Shi Liang convened the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee overnight, and there was only one topic, and the whole province should use the strength of the whole province to hold this Buddhist event! The meeting decided to immediately dispatch thousands of cadres and armed police officers to Yonglang County to maintain order, and at the same time urgently allocate thousands of sets of prefabricated houses and tents to Yonglang County, and then allocate large quantities of grain, oil, vegetables, meat, and daily necessities from all parts of the province to supply Shannan on a priority basis.

These ten red-clothed lamas in western Tibet are all highly respected lamas, and they all have a large number of believers, as soon as they come, there are thousands of faithful believers to follow, which also opens the eyes of Buddhist believers in Middle Earth, these Lamaist believers will no longer take the car after arriving in Yonglang County, they are all three steps and one bow, and the five-body bow to the ground, plus the prayer wheel in their hands and the distinctive national costumes have also become a strange scenery, attracting many tourists to watch, Fortunately, there were a large number of police officers along the road to maintain order, but there was no chaos.

Among the senior monks who came to participate in the Buddhist forum this time were many big figures, including Venerable Huineng, president of the National Buddhist Association, Venerable Fa Ming and Venerable Yuanneng, vice presidents, and there were also two vice presidents of the Lamaist sect, Master Ram Gyatso and Master Ngawang Cheren.

These monks were quite surprised when they saw Duan Zetao, and even said that he had Huigen, and the ten red-clothed lamas of the Lamaist Sect saluted him directly, claiming to be the protector of the Dharma outside the teaching, and specially conveyed the greetings of the Panchen Living Buddha, which made everyone even more surprised, fortunately, Master Shiran came out to relieve the siege, otherwise those monks would really want to treat Duan Zetao as a monster.

All of them are eminent monks, and there are many similarities in Buddhism, and they have a sense of sympathy for each other, and they all praise this Buddhist forum for being well organized and meaningful.

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Duan Zetao let Hu Tielong also participate, and all Buddhist believers and tourists can only look at the Buddha treasures three meters away from the display case, and are not allowed to touch and take pictures.

On the day of the official opening of the Buddhist forum, the scene was shocked, the mountains were full of kneeling black heads, from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, whether it was the original stone steps up the mountain or the newly built winding mountain road, all densely kneeling full of devout Buddhist believers, many Buddhist believers wept bitterly, just because they could not hear the master's lecture at close range, fortunately, Duan Zetao had an idea, and temporarily set up a loudspeaker from the top of the mountain to come down, so that even at the foot of the mountain, you can hear the master's lecture, A number of television stations and online media also broadcast the grand occasion of the Buddhist Forum live.

The Buddhist forum is held for a week, there are four teachers preaching the scriptures every day, and there are wonderful teachers talking about the Tao, and when the Buddhist forum ends, Duan Zetao and the staff are tired and lie down, the whole Buddhist forum is very successful, with the joint efforts of everyone, in addition to two small stampede accidents, there are more than a dozen Buddhist believers suffered minor injuries, and finally there is no big mess.

Venerable Hui Neng, president of the National Buddhist Association, said that such a Buddhist forum will be held every three years in the future, and that the Buddhist Association is ready to invest in the construction of a Buddhist college in Shannan.

The Buddhist forum also raised donations of up to 250 million yuan from Buddhist believers, all of which will be used for the expansion of the Xianni Temple, which also means that the Xiani Temple will gradually become a Buddhist center in southern China and a holy place for Buddhist believers to make pilgrimages.

Taking advantage of the east wind of this Buddhist forum, Ye Yongjian planned a series of publicity and promotion offensives in the ancient town of Xianni were also launched, and for a time Shannan City frequently appeared in the newspapers of major media, and the international superstar Sun Miaoke also announced in a high-profile manner that he would serve as the spokesperson of Yonglang County's tourism image, which attracted the attention of many media.

As soon as Duan Zetao's cute cartoon image was launched, it triggered another hot topic, whether government officials appeared in cartoon images to promote tourist attractions and was it close to the people, or a show? ! The major media have different opinions, and the debate will not be fruitful, but it has undoubtedly greatly increased the popularity of Shannan City.

At the same time, the World Heritage Committee officially announced that the ancient town of Xiani was included in the list of world cultural heritage, and announced it on its official website, which also means that the application of the ancient town of Xiani has been successful! As soon as this news was announced, it immediately pushed this wave of publicity and promotion offensive to its peak, and Xiani Ancient Town suddenly became a hot topic in the media and a familiar name to the Chinese people.

The effect of this wave of publicity and promotion offensive is immediate, the number of tourists received by Yonglang County has surged from less than 3 million last year to 29 million, and the income of tourism and related industries has also historically exceeded the 1 billion yuan mark.

The popularity of tourism has also driven the popularity of the tertiary industry such as hotels, catering, entertainment and other industries in Shannan City, and the biggest benefit is the real estate industry in Shannan City, the influx of a large number of foreign population has made the real estate prices in Shannan City almost double a day, and the investment enthusiasm of real estate developers is high, and the second phase of the urban transformation project in Shannan City has been launched, and hundreds of local and foreign real estate companies have participated in the bidding for the second phase of the project.

According to the semi-annual statistics of the Provincial Bureau of Statistics, Shannan City's GDP growth rate ranks first among prefecture-level cities in the province, and the corresponding per capita income of the people of Shannan City has also greatly increased, and Shannan City is becoming a rapidly rising emerging city in the western region of Jiangnan Province.

At the provincial economic work conference, Governor Chu Tianxiong specially praised Shannan City by name for its outstanding achievements in economic development work, and called on all cities in the province to learn from Shannan's experience, combined with local characteristics, to create a new economic growth point, usually sitting in the corner of the meeting with their heads bowed and waiting for the criticism of Yuan Chen and Duan Zetao also sat in the first row with their eyebrows raised for the first time, and after the meeting, the secretaries and mayors of various cities surrounded Yuan Chen and Duan Zetao, saying that they wanted to go to Shannan City to learn from experience.

Ji Mo's eyes lit up even more, and he grabbed Duan Zetao's hand and didn't let go, "Zetao, you are simply a fairy hand who turns stones into gold, it has been less than two years since he went to Shannan to serve as the mayor, and he was stunned to make Shannan's poor golden phoenix, you still come to Xingning to build a team with me, I will listen to you for everything, and it will be a ...... for you to help."

Yuan Chen teamed up with Duan Zetao during this time, and his personality was also a lot more cheerful, his ears were pointy, he was talking to others, and when he heard Ji Mo's words, he hurriedly turned his head and laughed: "Old Ji, you are less here, I think of our Shannan to dig the corner, there is no door, I am very happy with Zetao, and the cooperation is very tacit, so you will have less ghost ideas......."

On the way back to Shannan, Yuan Chen was still very interested, and kept looking forward to the next development prospects of Shannan with Duan Zetao, Duan Zetao seemed calmer, and poured cold water and said: "Secretary Yuan, I think we should be vigilant against the problem of overheating real estate, housing prices are too high, it is easy to have a real estate bubble, and the people can't afford to buy houses, which will affect the people's sense of well-being, so we should introduce some measures to limit the involvement of speculative buyers and increase the construction of affordable housing and affordable housing. First of all, to meet the rigid housing needs of the people, to avoid the inflated housing prices ......".

"In addition, I think we should increase investment in education, health and other basic undertakings closely related to the people's livelihood, in the past we have no money, now our pockets are bulging, it is time to increase investment in these aspects, I plan to complete the renovation of all schools in the city within a year, and raise the salary level of educators in the city...... In addition, the medical conditions and hardware facilities in Shannan are too poor......".

Yuan Chen interrupted Duan Zetao's words a little impatiently, and said disapprehantly: "Mayor Zetao, I don't agree with your opinion, now the whole country is developing the real estate industry, Shannan's housing prices are relatively low compared with similar cities in the country, it's too early to talk about what real estate bubble is, if you don't seize the current development opportunity, there will be no store in this village, Shannan still has to work hard and fast, in order to ......advance by leaps and bounds."

"As for what you said about increasing investment in education, health and other basic undertakings closely related to the people's livelihood, it is a bottomless pit, how much money is not enough, of course, I have no opinion on appropriately increasing investment, but according to what you said to complete the renovation of all schools in the city within one year, and raise the wages of the city's educators, this is not a small amount of money, if the finance invests money in these aspects, it will inevitably affect the development speed of Shannan, I don't agree!"

Speaking of this, Yuan Chen still added meaningfully, "Mayor Zetao, have you forgotten that you were in Gulin because you were exempted from the tuition fees of primary and secondary school students in Gulin County, and finally transferred to the policy research office of the provincial government to sit on the cold bench, why haven't you learned a lesson?!" Shooting the first bird with a gun, grasping government work is not a show, and economic development is the last word......

Duan Zetao saw that Yuan Chen's old matter was brought up again, and he felt a little uncomfortable, and argued with reason: "Secretary Yuan, how can increasing investment in education be a show?!" Even now, I still think that I didn't do anything wrong back then, isn't our economic development just to improve the living standards of the people?! This is our fundamental purpose, only focusing on economic development and not paying attention to people's livelihood is to put the cart before the horse! ……”。

Yuan Chen saw that Duan Zetao was not in the limelight, and he was stubborn to the end, his face became gloomy, in fact, Duan Zetao was too strong during this time, so that he was quite jealous, especially Duan Zetao's cartoon image to promote the tourism of Xiani Ancient Town, which made him very disapproving, thinking that Duan Zetao just wanted to be in the limelight and loved to put on a show, and said unhappily: "I won't say more, but increasing investment in education and health infrastructure is a major matter, and it must be discussed and decided by the Standing Committee!" ……”。
