Before noon. (Literature Museum)

County Party Secretary Temporary office.

Dong Xuebin put down the newspaper and walked briskly around the house with his hands behind his back, one lap, two laps, three laps, and finally picked up the phone on the table.

"Hello, Xiao Su."

"Secretary Dong."  The Power of Time and Wealth 1965

"Come to me immediately."

"Uh, okay, I'll be there right away."

The phone hung up. Dong Xuebin forced himself to calm down. After taking a deep breath, he forgot to sit on the chair. He covered his forehead and rubbed it. He closed his eyes and his mind began to race. Dong Xuebin did not expect the cultural relics to be unearthed in advance. There was no plan or preparation for this in a short period of time. It really caught him off guard, but these were not problems, because Dong Xuebin has already planned the future development a few months ago, and he is quite confident. Even if he has not prepared in advance, it is not too late to prepare now. The ancient tomb has been unearthed in advance, which is a good thing. Now Dong Xuebin's position has been consolidated, and Jiaolin County's conditions in all aspects are basically mature. As the saying goes, everything is ready and only the east wind is needed. It is just waiting for this final step. Come early, come early.

The door opened.

Su Yan trotted in, panting, "Secretary, are you looking for me?" Hearing Secretary Dong's voice on the phone was wrong, Su Yan knew that something big was going on, so he ran a little faster. After working for so long, Dong Xuebin's secret notes were better understood.

Dong Xuebin pushed the newspaper on the table forward, "Qingluan Mountain There is a story about villagers digging up antiques, do you know?"

Su Yan was startled, then stepped forward and glanced at the third page of the newspaper, "Oh, I know this, it happened yesterday. I also heard someone below talk about traveling through Linghu Chong."

Dong Xuebin knocked on the table and said, "It all happened yesterday, so why don't you report it to me?"

Huh?

report?

Is this still necessary to report?

Su Yan said hurriedly, "I thought it was nothing serious. You came back to Capital City to do something urgent, so I didn't dare to disturb you. I'm sorry Secretary Dong. It was all my fault and negligence." In fact, Su Yan didn't understand at all why Secretary Dong suddenly mentioned this news and found an antique? Are the antiques not confirmed? And even if the identification result is positive, it doesn't matter. There are so many antiques accidentally dug up and discovered every day across the country. What else is this? He didn't know why Secretary Dong attached so much importance to it, but thinking so, Su Yan still didn't refute anything. After explaining it in the simplest and quickest way, he took the initiative to admit his mistake. Because there is no point in arguing with the leader. The leader must have a reason to criticize you. Even if there is no reason, even if it is for no reason, Su Yan still has to listen.

Dong Xuebin was actually not angry, he just said a few words. He also knew that Su Yan was not to blame for this incident. Su Yan couldn't have known how much impact and significance the discovery of this antique would have on them Jiaolin County in the future. "It's not that emphatic. It's not your problem. I'm just telling you. If you have any information about this in the future, report it to me as soon as possible without delaying for a moment."

Su Yan said seriously, "I understand Secretary."

Dong Xuebin looked at the watch and said, "It's noon too. Let's eat first, and then you inform everyone that County Party Committee Standing Committee will be held on time at one o'clock in the afternoon. And..." Dong Xuebin paused, "County Bureau of Culture Call over Top Leader from, as well as the village secretary of the village below Qingluan Mountain, and ask them to attend the meeting. I want to hear a detailed report on this matter. You should say hello to them in advance."

Su Yan was stunned, "... Okay, I'll contact you."

Dong Xuebin nodded, "Okay, that's it."

"Then you're busy, I'm going to inform you." Su Yan turned around, respectfully closed the door for Secretary Dong, and then left.

Su Yan was actually very puzzled. All he had in his heart was suspicion. Why should Bureau of Culture Top Leader and the others be allowed to attend the meeting? Is this really that important? Su Yan initially felt that his political acumen might not be enough. After all, Secretary Dong has proven his ability to work with practical actions more than once. Everyone knows that he is a very "divine" leader, and every decision he makes is correct. For example, the demolition of New County Party Committee Compound, the policy had not yet come down at that time. The Discipline Inspection Commission didn't come either, there was no warning at all, but Secretary Dong smelled it in advance, and immediately ordered the demolition of New County Party Committee Compound, allowing them Jiaolin County to escape and almost not be implicated in the incident. No one would doubt or question Secretary Dong's sense of smell. But after walking for a long time after Dong Secretary Office came out, and thinking for a long time, Su Yan still couldn't figure out what was so special about this matter.  The Power of Time and Wealth 1965

Noon.

Dong Xuebin went out to get Boxed Lunch and then came back to eat. While eating, he was planning, and his mind was not on the meal at all. In the end, he finished everything. Dong Xuebin was subconsciously picking up the food in his mouth with chopsticks. After noticing that the lunch box was empty, Dong Xuebin laughed and threw away the disposable lunch box.

One o'clock.

The second County Party Committee Standing Committee was held this month.

Dong Xuebin was the last Conference Room to enter. As soon as he came, the room became quieter. Dong Xuebin noticed that there were a few more new faces in this temporary Conference Room than before. One of them was Dong Xuebin knows that it is Director of the Bureau of Culture Wu Guoquan from the county. There are two other people Dong Xuebin has never seen before. A young man, who is probably the village secretary of Qingbei Village, and a middle-aged man who has never seen him before.

Su Yan Close the door immediately.

Dong Xuebin was also sitting in the first place at this time. He did not rush to announce the start of the meeting, but picked up the cup on the table and took a few sips of tea slowly. If it had been in the first few days after taking office, Dong Xuebin would definitely not have been able to do this. He usually announced the start of the meeting after sitting down. However, after such a long period of consolidation and struggle, Dong Xuebin has taken most of the advantages in Jiaolin County and basically controlled the situation in the county.

This subtle move also allowed Wu Guoquan, who was attending Standing Committee for the first time today, and the other two people to see who Jiaolin County has the final say now.

After a while.

Dong Xuebin then slowly said, "Let's have a meeting."

Several County Party Committee Standing Committee Member reported on the work of the county in order. There was nothing worthy of voting or discussion today. They were basically reports and summaries. The focus was also on the results of Investment Promotion Culture Festival's work last month. An hour had passed. The report is over and the summary is over. No one said anything, and they all waited for Secretary Dong to say something. After all, the people attending the meeting today were a little surprised. Although Dong Xuebin did not inform everyone in advance, but looking at this situation, a fool knew that Secretary Dong had something important to do.

Seeing that everyone had finished speaking, Dong Xuebin raised his head and said, "Let me tell you one thing."

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Dong Xuebin and waited for him to say.

Dong Xuebin waved, and Su Yan took out a dozen newspapers and distributed them to many County Party Committee Standing Committee Member, and then heard Dong Xuebin say, "This is today's morning newspaper. The incident happened yesterday. I believe many people must have heard that antiques were dug up by villagers on Qingluan Mountain."

Zhang Dongfang looked at the newspaper and said, "The news was also broadcast this morning. I've seen it."

Many other people have the same impression, but they don't understand what Secretary Dong means. Found an antique? So what?

Dong Xuebin ignored everyone's doubts and looked at the county Director of the Bureau of Culture Wu Guoquan, "Director Wu, can you tell me the specific situation?"

Wu Guoquan hurriedly straightened his body and sat upright, "Yes Secretary Dong, we also got the antique last night. It was sent to us by Comrade Qingbei Village Secretary Xiao Cheng." He glanced at the side. The young man next to him was obviously the college student village official Xiao Cheng in the newspaper. Then he introduced the middle-aged man next to him, "This is County Cultural Center Director Liu. Now the antique has been taken over by the cultural center."

Dong Xuebin asked, "Is it dated?"

Director Liu replied, "Because it was too late yesterday and everyone got off work, so our staff are working hard on the identification work that just started this morning."

Dong Xuebin frowned and said, "That means the age hasn't been determined yet?"

"The authenticity and age have not been determined yet." Director Liu said, "Our equipment is limited, and our professionalism is also limited, so it will take some time." Jiaolin County The reason why County-level City failed to apply for County-level City is largely cultural. Their county does not have any unique culture of its own., the historical "ness" is also worse, and there are no historical sites and cultural heritage that can be used, so Jiaolin County Cultural Relics Department's equipment or professionals are definitely not as good as other places. Without the demand in this area, naturally there is no need to purchase any good equipment. Otherwise, what is the use of purchasing equipment and bringing in talents in the field of cultural relics? As a decoration? That's a waste of resources, and it's not necessary.  The Power of Time and Wealth 1965

Seeing that Secretary Dong's expression was not so good, Director of the Bureau of Culture Wu Guoquan quickly added, "Secretary, in fact, the authenticity has almost been determined. It has been corroded like that and buried in a mountain that no one knows. Logically, there is no possibility of forgery. Bronze Mirror should be genuine. In terms of age... well, some staff at the cultural center initially suspected that it was something from the Han Dynasty."

Director Liu wears a goggle, and he looks like an old scholar. He is very particular about what he says and does, and he is also very sincere. Hearing the words, he said, "It's not confirmed yet, it's just a suspicion. Further identification work is still being done."

Zhang Dongfang said, "Han Dynasty?"

Executive Deputy County Chief Xu Zhuang said, "It will be quite a few years. If it is confirmed, it can be exhibited in the cultural center by then."

Everyone said that, but everyone still didn't take it seriously at all. They still didn't take it seriously. They felt that Secretary Dong was making a bit of a fuss.
