Chapter 417

Everyone was stunned.

Although they hadn't experienced that era.

But watching TV, they knew that 30 taels was enough for an ordinary farming household to eat for many years.

Even for a lifetime.

But for blue-and-white porcelain, just a single bowl cost 30 taels.

How could an ordinary person afford that!

【Popularity】 +1+1+1+1....

—【Learned something new. I've always heard that Yuan blue-and-white is very expensive, but I never knew why it was expensive. It turns out it's a combination of so many reasons. It's hard to imagine that 30 taels for a bowl in that era, even an ordinary landlord couldn't afford it, right?】

—【Didn't Fang Yang say it? This kind of blue-and-white porcelain was all sold abroad, the materials for the blue-and-white were all imported from abroad, and in China, I guess only nobles or very wealthy people could use it. I just searched online, and the blue-and-white from the Tang Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty are more than just a little bit different.】

—【The patterns of Yuan blue-and-white are indeed very complex and cumbersome, which is also the reason why handmade things in our China are still relatively expensive today.】

—【Anything, as long as it's hooked up with the word 'imported', is not cheap. I really didn't expect that there was such a thing as 'imported' in that era. Then do these Persians count as the purchasing agents of that time?】

—【We don't produce blue-and-white porcelain, we are just the porters of blue-and-white porcelain, right?】

Fang Yang smiled and said: "Yuan blue-and-white is very expensive, it was simply not for ordinary people to use."

"But the kings and nobles at the time spared no expense to order and buy them in large quantities, a bit like the silk we talked about a while ago."

"So, the place with the largest collection of Yuan blue-and-white in the world is currently the Topkapi Palace."

"They also used blue-and-white porcelain plates to decorate mosques and palaces. Most of the 32 pieces of Yuan blue-and-white in the Tehran Museum in Iran came from the Ardabil Shrine Mosque."

"Among them, there is a Yuan blue-and-white large plate with phoenix and treasure patterns, with a diameter reaching 57.3 centimeters, which is very shocking."

"Imagine, if you took this to an auction, how much could it sell for? At least in my opinion, it wouldn't be lower than 'Han Xin Pursued Under the Moonlight'."

"Besides that, none of the other Yuan blue-and-white large plates are under 40 centimeters."

"A bowl costs 30 taels, how much would such a large blue-and-white plate cost? Imagine it for yourselves."

250. The mayor rushed over in person, are they going to build a Fang Yang museum again?

"Finally, I have to talk about our China!"

"If I remember correctly, this discovery should be the largest discovery of Yuan blue-and-white in China's history!"

"I haven't counted specifically, but it's possible to leap to become the second largest collection in the world."

"It's just a pity for those Yuan blue-and-white pieces that were sold as fakes."

As Fang Yang finished telling the story about Yuan blue-and-white, everyone felt deeply shocked.

Yuan blue-and-white is different from blue-and-white porcelain of other eras.

It has strong characteristics of the times.

Many reasons converged to make Yuan blue-and-white an extremely rare cultural relic.

Just like the 30-plus pieces of Yuan blue-and-white dug up today.

Fang Yang took a preliminary look.

Just the large jars alone numbered 4 or 5.

The others were also relatively large.

Even the plates and bowls used for eating were much larger than normal.

After being cleaned by archaeological experts, the blue-and-white patterns on them could be clearly seen.

Almost every one of them was painted with dense patterns.

Compared to normal blue-and-white porcelain.

Yuan blue-and-white can't even be called white-based blue-and-white.

Because the patterns on it account for more than the blank spaces.

Director Lin was also rubbing his hands as he looked at these Yuan blue-and-white porcelains.

If you want to say who is the happiest, it's none other than him.

This kind of cultural relic is not like the bronze bell from before.

It might be taken away by a provincial museum.

But these Yuan blue-and-white pieces won't be.

Just thinking that these Yuan blue-and-white pieces can stay in his own city later.

At that time, it will be considered second to none among the surrounding cultural relic bureaus.

Of course, except for Xihai City.

"Fang Yang, I'm so excited, over 30 pieces of Yuan blue-and-white, the museum with the most in our China only has 19 pieces!"

"And for those 19 pieces, they even specially built a museum for it, called the Yuan Blue-and-White Porcelain Museum."

"With these 30-plus pieces of mine, once it's announced... tsk tsk!! Just thinking about it makes me excited!"

"No, I have to make a call to the mayor. The things dug up here today are too shocking."

After saying that, before Fang Yang could reply, he took out his phone and called the mayor.

After the call ended, he spoke again: "The mayor knows you are here with me, and without a word, he let the driver drive over. Your face... is much bigger than mine!"

Fang Yang smiled helplessly: "The mayor is probably coming for these cultural relics!"

"No, no, no..." Director Lin immediately denied it.

"Cultural relics are very important, this is beyond doubt. But you, Fang Yang, in our China, no matter where you go, I believe the mayor of any place would welcome you, even in Beijing, I don't think it would be an exception!"

"That exaggerated?" Fang Yang himself couldn't believe it.

Director Lin nodded seriously: "I'm not talking nonsense. If you say cultural relics have their historical value, then you, Fang Yang, are the true national treasure of our China."

The cameraman added leisurely: "Brother, you are a giant panda~~~"

Fang Yang was also speechless and rolled his eyes at him.

"You're making me feel a bit floaty."

Director Lin laughed: "When the mayor comes in a while, I'll have to talk to him about building a Yuan Blue-and-White Museum. From now on, this will be the number one Yuan Blue-and-White Museum in China, plus the ones you, Fang Yang, dug up, tsk tsk!! It's incredible!"

After chatting for a while, Fang Yang checked the time.

There was still some time before dark.

Staying was boring.

Leaving directly, he was afraid the mayor would come and find no one, and people would say he was putting on airs.

So he simply climbed back onto the excavator and started digging.

Fang Yang driving the excavator is something everyone hopes to see.

Whether it's the Cultural Relics Bureau or Tiger.

Including the audience in the live broadcast room.

Because in their hearts.

As long as Fang Yang starts digging, anything is possible.

However, it's a pity that this time he dug for a full half hour and didn't dig up anything.

Everyone couldn't help but look a bit disappointed.

In fact, they forgot.

Fang Yang originally came to dig dirt.

Digging dirt was originally his normal situation.

But in their eyes, it had become digging for treasure.

If he couldn't dig up treasure, that would be what's not right.

【Popularity】 +1+1+1+1.

—【Looks like today is over, but I'm already very satisfied today. That bronze bell was simply too shocking, and the blue-and-white porcelain was even more blinding to my dog eyes. If nothing goes wrong, after tonight, these two things will shake all of China.】

—【That epitaph of Lady Shangguan Wan'er is not bad either, at least it's also at the national treasure level. Every time Fang Yang digs up a cultural relic, after listening to him finish the story, I especially want to study what this cultural relic is really like, and what really happened in the history he talked about. The more I study, the more interesting and wonderful I find it.】

—【Before, I was a super academic failure. Since watching Fang Yang's live broadcast room, I can also brag to my friends that I am a history research expert. Every time I tell them things, they are stunned. Especially when picking up girls, telling them these things they haven't heard of is very easy to arouse the interest of girls.】

—【Damn! It has this effect? Looks like I'm outdated. This thing can also be used to pick up girls? I've always used it to tell stories to my niece. Don't say, even a 6-year-old child listens with great interest. I have to say that historical stories are really charming.】

After digging for a while, the mayor also rushed to the scene.

When he looked at the cultural relics piled up on the ground.
