Not long after Shen Tiejun returned home, stepping on the dazzling sun, Deng Bin followed Professor Lu into the courtyard, followed by two old men, a black-framed glasses as thick as the bottom of a beer bottle, and each of them also brought a student behind him, wearing a long shirt with a dirty wash, and he was stunned after entering the hall.

Shen Tiejun, who left early, was watching the video and continued to be a humanoid retrieval engine, Deng Bin came more than once, so Shen Damei and Wang Le both knew him, and this time he learned that it was several leaders of the school, and Wang Le directly led people into the hall, and when he saw him stand up, the job was completed.

"Tie Jun, this is Professor Qu and Professor Zhai from our Institute of Archaeology~"

Professor Lu had been to Shen Tiejun's house, and he was still drinking a glass of water in the house after getting off the plane, so when he saw him at home, he was the first to open his mouth, and after introducing the two professors, he pointed his finger at the young man behind the two and said, "That's the graduate student they brought." ”

"Professor Qu, Professor Zhai, welcome. ”

Shen Tiejun stood up and cleaned up and turned off the TV, Deng Bin next to him had already followed out of the door, he was the most familiar among several people, and when he got to the kitchen, he took the teapot in Wang Le's hand, and went back to the hall, poured water for a few people in the cup that Shen Tiejun had turned over, and then listened to Professor Lu speak: "Tiejun is not an outsider, Professor Qu, if you have something to say, just say it." ”

The old man known as Professor Qu had a yellow complexion, his mouth showed two big gold teeth, and he was the image of the landlord and the old wealth in previous years, looking at the things in the house, his eyes were constantly looking, and he sighed in his heart: "Okay, Tie Jun, I heard that you have news of a shipwreck in the South China Sea?"

"Sort of, it's also the information they sent, that's it. ”

Shen Tiejun turned around and took the brochure from the TV, since Old Man Li asked someone, it means that more than one person has seen it, the people here are not those on the street, but the experts in the big courtyard: "In terms of quantity alone, either there is a kiln site that has been stolen and excavated, or it can only be a shipwreck in the South China Sea, and now it is not necessarily in our waters, after all, as the ancient maritime Silk Road, when foreign merchants come, they will bring some porcelain or tea back, China." ”

"Yes, it's China. ”

Professor Qu stroked the exquisite prints on the booklet, quickly lifted one after another, stared at the porcelain on it through the cloudy lenses with clear eyes, and said quickly: "I didn't expect the printing level of foreign countries to be so high, except for a little texture, just like the real thing, this is obviously the characteristics of blue and white in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, but in terms of color alone, it is not a fine product——"

"After all, it is export porcelain, which is not as good as fine products, and it is much better than civilian porcelain of the same era. ”

Professor Zhai stood next to him and also stared at the booklet in Professor Qu's hand, and finally raised his head to look at Shen Tiejun, and said, "It's mainly such a large amount, I just don't know if this ship was made out in our South China Sea——"

"Professor Qu, Professor Zhai, I originally planned to let people take a look, and by the way, I took some pictures and came back for collection, but I didn't expect that people might have salvaged them from our waters, of course, not necessarily, such a long distance on the Maritime Silk Road is time, how many ships have been sunk in more than a thousand years, and where they have been sunk, these studies are laborious. ”

Shen Tiejun looked at the two professors and still cherished the words like gold, and didn't even mention a word, he didn't bother to continue to play dumb riddles with people, and now that the republic has been reopened, exchanges with other countries are still in the cautious tentative stage, and suddenly broke the news that foreigners towed our shipwreck away - after all, this is to surprise friends, I am afraid that the faces of some people in China who have excess self-esteem will also be very ugly.

Shen Tiejun is not afraid of things, but it doesn't mean that he likes to find trouble for himself, because the fierce confrontation is still going on, he has been in the office recently, and he can't wait for others to see it: "The most important thing now is to determine where the things in this auction come from, but if you want to get in touch with this information, you must send someone, not a private person, but in the name of the country, not to mention that our country doesn't seem to have a major in underwater archaeology, or even a law related to marine shipwrecks——"

Shen Tiejun didn't know that as he said this, the powerful butterfly effect was highlighted again, and in the time and space of his previous life, this kind of cultural relics that were sunken out of the water would not attract the attention of the Republic until the end of 1984.

It was a shipwreck carrying millions of pieces of Qing Dynasty porcelain, which was salvaged by professional treasure hunters abroad, and the frenzied treasure thieves smashed all the seven or eight hundred thousand pieces of porcelain on board and threw them back into the sea in order to maximize profits.

Only 100,000 pieces of fine works were selected for auction, and in the auction that lasted for half a year, the treasure thieves made a profit of up to 20 million US dollars, and their destruction of such a large number of cultural relics shook the entire republic.

Of course, this move of the treasure thieves also promoted the introduction of relevant laws in the Republic and the active establishment of underwater archaeological research centers, but it has been almost ten years since the first shipwreck was stolen.

Shen Tiejun's words made Professor Qu and Professor Zhai silent, the two of them were able to come here, and they also received a notice from their friends, as archaeologists, what the two of them thought of before was that they were excavating the shipwreck of the Maritime Silk Road, otherwise it would not be enough to unearth so many complete and large-scale cultural relics, this field is blank, as Shen Tiejun said, the country does not even have laws in this regard!

Professor Zhai glanced at Shen Tiejun, and his face was embarrassed: "That, I heard that you-"

"I can personally fund the archaeological institute to send someone to confirm it locally, but you have to run the relevant procedures yourself. ”

Before Shen Tiejun's words fell, Professor Zhai was already happy: "Then, that's good, the procedures are fine-"

"Professor Zhai, my friend was originally going to go over this time, and I will have to trouble you to confirm some auction items at that time. ”

Shen Tiejun is naturally not easy to talk to, the money can be paid, and even sponsored, but you have to do a good job, otherwise you have to buy back a lot of things, and he doesn't plan to open a restaurant, a quantity of thousands of pieces, I'm afraid that the cost of shipping back is more than the money taken off.

Of course, Shen Tiejun thought about more than that, seeing that the two professors were about to speak with joy on their faces, he stretched out his hand and said: "I still have an idea, if we cooperate well, I will consider buying one or two ships and registering a company——"

Professor Zhai's face changed: "You-you want to be a treasure thief?"

"You're saying something nasty, I'm calling them professional treasure hunters. ”

Shen Tiejun picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip of tea, sighed and said, "People can come to our door to do this, so why can't we go to people's door to fish?"

"Wouldn't that cause people to protest?"

Zhao Dong, who was behind Professor Qu, opened his mouth, and found that several people looked over, and helped the black-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, he was shocked when he came, he never thought that this legendary doctoral student, dressed more like friends than those friends, at this time, feeling the attention of everyone, he said solemnly: "We can't let people blame, this will cause a bad impact in the world, and it will damage the image of our country——"

Shen Tiejun raised his eyebrows, pinched the coffee cup in his hand and looked inquiring: "This classmate, what do you think the image of our country is like in the eyes of ordinary people in foreign countries?"

Zhao Dong was a little dumbfounded, as a member who had never been abroad, the first time he saw his friends or was admitted to graduate school, he usually saw them on the street around the observation, although the inferiority complex in his heart made him unable to look at these people levelly, but the curiosity in his heart was driving him to explore the mysterious friends, and at this time he heard that he wanted to imagine his friends' impressions of China, which was beyond his imagination.

Zhao Dong's face became more and more red when he was stunned, Shen Tiejun shook his head and said: "Look, you don't know what the image is, so you subconsciously said this sentence, this answer is very easy to imagine, and the counterexample can make sense, before Nixon's visit to China, how did we promote the image of the bald eagle?

"Iron Army!"

Professor Lu's face changed slightly, he didn't expect Shen Tiejun's words to be so intense, and he quickly said, "After all, it's changed now-"

"This is how we look in the eyes of foreigners. ”

Shen Tiejun knew that his words were too intense, and what Zhao Dong couldn't even imagine out of thin air was the idea of the vast majority of college students now, otherwise there would be no need to write in the student code that it is forbidden to watch foreigners: "The West's perception of us began in "The Travels of Marco Polo", when the entire Western royal power was in decline, material scarcity, poverty and backwardness, and when I came to China, what I saw was not the prosperity of the Tang and Song dynasties, but the period of the Mengyuan Empire, even so, with its excellent imagination, it created a "real utopia" The image stands out for wealth and monarchy -

Of course, there are two sides to everything, and as Western society entered the Enlightenment, Montedeus believed that the Manchus were autocratic, Rousseau believed that the Han people lacked the spirit of struggle, and Defoe simply portrayed us as poor, treacherous, ignorant, and extremely self-righteous; these functions were not to reveal the shortcomings of Western culture, but to confirm the perfection and superiority of Western culture. ”

Zhao Dong blinked, the red on his face disappeared, and he said, "You are the iron army who did "Style" and "Bright Sword"?"

"The position where the ass sits determines the height you see, and this is why the sages said that they are not in their position. ”

Shen Tiejun doesn't know if he really doesn't know this, or if he is using these two poems to disgust the image he criticizes from the perspective of a foreigner: "Protest, there must be one, the world of bald eagles is a world dominated by procedural justice, and there will even be some things that oppose for the sake of opposition, even if the federal government shuts down because of this incident, it is also a manifestation of freedom-

However, we don't need it, we are free centralism, and it is our advantage to concentrate manpower to do great things, just in terms of the current country's waste to be revived, this is the most needed advantage at present, the opinion of others is not important, the important thing is the opinion of the person who can decide your fate. Professor Qu and Professor Zhai are still focusing on going through the procedures as soon as possible, because they still have to apply for routes. ”

Because he agreed to Wang Le to let him take a private jet, Shen Tiejun could only ask people to apply for the route to Hong Kong Island first, and then transfer from there to London, as for how this group of people went to the Netherlands, that was Chu Dazhao's business.

Shen Tiejun's eviction order was spoken, and Professor Qu and Professor Zhai could only nod their heads and leave, knowing that a large number of ancient porcelain appeared in foreign auctions, and the two of them really wanted to see it with their own eyes, but the application is easy to say, and the approval is easy to say, that is, the funds are a big problem, and the current shortage of foreign exchange in the republic is serious, and now that the funds have been obtained, the purpose of this line has been achieved, and the face is smiling: "Okay, let's go back and do it as quickly as we can——"

"Jingle bell—"

A phone rang interrupted Professor Qu's words, Shen Tiejun smiled at the old man and went to the phone next to the table, took it while the bell rang, and a voice quickly came from inside: "Little senior brother, I'm in the capital, and now I'm on the phone booth next to the exit of the station, how can I get to you?"

"The most convenient thing is to take the bus-"

Shen Tiejun quickly said that the car he was going to sit in was hung up, and when he turned his head, Professor Qu and Professor Zhai stood up, and Professor Lu next to him saw him hang up the phone and said, "Okay, then we won't bother you, didn't go to work today?"

"I have something to do today, so I'm leaving early!"

Shen Tiejun's words made Professor Lu nod and said with a smile: "We also called your office to confirm that you came back to the door, remember not to leave your studies behind." ”

Sent the five people to the door, looking at the back of them leaving on bicycles, Shen Tiejun is no longer a simple graduate student, and Professor Lu can only be reminded by the side, of course, he didn't have much hope, this thing is the same as before.

Shen Tiejun didn't know the emotion in Professor Lu's heart, and he was afraid that he wouldn't recognize it if he knew, compared with the trend surging in the next few years, his words were like sneezing, standing at the door and taking a look, then he went into the kitchen freezer, pulled the bucket of ice cream and ate it.

The weather is getting warmer, and in the Rubik's Cube flight plan every month, most of the vegetables are eliminated, and the rest becomes something to cool off in summer. ”

"I can't eat this alone, I have to share it with Lin Yang. ”

Seeing the ice cream bucket in Shen Tiejun's hand, Wang Le shook his head and thanked Bumin, the first time he ate it was enjoyable, but his stomach couldn't stand it and he was also very enjoyable, and after going to the doctor, he learned that he had a bad stomach and reacted very much to cold things, which was tragic: "The rest can't be put in the freezer." ”

"Then buy some blocks next time they buy them. ”

Shen Tiejun shook his head and left the kitchen, squatting on the half pile of bricks at the door, taking advantage of the sunset to look at the busy street, because it was time to get off work, there would be a dense army of bicycles on both sides, and even the spacious road was crowded with one bus after another, I just don't know where the people came?
