What is the concept of a County City?
It was changed from a county to a city.
Although it could not be compared to the authority of a prefecture-level city, the top leaders of the Party and government and many of the departments under them would not be the same as before. All of them would be promoted at the meeting, and the status and authority of the whole county would also be raised to a higher level. This was something that the whole county would benefit from. Otherwise, Jiaolin County would not have spent so much money to build infrastructure in the early years. Wasn't it all to prepare for the county-level city? But at that time, Jiaolin County's application was not approved, and many people regretted it. Originally, Zhang Dongfang also thought that their Jiaolin County, which was considered one of the top agricultural counties in the province, would never be able to become a county-level city in this lifetime. After all, they had been defeated once, and there was almost no hope left. It was equivalent to giving their county a death sentence. All their previous construction and preparations had gone to waste. But Dong Xuebing's words reignited Zhang Dongfang's hope.
Re-apply to become a County City!
Dong Xuebing had said what Old Zhang was thinking!
It was reasonable to say that it was not so easy to apply for a county-level city. Jiaolin County was a large county with developed agriculture, a large population, a wide area, and a good economy. In particular, the Investment Promotion Cultural Festival that they had organized this time had brought an opportunity for long-term economic development to their county. Although the effect of the investment of one billion yuan was not obvious at the moment, it would definitely be reflected little by little in the future. Even so, for them, who had already been rejected for a county-level city, Jiaolin County was still far behind them. Economic growth? Agricultural production had increased? This is nothing, and it is meaningless to apply to become a County City. Everyone knows the approval process for a County City is very strict. A province does not allow one county to be promoted to a County City every few years, and there is no quota. For example, this year, all the counties in Jiaolin County were rejected, and only Jiaolin County is doing well. That's why they gave you the County City? Queuing up for a quota? Impossible! The higher-ups will only consider this County City if there is a qualitative leap in the overall economy. If not, they will not even look at the application documents.
What's the point of the economy improving?
What's the point of increasing agricultural production?
This wasn't just a qualitative change!
What's missing? Perhaps he was just short of that crucial step!
At first, Zhang Dongfang did not think about this. He did not have any hopes for the county level cities. But after hearing what Secretary Dong said, Zhang Dongfang suddenly had a feeling that the most crucial step had come!
An ancient tomb!
Han Dynasty tomb!
The ancient tomb of an emperor!
If this was really the case, Jiaolin County wouldn't be an agricultural county that everyone had long considered as the main focus. Instead, it would become a cultural county, or even a tourism county. Over time, it wouldn't be impossible for Jiaolin County to become an economic county!
This was an opportunity!
This was the most crucial step!
…
The atmosphere in the temporary office of the County Party Secretary was silent for a few seconds.
Dong Xuebing looked at Zhang Dongfang and met Zhang Dongfang's eyes. Both of them exchanged looks, and there is no need to say anything.
"Has the protection team set off?" Dong Xuebing asked.
Zhang Dongfang said, "They've already left. They just left a while ago."
Dong Xuebing could not sit still. "I will go to Qingluan Mountain to take a look."
Zhang Dongfang was also thinking of the same thing. "Let's go together." He paused for a while and continued. "Will there be enough people staying behind? I will transfer some people from the County Government. " Zhang Dongfang took out his phone and made a call. "Hello, Old Sun. Get me at least three people from your government office … … That's right. From today onwards, they don't need to report to the office every day. They also don't need to manage the work here … … Go to Qingluan Mountain … … That's right. Follow my instructions … … I know they don't know how to appraise relics.
Soon, another group of people gathered.
Dong Xuebing and Zhang Dongfang had boarded their vehicles. The rest of the County Government staff, who were brought over by Zhang Dongfang, also boarded their vehicles and set off towards Qingluan Mountain.
Everyone was puzzled. What was Mayor Zhang doing? Wasn't he calm and indifferent before this? During the Party Committee meeting, Mayor Zhang did not support or oppose Dong Xuebing's decision. But when Dong Xuebing rejected the name list of the protection team and doubled the number of people, Mayor Zhang was still unhappy. That's why he went to Dong Xuebing's office to speak to him. But why did Mayor Zhang's attitude change so quickly? He seems to be more enthusiastic than Dong Xuebing. Even the people from his own county government office were transferred out? Now, he still wants to go to Qingluan Mountain with Dong Xuebing?
What did the two leaders talk about in the office?
Isn't the contrast between Mayor Zhang's actions too big?
Why did Zhang Dongfang change so much? Mayor Zhang will not tell his subordinates. Only he and Dong Xuebing know about this.
… …
Afternoon.
5 pm.
After a long journey, they arrived at Qingluan Mountain.
Qingluan Mountain is not like the Qing 'e Mountain where the students were trapped in the heavy rain. At least, there are people who like to go hiking. But Qingluan Mountain is slightly worse. Although the scenery is similar, the roads here are not good. That's why everyone was surprised when they heard Dong Xuebing said to cordon off the area because of an antique. How can there be any antiques in this place? Even if there are antiques, it should not be cordoned off.
Dong Xuebing alighted.
Dong Xuebing looked up the mountain and saw the first group of protection team's vehicles parked at the foot of the mountain. "Are we going up the mountain now?"
"Secretary Dong, Mayor Zhang!"
Qingbei Village's Party Secretary ran over. He knew Dong Xuebing and Dong Xuebing were coming and went down the mountain to welcome them.
Zhang Dongfang looked at him. "Xiao Xiao, where are the people? Is the site secured? "
Xiao Cheng immediately replied. "They had gone up and cordoned off the area. Before I went down the mountain, they were setting up equipment and searchlights."
Zhang Dongfang said. "Let's go up and take a look."
Xiao Cheng smiled. "Mayor Zhang, it is not easy to walk up the mountain, and it is quite far. By the time we reach the top, it will be dark. All of you should not have eaten, right?"
"So far?" Zhang Dongfang looked at the mountain and asked Dong Xuebing. "Secretary Dong, what do you think?"
Dong Xuebing said. "Let's find a restaurant to eat first. After we eat, we will go up the mountain."
Xiao Cheng smiled bitterly again and said, "Secretary Dong, let alone a restaurant, there isn't even a restaurant here. Our Qingbei Village is small, and the development here isn't flourishing, so …" Then he said, "If the leaders don't mind, go to my house to eat. It's just over there in the village, not far."
Dong Xuebing does not mind. He was buried in the collapsed hospital after the earthquake, and he was still alive after not eating for a week. But the rest of the people, especially Zhang Dongfang, is too fat and old. How can they let him climb such a long mountain on an empty stomach? He might not even be able to go up the mountain. So, Dong Xuebing nodded and brought the rest to Qingbei Village for dinner.
It was a simple meal.
Xiao Cheng was the one who cooked it. Everyone was full of praises for the food.
But Xiao Cheng had become the Qing Bei Village's Village Secretary after a few years. This was rare because the villagers were very xenophobic. Even if the villagers did not grow up in the village, the villagers might not treat them as one of their own. But Xiao Cheng had done it. He was chosen by the villagers to be the Village Secretary and was trusted by the villagers to hand over such an important antique to Xiao Cheng unconditionally. This showed that this young man was very capable.
During the dinner.
"Xiao Xiao, how old are you?" Dong Xuebing asked.
Xiao Cheng quickly put down his chopsticks. "I am 27 this year."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Oh, we are the same age." Dong Xuebing was interested in Xiao Cheng and chatted with him for a while. Xiao Cheng's mannerisms and mannerisms left a good impression on Dong Xuebing. He felt this person can be groomed. Since Qing Luan Mountain is under their village's jurisdiction, Dong Xuebing will give Xiao Cheng some responsibilities. This is a big ancient tomb excavation project, and there must be someone trustworthy looking after it.
Xiao Cheng chatted.
Xiao Cheng could feel something and paused for a while. "Secretary, there is something I don't know if I should tell you." "Just say it.
What is it that you can't tell me? "Dong Xuebing asked.
Xiao Cheng explained, "It's like this. The situation on Qingluan Mountain is actually quite complicated. This mountain is not only the boundary of our Jiaolin County. Only half of it is ours. The other end is Qingnan Village, which belongs to the neighboring county. I've seen the location where the antiques were found on the mountain. It's on the side of the mountain. In my opinion, that side belongs to our county. At least, it should be close to our county, but after all, there's no clear division.
Dong Xuebing looked at him. "You are afraid that the neighboring County will cause trouble?"
Xiao Cheng nodded. "If they discover the ancient tomb, I am afraid they will try to snatch it from us."
Zhang Dongfang raised his head and said, "Little Xiao, that's a good reminder. We do need to be careful. We've had many dealings with the other County." He shook his head. Clearly, the relationship between the two Counties had never been pleasant.
Dong Xuebing knew what was going on and did not say anything.
Snatching the ancient tomb from him? What a joke! You all can try!
