will not be sold. At most, some of the artifacts that have been repeated too much will be given to some collection agencies. The Yongcheng Museum will probably be the biggest beneficiary.

But this "long-headed, long-necked, high-footed flower watering" Nong Bosheng and Chen Jianghua don't even think about it.

Put the lid on, and didn't take the things out of the water tank, so as not to bump them-this thing looks beautiful, but the neck is too thin, and Zhang Nan is afraid that it would be broken if it was taken out hastily.

I knew before that about 40 precious gold and silver wares were found in the Vita Bruno "Black Stone", but Chen Jianghua was not in a hurry to remove those precious metal artifacts, but mentioned the buckets by the water tank-inside. Four plates.

In his eyes, this is a plate and the research value of those gold and silverware is more valuable.

"Tang Qinghua!"

Seeing the contents of the barrel clearly, Zhang Nan couldn't help but say: This is the first time I have seen Tang Qinghua in person in my two lifetimes.

This is Tang Qinghua!

Tang blue and white is considered to be the earliest known blue and white porcelain in China, but there is a question that many people in the circle have: Is Tang blue and white actually blue and white porcelain?

"The 4 plates~www.wuxiaspot.com~ are put together when the water is discharged. The carcass is thinner. I saw it is light yellow and white, and the sintering is not very dense and loose."

With that said, Chen Jianghua took one out of the bucket, and Zhang Nan took a look at it.

Chen Jianghua continued: "This is also the first time I have hand-painted Tang blue and white. The color application process is to first apply a layer of transparent glaze on the surface of the carcass, then use cobalt material to trace the pattern on the glaze, and finally cover the pattern with another layer. Transparent glaze, the blue pattern decoration is between the lower two layers of glaze."

Zhang Nan also took a closer look, "Well, it is glaze, not underglaze. Jianghua, which kiln mouth do you think this is?"

Blue and white porcelain is a typical underglaze color. Few people know that the earliest blue and white in the Tang Dynasty is glaze color. And Zhang Nan is familiar with Jingdezhen Blue and White, but Tang Blue and White...

I'm not familiar with it at all.

Unexpectedly, Chen Jianghua smiled bitterly. "The glaze of these four plates is exactly the same as the white glaze of the Gongyi kiln that is discharged together, but there are obvious differences in the carcass, production process and firing process of the two.

The matrix of Gongyi kiln white porcelain is coarse and loose, and the degree of sintering is relatively high. The glaze is sintered tightly, and it is not easy to peel off.

The carcass of these four Tang blue and white discs is relatively delicate, but the degree of sintering is low. The sea between the glazes is because there is a layer of make-up soil on the surface of the carcass. As a result, the sintering is not very tight. One plate has peeled off the glaze..."

Make-up clay is made of fine clay or china clay, mixed with water to form a slurry, and then coated on the pottery or porcelain body, leaving a thin layer of color paste on the surface of the utensils.

This kind of craft is called make-up soil in ceramic technology, also called "pottery clothing", "decorative soil" and "tire-protecting glaze", which can beautify the tread, prevent the green tire from absorbing a large amount of glaze water and burning, and fill the air holes effect.
