Reborn to be rich

Chapter 52 National Treasure Delivery Ceremony
"That's it? Isn't it just a note! What's the use of opening something, even if they open it for you, can you exchange it for money?" Bai Xinyi continued to persuade.

"Major Bai, do you think it's okay not to open a note?"

"It's... It's not that they are right if they don't get the note. They may have left in a hurry and forgot to take it! Do you think it's worth it to make such a small thing, and you say you're right when they come all the way? "

Zhang Guodong was no longer in the mood to continue talking to Bai Xinyi. He planned to go to the county town to call the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau directly tomorrow morning. Giving things to them would only fatten a large group of people.

"Okay! I'm very grateful that Head Bai came to our village today. It shows that the village attaches great importance to our village. Don't mention the cultural relics. I will definitely not keep things by myself. They want Follow the formal procedure tomorrow!" Zhang Guodong directly refused, and Bai Xinyi wanted to persuade him again, but saw that his eyes were already looking elsewhere so he didn't speak.

"That's right! Please ask the township to approve your family's application for the village base at Xidalukou, and you can come to the township to go through the formalities tomorrow." Seeing that Zhang Guodong didn't want to talk about it, Bai Xinyi said, At the meeting, Zhang Guodong was very dissatisfied with his dismantling, but he appreciated Zhang Guodong's handling ability and vision.

"Then thank you, the mayor! When I have a chance, I will go to the village to treat you to dinner!"

When Bai Xinyi left, Officer Wang looked at him, then at Zhang Guodong, then turned his head and left helplessly.

Not long after Mayor Bai and his party left, Chen Baijun came on his bicycle. He came to bring a message to Zhang Guodong. The city will have experts and reporters coming together.

Zhang Guodong also planned to take the matter to the city, but he didn't expect that Dou Jinpeng had already spread the news to the province and even brought a reporter with him, which saved him a lot of trouble.It seems that Dou Jinpeng's relationship is much stronger than he imagined. All the reporters in the province can be called, and it is impossible that there is no one on it.

Today, Township Chief Bai was able to solve the matter of the Zhuang base. It must be because Zhang Guodong couldn’t be frightened and didn’t want this matter to cause trouble for himself. He told the village several times about the Zhuang base. Not approved yet.

In the early morning of the next day, the villagers of the second team got up relatively early, and everyone went out early to clean their own doors. The staff of the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau came to Zhangjialing Village early in the morning, and there were 9 workers in two cars. staff, two of whom are also provincial newspaper reporters.

"Hello! We are from the Provincial Bureau of Cultural Relics. This is my work permit. These two are experts in cultural relics in the province." An official in his 50s got out of the car, and he seemed to be the person in charge of a group of them. Ask Zhang Guodong.

"Hi, everyone! Please come this far, everyone! Hello, two experts! The things are here, please come in." Zhang Guodong saw that the two experts were not young, and one of them seemed to be over 70 years old. He nodded slightly, and did not speak too much. The two reporters, a man and a woman, were very beautiful. She was wearing a blue dress with two long braids. At first glance, she was from the city, and the man was dressed very well. It is exquisite.

Zhang Guodong took out all the things gently. The two experts took out a large canvas and slowly took out the things one by one and put them on the canvas. The old expert took out a magnifying glass to observe carefully.

"This should be something from the Western Han Dynasty. It has not been unearthed for a long time, and it is well preserved! This jade pendant should be a jade pendant specially awarded to generals by the emperor of the Western Han Dynasty. This is a gold armor, mostly for ornamental purposes. They are used and well preserved, and the gold threads are still there, national treasure... national treasure!" The old expert kept muttering after reading it.

He arranged all the gold armor pieces neatly on the canvas one by one, and according to the slight differences of the gold armor pieces, he put together a majestic golden armor in a short while. It seems that he is an expert with deep research in this field.

Hearing the evaluation of the old expert, everyone immediately became happy. The female reporter kept asking Zhang Guodong about the place and time of the excavation of the cultural relics. Everything about the visitor is finished together.

Everyone quietly waited for the expert's appraisal. The two experts seemed to be alone, just checking each cultural relic constantly, and took out a notebook to write something on it. Talking about the scene where villagers in Zhangjialing encountered cultural relics while digging stones yesterday.

At this time, yesterday's three-wheeled motorcycle came to Zhang Guodong's house again. Zhang Guodong didn't know the three people who came today, and the leader was a black and thin old man in his 50s.

"This is the village chief Zhang Guodong! Hello, I'm the head of the cultural relics department of our county. I'm really sorry about what happened yesterday. A few newly opened staff members don't know the procedures. I just drove here by myself when I wasn't there yesterday. Everyone has caused a bad influence, and I am here to apologize to everyone!" The newly appointed minister pushed the blame for yesterday's responsibility completely, and passed the two sentences as if yesterday's incident was just an accident.

"It's okay, the cultural relics were supposed to be handed over to the county, but the two people who came yesterday didn't have any work certificates, so they just took a bag and stuffed it in. How can we safely hand over things to that kind of person?" People, I am young, if I do something wrong, don’t blame the leader.” The two of them were polite for a long time, and they briefly mentioned what happened yesterday, and the two reporters also started to evade when they heard this, they didn’t come here today to move here .

With the arrival of the people from the Cultural Relics Department of the county, the car from the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau soon arrived. Experts identified that the four cultural relics are all very rare national treasures, especially the set of gold armour, which is finely crafted and all the gold pieces are indistinguishable. No, it's just that some of the gold wires have been broken due to being buried for too long. This is the most complete gold wire armor unearthed in China's records.

"Keep these things well first, let's go to the place where they were unearthed." The old expert wrapped all the cultural relics in canvas, put them in a big black bag and handed them to Zhang Guodong, asking to go to the ditch to have a look.

Zhang Guodong put the things in his room and told his father not to let anyone take them away. Zhang Chenglin called Uncle Qibo, Father Heizi, Uncle Jiu and others to guard the door of the room. This is the rhythm of vowing to protect the treasure !
A group of more than 20 people came to the south of Geda Mountain. Provincial and city experts cooperated to carefully examine the grave pit dug yesterday. A little tinsel.

Back at Zhang Guodong’s home, the head of the Provincial Bureau of Cultural Relics called Zhang Guodong aside and told him that the province would hold a national treasure handing-in ceremony in Zhangjialing Village. At that time, the leaders of the Provincial Bureau of Cultural Relics would come, and everyone left after speaking , the news that Zhangjialing dug up the national treasure spread throughout Ganjing Township in less than half a day. Many people from the eastern villages of Ganjing went to Zhangjialing to see the national treasure, but Zhang Guodong's room was always guarded by at least 4 people outside. I can take a peek outside the door, but just like this, there are still more and more doors for Zhangjialing's second team.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Dou Jinpeng rarely came to Zhang Guodong's house in person, and Zhang Guodong hurried out to greet him.

"You were right for not handing over the cultural relics to the county this time. The cultural relics are basically gone if you hand them over to them. You know that the cultural relics department in the county has only accumulated less than a hundred ordinary cultural relics over the years. Where have all the things gone? Is it?" Dou Jinpeng walked into Zhang Guodong's house and said.

"They secretly sold it to the south!"

"Not all, what they dare to sell are some less expensive cultural relics. They usually send cultural relics that can reach the national treasure level to some developed cities for cultural relic exchange. There are not many pieces that are sent to the exchange and finally come back. Many people here have benefited from it. I came here to tell you that the leader will arrive at 11 o'clock tomorrow, and the ceremony will start on time at 12 o'clock. At that time, the leader may ask about Zhangjialing. You should think about what to say , The matter of the County Department of Cultural Relics yesterday should not have happened, otherwise it will be bad for everyone. I am passing on the words of Ouyang Secretary of the County Party Committee to you, and he will come tomorrow."

This incident did not expect to alarm Secretary Ouyang. It seems that this incident has also had a great impact on the county, but as a small village head, it has nothing to do with him.

Zhang Guodong decided to hold this ceremony at the entrance of the brigade department. He called the captains of the other three brigades and discussed with everyone about the arrangement of the banner and the venue. The county will have a special person to arrange it in the morning. The most important thing is to clean up the sanitation. When the time comes, the environment for reporters to take pictures and videotapes should not be too bad.

"How about this! Tomorrow, the four teams will clean up the sanitation at the entrance of each house, and remove the dung pile before 10 o'clock. Whoever completes the task on time will be rewarded with 10 yuan in the village, and I will hand over all the money later. You, those of us who haven’t finished, need to organize people to help, and finally the money will be handed over to the helpers. There will definitely be bonuses in the province this time. I plan to get a “Villager Contribution Award” in the village at the end of the year. More than 100 yuan is specially rewarded to those who have made the most contributions to the village in a year. You will pass on the message to everyone later.”

Zhang Guodong's suggestion was supported by everyone. In the past, the team leader had the final say on all the money in the village. It was not wrong to say that the money belonged to the team leader. Of course, everyone would agree if Zhang Guodong was willing to share the money with everyone.

Sending Dou Jinpeng away, Zhang Guodong went to the second team to work in various households. The first team had already heard the news that someone had started pulling the manure pile to clean the streets. Of course, the second team would not accept it. The sound of the tractor kept ringing, and everyone had been working overnight Started pulling up the dung pile outside his house.

The whole team mobilized together, and everyone came to help when tractors or rack trucks arrived. This year, the wheat had been planted, and there were not many dung piles accumulated in front of each house. Before ten o'clock in the morning, all the dung piles were basically pulled out.

At night, Zhang Chenglin asked Zhang Guotao and Zhang Guodong to sleep together to guard the cultural relics. Uncle Qi Bo and other neighbors will not close their doors tonight. If there is an accident, everyone will support them at any time. Everyone puts their shotguns where they are convenient.

There was nothing to do all night, Zhang Guodong got up and washed just after dawn, and people from the county's cultural relics department had already arrived. This time, the county hired a van and pulled more than ten people to set up the venue. Four hostesses came.

The villagers in Zhangjialing also got up early to clean the streets outside the gate. Zhang Guodong saw the village so clean for the first time. All the villagers heard that there would be a big leader from the province, and there would be a press conference to take pictures and videos. Everyone cleaned up vigorously. The sanitation at the door of my house, even the toilets at the door are cleaned.

After breakfast, Zhang Guodong waited at the brigade headquarters with the other three captains in the village. They had cleaned the sanitation here more than a dozen times, and the tables and chairs were wiped so that the paint was almost peeling off. They waited until almost 11 o'clock. A police car slowly drove into the entrance of Zhangjialing Village.

The staff of the County Department of Cultural Relics pulled out several large circles of firecrackers, and the hostesses also put on their clothes and went to the stage temporarily set up by the brigade. When a black Santana car drove into the entrance of Zhangjialing Village, the sound of firecrackers suddenly sounded. Following the three captains, they followed the Minister of Cultural Relics to the front of the car.

"Director Jiang!"

When the Minister of the County Department of Culture saw the rightful owner this time, Jiang Wei, the deputy director of the Qin Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau, hurried forward to shake hands and said, looking at his rapidly changing appearance of a slave, Zhang Guodong admired him for a while, and he came this morning. It’s not a big deal When talking to Zhang Guodong, it may be because yesterday's incident is still brooding, but now he directly pulls Zhang Guodong's arm and introduces him to the leader.

"Director Jiang, this is the village chief of Zhangjialing Village. There is a young man who voluntarily handed in the national treasure cultural relics. Village Chief Zhang. This is Deputy Director Jiang of the Provincial Bureau of Cultural Relics. Please, Director Jiang!"

Jiang Wei just shook hands with Minister Zhu for a while, and walked directly in front of Zhang Guodong. He looked at Zhang Guodong kindly, shook hands with him and said: "Cun Zhang! Thank you for the basic village cadres like you. Ah! For so many years, the country has been strictly controlling the trafficking of cultural relics, and you have set a good example for everyone."

Although the country has policies, the cultural relics dug out from the people are basically flowed abroad through the underground market, and the cultural relics collected by the government are less than [-]%. Even though the local government has increased the amount of rewards for handing in cultural relics in recent years, the effect is still dismal. .

After Director Jiang got off the car, a middle-aged man in his 40s got off the car behind him. He looked young and had a little white hair on his sideburns. He was Ouyang Jiqing, a senior official in Yongkang County. In the car, when he saw Secretary Ouyang get off the car, he directly moved out of the way. When Zhang Guodong saw this Secretary Ouyang, he couldn't help but think of his history.

Secretary Ouyang is a native of the south. He has stayed in Yongkang County for more than ten years. He advocates infrastructure construction to solve people's livelihood and food and clothing. In his hands, Yongkang County has developed steadily and there are not many outstanding places. However, after the 21st century, Yongkang County can develop in an all-round way. The tourism industry and the creation of tourist and cultural scenic spots are all inseparable from his infrastructure construction for so many years. He is one of the few officials in Yongkang County who has retired without being shuanggui.
