"Yuan blue and white porcelain jar? Is it the one from Guiguzi going down the mountain?"

After Director Guo heard Zhuang Rui's words, his eyes behind the glasses suddenly widened, Zhuang Rui's words were too lethal, so that Director Guo didn't have the heart to bargain for a while. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

You must know that the Palace Museum, which has the largest number of national collections and the most complete first-class cultural relics of various dynasties, lacks the blue and white porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty.

Especially in the past two years when Yuan blue and white flowers shined, the Palace Museum without Yuan blue and white seems to be less confident, after all, Zhuang Rui is such a private museum, there are several pieces of Yuan blue and white porcelain, which makes the Palace Museum, which has always been advertised as the boss of domestic museums, embarrassed?

But if they want to buy from abroad, they can't come up with so much money, so they have to borrow Yuan Qinghua from Zhuang Rui's private museum, which is a shameless thing for the leaders of the museum and the Cultural Relics Bureau.

"That's right, it's that Yuan blue and white porcelain......"

Zhuang Rui couldn't help but be startled when he saw the always gentle and elegant Director Guo, who actually showed a hungry wolf-like expression, and then said: "Director Guo, you can hear clearly, I mean that if you win me, I will donate the porcelain to the country......"

Zhuang Rui is afraid that this old man will repay the debt, and when the time comes, regardless of whether he wins or loses, he will lend a few objects to the Dingguang Museum, and then blackmail his Guiguzi Xiashan porcelain jar away.

"Hear clearly, hear clearly, young people, why are you so wordy......"

Compared with Director Liu, who was sitting on the side, Director Guo looked more like a businessman than a bureaucrat at the moment, and where did he look like a deputy ministerial-level official with a grin?

"Hey, hey, I said, you've all heard it, you all give a witness, if Xiaozhuang wins, I will let him select three artifacts from the tomb and display them in his museum for three months.

However, if Xiaozhuang loses, his blue and white porcelain jar of Guiguzi in the Yuan Dynasty will be donated to the country, and 20 million RMB will be donated to the Palace Museum free of charge for the repair and conservation of cultural relics.

By the way, no matter whether you win or lose, Xiaozhuang's 20 million will be donated...... "Director Guo is an old man, and he doesn't want to eat at all, and finally added a sentence.

It seemed that he was afraid that Zhuang Rui would regret it, and after the two finalized the relevant matters, Director Guo immediately shouted loudly, and some experts who were originally discussing the burial situation in a low voice all turned their heads to look over.

Director Guo was the vice dean of archaeology at Beijing University before he took up his public office, and he was very familiar with Professor Meng.

According to Professor Meng's analysis, it is more likely that the owner of this tomb is Ogedai or Kublai Khan, because when they were in power, it was the time when Mongolia was at its strongest, and the time to build such a large-scale mausoleum was more mature.

Moreover, from the analysis of various historical materials, the possibility of Genghis Khan's Mausoleum in Outer Mongolia is greater, although it has not been determined, but this is also the consensus of Mongolian history research experts in China.

Now these experts in the tent, even if they agree that this tomb is from the early Yuan Dynasty, they mostly have the same opinion as Professor Meng, and no one is optimistic that this is the tomb of Genghis Khan.

Director Guo is more than ten years younger than Professor Meng, and he also respects Professor Meng very much, and said with a smile at the moment: "Teacher Meng, I can't help it, the country is poor, a piece of Yuan blue and white porcelain costs hundreds of millions, we can't afford this money, so we can only fight local tyrants......"

This gamble with Zhuang Rui, no matter whether he wins or loses, Director Guo will not suffer, and if he wins, it goes without saying that he can help the National Museum fill the gap in the lack of cultural relics in the Yuan Qinghua collection.

Even if he loses, it's nothing, it's just a temporary loan of three cultural relics, not to mention that Zhuang Rui's 20 million still has to be paid, so Director Guo doesn't need to ask the leaders of the Ministry of Culture for instructions at all, and he will make a decision on this matter by himself.

Zhuang Rui saw Director Guo's triumphant boy, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Director Guo, I don't know who wins and who loses, just don't regret it then......"

The reason why Zhuang Rui added a donation of 20 million at the end is mainly because he doesn't want to take advantage of the country, and the deeper the background, the better it is to be more careful.

The 20 million spent is regarded as the cost of renting the heirloom jade seal, although it may not be possible to earn back 20 million in three months, but the heirloom jade seal appears in the Dingguang Museum, this sensational effect is definitely 20 million can not be bought.

"No regrets, certainly no regrets......"

Director Guo and Zhuang Rui each thought about the idea in their hearts, and they both showed smiles on their faces, but it is estimated that it will not be long before the bright smile on Director Guo's face will turn into a bitter smile.

This was supposed to be a meeting to discuss the development of the tomb, but in the end, it ended with a bet between Zhuang Rui and Director Guo, and the people in the tent were all laughing and laughing, and the old and the young didn't take this serious work meeting seriously, right?

However, Director Guo is not for personal gain, and Zhuang Rui's careful thinking can be understood by everyone, and everyone regards it as a good story.

After the meeting, Zhuang Rui immediately entered the underground mausoleum.

Now the entire working group is divided into two shifts, each shift of 12 hours to clean up below, as the deputy commander of the archaeological operation, Zhuang Rui often has to stay in the mausoleum for fifteen or sixteen hours.

The cleaning of the underground tomb was arranged by Zhuang Rui, and what will be opened today is the tomb full of Western Xia burial goods, because there is a lot of porcelain in it, it needs to be carefully organized, Zhuang Rui personally led people to open the tomb.

"The camera zooms in closer, and the crockpot is, yes, it's the wine ......."

"Mr. Meng, the shape of these utensils is rare in China......

"It's not strange, this should be the owner of the tomb looted from the Western Xia, Lao Zhao, you are an expert in the study of Western Xia culture, see if there are any valuable written records when the time comes?"

The tomb of thirty or forty square meters is full of all kinds of ceramics and gold and silver wares, and the shape of the Tangut ware has some Western Regions colors, which can be seen at a glance by experts on the ground.

"These should be objects that only the nobles or the royal family of Western Xia can have, Xiaozhuang, you must ...... You must be careful, and be careful, anything that looks like a text must be properly protected......"

The shape of these cultural relics is very unique, and the teacher Zhao who studied the Western Xia culture has almost put his eyes on the monitor in the tent at this moment, almost communicating with Zhuang Rui in the underground mausoleum in a roaring way.

In the eyes of these archaeologists, no matter how precious the cultural relics are, they are not as important as the written records, because those records can make the truth that has been lost in the long river of history reappear in front of people's eyes.

There was a lot of discussion above, but the mausoleum was very busy, and more than a dozen students urgently transferred by Beijing University, wearing oxygen suits and holding buckets of special potions in their hands, were painting on the colored ceramic halls.

Apply this special potion and place these artifacts in the tomb for thousands of years so that they will not change color due to exposure to outdoor oxygen.

In addition, some wood and bronze gold, silver and iron ware, is evenly smeared with a layer of underground soil, this is only a temporary protection method, after taking out, there are still many protection processes to do, otherwise these wooden utensils, I am afraid that ten ** will be damaged.

This is not alarmist, many archaeologists have experienced it firsthand, and this is what they have learned from many lessons.

In some tombs from thousands of years ago, the vessels that were intact and magnificently colored when they first entered suddenly became old and decayed in just a few minutes, and many wooden products and silk objects were even directly turned into ashes.

The feeling of a thousand years in an instant, as if history is evolving in front of us, after the loss of many precious cultural relics, archaeologists have also found the reason, and based on this made some embalming materials.

Each item is numbered and sent to the cleaned burial chamber, where it is sorted and sealed and sent to the ground.

Due to the particularity of the geographical environment of the mausoleum, the manpower and material resources used in this excavation are also unprecedented, and the staff of the archaeologists in various provinces in China alone have summoned hundreds of people, in addition to more than 200 students from the archaeology departments of major universities.

Although this burial chamber containing the Western Xia burial goods is not the largest, there are tens of thousands of precious cultural relics inside, and most of the cultural relics have been protected after more than a week of cleaning work.

Of course, in the process, there are also some artifacts that come into contact with oxygen outside and are partially damaged.

The excavation of Western Xia cultural relics also made the expert group's speculation about the identity of the tomb owner more inclined to Ogedai and Kublai Khan.

The reason is very simple, Genghis Khan died during the expedition to Western Xia, that is, he did not defeat Western Xia, so naturally these should not appear in his tomb, which should be objects in the Western Xia royal family.

"Xiaozhuang, how about it? I am willing to lose the bet, when will I hand over the yuan blue and white flowers? I will hold a donation ceremony for you at that time......

Director Guo hasn't caught Zhuang Rui in the past few days, and after seeing Zhuang Rui coming out of the lake just now, he hurriedly grabbed him with a smug look.
