One month later.
The live broadcast of the excavation of the main tomb chamber has officially begun.
People from the TV station concentrated on Qingluan Mountain, doing a series of special reports, and simultaneously broadcasting the excavation and exploration of the main tomb chamber live.
During this period, Jiao Neighboring County was also very busy from top to bottom, especially the top leader Dong Xuebin. From the time he opened his eyes to the time he closed them, he had almost no time to spare. To put it bluntly, he was really busy. Just like my grandson. Arranging reporters, supporting live broadcast work, receiving leaders at all levels for inspections in batches, checking for deficiencies when they arise, supervising the excavation process of ancient tombs and reporting to the leaders at any time. Maybe it sounds like the workload is still manageable. The scope of what he can bear, but in fact, Dong Xuebin has more than this. This is just an extra job for him, and the daily affairs and basic work of their neighboring counties cannot be left behind. A job was just released this year. Dong Xuebin must implement the medical reform document, and there will also be slight adjustments to the education system next year, which involves many issues such as teacher salaries. The results have not been discussed yet. There are a lot of things waiting, not just ancient tombs. , it’s fine just for small things, the departments below can make decisions, but when it comes to any controversial and influential issues that are discussed in meetings in the county, which one does not require Dong Xuebin’s nod? He is a big patriarch and has to take care of everything.
Fortunately, this busy and overwhelming day did not last long.
Three days later, the identity of the main tomb chamber was discovered, which is the so-called identification.
It is confirmed that it is the tomb of an emperor in the Han Dynasty. The historical records are also clear and there are no problems with various researches.
The public is happy to hear about this discovery, and of course it is just for fun at most. However, for the archaeological community, the discovery of this tomb is joyful and exciting. Even in the archaeological community in recent years, it is definitely an important event.
The live broadcast was canceled and changed to recording.
The focus of the work below has also been changed from excavation to research. Many experts and scholars have come to the capital one after another, and it seems that they are stationed for a long time.
…
This morning.
The old county party committee compound.
Just a few days ago, the old courtyard has been renovated. Although it still looks a bit old on the surface and the several office buildings are still not that beautiful, the internal environment has been improved. Moreover, many of the hidden dangers of leaks and landslides have been repaired and eliminated, the canteen has been rebuilt, and the air conditioners and computers in all offices have been replaced, so it looks brand new.
〖Office of the Secretary.
As soon as Dong Xuebin came to work, he sat in the office and had breakfast. It’s really rare to have breakfast in the house today. Thinking about the past few days, Dong Xuebin either didn’t have time to eat or had to eat in the car or on the mountain. He was too busy. Now the live broadcast has been cancelled. Dong Xuebin This can be regarded as a temporary relief, the nerves have been tense these days. He really needs to take it easy.
Boom boom.
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Dong Xuebin said while eating.
The person who came in was Zhang Dongfang. "Hey, are you eating?"
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "You haven't eaten yet, have you, Lao Zhang? Come, let's have some together."
"Okay. You're welcome then." Zhang Dongfang sat down in front of Dong Xuebin's desk with his fat body, which made the chair creak. "The application documents for the county-level city have been submitted. What I want is. Let's Want to take a trip to the capital? "The documents were handed in the day before yesterday, which was the day when the identity of the ancient tomb was discovered. Their neighboring county submitted the application documents without any delay, and they had been waiting for this for a long time.
Dong Xuebin thought for a moment, "Going to the capital?"
Zhang Dongfang responded, "I'm not worried at all."
"It should be approved, I think it's no problem." Dong Xuebin said.
Zhang Dongfang said: "I don't think the problem is big, but it's hard to say. You also know that in the 1990s, our country suspended the approval of county-level cities for a long time, and it was only in these years that it was reopened. The state has concerns about this area. It is impossible to remove counties and cities without restrictions. From an overall perspective, there are costs for removing counties and cities, so the review is much stricter than before. I am afraid that it will not keep up this time. If the conditions above are not enough to hold us back, then all our efforts these days will be in vain. "
Dong Xuebin nodded, "That's right, it's safe."
Dong Xuebin originally proposed the county-level city proposal, but now, Zhang Dongfang is countless times more interested in it than Dong Xuebin. Dong Xuebin is also amused, but what Lao Zhang said does make sense. This matter really needs to be ensured to be foolproof. I don’t know how many times in the past things that Dong Xuebin expected to be able to win ended up with big changes. The reason was that Dong Xuebin was too easy to loosen up. He thought this was the case and thought there must be no problem, but in the end it just happened. There is a problem. Nothing is absolute, so there is no harm in sailing the ship for ten thousand years.
Zhang Dongfang said: "If you agree, then it's settled?"
"Yes." Dong Xuebin asked: "But who will go? The final approval is the State Council's decision. The department responsible for this is the department under the General Office of the State Council, right?"
Zhang Dongfang looked at him and said with a smile: "It would be best if you could go. You are a native of the capital and have worked there for a long time. You have a familiar face, so it will definitely be smoother."
"Me?" Dong Xuebin laughed and said: "I can't live without you. Come to Lao Zhang and look at this pile of documents." Pointing to the thick pile on the table, "What about teachers' salaries? Medical reform?" Things have to be sorted out these days, and the ancient tomb is inseparable from people. How do you think I can leave? "
Zhang Dongfang probably expected it and thought for a moment, "Then I'll go."
Dong Xuebin said: "You have a lot of things to do. Which level of classroom salary will be raised? This has not yet been decided. There will be a meeting to discuss it tomorrow. Well, if you are really worried, you can't let County Magistrate Xu go. He is Executive deputy county magistrate, it should be no problem to help the county act as a frontline."
Zhang Dongfang said: "Old Xu has to go, but he is not enough on his own." In Zhang Dongfang's view, nothing is as important as the withdrawal of counties and cities.
Dong Xuebin had no choice but to talk for a while. Seeing that Lao Zhang had made up his mind, he could only say: "Okay." He actually felt that there was no need for Zhang Dongfang to go in person, but Lao Zhang was worried about his life and death. Dong Xuebin had no choice but to go. "If you encounter any difficulties, just call me."
Zhang Dongfang said, "Then I'll pack up and leave today."
Before noon, Zhang Dongfang hurried to the capital, taking with him not only Xu Zhuang, the executive deputy county magistrate, but also a clerk from the county government office. Zhang Dongfang didn't say anything to the people below, and Dong Xuebin didn't mention what Zhang Dongfang was doing. He only said that Lao Zhang was on a business trip to the capital and would be back in a few days. But no one is a fool. Everyone knows clearly that County Magistrate Zhang went to the capital for activities.
As soon as Lao Zhang left, Dong Xuebin seemed busy again. He had to make decisions on many things. He had no time to worry about other things and was busy with the work at hand.
…
One day passed.
Two days passed.
Beijing, this afternoon.
The sun was shining brightly, making it a bit hot.
The Liaison Office of Baohong City in Beijing is located in the suburbs.
There is a two-story building in the front, where the office is located, and there is a two-story building in the back yard, which is a reception office and a dormitory for the staff. At this moment, in the dormitory, Zhang Dongfang, a clerk from Xuzhuang and the Jiao Neighboring County Government Office, was sitting in the room. There was no air conditioning, only a fan that creaked and blew not enough wind. Baohong City is not wealthy, and the liaison office is just a facade, so the conditions are naturally very poor.
Zhang Dongfang is so fat. The weather made him sweat all over his body. Coupled with his bad mood, the expression on his face became even worse.
"County Magistrate Zhang." The fourth person in the room spoke. She was a middle-aged woman in her forties, named Sun Lihan. She was the director of the Liaison Office of Baohong City in Beijing. She was also a cadre from Jiao Neighboring County. Later, he entered the city and was transferred to the Beijing Liaison Office, where he became an old acquaintance with Zhang Dongfang. "Based on my experience, Director Li from the general office must have disappeared. Since he pushed twice, that can explain the problem." , I guess there are a lot of things going on, and the cadres at the State Council are very busy. If you want me to see you, why don't you go back? "
Xu Zhuang said: "But things are still..."
Sun Lihan said helplessly: "That's how it is here. There's nothing we can do about it. Last time, someone from Yanbei County came to do something. They had to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. In the end, they didn't even get through the gate, and they all went back later." He also works with Jingcheng. For many years, Sun Lihan has long been accustomed to these things, and she has seen them more clearly than Zhang Dongfang and others. Let alone doing things, just wanting to meet the relevant person in charge is extremely difficult.
Xu Zhuang sighed, "Director Sun, can you help me contact you?"
Sun Lihan was quite concerned, "I also asked for you, but we have nothing to do with that place. People from the provincial office might be able to contact them, but I'm not familiar with the people from the provincial office, so I can't talk to them."
Zhang Dongfang and the others came excitedly. They had already obtained the phone number of the person in charge of reviewing the removal of county and city offices in Jiao Neighboring County through their connections. They thought they could get in touch to have a meal and have a good chat, but the call was put through. Who would have thought? They didn't even meet, they pushed it twice, and repeatedly said they didn't have time, which made Zhang Dongfang feel nervous. He was really not sure whether the other party was really too busy or simply not ready to approve their county's application. I have been in the capital for two days and spent two days here, but nothing has been accomplished. This makes Zhang Dongfang very distressed. It is either a matter of leaving or not.
The same goes for Xuzhuang. This is the first time he has come to the capital to do business. What he originally thought was very simple, but when he came he found that it was not the case at all. With the county, they had everything they could do, but when they arrived in the capital they could hardly move forward. Things are so difficult.
The place is full of officials.
The streets are full of government agencies.
But people don't take them seriously at all.
