Until the results of the dating of the artifacts come out, everything is speculation.

However, this is a well-developed pre-merchant culture, and there is absolutely no problem.

According to its geographical location, archaeologists named it 'Caogou Village Ruins'.

The area of the first phase of excavation alone is as high as 400,000 square meters, nearly half of which are furnace smelting and pottery workshops.

There is no doubt that there are so many production workshops that the excavation of pottery, bronze and bronze is like a blowout!

Judging by the number of existing bronze weapons alone, it is possible to arm at least an army of five thousand people!

This is simply impossible, plus the excavated stone axes and stone spears, it is completely possible to match an army of three thousand to six thousand servants.

What kind of force does it need?

It was simply an ordnance production center at that time!

Nine days after the discovery of the Caogou Village site, the C14 test results finally came out.

The city was founded between 2,900 BC and 2,500 BC.

Most of the bronzes date from about 2,600 BC. As for the stone tools, it is clearly much older, around 3,000 to 2,800 BC.

In other words, bronze technology was gradually developed after the establishment of the city, and within 100 years before the city was flooded, it was significantly higher than the later Taosi ruins.

Among them, it was also found that the city was flooded twice!

The first flood was about 2,500 BC and the second was 2,000 BC.

The time when it was covered with sediment can be directly calculated accurately, that is, 2000 BC.

In this way, it can already be determined that the site is more advanced than the Taosi site in the Tang Yao period, and the technical level is no less than the Erlitou site in the Xia Dynasty, and even from the perspective of productivity, it is more powerful!

On the eve of the destruction of the ancient city, bronze technology reached its peak at the same time.

The time is about 2,500 BC to 2,600 BC, which is most likely the time of the Zhuan Xuan.

For a time, the archaeological community set off an uproar, because there were too many cultural relics unearthed, and many were buried under deeper sediment, so relevant archaeological teams from all over the country began to gather in Xinzheng.

The filming team of the documentary channel also immediately went to Xinzheng, intending to record the whole excavation process.

Archaeologists speculate that this is the ruins of Zhurong during the Zhuan period.

Because of the flood, this smelting city was destroyed and abandoned, so there was a big regression in bronze technology!

As a result, the culture has changed, and there has been a bifurcation.

Part of the cultural core transitioned to the later Tang Yu period culture, and another part of the cultural core, such as the bronze god tree, was carried forward in Shu and went to another treacherous road.

The cultures of the Central Plains and Shu became more and more distinct, and it was not until the Qin Dynasty that they were unified.

Of course, this is only a hypothesis.

Strictly speaking, it can only be called 'Caogou Village Culture', and in terms of type, it belongs to the early stage of Longshan Culture and Sanxingdui Culture.

There is also no evidence that this is related to Zhuan, the so-called ruins of Zhurong.

However, posts such as "Discovering the Ruins of Zhurong, an Ancient Ordnance Town" and "Flooding the City in Ancient Times, Zhurong and the Gonggong War" have begun to appear in the forums of archaeological enthusiasts.

Many history majors are starting to talk about it.

I think this is where the 'Gonggong War Zhurong' takes place.

The ruins of Zhurong were flooded? and it happened twice? The second time happened to be the time period when Dayu controlled the water, so it should be just a natural disaster.

But what about the first time? Is it possible that the levee has burst man-made?

5,000 years ago, the Liangzhu culture had perfect reservoir facilities, and the water conservancy project in the Zhuan period should have been very developed, and the geographical location of the site was very low, and it was not difficult to flood the whole city.

"The Gonggong clan burst the embankment, flooded Zhurong country, and turned it into the ruins of Zhurong, which may be the prototype of Zhurong's war. ”

"Strictly speaking, it is a myth and legend, and historical documents record that only Zhuan Xuan and the Gonggong clan fought for the emperor, and the Gonggong led the water to flood the people. ”

"So Zhu Rong is Zhu Rong?"

"Obviously, Zhu Rong and Gonggong are both clan positions, and before Zhuan Xuan became emperor, he was definitely not a commoner, and he must hold an extremely important position. This Zhurong's position is just right, under one person, above 10,000 people, and there are only co-workers at the same level. When he was still the 'Minister of Defense', he had a fight with the Gonggong clan, and finally won the victory and became the emperor!"

"It's really awesome, Zhu Rong is crazy about making weapons, and Gonggong directly opens the floodgates and releases water, flooding the Seventh Army. In this case, how did Zhu Rong win?"

"Lose the hearts and minds of the people! Gonggong may win a small victory, but Zhu Rong will definitely not lose, because the Gonggong clan, who is in charge of water conservancy, actually broke the embankment and drowned the people.

"Yes, there is no ordnance and no army, but there are still people, and if a joint effort can flood one city, can it also flood ten cities? Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world!"

The forum chatted and flew, and in their opinion, this was another ancient legend verified by archaeological discoveries.

Of course, there is still no evidence, and the text has not been found, let alone pointing to the existence of this person.

The ruins have been so badly eroded that all that remains for future generations is this terrifying scale and countless mysteries.

......

Nine days have passed since the last time the ancient city was dug up.

As early as two days ago, Huang Ji completely cured his grandfather, and finally got a wish.

At this point, the sky is high and the birds are flying, and Huang Ji has to concentrate on the affairs of aliens and concentrate on development.

At this moment, he has already arrived in Luoyang, not to mention Luoyang, the archaeologists of the entire Henan Province have gathered in the ruins of Zhurong.

Luoyang Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, only some young staff remained.

However, Huang Ji still did not go directly to the research institute, but wandered around the antique street in Luoyang.

With his eyesight, it is clear what is a fake and what is genuine.

After visiting several stores in a row, the people in the big stores sold him the treasures in the store, but Huang Ji didn't buy anything after a review.

When the store was done, he walked around the stall again.

Someone at the stall recommended antiques to him, but after Huang Ji commented, he still didn't buy anything.

There were also people who came over with fakes, and Huang Ji pointed out the flaws on the spot.

More than two hours passed like this, and Huang Ji didn't buy anything.

"Big brother, what kind of antiques are you going to buy?" Lin Li asked.

Huang Ji said: "Cheap antiques. ”

Lin Li was moved: "Big brother, you finally know how to save money!"

For Huang Ji's plan, he went to buy 12.5 kilograms of gold, and their cash flow was running out at this time.

Huang Ji smiled: "It's better to ...... for free"

Lin Li was stunned, he didn't understand what it meant, how could there be a free antique?

They walked around again, and Huang Ji suddenly said a little louder: "Brother, what about our five million?"

Lin Li was stunned and said, "Didn't you buy gold?"

Huang Ji nodded and said, "Oh, how did you buy gold? Although gold retains its value, antiques have appreciated better these years!"

"......" Lin Li didn't speak, and after cooperating many times, he could already hear that Huang Ji was deliberately lying.

The gold was clearly said to be bought early in the morning, but now that he suddenly asked, he naturally didn't really ask him.

"This brother is right!" said a man on the street, apparently hearing it, and suddenly approached him.

Lin Li glanced at him, and said expressionlessly: Yes, here it is.

Huang Ji said unceremoniously: "Who are you?"

"Haha, just call me White Tiger, I appreciate my brother's vision, is my brother planning to buy antiques?" The man was slightly chubby and smiling.

"Nonsense, am I here for a walk?" Huang Ji said very impulsively.

But the white tiger didn't mind at all, and still smiled: "Do you want to go to my house to have a look?" The old man is a collector, and there are a bunch of bottles and cans at home, all of which are old objects, go and palm your eyes?"

Huang Ji looked at him and smiled, "Okay." ”

"Just in the courtyard in front, follow me!" the man led Huang Ji and Lin Li into the deep alley.

There was a courtyard door in the deep alley, and the man knocked on the door, only to see someone inside asking, "Who?"

The white tiger said: "Hairy monkey, it's me, open the door." ”

With a crunch, the door opened, and the white tiger led Huang Ji inside.

Lin Li paused, but still followed, only to see that the person inside was thin and tall, like a bamboo pole.

Huang Ji looked around, and as soon as he walked into the hall, he saw bottles and jars all over the ground, some of which were painted pottery, some were porcelain, and even bronze.

Some are quaint, others are extremely elaborate.

Huang Ji leaned down first and carefully touched each one, especially a bronze mirror, which he looked at for an extra minute.

Then Huang Ji stood up and smiled: "That's it?"

Baihu smiled: "Okay, it seems that I can't hide it from my brother, in fact, I don't understand, it's all collected by the old man at home, after the old man leaves, I feel that it should be worth it, and I don't love this, so I want to take it out and sell it all." ”

"Have you identified it?" asked Huang Ji.

Baihu shook his head and said: "I took out a porcelain to identify, and the appraisal fee cost 40,000, and then said that it was only a Song Dynasty kiln, which is very common, and the highest bid was only 100,000...... Where do you make sense?"

Huang Ji tilted his head and said, "Ah, is the appraisal fee so expensive? You won't be cheated, right?"

The hairy monkey said on the side: "Isn't it? So I said that I should not identify it at all, and sell it all wholesale." ”

"One hundred thousand, four million in total, if you like it, take it all!" Bai Hu said.

Huang Ji smiled: "There's a fake in here, right?"

Baihu shook his head and said: "I don't know, I don't understand this, if you want to know the goods, you can buy them, if you don't believe in your eyesight, then forget it, I'll wait for the goods." ”

Huang Ji swept his eyes and said, "This, this, this...... And this one, it's all fakes, and you dare to sell it for 100,000?"

He proudly ordered more than a dozen fakes, all of which were modern craftsmanship.

The hairy monkey on the side saw that Huang Ji easily pointed out the fake, his eyes lit up, and he didn't speak.

The white tiger said blankly: "Huh, don't lie to me?"

"What am I lying to you for? I don't want any of these fakes. Huang Ji said.

White Tiger asked, "What about the rest?"

"I'll take a look at ......" Huang Ji pretended to taste it again, and then said disgustedly: "This porcelain vase is a fake...... This teapot is also a fake......"

After he said a few more things in a row that were fakes, Bai Hu directly interrupted: "Don't say it! Are you going to say that they are all fakes?"

"There are still genuine ......," Huang Ji said with a smile.

Baihu said in disbelief: "I can pick a piece of porcelain to appraise it for identification, how can it be so many fakes?

The hairy monkey shouted in the back: "Anyway, one hundred thousand yuan, sold wholesale, if you want it, don't pull it down!"

Huang Ji pondered for a moment, glanced at the bronze mirror, and had no choice but to say, "Okay, but I don't have cash, can I do gold?"

"My brother, I've exchanged all my money for gold bars. ”

Of course, the white tiger knew, and he had heard that Huang Ji had gold bars worth five million.

Anyway, gold is very good to exchange for money, so he nodded and said, "Gold is also fine......

"Okay, my brother and I went to drive and get the money. Huang Ji said goodbye and left with Lin Li.

After the two left, the hairy monkey leaned on the wall and looked out, and after seeing Huang Ji walking away, he came back and said to the white tiger: "Brother Tiger, the Flying Immortal Pattern Inscription Mirror is really sold for four million?"

The white tiger knocked on the hairy monkey's brain melon and said, "What else do you want? Don't be too greedy, you can't take it to the store to sell it, right? Anyway, there is no capital to buy and sell, mixed with a bunch of fakes, sell it for four million, it's enough." ”

"We finally met someone who was knowledgeable and rich, and we were lucky. ”
