The morning light gradually dews, and the sun rises in the east.

The desert was covered with a layer of glow.

There are still a few days until the Waking of Insects, but it feels like the temperature has not risen much. The dark side of the sand dunes is covered with thick snow, and after a few breaths, frost appears on the face.

Li Dingan swung his arms, strode into the restaurant, and bumped into Gao Shengdong and Bai Ru.

There were a lot of people behind, all of them graduate students from the Yuan Ming Department. They seemed to have just eaten and were preparing to enter the cabin.

"Senior Brother Gao, Senior Sister Bai!" Li Ding'an waved to the back again, "Hello, senior brothers and sisters!"

The classmates laughed hurriedly.

In order to maintain their enthusiasm and fear that some students would not understand what this excavation meant to them, Professor Wu still revealed a little bit before leaving: If you perform well, whether you can stay in Beijing and whether you can be admitted to the staff depends on this. Once.

Don't let down the opportunity that Li Ding'an finally fought for for you...

So when I saw Li Ding'an again, my mood was different again. For a moment, I didn't know what to call him.

"Mr. Li..."

A senior sister with a fourth-level Ph.D., who should be a teaching assistant, opened her mouth when she was interrupted by Li Ding'an: "Junior brother Li, you can call me by name!"

He greeted his classmates again: "Monitor, Axiu, Zong Jiang... I've been a little busy these two days, and I have to go out. Let's get together when we get back!"

The seven people kept nodding.

Bai Ru led the team into the cabin, and Gao Shengdong stayed for a while.

The two of them went to the restaurant. Gao Shengdong took out his cigarette case and lit a cigarette for Li Ding'an while blocking the wind.

"Thank you!"

He said these two words a bit too much, but Gao Shengdong really didn't know how to express them.

He was promoted to associate professor, but everyone in the college, from the dean to the students, knew how he became an associate professor: the subject content was given by Li Ding'an, the direction of the paper was also given by Li Ding'an, and even the submission, publication, and There is a shadow of Li Ding'an in all the publications.

Yes, he is capable, and his research and teaching skills are not bad, but so what?
This is Peking University, a top university with a gathering of talented people. There are many lecturers at the same level as him and with more seniority than him.

How long will it take to defeat Dong himself?
It might be five years, it might be ten years...

It's the same this time.

Students can add glory to their resumes by working in the logistics of the project team, but what about the person in charge of the teaching and research team?
He once served as the leader of a certain teaching and research group at the School of Culture and Museum of Peking University, participated in the excavation of a certain ruins project, and organized research on a certain topic...

To put it cruelly: if Li Ding'an hadn't designated him, Gao Shengdong wouldn't be around in another ten years.

Li Ding'an smiled: "You said it, why should we be polite between brothers?"

Gao Shengdong was stunned for a moment.

Suddenly, he tried to recall: When did he say this?
Was it at the Shanghai auction when I met Li Ding'an for the first time and sent him a set of study minutes for the first year of graduate school, or was it when he came to report and helped him apply for a meal card, student ID, and library card?
Just two insignificant things, only a year passed, but it seemed like half a lifetime?
The family moved out of a basement of less than ten square meters, and he was promoted to associate professor and became the leader of the research group... It was still only one year, and he achieved achievements that he had never dared to dream of in two and a half lifetimes...

Gao Shengdong wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be stuffed with a ball of cloth, and his throat couldn't stop rolling.

"Did you learn this from your wife?"

Li Ding'an didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Forget about mother-in-law and mother-in-law, go to work and keep an eye on it..."

Opportunities are hard to come by, so if the teaching and research team cannot produce sufficiently eye-catching results this time, Gao Shengdong will have no choice but to remain an associate professor.

"it is good!"

Gao Shengdong turned around and left. Li Ding'an shook his head, smiled, and put out the cigarette butt.

Turning around, Shu Jing was standing not far away.

"have eaten?"

"Well, wait for you... Today we have mutton siomai and beef buns. I asked the master to leave two cages for you... What to drink, porridge, spicy soup!"

"Let's make soup...actually, I can just make it myself!"

Shu Jinghao looked at him: "I'll let you do it yourself. Can you have a hot meal in a month?"

Li Ding'an choked.

When doing research, he was most afraid of interrupting his train of thought, so he always ate when he was hungry. There was no such thing as "meal time" at all. But the restaurant can't serve him alone. It would be nice to have something to eat.

Of course it's a cold meal.

"It's okay to change to someone else! Lao Ma said that he was going to transfer you to the research team, but you won't go?"

"How can you earn as much as being your assistant?"

It is indeed very high, but Li Ding'an really treats her like a donkey, so it is natural that the subsidy should be higher.

The key is that Shu Jing has a very good understanding and writes a paper very well. It's really a bit unfair to let her do the work of serving others...

She leaned her chin into the restaurant, "I heard that Secretary Yin followed Director Yan when he was still the deputy director?"

That's simply not the case.

In the system, a rising tide lifts all boats. If leaders are promoted, secretaries will also be promoted.

But when doing academic research, no matter whose assistant you are, an assistant is just an assistant. If you want to be evaluated for a professional title or promoted, you must speak with real things.

So I have to say that Ma Xianming was very thoughtful.

"Can you still be my assistant for the rest of your life?"

"We won't talk until we can't do anything anymore." Shu Jing smiled amusedly, "Didn't Fang Zhijie go too?"

Li Ding settled down.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded: "Eat first!"

The steamed stuffed buns filled with pure beef have thin skin and lots of meat, and you can feel the oil pouring out when you take a bite.

The siomai was also very good. Li Dingan ate two baskets and drank two bowls of soup.

We ate a lot, but it only took about ten minutes before we entered the archaeological cabin, a quarter before eight o'clock.

The front cabin was densely packed with people, hundreds of them, and Ma Xianming was assigning tasks to each group.

He Anbang and Lu Benzhi seemed to be studying a document in the inner cabin.

Seeing Li Ding'an, He Anbang waved and raised the piece of paper in his hand to him. "Lao Lu and I have discussed the general archaeological and research directions. Come over and take a look and see if you want to add anything else!"

Li Ding'an took it in his hand and swept it casually:
A typical late Tang ruins in Inner Mongolia—Hunshan Ancient City.

The relationship between the ancient city of Hunshan and the Daming Palace in Chang'an during the Tang Dynasty.

Looking at the changes in the Hunshan Desert from the ancient city in the late Tang Dynasty.

A further study of the time of the Tang Dynasty’s demise.

Archeology of the military and political establishment in Inner Mongolia during the late Tang and Five Dynasties.

The application of metaphysics, astrology and religious theories in the layout of the capital in the Tang Dynasty...

It involves geography, geology, history, military, politics, humanities, religion... There are more than ten items in total, what else needs to be added?
"Is it too much?"

"There are too few research directions. How to improve the project evaluation level?"

The excavation project approval level is currently at the ministry level. What Lao He is talking about is the research project and subject level: this is reported first, and the Cultural Heritage Bureau and the Ministry will add or delete it as appropriate, and then evaluate and accept it after the research is completed.

What level it can reach depends on the final research and academic results, and it is also related to the later level of site protection and management.

Of course, the higher the level, the better.

"How high are you going to raise it?"

He Anbang pinched his chin: "Why does it have to reach the level of "Archaeology of China"?"

That is a proper national major archaeological project.

It is very difficult, but it is not impossible: even though it is just a small broken city, it has a profound understanding of the political system and national governance, capital construction and architectural art, national integration and cultural exchanges, and the role of underground geology in various historical periods during the late Tang and Five Dynasties. The evolution and changes of the period are all reflected to varying degrees...

There are really not many research directions, and the coverage is not generally broad.

Li Ding'an thought for a while: "Anyway, sooner or later, we will have to repay it, so let's add another one: Chinese Feng Shui culture - the excavation and research of the Feng Shui ruins of Naiman Qinglong Mountain in Tongliao and the Feng Shui ruins of Hunshan Ancient City in Ximeng!"

Lu Benzhi was stunned for a moment, and his eyes slowly opened wide: I just said that Lao He has a big appetite, but I didn't expect that you have a bigger appetite than him?
If you can put the prefix "China" in front of the research direction, it must be a major national archaeological project... It is equivalent to telling the superior unit that the research results will definitely reach this level. If you don't believe it, just wait and see.

"Can the project be approved by the higher authorities?"

Li Ding'an nodded: "It should be possible."

Anyway, it was the curator who said: Li Ding'an, you must first dare to think and act, and then think about how to do it well... Look, am I brave enough to think?
So sure?

Suspicious, Lu Benzhi looked at He Anbang.

Old He was smiling.

"why are you laughing?"

"It's nothing... He is in charge, he has the final say!"

Oh yes……

With a few swipes, Lu Benzhi wrote it down on the paper.

"Then let's report it like this first... But there is still a problem..." He raised his head, "If it is approved, who will be responsible for this last item?"

"I'll do it... I'll be back after the inspection is almost completed..."

"Nonsense, we want others to be responsible, but someone must understand!" He Anbang took the paper and said, "Let's make an agreement first. If we report it to you, we can't change it?"

"Can I still regret it?"

Li Ding'an stood up and said, "You are the leader. You decide the rest. I'll go in and take a look!"

He Anbang waved his hand and watched him enter the inner cabin. He picked up his pen and added three words after "Chinese Feng Shui Culture": Li Ding'an.

This is also written when applying, which means that Li Ding'an is responsible for the research direction design and specific research.

Then he waved to Ma Xianming.

"Just press this."

Ma Xianming took it and took a look: "Chinese Feng Shui Culture... He won't go to the Science and Technology Innovation Bureau?"

"I will definitely go, but he will need to run in both directions, which will be a bit harder."

This is not a matter of "a little hard work": it is impossible to find any basis for a completely new research direction, and the theoretical system and knowledge structure must be built from scratch.

The energy required must be several times that of the "Mongolian Porcelain Project" period, and the time span will be at least several years. Therefore, Ma Xianming believes that Li Ding'an will not be able to start planning until the Science and Technology Innovation Bureau's project is completed...

Lu Benzhi suddenly understood why Lao He was so happy just now: "Archaeology of China" is basically stable, the only difference lies in which year it was evaluated.

What's more important is that Li Ding'an will not come back after arriving at the Science and Technology Innovation Bureau for several months.

Ma Xianming thought for a while: "Then who will be responsible for the project when he is away?"

"The information and data he needs are basically covered in the research contents of each group. They can be used as they come. There is no need to organize special people for research... He just takes the time to summarize and then set a general framework and specific directions... "

"Then someone has to be responsible?"

"Why are you so stubborn?"

He Anbang sighed, "Since he didn't mention it, it means that the assistant team is completely sufficient...it's just for writing a few papers. Aren't Shu Jinghao and Fang Zhijie already at their fingertips?"

More than a few articles?
A dozen or twenty articles are just the beginning of a completely new research direction and theoretical system.

If we need more, it is not impossible to publish a literature treatise...

"Well, publish a book?"

Ma Xianming's eyes went straight, "No wonder Shu Jinghao and Fang Zhijie are not willing to go when they are transferred to the research team?"

"You are inverting cause and effect... You should think of it this way: It was precisely because they did not go to the research team that Li Ding'an advanced the project schedule..."

That seems to be the case?
Shu Jinghao and Fang Zhijie will probably cry with joy when they find out.

To be exaggerated: Li Ding'an is the originator of this direction. When the paper is published and the systematic treatise is published, the majors in the majors of cultural, museum, ancient architecture, etc. in major universities will definitely quote part of it and add it to their textbooks.

Even if he is the second or third author, he is still proud of himself.

And given Li Ding'an's nature, he would definitely let them publish some papers as the first author. Isn't this a hundred times better than joining the research team and helping Yao Chuan and Wei Zili? (End of chapter)
