Chapter 963
The World War II devils marched across Southeast Asia, not to mention how many treasures they grabbed, but the porcelain salvaged from the bottom of the sea made Chen Wenzhe greedy.

He also confirmed that of the two treasure ships that disappeared near the inland river in South Vietnam, one of them was transporting precious metals such as gold and gemstones, and the other was transporting porcelain.

As for the other ships, they must have been sunk as bait to deceive others.

So up to now, those most precious and legendary treasures have not been found yet.

Back then, the little devil searched for a lot of antiques in the country, so he naturally understood the preciousness of antiques and cultural relics.

Now that you have encountered a sunken ship, you will definitely salvage it.

Through backtracking, Chen Wenzhe discovered that only one sunken ship was salvaged, and they found more than [-] pieces of precious porcelain!
In the history of South Vietnam, it was deeply influenced by Chinese porcelain culture. In Southeast Asia, the South Vietnam ceramic industry is the most mature.

Don't think that this is an exaggeration. Now China is only a big country of ceramics, but it is not a powerful country of ceramics.

Similar to tea, China is also a big tea country, but not a tea powerhouse.

Well, there is also silk. Now, China is also a big silk country, but it is not a silk power.

Ceramics, silk, and tea, the three foreign trade items that have occupied an absolutely strong position since ancient times, are not developing very well now.

Not to mention anything else, just Nayue Bazhuang, or translated as Bochang, this is a ceramic village, 10 kilometers away from Hanoi city, known as Jingzhen in South Vietnam, and its products are exported to Europe, America, Japan, Korea and Taiwan.

As far as Chen Wenzhe knows, there are not ten but eight similar professional ceramic villages in South Vietnam.

South Vietnam has always had an excellent ability to master top ceramic technology.

In the [-]th century, the only places in the world capable of firing blue and white porcelain were Jingzhen in China and Nanyue.

During the post-Lei Dynasty, South Vietnamese ceramics were exported to Arabia and Europe in large quantities through the Maritime Silk Road.

The porcelain they produced even replaced the Ming Dynasty porcelain at that time, because at that time Ming Yingzong began to close the country until Ming Muzong.

In recent years, the South Vietnamese archaeological team has successively carried out "sea fishing" in the offshore area of ​​Vietnam, salvaging many shipwrecks from the post-Lei Dynasty in Vietnam.

Therefore, not only the little devil is lucky, but the modern South Vietnamese government is not bad!
The central waters of South Vietnam, around the Ming and Qing Dynasties, was one of the busiest shipping routes in the world.

There are a large number of shipwrecks and treasures of cultural relics sleeping on the bottom of the sea, among which there are many blue and white porcelain.

In recent years, some overseas archaeological experts have begun to cooperate with South Vietnam to carry out salvage work in this sea area.

Especially the sea area in the central part of South Vietnam has a lot of "treasures".

Historically, it was an important trade transfer station in Southeast Asia and the largest port after the ancient Chinese Maritime Silk Road left the country.

This place is actually Hoi An during the Champa Kingdom and Guangnan Nguyen Lord period.

In those excellent ports along the coast of South Vietnam, a large number of passing ships stopped here for trade hundreds of years ago.

The Maritime Silk Road greatly promoted the economy and society of South Vietnam at that time, and even changed the history of Vietnam.

Ruan Zhu in Guangnan was able to fight against Zheng Zhu in the north because of trade.

From the Arabian dhows in the 9th century to the European clippers in the [-]th century, merchant ships from all over the world shuttled back and forth carrying rare treasures.

The changeable local climate has caused countless merchant ships to sink here.

According to statistics, there are no fewer than a thousand ancient ships sunk in the South Vietnam Sea.

Most of the goods on board were silk and porcelain carried by the Silk Road at sea at that time.

Silk has disappeared without a trace in the long river of history, and only porcelain can be left on the seabed in large quantities and for a long time, so this sea area is often called the underwater porcelain exhibition ground.

In the past, local people did not understand that although broken porcelain was often seen on the beach, it was not salvaged.

After that, the little devil salvaged it, and after that, until the 1990s, this underwater porcelain museum was discovered, which shocked the world instantly, and attracted the attention of archaeologists and antique collectors to this sea area.

South Vietnam had released news before that they discovered the shipwreck that sank here on the way to Europe on the Maritime Silk Road.

Through salvage, 4.8 pieces of porcelain cultural relics were found, including some tea caddies dedicated to Europe.

In 1991, this batch of porcelain was bought by buyers who bid nearly tens of millions of dollars.

Most of the remaining South Vietnamese blue and white porcelains were manufactured in the [-]th to [-]th centuries, roughly equivalent to the middle of the Ming Dynasty in China.

Except for a few works, most of them are out-of-water porcelain salvaged from the seabed.

In fact, Chen Wenzhe didn't pay much attention to the Nanyue treasures in the shipwreck, because there were already too many treasures in his hands.

Of course, what he cares most about is things, especially the local ceramic technology in South Vietnam.

After going around and around, Chen Wenzhe returned to the industry he was familiar with.

On this day, Chen Wenzhe came to a ceramics factory.

This ceramic factory belongs to the factory that moved over from Pingyang, and mainly produces porcelain, especially blue and white porcelain.

Binh Duong pottery is very famous in South Vietnam, even abroad.

This point is much stronger than Chen Wenzhe's one thought hall in China.

Binh Duong pottery is famous not only for pots, but also for household items such as pots, bowls, cups, and teapots.

These products come in unique colors and patterns.

In recent years, due to changes in development ideas, Binh Duong pottery has made important contributions to local economic development, created employment for many people, and brought stable income.

Currently, Binh Duong has nearly 300 ceramic factories, supplying 1.3 to 1.5 million pieces of products to the market every year.

Through continuous efforts, Pingyang ceramics are changing with each passing day, gradually conquering demanding markets such as Europe and America.

The factory where Chen Wenzhe works is a factory for export.

In order to facilitate export, it moved to the coast.

It's just that to make porcelain here, everything needs to be transported from the mainland, and the cost is relatively high.

If the overseas market expands smoothly and the business is good enough, these are nothing.

However, overseas markets are not so easy to open. Some ceramic factories can do it, while others can't.

So this ceramics factory can't do it. The foreign market cannot be opened, and the domestic market is not competitive because of the high cost price, so it can only go bankrupt and go out of business.

In this way, Chen Wenzhe just got cheaper.

When I came to the south, I was just traveling and having fun.

If it is suitable, return to the sea city with the treasure.

However, after coming here, a series of treasures are waiting for him to develop, how can he leave easily now?

Not to mention the Spanish treasure ships, not to mention the eighty-four transport ships of the little devil, but to say that Li Weizhao's family's mines are all worthy of Chen Wenzhe's stay here.

Gao Qijing has now led a team to the high seas, usually fishing, and if there is an opportunity, he will look for the whereabouts of the Spanish treasure ship.

And Chen Wenzhe, who stayed in South Vietnam, must find a way to find the Southeast Asian treasure hidden by the little devil.
