Excellent little farmer

I took a deep breath, and the intimate atmosphere from the past slowly lingered in the car again. Wan Yunhan's elegant style always attracted me vaguely, and it did not diminish at all because of the passage of time. On the contrary, it became stronger and stronger. Signs of incense.

Reserved yet tender, like a goddess, standing quietly beside me, I found myself feeling immersed in it and unable to extricate myself. This feeling made me feel like I was going back in time.

The car finally jolted onto the path leading to Penglai Temple. Along the way, I introduced Wan Yunhan to the origins and anecdotes of Penglai Temple, as well as the cold springs and hot springs at the foot of Chuan'an Mountain a little further away. This really made Wan Yunhan very interested. increase.

She didn't expect that hot springs and cold springs coexisted in Lingtai County, and the lush woods made the group feel as if their lung capacity had increased a lot here.

The four cars finally parked in the open space outside Penglai Temple. Wang Erkai and Dong Shengli were already waiting with Mingxu, the abbot of Penglai Temple, holding signs in front of the Taoist temple.

Wan Yunhan was very puzzled by the hospitality and respect shown to me by the Party Committee Secretary and Township Head of Yanmiao Township, as well as the Taoist Priest Mingxu.

It is understandable that I am diligent. After all, I am also a county parent official. Although I am only a deputy county magistrate, after all, in many aspects, I have more resources at my disposal than a township party committee secretary and township chief. It is normal for me to ask for something. , but that kind of closeness and respect from the heart made Wan Yunhan very curious.

During the conversation, Wan Yunhan also gained some understanding of Wang Erkai and Dong Shengli. Although the two people had very different temperaments, their abilities and standards were remarkable. They were by no means the kind of people who relied solely on flattery or nepotism to get up. Township cadres.

When the two mentioned me, their respect for me was not false. Wan Yunhan was confident that her feelings were not wrong. That kind of respect and approval from the heart cannot be won with words alone, especially These are the secretaries and township heads who work hard at the grassroots level in frontline towns and villages.

Wang Erkai and Dong Shengli also realized that the relationship between this beautiful woman like white lotus in the water and County Magistrate Ye was very unusual, especially the intimacy that County Magistrate Ye showed when he was with her, which made them even more familiar. There was a vague feeling, so they didn't have much scruples when talking.

Wan Yunhan didn't expect that I would be able to start the construction of two highways at the same time in just two or three months after taking office. When she came from Qingyang via Yuzhou, she had already seen the new highway under construction. Although the Hua Highway is still in the busy and intense construction stage, it is conceivable that once this highway is constructed according to the national second-level cement pavement standard, the bottleneck of access to the mausoleum will be broken.

The road from Lingtai County to Yanmiao Township has also begun the preliminary construction stage. Although Wan Yunhan vaguely felt that this might have something to do with me, when she heard Wang Erkai and Dong Shengli's compliments, She was still a little shocked.

If Xinhua Highway is a road built with subsidies from the Department of Transportation, then the start of construction of this Huapeng Highway is really a bit strange. Who is willing to advance funds to repair this road with an investment of more than 25 million? The construction cost of the Lingtai section has exceeded 14 million, which is incredible, but I have succeeded in running it, and two companies are vying to take advantage of it.

Wan Yunhan knew that there must be something weird in this, but Wang Erkai and Dong Shengli didn't know the mystery. They only knew that the Mashou section of Huapeng Highway had entered the preliminary construction stage, but this was real. Being able to do this is enough to convince them, the secretaries and township chiefs.

The scenery in Penglai Temple is quite beautiful. In the midsummer, the ancient trees in the temple are towering, and the summer heat is gone. The forest of steles is everywhere, and the obscure inscriptions on the stone tablets can always evoke people's nostalgia for the past. Tianshi Temple and Laojun Temple are well preserved. It is quite intact. The grand building has double eaves and slightly white wooden pillars and window lattice, which seems to tell the world its history.

"It's a pity that in such a large palace, why are there so many abandoned palaces and ruins that have not yet been restored?"

"There are some reasons for that. During the Cultural Revolution, there were many disasters and many palaces were destroyed. The two palaces that survived were lucky to escape because there was a lot of felled wood in the palaces. Today, there are no buildings here. It has been officially designated as a place for religious activities, so although many believers hope to rebuild several temples, Guanli still hopes to wait until County Magistrate Ye gets the official approval before Guanli can make a decision."

I accompanied Zhu Guoping and Hua Xingyun and others to visit the temple. I never thought that Zhu Guoping and others were very interested in Taoist culture. Although Taoist Master Mingxu was also a bit old, I didn't expect that he had some reasons and could be regarded as a Taoist culture. A cultural man, it is said that he attended junior high school in the 1950s and 1960s. Later, due to family changes, he entered the mountains to practice Taoism. When he was young, he traveled to many famous mountains and rivers, and finally settled here.

"Taoist Master Mingxu doesn't need to use these words to trick me. Since I promised you something, I will naturally do it. I have already talked to County Magistrate Xin and reported the information to the Regional Ethnic and Religious Committee. We still need to go through the final hurdle of the Provincial Ethnic and Religious Affairs Committee, and it will probably take some time, after all, the province pays more attention to these procedural matters."

I also smiled, because the Taoist priest Mingxu was so knowledgeable these few times, and I wanted to facilitate this matter. What's more, if such a rare scenic spot is not a legal religious activity site, it is really unreasonable. It is also an unavoidable fact that there are so many good men and women.

"Hehe! It's up to County Magistrate Hongfu to ask for help. If this can be done, everyone, young and old, will be grateful to Magistrate Ye for his kindness."

Taoist Master Mingxu was also excited. This was not easy. In the early years, this Penglai Temple was regarded as a place where anyone could come and go. The Taoist priests in your temple could not control others. To be serious, this is still an illegal place. You don’t have enough confidence. What do you want to do? They are timid about everything, just hoping to clear their names.

Mingxu was confident that as long as Penglai Temple could get approval from the Ethnic and Religious Affairs Committee, with his own ability, in at most three to five years, he could turn Penglai Temple into a famous incense holy land with a radius of hundreds of miles.

Not to mention the counties near this mausoleum, including Huxiang in the east, Binzhou in the south, Yongliang in the west, and Tongcheng in the north, all can attract a large number of faithful men and women to come here to practice Taoism and cultivate their character. By then, Penglai Temple will truly It’s a good life.

I waved my hand and said nothing more. Penglai Temple is just a part of the Ma Shou tourist attraction planned by me. Even if Mingxu is not so enthusiastic and active, I still have to find a way to get this approval for Penglai Temple.

Among the group of people who came with Zhu Guoping and Hua Xingyun were two brothers named Tao, which intrigued me. According to Zhu Guoping and Hua Xingyun’s introduction, the Yawen Hotel, the first three-star hotel in Mianzhou city, It was run by these two brothers.

In addition, the Liuhua Valley Scenic Area in Mianzhou was also developed and operated by the Xinghan Tourism Industrial Development Company established by the two brothers. It was also hailed as a model of commercial operation of tourism resources at the time. After three years, After years of development, it has entered a stable profit period.

These two brothers are also the people I deliberately describe the roles of Zhu Guoping and Hua Xingyun. As the first section of Xinhua Highway and Huapeng Highway will be officially completed and opened to traffic after the year, the traffic bottleneck in Lingtai will be broken, so Lingtai will also There are certain conditions for attracting foreign investors.

I don’t have high hopes for the introduction of industrial enterprises. After all, it is unrealistic to suddenly develop industry in an agricultural county with no industrial foundation. It can only be tailored to local conditions and based on the specific resource conditions of Lingtai. develop.

In my eyes, what is most suitable for development of Lingtai is tourism resources, especially the line from Huanmu Mountain to Penglai Temple. It is simply a natural national tourist scenic spot. With a little development, it can become a quite mature tourist scenic spot. .

Penglai Temple's vegetarian banquet once again amazed the guests. Jasper wine, Penglai Temple's secret pickles, wild kiwi juice, wild vegetable soup, these light and delicious snacks whetted the appetites of the guests who were used to eating big fish and meat. The sweet taste of Jasper wine also makes these guests from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, who are not used to the high-quality liquor in the central and western regions, feel more friendly and refreshing.

Evil Eagle Cliff, Heifeng Gorge, Tianwangping, and several scenic spots behind Penglai Temple. With my careful preparation, a lot of popular allusions and legends came out of Mingxu and me, which made all the guests laugh. Everyone was dancing with joy, and an ancient stone tablet was randomly dug out in the view. He could talk about it for a long time.

The simple and elegant guest rooms, the hard wooden beds, the clean and simple coarse cloth quilts, and the unique smell of sandalwood, all brought great surprise and happiness to a group of guests.

“It’s so beautiful here!”

After dinner, Wan Yunhan and I walked down the hillside behind the view. The lush and undulating forest was well-proportioned, with the sound of birds chirping and unknown small animals moving in the grass from time to time, which always brought a sense of vitality and peace to people. vitality.
