Fang Zhicheng was helpless, secretly thinking that pregnant women should maintain a good mood, and perfunctorily said: "Okay, I will take a look at it when the time comes."

Recently, Fang Zhicheng would take time out every day to communicate with Shen Wei before going to bed. Although he could not be there, Qin Yuming would feel that Switzerland was guarding Shen Wei. Fang Zhicheng felt full of guilt for Qin Yuming, and at the same time, he was deeply moved by Qin Yuming's efforts.

Fang Zhicheng walked out of the master bedroom, preparing to go to the bathroom and then return to his room to rest, but he saw Park Hyun-a lying on the sofa, watching TV and actually fell asleep. The blanket that was originally covering her fell to the ground. Fang Zhicheng walked over and covered her with the blanket, then went to the bathroom.

After he finished relieving himself, he returned to the living room and saw that the blanket covering Park Hyun-ah had fallen to the ground. He frowned, walked over, and pushed her with his hand. Park Hyun-ah was not sleeping very deeply, and she woke up all of a sudden, and let out a scream, "Ah..."

Fang Zhicheng smiled bitterly and said, "Sister, it's a late spring cold now. If you want to sleep, you have to go back to the room, right?"

Park Hyun-a said "Oh" and slowly sat up. It took her a while to come back to her senses and walk towards the bedroom.

When Fang Zhicheng saw Park Hyun-A's cute look, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of humor, and thought to himself that this might be Park Hyun-A's charm. It seemed that her reactions were always a beat slower than normal people. When he found that there were obstacles in communicating with her, he could always find a bright spot in her.

If there was no such person by his side, Fang Zhicheng would really feel a little lonely.

The counties of third-tier cities are not small, with a population base of nearly 100,000, so some strange things happen almost every day. The next day at work, Fang Zhicheng received a piece of news that an ancient tomb was excavated during the Qiong-Han integration project.

Because of its good geographical location, Hanzhou was once the largest city in East China and one of the nine provinces. It has fertile land, rich resources and a developed economy. At that time, a large number of wealthy people and high-ranking officials built private residences here. With the changes of the times, Hanzhou's glory gradually faded.

Fang Zhicheng first called Xiang Xin and asked him to send additional police force to protect the scene. At the same time, he called Guo Jinyuan and Shang Yan to rush to the scene in person.

After arriving at the scene, they found it very chaotic. Some of the people around heard that an ancient tomb had been discovered and gathered around. Xiang Xin arrived earlier and was maintaining order. He walked towards Fang Zhicheng and sighed, "A tomb was discovered around 8 o'clock, and then people rushed over and scrambled for a while. When we arrived at the scene, there was a conflict. However, there is almost nothing left of what was excavated at the beginning."

Fang Zhicheng frowned and told Shang Yan, "Hurry up and call the Municipal Cultural Relics and Archaeology Institute to have them conduct protective excavations on site. At the same time, arrange for people to track down who was involved in the looting of cultural relics. All the cultural relics must be recovered."

Xiang Xin nodded, stretched out his hand to call someone over, whispered a few words to him, and Shang Yan also contacted the Municipal Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology.

Fang Zhicheng looked at a big pit on the scene, and his expression seemed very serious, but in fact he was very fortunate. Once a project has a story, it can be widely spread. During the process of promoting the Qiong-Han Integration Project, such a big story suddenly broke out. With just a little operation, it can form a good publicity effect, which can not only expand the influence of the Qiong-Han Integration Project, but also enhance the reputation of Hanzhou.

Half an hour later, Xia Lanshan heard about this. He called Fang Zhicheng and asked, "How is the scene? I heard there was a frenzy of looting. Did it cause any huge losses?"

Fang Zhicheng reported the current situation to Xia Lanshan truthfully: "Only a small part of the site has been excavated. The Municipal Cultural Relics Research Institute has just arranged a team of experts to enter the site. We have launched an investigation into the lost cultural relics and will strive to retrieve them all within two days."

Seeing Fang Zhicheng's clear thinking and proper handling, Xia Lanshan praised him and said, "You are very sensitive. We also found an ancient tomb from the Han Dynasty a few days ago, but we didn't pay much attention to it. When we realized the seriousness of it, we found that it had been completely damaged by human beings."

Fang Zhicheng said calmly: "Secretary Lanshan, please rest assured, I will follow up on this matter and protect the national assets."

By the afternoon, the Cultural Relics Bureau had reached a preliminary conclusion that, judging from the size, layout, and burial objects of the tomb, it should be a tomb from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and it is very likely a royal tomb.

At the same time, Xiang Xin used a combination of hard and soft methods to find most of the cultural relics in the shortest possible time. Tracking down cultural relics must be fast, because once they change hands, it will be difficult to recover them.

This day was spent at the excavation site of the ancient tomb. When night fell, Fang Zhicheng left after completing the security work on the site. The excavation of the ancient tomb was reported in the newspaper the next day. Huainan Daily spent a lot of space to report the news. The good news made Hanzhou instantly gain national attention.

Chapter 0645 The Railway Office’s Real Plan

The ancient tomb is an unexpected surprise in the process of promoting the integration of Qiong and Han. Originally, this area was planned as a scenic spot, but it lacked some characteristics. The original plan was to build a natural area fully open to the public with the concept of a green natural square. It would provide tourists with self-service picnics, kite flying, camping and other activities. Now the general direction remains unchanged, and building a scenic spot with the ancient tomb will undoubtedly increase the connotation and depth of the scenic spot.

After urgent research by the Institute of Cultural Relics, it was determined on the third day that this was the burial place of a royal figure of the Chen Dynasty. The Southern Chen was the last dynasty of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, with its capital in Qiongjin. Hanzhou is very close to Qiongjin, so the royal family of the Chen Dynasty is very likely to be buried in Hanzhou.

The Cultural Relics Research Institute finally confirmed that the tomb owner was Chen Shuling, the younger brother of the last emperor Chen Shubao. According to official history, Chen Shuling was brave and good at fighting. He was appointed as a governor at the age of 16 for his outstanding military achievements. At his peak, he was the governor of Hanzhou, second only to the emperor.

Interestingly, Chen Shuling was a tomb robber. Whenever he found an ancient tomb in Jiankang, the capital of the Chen State, he would take his troops to rob it. The Southern History records that Chen Shuling "liked to wander among tombs. When he came across a tomb with a known owner, he would order his men to dig it up, take out the stone tablets, ancient artifacts, and bones, and store them in the treasury."

Chen Shuling was eventually executed for rebellion, and his real tomb has always been a mystery, because he occupied many other people's tombs before his death, so his own tomb was also hidden extremely secretly. Several tombs were once excavated, but they were all fake tombs built by Chen Shuling during his lifetime. Now his tomb has been found in Xiaguang, and it is the real main tomb, which is indeed a major event in the archaeological community.

Just imagine how astonishing the burial objects would be in a tomb of a tomb robber.

The main tomb of Chen Shuling is located in a strange place under a farmer's septic tank. If the owner had continued to dig three feet deeper, he would have found something mysterious inside. But who would have thought that there was a thousand-year-old tomb under their own septic tank? Although Chen Shuling has been infamous for thousands of years, of course, there are pros and cons. For this reason, Chen Shuling's tomb is well preserved. It was only looted when it was first excavated, and the rest of the place was not affected.

Because of this major event in the archaeological world, Hanzhou held several meetings to study how to protect this ancient tomb and integrate it with the Qiong-Han urban integration project.

Mo Jin attended the meeting as a representative of the Xiaguang District Government and expressed the opinions of Xiaguang District. With the tomb of Chen Shuling as the core, the Millennium Chen King Tomb will be built, and tourist attractions will be developed at the same time. It is proposed to include it in the first-level scenic spot project of the Municipal Tourism Bureau.

The discussion at the meeting was very heated, mainly because Chen Shuling was a controversial figure. Everyone believed that such a controversial figure was not suitable for positive publicity. The value of the funerary objects in his tomb could be recognized, but it could not be recognized that this person had any publicity significance. After all, Chen Shuling's story did not conform to the main theme of the times.

After Mo Jin returned to the district, he took the initiative to find Fang Zhicheng, explained the conclusion of the discussion meeting, and said with a wry smile: "Secretary Fang, the city does not plan to transform Chen Shuling's tomb into a first-class tourist attraction. Most people want to take protective measures on the site first, and then make it a small-scale tourist attraction that is not open to the public. Their excuse is also very ridiculous. They think that Chen Shuling has a bad character. If it is built into a first-class tourist attraction, it will be difficult to attract citizens and will become a loss-making tourist attraction."

There are too many loss-making scenic spots in the country now. The income from regular ticket sales is not enough to cover the expenses of the scenic spots, and ultimately the government has to pay the bill.

Fang Zhicheng frowned and said, "The more controversial the person, the more attractive he is to tourists. Although Chen Shuling is not the ruler of a country, his actual achievements are so great that they shock the ruler. Coupled with his unique life experience, if he is well promoted, he will definitely be a highlight. Hanzhou has always emphasized the development of the city through culture. If such a good resource is not utilized, isn't it a waste of resources? The ancient tombs need to be protected, and funds must be invested. If we rely solely on government funds, it will be a drop in the bucket. It is better to be self-sufficient and open the tomb attractions to make this place self-sufficient, which is better than continuous financial subsidies."

Mo Jin paused and whispered, "There are rumors that a national treasure was found in Uncle Chen's tomb, so the province decided to keep this secret for the time being."

Fang Zhicheng frowned and sighed, "I've heard about this too. If the news of the appearance of the national treasure gets out, it will probably cause all kinds of chaos in society. Hasn't it happened before? A world-famous Han tomb appeared in southern Hunan, which resulted in tomb robbers pouring in and causing all the tombs to be robbed and emptied. The losses were immeasurable."

Mo Jin sighed and said, "You mean, the province is afraid of negative impact, so it handles Chen Shuling's tomb in a low-key manner, and the city does not plan to build Chen Shuling's tomb into a city-level tourist attraction because it was instructed by the province?"

Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "This possibility is still very high. I will communicate with Secretary Lanshan to see if there is any turning point."

After chatting with Mo Jin for a while, Fang Zhicheng personally sent him out. Mo Jin was not an ordinary guy. He had been confronting him from the beginning, but now he was keeping a low profile and showed him respect and support in various ways.

Fang Zhicheng would not relax his guard against Mo Jin for this reason. He knew that Mo Jin was a cunning person. He just suppressed him for a while after he took office, and promoted him after he was promoted, so Mo Jin temporarily disguised his true thoughts very well.

Fang Zhicheng had a phone call with Xia Lanshan. He was already familiar with him, so he spoke relatively directly. "Secretary Lanshan, I think you are biased about the tomb of Chen Shuling."

Xia Lanshan took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, and smiled, "Xiao Fang, I have also heard about the meeting. However, the issue of Chen Shuling is still worth discussing. First, the Northern and Southern Dynasties were short-lived in Chinese history. The Chen Dynasty lasted only a few decades. Most people don't know who their king is, let alone a prince. Second, Chen Shuling is a person of poor character. If we promote such a person, it is obviously not in line with the main theme of society. Third, the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau issued an order to block the news of Chen Shuling's tomb. The research results will not be released to the public until at least five years later. There are many things to do in the Qiong-Han Urban Integration Project, and we can't be distracted."

Fang Zhicheng could understand Xia Lanshan's meaning. It was not that Chen Shuling's tomb was not important enough, but that the province was ready to intervene in the tomb, and the city did not want to intervene, so it just wanted to throw the burden away and let the province take over. As for the seminar, it was just a formality to pave the way for the province to take over.
