Chapter 254: My Greatest Wish When I Was a Child


Yang Jing's words were not nonsense, but this decision was made after careful thinking during this period of time.

Since discovering the magic of the Holy Ring, Yang Jing really didn't know what to do for a while, and his previous life plan was all disrupted.

When making money is no longer difficult, when the things that need to be worked hard for in the past are at your fingertips, life seems to have suddenly become a little boring, which makes Yang Jing really confused for a while.

Later, when Yang Jing met Gege the day before the class reunion and the two got back together, Yang Jing found that he had a lot of things to do, instead of the previous state of idleness.

Later, when Liu Lao inadvertently proposed to open a private museum, Yang Jing found that he seemed to have another goal in life.

Whether it was going to the United States or traveling to the Cayman Islands in 1979, they were all striving for this goal.

Fortunately, the Holy Ring is still magical, and the most needed funds to open a museum have been solved in a short period of time.

Private museums are not open just as they want to, and the problem of venues alone is a big expense.

And after this trip around the United States, it has brought enough funds for Yang Jing.

Not to mention the huge amount of money he earned in the London gold market in 1980, those bitcoins alone were enough to support Yang Jing to complete his private museum project.

Of course, it is precisely because of so much funding that Yang Jing's original private museum plan has become more detailed.

Everyone has a deepest sense of intimacy with their hometown, just like their parents.

Some young people may not experience this kind of emotion, but some people who are older or have been looking forward to it from abroad may have such feelings.

Yang Jing had lived alone in London for two years, and he naturally experienced how terrible it was to be inseparable from his homeland, and of course he knew better how important his hometown was in his own heart.

Tianqu is just a small fourth-tier city, whether it is GDP or natural resources, it belongs to the kind of obscurity in the whole country.

What Old Man Yang said that day made Yang Jing think about it for a long time, yes, since he wants to build a large private museum, why not put the museum in his hometown?

A large museum is very attractive to tourists, look at the Palace Museum, look at the South Museum, and then look at the Libo and the Military Museum, how many tourists can be attracted every year!

And Yang Jing is very confident that with the Holy Ring, as long as he establishes a museum, his collection will definitely not be worse than those famous large state-owned museums!

This is not a big talk, not to mention anything else, just the batch of manuscripts and documents acquired from 1994 is enough to support a small museum, and in Yang Jing's plan, these manuscripts and documents acquired last time and the manuscripts and documents that Lao Xue continued to acquire in the nineties, once all of them are concentrated, it will definitely be a huge number, and at that time, the cultural center will be there!

It is not enough to have a cultural center, but also a jade museum, a porcelain museum, a calligraphy and painting museum, a miscellaneous museum, and an overseas museum planned by Yang Jing.

If such a large private museum were to be established, it would be very attractive to tourists.

Tianqu has a natural transportation advantage, so why not use this museum to make Tianqu more tourists?

Therefore, since he decided to establish his private museum in Tianqu City, Yang Jing has been considering the exact location of this museum during this time.

There are many places in Tianqu City that are suitable for building museums, such as the development zone and the newly added Lingcheng District, which is also the direction of the city's current development.

If Yang Jing wanted to put the location of the museum in that direction, the city would definitely welcome it with both hands held high, and even providing Yang Jing with a piece of land for free was not necessarily an impossible thing.

However, Yang Jing did not want to build his museum in the new city in the east, Yang Jing wanted to put this museum in Hexi, where he grew up.

The most famous scenic spot in Tianqu is the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and it is no exaggeration to say that Tianqu can develop into what it is today, and can become one of the 332 prefecture-level administrative divisions in the country, which is inseparable from the Grand Canal that has flowed for thousands of years.

You must know that before the Ming Dynasty, the administrative center of Tianqu was not here, but in Jiangling County in the east, but it was because of Zhu Di's "Son of Heaven guarding the country" that he moved the capital to Yanjing, and Tianqu, relying on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, gradually became one of the 32 commercial cities in the country in the Ming Dynasty.

You must know that before the Ming Dynasty, Tianqu was only a military place with a population of less than 2,000, even before Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty, Tianqu was also a garrison important place, and the famous 12 company battalions of Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty were in Tianqu.

Later, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was dredged, and Tianqu became an important transportation hub, and Tianqu gradually developed, eventually becoming one of the 32 most important commercial cities in the country.

However, in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, the canal fell into disrepair for a long time, and the Yellow River carried a large amount of sediment through the canal several times, and the Grand Canal became increasingly silted up and began to lose its strong transportation capacity, and Tianqu also began to flourish and decline.

In particular, the popularization of the shipping of grain has accelerated this process.

In fact, the shipping of grain began in the Yuan Dynasty and was stagnant because of the implementation of the maritime ban policy in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

It was not until the sixth year of Daoguang that the Qing government tried shipping for the first time.

Especially in the fifth year of Xianfeng (1855), the Yellow River was diverted to the north at the Tongwaxiang breach, the canal was interrupted, and shipping became more frequent.

This was a painful period, and Tianqu fell into the sad situation of "the opening of the commercial port and the change of the Beijing Road, the cessation of transportation and the inability to dock in the south, and the great reduction of water and land commerce".

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the development and prosperity of Tianqu's economy mainly relied on canal transportation, and although the growth of local commerce played a role in fueling the flames, there was no substantial major breakthrough in the level of productivity development.

In the twenty-eighth year of Guangxu (1902), the whole line of Caoyun stopped, and the past style of Tianqu was not there.

Tianqu, which had flourished for hundreds of years because of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, eventually declined because the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal stopped transporting the entire line.

For the people of Tianqu, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is not only a kind of pride, but also a kind of pain?

Especially in the nineties of the last century, with the rapid development of industry, the original crystal clear Grand Canal eventually became a stinky ditch, the most serious time, because the upstream paper mills frantically discharged sewage into the Grand Canal, resulting in the Grand Canal all year round emitted a pungent smell, not to mention fish, even flies, mosquitoes and mice are reluctant to approach the Grand Canal.

The Grand Canal has become a complete dead river!

When Yang Jing was a child, whether it was his mother or uncle, he told him stories about the Grand Canal more than once.

Among them, Yang Jing likes to listen to the story told by his uncle the most and remembers it most clearly.

According to my uncle, when my uncle was a child, the water of the Grand Canal was very clear, and the water in it could be drunk directly, and the first waterworks in Tianqu was built next to the Grand Canal.

At that time, the Grand Canal was a natural amusement park for children in summer, and every summer vacation, a group of half-sized children from the National Cotton Factory would soak in the river all day long, swimming, catching fish, digging river mussels, and netting river shrimp, and they could play for a day.

Of course, if you are scratched on your arm by your parents with your fingernails after you go home, as long as you find a white mark, then come on, it will be a stinky beating like a ghost crying wolf.

But even if the buttocks were swollen on the first day, the bald boys would continue to gather on the riverbank the next day, either going down the river or fighting dirt When my uncle was young, he was beaten by his grandparents a lot, and he even hung his uncle up and beat him when he was the worst, but even so, the Grand Canal is still a childhood memory that my uncle can never forget.

When Yang Jing was young, he didn't play next to the Grand Canal, but at that time, the Grand Canal had become a stinky ditch, and the scene of fishing boats and ospreys drilling waves in his uncle's mouth was no longer seen.

Ten years after the new century, the Tianqu Municipal Government began to realize the problem of protecting the Grand Canal, not only dredged this section of the canal in the urban area, but also spent money to build a road along the canal embankment, and even built an ancient building in the place where the old uncle and their frolicking - the Grand Canal Ancient Street.

Although it is not really an ancient street, it is enough to prove that the city government cares about the Grand Canal.

However, these attention and concern seem to be far from enough in Yang Jing's eyes, but after all, the development direction of the municipal government is to the east, not Hexi, where industry is concentrated, so the so-called "Grand Canal Development" project has been hanging half-dead.

In the past, even if Yang Jing wanted to change the environment of the Grand Canal, which was only 400 meters away from the National Cotton Factory, he was powerless.

But now that he has that capital, he has the most basic financial conditions to transform the land between the Grand Canal and the National Cotton Mill into a large-scale public welfare place integrating museums, parks and playgrounds.

Yang Jing made $4.5 billion with Bitcoin, which is nearly $3 billion even if the national currency appreciates now.

If the Tianqu municipal government can agree to cooperate, then the $4.5 billion will be more than enough.

This land adjacent to the Grand Canal and the canal embankment that is about ten meters high is Yang Jing's paradise when he was a child.

Although he never went down to the river, he picked locust flowers and elm money here in the spring, dug and crawled here (cicada larvae) at night in the summer, and set fire to roast the corn stolen from the field with his friends in the autumn, all of which are memories that Yang Jing will never forget.

Especially when Yang Jing witnessed the most tragic time of the Grand Canal - that is, a stinky ditch, so Yang Jing wanted to turn the Grand Canal into the kind of water that his uncle said.

Being able to swim in the river with his bare buttocks, touch two fish, and dig up a few river mussels is the biggest wish in Yang Jing's heart when he was a child!

Now, it's time to make that wish come true!
