Take a plane to the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 307
The driver of the car went to the car to get the electronic scale.

Tong Li is a senior antique appraiser with the surname Ma. When he saw the ingot of gold, his intuition told him that he bought a good thing. The price of gold with historical value and pure gold are completely different concepts. .

For things like gold, it is impossible to identify the age by scientific means. You can only look at the pattern and the patina, and sometimes the patina is not necessarily accurate.

Patina is a kind of natural luster formed by the oxidation of the surface of antiques through rubbing, sweat stains and oxygen in the air due to collectors' play during the process of cultural relics spreading.

Generally speaking, jade, porcelain, calligraphy and painting, silk, especially wood, tend to form a thick layer of patina after years of sharpening. The longer the age, the thicker the patina.

But gold is different, because this metal is too stable and not easy to oxidize at room temperature, so it is impossible to judge the age of antiques by relying on patina.

Can only look at the format, size and weight.

Not long after, the driver took out the electronic scale from the BMW car and handed it to Tong Li.

Tong Li smiled apologetically at Zhu Changyuan and Liu Guang, and said, "Please forgive me for being rude."

Put the electronic scale under your feet, put the 50 taels of gold ingot on the tray, and the weight is shown below: 1860.22g.

Tong Li took out his mobile phone, did some calculations, and then said to Liu Guang, "A gold ingot of 50 taels weighs 860 grams, and one tael is equivalent to 37 grams."

"How?" Liu Guang asked.

"Almost!" Tong Li said with a smile while rubbing the gold: "It's true, one tael in the Ming Dynasty was almost equivalent to 37 to 38 grams today, limited by the technological conditions at that time, it was impossible to be too accurate .”

In fact, not only the weight, it can be confirmed from several aspects that this is the gold of the Ming Dynasty, but there is no need for him to explain it too clearly to these people in front of him.

"Are all of your batches like this?"

Tong Li asked.

"Yes, everything is like this." After Liu Guang finished speaking, he took out a dozen treasure ship-shaped ingots from the car and handed them to Tong Li to watch.

Tong Li looked at it and nodded, and said: "Okay, my task is completed. As for the transaction, President Ma will contact you in person later."

Tong Li and Liu Guang shook hands and left with the car.

The deal was finalized, but Zhu Changyuan got busy.

There are less than ten days left before the High Seas Auction, his venue has not yet been set up, and the big ship has not been refitted yet!These are all getting busy.

First of all, contact the manufacturer and let them have a look at their boat, and then carefully design and construct it.

As for the big ship, it will be summoned first and berthed in the well-protected waterway of the port.

In addition to a small three-story building, the big ship is a huge deck. Below the deck is a wide ground like a basement, which is just right for an exhibition stand and auction venue.

The interior of the big ship is already exquisite, and it only needs a little embellishment, putting in some high-end stools, tables and chairs, customizing some slogans and signs, making two restaurants, and some temporary resting places are enough.

Of course, some necessary exhibition screens, promotional videos, and electronic equipment are also essential.

All of these, including those short promotional pictures in the early stage, either used the works of previous photographers, or organized people to shoot temporarily, anyway, they were all completed within three days.

After the entire site was set up, Zhu Changyuan and Liu Guang carried all the valuable antiques onto the big ship one by one, placed them, and turned on all the lights, and a beautiful exhibition hall appeared in front of them.

Complementing the decorations in the hall are the beautiful cultural relics lying on the platform, which look like they are at least several grades higher than those placed in the system or piled up in the warehouse of the meat factory before. The perception is also greatly improved.

It will be three days after everything is ready. At the same time, as long as this thing is ready, the specific time and place of the auction can also be determined.

After a period of selection, Zhu Changyuan chose a place at random, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, at 130 degrees north latitude and [-] degrees east longitude.

It belongs to the Philippine Sea, in the vast sea about [-] kilometers east of the Philippine Islands.

Although this place is very close to the Philippines, according to international law, it already belongs to the high seas. Of course, this place is the deep sea of ​​the Pacific Ocean.

The key is how to transport the big ship, which seems to be a huge problem, but for Zhu Changyuan, it is very simple.

First, clear out the people in the waterway, put the refitted big ship into the system by yourself, and then buy a swimming ring to put on your body.

Open the system, shuttle back to the ancient society, and then use the ancient society as the medium, open the system again non-stop, click to return to the modern society, open the map, zoom in, detail, and directly search for 130 degrees east longitude and [-] degrees north latitude on the map , and then sure, "whoosh" once again returned to modern society.

However, instead of returning to the meat joint factory, it fell directly into the sea.

"Nima!"

A mouthful of salty sea water with a slightly fishy smell was poured into the sea, causing Zhu Changyuan to curse, but fortunately he was wearing a swimming ring so that he would not sink into the bottom of the sea.

Thirteen degrees north latitude, although it is far from the equator, it is still considered a tropical area, so the sea water is not very cold.

"Come out!"

Open the system to summon the large ship that has been refitted, then leap forward and jump onto the ship, the high seas have arrived.

Zhu Changyuan ran to the bow of the ship alone, and hung the bright red flag of the Republic on the sides of the big ship. This ship was considered legal.Because according to the international law of the high seas, any ship navigating on the high seas must be approved by a certain country, and must only fly the flag of one country.

However, there are too many ships on the high seas, and no one specifically checks whether the ships have been approved by any country. Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is only necessary to fly the national flag.

Zhu Changyuan still doesn't believe that someone dares to go to other people's boats to check their documents. If that's the case, he really doesn't mind slapping the people who check them into the sea.

At the same time he arrived on the high seas, Liu Guang organized people to publish information on a portal website with huge international influence, publicizing that on the end of a certain month a week later, at the position of 130 degrees north latitude and [-] degrees east longitude on the international high seas, a cultural relics exhibition would be held. auction.

All of a sudden, those who responded gathered.

In particular, after Liu Guang issued a statement on the Internet and posted photos of several imperial utensils used by the Japanese emperor on the Internet, the whole little Japan was fried.

In less than a day, the promotional video of the auction recorded by Liu Guang quickly spread to Japan across the ocean through the Internet, and spread wildly among the Japanese people.

In Tokyo, in the National Museum, more than a dozen silver-haired old men sat quietly together, watching the short film on the screen, and the excitement in their hearts could not be concealed.

To be honest, most of the short stories in the exhibition are Korean items, and there are not many about Japan. There are only three short stories from the beginning to the end. Can't sleep anymore.

The first thing about the Emperor of Japan in the short film is a square gold seal. To be honest, the gold seal is not worth much, but there are two words on the gold seal that make these old professors excited: Kuanaga.

The so-called Kuan Yong is the reign name used by the emperor, just like the "Chongzhen", "Hongwu" and "Jiajing" of the Ming Empire.

But the year name of Kuan Yong has special significance in Japanese history.

The Japanese emperor who owns it is a woman like Wu Zetian, one of the few empresses in Japanese history.

Among the 120 five emperors of the Yamato nation from ancient times to the present, eight women have ruled the world on the throne of the emperor either because of their own strength or because of the general trend.

And this woman who was called "Kan Yong" in the same year as Chongzhen was one of them, and she was the seventh of the eight Japanese empresses, that is, the second to last.

As the saying goes, what is rare is the most precious. For some historians of the Yamato nation, spending their entire lives picking up the story of a certain queen is the greatest meaning of life.

"Crack!" One of the majestic old men tapped the control button, the clip paused, and the screen stopped on the small gold seal.

"Dear colleagues." (If this book is made into a TV series in a certain year, there should be subtitles here) The old guy said in Japanese: "As we all know, Emperor Mingzheng is the seventh empress recorded in Japanese history. He ascended the throne at the age of 20, abdicated at the age of 50, and lived for more than 73 years after he abdicated, until he died at the age of [-], never married!"

"At the same time, Emperor Meisho's mother was also the daughter of the Tokugawa family. The Kanei period was also the initial stage of the development of the Edo Shogunate. This period of history was born with the Edo Shogunate."

"So, I don't need to say, you should know the importance of this golden seal to the whole of Japan."

After a pause, giving the people below enough time to react, the old man said again: "Next, let's look at the second thing."

The short film continues to open, and what flashes into the human eye is a book-like thing that looks like gold. The gold pages of the book are engraved with Japanese characters from right to left and from top to bottom. At the top of many words, It is three big characters, translated into Chinese is: Haiban.

"This is?"

An old man with silver hair and a stooped figure only took one look, then stood up tremblingly, coughed twice, and was so excited that he stretched out his head and said: "The golden order of the country, the golden order of the country, this is The Edo Shogunate's first lock-up order!"

"What? The first lock-up order?"

Not only the old man who presided over the meeting, but all the people below opened their eyes wide, showing incredulous gazes.

The Golden Order of Locking the Country is originally a cultural relic of great historical value, let alone the first Golden Order of Locking the Country?
