Originally, the curator and Professor Qian only said intentionally or unintentionally: if you don't pay some money and hire a few villagers down the mountain to help open the way, time is equal to money.

I didn't expect so many people to sign up, but it was a big surprise to them.

In this case, they simply entrusted the project of opening the road to Xiang Rongxin. The archaeological team drove directly into the mountains to be responsible for the development of the ancient ruins.

Doing both at the same time can save a lot of time.

"It's to open a smooth mountain road to get out. ”

The leading cadres agreed one after another. They also asked if there were enough people, and if they didn't, they sent people to help.

"Enough is enough!" explained to Rong Xin, "At the moment, it is still very convenient to recruit a few small workers. Just let the big guys earn some extra money and subsidize some family. ”

If the construction team in the city comes, there will be no work for them.

The cadres heard the deep meaning of Xiang Rongxin's words and smiled.

"Okay, that's a kind of self-sufficiency in disguise, and that's good. ”

The large army drove to the site of the underground palace while chatting, and the fairyland-like scenery opposite made this group of middle and low-level cadres who had never been to the depths of Yanqi Mountain full of praise.

The accompanying newspaper reporter held the camera, and he was happy to take pictures.

If the beautiful scenery here is passed on, Yanqi Commune in Ninghe County will usher in the limelight again.

Someone suggested exactly the same as the curator at the time: "It would be nice to be one with this place across the street." It seems that there are golden monkeys and sika deer...... It has both human history and natural landscapes, which is too suitable for development into a tourist attraction. ”

The curator was brainwashed by Yingfang several times, much calmer than when he first came, and said after hearing the words: "The natural landscape should remain original, what is the value of being developed?"

The cadres of the county party committee were worried that they would quarrel if they disagreed, so they hurriedly played a round game: "In fact, there are many similar scenery in our Yanqi Mountain, and when the road is opened and the history museum is built, there will be more tourists who come to visit, and it is not too late to develop it slowly." ”

"Yes, yes, it's too early to talk about that. ”

Others collectively and muddy.

Yingfang, who was following behind, sighed again in her heart after listening to these words.

At this moment, she had the same idea as her daughter: she really wanted to protect the Yanqi Mountain and prevent people from developing it casually. In this way, the small animals in the mountains will not be captured or expelled, and they will not be able to protect their homes and hide from Tibet.

……

In the end, they are not professionals, and these leading cadres who hold their own duties have no opinions on archaeological research. After following the underground palace and looking around, I really can't figure out what these ruins and ruins are good to study and develop. Isn't it just some rotten stones and broken rafters?

So, after staying for a while, I went down the mountain again.

Ying Fang naturally followed Professor Qian.

On the one hand, I have the mentality of learning, and on the other hand, I really want to take this opportunity to find out what happened to the underground palace after the earth dragon turned over.

In addition to bringing an experienced archaeological team, Professor Qian also brought a lot of archaeological tools.

With the help of these archaeological tools, after the group went down to the site, they divided the work to make various records such as writing, drawing, photography and surveying.

When encountering some small specimens, they are collected in special boxes so that they can be taken back indoors for further analysis and research.

Archaeological excavations should reveal the remains and relics buried in the ground.

In this process, it is inevitable that the relics will be damaged to varying degrees, which is why Yingfang did not dare to take Xiaojin alone to excavate.

Xiao Jin's strength is very great, and with a single coercion and tail flick, the flat valley can be made into a ravine.

But it is not easy to turn over the relics of life that have been buried deep underground for hundreds of years. It's hard to protect that it will turn into ashes.

Even if you dig by hand, and be careful, you can still hear Professor Qian constantly admonishing: "Be meticulous! Be cautious! Pay attention to the strength of your feet and the strength of your hands." I wonder if you're stepping on the 'cultural layer' right now......"

The so-called "cultural layer" is a proper term in archaeology.

The places where human beings live, through various human activities, usually accumulate a layer of "cooked soil" on the original naturally formed "raw soil", which is often mixed with various artifacts and their remnants unintentionally or intentionally abandoned by human beings, which is the "cultural layer".

If there are human beings of different eras living here, another layer of "cultural layer" is piled up on top of the original "cultural layer", and over time, there are more and more cultural layers.

Archaeologists must work meticulously and carefully to uncover these intricate layers of culture in an orderly manner. Otherwise, not only will there be no progress in archaeology, but it will also be easy to show off and cause historical disorder.

Therefore, the archaeological team was extremely careful. Every time a relic from the past dynasty is excavated, it will be carefully marked with a serial number, indicating the location, time, temperature, humidity and the particularity of the surrounding environment.

Ying Fang can actually be recognized at a glance. But she couldn't say it directly.

I had no choice but to insert my own opinion at the right time when Professor Qian was analyzing, so as not to make a detour.

When Professor Qian heard this, he immediately high-fived.

"You read this major correctly! You are born to eat this bowl of rice! Your sensitivity to ancient ruins is much stronger than mine. ”

Ying Fang smiled bitterly in her heart: Where! This is because she has lived here, and because she is bored, she has visited the entire underground palace except for the forbidden place stipulated by the palace master.

Even the main hall of the underground palace has several beams and columns, and the distance and characteristics between each beam and column, can be said with eyes closed.

But if you change to an unfamiliar site, you will be confused and completely confused.

"Professor, don't put a high hat on me, I'm just interested in the history of the previous dynasty, when I was in school, I often went to the library to borrow this kind of book, and that's why the blind cat met the dead mouse to help you. If you change dynasties, you may not have the sensitivity you said. ”

"Xiao Shu, you are too modest. Professor Qian smiled and waved his hand, "If we do archaeology, we must first be interested in history. With that enthusiasm and sensitivity, even if it's just about a certain period of history, it doesn't matter, let's study this period of history. ”

Ying Fang's heart moved when she heard this, and she couldn't help asking, "Professor, did you say that if this site is developed, will there really be a museum or research institute here?"

She didn't really believe much in those decisions made by patting her head. But there are also some cravings.

"It's possible. I suspect it was once an ancient castle, or a relatively well-established city, but it was buried in the ground by an earthquake or something, like a mudslide, an avalanche, or something like that. If all of them can be excavated, the value is not necessarily smaller than those provincial museums. ”

Ying Fang thought about it too. Although there were no people in the underground palace at that time, the scale of the underground palace itself was not small, and it took at least half a day to visit it.

Large and small palaces, houses, plus the layout inside, the excavation is indeed a big project. If you dig it out, you can really open a museum.

"So when I had dinner yesterday, those few people said with great interest that they wanted to build a provincial museum branch here, but I didn't say anything. If they are really interested, this is a good opportunity, whether it is for Yanqi Commune or Ninghe County, it is an opportunity for development. ”

As he spoke, Professor Qian raised his eyes to look at Ying Fang: "What's the matter? Do you want to stay in the museum after graduation? Don't you want to follow me all over the country to investigate the relics left by your ancestors?

"Hey, old money, don't let me not exist, okay?" the curator couldn't help but interject, "Everyone has their own aspirations. Who says that staying in a museum must be boring? Enjoying all kinds of treasures left by our ancestors three meals a day is also a different kind of enjoyment!"

"Hehe......" Professor Qian glanced his old friend up and down with a smile, "Don't you say that I haven't paid attention yet, I really enjoy it, and the beer belly is bigger again." ”

“…… What about the topic of work, what are you doing with my beer belly!" The curator turned his head angrily and said to Yingfang, "Xiao Shu, we still have a common topic." Come on, let's go ahead with the museum and ignore this stubborn guy!"

Ying Fang smiled and said, "Curator, I actually like the environment here. Nature is so beautiful, I really don't want a beautiful valley to be destroyed by the development of the site. If there is a museum or institute here, I really want to stay and work here. ”

Bai Xingyi's curator: "......"
