The wheat produced in Lujiazhuang, Nanzhuang, Beizhuang and other villages is famous all over the world for its bright round color, tough tendons and sweet taste.

In 2003, the town party committee and town *** formulated the "One, Two, Three, Four, Five" based on thorough analysis, in-depth research and comprehensive grasp. The development idea of ??revitalizing the town to enrich the people and building a moderately prosperous society is to focus on increasing farmers' income and focus on the two key points of the breeding industry, mainly dairy and animal husbandry, and the planting industry, mainly forage, medicinal materials, and fruits, to implement animal husbandry to strengthen the town and science and technology to promote agriculture. and projects drive three major strategies, build four bases for dairy livestock, pasture, medicinal materials, and fruits, and ensure that each household has one cow, one acre of fruit, one acre of garden, one person per household engages in labor outside, and one person per household masters one industry. The "Five Ones" project of practical technology. Taking the overall situation as the working idea of ??seizing the leader, building bases, developing industries, seeking development, and Fupu Village, it has formed a rapid development of livestock, animal husbandry, medicine, and fruit, with equal emphasis on the development of grain, oil, vegetables, and forestry, and the rise of various industries. The development of a new pattern has laid a solid foundation for development for the construction of animal husbandry towns, pharmaceutical towns, fruit industry towns and ecological tourism towns.

That year, the town’s gross national output value was 360 million yuan, fiscal revenue was 1.667 million yuan, farmers’ per capita net income was 1,750 yuan, and 23 million yuan was invested to complete industrial construction and transformation, town construction, dairy livestock, and medicinal materials.

Historical Stories of Boshan: The Legend of Tang Quan

In the 18th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, Tang Saier, a native of Putai, Shandong, lived in Yanshen, Yidu County. The stone unloading shed in the east of the town (today's Boshan) led the famous peasant uprising in history.

With lightning speed, the storm of uprising swept through more than a dozen states and counties including Qingzhou, Laizhou, Juzhou, Laiwu, etc., shaking the throne of the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Yongle sent Anyuan Hou Liusheng as the admiral-general commander, and the third-rank commander Liu Zhong as the deputy commander to lead the Ming Dynasty's direct troops "Jingying Army" to attack Shishipeng Village.

Faced with a powerful enemy, Tang Saier gave up Shishipengzhai and led his troops to break through to Nanyu, Shantou Town, now in Boshan District. He was preparing to leave Laiwu and go to Juxian County to meet with the important generals of the rebel army there. Dong Yangao joined forces.

Nanyu is located at the junction of Yidu and Laiwu, and the terrain is very dangerous. The peaks in the valley are winding and covered with flying clouds and fog, just like dragons dancing. For this reason, the locals also call it Jiulong Valley. There is another stone peak at the mouth of the valley, which is so abrupt and steep that it is named Yuantai. There is a mountain spring on the right below the far platform. The water is strong, clear and sweet.

When the rebels came to Nanyu, they were already exhausted due to the fierce fighting and running for days. When they saw the clear spring water, the soldiers all rushed to drink. Tang Saier and her war horse also had a hearty meal. Strangely enough, after drinking the spring water, the soldiers suddenly felt sleepy and relieved, and their energy doubled. At this moment, the capital commander Liu Zhong led the officers and soldiers to Nanyukou. Tang Saier immediately stood on the far platform and commanded the rebel army to form a formation to meet the enemy. They fought fiercely with the officers and soldiers at the mouth of the valley. Their weapons collided with each other and the sound was loud. Like thunder, light like lightning, it kills until the sky is dark and the earth is dark, making it difficult to distinguish victory from defeat. At this time, Tang Saier thought that the rebel army had no food in its belly and it was not suitable to fight for a long time. She took her sights on Liu Zhong, drew her bow and nocked an arrow, and when the bowstring rang, Liu Zhong fell off his horse. When all the officers and soldiers saw that their commander had been killed by an arrow and was still willing to fight, they ran away with their heads in arms, and even Liu Zhong's body was trampled into pulp.

Besides, the defeated army reported to Liu Sheng: "All commanded Liu Zhong to die in battle." This made the always arrogant Marquis Anyuan stagger, and he immediately led all his troops to fight towards Nanyu. , and wanted to fight to the death with Tang Saier.

When Tang Sai'er saw the menacing enemy, he thought that although his soldiers drank water from mountain springs to satisfy their hunger and had strong fighting spirit, they had been without food for three days and could no longer continue fighting.

She ordered the soldiers to quickly move to Laiwu via Qingshi Pass, but she cut off the rear alone and fought with the soldiers.

When she saw that the rebels had retreated safely, she ordered her horse to retreat. Unexpectedly, the war horse turned back too quickly, lost its front hoof again, neighed and fell to the ground, unable to get up again. Tang Saier had no choice but to abandon his horse and fight on foot, retreating to the top of the mountain while fighting.

When Liu Sheng saw it, he shouted loudly: "Capture Tang Sai'er alive, and the reward will be one hundred thousand taels of silver!" Who among the officers and soldiers would die for these one hundred thousand taels of silver? They all rushed towards Tang Sai'er and surrounded her heavily. At this moment, I saw Tang Saier stomping his left foot and shouting: "I'm going!" In an instant, the mountains collapsed and the ground cracked, strong winds rose, flying sand and rocks, the sky was dark and the ground was dark, the officers and soldiers were in a panic, unable to distinguish things from things, and they were in a panic. Collision, resulting in countless casualties.

When the wind stopped and the clouds dispersed, Tang Saier and her horse had already disappeared. I saw a big footprint that is still very eye-catching on the mountain ridge where she stamped her feet. Looking at the abrupt and steep distant platform, it looks like Tang Saier's lying war horse, raising its head and neighing towards the big footprints. Later people called it Matou Mountain.

This time Liu Sheng's campaign to suppress Tang Sai'er resulted in the loss of troops and generals and gained nothing, so he had to return to the capital with the remaining troops and defeated generals.

The story of Tang Saier’s battle between officers and soldiers in Nanyu quickly spread in the village and countryside. In order to commemorate this legendary heroine who was good at fighting, wise and brave, and eliminated harm for the people, the common people named the mountain spring where she and the rebels drank water "Tangquan". 3.

It is the political and economic center of the district. , cultural center. [Edit this paragraph] Natural resources: The territory is rich in resources and has abundant natural resources.

Proven mineral resources mainly include more than 40 types of coal, kaolin, graphite, limestone, etc. Among them, coal, kaolin, limestone, etc. have large reserves and high mining value.

Coal reserves reach 13 billion tons, mainly No. 4, 9, and 11 coal seams can be mined. The geological structure is simple, the storage is shallow, easy to mine, and the coal quality is excellent. It is a good thermal coal and is well-known. The Chinese and foreign Pingshuo Antaibao open-pit coal mine is located in this area. The total reserves of kaolin are 1.3 billion tons, of which the exploration reserves of kaolinite are 2.725 million tons, the recoverable reserves are 1.4 million tons, and the thickness is 2 meters. According to experts, such a large range of kaolinite ore bodies that can be mined independently in our province It is discovered for the first time.

All indicators meet or partially exceed the U.S. fully calcined quality standards, which has special economic development value. Except for coal and limestone, other resources have not yet been effectively developed. It has huge economic potential and broad development prospects, and is highly attractive to domestic and foreign investors.

The agricultural products mainly include famous and high-quality small grains that integrate nutrition, health care, diet therapy and intelligence. They are favored by the market and have long enjoyed a high reputation. They have been identified as the national small grain commodity base area (county) .

The power network covers the entire district, with one 110 kV substation, five 35 kV substations, and more than 1,200 kilometers of high-voltage distribution lines. Shentou Power Plant, the largest thermal power plant in North China, is 30 kilometers away from the district *** station.

[Edit this paragraph] Economic Development Agriculture The vast land resources are the natural advantages of this region. The per capita land is 26 acres, and the per capita cultivated land in rural areas is 7 acres. The rainfall is moderate and the sunshine is sufficient. Among the crops, oats, yams, gourds, buckwheat, soybeans, peas, millet and other grains are full and of high quality.

The output is abundant and it is an ideal raw material for starting the food industry and feed industry. The total land in the region is 3.49 million acres, including 1.217 million acres of cultivated land, 800,000 acres of suitable forest land, and 840,000 acres of pastoral slopes.

In recent years, the "three" (seeds, breeding livestock, and seedlings) projects have been conscientiously implemented to promote the comprehensive implementation of the three major strategies of potato, gourd, and sheep raising. The area of ??yam and gourd planting in the region has They are all stable at more than 210,000 acres, with output accounting for more than 40% of the region's total grain output. The number of sheep raised is more than 380,000, and the per capita net income from animal husbandry reaches about 550 yuan. The cultivation of agricultural leading industries has begun to take shape.

In recent years, the industry, based on the advantages of coal resources, focusing on the extension, transformation and value-added of coal resources, has made a fuss in transforming traditional industries, worked hard on the development of high-tech industries, and concentrated on the implementation of five key projects. construction. The kaolin company's selection plant with a total investment of 100 million yuan has now formed a 20,000-ton "double 90" coating-level production capacity; it plans to invest 180 million yuan in the second-phase expansion project and introduce a 70,000-ton vertical calcining kiln from the United States. By 2004 The annual production capacity reaches 100,000 tons.

It has become the largest hard kaolin production base in the world; the Luxi Coal Preparation Plant, with a total investment of 40.1 million yuan, produces 450,000 tons of raw coal annually. After asset restructuring, it has now entered normal production operation. The porous ammonium nitrate phase III project with a total investment of 93.5 million yuan has an annual production capacity of 50,000 tons. This project has been included in the "Double High and One Excellent" production adjustment project in Shanxi Province; the gangue power plant with a total investment of 510 million yuan is the first In the first phase, 2*50,000 kilowatt generating units will be constructed.
