Sun Yonggui and Zhao Ruyan came to Jiangnan County in the golden autumn of October, and Min Haoran has been accompanying Sun Yonggui and Zhao Ruyan to experience the humanistic customs of Jiangnan County in the past few days.

God overturned the color palette, full of colors, blue sky, white clouds, grasslands, hot springs, snow-capped mountains, glaciers, ancient cities, old alleys, deserts, Gobi, mountains, canyons...... Endless scenery, endless melons and fruits, and endless delicacies.

Xiuwai Huizhong and Zhong Lingyuxiu's Xinjiang stole all the beauty of the world, and dressed up to be so beautiful, so beautiful that it was suffocating. If 'great beauty' is used to describe a place, people who have been to Xinjiang will not hesitate to give it to Xinjiang.

"I heard that Populus euphratica has the reputation of standing for 3,000 years of immortality, 3,000 years of death without falling, and 3,000 years of immortality, which is the backbone of the desert. Sun Yonggui looked at the poplar forest with a golden reflection and exclaimed.

"Ninety percent of the world's poplars are in China, 90 percent of China's poplars are in Xinjiang, and 90 percent of Xinjiang's poplars are in southern Xinjiang. It is the second largest living fossil of a plant after Ginkgo, an ancient tree species remnant of the third century, and the rarest ancient tree species in the world. Min Haoran leaned against a vigorous poplar tree to introduce its past and present life.

"The poplar mushrooms you tasted yesterday are a delicacy, and they are only available in the poplar forest. Min Haoran added.

Populus euphratica mushrooms and Tianshan snow lotus are famous, and they are known as the "two sisters of Xinjiang".

There is also a sad legend about poplar mushrooms.

One day, the Queen Mother of the West went to Kunlun to see the "Father of the Iceberg" Qiao Geli, passing through the lush poplar forest, only to see the red deer crying and the sheep crying, so the Queen Mother of the West stopped to inquire.

"Although the water and grass here are abundant, but the evil disease is not removed, please give the mother a holy thing, so as not to destroy the soul. The deer king replied.

The Queen Mother of the West pondered for a moment, whispered to the maid, and then raised her slender arms, and a few gray scales fell from the sky, and bunches of "black roses" grew on the ground, which were eaten by the old, weak, sick and disabled.

It's a pity that the production of poplar mushrooms is very small. The local xx once offered a reward of 300,000 yuan to encourage artificial cultivation, but it was unsuccessful, so there is a saying that "one or two gold and one or two mushrooms, and it is difficult to buy poplar mushrooms for a thousand gold".

"Don't talk about prosperity in the world, you can't cover the poplar under the wild sand. Zhao Ruyan sighed. The autumn wind of October swept through with a chill, and Zhao Ruyan tightened her shoulders.

"However, although the poplar is beautiful, proud and commendable, the life span is only a hundred years, and the willow tree is more admired by me. Min Haoran and his entourage walked through the poplar forest by the lake. Seeing Zhao Ruyan shrinking her shoulders, Min Haoran took off her coat and draped it on her, and Zhao Ruyan thanked her with a smile.

"Isn't willow tree very common, everywhere. There are also in the mainland, willow, weeping willow, willow, willow, willow, there are many varieties, and there is no gorgeous appearance. Sun Yonggui looked at Min Haoran suspiciously.

"It is precisely because it is everywhere that there is no gorgeous appearance, which shows that the willow tree is not supportive, not delicate, and humble to the world. If you have the opportunity, go to the Zong Ling Spring to have a look, it is the Sect of Ten Thousand Willows. The clear spring in the middle of the stone cliff is flying, the four thousand-year-old willows under the cliff are like a family of four holding each other's hands, the roots are intertwined, the tree body lies down several times and rises several times, it seems to wither and grow, just like a long dragon. It is said that there are still many infertile young men and women who travel thousands of miles to live there for a month, and drink the spring water to get pregnant. Min Haoran stopped and introduced the willow tree: "And the real willow king is in Dawakun on the edge of the desert. The tree is more than 20 meters high, the ground diameter is nearly three meters, the crown covers an area of more than one acre, and the tree is more than 2,000 years old, and it has won the Guinness 'longest life willow tree' in the world. ”

Min Haoran's plot of the willow tree is not only the tenacious vitality of the willow tree, but also the story of Zuo Gongliu.

It was the last years of the Qing Dynasty, Aguba, with the support and instigation of the British, raised troops to invade southern Xinjiang, and Tsarist Russia also took the opportunity to send troops to occupy Ili, and the frontier was in an emergency.

Among the courtiers there was endless debate over coastal defense and fortress defense, and Li Hongzhang advocated abandoning Xinjiang to protect coastal defense. In order to protect herself, Cixi at that time either ceded land or lost silver, only cared about her own leisure, regardless of the face of the Qing Dynasty and the unification of China, and also advocated abandoning Xinjiang for self-protection. Zuo Zongtang, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu at the time, resolutely advocated the recovery of Xinjiang.

Although the turtle is long-lived, there is still a time, and the old man is in wait, and his ambition is thousands of miles. Zuo Zongtang led 60,000 Huxiang soldiers to pick up the coffin and travel all the way west. It was this veteran general who was over the age of six, and it took less than two years to recover the lost territory in Xinjiang.

His combat journey is also an army of tree planting. Everyone carries willow saplings, all the way to the battle, all the way to plant, in the Gobi Desert to form a "thousands of miles of green like a curtain" outside the landscape. In order to commemorate Zuo Zongtang, people call these willows Zuo Gong Willow.

"This poplar and willow may still have a marriage relationship, when the poplar is young, the leaves are the same as the willow tree, long and pointed, ordinary people can't tell the willow and poplar. When it grows up, the leaves of Populus euphratica slowly become oval, and they are a bit like ginkgo leaves, so the poplar tree is also called a heterophyllous tree. Min Haoran introduced poplar and willow trees to the two CEOs in detail.

"We also have a willow tree here, which people call a thousand cuts. The more you cut down, the longer the more lush they become, like Xia Minghan's revolutionary spirit of 'it doesn't matter if you cut off your head, as long as the doctrine is true', they are born to die, plug and live, resist thousands of miles of wild sand, and protect the people here for generations. Min Haoran was immersed in his admiration for the willow tree.

"I really didn't expect that in the western border of the motherland, there are not only such beautiful scenery, but also such shocking and touching stories. Zhao Ruyan glanced at Min Haoran affectionately while admiring. This may be the driving force for Min Haoran to take root in Xinjiang, Zhao Ruyan thinks.

At sunset, the golden light sprinkled with poplars, and the group drove back without getting enough of it.

"Secretary Yuan, your park is very high-end, and its functions are so complete, no less than the parks in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Sun Yonggui praised. The next day, Sun Yonggui and Zhao Ruyan inspected the industrial park accompanied by Yuan Jing, Min Haoran, Wan Qingguo and others.

"Mr. Sun, I heard that you are interested in investing, and it was tailored for your company by Comrade Xiao Min who lived on the construction site for half a year. Yuan Jing pointed at Min Haoran and said as she walked.

"I didn't expect that there is such a good scenery and environment in the border of the motherland, it is really a virgin land. However, our company is not so big, your factories can accommodate more than 20,000 people, and we can only solve the employment of 10,000 people. Sun Yonggui was moved by the sincerity of Jiangnan County, and his determination to invest has been determined.

"With your golden phoenix, why don't you come to the canary. Once you land your investment, it will attract more enterprises to develop, and the industry is not all cluster development. ”

When Min Haoran heard Yuan Jing's words, he figured out why so many factories were built.

"Secretary Yuan, thank you very much for your attention to our company, I will make preliminary preparations as soon as possible when I go back, and produce here as soon as possible. After Sun Yonggui finished speaking, he clasped Yuan Jing's hand with both hands, and then said to Zhao Ruyan: "Mr. Zhao, you should hurry up and send technicians to train employees, and I will send the machinery and equipment as soon as possible." ”

After Min Haoran and Wan Qingguo left Zhejiang last time, Zhao Ruyan and Sun Yonggui discussed joint investment. Once the project is implemented, Sun Yonggui will be responsible for financing and equipment, and Zhao Ruyan will be responsible for technology and management, and a preliminary consensus on share sharing will be reached.

After Sun Yonggui and Zhao Ruyan signed an agreement of intent with Jiangnan County, they flew back to Zhejiang.

Under the strong recommendation of Yuan Jing, not long after the organization inspection, Min Haoran was appointed by the organization as the deputy secretary of the Jiangnan County Party Committee.
