Back at Yizhishan, both Fangzheng and Honghaier had insomnia.
Red Boy was homesick, lying on the roof looking at the stars in the sky, muttering something... The squirrel squatted beside it, looking up in a daze.
Fang Zheng was lying in the Zen room, looking at the ceiling. He thought of the scene he saw when he played the drum for the first time. His parents...he had them too. But where were they? Were they sad when they let him go? So.
After all these years, have they missed him? Probably not, otherwise, they would have come to see him.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng felt a little sad. He subconsciously touched a photo. It was a photo of Zen Master Yi Zhi. The old monk smiled very kindly. The face of Zen Master Yi Zhi in the photo did not have as many wrinkles as it did later.
, the eyebrows are also black, and the smile is very beautiful.
Unknowingly, Fang Zheng fell asleep holding a photo of Zen Master Yi Zhi.
A night of silence.
The next day, bells and drums rang in unison, as close as Yizhi Village and as far away as Songwu County. Everyone listened to this sound and got up one after another, going to work and working hard. This has become everyone's habit.
.
After ringing the bells and drums, he returned to the yard, closed the door, and cleaned the Buddhist hall. The temple will not be open to the public until the Buddhist hall is cleaned. This is also Fang Zheng's rule. After Fang Zheng cleaned the temple, had breakfast, and pushed
When he opened the temple door, Fang Zheng was stunned!
I saw a man standing at the door, with a dignified appearance and a calm expression on his brows. It was obvious that he was a man who had been in a high position for a long time and was either rich or noble.
Before Fang Zheng could greet him, a smile broke out on the man's majestic face and he said with a smile: "Abbot Fang Zheng, it's really hard to meet you once. Let me introduce myself, my name is Qi Dongsheng, and I am the parent officer of our Songwu County for the time being.
"
Fangzheng was stunned, my dear, the county magistrate didn't even sleep in? He came to block the door so early, how big a hatred is this? He glanced at Qi Dongsheng, his hands were empty, he didn't bring a knife or a gun, and there was no armed police behind him.
It seems that the guards are not looking for trouble.
Fangzheng clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, it turns out he is the donor, the poor monk is polite."
Although he is the county magistrate, Fang Zheng is an outsider. No matter who you are, you are always called the benefactor. As for greetings, he greets everyone with courtesy.
County Magistrate Qi obviously didn't care about this. He said hello to Hong Boy who just came out of the backyard, and then said: "Abbot Fangzheng, do you have time to go for a walk together?"
Fang Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Then let's take a walk."
The Yizhi Temple was too small for two people to walk, so the two of them walked on the top of the mountain through the morning mist, as if they were walking on clouds. From a distance, they looked like immortals coming to earth.
"Abbot Fangzheng, in ancient times there was a tradition of visiting the thatched cottage three times. I have been to Yizhi Temple exactly three times." County Magistrate Qi said with a smile.
Fang Zheng said: "Monks don't lie. The two times the donor came, the poor monk was in the temple, but he just didn't come out to meet him."
"Uh..." County Magistrate Qi was stunned. After so many years in politics, most of the people he saw were crying and hiding their smiles. At least they were smiling and saying good things. He had never seen such a mouth.
I'm right behind you, but I can't see you. Why!
County Magistrate Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Abbott is really outspoken."
Fang Zheng shook his head and said: "No, the poor monk just doesn't want to lie and is easily struck by lightning. Besides, there is no need to be convoluted about what we are talking about today. The donor wants to develop Yizhi Mountain into a tourist attraction to attract
Tourist?"
County Magistrate Qi was stunned? This monk is quite humorous. He was struck by lightning? Hahaha... County Magistrate Qi nodded and said: "In that case, I won’t hide it anymore, so let’s just tell the truth. To be honest, we in Songwu County
We are too poor. It can be said that we don’t have anything we want, but we have everything we don’t want. We don’t have the scenic spots or industrial background we want, and the poor people we don’t want are everywhere. If we don’t want to find a way to break this situation, we can only continue.
Go down
.I don’t say it’s for the country and the people. Even if it’s for my own political achievements, I still want to do something while I’m still young. I’ve been in Songwu County for two months.
I visited all the villages and towns in Songwu County. Some places do have some nice scenery with potential for development. However, they can’t be connected together! And the infrastructure is far less good than that of Yizhishan, and the development cost is too high.
big."
Fang Zheng didn't say anything and continued to listen. It was also the first time he heard an official as big as the county magistrate say such straightforward words. Perhaps to many people, the county magistrate is just a big official like sesame seeds and mung beans, but as an ordinary person
Ordinary people, or people living in the county, the county magistrate is really a high-ranking official! At least the county magistrate's words are very effective in matters concerning this three-thirds of an acre of land.
Then County Magistrate Qi detailed the situation of nearby Hongyan Village, Xuecun and other villages. Fangzheng was shocked by this statement. He grew up in this area and can say that he knows many places and villages.
I understand very well. Because of this, what County Magistrate Qi said,
This shocked him even more! Because what County Magistrate Qi said was not general, but detailed information about each village! It ranged from the cultivated land area, crop output, the height of the mountain peaks, to the relative elites and large agricultural households in that village.
, can be said accurately.
It can be seen from this that County Magistrate Qi really didn’t boast before. He didn’t know everything about Songwu County, but he also understood most of it.
This is the first time Fang Zheng has seen a county magistrate who can work hard in this area, and he has to admit that this guy really wants to do something practical. But the question is, is Yizhishan really suitable for tourism development?
So Fang Zheng asked this question.
As a result, this question seemed to open the key to County Magistrate Qi's chatterbox. He analyzed it for Fang Zheng from all angles. The final result was that although it was not the best or most ideal, at present, there was indeed something to be done here!
Moreover, this is a win-win situation for the temple and Songwu County. County Magistrate Qi is responsible for sending people out to promote the temple, but they don’t charge tourists any money for incense, and they don’t even charge tickets for going up the mountain!
When Fang Zheng heard this, he asked suspiciously: "If you don't charge tickets? How much does the government earn?"
County Magistrate Qi laughed loudly and said: "When tourists come, they have to eat, drink and sleep, right? When they leave, they always have to take some souvenirs with them, right? Isn't this just money? The people make money and we collect taxes. Isn't this a win-win situation?"
As for the maintenance of the temple, I have already discussed it with Secretary Liu and will do it for you.
Yizhi Temple applies for special repair funds. These funds also include the cost of repairing mountain roads. In this way, your scenic spot basically does not need any money from the local government and can also stimulate the economy. Of course, if Yizhishan can become a major scenic spot in the future
, we don’t mind charging some admission money.”
Fang Zheng looked at County Magistrate Qi who was smiling happily and asked: "Donor Qi, you have also seen the poor monk on this mountain. I'm afraid it can't accommodate many people. Besides, the mountain road is steep and narrow. In rainy and snowy weather, there will be too many people."
It’s also dangerous, are you sure you want to make this place bigger?”
"This is indeed a problem, but as long as you agree, we will find ways to solve these problems." County Magistrate Qi said very seriously.
