Chapter 140: The Mystery of the Millennium
Chapter 140 The Mystery of the Thousand Years
Without letting everyone wait for a long time, a row of large vehicles drove into the village. Because the roads in the village were relatively narrow and only one lane was allowed to be used. In addition, they were all mud roads, so the road was overwhelmed and was quickly tortured to pieces. The road was pressed out of two deep trenches, and some places even collapsed. The road was interrupted for a while, and the vehicles behind could not move in and out.
"It seems that it is impossible to start construction in all directions immediately. This road cannot withstand such a great pressure, so it must be strengthened and widened." Director Cao said with a frown.
"Well! No hurry to do this, let's do it! Those excavators can walk, let them in first! Dig a layer of them in this place and pile mud there so that our personnel can work normally. At the same time, contact relevant parties immediately and send a road repair team to quickly repair a qualified hard-bottom road." Mr. Yan ordered.
Director Cao immediately had an idea and prepared to build a two-lane asphalt road as possible. The road entering the village is not long, and the asphalt road is paved with asphalt and has extremely fast hardening speed. If it starts overnight, it is estimated that it will be put into use tomorrow. He immediately notified the relevant parties and asked to repair the road as quickly as possible. On the other hand, he continued to negotiate with the villagers to requisition the farmland next to the road.
Although the people in the village lost some land, the political subsidies were very reasonable, so they made a lot of money, so naturally no one had any objections. And on the other hand, they could build a road without paying money from the villagers. Where can I find such a thing? So the villagers allocated a lot, and many young and middle-aged people even went to help.
Under the command of experts, the excavator first pushed down Lao Ren's cattle house, and then carefully dug the ground nearly 2,000 square meters around.
Time flies in the tense atmosphere. Seeing that the sun was setting and dusk was approaching, Mr. Yan said to everyone: "It's getting late now! Everyone go back to have a meal and rest! Come here tomorrow!"
Director Cao made another arrangement, the police stayed to guard the post, and the excavators were divided into two groups, taking turns to work, and rushing to work overnight. Several experts were left behind, who specifically guided how to excavate. The others went back first, and Hong Tianbao, Tang Xin and Sun Moba also followed Mr. Yan back to the hotel. Lin Hui did not try to keep him. His place was too small, and he could not stay for a few people, and he was not as comfortable as the hotel.
On the way out of the village, Hong Tianbao found that the road construction work was ready. Many mud trucks filled with sand and gravel were lined up in a long queue, unloading the sand and gravel on the trucks on the road, and then a huge earth press was dispatched. At the end, he was a canned truck loading asphalt.
The next morning, everyone hurriedly ate the breakfast prepared by the hotel, and then led by Director Cao to the Chaiyao site. When they arrived at the entrance of the village, Hong Tianbao and others discovered that a brand new asphalt road had been built. This road was wider than the regular two-lane, and it should be no problem for three large trucks to drive side by side.
"Yeah! The speed is OK!" Old Yan nodded and said.
Director Cao smiled but said nothing. Hong Tianbao thought: It seems that Director Cao put in a lot of effort last night! At least it has enough money in finance. In China, as long as the funds are in place, the speed is famous for being fast. If the funds are insufficient, it is normal to build a road for three to five years.
Hong Tianbao also found that many earth-carriers were shuttled back and forth on the road, and part of the Xindao ruins should have been dug out, right?
When everyone arrived at the scene, the venue was still busy. At this time, Hong Tianbao saw that a huge pond had been dug out here, with a depth of about ten meters. Many people below were continuing to dig down with tools, and one of them was level above the deep well dug by Lao Ren before.
Mr. Yan and others walked down and weighed it for a while. Mr. Yan said to Director Cao: "I ordered the excavator to dig two more meters down, which would be much faster. And I think the highest top of this site should be three meters below, and it will not damage the site."
Hong Tianbao nodded secretly, and Mr. Yan's guess was really accurate. There was a commanding height at the place where construction had not started, just about thirteen meters deep.
"I have seen the top of the building here, so everyone should be more careful!" At this time, screams came from the other side that was dug the deepest. Old Yan and others hurriedly walked over there and found that they had indeed touched the wall made of blue bricks.
"Hey! Everyone should be careful!" Director Cao became nervous, and he quickly ordered the worker to say.
After another hour, everyone finally cleared out a complete building. The building was shaped like an ancient castle, with thick blue bricks on the walls and a gate in the middle.
"Ah! There are a few corpses here, but they are still standing." A staff member shouted in the distance.
The voice immediately attracted a lot of people. Mr. Yan and others hurriedly walked around the city wall and went to the other side and the city gate. Two digging workers stood on one side, their eyes were frightened. There were three corpses in front of them, and their posture was exactly the movement of running towards the front door. Seeing this scene, except for Hong Tianbao, Mr. Yan and others were all stunned and finally looked at Hong Tianbao.
"It seems that Tianbao's guess is correct. This kiln site was instantly swallowed by mudslides. In this way, the reason for the sudden evaporation of the wood kiln is self-evident. Such a thousand-year mystery has been revealed." Old Yan said cautiously.
"Dispose these corpses properly immediately." Director Cao immediately said to the staff around him.
"Try not to destroy the corpse, and build a cemetery next to you at that time." Old Yan also spoke.
As time slipped away, buildings appeared before everyone's eyes and finally formed a huge building complex.
"It's really unbelievable! An ancient porcelain kiln was built so magnificently, and its scale was even more spectacular than many factories today." Director Cao said excitedly.
Mr. Yan nodded and continued: "The release of this porcelain kiln should be directly side by side with the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang in Xi'an. It seems that Zhou Shizong had deep hopes for this porcelain kiln at that time. At that time, such buildings could almost match many capitals."
As soon as Mr. Yan finished speaking, the phone rang. "Haha! Mr. Kong should have arrived." Mr. Yan couldn't help but say when he saw that the number was Mr. Kong's.
"Then let's go up and pick them up!" Director Cao said that and was about to rush up.
At this time, Kong Lao and others had arrived. They were standing on the top and looking down, and a grand palace-like building complex was revealed in their eyes. Kong Lao and others were also shocked. They had never heard of a porcelain kiln that could be made of such a scale. Even the largest porcelain kiln in Jingdezhen is now incomparable!
This time, there were several experts directly dispatched by the central government. Yesterday, the cultural department uploaded the approximate scale of the site. Several bigwigs from the Ministry of Culture were immediately alarmed and immediately organized a better team of experts to help.
Before Director Cao and others could go up, staff from Zhengzhou local cultural department came up.
"Welcome to Professor Fang and everyone to help!" The expert who had previously argued with Hong Tianbao quickly reached out.
"Well! It's a good job for the time being, and it's very rare to not destroy every brick or tile." Fang Ting, an expert in the team-in-chief dispatched this time, said. This person is very famous in China and is a professor at Beijing University. He has participated in many major archaeological discoveries in China. He is just like Mr. Kong, and he is a top authority.
At this time, Hong Tianbao and others also came up. Tang Xin immediately ran over and said with a smile: "Teacher! Grandpa Ding, why did you arrive so early? Hey! Grandpa Fang is here too?"
Kong Lao smiled kindly and was very satisfied with the discovery of Hong Tianbao and others during this period. In just ten days, not only did he find another jade carving of the zodiac god, but he also found a super-historical porcelain in Nanjing. Now, not only did he find Qiyin wood fish and magical Tianlong jade strings in Zhengzhou, but he also dug up such a huge porcelain kiln.
"Haha! How could he not be present for such a big thing?" Kong Lao said with a smile.
"Yes! This incident shocked a lot of people last night, and I, the old man, had to come. Tang Yatou, you made great contributions this time. As long as you develop this porcelain kiln, domestic archaeology will be raised to a higher level internationally." Professor Fang said.
"Come here, this is the famous archaeologist Fang Ting and Professor Fang," said Kong Lao, who waved to Hong Tianbao. He liked this young man more and more, and directly treated him as his junior student.
Hong Tianbao quickly reached out and held the old man's hands, and said, "It turns out that he is Mr. Fang, who has long been famous!" In fact, Hong Tianbao's words were also polite words. He had never heard of the person Fang Ting.
"Haha! This is what I said! I heard the most during this period of time, my friend's name and legend." Fang Ting was shocked when he saw Hong Tianbao so young. He thought to himself: This person is steady and polite, smart and mature, and seems to be unparalleled in luck. He has achieved many achievements at a young age. It can be foreseeable that this person will likely surpass them, the old ghosts and become a master of the generation.
Although Kong Lao and others are already at the top of the antique world, they have all developed to the limit, and it is almost impossible to go further, so they are destined to stop at the master level for life. Hong Tianbao’s biggest advantage is that he is still young and has the capital to make it impossible to break through to the master level.
"Girl, where is your jade string? Let me see." Kong Lao said to Tang Xin. He had heard Mr. Yan talk about the magic of the jade string for a long time and was always curious.
Tang Xin smiled and took off the jade string from his wrist and handed it to Mr. Kong. As soon as the jade string was started, a cold feeling spread throughout his body. As if he was in autumn, Mr. Kong immediately lit up. He hung it up and found that the two jade beads were kept at a certain distance.
Old Fang, who was on the side, widened his eyes and said in horror: "Damn it! Is there such a weird thing?"
He reached out to close the two jade beads. When Lao's wrinkled hands touched the jade string, he felt the same as Old Kong's eyes. Old Fang couldn't close his eyes even more. Once his hands were loosened, the two close beads separated again. Old Fang's eyes blinked several times in a very interesting way, and finally wiped them with his hands.
Not to mention Mr. Fang, the survey experts and archaeological experts around him also looked in disbelief. Ding Deguang, who had not made a sound just now, even his eyes were even brighter. Tang Xin suddenly shot over, and the old guy put away his "pervert"-like eyes.
Kong Lao untied the rope and took out a bead. All the phenomena just now disappeared.
"Strange thing! It's the first time I saw such a thing." Old Master Kong strung beads in, then tied them and said to Tang Xin: "Good thing! Girl, please save it well."
Tang Xin didn't answer, nodded and said, "Teacher, please send it to my grandfather when you go back this time!"
When Kong Lao heard this, he smiled with relief. Although this was not for him, his disciples were filial to him and he was happy: "Okay! I'll take it first."
Under the leadership of local experts, Fang Lao went to the temporary camp. Fang Lao waited for the experts from the capital to survey the site again. Finally, Fang Lao said seriously: "This site is one-seventh of the size you expected. Fortunately, we come here, otherwise it will be a bad thing."
After saying that, Mr. Fang drew it again on the drawings. Tang Xin, Mr. Yan, Director Cao and others suddenly looked at Hong Tianbao and Sun Moba. What Mr. Fang drew was very close to what Sun Moba changed before.
"So Tianbao is still an expert in surveying!" Finally, Old Yan smiled bitterly, feeling that this young man was getting more and more difficult to see through. The local experts suddenly looked very ugly and looked at Hong Tianbao in complexity.
"What?" Kong Lao asked in confusion.
Mr. Yan immediately repeated Hong Tianbao's guess yesterday. After listening to Mr. Yan's words, Mr. Kong also felt dizzy. Mr. Fang's eyes lit up. He had no disciples yet. Hong Tianbao's talent was just right for him. He was also moved. Although he knew that Hong Tianbao already had a teacher, he was a teacher in antiques, and this archaeology was another matter.
"It seems that my friend is also very talented in archaeology, and it's a pity to waste it. I wonder if I have any interest in this area? Although I am not talented, I can still solve my doubts for me." Although Mr. Fang said it very obscurely, everyone present understood his intention to accept disciples.
At this time, everyone present, including the main owner Hong Tianbao, was dizzy.
"Ahem! I already have a teacher!" Hong Tianbao deliberately rude. He didn't want to develop in archaeology, but he didn't want to refuse directly. He lost the face of this archaeological authority, so he carried Uncle Gu out as a shield.
However, his excuse was a bit bad, and Mr. Fang waved his hand without caring and said, "It doesn't matter. Who said that there is only one teacher? What's more, I and the ancient Chinese are not in the same direction and there is no conflict. Could it be that my friend looks down on me, the old man?"
Hong Tianbao smiled bitterly. You said this. Do I have any choice? He had no choice but to nod and said, "Thank you for the teacher to look down on me, students will work hard, and I hope they won't embarrass the teacher."
Mr. Fang was surprised and laughed so hard that he couldn't see his eyes. He said three good words: "Okay! OK! OK! I also know you are very busy now, so wait until you return to the capital and learn about knowledge from me!"
Old Yan and Old Ding were a little chewy and secretly called the old man shameless. But then they became upset and turned around to scold themselves for their face. If they had learned to be like Lao Fang before, maybe Hong Tianbao would be his disciple now. They were also jealous of Hong Tianbao's talent! Although they are not very capable of ancient Chinese, who doesn't know that they have accepted a good disciple now?
At this time, Director Cao suddenly received an unexpected call, which was called by the Deputy Director.
"Old Cao, this time I'm going to suffer! You can find a way! The Palace Museum has joined hands with the Ministry of Culture to take away our heavy firewood kiln weapon, so I can't stop it." The deputy director said anxiously.
Director Cao's face suddenly changed, he suddenly glared at Director Ding, and immediately cursed: "Old Ding! What do you mean, an old bastard? Put away your robber behavior as soon as possible, otherwise I will not let you leave Zhengzhou." Director Cao also did not care about his identity and threatened Director Ding.
This incident made everyone present confused. Only Mr. Yan and Mr. Kong, who knew Director Ding, had a good understanding of some tricks. The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, thinking that it was easy to change their nature and could not change their nature! Director Ding still couldn't stop seeing the baby, and always thought that good babies had to be put in the Palace Museum.
"Oh! Lao Cao! Why do you have to be so tired? This site is so big! There must be many treasures inside. At that time, wouldn't it be enough for you to pick two items to collect them at your Zhengzhou Museum?" Director Ding, the old god, did not take Director Cao's threat at all.
Director Cao pointed at Director Ding and his fingers trembled, which showed how angry he was.
"Old Ding, if you dare to take away my heavy firewood kiln weapon, I will never finish it with you!" Director Cao's beard trembled.
Hong Tianbao was sweating profusely, and Director Ding's behavior was indeed a bit too much. Fortunately, there were some forces in his family, otherwise he would have been hit at the beginning.
"Old Kong, Mr. Yan, you judge! Is he an old robber right?" Director Cao immediately pulled both Mr. Kong and Mr. Yan in, both of whom smiled bitterly.
Hong Tianbao is also emotionally favored Director Cao, and he feels that this old man is indeed a bit pitiful. The Zhengzhou Museum has been operating for so many years but has not improved. The opportunity comes. Director Ding comes to fight for the autumn wind again, which is really cruel.
"Since this site is in Zhengzhou, I also think it is more appropriate to keep that heavy weapon in Zhengzhou town. Director Ding would not want to move the site back to the capital, right?" Hong Tianbao couldn't help but stand up and say justice.
Director Ding glared at Hong Tianbao and secretly scolded this kid for being troublesome. If it weren't for the conditions, he would have really wanted to move the entire site back.
Sun Moba, who was standing behind Hong Tianbao, saw the old man glaring at the eyes. He immediately stared at twice as much as Boss Ding, and said righteously: "I also think the boss is right! You, Old Man Ding, are a robber, you can't stand others having good things, and you're much more bastard than my old Sun."
As soon as these words were said, Director Cao was so grateful! Hong Tianbao and Sun Moba really talked about it. Now no matter how you look at Sun Moba, you will find it cute!
Director Ding was scolded by Sun Moba as if he was a robber and a bastard, and he was about to explode. Old Kong could no longer remain silent and immediately spoke: "Oh! What Tianbao said is not unreasonable. As you said, there should be many treasures in it. Will you just choose the Palace Museum first?"
When Director Cao saw that Mr. Kong finally said something nice, he was relieved. Director Ding was very upset and finally sighed and said, "We must choose the Palace Museum first."
"That's it! That's it! Or is it Lao Ding reasonable!" Director Cao laughed repeatedly, and finally did not forget to flatter him.
Fang Laosi looked around for a week and then said, "Your Zhengzhou has a great task this time! This porcelain kiln has been developed and needs to be continuously maintained and repaired. It is inevitable to build a huge rain cover shed here. It is a huge consumption in terms of manpower and financial resources!"
Director Cao nodded seriously, but he knew in his heart that as long as the kiln site was developed and opened to the public, it would be a huge income. Therefore, he was not worried about this issue. What Mr. Fang said was not a problem. They had many ancient monuments in Zhengzhou, and there was really no shortage of talents for maintenance and repair.
