In the meeting.
Everyone discussed for a while.
Dong Xuebing looked at Zhang Dongfang. "Mayor Dongfang, what do you think?"
Zhang Dongfang thought for a while. "Let's do the dating first. If our County's equipment cannot identify it, we will send it to the City's Cultural Relics Bureau. If it is really an antique from the Han Dynasty, we will excavate the area around Qingluan Hill to see if there are any other antiques." This is the normal procedure, but it will take a long time for Dong Xuebing to clear all the departments one by one. If anything happens, Dong Xuebing will surely not agree to it.
Dong Xuebing shook his head.
Meng Hanmei looked at Dong Xuebing. "Secretary, what do you mean?"
Dong Xuebing said. "I suggest setting up a Cultural Relics Protection team to seal off the area around Qingluan Hill. No one is allowed to enter or leave. Set up a cordon and take all necessary precautions. I will be in charge of this team."
Ah?
You will be in charge?
Setting up a Cultural Relics Protection team?
This is making a mountain out of a molehill.
Zhang Dongfang was stunned. "Secretary Xuebing, is there a need to do this?"
"There is a need." Dong Xuebing said: "It is necessary. If there is really a Han Dynasty Ancient Tomb on Qingluan Hill, these measures are to protect the ancient tomb and cultural relics. Now, this incident is on the news, and there is no way to hide it. If some grave robbers saw this, they might target Qingluan Hill. If we don't protect it, we will let them get what they want. What if the villagers know the antiques are valuable and start digging up the hill? Don't we need to take precautions? "
Ancient Tomb?
What do you mean by ancient tomb?
Everyone felt Dong Xuebing had changed the topic too fast.
They just found an antique that they didn't know if it was real or fake. How did it suddenly become related to an ancient tomb? Even if there is an ancient tomb, there is no need to pay so much attention to it. There are many ancient tombs, and anyone with some background in ancient times will have a tomb. How can this be considered an ancient tomb? How much value and historical significance can this tomb have? There are many ancient tombs in China now, but only a few of them are of historical significance. Jiaolin County is a small place. How many ancient tombs can there be?
"Huh? Secretary Dong." Curator Liu said.
Dong Xuebing looked at him. "Tell me."
Curator Liu explained, "Actually, it's not uncommon for antiques to be unearthed in the mountains or in the soil. There are only three possibilities. First, the area might have been a sacrificial site at that time. Due to the collapse, these relics were buried underground. Or, there was a war at that time and they couldn't retrieve these things in time, so they were buried underground. Secondly, it could be a cellar. The ancients also had the hobby of collecting things. They might have buried these things underground as treasures, and only discovered them today. Thirdly, there might be a tomb or burial pit in this area. Thirdly, it's also the least likely. A place like Qingluan Mountain is not a place with good Fengshui, and generally, there won't be … "
Dong Xuebing interrupted. "I don't care about the theory or the theory. If it's possible, we should protect it. This is to respect history and culture."
Director Liu said, "That's true, you're right."
Dong Xuebing looks at Zhang Dongfang. "Mayor Zhang?"
"… I have no objections," Zhang Dongfang said indifferently.
Dong Xuebing nodded. "Alright. That's settled. Set up a team to protect Qingluan Mountain and seal off the area." The proposal was passed, but it's not considered a proposal anymore. Now, Dong Xuebing has the final say in Jiaolin County. But Dong Xuebing saw no one taking this seriously, and he reminded them. "I still have one more thing to say. I hope everyone will pay attention to this matter. You all must know the importance of protecting cultural relics. If there are any problems during the protection of cultural relics, I will look for that person!"
Everyone's face turned serious.
Is Dong Xuebing serious this time?
But why? It's only an antique. Is there a need to do this?
The next moment, Dong Xuebing asked. "Director Liu, did you bring the things?"
"Yes." Director Liu stood up and carefully picked up a wooden box from the corner. He placed the relic on the table and opened the lid.
Dong Xuebing nodded and walked over to take out a pair of gloves from the box. He put on the gloves and picked up the bronze mirror that he dug out yesterday. He flipped the front of the mirror and looked at the back of it seriously. Zhang Dongfang and the rest thought Dong Xuebing was putting on an act. But they do not know that Dong Xuebing knows more about antiques than they thought. Dong Xuebing had started his career as an antique dealer a few years ago and had made lots of money. He had also worked in an antique shop during his university days to support his family. Although Dong Xuebing had been focusing on his political career these few years and did not touch antiques, he did not give up his old trade.
Even if Dong Xuebing had not read the newspapers from the future, he can tell this bronze mirror is real. It's from a long time ago, and the rust and corrosion are natural. It should not be made by humans. At least, with the current technology, it is impossible to make such rust.
When Dong Xuebing saw it with his own eyes, he was relieved. This must be the Han Dynasty Ancient Tomb that was mentioned in the future newspapers!
Dong Xuebing was too concerned about this and forgot there are other people around. He took out his phone and took pictures of the mirror from all directions and sides. Finally, he pinched the rust on the mirror and smelled it. After that, he nodded and placed the mirror back into the box. After that, he slowly removed his gloves. He is in a good mood, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Meeting adjourned. The protection team will be going down to Qing Luan Mountain today. Everyone, hurry up and prepare your men. The Cultural Bureau, Cultural Hall, Public Security, all must send people over as soon as possible!" Dong Xuebing emphasized again.
Wu Guoquan hurriedly responded.
Director Liu also did not say anything.
But when they saw Dong Xuebing's smile, everyone looked at each other in confusion. They could not understand what was wrong with Dong Xuebing today. Why did he keep acting like this?
When they saw the bronze mirror, their first reaction was that the County's Cultural Hall will have a few more antiques.
But Dong Xuebing was different from them. When he saw the bronze mirror, his first reaction was … … he will definitely be promoted to Deputy Bureau Chief!
