Zhao Erya looked at the stone staircase in front of her that was tilted at 50 or 60 degrees. She had been walking for an hour and she was almost desperate before she finished walking.
After taking a sip of mineral water, he smiled at Zhang Yida beside him and said, "My legs are so sore! Just carry me!"
"I'm telling you if you drive up the mountain, you have to climb this stone staircase. There are 2431 stairs, which are enough for you to climb."
Although he said this, Zhang Yida still bent down. Zhao Erya, who was still sitting on the stone stairs, stood up with a smile and jumped on Zhang Yida's back.
"Hey, Shen is dead. You have gained at least ten pounds since you came to my house."
Zhang Yida climbed up the stone stairs with heavy steps while holding on to the railing.
"I'm not your mother. She cooks so many delicious dishes every day, but I can't help it..." Zhao Erya pretended to be angry.
"Hey, tell me the story of Yunding Stone City!" Zhao Erya said again.
"Okay, then let me tell you!"
Zhang Yida started to preach while carrying her up the stone stairs:
"In the late Southern Song Dynasty more than 700 years ago, the war between Bashu and Shu against the Mongolian army lasted for more than 60 years. During this period, more than 8,000 lone soldiers in Yunding Mountain, led by General Yu Jie, the pacification envoy of Sichuan, held on to the Tuojiang River in spite of dangers.
On the mountaintop castle next to it, it blocked the Mongolian army for 15 years..."
"What about the result?" Zhao Erya was very interested and asked again.
"The result was that in the spring of 1266, the Mongolian army received reinforcements and used long-range artillery to destroy the farming fields on the mountain. In addition, Shicheng had long been out of food. The defenders had to rely on gathering artemisia and flour to make cakes. They were not full and began to kill the army and horses again. All the army and horses were killed.
Now, they eat grass roots and tree bark.
After running out of ammunition and food, the Southern Song Dynasty defenders fought a final battle. All the remaining 350 Song soldiers were killed, and Yu Jie also committed suicide by taking poison.
At this point, all 8,000 defenders were sacrificed, and the Mongolian army suffered more than 20,000 casualties. Yunding Stone City fell for the first time."
"Why do you say it fell for the first time?" Zhao Erya was a little confused.
“Because in 1268 and 1271, the remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty in the Rongcheng area counterattacked and captured this mountaintop stone city.
It's a pity that the Mongolian army at that time was attacking Eurasia, but it didn't last long before these remnants of the army were wiped out again."
Zhao Erya suddenly said: "Such a touching story can be made into a movie."
"I guess I won't pass the trial, so forget it!" Zhang Yida sighed.
Zhao Erya saw Zhang Yida sweating profusely and panting, so she said, "You'd better put me down! I'll go by myself!"
"It's okay, I think I can still hold on!"
Zhang Yida walked dozens of more steps, looked at the endless stone staircase in front of him, and said, "I feel that my persistence is in vain."
So Zhang Yida put Zhao Erya down, and the two of them walked and stopped, and it took them three or four hours to reach the top of the mountain.
There was a temple on the top of the mountain and there was a Tongxin knot for sale, so Zhao Erya bought one and asked Zhang Yida to hold her while she tied the Tongxin knot to a marriage tree.
Zhao Erya saw the concentric knots fluttering in the wind on the tree, quickly closed her eyes and made a wish.
"What wish did you make?"
Zhao Erya smiled and said, "If I don't tell you, it won't work if I tell you."
After visiting the temple, Zhang Yida and Zhao Erya took a look at the restored ancient city wall.
Compared to previous years, it has indeed changed a lot.
Originally, there were only a few tattered city walls left, but now they have been re-reinforced and a certain amount of widening has been carried out on the original basis.
An old man staying at the construction site came over and asked, "Young man, what do you do?"
"Oh, I just see that it's different from a few years ago. Come and take a look."
Zhang Yida took out another Zhonghua and handed one to the uncle, and the two began to talk.
The uncle lit up China, took a nice puff, and chatted with Zhang Yida, "That's right, I heard that a rich man named Zhang Yida from this county donated tens of millions of yuan to repair the Yunding Stone City."
"Ten million, that's quite a lot." Zhang Yida echoed the old man.
"Isn't that right!" The uncle began to preach again, "My home is at the foot of this mountain. Since I was a child, I have heard stories from the older generation about the stone city on the mountain that fought against the Mongolian and Yuan Tatars.
Now they are plowing the soil in some places at the foot of the mountain and digging out some weapons from time to time..."
"Uncle, is the ancient city wall repaired soon?" Zhang Yida asked.
"Yes, the main structure is complete, we will just wait until the New Year to finish it."
Zhang Yida chatted with the uncle for a few more words, then said goodbye and left.
Zhang Yida outsourced the renovation project of Yunding Stone City to an architectural design company in Beijing.
But I never came to the site to check it out. I only had some free time during the Chinese New Year this year, so I took Zhao Erya over for a half-tour and half-inspection trip.
Zhang Yida is generally very satisfied. Even 10 million would not be able to make this place so majestic and spectacular.
…
"Mr. Zhang, I heard that you have returned to Jinyu County. Do you have some free time to talk about it?"
The person who called Zhang Yida was County Magistrate Gu. Zhang Yida was driving home when he replied:
"Okay! If the leader invites me, I have to give him face no matter what."
"Okay, I'll prepare some wine in my humble residence and wait for Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Yida drove to the county government compound. County Magistrate Gu was already waiting at the gate of the compound.
This attitude was very low, which made Zhang Yida feel quite emotional. It is not easy to achieve some results and boost GDP!
Arriving at Magistrate Gu’s house, Zhang Yida introduced Zhao Erya, “This is my girlfriend Zhao Erya!”
"Oh!" County Magistrate Gu shook hands with Zhao Erya warmly, "Hello, Miss Zhao! I went to the capital for a meeting in the early years, and I was lucky enough to meet your father!"
"You know my dad?" Zhao Erya was quite surprised.
"It's quite familiar!" County Magistrate Gu was quite embarrassed. When he went to the capital for meetings in his early years, Zhao Wenbin was only the deputy director, but now he was suddenly separated by three levels. The gap was so huge that it was disappointing.
Mrs. Gu is a graceful and generous middle-aged woman. Her husband had already greeted her and told her their identities. She walked out of the kitchen and greeted Zhang Yida and Zhao Erya warmly.
After the greetings, Zhang Yida and County Magistrate Gu went into the study, while Zhao Erya went to the kitchen to help.
When they arrived at the study, County Magistrate Gu handed Zhang Yida a cigarette and said, "Mr. Zhang!"
"You should call me Yida!" Zhang Yida also showed great respect to his parents. They picked you up at the gate of the community and entertained you at home. This was a sign of closeness.
"Okay, Yida, you went to Yunding Stone City too, how was it? Are you satisfied?"
Zhang Yida nodded, "I am quite satisfied in all aspects, and the leaders have worked hard to get through it."
"Hey!" County Magistrate Gu waved his hand, "You don't take credit for the donation, so how can I dare to take credit for it? Protecting cultural monuments is what our parents should do."
"How have you considered the matter of the second headquarters?"
On the way here, Zhang Yida guessed that this person was entertaining him for this matter.
"The relocation cost is very high, and there is no supporting talent market in Chengdu, so the board of directors has been in a stalemate!"
Seeing that County Magistrate Gu looked a little ugly, Zhang Yida explained: "As you know, there are many foreign venture capital investors in our company.
They foreigners always only consider their own interests, but they don’t care about their feelings about their hometown."
"Yes, I understand!" County Magistrate Gu nodded and added: "The city government has made great determination to upgrade the industry this time. If you are willing to put the second headquarters in Chengdu, you can place it according to the level of the land.
The commercial enterprise will grant you a piece of land to build the headquarters building at 70% of the base land price.
In addition, in terms of taxation, tax refunds and exemptions can also be provided...
Issue "Rongcheng Talent Green Card" to your company's senior managers and core technical personnel, and provide hierarchical and classified service guarantees such as housing, settlement, spouse's employment, children's kindergarten enrollment, medical care, and entrepreneurship support..."
Zhang Yida listened carefully to the conditions and found that they were indeed quite good.
"Well, I will return to the capital in two days, and I will arrange a business team to have a negotiation with the Chengdu government.
In addition, I am doing some work on foreign investors and trying to implement this matter as soon as possible."
County Magistrate Gu smiled and said: "Then you can't play Tai Chi again this time. This time the city government has spent a lot of money to introduce you, a catfish, to completely stir up the stagnant Internet in Rongcheng."
Zhang Yida smiled and said nothing. If you give me these discounts, you will definitely not suffer any loss. No matter what, it is better than giving Smartisan a mobile phone!
Mrs. Gu prepared a table of delicious meals, while Zhang Yida and County Magistrate Gu had a few drinks together.
After the guests and hosts had a good time, Zhao Erya drove Zhang Yida back home.
On the road.
"Erya, let me ask you a question. Do you think we should move some companies and departments to Chengdu?"
Zhao Erya said while driving the car: "Did County Magistrate Gu just talk to you about this again?"
"Yes! That's what we're talking about!"
Zhao Erya thought for a while and said, "I remember that Penguin and Ahri also have branches in Chengdu! If other giants do what they do, there must be some truth to it."
"Well, you are right, it seems we have to do the same."
"When will you take me to see the giant pandas?" Zhao Erya remembered, but she hadn't seen the giant pandas yet.
"Let's go to Ya'an Giant Panda Base tomorrow."
…
Early the next morning, Zhang Yida and Zhao Erya drove to the giant panda base.
After donating 4,000 yuan to the Panda Protection Fund, Zhao Erya wore a "sterile suit" and a mask, and finally hugged a cute little panda.
Zhang Yida, also wearing sterile clothes, stood next to her. Watching her take a bottle to feed the little national treasure, he immediately smiled.
"Why are you laughing?" Zhao Erya rolled her eyes at him.
"I feel like a good wife and mother, haha!"
Zhao Erya was very proud, "That's necessary!"
Zhao Erya couldn't bear to let go of the panda, and even asked Zhang Yida to take photos of her in various poses.
"Hey, I really can't bear to leave them. It would be great if I could take one home and raise it."
There is a time limit for hugging pandas. You can only hold them for 10 minutes. When the 10 minutes are almost up, Zhao Erya is still reluctant to leave, touching the giant panda’s head in various ways.
"Okay, let's come and see you next time! There's a panda doll next to it. I'll buy you a car and take it back to the head office!"
Zhang Yida said with a smile that he understood Zhao Erya quite well. Girls are simply powerless against national treasures.
Zhang Yida took her to the doll shop outside the base and picked the biggest one for her. She finally showed a satisfied smile.
