"The armor is sufficient, when the award rate of the three armies, the North Central Plains, the exhaustion of the blunt, the removal of the traitors, the revival of the Han Dynasty, and the return to the old capital. Liu Xiaobai continued: "If the age of the stele is before the Jin Dynasty, then there should be three countries in the entire land of China at that time, and these three countries finally belonged to the Jin Dynasty. ”

"Xiaobai, who is the owner of this master's list, I can tell you now. Ding Li pointed to the base of the stele and said, "Look here, is there a line of words?"

Liu Xiaobai squatted down and looked at Ding Li's fingers, and sure enough, he found a line of stone carvings in the pattern decorated on the base.

This line of stone inscription is hidden in the stone carving pattern, so it is not noticed.

In the eighty-fifth year of the Shu Han Dynasty, he was ordered by the emperor to be the emperor of Gongsun Yulong.

Just a dozen words in a line, but Liu Xiaobai, who is engaged in historical research, instantly understood the true meaning of the stele.

The owner of this stele has a very large background, otherwise the Emperor of Shu Han would not have erected a stele for him in the name of the emperor.

In ancient times, the emperor also referred to the emperor in general, and also referred to the emperor, and only those who had made great contributions could be given the title of emperor by the dynasty after his death.

It seems that this person called Gongsun Yulong has made great contributions, so after his death, the emperor posthumously named him the emperor, and built an ancestral hall and a monument for him in the name of the emperor to commend his merits.

Thinking of Liu Xiaobai here, the whole person became excited, because no matter whether the age of this stone tablet was before the Jin Dynasty, just by virtue of the stone inscriptions on the stone tablet and the meaning revealed in the words, it is a great discovery, a discovery that can make him famous in history, and it is extremely dazzling to appear on the long scroll of Chinese historical research!

Liu Xiaobai, who wanted to understand everything, calmed down, commanded everyone, and moved the broken stone tablet to the car again.

Of course, when leaving, Liu Xiaobai also gave Ergoudan a bonus of 5,000 yuan in the name of the museum's cultural relics census department.

He didn't have much money on him, so he borrowed it from Ding Li.

But I didn't expect that the 5,000 yuan gave them another great opportunity.

A white-haired old farmer in his early sixties from the same village as Ergoudan, saw Ding Li and they wanted to drive away, and after hesitating for a long time, he opened his mouth and called Ding Li and Liu Xiaobai down, saying that he also had something at home, and asked Ding Li and Liu Xiaobai to wait a little, and he would go to pick it up immediately.

A few minutes later.

The old farmer panted and brought something.

Looking at this thing in the old farmer's hand, Ding Li and Liu Xiaobai were immediately stunned, what appeared in front of them was nothing else, it turned out to be a vernier caliper.

Vernier calipersWe all know that the instruments used to measure things are all made of stainless steel, but the vernier calipers in front of Ding Li are different, they are made of bronze, and this vernier caliper made of bronze has a smooth surface, like new.

"Comrade, do you want to see if this thing is real?" asked the old farmer with a hint of expectation, "I dug it out of the garbage heap, and I have also sought experts from the county for this, and they told me that this is a craft imitation, not a cultural relic." ”

Liu Xiaobai pursed his lips, took it, looked at it carefully for a long time, and muttered: "If it is a cultural relic, it should have the kind of patina that has accumulated over the years, but this thing obviously does not have it, it seems to be a craft imitation." ”

He argues based on the knowledge he has learned, whether it is porcelain, calligraphy and painting, as long as it is a cultural relic, there is a taste called cultural relics on their bodies, but the thing in front of him is smooth as new, and there is no unique charm of cultural relics at all, so he will give the answer so surely.

As for Ding Li next to Liu Xiaobai, he had a different feeling in his heart.

Ding Li suddenly thought of something he had seen in the National Museum before crossing over, something that was listed as a national treasure of China and forbidden to be exhibited.

It was a thing from Wang Mang's New Dynasty period, and that thing was also a vernier caliper, but there was obviously patina on it, so he guessed the same as Liu Xiaobai, thinking that the bronze vernier caliper was new.

But then, Ding Li's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of something, and said to Liu Xiaobai, "Xiaobai, is it true, let's go back and do a test." ”

……

On the way back to the capital, Liu Xiaobai, who was sitting in the driver's seat, looked at Ding Li, who was carefully examining the vernier caliper, and asked puzzledly, "Teacher Ding, this thing is obviously a textile, why did you take it back?"

"Xiaobai, you're like. Ding Li replied with a smile.

"How can I be?" replied unconvinced.

Ding Li smiled, "Let me ask you, do we have any other bronze products in addition to the two bronze arrowheads?"

Liu Xiaobai shook his head, "No." ”

"Since there is none, can someone who has nothing to do and will cast ....... Ding Li slowly said the speculations he had in mind.

And it is divided into one, two, three, and four points.

The first point, that is, in terms of the value of cultural relics, everyone in the entire Huaxia Kingdom knows that except for two bronze arrowheads, there are no bronze cultural relics before the Jin Dynasty.

Even if they do, the question is where will anyone buy it? Everyone knows that bronze artifacts are so scarce, their value is certainly unquestionable, and selling them privately is a big felony, and if you don't make a good fuss, you will lose your head, so as long as you are not a fool, no one will buy it.

The second point, the casting process, Ding Li didn't think about it before, but since he was involved in this historical controversy, he made inquiries through the Internet and found that the Shui Lanxing Huaxia Kingdom had lost the bronze casting process.

In other words, even if someone wants to make bronzes, they will not be able to return to heaven.

The third point is the casting process, Ding Li speculated that the ancients should have mastered a very high anti-corrosion and anti-rust function, so this bronze vernier caliper will be as new as ever.

The fourth point, which is also extremely important, Ding Li found a line of handwriting at the end of the vernier caliper, which is extremely small, only the size of a grain of rice.

With the help of a magnifying glass, he finally managed to see this line clearly, which said that in the second year of the new dynasty, the palace supervision department supervised the construction.

Isn't the new dynasty the dynasty established by Wang Mang in the last years of the Western Han Dynasty in the previous life? How could the vernier calipers of that period appear in the Huaxia Kingdom of Shui Lanxing? And what happened to the new dynasty?

In short, while solving the puzzle of the provenance of the vernier caliper, this line of words also brings Ding Li's endless resentment.
