The Omniscient

Until the age test results of the cultural relics come out, everything is guesswork.

But this is a developed pre-business culture, there is absolutely no problem.

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

The area excavated in the first phase 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, and the unearthed pottery, bronze and bronze wares are like a blowout!

Judging from the number of existing bronze weapons, at least an army of 5,000 people can be armed!

This is simply impossible, plus the stone axes and spears unearthed, it is completely possible to match a servant army of 3,000 to 6,000.

What kind of force? So many troops are needed?

It was simply an important center of ordnance production at that time!

On the ninth day after the discovery of the Caogou Village site, the C14 test results finally came out.

The establishment time of the city is located between 2900 BC and 2500 BC.

Most of the bronzes date from around 2600 BC. As for the stone tools, it is obviously earlier, about 3000 BC to 2800 BC.

In other words, the bronze ware technology gradually developed after the city was established, and it was only significantly higher than the later Taosi ruins within the first 100 years when the city was flooded.

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

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

The time of being covered with sand can be calculated directly and accurately, that is, the second millennium BC.

In this way, it can be confirmed that the site is more advanced than the Taosi site in the Tang and Yao periods, and its technical level is no less than that of the Erlitou site in the Xia Dynasty, and even more powerful in terms of productivity!

On the eve of the destruction of the ancient city, bronze ware technology reached the peak of the same period.

The time is between about 2500 BC and 2600 BC, which is probably the time of Zhuanxu.

For a time, there was an uproar in the archaeological community. Because there were too many cultural relics unearthed, and many were buried under deeper sand, 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 excavation process.

Archaeologists speculate that this is the Ruins of Zhurong during the Zhuanxu period.

Because of the flood, this smelting city was destroyed and abandoned, so the bronze technology has undergone a big setback!

The culture has changed as a result, and there have been bifurcations.

Part of the cultural core transitioned to the later Tang and Yu period culture, and another part of the cultural core, such as the bronze sacred tree, flourished in Shu and went to another path with a strange style.

The cultures of the Central Plains and Shu became more and more different, until the Qin Dynasty was unified.

Of course, this is just a hypothesis.

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

There is also no evidence to point out that this is related to Zhuanxu and the so-called Zhurong Ruins.

However, posts such as [Discovering the Ruins of Zhurong, an ancient ordnance town] and [Ancient flooded the whole city, Zhurong and Gonggong battle] still began to appear in the forums of archaeology enthusiasts.

Many history majors have begun to discuss this.

It is believed that this is the place where the 'Communist War Zhurong' took place.

The Ruins of Zhurong were flooded? Happened twice? The second time happened to be the time when Dayu was controlling the flood, so it should be just a natural disaster.

But what about the first time? Could it be a man-made breach?

Five thousand years ago, the Liangzhu Culture had complete reservoir facilities, and the water conservancy projects during the Zhuanxu period should have been very developed.

The location of the site is very low, and it is not difficult to flood the whole city.

The Gonggong's dyke burst, submerging the country of Zhu Rong and turning it into the ruins of Zhu Rong. This may be the prototype of the Gonggong War of Zhu Rong.

Strictly speaking, it is a myth and legend. According to historical documents, only Zhuanxu and the Gonggong clan fought for the emperor, and Gonggong diverted water to flood the people.

So Zhuanxu is Zhu Rong?

Obviously, Zhu Rong and Gonggong are both clan positions. Before Zhuanxu became emperor, he was definitely not a commoner, and he must have held an extremely important position. This Zhu Rong's position is just right, under one person, above ten thousand people, at the same level There is only Gonggong. When Zhuanxu was still the 'defense minister', he had a fight with the Gonggong clan, and finally won the victory and became the emperor!

It's awesome, Zhu Rong made weapons like crazy, Gonggong directly opened the gate and released the water, flooding the Seventh Army. In this case, how did Zhu Rong win?

I've lost the people's hearts! Gonggong may have a small victory, but Zhu Rong definitely won't lose, because the Gonggong family, who is in charge of water conservancy, broke the embankment and drowned the people. He did it once, can he do it again and again? If you don't kill the snake, you will be to blame! In the end, it must only be named as tyranny!

Yes, Zhuanxu has no weapons and no army, but there are still people. Gonggong can submerge one city, can it be possible to submerge ten cities? Zhuanxu took the opportunity to guide public opinion and fight with righteousness. There will be swords, guns, and soldiers. Those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world!

The discussion on the forum flew up. In their opinion, this is another ancient legend verified by archaeological discoveries.

Of course, there is still no evidence, and the text has not been found by Mao, let alone the existence of Zhuanxu.

The water erosion of the ruins is too serious, and what is left to future generations is only this terrifying scale and countless mysteries.

...

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

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

So far, the sky is high and the bird is flying, and Huang Ji has to concentrate on the alien affairs and concentrate on development.

At this moment, he has already arrived in Luoyang, not to mention Luoyang, the archaeologists in the entire Yu Province have concentrated on the Ruins of Zhurong.

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

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 at a glance what is fake and what is real.

After visiting several stores in a row, everyone in the big store promoted him the treasures in the store, but Huang Ji didn't buy anything after a comment.

After visiting the store, he went to the stall again.

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

Others came with fakes, and Huang Ji pointed out the flaws on the spot.

After more than two hours, Huang Ji didn't buy anything.

Brother, what kind of antiques are you going to buy? Lin Li asked.

Huang Ji said: cheap antiques.

Lin Li was moved: Brother, you finally know how to save money!

For Huang Ji's plan, he purchased 12.5 kilograms of gold, and their cash flow was not much at this time.

Huang Ji smiled and said, It's better to be free...

Lin Li was stunned and didn't understand what it meant. How could there be free antiques?

They strolled 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, why did you buy gold? Although gold keeps its value, antiques appreciate better these days!

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

Gold was clearly agreed to buy early in the morning, but when he suddenly asked about it, he didn't really ask him.

This brother is right! Someone on the street apparently heard it and suddenly stepped forward to talk.

Lin Li glanced at him, and said with a blank face, Yes, here we come.

Huang Ji said unceremoniously, Who are you?

Haha, just call me Baihu, I admire my brother's vision, is my brother planning to buy antiques? The man was slightly chubby with a smile on his face.

Nonsense, am I here for a walk? Huang Ji spoke very aggressively.

But Baihu didn't mind at all, and still smiled: Would you like to go to my house? The old man is a collector. There are a lot of bottles and jars in the house, all of which are old objects. Go and see?

Huang Ji looked at him and smiled: Okay.

Just in the front yard, come with me! The man led Huang Ji and Lin Li to the deep alley.

There was a courtyard door in the deep alley. The man knocked on the door, and someone inside asked, Who is it?

Bai Hu said, Mao Monkey, it's me, open the door.

With a creak, the door opened, and Bai Hu led Huang Ji in.

Lin Li paused, but kept up, only to see that the man inside was thin and tall, like a bamboo pole.

Huang Ji looked around, and as soon as he entered the main room, he saw bottles and jars all over the floor, some painted pottery, some porcelain, and even bronze.

Some are quaint in style, while others are extremely beautiful.

Huang Ji first leaned down and took a closer look at each piece, especially the bronze mirror, he looked at it for an extra minute.

Then Huang Ji stood up and said with a smile, That's it?

Bai Hu smiled and said: Well, it seems that I can't hide it from my brother, but I actually don't understand it. It's all collected by the old man in the family. After the old man left, I feel that it should be valuable. I don't like this, so I want to take it all sell it.

Have you identified it? Huang Ji asked.

Bai Hu shook his head and said, I took out a piece of porcelain to appraise it, and it turned out that the appraisal fee cost 40,000 yuan, and then said that it was only from a folk kiln of the Song Dynasty, which is very common. The highest bid was only 100,000 yuan. No one's appraisal experts make more money... Where can you make sense?

Huang Ji tilted his head and said, Ah? Is the appraisal fee so expensive? You won't be fooled, will you?

The hairy monkey said to the side: Isn't it? That's why I said don't even identify it at all, and sell it in whole batches.

One hundred thousand pieces, a total of four million, if you like it, take it all! Bai Hu said.

Huang Ji smiled and said, Is there a fake mixed in here?

Bai Hu shook his head and said, I don't know, I don't understand this. If you want to know the goods, buy them. If you don't believe in your own eyesight, then forget it. I'll wait until I know the goods.

Huang Ji glanced at it and said, This, this... and this one are all fakes. You dare to sell them for 100,000?

He proudly identified more than a dozen fakes, all of which were modern handicrafts.

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

Bai Hu said blankly, Ah? Don't lie to me?

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

Bai Hu asked, What about the rest?

Let's see... Huang Ji pretended to taste it again, and then said with disgust: This porcelain vase is fake... This teapot is also a fake...

After he said a few more items were fakes, Baihu interrupted directly: Don't say it! Are you going to say that they are all fakes?

There are still genuine ones... Huang Ji smiled.

Bai Hu said in disbelief, I just pick a piece of porcelain and it's worth 100,000 yuan. How can there be so many fakes? Do you know the goods?

Mao Hou shouted from behind: Anyway, one hundred thousand yuan is sold in 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 any cash, can I have gold?

My brother, I changed all my money into gold bars.

Of course Bai Hu knew, he heard Huang Ji's five million gold bars.

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

Okay, my brother and I are going to drive to get the money. Huang Ji said, and left with Lin Li.

After the two left, Mao Hou leaned on the wall and looked out. After seeing Huang Ji walking away, he came back and said to Bai Hu, Brother Hu, the inscription mirror with Feixian pattern is really sold for 4 million?

Baihu tapped the hairy monkey's head and said, What else do you want? Don't be too greedy, you can't get it in the store to sell it, right? Anyway, there is no real business, mixed with a bunch of fakes, selling four million, that's enough.

We managed to meet someone who is knowledgeable and rich, and we are lucky.
