Chapter 1212 Let Li Mo Make the Decision

Why there are so many ancient books in Genghis Khan's secret collection has no way to be studied. We can only make reasonable inferences. The historian has something to do in the future. Li Mo checked the ancient books. Since they have been moved out, they must be repaired as soon as possible.

You need to contact experts in this area immediately to see if they can do something about it.

The stone-engraved conquest map left by Genghis Khan has been completely put together. Taken as a whole, it can also be called a regional map of the Mongol Empire.

Everyone put down what they were doing and gathered around to observe it carefully. This stone-engraved map was very delicately carved, with mountains, rivers, urban grasslands, and deserts all clearly marked.

Some staff have already started taking pictures in all directions. Although it is a stone-engraved version of the imperial map, its significance is extraordinary.

"Academician Li, we need to protect these stone carvings."

Sima Haotian whispered from the side.

"Okay, everyone starts taking action. If you can protect it on site, do it on site. Then we will organize and protect it carefully. In the future, it will all be displayed."

Take photos, maintain, organize, reprotect and put into new wooden boxes.

There must be such a process when moving out each box. The main reason is to worry about damage during transportation due to insufficient previous protection, especially those porcelains, each of which can be said to be a national treasure.

Except for resting and eating, everyone devoted themselves to Qi Bao. It was busy until the evening when the first armed escort truck set off. These will be temporarily placed in the underground treasure troves of several major museums in the capital of Inner Mongolia.

The first day of Qibao ended like this. When we returned to the hotel, the archaeological experts had tired looks on their faces. After dinner, they went back to their rooms to rest.

After dinner, Li Mo and the others sat in the cafe listening to music, eating a few snacks and a fruit platter, and chatting while eating.

"Academician Li, do you have any thoughts about Genghis Khan's secret treasure? There are troops stationed here. Although there are not five steps and one post and ten steps and one sentry, they are all real guns and live ammunition. But with such equipment, it is They have not acted as a deterrent to those tomb robbers, and I am really worried that such a great heritage will encounter more disasters in the future."

"It depends on what the superiors decide. Regarding the matter of tomb robbers, even if the entire Genghis Khan secret collection is moved to the south, the officials here must not have the nerve to stop it. But Genghis Khan is the patron saint of the Mongolian people after all, and this is also an autonomous region, so it is There is a chance that the whole place will be moved to a location closer to the provincial capital.”

Sima Haotian forked a piece of watermelon and ate it and said, "I think it would be good to find a suitable place near Helan Mountain."

"Haha, heroes think alike." Li Mo chewed melon seeds and then asked, "Professor Sima, I heard that your daughter is getting married on National Day?"

Sima Haotian shook his head slightly.

"That is how the matter?"

Sima Haotian sighed softly and said: "She was my direct disciple before. Later, after I went into exile in Miguo, she was worried about being implicated, so she directly announced her departure from the school and broke up with me. At the beginning of this year, she came from Wandao to look for me. I knelt in front of me and confessed that I wanted to re-enter the master's door, but I didn't agree."

Li Mo was still somewhat impressed by his female disciple. She never expected that the master she betrayed would one day turn around and become a new authority in the domestic archaeological community.

"Last month she came to the mainland again to send me an invitation, saying that she would be getting married on October 1st. Could you please be her witness? I still didn't agree, and she chased her all the way to the National People's Congress office. Alas."

"I thought your biological daughter was getting married. Why should I prepare a wedding gift for her?"

"The child is still young, and we probably won't be able to get married next year. Without talking about their affairs, Academician Li, are there one or two people around you who are worthy of training?"

Li Mo glanced at him and said, "You still want to accept another disciple? Then why don't you train your own children?"

"You can't teach a child. Besides, learning these things requires talent, hard work and perseverance in the later stage. I think Yangyang is very good. She has picked up a lot of good things on her own over the years."

Yan Yangyang was a little embarrassed to be praised in front of her, but she still glanced at Li Mo secretly, wanting to see what the master's expression was. Sure enough, a look of pride appeared on Li Mo's face, and her heart suddenly calmed down.

"Professor Sima, it's not easy to find someone with enough talent. You still have to explore it carefully among your own students. Of course, I will recommend it to you in time when I find out about it in the future."

"It can only be the."

The two were chatting when Qin Yali called. After the call was answered, she said in a solemn tone: "Xiao Mo, there will be a working group here tomorrow. They mainly want to talk to you about the follow-up to Genghis Khan's Secret Collection." matters."

"Auntie, it's useless to talk to me about this matter. We still need to communicate with the local person in charge."

"Originally, we let them decide for themselves, but the incident involving the tomb robbers had a particularly bad impact, and many people in Kyoto were annoyed. You don't know yet, but the identities of the six tomb robbers all have a lot of backgrounds. , except for the two people who died, everyone who has been caught has given an honest account, and you can guess what happened without me telling you the details."

Li Mo thought for a moment and said, "Auntie, what do you think?"

"Haha, what do I think here? I'm just conveying the spirit of the superior's instructions. When the working group arrives, you can just say whatever they ask you."

"Okay, then I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Li Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What nonsense was this? This area was rotten to the core, so I had better finish the excavation work here this morning and then return to Kyoto.

"Putting pressure on you?" Sima Haotian asked with a smile.

"That's not true. It's just a reminder for me."

The work of Qibao continued the next day, and today all the wooden boxes on the left half were moved. What comes out of the box are all gold and silver jewelry. In terms of style, there are pieces from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and even dating back to the Qin and Han Dynasties. There are many types and styles, including belts, pendants, bracelets, rings, hairpins, etc. Pendants, etc. Mainly gold and silver products with pearls and gems. In the Tang, Song and Liao dynasties, with the development of gold craftsmanship, more and more jade wares were produced.

Some of the wooden boxes are intact and some are damaged. The good ones are picked out, photographed and registered. The damaged ones are sorted separately. The ones that can be repaired later will be displayed after they are repaired. Boxes and boxes of them, the quantity is staggering.

"Professor Sima, this jade belt inlaid with precious stones from the Qin and Han Dynasties is really exquisite."

Li Mo took out a belt from the box, which was really well preserved. The jade pieces are Hetian jade, and they are connected together by skilled craftsmen. The tandem material used has turned black, I don't know what it is. He didn't dare to try to pull it, for fear of breaking it and destroying its original integrity.

Sima Haotian carefully took it and appraised it carefully and said: "The jade is made of blue field jade, inlaid with rubies. Each jade block is engraved with dragon patterns on the surface, which is the image of an animal. It is probably an ancient artifact from the Qin and Han Dynasties."

"I don't know from whose hands so much gold, silver and jewelry were plundered, especially those related to the Qin and Han Dynasties."

"During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao's gold-touching captains dug countless large tombs. Countless gold, silver and jewels flowed to various places and were passed down from generation to generation. With the power of the Mongol Empire at that time, even Xixia, Song and Liao had not completely destroyed it. It was destroyed, but there must be a lot of filial piety in gold, silver and jewelry. In short, who can tell clearly what happened hundreds of years ago now."

Yan Yangyang was silently assisting in the work. She murmured: "I'm tired of looking at these gold, silver jewelry and jade articles. They have no meaning at all. It would be better if they could be porcelain from the Tang and Song Dynasties. A piece of official kiln Song porcelain is worth It’s much, much more valuable than a box of gold, silver and jewelry.”

"Girl, why are you in such a hurry? The good stuff is yet to come. The secret-color porcelain from the Tang Dynasty and the porcelain from the official kiln of the Song Dynasty are all packed in boxes."

Li Mo whispered to her, and Yangyang's eyes immediately filled with light. She really had a soft spot for porcelain. Not only her, but also Li Mo, Sima Haotian and others also have a special liking for porcelain.

"Master, when can we encounter those porcelains?"

"It's probably not going to happen in the next two days. There are too many gold, silver, jewelry and jade items. Each one has to be photographed and registered. The workload is huge and cumbersome."

Yan Yangyang suddenly sighed softly.

Shatou then approached the camp and said: "Boss, the working group from Kyoto has arrived at the Manzhouli Hotel, and a working group from Inner Mongolia officials has also arrived. Do you want to go there first?"

I really don’t want to do thankless things, but because the tomb robber incident here is getting bigger and bigger, if we can get a group of people to get involved thoroughly, then others will have more opportunities. A carrot is like a hole, but when a big hole is about to appear, someone must be working hard secretly.

Qin Yali did not explain clearly, but Li Mo could guess that when she met with them this time, she was more interested in mediating the conflicts between the two parties and at the same time giving corresponding solutions that were acceptable to both parties.

"Professor Sima, Yangyang, you guys are busy here first, I'll go back to the hotel."

"Go ahead, I'm here."

In Li Mo's absence, Sima Haotian became the temporary on-site person in charge.

Good guy, there are five people in the working group, and the leader is still Qin Yali, but the Inner Mongolia official working group has a total of ten people. The two sides are sitting in the hotel conference room drinking tea, immersed in writing, and in short, there is no dialogue. The atmosphere was a bit awkward.

When Li Mo appeared, both parties showed a somewhat relaxed look on their faces.

"Academician Li, sit here." Zhang Tie'an stood up and pulled up a chair for him. The others were slightly surprised when they saw it. After all, his current status was different from the past, and he was very motivated to climb up. "How is the treasure collection over there? Already?"

"Thank you." Li Mo said after sitting down, "The leaders are here, so I will give a brief report. "Everyone knows the situation in the secret palace before the accident, so I will just talk about the results of the past two days' work. So far, we have produced a national first-class national treasure, a stone-engraved map of the Mongol Empire’s conquests. It is made up of a total of eighty-one stone tablets. It is a map of the territory of the Mongol Empire laid down under the personal command of Genghis Khan. There are also three thousand ancient books. There are many books, but most of them are seriously damaged. It is really a huge regret. I hope that more ancient books can be restored as much as possible in the future and the cultural heritage left to us by our predecessors can be saved. "

"Today, more than 3,580 pieces of gold, more than 890 pieces of jade, and more than 630 pieces of jewelry were produced from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Song and Liao Dynasties. This was when I came here. Data, by the end of today’s work, the data will increase significantly.”

"The number of gold, silver and jade articles is far more than this. If everything goes well, the inventory of these gold, silver and jade articles will be completed the day after tomorrow."

Li Mo finished speaking in one breath, then opened a bottle of mineral water and drank silently. Next, he was not at home.

"Academician Li, what do you think about the tomb robbery that occurred in Genghis Khan's secret treasure?" asked a man in his forties in the Kyoto working group.

"I don't have any ideas, just deal with it in accordance with the law."

The man didn't want to hear such an official answer from him. He glanced at Qin Yali beside him, and then asked again: "Academician Li, because a shocking tomb robbery happened under your nose, and two people were killed." The death of a tomb robber in the secret palace has a bad impact. Do you think it is appropriate for Genghis Khan’s secret collection to remain here?”

It was hard for him. Li Mo thought for a moment before saying: "The secret treasure of Genghis Khan appeared in the Hulunbuir Prairie, close to the Bell Lake Scenic Area, and there are no settled towns here. Whether it is from the perspective of economic development or the protection of the prairie, Or maybe from the perspective of later archaeological research, this place is naturally inappropriate."

"But the overall relocation of Genghis Khan's secret collection from here to another place cannot be accomplished without a two- or three-year plan. The manpower, physics, and financial resources required will be astronomical. And there must be a plan from beginning to end. Individuals are responsible from the beginning to the end. Once the general is changed, accidents will definitely happen, and the country and the nation will suffer losses."

The relocation has been decided for a long time, but no formal document has been formed, because many places in Inner Mongolia are trying their best to fight for it. With Genghis Khan's secret collection, there will be a steady stream of money, and once the project is started, the superiors will The appropriation support will definitely be huge, and capital with keen sense of smell will rush into that place to invest, which will have a strong promotion effect on the economic development of a place.

In the past, they were allowed to fight on their own, but now they can no longer do so because many people were implicated in the tomb robbery incident. Now the local authorities are not qualified to designate who will be awarded the Genghis Khan Secret Relocation Project. The superiors must also make it clear that they will not interfere in local affairs, but will only supervise and make some practical suggestions.

Then someone has to speak first about this matter, so he is the most suitable person to make the final say on this matter, letting Li Mo make the decision. The purpose of both parties coming together is to implement things.

"Academician Li, what do you think is the most suitable place for the relocation of Genghis Khan's secret collection?"
