Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 462 Metaphysical Guidance "I feel like there's a big tomb by the river!" (Monthly Ticket Plus)

Old Ji had just finished his phone call when he heard Fangyan asking him.

He was still a little confused.

Turning around and seeing the photo in Fang Yan's hand, he finally realized:

"Oh, you mean the Hei Song Yi in Gansu."

"That's right." Fang Yan nodded.

After all, it is a professional matter. After thinking for a while, Old Ji said:

"That place is the eastern end of the Hexi Corridor. It was the seat of Changsong County in the Han Dynasty. It has been an important post station on the Silk Road since the Han and Tang Dynasties. There are many cultural relics. They are being excavated for protection, and new cultural relics are unearthed every year."

Fangyan asked:

"Are you also digging near the ancient tomb of Chenjiataizi in the east of the city?"

Old Ji nodded and said:
"They are digging. There are several excavation teams. Some are from the Han Dynasty, some are from the Tang Dynasty, and some are from the Sixteen Kingdoms Later Liang. Recently, there are also tombs from the Ming Dynasty. Anyway, there are many tombs here, such as Zhuangyuan Cliff, Xiaopo Village Tombs, Gujiapingtan Ruins, Chenjiataizi Tomb..."

As he spoke, he came to Fangyan, picked up the photo and said:
"In September 1953, when the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway was being built, farmers from Hesongyi dug up various bronze and brass arrowheads and pottery jars at the Chenjiahe platform east of the city. Later, the Gansu Cultural Relics Management Committee sent a cultural relic survey and cleaning team to collect the items. After confirming that there was an ancient tomb there, they notified us."

"We sent two teams to dig there, and we found more Han Dynasty painted pottery and stone wheels without much effort."

"Among them, one bronze artifact is the most amazing. It is cylindrical, with a bottom and a mouth that is equal to the bottom. There is a handle on each side. One handle has a patch mark, and the other handle is engraved with a small seal inscription, 'Da Si Nong Ping Hu made in the first month of the eleventh year of Jianwu.' Based on the inscription, we know that this is a measuring vessel, and then we named it Da Si Nong Ping Hu of the Han Dynasty."

After that, Old Ji paused and asked:

"You know the Grand Minister of Agriculture, don't you?"

The dialect said:

"The Book of the Later Han Dynasty. Officials Volume 3 records that "the Grand Minister of Agriculture is in charge of money, grain, gold, silk and other currencies." He was one of the Nine Ministers, similar to the Minister of Revenue in later generations, and was a senior official in charge of finance and taxation."

Old Ji, who was about to show off, was stunned, and then said in surprise:
"Aren't you a medical student? Do you know all this?"

Although I don't know much about dialects, I have looked up information on this subject specifically, so how could I not know?

He said to Old Ji:

"Don't be so surprised. After all, we Chinese medicine practitioners also read Zhongjing. It's normal to know about the Han Dynasty, right?"

Only then did Old Ji react.

He nodded, and then talked about the Da Si Nong Ping Hu, which was a standard measuring instrument during the Eastern Han Dynasty. Its actual measured volume was 19600 milliliters, which was equivalent to 1 liter equaling 196 milliliters. It was basically the same as the Wang Mang Hu made by Wang Mang.

In fact, I know all these dialects.

He also knew that the Grand Minister of Agriculture Pinghu was issued by Liu Xiu when he recovered the Hexi Corridor and conquered Gongsun Shu in Sichuan, and victory was in sight. He believed that national unification was just around the corner. He wanted to unify the measurement policy, consolidate the regime, restore the economy and establish authority.

Not far from where it was unearthed, buried on the riverside is the Da Si Nong bronze weight, which can prove the accurate conversion relationship between Han Dynasty and modern weight units.

The large copper weight is a standard instrument for measuring the weight of objects. It was cast in the second year of Guanghe in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is the same year as Sima Yi, Pang Tong and Fa Zheng.

I don’t know how these two things, which were so different in age, were buried together.

Fang Yan asked Old Ji:

"There are so many ancient tombs over there. Have you ever thought about expanding the original location? Maybe you have dug up something nearby."

Old Ji waved his hand and said:
"Well, the excavation work has been going on. We don't know how much is buried in the soil. There is also gold in the local river. People who secretly pan for gold have picked up a lot of bronze and brass in the river. At that time, we suspected that there were ancient tombs in the river."

"I was right to suspect that..." Fang Yan muttered.

"Huh?" Old Ji was stunned.

Fangyan came back to his senses and said:

"I mean, if they can find bronze artifacts in the water, is there any doubt? There must be something there!"

Old Ji said:

"No, it may have been washed over from other places. The force of the water flow is still very strong. Later we dug at the nearby riverside and found nothing." "..." Fangyan was speechless.

It turns out that the archaeological team had also dug around the area.

They just didn't touch it.

It seems that under normal circumstances, it would take until 1981 to dig it out...

Fangyan fell into deep thought, wondering whether he should go there after taking the college entrance examination.
But can you find the exact location by yourself?

The copper weight is only the size of a lump of lining, so it is quite difficult to find it.

Moreover, the place is full of tombs, and it would be difficult to dig by yourself. The feng shui is too good and things are buried everywhere. It is likely that you will not be able to find them if you go there.

At this time, Old Ji also noticed that Fang Yan seemed to be paying too much attention, so he asked:
"You seem very interested in this?"

Thinking of the metaphysical attributes of dialects, Old Ji asked:
"Is it something you feel? Inspiration?"

In this line of work, they still believe in this kind of thing.

When Fangyan heard what Lao Ji said, an idea suddenly came to his mind.

This is like handing yourself a ladder!
Fangyan immediately followed up with the words:
"You may not believe it, but I always feel that there is a big tomb by the river in your area."

Old Ji asked:

"You mean...near the ancient tomb of Chenjiataizi in the east of the city?"

Fangyan nodded and said:

"But it's just my feeling, I can't really say for sure."

Old Ji smiled and said:

"Hahahaha...I often feel this way sometimes."

“…” Fangyan was speechless.

Well, it turns out that experts are not so easy to fool.

Originally, I wanted to influence Old Ji to change history and shift his attention to the river.

Now it seems that I think too much.

After Old Ji finished speaking, he said to Fang Yan:
"Okay, I've already notified the factory by phone. They'll be here around half past ten."

Fang Yan nodded and said to Lao Ji:
"Thank you. I'll go back first and not disturb you anymore."

Old Ji responded and then sent Fangyan out the door.

Instead of letting him go downstairs, Fangyan just asked him to go back.

I went downstairs and headed towards home.

He decided to do well in the college entrance examination first and get the top score.

Let’s put the matter of the Grand Minister of Agriculture’s copper power aside for now.

There is still a long way to go. Even if we follow the established history, it will eventually appear in 1981.

This time Fangyan did not walk back, but chose to take the bus.

Just after Fangyan got on the bus, Lao Ji stood behind the window, watching the bus go away, cigarette in his mouth, lost in thought.

Finally he came to the phone and made a call:
"Hello, put me through to the Gansu Cultural Relics Administration..."

PS: After finishing this chapter, I still owe you 18000 words. My notebook is typing garbled characters, so I stayed up all night typing in the Internet cafe.

No more today, please come early tomorrow
