Zhang Wen's name

After handling the signing issues, Zhang Wen continued his work. He discovered that Jingzhou had 11 districts, and the wealth gap was outrageous. Guangming District had an annual fiscal revenue of around 30 billion yuan, while Gaochun District only had an annual fiscal revenue of 3 billion yuan. Was this reasonable? It was almost a tenfold difference. It seemed he needed to conduct an investigation at the grassroots level.

The next day, Zhang Wen, accompanied by his secretary Huang Shan, driver Wang Hu, and several security personnel, drove to Gaochun District. Zhang Wen carefully studied the information about Gaochun District and discovered that Gaochun District, as the southern gateway and ecological conservation area of ​​Jingzhou, had a development path that was significantly different from that of the main urban area and other industrial powerhouses.

Zhang Wen recalled that Gaochun District was upgraded from a county to a district this year, and most of its income still comes from high-end green agriculture, such as the famous Guhu hairy crabs. Zhang Wen also checked and found that Jingzhou only has two subway lines, connecting only a limited number of industrial strong districts such as Guangming District and the New Development Zone. It seems that the other nine districts can only rely on highways, which are too slow.

"Is Huangshan almost at the district government?"

"Yes, Governor Zhang, we'll be in the district soon."

"Huangshan, inform their district party secretary and district head that they will be joining us for a field investigation in the villages below."

"Yes, Governor Zhang," Huang Shan replied, and then made the call to inform him.

Twenty minutes later, the bus finally arrived at Gaochun District. At the entrance of the district government, the district party secretary and the district head were already waiting. Zhang Wen did not get off the bus but directly called the two cadres onto the bus to report on their work.

"Secretary Xiao, District Chief Huang, please sit down. I'd like to ask you a few questions about work."

Secretary Xiao and District Chief Huang hurriedly said, "Okay, Governor Zhang, go ahead and ask."

"I discovered that our Gaochun District's fiscal revenue is only 300 billion yuan a year, while Guangming District is almost 30 billion yuan. What's going on?"

"Governor Zhang, I want to apologize to you. We all know what's going on. The province's plan for us is to develop green and ecological industries. We also want to develop industry, but the conditions don't allow it. Guhu Lake here is the water source for Jingzhou. As long as we develop traditional industries, we will cross the red line. Over time, all traditional industries will stop investing here."

Upon hearing their report, Zhang Wen also fell into thought. This was indeed a big problem. Gaochun District had a special geographical location and was also the water source of Jingzhou. Developing traditional industries would cross the red line.

"Secretary Xiao, District Chief Huang, let's go down to the villages and do some on-site investigation to see if there are any other problems. If there are, we'll solve them."

Half an hour later, Zhang Wen and his group arrived at the Chenghu hairy crab breeding base. Zhang Wen looked at the hairy crabs they had caught; each one had a standard appearance—green shell, white belly, golden claws, and yellow hair. They felt heavy in his hands, full of vitality, clearly having grown up in flowing water rich in aquatic plants, feeding on natural bait. Since it was only August, and the hairy crabs weren't yet at their best, Zhang Wen had them released back into the wild after inspecting them.

After visiting the hairy crab breeding base, Zhang Wen also toured the freshwater fish and shrimp breeding bases, all of which follow green farming practices.

"Secretary Xiao, District Chief Huang, your products are all very good. Why do I see that most of the crabs on the market are Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs, but not many people know about your farmed Guhu hairy crabs? Are you having any difficulties? Tell me and I'll give you some advice."

"Okay, Governor Zhang, this year our Gaochun District launched the (Slow City Brand) to promote the development of healthy, green and pollution-free agricultural products, with hairy crabs as the leading product, and promoted the cooperative model of 'cooperative + farmers'. It's just starting out and doesn't have much of a reputation yet, so you can't see our Guhu hairy crabs on the market."

"Secretary Xiao, District Chief Huang, your model is excellent. This area is a national-level freshwater ecological protection zone, right? You can use labels like 'National Geographical Indication Protected Product' and 'National Mitten Crab Brand' for packaging. All hairy crabs sold on the market must adhere to unified standards, with the government mandating prices to prevent malicious competition."

"Governor Zhang, your suggestion is good. Our government wants to apply to hold a crab festival. Could you ask the provincial publicity department to help us promote it?"

"No problem, you can submit the report and I'll talk to the publicity department. Transportation isn't very convenient right now, so at most, they might come from Jingzhou city proper or a city not far from you. You need to be prepared. I'm also helping you contact Taotao.com so you can sell goods both online and offline. Also, we must control the quality of our products. We can't let this quality issue ruin the reputation of our Guhu hairy crabs."

"As a form of support, our government will purchase your hairy crabs as part of our Mid-Autumn Festival benefits this year. Secretary Xiao and District Chief Huang, your approach is correct. You must not be impatient for quick success and instant benefits, but strive to make Guhu hairy crabs as well-known as Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs."

"Yes, Governor Zhang."
