Chapter 127 Several boxes were filled to the brim with gold bricks!

When Song Zhi Ning saw that several of the boxes were opened and filled with gold bricks, she covered her chest with her hand.

That's right, it's a gold brick, a gold brick that weighs several kilograms, not a gold bar!

Charles, on the other hand, remained calm. In his view, it was perfectly normal to salvage some gold and silver jewelry from a shipwreck.

He was more concerned about his young mistress. Seeing Song Zhi Ning's eyes sparkling as she looked at these things, he found it inexplicably adorable. If it could make his young mistress happy, then salvaging the sunken ship would be meaningful.

"Huh, is this porcelain?"

As several more large boxes were opened, Song Zhining saw that they contained exquisite porcelain pieces. Although the ship had sunk, the boxes seemed to be made of special materials, and even after thousands of years, they had not been flooded.

Many of the porcelain pieces from the past few years have likely been damaged by impacts, resulting in cracks or breakage; only a small number remain intact.

Charles came over and took a look. "Young Miss, if I'm not mistaken, this should be a Ru ware from the Song Dynasty in the Jia Kingdom."

Sky-blue Ru ware?!
When Charles mentioned Ru ware, Song Zhining recalled some things.

Ru ware, known as the pinnacle of porcelain from the Jia Kingdom, is renowned for its unique sky-blue color and exquisite craftsmanship. However, its firing techniques have been lost.

Even now, only a small portion has been restored.

The firing techniques of Ru ware are a very valuable cultural heritage.

"If only we could find records about the firing techniques of Ru ware," Song Zhining murmured.

“Young Miss, I think you might be able to find what you’re looking for here.” At that moment, Charles’s voice came from the side.

Ok?
Song Zhi Ning hurried over to take a look and saw several open boxes containing books, scrolls, and other items that were remarkably well-preserved.

"Yes, we can look for it."

Song Zhi Ning quickly put on special gloves and carefully began searching.

However, after Song Zhining finished rummaging through one box, she looked at the other boxes and then let out a gasp.

"Young Miss, have you found the records of Ru ware firing techniques that you were looking for?" Charles asked.

“No.” Song Zhi Ning pointed to the books in the box. “Grandpa Charles, look, what do these four words mean!”

Song Zhining's voice was full of excitement, and her face was flushed with excitement.

Charles not only speaks the language of Jia, but he also knows the Jia script.

Looking over there, the four characters "Yongle Encyclopedia" came into his view in a bright and clear way.

"Grandpa Charles, did you see that? It's the Yongle Encyclopedia! It's the Yongle Encyclopedia! All these boxes are filled with it."

The Yongle Encyclopedia was compiled during the reign of Emperor Yongle (Zhu Di) of the Ming Dynasty. It is not a single book, but rather a collection of more than 10,000 volumes.

The Yongle Encyclopedia is of immense value, but it has been lost to time, and its original copy has long been missing.

Song Zhining had a strong premonition that the boxes in front of her contained the original copy of the Yongle Encyclopedia.

No wonder we couldn't find it; it was in a shipwreck.

The question is, what is the origin of this shipwreck that it could possibly contain the Yongle Encyclopedia? Shouldn't that have been hidden in the Ming imperial palace?

It turns out that this shipwreck not only contained artifacts from the Song Dynasty, such as Ru ware, but also artifacts from the Ming Dynasty!
Suppressing her excitement, Song Zhining continued looking at the other boxes and soon found the information she had been looking for about the firing techniques of Ru ware.

"With this book, our country's craftsmen will be able to recreate the exquisite Ru ware."

Song Zhining had already decided in her heart that the Yongle Encyclopedia and the firing techniques of Ru ware should be handed over, as well as those boxes of Ru ware that were either broken or intact.

Song Zhining continued looking and saw many pieces of cloth and silk, but they had long since deteriorated after being soaked in seawater for thousands of years. "Miss, come and see, this looks like a painting, and it's still well preserved." Charles opened a long, rectangular box and took out a scroll made of silk.

As he and his staff slowly unfurled the silk cloth, the content of the painting was revealed.

Looking at the painting, Song Zhining saw what appeared to be a romantic encounter between a man and a woman, a love story where they could not be together.

Song Zhining looked at each scene one by one, her gaze falling on the name at the end of the painting, but she couldn't recognize those characters.

All I could do was take out my phone, take a picture, and look it up.

Soon, the name "Gu Kaizhi" came into Song Zhining's view.

"Gu Kaizhi? This is a painting by Gu Kaizhi! Wait, could this scroll be the 'Nymph of the Luo River'?" Song Zhining exclaimed.

The more she examined it, the more certain Song Zhining became.

"The Goddess of the Luo River" is a painting by Gu Kaizhi, a famous painter from the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It depicts the love story between Cao Zhi and the Goddess of the Luo River.

However, this painting has also been lost.

"This one should be genuine, right?"

"Am I that lucky? Not only did I come across the lost Yongle Encyclopedia and the Ru kiln firing technique, but I also encountered the lost Nymph of the Luo River painting." The value of these items is immeasurable.

Charles chuckled and agreed, "The young lady's luck is naturally excellent."

If she weren't good, how could she have become the old master's goddaughter and inherited billions of assets?

It wasn't until almost dark that Song Zhining managed to thoroughly search through the contents of the sunken ship.

They found many artifacts from the Song and Ming dynasties, which are now considered very valuable antiques.

In terms of literature, there are also the *Qing Nang Jing*, the *Huangdi Neijing*, etc.

There was even a large box containing a very large piece of ambergris.

Ambergris is very expensive nowadays, and it's sold by the gram. This large piece of ambergris also has very high medicinal value.

"This piece of ambergris is worth countless small fortunes." We must keep it.

Keep it; it can be passed down as a family heirloom.

After they had almost finished looking through everything in the shipwreck, Song Zhining asked Cha Er to put away everything except for the Yongle Encyclopedia, the Nymph of the Luo River, books, Ru ware, and other cultural relics.

Song Zhi Ning didn't plan to hand over the gold bricks, jade, ambergris, and other such items. She asked Charles to help her put them away safely. As previously agreed, she planned to find a warehouse in Jia Kingdom to store them discreetly before handing them over to the country.

Charles didn't really agree with Song Zhi Ning handing over these items. After all, the shipwreck was salvaged in international waters and was ownerless. Whoever salvaged it owned it and there was no need to hand it over.

He felt that the young lady could keep the things from the sunken ship if she liked them, or leave them or sell them if she didn't; there was no need to give them to others.

Although Charles disagreed, he understood Song Zhining's patriotism, and he wouldn't refute her opinion.

Although the young lady called him Grandpa Charles, he treated her as his mistress. How could a servant question his master's decisions?

"Young Miss, I will do as you instruct."

"Yes, Grandpa Charles, thank you for your help."

So, after Charles made the arrangements, an email from Gardenia Blossoms entered the State Administration of Cultural Heritage's inbox.

The shipwrecks have been modified to include not only those from the Song Dynasty but also those from the Ming Dynasty. In addition to artifacts from the Ming Dynasty, there are also artifacts from the Song Dynasty.
