Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

Chapter 469 Roots

A group of Changhe Group executives attended a wedding at the city government hotel, while city government leader Shen Yang was thinking about the development of the city.

Years ago, investment promotion on Hong Kong Island was successful.

This huge sum of money entered Beining.

Erjingzi Town has already shoveled snow and marked lines on the wasteland, and the industrial park will start construction in half a month.

Seeing that another economic engine of Beining is about to take shape.

Everyone in the city government was delighted.

After these years of continuous construction, the city appearance of Bac Ninh City has also undergone great changes.

Since Beining was upgraded to a county-level city in the 80s, investment in municipal administration has been increasing year by year.

Later, it was separated from the Heihe area and became a city under the jurisdiction of the province. With the financial support of the province, investment in municipal construction was even greater.

Today, Bac Ninh has been upgraded to a prefecture-level city again.

With independent financial rights, Bac Ninh, the seat of the city government, once again has a reason to build.

In the past, Beining had only one main north-south main street - Traffic Road.

The original traffic road was from the square in front of Beining Railway Station in the south to the Zhuanpan Street intersection of Badao Street in the north.

Today's traffic road extends to the north.

Cross Beigang until the entrance of Erjingzi Town.

In other words, the area directly under the jurisdiction of Bac Ninh City has expanded a lot.

Not only that, the North and South Streets have been expanded again.

Three east-west streets have been expanded.

A three-horizontal and three-vertical transportation network pattern has been formed.

Various supporting constructions are also being implemented.

Thanks to investment promotion in recent years, the urban population has already exceeded 60.

If the construction of the biomedical industrial park is completed, the population will increase by nearly [-] again.

By then, Bac Ninh will become a true prefecture-level city with a population of 70.

This does not include the population of subordinate counties and cities.

The development of a city is not only the development of economy, but also the development and precipitation of culture.

Shen Yang took a report from the Cultural Bureau and began to think deeply.

Speaking of which, Bac Ninh is an important northern town with a rich history.

However, in terms of cultural facilities, it is relatively lagging behind.

There are now movie theaters in Bac Ninh, but the decline of domestic movies in recent years has caused these theaters to close down.

There is a cultural center.

But it has also become a training base for children.

The cultural spare time life of adults is very scarce.

There are no official cultural groups in Bac Ninh except for Bac Ninh TV's self-produced programs such as "Bringing Out".

No wonder these.

The province's drama troupes and song and dance troupes no longer have any performances, and the financial expenditure pressure is great every year. Is Bac Ninh going to buck the trend?
Let’s not talk about these literary and artistic groups. Beining doesn’t even have a museum, which is very embarrassing.

There is a library, but it was rebuilt in the 80s. There are very few books collected and updated, mainly due to funding issues.

This report from the Cultural Affairs Bureau is to apply for funds to increase the collection of books in the library and prepare to build a Bac Ninh museum.

"It's a good thing, but where can we get the funds?"

Shen Yang has a headache about making money.

In the past two years, Beining has also experienced a real estate boom.The city government did have more money.

There are more places to spend money.

This money is not enough every year.

Moreover, the momentum of real estate development in Beining has weakened again, which also worries Shen Yang.

At the beginning, many well-connected private owners purchased land and developed and built new communities.

But I was dumbfounded when it started selling.

The sales momentum was not as hot as expected at all.

After analyzing the reasons, I realized that this was all Chang He's fault!

The reason is that Changhe Group has been developing and constructing employee residential buildings in a planned manner in recent years.

In Bac Ninh, Changhe Group is the largest private economic group.

Their employees are the most powerful group of people.

But the group provides welfare housing, so who would buy commercial housing outside? !
Just this one stone in Changhe has suppressed the housing prices in Beining.

These bosses who want to make real estate fortunes hate Changhe Group to death.

But also helpless.

The city government is also in a dilemma about this matter.

It cannot stop Changhe Group from building houses, but it also has a headache with the housing prices in Beining.

Shen Yang returned home with a gloomy look on his face.

Zhang Cuiping asked in confusion: "What? Is there anything unpleasant?"

"Oh, did you get it?"

He glanced at his wife and asked, "Tell me, what do we order in Beining?"

"What is missing?"

Zhang Cuiping turned around and thought for a moment.

"When you mention it like this, it seems like there is something wrong with it."

"You don't think you are any less educated?"

"Yes, yes, yes! It's culture."

Zhang Cuiping said suddenly.

“Walking on the street, I always feel like something is missing.”

"For example, the light poles on the street, the houses on both sides of the street, and the city's landmark buildings all lack some cultural elements."

"Oh, I really didn't pay attention to this angle."

Shen Yang didn't expect that his wife was talking about this.

"What are the shortcomings of other cultures?"

"Still missing?"

Zhang Cuiping thought for a while.

“The official cultural facilities are outdated and backward, there is no new investment, and there are no official cultural groups.”

"However, there are also many private groups. I went to see a two-person show yesterday, which was pretty good."

"The prosperity of the cultural market requires not only the participation of civil society groups, but also the active participation of our official art groups."

Shen Yang said with emotion.

"By the way, when it comes to the construction of cultural venues, I think it is a city museum."

Zhang Cuiping reacted and said.

"For example, the development history of Bac Ninh, old photos, cultural relics, etc. These are re-education for citizens. Let everyone know that this city did not appear out of thin air, but has its historical origin. That is what we call the roots. .The roots of the city.”

Zhang Cuiping talked eloquently.

Shen Yang looked at her with a smile. "Haha, I didn't expect your level to be so high?! That makes sense!"

"Hi, I'm studying urban culture these two days."

"Yes, Beining really needs to launch a root-finding operation."

"Hey, this matter can allow the TV station to record several special programs!"

"Do you have any idea?"

"It records our city's root searchers going to various places to find historical relics and stories about Bac Ninh. Such a program should be great to watch."

"That's a good idea."

After the wedding, several families returned to the farm.

March on the farm is still a time of ice and snow.

The spring breeze came early, but it brought a chill.

It is still cold in the morning and evening, and only the strong solar energy at noon melts the snow.

The road was wet, and occasionally small streams of water crossed the road.

Reservoir employees have begun removing ice and snow.

The machines in the feed mill roar all day long.

After Lu Changhua saw off his children, he went to the reservoir.

The dirt road was frozen solid in the morning and turned into mud at noon.

He shook the mud off his feet and rubbed his shoes on the dry weeds.

Try to walk on grassy roadsides.

We walked around the reservoir before going back.

Beining TV broadcasted a program in the form of a reality documentary, "Looking for the Roots of the City".

This caught Lu Changhua's attention.

After reading one issue, he realized that it turned out that Bac Ninh wanted to build a city museum. He needed to find some memories and cultural relics about the city of Bac Ninh to show the city's historical context. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a journey to find the roots.

He immediately thought of his warehouse.

These cultural relics all came from Soviet Russia.

But there are a lot of Chinese cultural relics inside.

There are some cultural relics from the Bac Ninh area that have not been preserved here.

Think so.

He had an idea in his mind.

"Daughter-in-law, I have something to discuss with you."

Lu Changhua called Wang Yao.

He told Beining about building a museum.

"There are a lot of cultural relics in our warehouse, and there may be cultural relics related to Beining in there. I would like to ask for your opinion."

"You want to donate?"

"That's what it means."

"Then I don't have any objections. There's no point in leaving it in a warehouse to gather dust. Taking it out and displaying it in a museum will mean a lot more."

"I think so too."

Seeing that Wang Yao agreed, he called Shen Yang.

"Boss, I heard that a museum is going to be built?"

"Yes, you are well-informed."

"Hey, I know it from TV too."

"What? What do you think?"

"I have some cultural relics here that may have something to do with our Beining. I don't know the details. It would be best to have experts identify them."

"Oh? This is a good thing. Are you willing to do it?"

"Hey, why don't you give it up? If you put it here, it will just eat dust in the warehouse. If you put it in a museum, it will benefit the public."

"It's good that you have this awareness. It's better to enjoy cultural relics alone than to enjoy them all. Okay, I'll look for experts in the next few days and go to your warehouse to take a look."

Lu Changhua has deep feelings for his hometown.

The reason why I haven't left for so many years is because I want to make some contribution to the development of my hometown.

At least the money stays here.

Therefore, he did not leave even after marrying a wife and having children.

Now my hometown is building a museum, and I happen to have something, so it is being hidden away.

If you have to hand it in, hand it in.

That night, Wang Yao came back.

"You really don't feel bad?"

"I don't feel bad. I got it with food. Why do I feel bad?"

"Besides, what we donated are cultural relics related to Beining, not everything. Don't worry."

"I don't feel sorry for these rags."

Wang Yao said with a smile.

"There's just some furniture and stuff inside, and it looks pretty good. If we go into the city, we'll put it up if we can use it, so as not to collect dust in the warehouse."

"Okay, I'll satisfy you, okay?!"

"It's almost there."

"I've satisfied you, then you..."

"What happened to me?"

"Is it... hmm?"

"I don't understand, people don't understand."

The couple's private life went on quietly again.

The next day, Lu Changhua took Hu Dagui to the reservoir to relax.

"Changhua, I have heard that there are interesting things in these large warehouses, but I have never seen them before."

"What? Want to see?"

"Forget it, I don't understand it after reading it."

"Let's go, I want to see it anyway."

The two entered the warehouse.

From the outside, the warehouse looks medium-sized.

But as soon as I came in, I discovered it.

This warehouse is indeed tall.

The boxes inside are neatly stacked, like a hill.

"Pull it down, what are you looking at? Are you looking at the box?"

Hu Dagui lost interest as soon as he saw it. He didn't want to look at wooden boxes in this cold warehouse.

"Yeah, I'm not interested either."
