Hey, that's a bit of a way, really. The fat man looked left and right for a long time, changed directions several times, and finally agreed with the thin and tall man's statement. But after a few seconds, he touched his chin and sighed: "What is such a big factory for, it uses a small seal, it can't be for Qin Shi Huang to burn terracotta warriors and horses, right?" ”

I looked at all the details of the map, but I still didn't understand what the factory complex was for, the map was purely to indicate the location and proportion to the rest of the landscape, and the signs that looked like buildings were only replaced by boxes, and at most the words were written in the center of the boxes either the purpose or the name.

Before I could figure it out, the tall and thin man spoke again: "Fat man, you're right, this is a factory specializing in firing utensils, and this is a big kiln factory." ”

The fat man and Sister Er both looked at him suspiciously, and the doubts on their faces were conveyed without opening their mouths.

"I didn't write it, where did you see that?" The fat man searched the map again, but in the end he found nothing.

By this time, the tall and thin man had gone around to the other end of the rectangular drawing table, and he pointed to the gate closest to the river and said, "If you insist on treating it as a city, you think that if you go out, you will jump into the river, who will do this?" ”

The fat man touched his head, thought about it, and replied: "Moat, or is this simply a Cao station connected to the Cao Yun relay to rest?" ”

The moat, of course, will never use a natural river, and it is obvious that this river just happens to flow through here, and the closest to the city is the section of the city gate, and the other places are far away. This scale is generally officially managed, similar to a post station on a dry road.

The tall and thin man did not continue to explain, but pointed directly to the river outside the city, just a glance, I suddenly realized, what the fat man said, impossible, as when I first found the direction of the river, there is almost no straight line in the whole section of the river, and it will turn a bend before it goes far, which makes the whole river appear on the plan completely composed of several English letters of the S.

"If other reasons don't make sense, it is necessary to be so close to the water source, which means that a lot of water will be used in the city, but just for drinking, it can be done by digging a large canal, and there is no need to build the entire city by the river, soil erosion, sediment erosion, coupled with the impact of the river bend, the city wall can not be supported in a few years, so the purpose of this city is easy to guess, it needs such a large amount of water, and it does not need any defense and long-term use of the function, you see the direction of these buildings." The tall and lanky man spoke, pointing out to us what he was going to show us.

The ovals of these boxes are hard for me to imagine as buildings, the thickness of the walls is not known, maybe it is just a wall, and the lines in the city are intricate, but under the guidance of the tall and thin man, we immediately noticed the strangeness.

Originally, I was still looking at the chaotic building plan, but when he pointed it out, it seemed to be connected together in a regular way, because at first I just looked at the whole, and the details of it were because I didn't think of its purpose at all, so I didn't know what it was for, but now I look at it, it is a road that connects these buildings of different shapes one by one.

"This is a production line, and the building closest to the water source is the adobe mixing workshop, where the clay that needs to be shaped is mixed and sent to the mold making workshop, and several interconnected molds may be different molds, and the adobe that has been dried will be sent to these kilns."

It is a few square buildings with some large curves, and now looking at the order of their arrangement, it is indeed like a kiln mouth for firing porcelain or pottery, and there are many buildings behind these kiln mouths, because there are many crafts for pottery and porcelain, we can only speculate about a general process, according to these processes, and the content of this floor plan is probably the same, maybe it is really as the thin man said, this is a kiln factory with a modern assembly line.

But on such a large scale, what is the purpose of firing so many pottery, just for use, I am afraid that it will fall when it runs out, which is more than enough.

I saw that the fat man didn't express his opinion for a long time, so I screamed in wonder, the fat man frowned, his face was serious, as if he was thinking about something, and when I dragged him back to reality, the fat man immediately said: "Grandma's, I know what this does, I said that I guessed correctly, this is a factory for the emperor to burn funeral goods." ”

It didn't seem like there would be any new results from the discussion, and our group of people went through all the speculations, and basically settled on a combination of the two guesses, the tall and thin man and the fat man. If this is an official kiln, its output is obvious, but the official kiln is generally in the official control area, and the area is an excellent place for transportation, so it is impossible to choose such a location, and the map is almost temporary. For the selection of the emperor's funeral goods, from ancient times to the end of the Qing Dynasty, it is almost a hodgepodge of various treasures and superb technical products, but this kind of task is generally not handed over to the production department on the surface, the first is the long distance, the tomb of the emperor will be the prime minister, the site is tricky, not only has excellent feng shui, but also has to prevent tomb robbers, so it is very common to put it in the mountains and bad waters in the inaccessible places.

In this way, there is a very troublesome thing, that is, the funeral goods and the materials for the construction of the ancient tomb project cannot be transported in, and the ordinary general is just the prince, and he will not move half of the treasury into it, but for the emperor and the supreme ruler who claims to be the Son of Heaven, even if it is a waste of money and labor, it must be done.

But there were always smart people, and in order to save some effort for themselves, the ministers in charge of the construction of the mausoleum simply moved the production line for the production of burial goods and building materials not far from the mausoleum. Some people may think that this is a stupider approach, but in fact, it is only when you see the magnificent panorama of the mausoleum with your own eyes that you will immediately understand that such a decision can save almost half of the effort.

The picture was taken away by Sister Er, after all, these things, we are not professional, we still have to show them to professional people. The fat man's so-called important thing is to let me see this picture that has been collected, he may think that I am still studying these things without bothering to bother, but I don't know how comfortable I have been living in the past six months, after learning this, I almost have an urge to leave for the return immediately, but the fat man said that it is better to wait a few days to figure it out than to go back in a daze, anyway, it will not delay time.

I'm a little worried about where I'm now, I've lost the fat man's heirloom, and this guy won't deliberately leave me behind to kill me for this.

After three days of extremely boring days, I finally saw Sister Er again, I didn't go anywhere, although this is the second time I have returned to the capital, but I really can't arouse the slightest interest.

The news brought by Sister Er was very unexpected to me, because there was so little information on this picture, so I didn't have much hope for the professionals that Er said, but the result was always the opposite of what I expected.

All the facilities and functions in the whole floor plan, even where the place is, those people have found it.

First of all, as we suspected, this is almost a large kiln with a production line, in which not only the pottery is fired, but also the large stones and bricks seem to be matched. The professional ones have confirmed, we naturally will not have any objections, the fat man will be regarded as relying on the back spectrum, and he really let him be right, this is a factory specializing in the production of burial goods for the mausoleum, but the scale is surprisingly large, the fat man teased at the beginning, saying that this will not be a place for mass production of terracotta warriors and horses, and those people speculated that such a large scale, almost only five years, can produce and fire terracotta figurines of the same size of terracotta warriors.

Who can use such a huge amount of human and material resources, just to put more things in their own mausoleum, this is a bit too exaggerated.

Putting that aside, the most shocking thing for me was that they were able to find out where the kiln was located. Such a sketchy diagram is hard for me to believe.

The location of the kiln factory is on the side of a certain section of the Yellow River on the Loess Plateau, and it is precisely because of that river that it is so easy for them to compare the approximate location of the kiln factory in the floor plan.

In fact, this is also a coincidence, the people visited by Sister Er are all experts who are proficient in the study of ancient maps, and one of them joked that this bend is a bit like the eighteen bends of the Yellow River after seeing so many bends in the river. The first innocuous sentence made several experts in the field of ancient maps casually compare the ancient road of the Yellow River with the river basin map before the diversion, and the result is naturally needless to say, when reading the records of the Yellow River basin at the end of the Qin Dynasty, there is a section that actually matches the bend on our plan, if it is just like, it is nothing, the expert enlarged the scale of the two maps to the same, and this river is almost completely overlapped. And those people also compared several nearby hills with an attitude of verification, and the results were of course completely consistent.

The fat man had already begun to gear up when he heard the news, this was the beauty difference with his appetite, and before Sister Er could say, he asked directly: "Big sister, we don't have to go." ”

"You don't want to go?" The fat man obviously pretended to be a little too much, and as soon as these words came out of Sister Er's mouth, the fat man almost stood up excitedly.

"Of course you have to go, but there aren't many of us anymore, and you know where the destination is, so you have to find a group of people by yourself, it's still the old rule, all you need is information and things related to events."

When the fat man heard this, the whole person became excited, and slapped his sister several times in the ear, this person has recognized this matter, and I also know that what he is thinking about must not be the broken kiln factory, since it is the end of Qin, more than 2,000 years, there are ruins that are estimated to have become earthen walls, and the fat man is eyeing which imperial mausoleum may not be too far from the kiln factory.
