The shrubs in the valley on the back side of Shuangji Peak have been cleared and extended to the entrance of the valley, so that there is no need to fly in and out by helicopter.
"Yan Ju, how many cultural relics have been unearthed so far?"
"There are more than 500 items in total, but apart from gold, silver and jade, no other precious cultural relics have been found."
Yan Qijun has been shining brightly these past two days, and many superiors are paying attention to his work progress. But the real reason is the existence of Li Mo. After all, he has other important things to do in the blessed land this time, and searching for the mystery of Emperor Jianwen's life and death is probably just for fun.
"Emperor Jianwen was fleeing for his life, not moving. Naturally, what he could bring with him were gold, silver and jade articles that were easy to carry. However, this also shows that there must be a secret cave hiding treasure near Shuangji Peak."
Secret cave?
Yan Qijun was most happy when he heard this word. He could dig up hundreds of cultural relics just by digging around. If there were really secret caves, more antique cultural relics might be hidden. Judging from the number of cultural relics unearthed so far, a small museum can be established. If the treasure of the museum can be discovered, that will naturally be the best result.
However, Doublehead Peak is so big that it is impossible to find the secret cave so easily. But fortunately, we have a general range. As long as we have enough manpower, it will be a matter of time to find the secret cave.
"Associate Professor Li, what should we do next?"
"Yan Bureau, you are fully responsible for the affairs here. I can just listen to your arrangements. However, I think we still need to arrange a large number of people to search for secret caves. As long as we find the secret caves, we may be able to find out the mystery about the life and death of Emperor Jianwen." clues."
Yan Qijun felt a little strange. Since Li Mo could find this place, it meant that he should have a rough idea of the location of the secret cave. If he looked for it, he would get twice the result with half the effort.
Although he couldn't figure it out, he was very satisfied with Li Mo's attitude. After all, they didn't take over the spotlight and turned him, the person in charge, into a foil.
"Okay, then I'll make arrangements immediately."
After Yan Qijun left, Niu Sanpang, who was following him, asked in a low voice: "Brother, haven't you found it yet?"
"I found it, but I can't point it out immediately. Ningde has done a very good job in promoting Emperor Jianwen's culture. Do you think that if I really move Emperor Jianwen's treasure back to Kyoto, will the people here let us go? I'm afraid everyone will I can’t get out of Ningde. After all, the tourism industry here thrives on the culture of Emperor Jianwen. I found some scattered cultural relics for them outside, although there are only more than 500 pieces, but I will add some others later. In Ningde There’s no problem building a small museum here.”
Niu Sanpang gave him a thumbs up, brother, you are still thoughtful. How could it be possible that the treasure of Emperor Jianwen that was finally found could benefit the people of Ningde. Just leave some for them to explain to the people, and move the rest away.
"Mr. Li, didn't you say before that there is no land in Yanjiao?"
Sun Chengan couldn't help but ask.
"Last night, the leaders of Yanjiao called and said that they are discussing the re-division of administrative areas. I think if the Yang Group can't handle it this time, you should focus more on Yanjiao. Once Yanjiao improves the specifications, If so, the surrounding areas may also be included. You should understand the rest."
"Understood, that's so clear." Niu Sanpang's eyes lit up. Since Li Mo could tell this, he was basically sure of it. If you get the upper hand, the rewards for anything you do will be very high.
Sun Cheng'an also thought of this, and felt excited in his heart. If he followed Li Mo, there would be many opportunities to make money.
Jingle Bell-
Sun Cheng'an took out his cell phone, looked at it, raised it to Li Mo's eyes and said, "Mr. Li, it's a call from the Yang family."
"Come on, one principle is that we will not participate in that nonsense. Just tell them that you are digging for treasures with me at Shuangji Peak."
Sun Chengan gave an 'ok' gesture and walked aside to answer the phone.
"Three Fatties, let's take a walk along the valley."
There were many people in the valley. In order not to miss any underground cultural relics that might have been missed, they began to dig out piece by piece in an organized manner.
"Brother, where is the treasure? Do you want to give me a chance to show it?"
"Okay, no problem."
"Really?" Niu Sanpang was excited. It seemed that he could become a new internet celebrity.
"Of course it's true, but if you go in first, you'll probably have to lie down and go back."
"What's the meaning?"
Li Mo turned to glance at him and grinned: "From the clues I got, at least seven people lost their lives because they entered that secret cave. If you are sure you want to go in first, I will give you this chance."
Niu Sanpang's face immediately turned extremely ugly. He hurriedly waved his hands and refused to go, determined not to go.
"I thought you were really that brave."
"No matter how courageous you are, you can only enjoy life if you have a life."
After making the call, Sun Chengan came over and said: "Mr. Li, the stock price of Yang Group has dropped to the limit again today. The current market value of the group has fallen below 4 billion. Old man Yang has been sent to the hospital. At present, the major shareholders of the group are forcing Yang to immediately Restart the negotiation process and ask us to give you another chance."
"Then how did you respond?" Niu Sanpang asked.
"I refused directly. Mr. Li's move is powerful. If we delay for another day or two, it is estimated that the Yang Group will be completely destroyed."
"See, they're still in trouble."
Li Mo looked at the time, it was almost noon.
"Let's go out and find a place to have a good meal of local specialties."
"Go for a walk."
Niu Sanpang was urging him to leave, his eyes casually scanning the mountains on both sides. He was wondering where the fatal secret cave was.
The three of them found a restaurant in the village at the foot of the mountain. There were not many people eating there, and the environment maintained the original style of a small rural village. The walls were made of bricks and tiles, the floor was made of cement, and there were six tables. It was quite clean and tidy.
"Gentlemen, what do you want to eat? These are all farm dishes. The chickens, ducks and geese are killed early in the morning and have been stewed. Now they can be braised or made into soup."
A man in his forties came over with a simple menu and asked. Then he glanced at Li Mo's face, then glanced again. Before they could order, the man asked uncertainly: "Excuse me, who is this?" Sir, are you Associate Professor Li, the great archaeological expert?"
"Hey, you recognized me." Niu Sanpang said with a smile, "Can I get a discount on this meal if I can get some face recognition?"
"It's really Associate Professor Li, hello, hello." The shop owner wiped his hands on his clothes, then stretched out his hands to shake Li Mo's hand.
"Hello boss, I'm Li Mo, don't listen to his nonsense."
"No, no, how about a discount? I'll treat you to this meal." The shop owner hurriedly handed the menu to Li Mo, "Associate Professor Li, just order whatever you like."
How could Li Mo ask him to treat him? The business here is mainly for foreign tourists. You can't tell whether the business is good or not. All you earn is hard-earned money.
He ordered three meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes and a soup.
"Okay, Associate Professor Li, please wait ten minutes and I'll make you a pot of hot tea."
The boss happily walked to the back kitchen with the menu, and his voice could be heard from a distance: "Honey, Associate Professor Li is here as a guest. Show off your unique cooking skills."
"Which Associate Professor Li?"
"You're stupid. You're Associate Professor Li Mo from the Department of History at Peking University. Aren't you digging for treasures in the mountains these past two days?"
"Ah, that big expert is here. Okay, look at me."
Soon a pot of tea was served. The kettle was a common old-fashioned iron kettle, but the tea was drank not from a cup, but from a bowl, or a porcelain bowl.
"Associate Professor Li, we farmers are relatively simple, but it is absolutely clean. You can use it without worry."
"I can see that, boss, go ahead and do your work first."
"Okay, call me if you need anything."
Sun Cheng'an poured half a bowl of tea for each of them, then took a sip and said, "I suddenly felt like drinking a lot of wine. This boss is quite interesting. There are three tea bowls and three styles. I don't know how many years he has been using them. I bumped into several places.”
After Li Mo took a sip, the quality of the tea was slightly worse. His eyes glanced at the tea bowl, and he immediately said "Huh" and gently put down the bowl in his hand. After looking around in a circle, he drank the tea in the bowl in one go and looked at the bottom of the bowl.
There is no base, but there are obvious fiery red spots. The bowl is painted with a blue and white lotus pattern, which is a bit rough in terms of brushwork and craftsmanship.
"Third Fatty, look at this porcelain bowl."
Niu Sanpang took the blue and white porcelain bowl, looked at it carefully, and said a little uncertainly: "Is it fired in a folk kiln in the early Ming Dynasty?"
"You still have some eyesight." Li Mo smiled and turned around and shouted, "Boss, come here."
The boss hurriedly ran over from the back kitchen and asked, "Associate Professor Li, are you okay with calling me?"
"Boss, where did you buy this bowl? It's broken like this."
"I'm sorry, boss, I'll give you a better bowl."
"Wait a minute, I didn't ask you to change it. I just want to tell you that this blue and white bowl was handed down from the Ming Dynasty and has a history of hundreds of years. Although it was not fired in an official kiln, it can be bought in an antique shop. It can be sold for 30,000 to 40,000 yuan no matter what. You keep it well, but don’t take it out and use it as a soup or rice bowl."
The boss's mouth suddenly opened, and then he took it with his incredible hands and looked at it again and again. They have been using this bowl for many years. Although it doesn't look good, they can save more money if they can.
"Boss, you haven't answered Associate Professor Li's question yet. Where did you get this bowl?" Sun Cheng'an reminded him friendly.
"Back then, this area was going to be built as a tourist attraction, and we also wanted to start a small business, so my wife went to the town and bought a lot of bowls. At that time, she picked and bought such bowls for the sake of cheapness," the boss said here. , suddenly slapped his head, "I remember there are seven or eight bowls that are exactly the same as this one, I'll go look for them."
The boss hurriedly ran to the kitchen to look for it.
"Mr. Li, since the blue and white bowl just now is authentic from the early Ming Dynasty, why is the price so low?"
"If they are produced by official kilns, many styles of porcelain from the early Ming Dynasty are worth a lot of money. But if they are produced by private kilns, they are relatively less valuable. I took a closer look and found that the porcelain just now belongs to a category of porcelain called Hainan. Fishing porcelain refers to porcelain salvaged from ancient ships that sank at the bottom of the sea."
"In ancient times, it was also called export porcelain. This kind of porcelain has become more and more popular in recent years. Although they are not as good as the porcelain fired from Mingguan kiln, they are better than the word 'authentic'. Nowadays, in the antique market where fakes are rampant Among them, Hailao porcelain has the upper hand and is liked by more people."
"Brother, look at what we have in our hands. Are they genuine?"
Li Mo glanced at it and said with a smile: "It's a waste product."
"Associate Professor Li, originally there were ten blue and white bowls, but two of them were broken into pieces, and the remaining eight are here. Please help me take a look."
There was no need for identification at all, just one glance and Li Mo nodded.
"The things are real, but the quality is not that high. Boss, you have collected these eight porcelain bowls. Now for such porcelain from the sea, the auction market has a great response, and the value is only getting higher and higher. If you are not short of money, It can last a few more years.”
"I listened to Associate Professor Li. Let's keep it ourselves first. Thank you, Associate Professor Li. Thank you."
According to Li Mo, these eight pieces of porcelain from the sea can now cost more than 200,000 yuan, and if they are kept in the hands for a few more years, they will be worth even more.
Within three minutes, the slightly chubby proprietress served four cold dishes one after another. She said excitedly: "Associate Professor Li, these cold dishes are my specialty. You try them first, and I will heat up the rice wine for you."
"Madam boss, we didn't order these dishes."
"Associate Professor Li, we are very happy that you can come to our house for dinner. This meal must be for the two of us. Besides, you just helped me earn hundreds of thousands, otherwise those porcelain bowls will be scrapped and thrown away sooner or later."
A meal costs only two to three hundred yuan at most, which is nothing compared to two to three hundred thousand.
"Hahaha, then we are really rude. Thank you, boss lady."
"Associate Professor Li, please eat slowly. Hot food will be served later."
"Mr. Li, why do you think there is porcelain from the sea here?"
"In fact, in ancient times, the porcelain produced by private kilns in Fudi was mainly exported, but the quality was average. It was not until the end of the Ming Dynasty that the quality of exported porcelain became very good. By the Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, the export porcelain It is almost very exquisite, integrating Eastern and Western elements, and its artistic level is not inferior to that of official kiln porcelain."
"It is recorded in many history books that the Maritime Silk Road is also called the Ceramic Road, or the Fragrant Porcelain Road. In ancient times, it was affected by navigation conditions. There were many merchant ships in trouble at sea. A medium-sized merchant ship can be loaded with ten thousand pieces of porcelain. . Think about it, how many porcelain pieces from the sea are sleeping in the sea?"
Niu Sanpang then nodded. In this case, it is normal for some porcelain from the sea to appear on the market in Fudi.
Li Mo took a few mouthfuls of cold dried silk noodles and suddenly asked: "Third Fatty, was the sunken ship discovered by Wang Zongxun of Jinmen later salvaged? Why haven't you heard any news about it?"
"According to reliable information, the salvage was over before it even started. Wang Zongxun originally wanted to use the salvage of the sunken ship to give the Jinmen Wang Family extra points, but in the end, you just cut through the mess and found the treasure of Jin Lily's plunder plan, and all of a sudden Jin Lily The arrogance of the Prince Family has been suppressed."
"I heard from my grandpa that Mr. Wang was in a coma for two months and became confused when he woke up. In addition, the second generation of the Wang family has no hope of rising to power. Wang Zongxun will only be able to live with his tail between his legs in the future."
