It's not a matter of a tiger chasing an ass, and it's really not authentic to wake up domestic experts at two o'clock in the middle of the night, so you have to wait until about seven o'clock in the morning, right, when the expert comrades should also get up.

I can't stop the crazy smuggling of cultural relics in China, but since the self-theft of the guards on the side of the Forbidden City has been encountered, then we have to take care of it!

Not only from the heart, but also by the way, to raise the value of his relatives: if only he could help Nong Bosheng rush to the deputy ministerial level when he leaves.

Comrade Lao Nong, who has long had no hope for the administrative level in this place, who has always disliked being an official, but he can work hard to be an academician of the two academies, which is a proper deputy ministerial level!

The old farmer is an honest man and has a profound academic knowledge, although in China, there are many people who are more experienced than him in the study of domestic archaeology and cultural relics, but for the research of foreign archaeology.

Hehe!

There is no problem for the agricultural curator to enter the top three, and in recent years, his status has increased greatly, and it is not too much to blow the first place.

Last time, I dug the tombs of the Xiongnu kings in Mongolia, and this year I will go to Russia and Eastern Europe to participate in two joint archaeological projects.

There are a lot of places allocated to the director of the agricultural curator and the director of the agricultural university, and there are foreign foundations to contribute, and there is no need for domestic public funds.

A significant rise in international status?

Zhang Nan spent a little money and exerted some influence again.

This will be "Beijing People in New York" has not been released in China yet, go to Europe to participate in joint archaeology, or can live in high-end hotels, subsidized kinds, this is a real advantage and difference, gilded, and the quota is a big favor!

Even if it is released, it will still be popular to go to Europe and North America before the mid-90s without spending money, not to mention the investigation with its own gilding function.

The big guys themselves may not look down on such an opportunity, but the big guys also have children, and the opportunity to go out to gild is not comparable to participating in a large-scale archaeological project in China.

In these years, others are generally invited to come to China for joint investigation, and there are very few people who invite themselves to go out, and every time is precious!

Not to mention that in addition to the war-torn Middle East and Spain, which has a bad relationship, if you want to go anywhere else in the world to join archaeology, Zhang Nan can help Nong Bosheng do it.

The old farmer is really good, throw some money, and try to make Nong Bosheng an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences!

When the elders were about a few years old, Zhang Nan saw a welfare introduction for retired deputy senior officials: equipped with full-time drivers, guards and staff, and part-time medical personnel with poor health (over 80 years old);

Enjoy four domestic trips and recuperation times a year, two weeks each time, and the number of family members and children is limited to five people. Transportation: There are two people in the first class or business class on the plane, two soft sleepers on the train, and one quasi-soft sleeper for those with poor health and limited mobility.

Local transportation: 2 sedans or a minivan and a sedan. Accommodation in a four-star or five-star hotel, renting a senior suite, meals during the stay, for myself and my family, the standard per day is 300 yuan, and the accompanying staff is 200 yuan, which is reimbursed.

In addition to the above benefits, the annual allowance for each deputy senior official (excluding pension, rank treatment expenses) is 930,000 yuan!

I don't know if there is a difference in this standard, but once the old farmer is pushed to that position, the treatment is definitely not bad, and it can be regarded as worthy of his help to himself.

It's not just that I emptied the warehouse of the Yongcheng Exhibition Hall in compliance with the regulations and laws, but that thing is that if I don't move, I will be emptied by others in a few years.

The most important thing is that his family is a relative, and the old farmer's help to Zhang Nan in the study of cultural relics is selfless, just like that time, he actually directly sent a copy of his research manuscript on gold inscriptions and bronzes to Zhang Nan.

Zhang Nan is not a good person, but he is affectionate to his own people, even if others don't say it, he has to push others on his side.

There are not many things that can't be done if you have money, connections, and ability!

It is not wrong to ask Nong Bosheng for questions about domestic cultural relics, but this will not be the right time, so let's talk about it at night, and some of the hundreds of boxes in front of me will look at it slowly.

Inside the second, open box is a bronze statue about 35 centimeters high, seemingly intact, with a grotesque-looking, large, curved goat head with two horns.

The structure of the human body is reasonable, but the sheep's head will feel a little evil after a few more glances, and it does not look like some kind of good thing: the bronze statue has a chest and a short skirt around the waist, and the two feet separated in the left front and right back show that this is an ancient Egyptian thing.

Zhang Nan glanced at it a few times, but he didn't even get started.

Jerry Gooden, who was on the side, knew that the boss was basically not interested in ancient Egyptian artifacts, and he didn't know much about it, so he stepped forward and picked up the statue to take a closer look.

"Boss, this is a statue of the god Kunum, the ancient Egyptian god of creation, who used the mud of the Nile River to shape humans and all living things on potters' wheels.

He was also supposed to be the local chief deity of the area of the First Waterfall near Elephanta Island in Upper Egypt, the god of the water of the Nile, and the protector of the potters.

Look at this style..."

Jerry paused, then added, "It could be something from the New Dynasty period." ”

Generally speaking, the objects from about 1567 BC to 1085 BC are roughly equivalent to the Shang Dynasty in China.

The bronze statue is exquisitely crafted and not small, so it is no problem to sell for tens of thousands of dollars in the American auction market.

But Zhang Nan doesn't like it, this thing is the life of a heap warehouse for the time being, not the warehouse in the manor - this bronze statue always makes people feel eerie, and besides, in the Western world, the ram represents evil, and it is not appropriate to give it away.

"Put it there first, and then there will be a place for it in the museum that will be built in the future. If there is no place, it will be out of the auction house in ten or twenty years. ”

This is Zhang Nan's preparation, there are too many such things that are not up or down, and many of them will have to be sold in batches in the future, otherwise they can only pile up dust, which is a pure waste.

Zhang Nan glanced at the third box and didn't bother to look at it again - a set of ancient Egyptian funeral urns made of calcite, ordinary people will have their hairs standing on end when they look at it!

Zhang Nan knew what the carving of the head lid on the urn meant without Jerry opening his mouth, which was the head image of the four sons of the ancient Egyptian god Horus: the human head urn kept the mummy's liver, the baboon's head kept the lungs, the jackal's head kept the stomach, and the eagle's head kept the intestines.

As for that Horus, the god of kingship and war in ancient Egyptian mythology, he was incarnated as an eagle.

The four urns Zhang Nan had a headache when he saw it, except for the barbarians these days, who the hell would collect the coffins of the dead!

"Thomas, have these four bottles disposed of and count them as unaccounted expenses for the combined forces. ”

Zhang Nan didn't want to put this kind of thing in the museum he built: funeral goods are okay, coffins are basically not discussed, even coffins of the level of Mawangdui are not wanted.

I have been a Tufuzi in my previous life, and I have become an occupational disease in the next life: only people with bad brains will be interested in someone else's coffin version!

Prying boxes is a lot of fun, at least more exciting than scratching a lottery ticket, because there are prizes in it.

But as the old saying goes, life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, and there are more than a dozen large and small boxes here, including broken statues of ancient Egypt, clay tablets carved with cuneiform characters in the Middle East, and Buddha statues in South Asia...

I even found a mummy coffin from a big box, and there are really a lot of Americans who like coffin boards!

These things are left to Jerry Goodencowan to study and sort slowly, and as for the mummified coffin, it will be loaded into the truck bed and shipped away as soon as everything is finished.

The company has a messy and unsightly place, and this coffin will be put aside for a while to see if there are any sequelae of the looting of the warehouse of the smuggler of cultural relics.

If not, several sets of funeral urns will be sold together and counted as funds for the combined forces.

Small money, Zhang Nan doesn't want it.

……

It takes time to see things, and finally something normal came out: a few pieces of medieval Eastern European-style silver wine utensils Zhang Nan played with and admired for an hour, and the shapes were particularly interesting, all of which were vivid animal shapes.

Ask the attaché to inform the manor that he will go back later today, and at the same time inform the airport restaurant next door to prepare more working meals tonight, and pack them to the museum when the time comes.

At six o'clock in the evening, the food truck arrived, and the simplest but delicious American steak set was placed in disposable plastic lunch boxes - the airport was not notified that the boss was here, and there was no rice in the food delivered, which made Zhang Nan slightly unhappy.

Eating steak with black pepper sauce and not eating some rice at the end makes me feel a little sick to my stomach!

After eating, I pried open a box, but the first wooden box was divided into many compartments, and inside it was actually a pile of clay pots that looked like ancient Egypt.

It looked like an ordinary container of water and grain, with almost no work on it, and I really didn't understand what profit those smugglers could make by smuggling these things.

After priing a few more, I didn't find any items of great value, and seeing that the time was about the same, I asked Alyosha who followed me to turn out the mobile phone number of the agricultural curator of the Yongcheng Museum.

Now they are genuine department-level cadres, and the eldest brother is allocated.

As a result, the shutdown.

Well, the standby time of Big Brother in these days and months is insanely short, and it will not be time to go to work yet, and few people will turn it on.

Changed people's home phones, and sure enough, they were there.

"Brother-in-law, I, Zhang Nan, didn't wake you up, did I?"

As soon as Zhang Nan finished speaking, he heard Nong Bosheng on the other end of the phone say with a smile: "It's been more than half an hour, and I'm going to get up early and go to bed early at my age."

By the way, I said Anan, will this still be abroad or will he return to China?"

In these years, there is no caller ID on the phone.

"I'm still in New York, and I want to ask you for a favor on this trip. ”

"If you have something to say, you're welcome!"

Nong Bosheng smiled and scolded on the other end of the phone, they are all their own people, and they can't be polite.

……

Here Zhang Nan organized the language and said: "That's the case, I want to ask, brother-in-law, what else is there for the cultural relics belonging to the Palace Museum, except for the Forbidden City itself?"

I'm talking about the ones that make the registers. ”

As soon as he heard this, Nong Bosheng, who was in his new home in Yongcheng, knew that something must have happened to his brother-in-law, who was beating around the bush, and it was related to the Palace Museum.

Without thinking too much, he said: "In addition to the Forbidden City itself, there are many outside, and the overall situation can be divided into two situations. ”

"Which two?"

"The first is to borrow exhibitions, almost every year the Forbidden City will lend some cultural relics to museums all over the country, and even exhibit abroad, usually to large museums.

Just like me, in the second half of the year, the new Yongcheng Museum will be officially opened on the National Day, and I have asked the Forbidden City to say hello before, and they will lend nearly 200 cultural relics to our short-term exhibition for two months, which is considered to be a welcome.

Anan, if you have time, come back and give me this cheer. ”

Zhang Nan listened carefully, and said with a smile when he heard the end: "It depends on the situation, if I can't come, my sister will definitely go, and the money for building the museum was donated by her, which is justified." ”

"Come as far as you can, it doesn't matter if you don't stand on stage or not, I'll accompany you to visit. ”

"Say it again, say it again.

Brother-in-law, I will definitely check carefully when the borrowed cultural relics are returned, right?"

"Of course, there are strict handover procedures and requirements for entry and exit, and there is absolutely no room for error. If there is a lack of damage or damage, it will be troublesome......"

"And what's the second scenario?" Zhang Nan continued to ask.

"Transfer.

The Palace Museum has transferred a lot of cultural relics in the past few decades, some of which are transferred without going out, and some can be understood as secondments, and the ownership is still the Forbidden City.

For example, in the White Horse Temple and the Luoyang Museum in Luoyang, there are about 2,000 cultural relics that theoretically belong to the Palace Museum.

However, they have been seconded for more than 20 years, and they are purely meat buns and dogs, and they have not been borrowed. ”

Speaking of the last sentence, Zhang Nan could hear a little sarcasm in Nong Bosheng's tone.

"I said, it's reasonable to go to the Luoyang Museum for this Forbidden City, how can you go to the White Horse Temple?"

"Reception of the big guys.

I remember that it was the beginning of 1973, and it was said that it was because Siha Nuk from Cambodia was going to visit Nakyang, Cambodia is a country that believes in Buddhism, and Siha Nuuk himself is a Buddhist believer, so if he goes to Nakyang, he will naturally go to White Horse Temple.

Do you know Hakubaji Temple?... The first temple after Buddhism was introduced into China, the White Horse Temple 20 years ago has undergone several repairs after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the appearance is not magnificent, but it is simple and quiet.

But the Buddha statue inside...

Hehe!

During the special period, all the mud and stones were smashed to pieces, and the wood was burned to the ground.

Later, the local cultural system held a 'study class' in the White Horse Temple, and everyone lived in the main hall, and the most important hall was clean and refreshing.

You said that there is not a single Buddha statue in this temple, that is, there is no emperor in the Jinluan Palace, where to kowtow and worship?

Interesting, if the head of state goes to the White Horse Temple, he will make the first stop in the main hall!

I don't think I can even do it.

Later, the three Buddhas and the eighteen Arhats in the Great Buddha Hall of the Forbidden City, as well as more than 2,000 other cultural relics, were urgently transferred to the Luoyang White Horse Temple, among which the Qing Dynasty palace furniture was a lot, otherwise people could only sit on a hard bench.

The management of the temple changed more than ten years ago, and now I want to go back or not.

By the way, the funny thing is that it's been 20 years, and people haven't been to the White Horse Temple until now, and I don't know if they will go once in this life. ”

This Zhang Nan was a little speechless when he heard it, this is probably the "Wangfu Stone" and "Lifetime" series in the cultural relics world.

Fine, nothing wrong.

Speechless is speechless, and there are still some things to ask.

"Are there any other cultural relics, such as important cultural relics with the word 'therefore' in the Forbidden City. ”

"Many!

After the Xinhai Revolution, the government at that time basically moved the cultural relics of the Rehe Palace and the Shenyang Forbidden City to the Imperial Palace in Beijing, and all the cultural relics were compiled into the 'old name'.

In the last two or three decades, in order to enrich local museums, the national cultural management department successively allocated almost 100,000 cultural relics from the Palace Museum to local museums.

For example, many cultural relics such as returning some cultural relics that originally belonged to Chengde Summer Resort and Outer Eight Temples, plus some additional cultural relics, were given to Chengde in two times in the 70s, and more than 5,000 sets were given..."

Yes, Zhang Nan will already know where this silver mandala city came from: eight or nine are not far from ten, and there are eight temples outside!

Last year's Kaifeng cultural relics theft case was very awesome, in fact, the theft case in the eight temples outside Chengde was bigger and there were more stolen cultural relics!

The number of stolen cultural relics of the first and second grades alone exceeds that of the opening and sealing time, but people are slowly stealing and selling, and it can take more than ten years before and after stealing.

Many people in the antique and cultural relics circle know about the Outer Eight Temples, but in the outside world, the popularity of this case cannot be compared with the opening and sealing of the case: people are guarding and stealing, and the thieves are the leaders in charge of the cultural relics of the Outer Eight Temples!

What an irony!
