Chapter 14: Strategizing

That night, Gu Biao spent the night in his sister's farmhouse.

After dawn the next day, he pedaled his bicycle down the hill and back to the city.

There are no street lights in the countryside, and it is too dangerous to ride a bicycle in the mountains at night.

And he stayed in the countryside for one night, which somewhat reduced the possibility of Wang Feng messing around - in fact, that night, Gu Biao found that someone was sneaking around outside the dormitory door, and it seemed that he didn't dare to act rashly because he found a man inside.

Many criminal acts are caused by impulse. The first day when I first heard the "bad news" was the easiest to hold. If you are suppressed by external forces at this time, calm down and think more, maybe you will be a little more restrained.

Before leaving, Gu Biao naturally told her sister to be careful.

Gu Min also said that he would drag Wang Feng back, and no longer revealed his intention to return to the city in the near future:

"Don't worry, it's been more than half a month, until the valley rain has passed, it's the busy farming season, I can't be diligent every day, pretend to be busy to death, just don't give him a chance to ask." Wang Pingshan didn't have time to support his son. ”

Gu Biao was right when he thought about it, the picking of Longjing tea was busy until around the Guyu solar term.

Moreover, the supply and marketing channels of tea are very fast, and the state-run tea farms basically have to hand over to the state as soon as they are harvested - if it is a few days late, when it is sent to local dignitaries and leaders of state-owned enterprises, there is no way to prove that this is "Ming Qian tea".

Since Wang Pingshan has the temper of deceiving his superiors and subordinates, he will definitely not delay the best time to make political achievements this year.

With my sister's IQ, it should be no problem to delay the conflict until May.

And he's going to take advantage of this time difference to make a good layout.

……

Gu Biao returned to the city, and the school naturally didn't catch up with the morning class, but after delaying the leave procedures with Teacher Yang, Teacher Yang didn't say much, obviously he had already herded sheep for Gu Biao.

After staying up until school in the afternoon, Gu Biao hurried home and chatted with his father about the changes that happened in the tea field.

When the father first heard that his daughter was taken by the son of the cardinal on the farm, and the daughter thought that the other party was uneducated, he was quite relieved.

"Hmph, Min Min will have to find a reader in the future. How can that kind of pest-in-law who is transported by sports be the son-in-law of my Gu family!"

However, when Gu Biao said that the Wang family might have plotted against him, his father's attitude immediately turned from disdain to anger:

"What? Is that place so dark? And there are people who are blackmailed with recommended indicators?!"

Although my dad has never read a book, he is a technician after all, and he is also a "science and engineering man", he is not engaged in management and communication, and he really doesn't know the situation in other places, so his surprise is real.

"I knew that I wouldn't let Min Min go the year before last - if you went, at least the man wouldn't be at a loss. Alas, I worked hard to send her to the tea field, and the picture is that it is full of educated youth, not to cut the queue to other people's homes, so it will not be too chaotic, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it......"

Daddy showed deep remorse and self-blame.

It was precisely after hearing this that Gu Biao understood his father's consideration of choosing a place in the first place: if it was for his daughter to eat and drink comfortably in the countryside, of course, it would be better to go to the fertile communes in the plains and paddy fields.

But the plains and paddy fields are all owned land, and going there means that each educated youth has to live in a farmer's house. The father obviously felt that public security was more important, so he would rather let the whole family post his sister's meat ticket upside down and go to the tea farm where the rations were relatively poor.

I didn't expect to get such a result in the end.

"Hey, what do you say about this? You've been thinking about it for a day, and I don't have an idea at once. For the sake of his daughter, the father didn't care about the shelf, so he asked his son very humbly.

After all, Gu Biao understands the situation better.

Gu Biao told him about his plans and the problems of the Wang family.

Dad listened and nodded frequently: "You're right." In this way, I asked Lao Qin for a favor - he originally said that if we complete the matter of supporting the helium machine for Project No. 1, I recommend you to study in college. Now that you judge that the college entrance examination will resume soon, and you plan to take it yourself, I also believe you.

Don't waste this indicator, I'll let Lao Qin post a document to recruit Minmin into the factory. Anyway, those over the age of 16 are all compliant formal work indicators, and we will call them by name and catch one off guard! As for the tape recorder used to collect evidence, I will also find a way to develop indicators. If you really can't get it, you can spend more money, you first find a way to inquire about the market. ”

Since his wife's death, he has not dared to touch the black market for three years. But now for the sake of her daughter, she can't take care of this.

After that, he took out the remaining more than 200 yuan from the bonus that Qin Hui gave him last time, as well as the few months' salary he had saved before.

Then he said that he could give Gu Biao a budget of 500, and if it was not enough, he would find a way.

Gu Biao thinks it must be enough: in the early 80s, black-and-white TVs were only in their early 1,000s, and color TVs had just entered the country and were only capped at 2,000 yuan. (In the case of TV tickets, black market prices are not enough.) )

Although supplies are more scarce now, all he wants is a tape recorder.

……

After the sister's incident, Gu Biao had no intention of reviewing.

The next day, when I started class, I started to look through the documents I had borrowed from the city library yesterday.

As for after school, he was going to ask Ma Feng about the black market.

One of the documents he borrowed was a local chronicle and the other was a compilation of the country's foreign trade policy today.

The reason why I want to borrow the book is because Gu Biao is suspicious of what her sister said that the original site of the tea field is the Song Liuling, and there are still relics that can be "removed from the old and welcome the new" until the 60s.

It's not that he's afraid that his sister will deceive him, but he thinks that it might be a lie.

Gu Biao was a science student in his previous life and did not study history, but he also loved to read the Emperor Han Dynasty novels that killed the Tartars. In a book called "The Great Song Dynasty", he vaguely remembered seeing a plot:

The Song Liuling in history was destroyed by the Mengyuan Tatar monk Yang Lian Zhenjia. said that Yang Lian Zhenjia broke the coffin and naked corpse and grabbed all the treasures accompanying the funeral.

But my sister said conclusively that the ruins of the Song Liuling Tombs were still there until the 60s, isn't this a contradiction.

Either my sister's oral biography is wrong, or Wu Lao Wolf has written it wrong.

Now, after checking the first-hand information of the city library, Gu Biao understands that the two are not contradictory:

When Mengyuan opened the country, it was only a few decades before Song Liuling. At that time, where did the ancients come from the consciousness of cultural relics? The purpose of Yang Lian Zhenjia's digging of the grave was to seize treasures, so he only took some funeral goods that were already very valuable at that time, such as gold, silver, jewelry, and celebrity calligraphy and paintings.

As for the utensils and building materials of the Xiangdian, these things were worthless 700 years ago, and the Tartars did not bother to deliberately and systematically destroy them completely.

Therefore, until the 60s, even after 700 years of wind and rain, and countless tomb robberies, it can still be confirmed that there are still the halls of Song Xiaozong and Guangzong, and there are still ground relics, but the surface part of the other four tombs is gone.

The remains of these last two halls of enjoyment were indeed completely reclaimed when the old was removed and the new was ushered in.

"Alas, it's a pity. Let's save as much as we can. Gu Biao sighed inwardly.

He was originally an engineering student, the kind who didn't even read tomb robbery novels, and had little interest in archaeology and collecting cultural relics. But since this kind of thing is encountered, there is no reason to ignore public and private.

He plans to spend some money to "destroy his family and relieve difficulties" to snatch it from other educated youths, and he can buy as much as he can. At least we can't watch Wang Pingshan sell everything to foreigners.

After reading the historical materials of local chronicles, Gu Biao flipped through the policy compilation for a while.

From the book, he learned more about the current regulations on the import and export of cultural relics:

Nowadays, there are two main legal channels for the export of antiquities to earn foreign exchange.

The first is that the export agencies of the state franchise take the initiative to export to foreign countries.

Although the management of this channel is relatively chaotic at present, after all, there are still some rules and regulations promulgated by the relevant departments in the fifties and sixties that can be used for reference, stipulating what can be sold and what cannot be sold. It's just that the indescribable period of ten years has been loosened by social realities. (It was fully regulated after July '79, but the protagonist didn't know it.) )

The second way is for foreigners or overseas Chinese to come to China for tourism and investigation, and then buy a small amount of collectibles and take them out when they leave the country.

The size of this kind of transaction is relatively small, but the management is completely blank, and almost everything is given up.

In the literature, Gu Biao found a central document resolution, which was submitted by the Administration of Cultural Relics, called "Measures for the Identification and Management of Foreigners, Overseas Chinese, Hong Kong and Macao Compatriots Carrying and Mailing Cultural Relics for Export".

Judging from the expression, this document seems to be able to solve the problem, but it has just been passed, and the instructions of the National WU Institute are to be officially implemented in October this year.

The law does not apply retroactively, which means that the document cannot catch up with Wang Pingshan's affairs.

Gu Biao also couldn't report him on any charges from the perspective of "reselling antiquities".

It can only start from hooliganism and speculation.

……

After flipping through these two thick literatures, it's basically time to get out of class.

As soon as the bell rang, the students dispersed. Gu Biao also put away the book, and then beckoned Ma Feng to go with him to do something.

Ma Feng seems to be very busy in the past week, and he doesn't take the initiative to find Gu Biao to "help".

When Gu Biao pulled him out, he casually asked him, "What have you been busy with lately? I won't delay you in making money." ”

Ma Feng's attitude was still very respectful: "Brother Gu, you are laughing, if you hadn't covered me and brought me to see the world, I would have been as good as I am now? ”

However, in the midst of respect, Ma Feng's smug expression could not be concealed.

So he naturally talked about his recent successes:

"To tell you the truth, I recently thought of a way to make money from stilt classes - taking a bus or train to Hujiang to resell meat without meat tickets, which is too dangerous, after all, you need a letter of introduction to buy a ticket.

But you don't need a letter of introduction by boat, it's cheaper. I can spend 1 yuan on a round-trip boat fare, and after I get to Gusu, I can ride a bicycle back and forth to the Hujiang River, and then steal some meat, and sell it on our black market for four cents a pound. I haven't seen anyone think of this path yet. ”

When Gu Biao heard this, his perseverance to Ma Feng was quite refreshed: "Even if you only ride Gusu to Hujiang, you have to ride a 120-kilometer bicycle for a round trip! Can you bear this kind of hard-earned money?"

Ma Feng smiled proudly: "What's wrong with 120 kilometers? It's almost as hard as walking 30 kilometers." Besides, riding a bicycle will not be inspected by the road police, and you will not be found even if you bring 50 pounds at a time! That is a net profit of 20 yuan!"

If you can earn half a month's salary for an ordinary worker by riding a 120-kilometer bicycle, you won't feel so tired.

And Ma Feng's next sentence further subverted Gu Wei's cognition.

"Besides, I quickly came up with a new way – I only made two trips to find the black market in Gusu, and then found that the price of black market meat there was indeed more expensive than in Hujiang, but much cheaper than in Qiantang.

Qiantang 1 block 2, there 9 mao 5, Hujiang is 8 mao. The reason why it is cheap is obviously that Gusu is close to Hujiang, so some citizens rushed 60 kilometers to secretly go to Hujiang to buy unlimited quantities, which lowered the price of meat in Gusu.

So I found a big black market in Gusu, and directly negotiated to pull 50 catties from him each time and let him deliver the goods to Wujiang Wharf. Although I earn less per unit price, I don't have to ride a bicycle that far, and the round trip is fast. At most, stuff the boat boss with a pack of cigarettes, let him leave my luggage overweight, and then give two gags to each of the crab farmers on the boat......"

Gu Biao was a little impatient when he heard this, and hurriedly asked the other party to make a long story short: "Okay, let's blow it later." Knowing that you can, let's go to the black market today and help me Taotao watch the tape recorder. ”
