"My plan" is to build the tallest Buddha statue in the world! - When mentioning this matter, Qu Youyi said to Ye Kai with a blushing face.
When Ye Kai heard this, he was a little surprised.
Obviously, what Chairman Qu is thinking about is not as simple as rebuilding Dongshan Temple.
To build the tallest Buddha statue in the world, how much money will be spent and how much manpower and material resources will be invested?
Although Ye Kai told Qu Youyi that he did not know much about the situation of the Tian Tan Buddha in Hong Kong, in fact this was not the case.
When Ye Kai went to Hong Kong Island, he had also seen this modern work. The Tian Tan Buddha is located on the top of Muyu Peak on Lantau Island. It is the largest open-air seated bronze statue in the world today. The height of the Buddha statue is only 1 meter, including the lotus pedestal and the base.
Yueqiang rice, also known as stew, is made of bronze pieces joined together.
About 2 kilograms of gold were added to the heavy Buddha face when pouring it, adding even more brilliance.
The shape of the Big Buddha combines the essence of Yungang and Longmen Buddha statues and the sculpture techniques of the Tang Dynasty. It is solemn and kind, sitting south and facing north, with its right hand bent and raised at chest level, with five fingers stretched out to show the fearless seal, which represents the removal of pain; the left hand is drooped on the foot, with the palm backwards
Point outwards, with the tips of your fingers pointing slightly downward, expressing the wish seal, which means giving happiness and showing great strength and compassion.
From the foot of Muyu Mountain to the base of the Temple of Heaven, there are 260 stone steps. The base is built like the round mound of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, hence the name Tiantan Buddha. The internal structure is divided into three floors: the Merit Hall, the Exhibition Hall and the Memorial Hall. The name of the donor is listed in the Merit Hall.
of stone tablets.
As for how much money was spent on the Temple of Heaven Buddha, Ye Kai didn't know, but in a place like Hong Kong Island, spending money to build such a giant Buddha is absolutely indispensable. Now Qu Youyi has gone to Hedong to rebuild Dongshan Temple, but he has not done anything with the Temple of Heaven.
Otherwise, he would not have specifically mentioned the Tian Tan Buddha and ambitiously stated that he would build the tallest Buddha statue in the world.
"If Chairman Qu says so, how much money do you plan to invest to rebuild Dongshan Temple?" Ye Kai asked curiously.
If you don't have enough funds, you want to rebuild Dongshan Temple and build the tallest Buddha statue in the world, but you can't just talk about it.
"I plan to build a Dongshan Giant Buddha..." Qu Youyi did not answer Ye Kai's question directly, but described to him how majestic and unique the Dongshan Giant Buddha will be after it is completed.
In Qu Youyi's mind, the image of the Dongshan Giant Buddha is a standing statue of Shibian Muni. It is made of bronze and is 88 meters high and weighs 800 tons. It is planned to be built in one year. At the same time, he will invest in the construction of the Brahma Palace in the Dongshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area, covering an area of 88 meters.
With an area of 10,000 square meters, it has been built into the leading Buddhist scenic spot in the east of Hedong and even in the north.
"The initial investment, together with the rebuilt Dongshan Temple, is planned to be around 200 million." After Ji Youyi promoted his plan to Ye Kai, he finally revealed a little bit of his plan.
Ye Kai probably had some impression after hearing this.
When the Tian Tan Buddha was built on Hong Kong Island, Qu Youyi did not participate in it for some unknown reason. He was very upset about this. Maybe it was for the sake of face, or maybe it was because of his dead mother’s last wish that he didn’t know was true or false, so he wanted to borrow it.
Focusing on the opportunity to build Dongshan Temple, we built such a giant Buddha that surpassed the Tian Tan Giant Buddha on Hong Kong Island and became the supreme Buddha in the country.
With this achievement, Qu Youyi's reputation among believers in Hong Kong and the Mainland will suddenly rise sharply, and he will become a big shot known to everyone.
This is much more effective than spending money on advertising or something.
While the two were talking, they saw Ye Kai's security chief Li Hai walking over in a hurry and giving Ye Kai a piece of information.
Ye Kai opened it and took a look, and immediately started to ponder.
Qu Youyi felt a little curious. He took a look and saw that Ye Kai was not blocking him. He saw the document. It was none other than an old photo of Dongshan Temple before it was destroyed.
"Mayor Ye's people are so capable of doing things!" Qu Youyi couldn't help but be shocked when he saw it.
Fu Youyi has been to the country many times. When the Longzheng Festival was in the southwest, he also cooperated with him in the past. Therefore, he has a relatively intuitive understanding of the ability of domestic officials, especially the procrastination in the domestic officialdom.
I am quite dissatisfied with my style of work.
But he didn't expect that he just mentioned the plan to rebuild Dongshan Temple, and Ye Kai's men over there sent him information about Dongshan Temple. Considering this efficiency, Qu Youyi couldn't help but express his gratitude to the young Ye Kai.
The acting mayor of Dongshan City, who was so outrageous, paid special attention to it.
Perhaps the reason why this young man is able to hold a high position is because he is indeed very capable.
"Haha, as the acting mayor of Dongshan City, I didn't even know that there was such a famous temple as Dongshan Temple in my jurisdiction. It's really derelict of my duty. If you make a mistake, you must make up for it as soon as possible. Next time
When you talk to Mr. Qu about Dongshan Temple, you won't be at a loss." Ye Kai replied nonchalantly.
Ye Kai's eyes were now focused on the old photos in the file.
Dongshan Temple, this name is really not very unusual. There are probably countless temples with this name in China. There are no less than dozens of famous ones.
The Dongshan Temple in Dongshan City, Hedong Province was founded in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty. In fact, this temple was funded by a certain royal family of the Jin Kingdom at that time, and invited a virtuous monk named Jie Neng.
As host.
Later, over hundreds of years, Dongshan Temple was destroyed and rebuilt, and rebuilt and destroyed again. It has long lost its original appearance, but the scale of the temple is getting bigger and bigger.
In the early Qing Dynasty, Emperor Shunzhi worshiped Buddhism, so this became a well-known Buddhist holy place. The incense was once very prosperous, and three altars were once held. It is even said that all the emperors of the Qing Dynasty visited this temple. There are still inscriptions from the Shunzhi period in the temple.
On the imperial monument side.
Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, this place had gradually developed into a large courtyard with four entrances and four sides, including the Main Hall, Arhat Hall, Zhaitang, Cable Room, Mill, Monk Hall, and Forest of Steles.
However, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, on the one hand, due to the disrepair, the last abbot monk was forced to leave the temple, leaving the temple unattended; on the other hand, due to the destruction of the Four Olds, the entire temple was destroyed and eventually disappeared.
live.
Today, Ye Kai can only appreciate the prosperity of Dongshan Temple from old photos taken before the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Ye Kai couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he looked through the old sites that were covered with rubble and no trace of their original appearance could be seen, as well as some chicken farms that had been simply built on the site.
Sure enough, a flower is not as red as a hundred days, and a person is not as good as a thousand days. From the continuous cycle of construction and destruction of Dongshan Temple, one can feel that things in the world are impermanent.
"Judging from the original situation of Dongshan Temple, if you want to rebuild it, it won't cost tens of millions. Mr. Qu, you want to build a square or something. Are these two hundred million really enough?" Ye Kai looked at it.
After finishing the information, he asked with some suspicion.
"It should be about the same." Qu Youyi immediately said, "Thirty million will be invested in rebuilding the temple, fifty million in the square, and the remaining one hundred and twenty million will be used to build the Dongshan Giant Buddha. It should be enough. If there is any shortage by then,
, you can invest more as appropriate, or raise money from believers at home and abroad. This is a great thing to accumulate merit, and many people will agree with it."
After hearing this, Ye Kai made a rough estimate in his mind and felt that 200 million was almost enough. If there was really a slight discrepancy, tens of millions of funds would not be a big deal to him. He could just let it go.
Any woman can do something good.
Anyway, you are right to say that joy has meaning, just think of it as accumulating merit, not a bad thing.
In principle, Ye Kai agreed to this matter. As for the details, we still have to find time to discuss them slowly.
After the two separated, Ye Kai and Mu Wanrong got together again and talked about this time.
"If the investment of 200 million yuan can be put in place, it will not be difficult to rebuild Dongshan Temple. But Ye Kai, have you ever thought about the impact of this matter?" Mu Wanrong is different from Ye Kai. In addition to considering this investment, she
The question of whether it can afford to rebuild Dongshan Temple also raised another issue.
"Oh?" Ye Kai said, turning to look at Mu Wanrong, not knowing what she was thinking of.
"Although the current national policy supports religion, the economic situation in Hedong cannot be said to be ahead of other provinces. The economic situation in Dongshan City is only above average in Hedong Province.
If you suddenly agreed to Qu Youyi's request to build such a huge Dongshan Buddha in Dongshan City, wouldn't it cause criticism from the government and the public?" Mu Wanrong pointed out this issue pointedly, "By then, those who have long disliked you will
How could people not seize this opportunity to attack you in various media?"
After hearing Mu Wanrong's words, Ye Kai couldn't help but frown, thinking that the problem she was worried about was indeed possible.
Ye Kai has never lacked opponents or enemies. It's just that he doesn't hold back. In the past, he only did the work of the Discipline Inspection Commission. It's not that easy for others to find excuses for him.
Now because of the construction of Dongshan Giant Buddha, it will definitely attract the attention of domestic and foreign media. At that time, some people will inevitably toss him about this matter and make him live in peace. Not only has he done his best, but he has to endure the infamy.
Things are thankless things.
After all, when people's lives have just improved a little, everyone will always have objections to investing so much in rebuilding temples, even though the money is privately provided.
At the very least, it will be thought that the local government has not done enough to guide public opinion and does not ask the people about ghosts and gods. This is definitely not a good thing for him, Ye Kai.
Could it be said that this matter was a conspiracy against him, Ye Kai, from beginning to end?
Thinking of this possibility, Ye Kai couldn't help but frowned.
It seems that I need to think about this matter carefully.!~!
