The direction of the chiseled marks is the same, and the slope is from the bottom to the top, and it is not a coincidence, at least it means that the cornerstones were chiseled before they were piled up.

The surface of the tomb platform is carved flat and smooth, and the inconspicuous lines are not the slightest regular.

Then you can imagine the scene hundreds of years ago when one person, or several, or even a dozen people were chiseling and stacking stones.

At present, these stones are nearly one meter long, 50 centimeters wide, and more than 50 centimeters thick.

When such a large stone is chiseled, one side must be chiseled, and then the four sides of the side are chiseled without moving, and then turned over and carved this side flattening, and then piled up under the tomb as the cornerstone of the tomb.

Well, the first side, the one buried underneath, must have something chiseled, otherwise no stupid person would do this kind of thing of taking off his pants and farting.

After all, it's a big project.

Even with the modern level of science and technology, there are all kinds of advanced equipment and machinery, it will cost a lot of money, not to mention the Song Dynasty hundreds of years ago, and the people who built this ancient tomb will definitely find a way to save energy.

Based on the above analysis, it can be concluded that the side below these cornerstones must have been chiseled into something.

Wen Shuo straightened his waist, twisted his waist slightly, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and said his discovery and inference with a relaxed expression of smoke, and then said: "So, teacher, you can find them now, dig out all the foundation stones of this ancient tomb, and see what is underneath. ”

Yang Jingbin didn't dare to be careless, and after a careful inspection, he nodded and said, "As long as you are sure, that's fine." ”

Coming up from the grave, Yang Jingbin immediately contacted the head of the archaeological team and told about "his findings and speculations"

Although Yang Jingbin is still a front-line expert and professor in the national archaeological community, his opinions, the following archaeological experts and archaeological working groups, considering the cost and many other issues, cannot completely follow his opinions and instructions.

Moreover, there will naturally be some dissatisfaction in everyone's hearts.

The archaeological excavation work that was about to end, because you Yang Jingbin came, put forward some opinions, and then excavate again?

First, you need to spend more money, and in the end, there is no result, isn't it a waste?

Second, it doesn't matter if there will really be a discovery, the important thing is that if there is a discovery, then where will we put our face?

At more than nine o'clock, several experts and the person in charge of the local archaeological unit came to the scene to listen to Yang Jingbin's opinions and speculation, and to discuss whether it is necessary to excavate all the foundation stones of the tomb of Nuoda and investigate it in turn.

Professional archaeologists, after listening to Yang Jingbin's analysis, are of course willing to dig out the cornerstone immediately to see if there are runes underneath.

However, the head of the archaeological unit was not so happy.

"Professor Yang, although you have a point, it is unrealistic for you to want to start construction immediately. The person in charge looked helpless, but obviously a little impatient, and said: "The construction of this place has been delayed for a long time by the excavation of the ancient tomb, and the contractor has made huge sacrifices of interests, and we must also think about them." Besides, there is a serious shortage of archaeological funds, and now we have to increase the archaeological construction, which requires another application for funding from the higher authorities, and the construction will not be able to start for at least three days, and on what basis should we apply for funding again? It's just your speculation, can't you say it...... If there is no result, who will bear the responsibility?"

One of the experts shook his head and said: "Professor Yang, with all due respect, your speculation is not convincing enough, there has never been such a precedent, and there is not even a single record of this in the records of archaeological documents and historical classics. ”

"Yes, yes, there is no carving on the surface of the foundation stone of the tomb platform that can be used for reference, but the runes and patterns are carved underneath and buried in the soil, this, how is this possible?"

"Forget it, after all, the funds are limited, and this archaeology is nearing the end, and the funds are all used up......"

......

Listening to the prevarication words of the heads of these local units and experts, Wen Shuo, who just followed Professor Yang as a student, couldn't help but pout.

Just now, these experts echoed Professor Yang's opinion and wanted to find out with great interest.

As a result, as soon as the person in charge opened his mouth to talk about funding and responsibility, he immediately changed his tone.

However, this also can't blame them, after all, it involves vital interests, everyone can't compare to Yang Jingbin, a professor at Jingcheng University and an expert from a national archaeological unit, where is the archaeological excavation, the funds are more than enough, and there is an identity there, what is responsible or not, where is the absolute success of archaeology?

There are times when you lose money when you are trading.

But it's a different place.

Nowadays, the social economy is improving rapidly, all walks of life in the country are developing rapidly, and everyone is putting the economy first.

Archaeology, that's a matter at the national level.

What do localities do when they think about things that don't make sense and don't bring economic benefits quickly?

Yang Jingbin will not think of many practical problems like Wen Shuo, and he doesn't understand why these people don't support him, but they have to drag their feet.

Archaeological work is so important that they can withhold the problem of funding?

Hopelessly!

It's a shame for archaeologists!

Yang Jingbin said with a straight face: "I'm responsible!"

Get!

With his words, several professional archaeologists immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the joy in their expressions could not be concealed.

They all wanted to dig up all the tombs according to Yang Jingbin's idea.

Now that Professor Yang is in charge, wouldn't that be perfect?!

However, the leader of the archaeological unit frowned and said, "Okay, I'll go back and write the application report, and ask Professor Yang to also write a report and sign it later, and apply for funding from the superiors, and we don't have a penny now." ”

"No problem. Yang Jingbin agreed and said, "How long will it take?"

"If it's fast, it's three or five days, if it's slow, it's ......"

Wen Shuo was already impatient, who had the spare time to delay here? He frowned and interjected: "If you still apply for this, you have to delay for a few days, is it worth it?"

"Heh, this classmate is generous. The leader snorted coldly: "The declaration of any funds needs to go through the examination and approval procedure, otherwise it will not be messed up? Taxpayers' money cannot be spent indiscriminately, do you understand?"

"We don't have that much time. Wen Shuo frowned and said, "Can our working group pay it first, and then make up for it when the application comes down." ”

"Advance?" the leader smiled: "You will advance?"

Wen Shuo's heart was so angry that he immediately glared at him and said, "Cheng, I'll pay in advance, let's talk about it, how much can it cost?!"

Everyone was stunned.

Well, this white and chubby student brought by Professor Yang Jingbin is very rich.

What a big breath!

Yang Jingbin was also quite happy in his heart, and immediately said: "Director Li, how much money do you need under the budget, my students will pay it first, let's hurry up and explore, and after the application for funds is applied, we will return it to him." ”

This Director Li was defeated by Wen Shuo, and he suddenly became more and more unhappy, but he was not good at attacking, so he had to sneer and say: "According to the financial expenses of our usual archaeological working group, the average is about 8,000 yuan per day. If you want to excavate the foundation stone of the tomb, you need to use large equipment and hire at least five migrant workers...... The excavation and the subsequent clean-up will take at least two days. If we have to transport these cornerstones away and put them somewhere for preservation and research......"

Wen Shuo was a little dazed.

Need so much money?!

Director Li continued: "Forget it, let's talk about it later, pay two days' expenses first, and twenty-five thousand should be about the same." ”

"This, this is too expensive, isn't it?" Wen Shuo couldn't help but ask.

"Expensive?" Director Li almost laughed.

Several experts and Yang Jingbin were also a little confused for a while - when they usually participated in on-site archaeological excavations, they just worked with one mind, how could they ever consider how much money to spend?

Director Li said: "Food, accommodation, and subsidies for each staff member all need money!"

Wen Shuo, who was surprised, thought about it for a while, and understood that the cost of archaeological excavation would indeed not be low, and this was still a small tomb excavation, and if it was replaced by the excavation of a large ancient tomb, the funds needed would be more.

Emotional archaeology is also burning money!

Wen Shuo scratched his head, he really wanted to say, we can save money, such as disbanding the archaeological working group and inviting the personnel and experts away, so that subsidies, food and lodging can save a lot of money, but this kind of thing is really unspeakable and unrealistic.

Fortunately, the money will always be returned to him.

So the fat man muttered in pain, "Okay, I, I'll go get the money...... Director Li, remember to apply for funding and return the money to me as soon as possible. ”

He didn't have much money in the bank, only more than 60,000 yuan.

This is still the fat man who picks the door, usually thrifty and does not spend indiscriminately, and deducts the hard-earned salary money.

Director Li was stunned, he didn't expect this college student to really come up with so much money immediately.

"Okay, then I'll arrange it. Director Li turned around and called a driver to accompany Wen Shuo to the bank to withdraw money.

Immediately, Director Li ordered the arrangement to go down, and the excavation work began immediately.

Because Wen Shuo, a student, was generalized, and in the end, Professor Yang Jingbin from the capital, this face has to be enough.

So the funding has been secured, and the efficiency of the archaeological working group is quite high.

When Wen Shuo returned to the archaeological site after taking the money, he found that a crane had been brought in, along with five workers who had come with the crane.

All the members of the archaeological team are also in place.

Wan Chenghe, the contractor of the construction site where the ancient tomb is located, originally planned to come to the site today to communicate with the archaeological working group, bury the ancient tomb, and then hurry up to start construction...... How much does it cost to delay a day?!
