Chapter 413: Problems with Ancient Building Materials
Chapter 415 Problems with Ancient Building Materials
"What's going on with you today? How uncomfortable are you talking like that? Isn't this trying to instigate a relationship between the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law?" When he got home in the evening, Huang Xue specifically talked to Zhang Junping and pointed out his problems.
In fact, Zhang Junping also feels that he has been a bit outspoken recently.
Many words are spoken without considering other people's feelings.
"Honey, I don't know either! I don't know what's wrong these days. I always offend people with my words.
I offended Jin Yongshun a few days ago, and also offended the buddies in our dormitory." Zhang Junping said distressedly.
"You! I think your IQ is eating up your EQ!" Huang Xue poked Zhang Junping on the forehead with his finger.
"I know whether emotional intelligence has been eaten up by IQ, I just know that now I want to eat you up!" Zhang Junping grabbed Huang Xue's hand and pulled her down on the kang.
…
In the following days, Zhang Junping became busier and busier, traveling back and forth to three places every day.
Office, boutique workshop, Prince Gong's Mansion.
I spend less and less time in the office, and more and more time in the boutique workshop and Prince Gong's Mansion.
But I still feel like I don’t have enough time.
This made Zhang Junping couldn't help but sigh, where has the time gone?
Before I knew it, a month had passed.
The restoration and reconstruction work of Prince Gong's Mansion did not go very smoothly.
It's not that the relocation hinders the progress of the restoration.
Rather, repair materials.
In later generations, Prince Gong's Mansion was funded by the state and organized manpower and material resources to repair it. Naturally, Zhang Junping's energy could not match that of the state.
Therefore, there were many missing materials during the restoration process, which made Zhang Junping worried.
The key point is that Zhang Junping has relatively high standards and wants to keep things as they were before.
This also limits the use of new materials for many materials, so we have to find ways to replace old materials.
"Fourth Master, do you think we can go shopping in the ruins of the Old Summer Palace? Can we find the materials we need?"
"You can buy enough materials in the Old Summer Palace, but now it's different from the 1950s and 1960s. We can't just go shopping there." Zheng Laosi took a puff of his cigarette and shook his head with a smile.
"As long as I can get it, it will be fine. As for the qualifications, I will report to the city leaders." Zhang Junping gritted his teeth and decided.
"If you can get through the work of the leader, then this matter will be much easier. I promise to perfectly repair Prince Gong's Mansion for you." Zheng Laosi promised with a smile.
"Okay, just wait for my good news." Zhang Junping is also a straightforward person. After saying that, he went out and rode his bicycle to the city hall.
The secretary was surprised to hear Zhang Junping's request for an interview, but he still received him.
After all, Zhang Junping is considered a relatively famous young artist in China and a successful businessman.
"Secretary, I came here today to ask for help from the leader." Zhang Junping knew that the secretary was busy with work, so he did not beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose.
"Oh? What's the matter? You tell me first."
"It's about repairing Prince Gong's Mansion. When repairing Prince Gong's Mansion, we found some damaged areas that needed to be repaired or even rebuilt.
However, in line with the principle of restoring the old as before, the current renovation of Prince Gong’s Mansion lacks a lot of ancient building materials.”
"Haha, Master Xiao Zhang, since you came to me, you obviously have an idea. Let's talk about it! How do you want me to help you solve this problem." After listening to Zhang Junping's words, the secretary leaned on the sofa and relaxed.
asked with a smile.
"Master Zheng and I discussed it, and now only the ruins of the Old Summer Palace have enough ancient building materials.
I thought about applying to the leader to give us the qualification to clean up the ruins of the Old Summer Palace. We guarantee that as long as the ancient building materials and the precious antiques we clean up will be returned to the country." Zhang Junping quickly expressed his thoughts.
"Old Summer Palace?" the secretary sighed.
The Old Summer Palace is basically known to all Chinese people.
It is a pity that in 1860, it was burned down together with the Old Summer Palace by the British and French forces. The fire burned for three days and three nights. The thick smoke obscured the sun and the Old Summer Palace was completely destroyed.
Also burned were Qingyi Garden on Wanshou Mountain, Jingyi Garden on Xiangshan Mountain and Jingming Garden on Yuquan Mountain.
Qingyi Garden on Wanshou Mountain became the later Summer Palace.
During the period of charity, the Qingyi Garden was renovated and renamed the Summer Palace.
As a result, in 1900, it was burned again by the Eight-Power Allied Forces.
Since the Old Summer Palace was burned down again, it has become a market for building materials.
It is said that the Taihu Stone alone has driven thousands of cars away.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country also restored the Old Summer Palace and opened it to the outside world.
Unfortunately, the tragic fate of the Old Summer Palace did not end.
In the late 1960s and after the 1970s, the place was destroyed again.
The reason why Zhang Junping dared to propose cleaning up the ruins of the Old Summer Palace and using the building materials inside was because he knew that the country was already preparing to clean up and repair the Old Summer Palace and the Summer Palace.
And next year, that is, in 2083, the cleaning and repair work will be officially launched.
However, the cleaning and repairs this time were not thorough.
Due to lack of funds and various reasons, the cleanup lasted for a year before being stopped.
Even so, hundreds of thousands of antique cultural relics were still cleared out.
It can be seen that there are many treasures hidden in the Old Summer Palace.
In fact, in the past few decades, not only foreign capitalists have regarded the Old Summer Palace as a building materials market, but also Beijingers, like Zheng Laosi, have also regarded the Old Summer Palace as a building materials market.
When I was helping my master build a house, if he needed any materials, he would go directly to the Old Summer Palace to find out.
"This, I can't promise you directly, so let's do this!
I will discuss it with other comrades and give you an answer." After thinking for a while, the secretary said slowly.
Zhang Junping also understood the secretary's approach.
Going to the Old Summer Palace to clean up the ruins and use the building materials inside is not a big or small matter.
Leaders are naturally not willing to take risks, so they naturally hold a meeting to discuss it, so that any issues in the future can be considered a collective decision.
"Then I'm sorry to the boss. I'll wait for good news from the boss." Zhang Junping said goodbye politely and left.
If you agree or disagree, let’s leave it at that.
At worst, let Zheng Laosi find someone to clean up the ruins of the Old Summer Palace privately.
Anyway, in the past few decades, people’s behavior of searching for treasures in the ruins of the Old Summer Palace has never stopped.
It would be a little troublesome to find someone to go to the Old Summer Palace to dispose of the materials and then go shopping for them, and then spend money to buy the materials back.
For a moment, Zhang Junping regretted that instead of going to the secretary, it would be better to purchase building materials directly from the private sector.
Of course, this is just a thought. The materials he needs are not small and small. If they are collected from the private sector, it is easy to get into trouble.
Leave a clue to others.
Therefore, Zhang Junping would rather go through a little more trouble and go through the formal channels.
