The sun was very strong, and the snow was dripping, dripping down the corners of the eaves, splashing on the ground.

The air was much better, but it was windy, wet and cool, and there were few tourists in the central square.

Several girls took pictures around the bronze statue of Genghis Khan at the entrance of the Cultural Palace, and asked Li Ding'an to help.

Anyway, it was idle, Li Dingan did not refuse and took the camera.

Yu Huiyin also came over: "College students?" ”

"Yes, I'm still a top student at a national university!"

"That leather robe is so pretty?"

"I'll buy you a set when I go!"

Yu Huiyin squinted his eyes and smiled: "Okay! ”

As soon as the words fell, it was dark in front of the camera.

The Mongolian girl who asked him for help blocked the camera: "You Chinese (Mongolian)? ”

Li Dingan smiled: "Yes! ”

"Oh!"

The girl nodded faintly and took the camera.

Don't shoot anymore?

The two looked at each other, Yu Huiyin grinned and covered his face: "Don't be angry! ”

What am I angry about?

After more than half a month, I have long been accustomed to it: for example, on the street or in a hotel, when I hear them speak Chinese, the locals will always look at them strangely.

For another example, when going out to eat, Li Ding'an often chats with the boss, and the conversation was very good at first, but as soon as Yu Huiyin or Shu Jing spoke Chinese, the topic was immediately stopped.

Then eight times out of ten, at the end of the checkout, it was two or three times more expensive than on the Mongolian menu.

I don't know who said that: people here only like Chinese money in their pockets...... Li Ding'an felt that it made sense.

Seeing that he was not in high spirits, Yu Huiyin grabbed his arm again: "Are you hungry, do you want to eat?" ”

"Wait!" Li Dingan looked at his watch, "It's almost twelve o'clock, and Director Wang is about to come out!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Yu Huiyin pointed to the Cultural Palace: "Look? ”

Wang Yongqian and the counselor walked out of the Cultural Palace.

Li Dingan hurriedly greeted him: "How is it?" ”

The counselor shook his head: "Not ideal! ”

What does it mean?

Wang Yongqian sighed: "The National Museum, the Academy of Science, the National University, and the University of Ulaanbaatar all have archaeological projects, and they can't be assigned for the time being. ”

Anyway, it's also a national-level research institution, and none of them can distinguish people, and none of them can distinguish people?

After a little thought, Li Ding'an understood: the scale of the site is too small, and there is only one place, the key is that the age is too close, and people really don't look down on it.

For example, the joint excavation of Ulaanbaatar University and Henan Museum, located in the No. 2 cemetery of Gaole Maodu in Houaihang Province: there are more than 100 tombs, and the number of proven tombs is more than 570, and most of them are large tombs from the Warring States period to the Han Dynasty.

And there are more than a dozen such sites in Mongolia. Compared with it, it is just a site of the Yuan Dynasty, and people really don't pay attention to it.

The bottom line is that Feng Shui sites don't add much to their history, culture and influence, so they are not taken seriously.

"Can you contact the Henan Museum, we can also be attached?"

"I contacted, but their excavation and research plan for coming to Mongolia this year is in June, and the Cultural Relics Bureau has already approved it, so it's not good to temporarily add projects, and it's too late to add another one!"

It is really too late: they only came in June, and only after they came could they submit their applications to the Mongolian Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Academy of Sciences, and it would take more than three or four months just to approve the project, and the project would not be established until about October at the earliest.

At that time, it was the freezing period of Mongolia, and what a fart?

Li Dingan sighed: "Then what should I do?" ”

The Counsellor thought for a moment: "There is only one way: to settle for the next best thing and cooperate with local institutions in Mongolia, such as the former Hangzhou Ai Provincial Branch of the National University!" ”

Provincial branches?

It sounds like a province, but the population is only 1230,000, and it is only a town in the south of the country, and the population of a small county in the northwest is only a small county, so how big can the school be?

The ability to investigate and research may not be as good as that of Tongliao.

"It's just a provincial branch, not to mention the level of investigation and research, can the passage and logistics be guaranteed?"

"This may need to be coordinated by ourselves, and it is nothing more than spending a little more money."

Seems like that's all it takes?

Li Ding'an exhaled: "Then as soon as possible: prepare a few more cars with better performance, including logistics vehicles, and then invite a few experts in history and ancient geography from the capital, try to be as professional as possible, if the funds are not enough, you tell me, I will find a way to ......"

This is for the country's inspection, how can Li Ding'an's money be spent?

Wang Yongqian nodded: "Don't worry!" ”

……

A week later, the delegation set off for 30 days.

The weather was ok and the visibility was good. Out of the city, the mountains are full of colorful houses, Yu Huiyin and Shu Jing are good at the car window, and they look at it with relish.

After getting into the car, Li Ding'an began to sleep, and I don't know how long it took, Yu Huiyin stabbed him: "Li Ding'an, look, what a big mountain?" ”

He subconsciously opened his eyes: the grassland was dry and yellow, and a huge dragon rose from the ground.

The mountains are majestic, the peaks are stacked, and the ups and downs are magnificent.

The river rolls down and winds its way north, and I don't know where it is going.

Hangai Mountain, Orkhon River...... Coming to the place?

He looked at his watch: from the time it appeared to the present, it will be four hours.

Turning off the road and walking for about half an hour on the dirt road, an ancient city gradually became clear: Hala and Lin.

Of course, newly built.

The original ruins were completely destroyed during the Soviet era: bricks and stone foundations were torn down to build houses, then releveled and reclaimed for farmland.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, UNESCO carried out a salvage restoration, and as a result, the team walked on the front foot, and the herders on the back foot dismantled the bricks and tiles to build a sheepfold.

In the new century, Mongolia slowly paid attention to it, and with the financial support of China, Japan, Germany and other countries, it renovated some ruins, built a museum, and made some protective measures.

A few years ago, Mongolia planned to follow China's example in industrial transformation and to develop tourism vigorously, and plans to rebuild the capitals of Hala and Lingu were put back on the agenda.

But so far, it is still in the planning stage. The key is two words: lack of money......

Accompanied by officials from the Department of Education, Science and Technology and the Department of Foreign Affairs, the locals were quite enthusiastic, and arranged for the delegation to be held at the Hala and Linsumu Forest Farms, and also sent a dinner party.

Li Ding'an took a general look: more than a dozen brick houses and seven or eight wooden houses can be used as temporary camps during the inspection.

At least it's better than the tent dweller.

I ate a little at noon, and then took Yu Huiyin to the ancient city for a spin, and when I came back, the sun was already in the west.

There are still a few cars in the yard, a bonfire in the middle, the whole sheep is roasted and oily, and there is a small oven next to it, and two aunts are grilling lamb skewers.

The kitchen was filled with fog and the smell of pilaf was faintly heard.

At the round table sat seven or eight people: two officials, two Mongolian professors, two Hala and Lin's Sumuda (township chief), and the forest farm director and translator.

With hands on the table and two boxes of Wuliangye and a few empty bottles at their feet, Wang Yongqian and Secretary Liu were full of red faces, and they estimated that they had drunk a lot.

He picked up a handful of barbecue meat and took a sip: "Director Wang, where are the people from the national branch?" ”

"I said I wasn't ready yet, and I won't be there until tomorrow morning!"

No...... It's all agreed in advance, meet today, investigate tomorrow?

Besides, it's been a week of preparation......

Wang Yongqian gave him another look: "Wait a minute!" ”

Li Ding'an understood it, and didn't say much: "Okay!" ”

As a result, I waited until the morning of the third day.

Wang Yongqian kept calling and called five or six.

"What's going on?"

"It was said that the prepared vehicle was broken and the vehicle is being redeployed!"

"It's not far, it's only a hundred kilometers, and there aren't a lot of people, can you use our car to pick it up?"

"You can't pick it up every day, can you?"

Every day, every day...... Well?

Wang Yongqian was silent, and Li Dingan suddenly understood: Want money?

He thought for a while: "Who wants this money, public or private?" ”

"Both!"

Good guys, eat it all up?

Well, isn't that right?

Yesterday morning, when the two officials were leaving, Secretary Liu was at the door of the car, as if he had stuffed something for them. I didn't pay attention to it at the time, and I felt like it was green.

"You also gave money to those two yesterday?"

"You don't care!"

"How much was sent?"

Wang Yongqian glared at him.

Fan Rong was next to him and quietly gave him a finger.

Can this still be a thousand?

At least $10,000.

To convert: more than 70,000 yuan for one person, which is equivalent to the salary of a local civil servant for two years...... And it's all over when you send it here from the capital?

Thinking of Wang Yongqian's dim appearance in the morning, Li Dingan felt that he couldn't respond to it: a dignified department-level cadre, come here to suffer this wretchedness?

"Back!"

"Where?"

"Of course it's to go back to China, where else can I go back?"

"What are you gambling on? When I came, I said okay: I am responsible for external coordination, and I just need to do a good job of investigation and research. ”

"I'm not angry, I just think that just by coordinating, it's 20,000 US dollars, how much more will I have later?"

"Use your brain." Wang Yongqian glared at him, "Why don't you count, how long has it been since we came to the official inspection, and how big is this project?" ”

Li Dingan thought about it and gasped.

If you put it in China, you have to be at the ministerial level, and at a normal speed, it will take three months to half a year from submitting materials to being approved.

What's more, it's still Mongolia here, half a month...... Riding a rocket?

I don't complain about this scolding.

"How much did you spend?"

"You don't inquire!"

Wang Yongqian patted him on the shoulder and said in a long voice, "Remember, this is the outside: what can be solved with money, then it is not called a thing!" ”

Hey...... It feels so reasonable, I'm speechless?

Li Ding'an fluttered his eyelids: "You don't dare to accept a case of wine for you during the New Year?" ”

"Nonsense, can it be the same? You don't care anymore...... I'll get back in touch tomorrow morning, and if it doesn't work, I'll have to go to the provincial capital. ”

"Another gift?"

"It's all said that you don't care!"

"Then take me, and you can rise the world anyway!"

Wang Yongqian didn't speak, looking him up and down.

Li Dingan understood in seconds, and the "bang" on his chest sounded: "Don't worry, I will never cause trouble, just take a look!" ”

After thinking about it, Wang Yongqian nodded: "Yes!" ”
