"Absolutely. I'm already familiar with these things, and when I read them, I just want to accumulate the strengths of a hundred schools. ”

"I see, that's admirable. I just saw you playing poker, and you seem to be playing very hard. ”

Wuyang smiled and said: "I am such a person, full of energy, love learning, love work, and love life. Sir, which discipline are you a Ph.D.? ”

"I forgot to introduce, my name is Ba Etu, a Mongolian, majoring in archaeology."

"Archaeology majors are very popular now."

"I love my nation very much, I want to dig out the things of the nation, but from the undergraduate graduation to now, it has been more than ten years, that is, I have been going around museums in various places, and I can't find anything that others have not discovered, so I can only hope for a senior title. Fortunately, our school has a welfare house, and our housing prices there are not high, and we usually live very well on the salary of two people. ”

In the museum of Wuyang, there are many cultural relics brought back from the prairie, which have been stored in the warehouse. Professor Tan and those people have never touched at all, although they are all cultural relics, but they are also like a mountain. Wuyang wanted Ba Etu to study it, but the words almost came to his lips, and he held it back again. It's only been a few hours since they've met, and it's too rash to tell people such a heavy secret. Besides, those things were obtained in Outer Mongolia, and Inner Mongolia will definitely have them. Anyway, so far, not a tomb of the Yuan Dynasty has been found by an official archaeological unit, and you can find a chance to find it, not with Qin Zhengyuan and Cai Limin, and brothers Hu Minbo and Hu Minqiang. In the future, Dalong and Dapeng can also be used. At that time, the news was reported to Sù Ba Etu. It's not in vain to get acquainted. A hundred years of repairing can be crossed in the same boat.

"Dr. Ba Etu, my name is Li Wuyang, and my current establishment is in the government department, and I am engaged in cultural relics research, which is just a hobby. In the future, we can help each other, and maybe we can produce results faster. ”

Ba Etu smiled and said: "Cadre Li, you are a government official, and you are in your position and do not seek political power. It's no longer appropriate, but it's a hobby to talk to me about helping each other, are you kidding? ”

Wuyang knew that many intellectuals were relatively upright and upright, and they would not turn around, so they didn't care about them. "Dr. Baetu, I don't have the time to joke with you. For example, I found an object, I don't know which dynasty it belonged to, and I don't even know the name or purpose of it. It's a waste to hold in your hand, but if it's given to you. Maybe it will be able to accurately determine the generation and make its inheritance clear. In this way, you have physical evidence and can write articles that are useful for historical research, and I can also write research papers on cultural relics based on your research, isn't it helpful to help each other? ”

"Cadre Li, what you said makes sense, and I completely agree. That's it, we exchange phone numbers, and if you really find out in the future, please tell me. ”

Wuyang said: "Doctor, if I have the opportunity to go to your prairie where the sky is vast and the grass is blown, and the cattle and sheep are low, looking for the tombs of the Yuan Dynasty, I will definitely invite you to participate." ”

Ba Etu smiled and said: "Cadre Li, you really have a sense of humor, you are an excellent man, your wife will definitely not grow old when she lives with you." ”

"What, you don't believe it?"

"I can believe that you may be a tech-savvy scientist and may have invented a metal detector that can detect hundreds of meters underground. Our nation is a nation on horseback, advocating force, those emperors and generals in the tombs, there must be swords buried with them, and they will definitely be detected by you. ”

Wuyang said: "The metal detector can detect a few meters, but the instrument that detects so deep cannot be made for the time being." However, I think that since it is a tomb, there will always be clues to be found. ”

Ba Etu said: "Anyway, it's okay, I'll tell you a little bit about the funeral customs of our nation." According to legend, our nation once had sky burial, cremation and wild burial, after the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, whether to learn and imitate the Han burial methods, there are still doubts. If you don't even have a burial, how do you start? ”

"Doctor, I know about burial and cremation, but what is a wild burial like?"

"It's very simple, throwing the corpse in the wild and letting the beast tear it up or rot it is the same reason as the sky burial, but omitting the procedure of dissecting the corpse and chopping it up, reflecting a simple materialism, which comes from nature and returns to nature. The Han people didn't have cremation in ancient times, and dust returned to dust, and soil returned to earth. ”

"Doctor, it's uncertain whether your ancestors imitated the method of burial, so it's still possible to be buried."

"Yes, it's possible to save zài. It is rumored that the Yuan Dynasty did engage in burials, but the methods were simple and complicated. To put it simply, it is not to look at feng shui, it is unbearable to see the earth's veins, people die, dig pits and bury them on the spot, and never let the living see the body of the deceased decomposed, if it is hot, it is a few days of work; To say that it is complicated, it is necessary to dig a deep burial pit, bury the body and burial goods, and then place the giant wood tightly into two crossed triangles, so that the soil does not fall into the burial chamber. After filling the soil, the sealed soil should be trampled with cattle and horses, so that people can not see the mound, and then send troops to guard, and the time of guarding depends on the growth of plants and trees. As long as you can see it, you will keep guarding it until you can't see it. ”

Wuyang asked: "If future generations want to worship, how can they find it?" ”

Baetu smiled and said, "We naturally have our own way. Kill the camel cub in the cemetery, and see the female camel whose child was killed and remember the place, and you can find it later by riding the female camel. ”

"And what if the she-camel died?"

"It's just dead. In the 100th year of the Yuan Dynasty, there were 11 emperors, if they all had to worship and the burial place was so far away, then they didn't have to do anything else, just go around the burial every year. ”

Wuyang smiled and said, "Yes, there may be an emperor who died in Europe." Doctor, you know so clearly, it took a lot of work, right? ”

"For more than ten years, I have consulted classics, collected folk tales and legends, and I dare not slack off."

"Didn't I hear that there is a city in Inner Mongolia where there is a tribe dedicated to guarding and worshipping Genghis Khan's mausoleum, is it true?"

Baetu said, "That's where I have it in my house." The ancestors were very devout to worship, and the grandfather joined the revolution and left. I grew up in the city with my parents. But I went back a few times. I was deeply attracted by these legends and wanted to find out what to do. But after so many years, where is the tomb? Where is the physical evidence? ”

"Where there's a will, there's a way, and you'll succeed."

"Thank you, let's encourage each other. Cadre Li, I think it's a good thing to be able to work in a government agency, but you have such a solid foundation in cultural relics. It's not a good thing to do research professionally, my grandfather participated in the revolution, and it was only after his retirement that he determined the treatment of the deputy teacher, and my father retired last year, so he mixed up with a regular level, and his salary was less than two thousand, which was difficult. If you are rated as a researcher, you are equivalent to a professor, and your salary is at least 4,000 yuan. Now there is a craze for cultural relics, helping others to identify cultural relics in private. How can you seal a red envelope of thousands of yuan at a time, it is much more affordable. Dealing with interpersonal relationships is far less complicated. ”

Wuyang smiled: "Doctor, you still know a lot about this." ”

Baetu smiled and said, "In your words, I haven't eaten pork, and I haven't seen a pig run?" Don't talk anymore, go to the bathroom. ”

As soon as Ba Etu left, Li Xize immediately ran over, "Big brother, give me your bank account, and Dong Xu wants to give money." ”

"Give what money?"

"I won money just now playing poker. Zheng Dong gave me 13 million, and you accept Xu Dong's. ”

"Don't. When you go back, I'm going to go to the toilet too. ”

When I came back from queuing up to go to the toilet, I was intercepted by Zheng Dong, "Secretary Li, how did you do it, let me be a person who doesn't believe in my word?" Although the voice is small, it shows the majesty of being a boss usually.

"Zheng Dong, kill time, don't be serious."

"I'm a good gambler, I don't care if I win or lose, I never owe gambling debts, don't let my reputation be ruined. Don't talk about violating discipline or breaking the law, this is already on the high seas. Besides, you got your shoes wet yesterday, so you still care? ”

"Okay, okay, I'm scared of you. However, yesterday is not the same as today, yesterday was a cultural game, and today is naked gambling. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, sue me account."

"Those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, it seems that I can't mess with you in the future."

"Okay, that's over, we're still passers-by. Don't let us delay your bright future. ”

Wuyang didn't say anything more, bypassing him and returning to his seat. They are Brother Zhang's people, and there is no need to offend them or accommodate them. If you accept his money today, you will be able to do something in the future, and you will fall deeper and deeper, so that you will not be able to extricate yourself. Yesterday's incident was with Brother Zhang, and they would never dare to poke out. In case he gets out, Brother Zhang may be fine now, but what about a few years from now? Although he is an insignificant person, he may be discarded like a pawn, but it is only possible, and if he is pulled into the water by them, he will definitely become an outcast.

After thinking about it for a while, my mood calmed down, and when I was about to take the book to read, I saw Ba Etu reading a video about horses in his notebook, so he asked: "Doctor, you people love horses, and you must be no exception, right?" ”

"Yes, it's a pity that I live in a reinforced concrete forest, and I go to the grassland a few times a year, and it's rare to gallop a few times. If it weren't for the gap in the archaeology of the Yuan Dynasty, I would really like to be a wrangler. ”

"Doctor, is there a wild horse sanctuary in Inner Mongolia now?"

Ba Etu smiled and said, "This is the first time I've heard of it." Now there are very few wild horses on the grassland, two years ago I heard that the state bought some wild horses from abroad and released them in northern Xinjiang, there are special people to take care of them, and there are also people who specialize in research, but I have not heard that a special reserve has been established. ”

Wuyang asked: "Do you think it is possible for our country to establish a reserve for wild horses?" ”

"It's possible, but that should be years away. In the future, wild horses will basically not be seen in the wild, and only then will our experts appeal, and our deputies to the people's congress and members of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference will write proposals, and only then will the relevant departments pay attention to it. ”

"Now that there are animal protection organizations and individuals buying land in Africa to build nature reserves and save lions, elephants and rhinos, can we do the same here?" ”

Baetu smiled and said, "Will we have such people here?" ”

"Perhaps?"

"That's going to be hard, I'm afraid. You may not have been to the grassland, but although the grassland is large, I am afraid that there is no place to establish a protected area. One is that the grassland is strictly desertified, and some grasslands in the past have now become deserts; The second is the herdsmen's horses, cattle and sheep increased sharply. Wherever there is grass. Either summer pastures. Either it is pasture in the fall, or it is used to mow grass for livestock to survive the winter. If they want to establish protected areas, where are they going? You may say that, like a cashmere group, water conservancy is built and pasture is planted, not to mention whether there is capital investment, even if the grass grows. Used to raise cattle, sheep, and horses to sell, the economic benefits are visible, who would give up such a big benefit for an inconsequential wild horse? ”

"Doctor, it is said that the herdsmen on the steppe are rich now, right?"

"yes. Now a 4-year-old strong cow costs 7 or 8,000 yuan, and a 4-year-old grassland horse costs about 10,000 yuan for a goat. The prices are more than a thousand. In the average herdsman's house, there are more than a dozen horses. 4. 50 cows, about 500 goats or sheep. If you raise only one of them, the value will not be low. Of course, these animals can't all be turned into cash at once, they can only be sold and bred every year. ”

"In that case, if you want to establish a protected area, you really can't afford to move them. Doctor, can you find a way to buy a place with water sources in your autonomous region, build a reservoir, plant pasture, and establish a reserve for wild horses? ”

"Why do you ask this? Would you like to buy? ”

"One of our entrepreneurs brought back some wild horses from Mongolia two years ago, more than 300 of them. The foals have been produced for two years, and now there are more than 1,000 in total, and this year's foals are about to be produced again, not only because the forage is difficult to raise, but also because there is no way to build stables, and there is no place for the horses to run. Now they want to return all the raw wild horses they have caught to the wild before the foals are produced this year, so they need to find a place. ”

Ba Etu asked: "Cadre Li, have you ever seen a horse?" How big is it? ”

"The height is not very high, the mare's back is only about 160 centimeters, and the stallion is relatively tall, more than 180 centimeters. All the horses are slender and beautiful. ”

"Do you sweat red when you run?"

"No, I've seen the stallion run for hours and get drenched in sweat, which is ordinary sweat."

"Then it could be a crossbred horse." Purebred prairie horses, mares are about 150 cm high, and the most miraculous stallions will not be more than 170 cm tall. In terms of size, it should be sweaty BMW, but it is not red sweat, and it is not. This can only be determined by experts, and the most reliable thing is to collect blood samples from horses, do DNA identification, and then compare them with other horses. Cadre Li, if you have the funds, this thing is worth doing. ”

"If it were you, what would you do?"

Baetu smiled and said: "We can use the method of raising horses with horses to establish this reserve. ”

"How does it work?"

"It's easy to do it if you have money, but it's useless if you don't have money."

"You should be able to raise money."

"This needs to be done separately. One is to pull the wild horses to the grassland, contact the relevant departments of the state and the autonomous region, and tell them that these wild horses are to be released into the wild, and it may not be realistic to get their support and let them pay for it, but it is always okay to contribute, and if there is government protection, we will graze these wild horses on the grassland. As long as you don't graze in one place for a long time, the damage to the herdsmen's pastures is not very great, and even if there is damage, it is impossible to confront the government, right? ”

Wuyang said: "This is one end, and the other end is to buy land to repair water conservancy and plant grass, but where does the money come from?" ”

Baetu said, "You don't know the habits of wild horses. In a herd of wild horses, only one of the leading horses can be a stallion, and the other stallions will be driven out of the herd when they grow up, but there are often many stallions, which provides us with a source of funds. Now there are few wild horses in the wild, the little stallions are driven out, and there are no mares to be found in other places, so that they cannot play a breeding role in the wild, so we can catch them back and tame them, sell them to others for horse racing, make movies and TV series, and no matter how bad they are, they can always be used as service horses. Do you know the price of a racehorse? ”

"The best, it should be at $800,000."

"Can't get the best for the price. In this video just now, it was said that the Arab royal family spent $5.5 million to buy a racehorse. However, people have to check the bloodline, the three generations of the paternal and maternal lines must be checked, and if there is a little unclear, or the buyer is not satisfied, the price will fall sharply. ”

Wuyang said: "Doctor, let's not think about 800,000 or 1 million, we can sell it for 200,000 yuan, and that's fine." ”

"The current standard can not be set low, only by adhering to high standards, can we be strict in the cultivation. In addition to grazing and training, there is also the issue of keeping the population from degradation. These wild horses were caught from Outer Mongolia, and there must have been a population left there, and they had to go and catch the stallions and come back to replace the old horses. ”

"Doctor, there are so many things that I can't remember if you talk too much, and now I want to know, are you interested in this?"

Baetu smiled and said, "Of course I'm interested." Engaging in archaeology seems to be an illusory thing, so it's better to put it aside for a while and do something you like the most. In a few years, when I get older and it will be difficult to ride a horse, you may not give me this opportunity. ”

"Doctor, how do you say I gave you a chance?"

Ba Etu lowered his voice and said: "I know that Boss Zheng, he has a gold mine, a coal mine, and several listed companies in my hometown, and he often shows his face on TV. But when he talks to you, you don't care, his demeanor is not angry and arrogant, I am also a person who reads poetry and books, and I don't have any eyesight? ”

Wuyang smiled and said: "I don't have a line with him, this time he has something to do with me, of course my posture should be lowered." I usually have a rare refreshment, don't you hold the shelf enough? ”

"No, some things are in the bones, and they can't be brought out. I've only been in the U.S. for a few days, so what are you going to do with me when I return home? ”

"I will arrange other things, after you return to China, go to Huang Jiming and ask him to take you to contact the district party committee and the district government. Once you have an eyebrow, you can recruit some people and prepare for the wild horses. I will also arrange the problem of funding. ”

"Okay. I know that the sooner the preparation is done, the better, and if the mare is in labor, the long distance will damage them a lot. ”

Wuyang smiled and said, "You are an expert in these, so I don't need to say it." We're hungry, let's have something to eat. In my duffel bag, there are beef jerky and beef cubes. ”

Ba Etu got up and took Wuyang's duffel bag, Wuyang took out two plastic bags from it, Ba Etu looked at it, "It's still yak meat, but you can eat more." ”

"Eat it, I don't know how it tastes."

Ba Etu tore open the bag, took a large piece and bit it, "Well, it's so fragrant." ”

I ate a piece of it in the afternoon, and the taste of the beef was too strong. Li Xize had a very sharp nose, and when he found out, he came over and took away the two bags. "Big brother, you must finish eating, otherwise you will be taken away when you leave the customs."

"Let's finish eating, and give a little to the bosses."

I drank the water and started reading again. I felt a little sleepy, so I slept beautifully. When I woke up, the plane had already begun to descend. (To be continued......)
