382 Han Tomb

Banks will always be like this.

Always ask if you want to borrow money when you have it.

You can't borrow money when you really need it.

The developer is even more unlucky now, and when you need money, you are still looking for repayment, and the contract is written in white and black that the real estate mortgage will be repaid in installments, but everyone will not mainly go to the bottom of the contract There is a line of small print, "the final interpretation right belongs to the bank".

Now that there is an ancient tomb on the construction site, and the project is postponed indefinitely, the bank naturally has the right to repay the loan in advance.

Chen Xiu naturally can't control how the developer lives or dies.

When he, Zhang Lao, and Chai Lao arrived at the excavation site of the Han tomb, hundreds of archaeologists had already made the cemetery into a "Hui" shape and excavated it layer by layer.

A group of people followed Tian Yinong to the entrance of the Han Tomb at the bottom, only to see that there is a big stone door at the entrance of the tomb, through the big stone gate is a long corridor of about five meters, the two sides of the corridor are covered with blue bricks and stone slabs, and there are carvings, carving dragons and painting phoenixes on the stone slabs, which are lifelike.

Passing through the space of the corridor and a large side room, there is also a burial pit on both sides of the side room, which is the remains of many horses, cows, sheep, and dogs, and several archaeologists are cleaning up.

"Have you found the bones of the living who were buried?" Chai Hongquan asked.

"Not yet. ”

Chai Hongquan nodded, but he deliberately assessed Chen Xiu, and deliberately asked, "Xiao Chen, what does it mean that there are no living people buried bones?"

"After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came to power, he fought with the Huns for many years, and in order to enrich the treasury and enrich the military resources, he ordered that the burial of the living was prohibited. If there are a few living people buried in this tomb, it should be not far from the era after the Han Dynasty.

If there is no at all, it is likely to be a princely cemetery even later, or even after the Eastern Han Dynasty. ”

Chai Hongquan nodded with satisfaction, but Tian Yinong smiled and said, "There may be another possibility!"

"What is possible?"

Chen Xiu really couldn't imagine that there was that possibility.

You must know that because the things that accompany the burial of the Han tomb are too luxurious, Cao Cao's favorite place to raise troops is to steal and dig the Han tomb to replenish military funds. ”

Chen Xiu shook his head and said: "According to the literature, Cao Cao did steal and dig up the Han tomb. However, even if this Han tomb was excavated by his subordinate Captain Mojin, they would not steal the bones, and their fundamental cemetery still went for the gold, silver, jade, and bronze inside.

And judging from the fact that so much horseshoe gold has been unearthed, there should be no tomb thieves who have entered. In the past, when people robbed tombs, they liked gold and silver very much. ”

Chai Hongquan nodded with satisfaction and said to Tian Yinong: "Xiao Chen's theoretical knowledge is still very solid, you can't fool him!"

Passing through the side room is a long corridor of numbers, the carving in it is more fine, Chen Xiu is amazed when he saw it, when he used to look at some tomb robbers, he saw that the text described the construction of a palace more than ten meters deep underground is not much intuitive.

At this time, when you see the real thing, you can know how much engineering is needed, especially when the ancient production tools are not developed. Such an underground palace is completely built by manpower, and I don't know how much people's power needs to be consumed.

It is no wonder that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered the bad practice of prohibiting thick burials.

Passing through the corridor is a larger space, looking at the size of a basketball court, on both sides are many burial clay pots, many archaeologists are cleaning up, in the middle is a stone museum, and there is a small door on both sides of the master bedroom, which leads to the east and west sides.

"What have been unearthed in these clay pots?" Chai Hongquan didn't go to see the stone pavilion first, but was more concerned about those clay pots.

"Most of them were grain, bacon, and seeds, and a few jars of wine, but it had lost its taste because of the passage of time. Tian Yinong said.

Chen Xiu was suddenly attracted by a pottery stove like a stove, and asked in surprise, "What is this?"

Chai Lao and a few people looked over, and Zhang Lao smiled and said: "Silly boy, there are people you don't understand, it's hot pot." ”

"Hot pot! There was a hot pot in the Han Dynasty?"

"Of course. Barbecue grills and uneaten skewers have also been found in the tomb of the king of Nanyue. Tian Yinong said with a smile: "Although modern technology is changing with each passing day, although archaeological discoveries, the things eaten have not changed much, except for adding more new ingredients!"

Zhang Lao also added: "Stir-frying was invented in the two Song Dynasty, because a large amount of oil can be extracted from plants and the appearance of the iron pot.

Before that, in fact, our Han nationality was more about hot pot, barbecue and raw food!"

"Raw food!" This was a big surprise to Chen Xiu.

"What's so strange about that! People in the island countries don't like to eat sashimi now, and it's even become a world delicacy. That's because they were influenced by our eating habits during the Tang Dynasty. ”

", then they sell it so expensive! And they don't seem to pay us the royalties!"

The crowd was amused by him and laughed.

"Chai Shi, Zhang Lao, that is the unearthed epitaph, but most of the words on the stele are not clear. Tian Yinong pointed to a tombstone next to the sarcophagus and said.

Everyone went over together, Tian Yinong helped the two old men with flashlights on the side, and Chen Xiu also came over, only to see that none of the ten words on it could be seen clearly, and the remaining word had to be guessed.

He lost interest all of a sudden, and simply observed around the sarcophagus, and several times wanted to open the perspective to see the owner inside the sarcophagus.

However, when he remembered that it might be a corpse almost two thousand years ago, and it was likely to have turned into a skeleton, he shivered and thought, "Forget it, don't use this thing to scare yourself!"

Chai and Zhang both shook their heads, and Zhang Lao said: "I can't see clearly, I can only wait for the sarcophagus to be opened and look at the jade seal accompanying the burial to guess the owner of the tomb." ”

Chai Hongquan even asked, "When will the coffin be opened?"

"Now a lot of cultural relics have not been cleaned out, and I am worried about the problem of oxidation after the opening of the museum, only after most of the things are cleaned up, can the sarcophagus be sealed, and the X-ray equipment can be brought in to open the coffin......

"Professor Tian, can you come and see what this is?"

While Tian Yinong was talking, Chen Xiu, who was squatting and looking at the bottom of the sarcophagus, suddenly shouted loudly.

Chai, Zhang, and Tian ran over and squatted down curiously at the same time, Tian Yinong even turned on a flashlight, and there was a line of text in the sarcophagus pointed by Chen Xiu between the three of them, but none of the three of them knew the text on it.
