Speaking of which, Xijiang is a good place, and every city here has its own characteristics.》.[]

For example, the provincial capital Ulu Muqi has abundant mineral resources underground, such as oil and coal; Hami area has Hami melons; Turpan has grapes; Hotan has jade; Shache has Badanmu; Korla has fragrant pears; Karamay has Gobi jade, etc.

As long as these things are operated well, they can make a city soar into the sky.

Needless to mention the oil and coal mines in Ulu Muqi, it is like a rich child who can get money as long as he sits at home.

However, places like Hami or Turpan require the ruling people to work hard and work hard. Although the things in these places have long been famous all over the world, the supporting facilities have not yet been kept up. For example, Hami melons, more and more people are planting Hami melons, which has caused the price of Hami melons to be lower and sometimes lead to unsalable sales. Although the local government has already found ways to join forces with other cities to sell Hami melons, it is far from enough.

Can you only eat Hami melon as fresh fruit?

impossible.

Like grapefruit peel, winter melon, and sour jujube can be made into candied fruit, why candied melon? It can not only be made into candied fruit, but also into fillings. Hami melon has a natural sweetness, and it should be good to make fillings. With Hami melon filling, you can make it into pies with a unique flavor in Hami region and other things sold throughout the country. This alone is enough to allow Hami to develop an industrial chain. What's more, Hami is not just Hami melon.

And so on, other cities can also rely on local resources to develop things with local characteristics.

However, most of the officials in the government are eager for immediate profits, as if they are developing these things to show their own means. They cannot accumulate achievements in promotion and wealth, and they can only demolish houses and fill in the land and build houses, causing public resentment.

When the people are persecuted by the local government, they will not only blame the local government, they will blame the country.

The central government’s policies are good, but when they go to local governments, they are often beyond recognition.

For example, the shanty town renovation introduced by the central government has the original intention of being good. I pity those people who are unable to build houses and live in tiled houses and let them live in stairs. But it is different when they arrive at the place. After they get the policy of shanty town renovation, they begin to prohibit people from building houses, then demolish their houses and force them to move into buildings.

Why can’t we plan a piece of land for the people to build it themselves? Why do we have to live in a low building?

Now who doesn’t have much money, if you build it yourself, it’s okay to build two or three floors. And it’s a room that is tall, rather than a meat pie room that is more than two meters low on dozens of floors.

But the local government just doesn't let you build it, and it will be removed as soon as it is covered. At the end, it even says that you are illegally building, which makes you so angry that you vomit blood. Public grievances arise from this.

Yes! He can't let you build a house, otherwise who will buy the house built by a real estate company? He can't plan the land for you because he has to sell it for money. This phenomenon can be said to be a collusion between officials and real estate companies and plundering people's wealth. In the old days, it was a beheading and raiding family. But now, even if it is too much, I have never heard of any official being shot because of this or that.

Why do there are so many contradictions in the current society? In fact, it is all the inactions of the ruling people, rather than the treacherous people.

Therefore, there is no bad thing in this country, only the rulers who do not act.

A place that is poor for a while can be said to be a problem for this place; if it is poor for a lifetime, it is a problem for the ruling.

Western Xinjiang is indeed a good place, not only the world's famous fruits and vegetables, but also the world's famous beautiful jade. The jade in Western Xinjiang is not only Hetian jade, but also a very special jade called Gobi jade.

There is a city called Karamay about 100 kilometers northwest of Karamay. There is a very strange place. The winds are raging all year round, and at the highest point, at level 10 to 12. The strong wind blows the stones here in all directions, so everyone calls this place Devil City, also known as Urhe Wind City. The locals and Mongolians call this city "Surumuhak" and Uyghurs "Shayitankelssi".

The Devil City is about 5 kilometers long and wide, and the radius is about 10 square kilometers.

According to investigations, during the Baiji period about 100 million years ago, this was a huge freshwater lake. Lush plants grew on the lakeshore, and Urho Stegosaurus, Pleurosaurus, Dinosaurs, Junggar Pterodes and other ancient animals were inhabited and reproduced in the water. It was like a "paragraph" for aquatic races to gather. Later, after two major crust changes, the lake became a land vast sea with sandstone and mud slates. It was called the "Gobi Platform" geologically.

The uneven Gobi Desert in the Devil City is covered with various stones such as blood red, blue, white, orange and yellow left after the strong wind. They are like witches' beads, adding a little mysterious color to this Gobi Desert.

Some people call this kind of stone Urhe Colored Stone, and some people call it Gobi Jade.

This kind of thing is not worth much. In the past, locals used it to build roads, which cost dozens of dollars per cubic meter per shovel. However, if you want to buy a good-quality 300-500 grams of jade market in second- and third-tier cities as a specimen or play with it, it will cost 50-100 yuan.

This situation continued until 2003, and it seemed that its price soared several times overnight.

Driven by interests, people from all over the country came here to pick jade. It is said that at the peak, there was a spectacular scene of 100,000 people picking jade on the Gobi Desert. There were many people picking jade, so the Gobi jade on the Gobi Desert naturally decreased gradually. Scarcity is the most expensive, so the price of Gobi jade naturally increased.

There are several types of Gobi jade, and the most advanced one is the gold silk jade with gem light.

Before 2003, the price of this jade was only about 10 yuan, but now, 1 gram can be sold for 10,000 yuan. Even the most common type of gold silk jade in the past, a gram cost 500 yuan, while in 2003, the price of 1 gram was only 1 yuan.

Because the price of Gobi jade has risen, the herdsmen near Karamay's "Devil City" began to pick up stones and make a fortune like people in Hotan. Now, "picking stones" has become a very important industry in the local area.

The local government is also a thief. Seeing this situation, it set out a large area of ​​land on the Gobi Desert to make a park, selling tickets for tourists to go in and pick up stones.

Things like this that can both make people play and increase taxes for themselves are a good decision.

Not only that, the local government also named Karamay "China's Golden Silk Jade City", and even contacted jade carving masters and jade carving factories in Yangcheng, Shencheng, Yangzhou, Fujian Province and other places to create artistic creation of golden silk jade, so that the high-end variety of golden silk jade, which emits gem light, becomes a luxury in international jewelry.

It has to be said that local government officials are all sharp-headed. It is amazing to be able to operate the originally useless stones on the Gobi Desert to this extent. Only those who rule like this can be called people with achievements.

In fact, these jades, which are called gem light by the people of Western Xinjiang, are not jade, but some pebbles of quartzite or crystal rock, which are unique products of Gobi wind erosion.

This Gobi pebbles are round in shape, large in size, smooth in stone skin, jade texture, and strong ornamentality, but they are not real jade. Although they are also good craft processing materials, there are also fine products among them. However, quartzite is highly brittle, hard, and has strong light transmission. It lacks the solemnity, mellowness and warmth of jade.

It can be said that Gobi pebbles and other rock crystals are both quartz silica components, which are less transparent and pure than crystals, less unimaginable ribbons than agate, and less dazzling flashes than cutting and polishing.

Anyone who has played with jade knows that jade becomes more and more beautiful as it is. After a lifetime of plate, jade will accompany you to grow for the rest of your life. This is commonly known as "people raise jade, jade raises people."

But you will know how old the Gobi pebble looks as soon as it is born. This is the difference between the two!

Akibig also contracted a river beach to find jade on the edge of the Kashgar River in Yulong. When he was driving by, he went to take a look. The worker who was looking for jade took some of the jade he found for him. They were all small materials, but it was rare that there were two pieces of seed materials, which weighed about twenty grams. Just the commission for these two pieces of seed materials, the money obtained by the worker looking for jade was almost the sum of the salary of white-collar workers who were wandering in the bustling city for several months. This is no wonder that so many people were crazy about finding jade.
