Chapter 434 The Wheat of the Western Han Dynasty in Shangqiu Ancient City

After taking a few turns, Song Wen finally arrived at Shangqiu Ancient City at noon the next day.

The ancient city of Shangqiu can be described as a miracle, a miracle of civilization that overlaps the five thousand years of history of China.

In the early 1990s, Mr. Zhang Guangzhi, a Chinese archaeologist at Harvard University in the United States, discovered the ruins of several ancient cities vaguely overlapping from the ancient city of Shangqiu and its southwest from aerial photos in the 1960s. He then strongly suggested that China and the United States jointly excavate the ancient city of Shangqiu, and hoped to find the Xianshang site here on this basis. Four years later, the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the Peabody Museum of Harvard University in the United States, and found the Yingtian Prefecture City of the Song Dynasty, the Songzhou City of the Sui and Tang Dynasties in the Han Dynasty and the capital of the Song Dynasty in the Western Zhou Dynasty under the layers of yellow sand in the eastern Henan Plain, which was as open as yellow sand, was found from top to bottom, the Songzhou City of the Sui and Tang Dynasties in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Sui and Yang City of the Han Dynasty and the capital of the Song State of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Fortunately, there was an archaeological discovery that time, otherwise Song Wenzhen would not know how to find the route recorded on the Tiansijuan map.

Today's ancient city of Shangqiu was built in the Ming Dynasty, inherited from the Yuan Dynasty, and the Yuan Dynasty also inherited from the Song Dynasty.

Although the city outline has been passed down from generation to generation, the outline of the city has remained basically intact, but now it has changed dramatically and has changed a lot, and it has long since become the same as before. If it weren't for the discovery of archaeological experts, he would have been unable to determine the address of Yingtian Prefecture, where the treasures were buried.

After some exploration, he found that the treasure-hiding place shown on the Tiansi Shui map was crushed under several residential buildings. The place was Yingtian Prefecture in the Song Dynasty, but now it has become a residential house.

Now, Song Wen felt it was difficult to deal with. He was pressed under the house and asked him to get the treasure? This was obviously impossible. After thinking about it, he quickly took the bronze mirror and started to detect it carefully. Logically speaking, there should be an entrance to the place where the treasure was buried.

After searching carefully, he finally found the entrance. Unfortunately, there was a thick layer of wooden boards on it, covered with thick soil. A house was covered with the soil.

What should I do?

Song Wen scratched his head, turned around and looked around, and found a hotel next to the house. He couldn't help but be overjoyed. He could stay in that hotel tonight, and then dig an authentic tunnel from the house to the entrance to the treasure. Thinking of it, he hurriedly walked towards the hotel.

He booked a room at the hotel, and he went out for a walk, had some food, and then went back to the house, intending to take action later.

It was still early. I was bored in bed, so Song Wen turned on the TV to watch it.

"According to the latest news, Xinjiang Turpan archaeological experts discovered 3,100 wheat straw trees during the archaeology of the Shengjindian ancient tomb group in Turpan. According to archaeologists, these wheat straws are 10 cm thick, and under the wheat straw are camel thorns of 15 cm to 20 cm thick. It is said that these wheat straws are also the most numerous and best preserved wheat in the history of world archaeology so far.

The unearthed wheat dates about 2,200 years ago to 2,050 years ago, and should have been in the Western Han Dynasty or earlier. The wheat from more than two thousand years ago is still golden and fresh, and it has been crushed. Some wheat straws also have complete golden ears on them.

After research by experts, it was found that the average wheat grains per wheat plant in Turpan area more than 2,000 years ago reached 10 grains. Researchers from the Department of Science and Technology and Archaeology of the School of Humanities and the Chinese Academy of Sciences said, "There are 20 to 30 grains per wheat grain per plant. After two thousand years of development, the wheat grains have only doubled, indicating that the wheat cultivation technology in Turpan at that time was already very advanced."

When Song Wen heard the news broadcast on TV news, his heart moved slightly.

The wheat is buried underground for more than two thousand years and is still well preserved. I don’t know if it has been carbonized and can it sprout?

Nowadays, wheat has been improved and mutated, no longer the original wild wheat. Wheat in the Western Han Dynasty should be the closest to the wild state. So Song Wen wanted to get some of the Ruyi Fans to see what these wheats that are close to the wild state will become after being nourished by the spring water in the Ruyi Fans.

Thinking of it, he picked up his cell phone and started calling.

"Hey, Alan, where are you?"

He was fighting against Dan Tai Minglan, who was an archaeological expert and should know these things.

"What are you doing?" Dan Tai Minglan asked unhappily when answering the phone.

This broken man hasn't called her for so long. Although she didn't ask for anything like status, the two of them had a skin relationship no matter how they said, so they had to care for her. But this guy was fine. He never knew how to call and greet him and care for him. He was timid when he went to his house, and he didn't even dare to look at him. He didn't know if he was a rat, and he was so brave.

"I'll ask you something, do you know that Turpan discovered wheat from the Western Han Dynasty?"

"Know."

"Can those wheat sprout?"

“I haven’t tried it.”

"Then can you help me get a few wheat seeds? I want to try to see if I can plant it."

"Let me try it. You call me for this?" Dan Tai Minglan asked dissatisfiedly.

"Uh..." Song Wen didn't know how to answer. He called for this. But if he said this, it seemed a bit hurtful. Then what should he say? For a moment, Song Wen hesitated. After thinking about it, he wanted to speak, but heard a "beep, beep" sound from his phone.

"A bad guy, you know that there is nothing good about you calling."

Dan Tai Minglan cut off the call and said annoyedly: "You are such a bad person. You don't know what you want to ask, so you will instruct others. My aunt is unwilling to be a cow or a horse for you?" As she said that, she muttered a few more hatefully before turning around and leaving. Even though she said that, she finally got some wheat for Song Wen through her relationship and sent it.

Seeing Dan Tai Minglan hung up the phone, Song Wen didn't call again. After talking to Xiaojun for a while, he lay on the bed and squinted. He opened his eyes to close the door again when it was quiet outside, turned off the TV and lights again. Then he listened to it and took a closer look with a bronze mirror. He saw that everyone in the room on both sides had slept and started to act.

Song Wen lives on the bottom floor of the hotel, removes the ceramic tiles laid on the ground, and the soil layer is below, which is easy to do.

First, he gently moved the bed where he was lying just now, and then gently pried the tiles on the ground with a knife and put them into Ruyi Fan. He dug the tunnel from under the sleeping bed, and then moved the bed back, and there would be no strangeness, so as not to be found in anyone.

After prying up the tiles, he put the soil below into Ruyi Fan, created a passage for people to walk on, and then carefully checked the location and dug it to the place where he found the treasure hidden in the morning.

At this time, most people had already slept, and he put the soil directly into Ruyi Fan, without any sound, so he went all the way safely and was not discovered. After a while, he came to the treasure entrance covered with wooden boards.

The exit of the hole he dug happened to be on the edge of the wooden board covering the treasure.

A narrow stone step is connected to the place covered with wooden boards. Below the stone steps are a pair of wooden doors, with a large lock on the door, but it is already rusty.
