Chapter 1131: Dig It Out!
In fact, Director Kang also knows that the Chief Executive may have some opinions on the issue of the treasures of the Government House for a long time.
In the past, due to the influence of various reasons, although the successive governors of Hong Kong were more interested in this treasure and had also excavated some places, they did not make a big move, and they just regarded this issue as an after-dinner conversation for Hong Kong Islanders, and left it behind.
But what is the real reason for this, whether it is that it cannot be found, or whether it is worried that after finding it, it will be found to be an empty treasure or something, it is difficult to say.
After all, this matter is an incurable disease left by the British government of Hong Kong, out of the thoughts of their predecessors, in fact, the psychology of the successive Hong Kong governors who want to let the truth of this matter be revealed is not so strong, in case after digging out, there is nothing, then doesn't it mean that the British did not leave anything, just left a pretense, but brought the real treasure back to China?
If that's the case, some things are hard to explain.
Therefore, although everyone showed great concern about this matter, the matter was done in a hurry, and there was no follow-up.
After the return of Hong Kong Island, the situation is a little different.
Although the chief executive also had the idea to see if the treasure really existed, not long after the return, he encountered a financial turmoil, and then there was a continuous economic recession, a property market crash, a stock market downturn, etc., and after a long time, everyone did not have the heart to care about the treasure of the Government House.
At this time, it has been almost 20 years since Hong Kong Island returned to the motherland, and time has passed, and if something really happens, it will not have much impact on the people of Hong Kong Island, so there is still a certain amount of truth in the chief executive's decision.
The most important thing is that some Hong Kong Islanders still miss the British, thinking that the British governed Hong Kong Island in an orderly manner back then, but now it is not as good as before, so they really want the British to return to Hong Kong Island.
Although such an idea is a bit foolish, it cannot be denied that this idea does exist, but they have not seriously thought about it, whose problem is it that has caused this situation today?
It is obviously impossible to just cling to the mainlanders to suck blood, and even if the British come back, there is no way to solve the problem of Hong Kong Island's gradual decline, because this is a problem of the general trend of history, and it is not something that anyone can solve.
The Chief Executive also has a headache on this issue, and although he must severely crack down on relevant arguments, this kind of thing cannot be solved by just cracking down, and it is necessary to deeply expose and criticize the British people of those years from the ideological roots, so that the people of Hong Kong Island can know that the British are wolf ambitions and have not done much useful to Hong Kong Island, so that this erroneous ideological tendency can be completely resolved.
This time, Lin Xiao suddenly pointed out to him the matter of the hidden treasure of the Government Mansion, and it was just below the koi pond, and the chief executive moved his mind, especially when Lin Xiao pointed out that this treasure was actually an empty shell, the chief executive immediately made a decision.
Be sure to dig up this treasure for everyone to see.
If, in full view of everyone, everyone finds out that the British claimed to have left a hidden treasure, but the solution was an empty shell, this kind of crisis of confidence will immediately become loud.
If the government takes advantage of the situation and does some work, it may be possible that those people who are in the middle will be able to win over immediately, and those who oppose the position will probably waver in their attitudes.
In this way, the basis for the British to meddle in the affairs of Hong Kong Island will become weaker and weaker, and eventually gradually disappear.
Director Kang naturally couldn't imagine that the Chief Executive would be able to consider so many things in just a few minutes, and he only knew that since the Chief Executive had already decided, he would definitely have to cooperate to complete it.
Early the next morning, when it was still dark, Lin Qingya found some reliable subordinates and rushed over with large construction machinery.
Since it was decided to dig the koi pond, it was necessary to be a little sharper, otherwise, if people saw the situation here, I am afraid that the media would immediately hear about it.
When it comes to feng shui issues, there will definitely be a lot of opponents, but if they have already done more than half of the thing, then even if the other party finds out, there is nothing they can do to stop it.
Director Kang didn't sleep well, and when Lin Qingya and the others came, he immediately opened the door, and then drove the construction machinery to the koi pond.
The koi fish inside have long been fished out by the workers, put them in the bucket and put them in the bucket first, and the water in the pool has also been drained by the pump, revealing the silt inside or something.
Several large excavators immediately started work and started work in a race against time.
The project didn't last long, the main thing was that it was a bit more cumbersome to transport the dug up silt and earth, so after two hours, that is, before nine o'clock, things were almost done.
But at this time, the media on Hong Kong Island finally heard the news, and reporters from at least dozens of media outlets had gathered outside the Government House, clamoring to go in for interviews or something.
Naturally, it was impossible for the guards to let them in, which was necessary.
However, they waited for about half an hour and finally contacted Director Kang of the Chief Executive's Office.
Director Kang rushed over and looked very surprised, "Fellow journalists from the media, what are you going to do?" ”
"May I ask Director Kang, we heard that the Government House is digging a koi pond, is there such a thing?" A reporter scrambled to ask.
"Oh, there's such a thing." Director Kang did not deny it, nodded and admitted, "Yesterday, it was found that several koi fish were sick, and after analysis, it was found that a germ appeared in the silt in the koi pond, which caused the life of the koi to be threatened, so the chief executive considered that it was very important to maintain the feng shui pattern of the Government House, and specially asked the municipal department to solve this problem immediately." ”
"So may I ask Director Kang, how does the municipal department plan to solve this problem?" Another reporter asked.
"Well, this problem is more complicated, but for the sake of safety, experts recommend that it is better to replace the soil inside, otherwise, the germs cannot be completely removed." Director Kang nodded and replied, "In order not to affect the normal activities of the Government House, our work started in the middle of the night, and now it should be almost dealt with, just need to change the new soil and change the water again, this problem can be solved, and it will not have any impact on the normal activities of the Government House and the opening of the people." ”
"So, will this project have an impact on the feng shui of the Government House?" Someone else asked.
"Of course not." Director Kang insisted, "We didn't consider changing the original feng shui pattern, we just replaced the soil and water sources in it, and of course it won't have any impact on the feng shui pattern." ”
"Then may I ask Director Kang, will the original koi be in danger of life?" Another reporter asked.
These questions are more nonsense, one or two koi died, do they also need the chief executive's office to lower the flag at half-mast to mourn?
However, Director Kang's self-cultivation is still very good, he nodded and replied, "This reporter's friend has a very good question, our government has always been very concerned about environmental protection, animal protection, we have taken very effective measures for sick koi, targeted treatment for them, I believe that after a few days, this symptom can be eliminated, and let them return to live in the koi pond." ”
"May I ask Director Kang......"
Everyone continued to ask some strange questions, that is, Director Kang is experienced and calm, so he can handle things with ease, and he, the director of the Chief Executive's Office, is indeed very competent.
At this time, I heard a worker shouting inside, "Director Kang, come and see here, there is a situation!" ”
The voices of the workers were loud, and there seemed to be some agitation there, and the attention of the crowd immediately shifted.
"Fellow journalists, please wait a minute, I'll go see what's going on!" Director Kang nodded, and then he was about to leave in a hurry.
But the reporters quit and asked to go in to see what was going on.
Director Kang scratched his head a little about this, but he finally agreed, "It's okay to go in, the number of people must be limited, no more than twenty, and you need to maintain order, otherwise, the guards will help you maintain order." ”
The reporters just wanted to find out what was going on inside, so they were still able to agree to this request, so everyone argued for a while, and finally twenty reporters won, followed Director Kang into the protocol house, and went straight to the koi pond.
As soon as they passed, they saw that the koi pond had been dug into a large hole, and it seemed that someone had gone down and was rummaging for something.
"Director Kang, what are they looking for?" A reporter asked.
"I don't know, I'm not very good at municipal engineering." Director Kang spread his hands and said.
At this time, the person in charge of the municipal department said, "Director Kang, I think it is necessary to report to the chief executive now, we have found that there may be treasures left by the British here!" ”
"What?!"
"Oh my God, I've found a treasure of the British!"
"This is big news, and it has to get out right away!"
"Camera, camera!"
When the reporters heard this, they panicked, and rushed forward like chickens, just afraid that they would not fall into the pit several meters deep.
The people who walked in front saw that sure enough, there were workers inside who were covering the heavy-looking tin pokes with nets, and then hanging them on the hooks of the crane, ready to lift them to the ground.
Everyone stretched their necks, looking at everything that was happening in front of them, but they were all wondering in their hearts, was the thing dug up this time really a treasure that the British hastily buried before the Japanese occupation?
If this thing is really found, it will be a major event that the Government House and even the entire Hong Kong Island people will be shaken.
