Chapter 513: Strange Ancient Tomb
In the past, when investing in opening a store and doing business, the fat man paid the most attention to efficiency, and on the premise of ensuring quality, it must be fast, the faster the better.
Invest!
Opening early and making money early is king!
Only this time in the matter of opening a branch in Zhonghai Jiang'an District, he hopes that the pace will be slower, and the longer the negotiation and promotion of all aspects in the early stage, the less financial pressure on the company's side, after all, Internet cafes, online schools, and software companies are constantly making money.
There is no profit from the fast food restaurant, and he doesn't think about it for the time being, because the money in the fast food restaurant's accounts has already been used.
After returning to China Shipping, he held meetings repeatedly to discuss with the heads of various departments, and set up a temporary team to be responsible for negotiations and communication with Shuoyuan Holding Company and Shuoyuan Network Technology Training School, and to implement and promote the establishment of the branch.
Meeting with Jin Wen in the capital, a few days after a brief communication, Wen Shuo took a plane to Tonghai City in the Minhai region with Professor Yang Jinbin, but just got off the plane and received a call from Jin Chirui before he got out of the airport.
Jiang'an District has basically passed the Shuoyuan Network Technology Training School and established a branch school in Jiang'an District.
At present, the person in charge has already discussed the issue of site selection with Jin Chirui.
In this way, Jin Chirui didn't dare to delay a little, and hurriedly called Wen Shuo, but after several times he couldn't get through, he called the company again and reported to Skullcap Zhi and Yanyun.
In this case, Jin Chirui can't make his own decisions.
Huang Qinzhi and Yan Yun said that they would discuss it immediately, and at the same time informed Jin Wen of the arrival time of Wen Shuo's flight, so that he could report to Wen Shuo.
After listening to Jin Chirui's report, Wen Shuo thought for a while, and then said: "Jiang'an District has provided a few sites, you go to see it first, understand the general situation of each place, and then send me an email, I will stay here in Tonghai City for two or three days, and then go to Zhonghai." ”
"Okay, then I'll confirm with the person in charge here that you will arrive in Zhonghai in about three days. ”
"Hmm. ”
Hanging up the phone, Wen Shuo scratched his head, thinking sadly, it seemed that he really had to borrow money.
Outside the airport, people from a local archaeological unit drove to pick them up, and the teachers and students drove for more than half an hour to a construction site located in the southeast of Tonghai City, just more than 100 meters away from the outer ring road.
Construction is underway in the vicinity, and there are many buildings that have just been completed.
As in the vast majority of the country, the economic boom has contributed to the expansion of cities into the surrounding areas.
On the outer ring road, there are a large number of freight trucks speeding in and out of various construction sites.
The construction site where Wen Shuo and Yang Jingbin arrived has now been suspended. Because during the construction, an ancient tomb buried in the ground was accidentally found in the southwest corner of the construction site, and the construction party hurriedly reported to the higher authorities, so the construction site was stopped.
Listening briefly to the introduction of the archaeologists who received them, Wen Shuo thought about the discovery of an ancient tomb, and the developers, builders and contractors in charge of this place were also unlucky.
At present, the main body of the ancient tomb has been completely excavated and developed, covering a small area, about 15 meters long from east to west, and about 10 meters long from north to south.
Although the ancient tomb is small, it also has a north and south ear chamber, a main tomb chamber, and a tomb road.
Many scattered stones were found in the surrounding area, including stone tablets, lintel stones, and large pieces of rubble that could be seen to be the vaulted tomb roof, sealing walls, and tomb doors, but they had all been destroyed to the point of not being presentable. The main structure is fairly intact, with a rectangular coffin stone in the center of the burial chamber, surrounded by drainage ditches, and crooked niches carved with delicate patterns.
The coffin had been shattered and thrown there, and it had no archaeological value.
The archaeological excavation of this ancient tomb has been basically completed, according to the structure of the tomb, some cultural relics unearthed, it can be concluded that it is the ancient tomb of the Song Dynasty, the tomb owner should be a relative status in the local area, or the family conditions are good, there can be such a tomb after death.
The destruction of this ancient tomb is not caused by construction, but a long time ago, this tomb was bulldozed, destroyed and buried underground, until it is now discovered.
Wen Shuo and Yang Jingbin walked down the stairs dug out of the edge of the grave, carefully observing the rubble that had been sorted out and had not yet been removed.
On the large pieces of gravel, you can clearly see the carvings of flowers, birds, fish, insects, and beasts.
While observing the carvings on the stones, Wen Shuo and Yang Jing focused on whether there were rune-like electrical patterns.
But after a long period of inspection, no runes were found.
Yang Jingbin asked the staff next to him about the location of the square bronze tripod, and told Wen Shuo in surprise that the bronze tripod was found in the coffin.
Wen Shuo couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this.
The bronze tripod is not big, the height is only fifty centimeters in total, and the side length is forty centimeters, if you don't count the tripod, the tripod body is a cube shape, the thickness of the tripod wall is three centimeters, and it is carved full of runes, not inscriptions.
Of course, in the eyes of almost all archaeologists, those runes are inscriptions.
The bronze tripod is buried in a coffin, which is too strange.
If he hadn't known in advance that the broken coffin had found the broken bones of the tomb owner, Wen Shuo would have suspected that this tomb was purely for the burial of this bronze tripod.
It was nearly evening.
Wen Shuo immediately walked to the edge of the tomb platform in the center of the tomb, and his gloved hands kept looking at the broken coffin wood pieces, but because it had been too long, and the wooden coffin itself was not easy to preserve, and the tomb had been destroyed almost devastating a long time ago, so the broken wood pieces of the coffin, even if there were some carvings, lacquer paintings, etc., had long been extinguished.
However, the runes on the square bronze tripod, as well as the anomaly of its placement in the coffin to accompany the tomb owner to the burial, filled Wen Shuo with curiosity and a desire to explore.
He didn't give up, and carefully examined every detail.
Yang Jingbin also stepped forward to help carefully find clues that might remain on the fragments of the coffin.
The archaeological staff next to him saw that the teachers and students were so persistent, showing helplessness and boredom, it was time to get off work, and the teachers and students from the capital continued to investigate so intently, first, to delay everyone's time, and secondly, it seemed to look down on the archaeologists on our side, for fear that we would neglect some details in our work?
"Professor Yang, it's getting late, why don't you come back tomorrow?" the staff said patiently and softly.
The archaeological excavation of this ancient tomb has been almost completed, so today, in addition to the staff who protect the ancient tomb site, archaeological professionals have basically left the ancient tomb early and returned to study the small number of unearthed artifacts.
The next step is nothing more than cleaning up the site, this ancient tomb has been destroyed and has no value for preservation.
The original plan was that after Professor Yang's teachers and students came, he would directly take them to the Municipal Museum to inspect and study the unearthed cultural relics temporarily stored there.
The staff had to send teachers and students here.
Yang Jingbin hesitated slightly, and said to Wen Shuo, who was squatting on the ground and carefully observing the fragments of the coffin: "It's late, let's go to the residence first, and come back tomorrow." ”
"I'll take another look. Wen Shuo said without raising his head.
He had a feeling that he would soon find some clues, so he didn't want to leave there, otherwise the unclear thought in his mind might disappear.
Yang Jingbin reminded: "The staff also has to get off work." ”
"Huh?" Wen Shuo came back to his senses, although his heart was full of reluctance, and even a kind of annoyance after being interrupted, but on the surface, he still showed an apologetic expression, got up to the front of the staff, and then left the ancient tomb together.
The archaeological unit of Tonghai City has booked a few rooms in an ordinary hotel near the museum to provide temporary accommodation for experts from the province and from other places.
In the evening, the person in charge of the city's archaeological unit also held a banquet for Yang Jingbin, Wen Shuo, and several other experts who have not left since the excavation of the ancient tomb.
At the banquet, Wen Shuo rarely looked like a well-behaved student, and he only listened to it but didn't say it.
From the discussions of these experts, he learned that the tomb was small in scale and had been damaged by unknown circumstances, and that not many artifacts remained, except for a few copper coins, a copper mirror, and two pieces of porcelain, as well as several wooden lacquer plates and lacquer bowls of varying degrees of damage.
These cultural relics are more common in the ancient tombs unearthed in the Song Dynasty, and there is nothing unusual.
Only the bronze tripod, because it is placed in the coffin, this is relatively rare, and the bronze tripod style is unique, and the inscription experts on it can not be understood, so after contacting the capital, it was sent to the research institute of Beijing University and studied by the experts.
Meal.
Several experts invited Professor Yang Jingbin to a small conference room specially set aside for them in the hotel to discuss and exchange ideas.
Wen Shuo naturally followed.
In the conference room, there were no idle people, all of them were experts, and everyone no longer hid them, and openly asked Professor Yang for the runes on the bronze tripod.
It turned out that after several experts saw the runes that looked like inscriptions but were not inscriptions, they immediately thought of Professor Yang Jingbin, who had studied the runes of ancient tomb relics in China in the past two years, so they decided to send the bronze tripod to Beijing University.
Now that Yang Jingbin has come to Tonghai City, of course, everyone can't miss this opportunity to ask for advice.
Yang Jingbin answered everyone's questions seriously, told about the runes on the bronze tripod, and frankly told him that the current research on runes is also very shallow, although he knows a lot of runes, but when such runes are combined, he doesn't know what they are for. And because the cultural relics are often old, the runes on it will inevitably be incomplete, the so-called difference is thousands of miles, and the research time on the runes on the bronze tripod is too short, and he has no results for the time being.
However, several experts were not too disappointed, and being able to discuss and communicate with Yang Jingbin was a rare opportunity in itself.
Wen Shuo listened to the side and also benefited a lot.
At the same time, he was also secretly wondering, what is the identity of the owner of the tomb, what is the purpose of the bronze tripod that seems to be used for refining medicine, and what is the purpose of placing it in the coffin?
