The princely tomb is nearly fifteen meters thick just in terms of sealing soil, and it will take some time to dig through it. The people who excavated the soil in the early stage were young adults recruited from the surrounding areas. They were given three meals a day and were paid 150 yuan a day.
"Brother, some investors have come from outside the village. They are all here to inspect the environment here. Two of the representatives want to meet you. How do you think this will be arranged?"
Li Mo was excavating the earth with everyone. He was sweating profusely. He had a towel hanging around his neck and wiped the sweat on his head. He said: "I am only responsible for the archaeological work of the tomb. You and others are responsible for everything else." Let’s discuss it together. I’m not seeing those investors, but you can tell them that I will invest in building this place into a 5A-level scenic spot, so there are many projects worthy of investment here, such as hotels and restaurants. , travel, green health products, etc. Zhixin, everything always requires a first step. While I am still here, you can just go ahead and do it, or you may have to start all over again."
"Brother, I understand."
Cao Zhixin left full of fighting spirit.
"Professor Li, is he really your brother?" an associate professor in Kyoto asked curiously.
"My aunt's son has just been out of society for a year, and he is still timid in doing things. But people have to go through a process of growth. The more times they fall, the more mature they become."
Li Mo smiled, walked to the side, picked up a bottle of mineral water, and took a swig.
"Teacher, I have an idea. Do you think it's feasible?"
Zhu Changping did not participate in physical labor. He nodded and said, "What do you think?"
"Judging from the situation of the stolen cave, this princely tomb is very deep. Can we use an excavator to speed up the excavation? Just like when I was looking for the Kyushu Cauldron, we first dug out the eleven to twelve meters. Sealing the soil and then using manpower to carry out meticulous work can greatly shorten our waiting time.”
"Hahaha, we used to excavate large tombs by ourselves, mainly because of lack of funds and unable to use such equipment. For example, last year you hoisted the Tang Sacrifice Sky Stone from the underground of Luocheng Park. Just using the hoisting equipment was too long. It cost two to three million, which we wouldn't even dare to think about. And you hired so many workers, which cost a lot of money everywhere. Others are responsible for archeology, so they are very careful, and they break every penny into two parts. You Being in charge of archeology is all about using money to clear the way, and you can do whatever you can to save time."
Zhu Changping thinks this idea is really feasible. If we only use manual labor to excavate the soil, it may take less than a month. It would be better to speed up the process.
So the next day, four excavators and eight earth-moving trucks drove into Sujia Village. Those workers did not resign, but stayed and continued working. However, instead of digging soil, they began to build roads and widen roadbeds.
Later, Li Mo simply spent his own money to recruit more surrounding villagers, and asked the county to make unified allocations to directly start building several roads from the village to the county level, to the provincial level, and even to the national highway. Then the peaceful small county seemed to suddenly become lively, with various vehicles coming and going on the road.
Several excavators worked continuously for a week and finally saw results. The soil that was divided into six huge greenhouses has been dug out to a depth of about 12 meters, and the entire pit is presented in a ladder shape. Fortunately, this prince-level tomb is close to the Taihang Mountains. There has been no water seepage after digging so deep, and the soil is still relatively dry.
"Professor Li, look at this wall. It is made entirely of giant strips of stone. No wonder explosives are needed to break open the tomb."
Li Mo touched the excavated wall with his hand and said: "It seems that the origin of this big tomb will be bigger than we imagined. Even the tombs of Emperor Zhou in Luocheng do not have such a scale and standard. I even suspect that this large tomb is the tomb of a king of the Zhao Kingdom during the Warring States Period."
Zhu Changping also touched the wall, thought for a while and said: "In ancient times, this place was originally the sphere of influence of the King of Zhongshan. During the Warring States Period, it was destroyed by the State of Zhao. Although the tomb of King Zhao has been around for a long time, according to archaeological research, the burial The tombs in that royal tomb may be the tombs of seven Zhao kings: Zhao Jinghou, Zhao Chenghou, Zhao Suhou, Zhao Wuling, Zhao Huiwen, Zhao Xiaocheng and Zhao Miaoxiang. A total of twelve kings appeared in the Zhao Kingdom, and the remaining The tombs of the five Zhao kings who were buried there have not been found. Xiao Mo, there is still a slight probability in your guess."
Li Mo blinked and smiled: "Teacher, I just said it casually."
"Hahaha, in many cases, as long as you make careful guesses, you still have some direction. But even if this is the tomb of King Zhao, the last king of Zhao Kingdom should not be here."
Li Mo nodded. The last king of the Zhao Kingdom was Dai Wangjia, the eldest son of King Zhao Daoxiang and the brother of King Zhao Youmiao. After the Qin army captured King Zhao Youmiao, Dai Wang Jia fled to Dai and proclaimed himself king, and united with the Yan army to resist Qin's attack. But at this time, the Qin State was already unstoppable. In the twenty-fifth year of Yingzheng's reign, Wang Ben led his troops to attack Dai and captured Dai Wangjia. Zhao State completely withdrew from the stage of history.
"Professor Li, Professor Zhu, should we focus on trying to excavate one place first?"
asked a gray-haired archaeological expert from Qingdao University.
Zhu Changping looked at the huge venue and then said to Li Mo, "Today is the first day. How about we concentrate our efforts and hope that we can make unprecedented discoveries on the first day."
Li Mo had already used his special eyes to survey the surroundings, and he had a clear idea of the situation here. Judging from the layout of the entire tomb, this area should be a huge burial pit. With the previous sweep of his strange pupils, countless rays of colorful light rose into the sky. The surging seven-colored energy engulfed his whole body, and he was so frightened that he immediately retracted his sight through the strange pupils.
But we also saw some clues.
"Teacher, you are the most authoritative when it comes to archeology. You just give orders."
After all, Zhu Changping is old, so he naturally hopes to be able to excavate all of this unknown princely tomb while he is still able to move. It is best to find a world-famous weapon that can suppress the country.
"Then we'll start from the bottom and advance layer by layer."
The next step was manual excavation, and Li Mo also took out a set of professional tools and joined others.
"Boss, your phone number."
When it was almost noon, the brown bear walked into the greenhouse with his cell phone and shouted.
Li Mo took off his gloves and walked up. He took the phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. He looked at Brown Bear, who whispered, "It's the first person in charge of Ji Di."
"Hello, I'm Li Mo."
"Hello Professor Li, I'm sorry to interrupt your work at this time."
"You're serious, I'm not busy at the moment. I wonder what you want to see me for?"
"Professor Li, if your time permits this afternoon, I would like to see you."
Li Mo's brows moved slightly. It seemed that after his son's accident, he was now desperate. It's just that if you don't look for connections at this time, what's the use of looking for me.
I'm waiting quietly for Li Mo's reply.
"I have heard about your son. I want to ask a question, do you know what your son has done? If you don't know, I can meet with you, but if you know, then we will not meet. It doesn’t make any sense anymore.”
This was Li Mo's reply to him.
"I know a little bit, but a big mistake has been made, and there is nothing we can do to stop him. Professor Li, I know that you have powerful means in Europe. I would like to ask you to help find him and bring him back."
What is rhythm?
Li Mo couldn't see through the other party's intentions.
"Professor Li, I'll tell you the truth, I'm exhausted these days. If he comes back, his children will have the opportunity to raise their heads and be a good person, and they won't have to bear the shame when they grow up. But if he doesn't come back, he will be invisible for the rest of his life. People are in darkness, so what if they have endless money to spend."
It sounds reasonable, but does he want to kill his relatives out of justice?
Many thoughts flashed through Li Mo's mind, and suddenly his face twitched, and then he said with great regret: "You still overestimate me. I have some influence in Europe, but I'm not big enough to think about anything." How can it be possible? What your son took away was not just a small amount of money, but a huge sum of money. No matter which country he went to, he would be welcomed."
"Professor Li, may I ask for your help?"
"I'm sorry, there's really nothing I can do."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then a very disappointed voice came: "Professor Li, sorry for bothering you, thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Li Mo threw the phone to the brown bear and said, "Don't answer calls from strangers in the future."
"Yes, boss."
"Use your own mobile phone to call the second person in charge of Jidi later and tell him what just happened."
"clear."
Li Mo looked at the time. It was almost time for lunch. He patted the dirt on his body and walked slowly towards the village. When they met, they saw Cao Zhixin riding an electric bicycle towards us, with someone sitting in the back seat.
"Brother, this way, this way."
Niu Sanpang's head was exposed and he waved his hands excitedly.
"Three Fatties, why are you here?"
The electric car stopped in front of him. Niu Sanpang got out of the back seat and stretched out his arms to hug him.
"No, no, I'm covered in dirt, don't soil your Armani." Li Mo hid aside in disgust, Niu Sanpang laughed twice, "Brother, didn't I hear you were here? There is a big movement, so I came here with a group of brothers to support you and see where there are projects worthy of our investment."
"The plate over there in Yun Province isn't big enough. Why are you coming here to join in the fun?"
"There are people over there who are responsible for it, and I don't want to do it myself. Last time you helped me invest in more than a dozen factories, and I have integrated them. Twelve small plates have been integrated into one big plate, and the bosses are all the same." We discussed it and agreed to start preparations for listing. You have been helping my brother make a lot of money, so I should support your work more, brother."
Li Mo saw that he was very excited and asked suspiciously: "Is there really nothing else?"
"Of course not, brother, I can still lie to you."
"Go back without you. There are no good projects here." Li Mo waved his hand directly, urging him to leave quickly and not stand here to be an eyesore.
"Brother, don't drive me away." Niu Sanpang became anxious. He grabbed Li Mo's arm and suddenly lowered his face and begged, "Brother, if you don't help me this time, I will be in trouble."
Li Mo stopped and turned to look at him: "You won't have other women outside who were discovered by your wife, right?"
"How did you know?"
Niu Sanpang's eyes widened a bit.
"You don't lack anything besides women now. I can guess it with my toes."
"Brother, please help me once."
Li Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He slapped his hand away and said, "You were looking for a woman outside and your wife found out. What help do you ask me for?"
"Jiaxin may not listen to anyone, but she will definitely listen to you. Now she is divorcing me, and she is very determined to divorce me. She can't even listen to the old man's advice. I don't think so. The only way is to escape and ask for help from you."
"You really think, what's the use of asking me for this matter? If you have done something yourself, you have to bear it yourself. It's useless to ask anyone. My suggestion is that you just leave the house and keep all your property. To my wife and children.”
Niu Sanpang trotted to keep up with Li Mo: "Brother, you can't ignore death. In fact, my relationship with that woman is not what you think. We are just a little ambiguous, and we have not broken the bottom line of being a human being. You I also know that Jiaxin is very strong at home, and I also want to find a little tenderness in other women."
Li Mo said angrily: "Since you have been so hurt physically and mentally, it is even more important for you to divorce. After divorce, it would be great to find a gentle and considerate wife. Don't ask me to help you with this matter. I won’t take your side.”
"Brother, the old man at home is yelling at me to beat me and kill me. Jiaxin is making noises about getting a divorce. I can't even go back to my family now. Just take pity on me and give me some advice."
"The best way is to get divorced and leave the house. From then on, you will be depressed, unable to recover, have no love in life, and die."
Niu Sanpang's whole body was in bad shape.
"Zhixin, let's go first."
Li Mo got on Cao Zhixin's electric car and left, leaving behind the three fat men who were messy in the wind and looked helpless.
"Brother, you really don't care about him?"
"I helped, forget it, I can't communicate with a single like you." Li Mo patted him on the shoulder, "Wait until you have a woman and then think about it slowly."
Cao Zhixin did not refute. He felt that what his cousin said seemed to have a hidden truth.
Niu Sanpang was like an eggplant battered by frost. He walked towards the village alone with a few people. What Li Mo just said kept popping up in his mind. As he was walking, he suddenly slapped his thigh, and the frustration on his face disappeared: "Wonderful, my brother's method is really amazing."
After Li Mo had lunch, Cao Zhixin brought over a document.
"Brother, the planning document and investment scale budget came out from the superior."
"Have you read the content?"
Li Mo didn't look directly, but asked instead.
"Seen."
Li Mo closed the document: "Then just tell me your opinion directly. Just say whatever comes to mind. Don't be afraid of making mistakes."
