The front of the car drove directly out of the shed and the carriage was unloaded to the ground.

Lao Wang and his men quickly opened the carriage to all directions.

Wow~
As the carriages were placed on the ground in all directions.

A huge monster wrapped in white cotton cloth appeared.

Wait until Lao Wang and others carefully uncovered the white cloth.

A huge, pitch-black ancient treasure ship with many signs of corrosion, with the bow and stern removed, leaving only a huge middle section, appeared in front of everyone.

"Wow~"

"Wow~"

"Wow~"

Looking at the things, the students led by Teacher Meng, including Zhang Li's sister Zhang Puru, all couldn't help but exclaimed.

Something like this,
It was the first time they met.

This ship was obviously buried under the silt and fine sand on the seabed and had been baptized by time and years. Everyone had only seen it in textbooks before.

Everyone was surprised to see this thing, in its most primitive state, appear in front of them.

Even Mr. Meng, the experienced doctoral supervisor, couldn't help but widen his pupils.

“This is the treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty!”

"Looking at the style and remaining accessories, this seems to be a special treasure ship that only the royal family can use!"

in the crowd,
A PhD student whose research area is ancient ships quickly pointed out the name of the ship.

"Mr. Zhang, what does this mean?"

A few minutes later,

Seeing that Zhang Li didn't say anything, Teacher Meng suddenly asked.

"Teacher Meng, I would like to ask you to help clean up the things on this ship!"

"There are a lot of high-grade porcelain in here!"

"Also, it would be great if it could be repaired. The bow and stern are still there!"

In response to Mr. Meng's question,
Zhang Li slowly stated his purpose.

"I will provide corresponding remuneration and subsidies, which will definitely be much higher than the relevant regulations of the school, so that students will not work in vain!"

Seeing that Teacher Meng didn't respond, Zhang Li continued.

To clean up this kind of ancient shipwreck, professionals are needed.

Rough men like Lao Wang, and even myself, can't do this job.

"Mr. Zhang!"

“This may not be the case!”

Zhang Li didn't expect that
After hearing what he said, Teacher Meng waited for a long time before slowly speaking.

"Teacher Meng, if you have anything to say, please feel free to tell me!"

Seeing Teacher Meng's hesitation, Zhang Li spoke directly.

"That!"

"Actually, we are one family, so I'll just say it straight!"

“Puru girl enthusiastically brought me here. I thought this place was a relic dug out of the ground!”

"If it is a relic, I am qualified and have the authority to conduct archaeological excavation!"

"Because I also have a part-time job at the Cultural Relics Institute!"

"But I didn't expect that this thing is not a relic, but an ancient ship!"

Teacher Meng slowly explained his reasons.

"Although my students and I have the corresponding professional capabilities to clean up this kind of ancient ship, we don't have the authority!"

"This kind of large-scale cultural relic cleaning requires special procedures!"

Teacher Meng told Zhang Li that she actually did not have the authority.

"More importantly, this ancient ship of yours looks like it was salvaged!"

"Out of professional ethics and job requirements, I see this kind of thing in private hands now, and I need to report it according to regulations!"

"Your ancient ship looks like it has been out of water for less than a month..."

Teacher Meng told her something that was even more difficult for her.

Things appear,

Not only was she unable to help clean up,
even,

Because of the rules and regulations, she needs to report it the first time she sees something, which directly puts Zhang Ting in a difficult position.

originally,

I thought it was another relic that could publish many papers.

Teacher Meng didn't expect that it would turn out to be something like this in the end.

She has the authority and qualifications to conduct archaeological excavations of relics.

In the end, she only needs academic things from the archaeological finds, and she will hand over the cultural relics found in the end.

but,

The big ship in front of me is different.

She and her students have the expertise to count these things, but they don't have the qualifications or authority.

Although it is not stated explicitly,

But Teacher Meng still could tell at a glance that this was definitely a new discovery.

Although I don't know how the tension in the sea was brought back to Chang'an, an inland city.

but,

Now that we know this, this thing did not come in through formal channels, because if it came in through formal channels, it would be impossible for it to be in Zhang Li's private hands.

What Teacher Meng needs to do then is to report this matter.

It's not that she has a problem with Zhang Li,
Rather, this is her job responsibility and requirement...

"elder brother!!"

"Where did this thing come from?!"

"My advisor means that she can report it later. If you take the initiative to report it during this period, the situation will be different!"

"You didn't tell me it was such a huge antique!"

Seeing the instructor deliberately slow down his pace when speaking, Zhang Puru understood that the instructor had to report what he saw due to regulations and professional ethics.

but,

For his own sake, the instructor also created time for Zhang Li to explain himself.

This thing,
Active and passive are two completely different concepts.

"I go!!!"

Zhang Li was speechless after listening to what Teacher Meng and his sister said.

He originally thought that
Teacher Meng suddenly became silent and hesitant because he was having technical difficulties.

now,

What he didn't expect was that,
The difficulty turned out to be the issue of permissions.

This large shipwreck of his looked like it had been recently excavated.

This thing belongs to the country!
This was seen by Mr. Meng from the regular army, and he had to report the action according to the system!

"Teacher Meng!"

"I didn't make it clear!"

"My bad, my bad!"

Seeing his sister Zhang Puru's worried and regretful look, Zhang Li smiled slightly and looked at Teacher Meng again.

Now that the cause of the incident has been found,

That would be easy!
Even though Zhang Li pulled the things back secretly, it really doesn't need to be handed in.

Because I have the procedures!

While asking Teacher Meng and others to stay calm, Zhang Li quickly walked out of the shed and took a red notebook from his car.

"Teacher Meng, look!"

"I have received a certificate of merit. How could I possibly do something like digging up cultural relics privately?"

Zhang Li showed the new award certificate he had just received to Teacher Meng.

"what?"

"what?"

"what?"

After opening the certificate and seeing the stamp on the lower right corner, Professor Meng and her doctoral student were stunned.

Did the Institute of Cultural Relics give such a generous reward to Zhang Li for his donation of cultural relics?

and,

Among them are not only the Cultural Relics Institute, but also the seals of several major departments of Shendu?

No one dares to forge such a high-level certificate.

On the one hand, I don't dare.
On the other hand, it cannot be counterfeited and will be exposed upon investigation.

therefore,

After seeing Zhang Li’s certificate, Teacher Meng quickly determined that it was authentic.

I thought,

Zhang Li came and asked her to clean up the ancient shipwreck privately, which would cause trouble for her.

and,

Zhang Li secretly brought such a large ancient ship back to Chang'an City, and he might have taken a special route. Teacher Meng had already made the decision to stay away from people like Zhang Li.

She had no idea.

Zhang Li actually handed her such a high-level certificate.

and,

Looking at the time when the award certificate was presented, it was actually today.

"Teacher Meng!"

"The two animal heads whose information was recently exposed were donated by me!"

"In addition, I also donated a lot of cultural relics related to evidence of Japanese crimes to the Jinling Museum!"

Seeing that Teacher Meng was shocked, Zhang Li whispered another sentence.

The matter of the Nine Cauldrons has not been announced by the National Cultural Relics Institute yet, so he cannot say anything about it.

He told Teacher Meng that the Cultural Relics Institute had already released news about his identity as the animal heads donor. "Did you donate the dog and snake heads?"

Hearing this, Teacher Meng was also shocked.

Of course she knew that the dog head and the snake head had returned.

Moreover, as a professional, she also knew that to get something like this, not only money but also powerful force was needed.

Teacher Meng didn't expect that.
Zhang Puru, a student I thought came from an ordinary family, turned out to have such ability.

Seeing the tension,
Thinking about the certificate in Zhang Li's hand, Teacher Meng felt that what Zhang Li said was true.

"Correct!"

"I went to the United States some time ago, and I asked someone to buy it back!"

Seeing that Teacher Meng's mood had changed, Zhang Li immediately responded.

"How is it, Mr. Meng?"

"I am also a member of the organization, and I am also an upright person!"

"With this certificate as evidence, can I invite you to preside over the cleaning of my ancient ship?"

"All the academic achievements related to archaeology belong to you, Mr. Meng, and your students!"

Seeing that Teacher Meng's expression had improved, Zhang Li asked again.

"I…."

Zhang Li’s words made Teacher Meng hesitate.

Of course she knew that with a prize of this level, Zhang Li's identity was certified by the organization.

but,

Out of consideration for her professional ethics and academic reputation, she didn't want to do anything that might bring shame to herself.

Teacher Meng’s husband is a high-ranking official.

In addition to pursuing her own academic status, she also has to consider more situations when doing things.

Tension is indeed rewarded;
However, it cannot be ruled out that some people accept rewards and use them as a cover to do more illegal things.

The possibility of this happening exists.
Because of her spouse, Teacher Meng has to think more than others.

"Teacher Meng, I'm telling the truth!"

"I discovered this thing when I went to the United States last time, and asked a team to make it and bring it back!"

Seeing Teacher Meng's hesitation, Zhang Li chose to reveal more.

Just as Mr. Meng thought, this ancient ship is too precious and valuable.

And because of the special nature of porcelain, he had to find professionals to clean this ancient ship.

The best candidate at the moment,
It’s my sister’s mentor, Mr. Meng.

Find other professionals to do it, as those people may still have the same problems as Teacher Meng.

That matter does not bother two masters,
At this moment, the most effective method is to directly eliminate Mr. Meng’s other concerns.

The tension of making a decision,
Seeing that Teacher Meng still had concerns, he immediately started to explain from beginning to end.

"Teacher Meng, look!"

“This is a photo of the ancient ship being salvaged!”

"I hired a Chinese team overseas to salvage the items!"

"These are the coordinates and photos of the ancient ship when the shipwreck was salvaged! The ancient ship appeared off the west coast of the United States!"

“This is a photo of my ship when it was officially unloaded from Songhai Wharf!”

“It’s all recorded!”

“They are all regular!”

Zhang Li said,

At the same time, he took out some photos that Zhuang Fan had sent him before and showed them to Teacher Meng.

When Teacher Meng saw that the ancient ship was salvaged from U.S. waters, Zhang Li noticed that Teacher Meng's eyes began to change.

It is clear,
Bringing back the ancient ship of Daxia from the hands of the Americans is not only faultless but also a great achievement.

"Teacher Meng!"

"Please wait a moment. I'm going to call my boss. I wonder if you know him!"

As Teacher Meng's expression softened and he continued to look at the photos.

Zhang Li thought about it for a moment and immediately called Director Li of the Shendu Cultural Relics Institute.

All the evidence has been laid out.
Just find a witness.

All of Teacher Meng’s concerns were dispelled.

"Director Li, is this convenient for you? I have something to report to you!"

After the call was connected, Zhang Li asked politely.

"Convenient, what's the matter with you little brat?"

On the other end of the line, seeing Zhang Li coming, Director Li happily answered the call.

People feel happy when good things happen to them. Because of the contribution of the super artifact Jiuding, he has already competed for a higher position.

Although it has not been announced yet,

But the organization has already talked to him.

And the reason for all this is because of tension.

therefore,

Director Li was very happy to receive a call from Zhang Li, the lucky general.

"Director Li, this is what happened. I asked a professor to help me count some cultural relics!"

"The professor here is a little worried that my cultural relics are not from legitimate sources, so I need you to be a witness!"

fast,

Zhang Li expressed his needs.

"Row!"

"Give me the phone!"

Hearing this, Director Li did not refuse.

Zhang Li had a lot of cultural relics in his hands, of course he knew that.

However, as long as the cultural relics are on the land of Daxia, it doesn’t matter.

Zhang Li has already completed the procedures for opening a private museum, and Director Li certainly knows about it.

now,

Zhang Li wants to invite professionals to maintain the cultural relics, and Director Li is happy to be a witness.

"Hey!"

The phone was handed to Teacher Meng, and Director Li greeted him and was about to introduce himself.

He didn't expect that

The other end of the line asked back: "Lao Li?"

Teacher Meng actually knows Director Li.

She recognized Director Li's voice.

"Teacher Meng?"

When asked back by Teacher Meng, Director Li also recognized Teacher Meng's voice.

"How does he know you?!"

"How does he know you?!"

After the two got to know each other, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

To know,
Director Li is in charge of all matters concerning Daxia’s cultural relics.

Originally, Teacher Meng thought that Zhang Li would find someone from Songhai Port to testify for him.

She had no idea.

Zhang Li actually found the boss of the entire industry to testify!

Teacher Meng, who knew Director Li, had never expected that Zhang Li actually knew this person, and that Director Li actually agreed to testify for Zhang Li.

Teacher Meng had never expected such a scene.

of course,

Because of the appearance of Director Li, all the worries in her heart disappeared without a trace.

The bosses of the entire industry said that Zhang Li was fine, so she could confidently help Zhang Li clean the ancient ship and then obtain relevant academic information.

the other side,
Director Li had never expected that the person Zhang Li was looking for was actually Teacher Meng.

although,

Teacher Meng is a doctoral supervisor on the surface.

However, Director Li is very familiar with the person standing behind him!
Director Li didn't expect that.

The expert that Zhang Li found turned out to be Teacher Meng!
"Teacher Meng, Zhang Li found you...?"

Director Li couldn't help but become curious.

If Zhang Li is so well-informed, then he has a lot to think about.

"Just apply normally. Mr. Zhang's sister is my student!"

Teacher Meng, knowing what Director Li was asking, directly pointed out the reason.

"Okay, okay!"

"That's quite a coincidence!"

"Next time I go to Chang'an City to communicate with Zhang Li, Mr. Meng, how about we have a meal together?"

"Zhang Li said he wanted to build a private museum and open it to the public for free. He must have a lot of good stuff!"

After hearing Mr. Meng's answer, Director Li continued.

“And private museums?”

"Okay, let's talk about it next time!"

After hearing what Director Li said, Teacher Meng, who originally didn't like socializing, became quite interested.

quickly,

After exchanging a few polite words, the two of them hung up the phone.

"This brat actually knows Teacher Meng! And his sister is Teacher Meng's graduate student!"

"You're so lucky, kid!"

God's capital,

Director Li sighed after hanging up the phone.

I had already concluded that Zhang Li was my lucky star.

At this moment, because Zhang Li knew Teacher Meng, Director Li felt that he should take time to go to Chang'an City again...
