Li Rui's attention was not on the coffin and the burial goods, from the moment he walked to the door of the tomb, he stared at an archaeological team member in the tomb.

The burial chamber was already powered and the four corners were lit up with incandescent light bulbs. Because of this, everyone in the tomb could not hide, and all of them fell clearly under Li Rui's eyes. At a glance, he saw the tall and slender bookish beauty Xiaofang, although she was dressed like yesterday and was wearing a mask, unable to recognize her face, but that temperament could not be concealed.

She mingled with the team members who were responsible for excavating the funeral goods, and was making written records, watching her meticulously write and draw in a notebook, with a demure and soft posture, like a moving picture, it was a pleasure.

Li Rui looked dry, and thought to himself, this kind of temperament beauty must not be missed, but how to find a chance to meet her

Shortly after the excavation began, the leaders of the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau, the Provincial Cultural Relics Research Institute and the Provincial Archaeological Team suddenly visited the ancient tomb.

This was what Director Zhao and Captain Cao expected, so no one was surprised by their sudden visit.

As the hosts, County Magistrate Chen and Director Zhao welcomed them, but only they knew whether they were really welcome.

After a brief greeting, these six or seven leaders entered the ancient tomb to learn about the tomb on the spot.

The team leader of the city's television production team invited an expert from the Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics to add a comment on the funeral goods to the live broadcast, and the gray-haired expert in his 60s readily agreed.

He picked out a jade figure made of dark stone from the burial goods that had been excavated, and after the camera reporter pointed the camera at him, he began to talk eloquently: "Let's first look at the texture of this jade." We carefully observe, this jade, the color is blue and dark, the jade color is deep and consistent, the jade is warm and smooth, and the hardness is very high, which should be a typical Hetian green jade. ”

He paused intentionally and continued to the camera, "Hetian green jade, the overall appearance of the vigorous spirit, implying the evergreen foundation, so it has been the main material of the national seal since ancient times, and the jade seals of the feudal dynasties of the past dynasties are all made of green jade, and the common people do not use it much." From this point of view, we can try to judge that the owner of this ancient tomb should be a child of the royal family. ”

Li Rui was amazed in his heart, an expert is an expert, he can judge the identity of the tomb owner only by a simple jade, if he changes it to himself, at most he can only guess the value of this jade.

The expert continued: "Let's take a look at the age of this jade. We should first pay attention to its Yin line processing, its Yin line processing, there is a very thick and large Yin line use, the tradition calls it the Han knife, that is, when making a small jade figure, you can grind a jade figure with it, which shows its conciseness. Another is the processing of its thin yin line. There is often such a phenomenon in the processing of thin yin line, the yin line is very thin, but its line is intermittent. Some connoisseurs or researchers call this phenomenon a jumping knife, as if a knife is used to jump on it and carve it. The Western Han Dynasty jade craft is often used in this kind of Yin line carving, with thick and thin Yin line ingenious matching, dense and compact, romantic and elegant, rigid and soft, is a kind of handicraft technique that has a profound impact on later generations of jade. Therefore, we can conclude that this jade came from the Western Han Dynasty. ”

While introducing, the expert spread the jade figure in the palm of his hand, displayed it to the camera lens, and continued, "Han Dynasty jade, in terms of use, can be divided into four categories: ceremonial jade, burial jade, ornamental jade and furnishing jade. The one I am holding in my hand obviously belongs to the category of burial jade. In the funeral jade of the Han Dynasty, there are quite a lot of jade products, but there are very few that have been handed down in the world. The jade figure in my hand can be named Hetian Qingyu Jade Kneeling Man. So why is this person kneeling, let's look at his outfit first, wearing an official robe of the Han Dynasty and a jade belt around his waist, he is obviously an official. There are several choices for who officials want to bow to, emperors, princes, and generals. Our tomb is definitely not the Emperor's Curtain, because the specifications have not yet arrived. Will the tomb not, the tomb will not dare to use this kneeling jade. Therefore, we can conclude that this is a princely tomb. The princes of the Han Dynasty were in their respective spheres of influence, that is, the emperors of the soil, and of course the officials had to bow down when they saw them. After these princes died, it was not okay for no one to serve them in the underworld, so the descendants carved this kind of jade kneeling person, and put it into the tomb as a burial object when they were sent to the funeral, which was regarded as a kind of Ningbo burial. ”

Speaking of this, he pointed to the chin of the jade kneeling man with a little smugness and said, "Look at him here carefully, his chin is bare, and he doesn't have a beard." You must know that in ancient times, men had to grow beards, and men in the Han Dynasty had to grow beards from the age of sixteen. The beard, like the hair, was a parent, and it was a very precious thing in those days, and it was not easily removed. This person has no beard, which is very intriguing. If I'm not mistaken, he should be a eunuch, specializing in the internal affairs of the princely mansion. ”

When everyone saw that he had analyzed so many things through a jade figure, they were all secretly impressed.

The host of the live broadcast smiled and asked, "You told us so much that we didn't know, it was really an eye-opener for us." However, I believe that the audience in front of our TV screen still pays more attention to the value of this jade man. I heard that this ancient tomb was blown up by tomb thieves first, and almost robbed the burial goods in the tomb. Then I would like to ask you, if this jade figure is stolen by tomb thieves and sold, how much can it be sold?"

The expert smiled, "The year before last, at the Sotheby's auction in Hong Kong, there was a Hetian Qingyu jade man who was also from the Western Han Dynasty and sold for a high price of 900,000 yuan. That jade figure is not as good as our current one. I estimate that we, the jade kneeling man, can sell for 1.2 million or more. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone smacked their tongues.

A mere jade figure can be sold for 1.2 million, and if all the burial goods in the entire ancient tomb are sold, the total value will not exceed 100 million

Unfortunately, everyone understands that no matter how high the value of these funeral goods is, they belong to the state, and individuals have no right to possess and sell them. Because of this, everyone was just shocked, and no one was happy about it.

Li Rui set his eyes on this expert, and thought to himself, take the opportunity to show him the black jade ball he got, and let him judge the value. As for the other two, the golden beast and the gold-inlaid jade mirror, there is no need to show him, because both of them have to be given away, and the value does not matter.

Li Rui watched the excavation for a while, and then he lost his interest, so he walked out of the ancient tomb.

County Magistrate Chen caught up and said, "Li Chu, you and Ling don't cook at night, let's go to the township at night and feast the leaders of the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau." Li Rui smiled: "It's going to be wiped again." County Magistrate Chen shook his head and said, "How is it to stain Li Chu, to speak from the heart, I admire you and Ling Chu, you don't do the leisurely and decent work in the city, and you are willing to go down to the village to engage in poverty alleviation, not afraid of hardships, willing to endure hardships, what touches me even more is that you insist on cooking by yourself every day, and almost never go to restaurants to eat and drink." This hard-working spirit really makes me ashamed. ”

Li Rui was very embarrassed by his praise, but he had a strong impression of him in his heart.

The two of them said politely, and the dinner for the evening was decided.

After a while, Ling Shuyao came out of the ancient tomb, found Li Rui and asked, "Why didn't you call me when you came out" Li Rui joked with her, "I'll come out to the toilet, call you, do you come" Ling Shuyao was not angry, lowered her voice, and said in surprise, "You said that such a little jade man, black and not slippery, not much bigger than a kitten, hey, it can be sold for more than a million." If it weren't for the experts, I wouldn't have believed it. Li Rui said, "Don't you know, among our Chinese cultural relics, jade, porcelain, calligraphy and painting are the most expensive." Gold and silver are not very valuable. ”

Ling Shuyao suddenly thought of something, and said with a fluttering eyebrow, "If you sell this jade figure, sell it for more than one million, and distribute it to these poor households in the village, each family can share at least 10,000 yuan, won't you be able to get rid of poverty in an instant" Li Rui laughed, nodded and said, "That's right, don't care if it works in the future, at least this year will be a temporary poverty alleviation." Good idea, I support it. Go talk to Magistrate Chen and see if you can convince them to sell this thing. Ling Shuyao flattened her mouth and said, "You are the person in charge, I just gave you an idea." I came up with the idea, and the specific implementation is up to you, so don't use me as a gunman. ”

At six o'clock in the evening, still in the largest restaurant in Longwangmiao Township, County Chief Chen had a banquet and invited the leaders of the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau. The staff of the city TV station film team was also invited to participate in the banquet.

The Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and the Provincial Archaeological Team are both institutions under the Provincial Bureau of Cultural Relics. Therefore, it is no problem to say that these people from the province are all from the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau. This time, a total of seven of them came, led by two division-level cadres, one is the director of the Department of Cultural Relics Protection and Archaeology, and the other is the deputy director of the Department of Museums and Social Cultural Relics, each with a subordinate, and an expert from the Institute of Cultural Relics, as well as two tomb excavation masters of the archaeological team, the lineup is also very strong.

With the arrival of these "big shots" with the halo of provincial and department-level units, Li Rui can no longer sit in the first place. He, Ling Shuyao and Director Zhao were all accompanied by these distinguished guests, and they were also led by these people when they ate, drank and toasted during the banquet.
