Chapter 44: Major Discoveries
Zheng Xiumei's uncle tapped her with his finger and said with a smile: "Girls are outgoing, okay, okay, talk about business, Xiaoduan, you can bring the photos you took and I'll help you see them......"
Duan Kefan hurriedly handed over the prepared album, Zheng Xiumei's uncle took the beautifully bound album and couldn't help nodding secretly, and his evaluation of Duan Kefan was even higher, this young man is careful, ordinary people may take a few photos with their mobile phones and show them to him, but Duan Kefan printed and made a beautiful album, which not only looks very formal but also gives people a feeling of respect.
Zheng Xiumei's uncle took the album and looked at it carefully, and when he saw half of it, he frowned and asked Duan Kefan: "Xiao Duan, have there been any historical celebrities in your village?......
Duan Kefan scratched his head and said: "I haven't heard of historical celebrities, this village is relatively remote, there are relatively few people in the village who have read books, and no one has studied history, or I will go back and ask the old people in the village to inquire......
Zheng Xiumei's uncle shook his head and sighed, "This is difficult......
Duan Kefan was anxious when he heard it: "Isn't it an ancient building if there has been no historical celebrity?......?
Zheng Xiumei's uncle shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Of course, ancient buildings are ancient buildings, and the protection value cannot be said to be completely absent, but you must know that similar ancient buildings according to the statistics of our Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau, there are nearly 100 in your ancient city and county alone, and there may be seven or eight hundred in the province, and the protection of ancient buildings requires funds, and the province can allocate tens of millions of funds every yearβ¦β¦β
Duan Kefan sighed in his heart, Zheng Xiumei's uncle and the experts of the County Cultural Relics Bureau made the same conclusion, they both think that the protection value is not large, it seems that it is difficult to apply for the government to allocate money for protection, but he also knows that Zheng Xiumei's uncle is telling the truth, the protection of ancient buildings can not bring direct economic benefits, and it costs a lot of money, so it is no wonder that the government is unwilling to invest too much in this area, he pointed to the album in Zheng Xiumei's uncle's hand that has not yet finished reading and smiled: " If you don't take a second look, maybe you'll find valuable clues later......"
Zheng Xiumei's uncle shook his head, continued to look through the album, flipped through and suddenly "Huh", his face became solemn, picked up a magnifying glass on the coffee table on the side and looked at a photo in the album seriously, Duan Kefan looked at his expression, his heart was happy, it seemed that there was hope, and he also leaned over curiously to look at it, the photo that aroused the interest of Zheng Xiumei's uncle was the photo of the main entrance of the ancestral hall where Duan Kefan lived, and the door of the ancestral hall read "Wang's ancestral hall" Four words, Duan Kefan is not too interested in calligraphy, but in his eyes, the inscription on this door is also very ordinary, not like any calligraphy everyone's ink treasure, I don't know why it can make Uncle Zheng Xiumei interested.
Duan Kefan didn't dare to disturb Uncle Zheng Xiumei, but Zheng Xiumei on the side didn't have so many scruples, seeing that her uncle was holding a magnifying glass and looking left and right at the photo, she didn't speak for a long time, and couldn't help urging curiously: "Uncle, you are talking, is this the word inscribed by a calligrapher?......
Only then did her uncle put down the magnifying glass and muttered: "Looking at the handwriting, it seems to be the inscription of Emperor Zhu Yunwen of the Ming Dynasty, but there is no payment, so I am not very sure, it is best to go to the scene to have a look and see if I can find relevant supporting evidence......"
Duan Kefan was overjoyed when he heard this, although he did not study history, but he also knew something about the history of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yunwen was the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, although he was a little sad as the emperor, and he was ousted by his uncle Zhu Di not long after he succeeded to the throne, and had to go into exile in the world, but he was a person who had been an emperor anyway! He hurriedly asked excitedly: "Uncle, if it can be determined that it is the inscription of Zhu Yunwen, the Jianwen Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, then the ancient buildings in our village should have protection value?!... β¦β
"Of course, Zhu Yunwen's final whereabouts in history have always been a mystery for the ages, this should be his inscription during his exile, so there is no inscription, if it can be proved that this is indeed his inscription, then it is definitely a major discovery in archaeology......" Zheng Xiumei's uncle also laughed a little excitedly.
"Great! Then when will you go to our village for a field inspection?!......" Duan Kefan slapped his thigh hard and said excitedly.
Zheng Xiumei's uncle was naturally much more stable than Duan Kefan, and muttered: "Wait for two days, I still have some work at hand that has not been completed, I plan to use the rest time to go to the site in my personal name first, after all, this is just my personal speculation, and I am not too sure, and there is no record that Zhu Yunwen has been to Jiangnan Province in the existing historical documents, if I rush to report it now but it turns out that my speculation is wrong, it will be a joke......
Duan Kefan also knew that he was too eager, calmed down his excitement, nodded and said, "Okay, I will stay in the provincial capital for the next two days and wait for your news, and when you are done, I will accompany you to investigate......
Zheng Xiumei's uncle was originally going to leave Duan Kefan and them for dinner, but when he saw Zheng Xiumei's expression, he smiled and said, "I have to meet a friend in a while, so I won't leave you for dinner, you young people can arrange the activities yourself......"
Coming out of Uncle Zheng Xiumei's house, Duan Kefan waved his arm a little irrepressibly excitedly, although it has not yet been officially determined that the inscription on the ancestral hall is Zhu Yunwen's ink treasure, but listening to Uncle Zheng Xiumei's tone, there is still a lot of hope, so that not only the protection funds for the ancient buildings in Rongshu Village have been settled, but also the follow-up development of Rongshu Village will be of great help, and this time it is really the right time to come to the provincial capital!
Zheng Xiumei was also very happy for Duan Kefan, glanced at him and smiled: "Duan Kefan, I helped you so much, how are you going to thank me?......
"Yes, thank you so much, I invite you to a big meal, the place is up to ......you," Duan Kefan patted his chest proudly.
Zheng Xiumei was waiting for Duan Kefan's words, she didn't care about the big meal or anything, but the opportunity to be alone with Duan Kefan made her full of joy, and she pointed her chin with a green onion jade finger and thought about it: "Then you invite me to eat Western food, the steak from the high-roller on the pedestrian street is not bad......"
Duan Kefan was full of promises, the two got in the car and went straight to the pedestrian street, just found a parking space and parked the car, Duan Kefan's mobile phone rang, Duan Kefan looked at the caller ID was Zheng Ya calling, and said what the hell is this animal doing, press the answer button, and listen to Zheng Ya's frightened voice from the other end of the microphone: "Boss, come and save me......"
