Just as Liu Fusheng said, Hao Changfa was like a shot of chicken blood. He worked harder and harder than usual. He personally went to the poorest areas to select sites for new school buildings, and did the work of parents of children, persuading them to let them go. Children go to school.
In addition, he stayed up several nights to write down his opinions and directions for the introduction of teaching talents and submitted them to Liu Fusheng for review.
With Liu Fusheng taking the lead and Hao Changfa working hard, the education work in Xiushan County began with great vigor!
At the same time, Liu Fusheng had other things to do.
After the education work was shared by Hao Changfa, Liu Fusheng began to focus on the investigation and survey of the jade mine in Xiushan County.
Although he had known the approximate location of the "Jade King" for a long time, he was not in a hurry to discover and excavate it. Instead, he tried his best to gain an in-depth understanding of the overall jade resources in Xiushan County.
Knowing the cards in your hand is the basis for victory. Otherwise, just having a "Jade King" can only add gimmicks to Xiushan County. If you want to attract the golden phoenix and turn it into a sycamore tree, you have to lay out the entire industry. Just a chain.
After careful investigation, he also discovered that the jade reserves in Xiushan County were astonishing. If fully exploited, the annual output would be much greater than the current 60% share of the country!
For the same reason, the price of Xiushan jade is declining year by year. In the domestic market, the recognition of Xiushan jade is getting lower and lower, and most of the products have been included in the category of cheap jade.
The biggest problem constraining the jade industry in Xiushan County is the quantity but not the price.
In response to this issue, Liu Fusheng convened several meetings with the deputy county magistrate in charge of mining and the leadership team of the Mining Bureau.
Liu Fusheng said: "Judging from the current situation, the output of Xiushan jade is increasing year by year, but the economic benefits are decreasing year by year. This is definitely not a good thing. No matter how much ore there is, there is a limit. Even if you can dig another one, A hundred years, then after a hundred years, all that will be left in this land will be absolute poverty, hollowed-out mines, and mine holes like ant nests!"
Lu Guanyu, the deputy county magistrate in charge of mining, said: "We have also discussed the issue of Deputy Magistrate Liu... The current national environment is like this. Some people are hyping up the sky-high price of Hetian jade and hyping up Kunlun jade. But when it comes to our Xiushan jade, it is Only the words low-end and cheap are left! We have wanted to change, but we don’t have the ability!”
Liu Fusheng said with a smile: "The abilities Deputy County Magistrate Lu mentioned should be from the perspective of propaganda, right? Xiushan County is located in the north. In ancient times, it was an uninhabited and cold place outside the Great Wall. Literati and poets rarely set foot there. There are few poems, songs, and biographical articles about Xiushan jade. This is not the case with Hetian jade, Kunlun jade, and other jade stones! What they eat is the dividends of culture and inheritance, as well as modern business speculation! Businessmen, or capital, So I like to hype them, mostly because of two aspects..."
He paused and continued: "On the one hand, the cost of speculation is low, and the jade from those origins has a huge reputation, and is mentioned in various novels and even textbooks. On the other hand, the rarity of things is the most valuable. Their output is very small. Since ancient times, Chinese people have a common idea that the less something is, the more valuable it is!"
Everyone in the meeting nodded. Liu Fusheng's analysis was spot on.
Perhaps in terms of modern jade grades and appraisal standards, most Xiushan jade is low-end.
But those so-called specifications are all formulated based on those famous jade stones. In the final analysis, all jade has only decorative value and has no industrial or technological value. It is just a stone.
"We have held many meetings before, and now I would like to make two suggestions for everyone to discuss these two aspects," Liu Fusheng said.
The conference room became quiet, everyone was waiting for Liu Fusheng's solution.
Liu Fusheng said: "First of all, in terms of cultural heritage and commercial hype, this cannot be accomplished overnight. Cultural heritage requires accumulation and time to create. I suggest that we work together with the County Writers Association, the County Museum and other units to create a Get up and think of countermeasures, and ask their superior departments, that is, the relevant units in Liaonan City, to cooperate!"
At this point, Liu Fusheng pondered for a moment and continued: "I remember that there has always been a legend in the market that southern Liaoning is the hometown of Cao Xueqin. We can also make an article from this aspect! In the Dream of Red Mansions, one is Langyuan Immortal Pa , one is a beautiful jade without flaws, so why can’t this beautiful jade be our Xiushan Jade?”
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of many people present lit up and they nodded. This entry point is so sharp! There may not be many people who study, but there are too few who don’t know Dream of Red Mansions!
Liu Fusheng continued: "In addition, the last feudal dynasty in our country rose outside Shanhaiguan. Most of the jade they used came from outside Shanhaiguan, which is our Xiushan! If necessary, we can cooperate with the Palace Museum Get in touch and provide evidence of these situations! For example, the Qing Emperor’s jade seal, jade ornaments from the harem, etc.!”
Hearing these words, Lu Guanyu was the first to applaud: "County Magistrate Liu is right! History needs to be discovered, and the history of our Xiushan jade needs to be discovered by us Xiushan people! Before, we have always focused on the output of the mine and the quality, but ignores the cultural and historical aspects! I support this suggestion with both hands!”
Applause erupted immediately, and everyone was impressed by Liu Fusheng's keen thinking and insight.
Liu Fusheng smiled and continued: "Then this matter will be a burden to County Magistrate Lu for the time being! Next, I will talk about the second suggestion, which is to reduce the production of jade mines."
brush!
These words suddenly changed the atmosphere of the scene!
Everyone stopped smiling and looked at Liu Fusheng in surprise or confusion.
Lu Guanyu coughed lightly and said, "County Chief Liu! Should this matter... be considered carefully?"
Many people nodded in agreement...
"County Magistrate, although the problems you mentioned exist, reducing production is not easy! It involves too many aspects!"
"Yes! There are so many mines, large and small, in the county, all of which have mining rights and certificates issued by the government. Their mining rights are protected by law. Legally speaking, we cannot impose mandatory requirements on them."
"And with so many mines, who is allowed to reduce production, who is not allowed to reduce production, and how much is the share of production reduction? Will someone mine secretly and take risks? This also adds huge pressure to our supervision and inspection!"
…
There was chaos in the small conference room. Almost everyone could bring up a lot of difficulties and reasons, and they were all opposed to Liu Fusheng's suggestion.
Liu Fusheng had long expected this problem. After all, it affected the fundamental interests of all mine owners. It was also the vital interests of almost all the mining officials here. From top to bottom, who could guarantee that they would be in contact with those mines? Mine owners, don’t have any interests at all?
Similarly, Liu Fusheng doesn't want to cut the knife too fast, otherwise it will definitely cause a violent backlash!
Today, he just tentatively flashed the knife, but he met with such fierce resistance, it seemed that he needed to find a chicken to kill.
"Haha, so everyone disagrees with the reduction of jade mine production? It doesn't matter. I still reserve my opinion and will discuss it with Secretary Xu, and then we will continue the discussion."
As Liu Fusheng spoke, he looked around at the people around him. Which chicken was used to scare the monkeys? Which one should I choose?
