Pingmei Group invested 220 million yuan in No.2 well of No.8 Mine, and Zhanjiang entrepreneurs invested more than100000 yuan in latex production projects. At the same time, a number of key projects such as Xupingnan, Luopingluo Expressway and Yanshan Reservoir identified by the state and the province are under construction. The construction of these key projects will bring huge engineering investment to Ye County, and will certainly promote the rapid economic development of Ye County.

The 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward the grand goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way, which pointed out the direction for the development of county economy. Yexian county further clarified its development thinking in light of the actual situation, and clearly put forward that the overall requirements for economic development in the next five years are: around the strategic goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way, focusing on "strengthening the county by industry" and "enriching the people by animal husbandry", vigorously implementing the project-driven strategy, vigorously promoting industrialization, urbanization and agricultural industrialization, and striving to achieve economic leap-forward development. Focusing on the above general requirements, we should focus on the following tasks in the future: First, relying on the advantages of salt resources, build a well-known "Central Plains Salt Capital" in China. Give full play to the advantages of salt industry resources with a reserve of 230 billion tons, do a good job in Shenma ion-exchange membrane caustic soda and PVC resin projects, and build a 500,000-ton salt plant and Zhongyan Henan Salt Industry Logistics Distribution Co., Ltd. to ensure that it is completed and put into production as soon as possible; Strengthen contact with companies with investment intentions, such as Bohai Petrochemical, Shenzhen Petrochemical, Shanghai Petrochemical, Qilu Petrochemical and New Hope Group, and urge more salt chemical projects to settle in Yexian, and strive to build Yexian into a well-known "Salt Capital of Central Plains" through 3-5 years' efforts. At the same time, take the second well of Heping No.8 Mine of Blu-ray Power Plant as the leader, and strive to build Yexian into a new coal-fired power base; Take Liu Jia, Wei Yong and other leather shoes factories as the leading enterprises to build the largest and most influential leather shoes production base in the province; Take Sanyi, Dike, Xiyu and other enterprises and Yingkun Animal Husbandry and Food Co., Ltd., which is under construction with an investment of 65.438+0.3 billion yuan, as the leader to build the largest and most influential Muslim beef and mutton processing base in the province; With Longfeng, Shumin and other agricultural tricycle factories as the leader, the largest agricultural machinery production base in the province will be built; Take Yu Ye Flour Factory and Yongchang Food Factory as leading enterprises to build the largest and most influential grain deep processing base in the city; Take Jiayi Industry and Trade, Dongjia Environmental Protection Electrical Appliances and other enterprises as leading enterprises, and build the largest mechanical and electrical parts processing base in the city. Second, relying on the advantages of animal husbandry to build a production base for agricultural products. As one of the top 100 animal husbandry counties in China, Ye County should insist on animal husbandry as the breakthrough of agricultural structure adjustment. It is necessary to strengthen the cultivation of leading enterprises in the production and processing of livestock products, such as "Dike" and "Sanyi", promote the rapid development of the three major livestock products, and strive to achieve the goals of dairy cows 1 head per household, 2 pigs per capita and sheep 1 head in two to three years, and increase the proportion of animal husbandry output value to the total agricultural output value by 3 percentage points. We will unremittingly do a good job in vegetable planting in northern towns and villages, vigorously develop deep processing projects such as characteristic pollution-free vegetables and dehydrated vegetables, and strive to build Yexian into the largest pollution-free vegetable planting base and dehydrated vegetable deep processing base in the city. Third, relying on the advantages of cultural resources, building a "historical and cultural city" depends on the profound advantages of Ye County's cultural heritage, making great efforts to speed up the restoration and arrangement of historical sites, do a good job in the comprehensive development of tourism resources, and carry forward the unique historical and cultural features of Ye County. Focus on the construction of new urban areas, taking into account the transformation of old areas and the improvement of urban functions. The new city should speed up the relocation of the old city organs and start the construction of workers' cultural palace, cultural activity center and sports center. The old city should comprehensively grasp the key municipal projects such as the restoration of Confucian temples, the transformation of urban power grid and water supply network, and comprehensively improve the city's taste. Adhere to both construction and management, focus on managing messy and disorderly construction, strengthen urban management, and strive for a provincial civilized and sanitary county. To speed up the development of small towns, the five established towns should speed up the construction of small towns, accelerate the development of secondary and tertiary industries, continuously enhance the ability to absorb and gather population, and strive to improve the level of urbanization. Fourth, relying on environmental advantages, we will constantly enhance the development vitality and image charm of Ye County. Persistently do a good job in the image education of the whole people, and enhance the concept that the image of Yexian is related to people and personnel, and everyone is an investment environment. We must dare to break the rules and regulations, strictly implement the preferential policies formulated by the county party Committee and the county government to encourage investment, and truly benefit business. In strict accordance with the requirements of the Administrative Licensing Law, we will intensify the reform of the administrative examination and approval system and further improve the five systems of "one-stop" service, charge card, service commitment, environmental assessment and accountability. It is necessary to carry out in-depth centralized rectification activities to optimize the enterprise environment, set the economic "1 10" for a long time, and severely investigate and deal with the "four chaos" of enterprises and the "three chaos" of highways. Through unremitting efforts, we will further create a public opinion environment that promotes development, a relaxed and enlightened policy environment, a clean and efficient service environment, and a fair and strict legal environment in the county.

[Edit this paragraph] Historical humanities

Yexian county has a long history and splendid culture. Shang and Zhou Dynasties were once the capital of England, and Spring and Autumn Period was the important town of bei chu. In 576 BC, the capital was moved to Ye, and in 524 BC, Ye County was the county seat of the Ming Dynasty. Chu moved the capital to the west and was named Ye. The water conservancy project (North) built by Ye Gong during the leaf treatment period still exists today. From 489 BC to Ye Ye, Confucius traveled around the world, leaving many relics in Yexian County. Yexian County is located at the intersection of North and South cultures, and there are more than 10 Yangshao cultural sites in China. Yexian County is located in Yunnan-Guizhou, Nantong, with Youyan in the north, which is a battleground for military strategists in past dynasties. There are more than 0/0 sites of ancient cities in China, including Wang Ba, dingnan county, Ye Yi Ancient City, Hu Ba, Rufen County and Hongyang County. At the same time, there are also places of interest such as Yegongwen Administration Office, Yeling Cemetery, Shimen Mountain, Laoxian Ya, Confucian Temple, Lihe Bridge and Kunyang Ancient Battlefield. Now the cultural attraction "Yegong Cemetery" has been restored. Every year, descendants of Shi Ye at home and abroad go to Ye County to seek roots and worship their ancestors. The newly-built "Yegong Cultural Tourism Zone" is stepping up construction, and the governance of moat and the development of a street in Ming Dynasty are also being implemented. Celebrities such as Li Bai, Su Xun, Su Shi, Su Zhe, Ouyang Xiu, Fan Zhongyan and Yu Qian all left many precious poems and relics. The twelve questions of You Lanfu written by Huang Tingjian, one of the four great calligraphers in Song Dynasty, preserved by Yexian Cultural Bureau are unique in China. There are many celebrities in Yexian County with picturesque scenery. The ancients once praised the beauty of Yexian County with the poem "Castle Peak does not draw for a thousand years, Lishui has no strings".

Ye county was the land of Yuzhou in ancient times, and Zhou was the country to stay. It belonged to Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period. In 524 BC, Chu and Ye Yi sealed Shen Zhuliang, which was called "Ye Gong" in history. Is the ancestor of the Ye family at home and abroad. Confucius traveled around the world, praised Ye and asked about politics, leaving behind an eternal story that "those who are near are happy, those who are far away come". There are Yangshao Cultural Site, South China Cultural Site (Jichang) in the west of Zhou Wenwang, and historical sites in Qin and Han Dynasties, such as Wang Ba City (built by Xiang Yu) and Wang Xiaocheng (built by Emperor Guangwu). At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the famous battle of Kunyang took place here. Yexian County is the only county government in China in the Ming Dynasty. She and the ancient city of Ye Yi are listed as national key cultural relics protection units. Yexian Department and Yegong Cemetery were also selected as "Eight Scenes Outside the Eagle City" in Pingdingshan City. Many historical celebrities passed by here, and many celebrities, such as Li Bai, Su Xun, Su Shi, Su Zhe, Ouyang Xiu, Fan Zhongyan and Yu Qian, left many precious poems and relics. The twelve stone carvings of You, one of the four great calligraphers in the Song Dynasty, collected by Yexian Ya Museum, are magnificent and interesting, giving people endless artistic enjoyment.

Thick historical and cultural accumulation and beautiful natural scenery add infinite charm to the ancient city of Kunyang. The ancients once praised the beauty of Yexian County with the poem "Castle Peak does not draw for a thousand years, Lishui has no strings". Strolling through Lishui is the elegant artistic conception of Tang poetry and Song poetry. Kunyang is a rolling historical cloud. The county government of the Ming Dynasty is unique, and the towering tomb of Ye Gong indicates the future. The antique old streets in the Ming Dynasty are full of strength, and the flowing orchids are given a westward journey; The Dacheng Hall with cornices and arches is magnificent, the Wenchang Pavilion with carved beams and painted buildings is simple and elegant, and the corner pavilion is exquisite. The lifelike Wangfu Stone Festival emphasizes integrity. The west water of Tangshan, far away from the hubbub, is deep and graceful. The ruins of the ancient bridge eroded by wind and rain are mottled and heavy. The Millennium ginkgo trees that cover the sky are full of vitality. The Jinggang Bamboo Garden, where the southern bamboo moves northward, is inspiring, and the misty and rainy Shahe River is picturesque ... The pearl-rock-like landscapes are scattered in the colorful jade plates of Yexian County, dazzling and charming.

Yegong culture

Shen and Shen are all tall. He was a famous politician, strategist and thinker in the Spring and Autumn Period. In 524 BC, he was named Ye, so he was named because Chu Guojun was a public servant. Ye Gong is the ancestor of Chinese surnamed Ye in the world and the first chief executive of Ye Di since written records in China history.

During the period of killing leaves, Ye Gong vigorously built water conservancy and persuaded farmers to plant mulberry. People build things that Pierre can irrigate hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland. Yexian government is one of the earliest water conservancy projects in the history of China, which has greatly promoted the economic development of Yedi.

In 489 BC, when Confucius led his disciples around the world, he made a special trip to Yedi to visit Ye Gong, hoping to be reused by Ye Gong. During his reign, Confucius repeatedly talked about the way of governing the country and praised the experience of governing the country as "those who are near are happy, and those who are far away come."

Ye Gong and Confucius discussed what is the standard of loyalty. Ye Gong said: "Our party is straight, and its father is busy with sheep, as evidenced by his son." Confucius disapprovingly said: "The straightness of our Party is different, the father is a hidden son, and the son is a hidden father, which is straight in it.

Because Ye Gong had doubts about Confucius' theory, one day he asked his disciple Lutz about Confucius' character. Lutz didn't answer. When Confucius learned of this, he blamed Luz, saying, "Your Xi is wrong:' He is a human being who forgets food in anger and worries in joy, but he doesn't know that his old age is coming.'"

Due to different viewpoints, Confucius' trip to Ye Yi did not achieve the expected results. So he came back from Ye Bei soon. Confucius' disciples were greatly dissatisfied. Later, some Confucian scholars invented the fable "Ye Gong Long Hao" by borrowing the story that Ye Gong liked to draw dragons, and called Ye Gong a hypocrite.

In 479 BC, Ye Gong was nearly eighty years old. At that time, Bai, an important official living in the border, launched a rebellion in the capital of Chu, killed Ling Zixi and Sima, and hijacked independence. After hearing the news, Ye Gong, regardless of his age, resolutely sent troops to counter the rebellion and made contributions to the country.

Ye Gong welcomed Hui Wang back for pacifying the rebellion of Bai Gong's victory, and his official position was to make Yin, Sima, military and political integration. However, after pacifying the frontier and purifying the state affairs, he gave way to others and returned to Ye Yi, where he was old.

When Ye Gong died, he left his last words: "Don't defeat a great project with a small plan, and don't punish a scholar, a doctor and a noble scholar with the royal family." It still has important practical significance.

Ye Gong's lifelong actions expressed his love for the people and loyalty to the country, and won the admiration of the world. According to the Zhou Li, after Ye Gong's death, he was set up to enjoy sacrifices.

Ye Gong Descendants

"World Leaf Club" belonged to the State of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period and was called "Ye Yi". In 524 BC, Chu was given the surname, which was known in history as a famous politician, strategist and descendant of Sima. Ye family originated from this, and Yexian became the ancestral home of Shen and Ye family in the world. The cemetery located in this county is the mausoleum of Ye's ancestors. Since the first World Yip's Friendship Association was held in Yexian in 2000, Yip's descendants from all over the world have come to Yexian to seek roots, ask ancestors and exchange friendship.

10 The first statue was officially unveiled in Yegong Cemetery, Laoxian Township, Yexian County from June 1 June1day to June 14.

10 The second session was grandly opened in the east section of Wenhua Road 10- 13. * * * More than 500 descendants formed a 3 1 delegation and gathered in Ye County, their ancestral home.

The third session was held in Pingdingshan Convention and Exhibition Center from May 15 to May 18. 1200 people and 46 delegations attended the opening ceremony.
