Chapter 705 Farewell
Even though Lanzhou's quarterly fiscal revenue has increased several times compared to before, it may be because Meng was afraid of being poor in previous years, which has always given Lu Sheng a stingy feeling.
As the prefect of a state, he took a breath of air conditioning just 500,000 taels.
Well...good official!
Looking at Meng's warm eyes in previous years, Lu Sheng couldn't bear to refuse. Five hundred thousand taels were not much for Lanzhou, but it was more than a sky to build a Saint's church. Five hundred thousand taels could be developed in Lanzhou with a villa community that accommodates 300 households.
"I dare ask Miss Jiang, are you planning to build the Saint Church for commercial purposes or..."
"I have this plan because of my yearning for the saints since I was a child. After the Saint Church is completed, all believers who believe in the saints will come to pray and pray."
"That's it... Then I can authorize it to you at a price of 300 taels per acre, but the church's design drawings need to be sent to Xuantian Mansion for review, and the free review can only be completed before construction will be built."
"I don't have a design drawing!" Miss Jiang said lightly with a cold face.
“Where is the idea?”
"No!"
"What kind of thing is going to be built?"
“No idea, either.”
Lu Sheng looked at the exquisite beauty in front of him in surprise, but he kept telling jokes seriously. If you want to build a house, you must look like a house, right? You don’t even have a concept?
Seeing Miss Jiang's unreliable appearance, Meng Xiannian is now a little suspicious of the 500,000 taels she said. Could it be that she was here to make fun of us?
Thinking of this, Meng Qiannian was a little hesitant, "Miss Jiang, then, what can you have to build... Saint Church?"
"I have money!"
"This reason is very powerful! What business does the Miss Jiang family do in the Glorious Empire? Do you have no subordinates who can be responsible for the Saint Church project?"
"Our family is engaged in gem production in the Empire of Glory. There are servants in the construction category, but I did not bring them back this time. My family will leave and return in about a month, so I hope to build the Saint Church within a month."
"One month?" Meng Xiannian said in surprise, "You have nothing. You want to build a Saint Church covering an area of 30 acres in one month? This...is unlikely?"
"I have money!" Miss Jiang seemed to have a superstition about money, "I know there is a saying in China that money can make the devil push the mill."
"Okay!" Lu Sheng said casually, "In this way, your Holy Maiden Temple can be used as an official project, and the prefect will take the lead in building it for you. From design to completion, a month is not bad, but the time has been reduced by three times, and its cost..."
"I'll pay 800,000 taels." Miss Jiang raised the price again without any doubt. "What do you think Meng Taishou thinks?"
"There is plenty of time. If you pay one million taels, you can get out in twenty days." Meng Qiannian stood up and shouted with a full face.
Where is moral integrity?
The price is 800,000 taels, not to mention the Saint Church covering an area of 30 acres, it is more than enough even if it covers an area of 300 acres. Isn’t it just stone? Isn’t it just artificial?
A normal construction team will directly invite ten people, five during the day and five at night to take turns to dry. There are ready-made stones and quarries. The steam engine invented by Lu Sheng has successfully developed a steam crane. As long as there are manpower and materials, it is not difficult for a month.
After all, it is not about building a high-rise building, what superb construction technology is required. In addition, there is a catalyst like martial arts in this era, a month is not a miracle at all.
"Since that's the case..." Miss Jiang stood up slowly, "I will order someone to send the money in a while."
After Miss Jiang left, Lu Sheng also said goodbye and left. One day, Lu Sheng came home from get off work and just walked into the yard to find that the exquisite little girl had not left, and Xiaonan and Qingxuan Taoist seemed to be waiting for their own appearance.
"Brother Sheng, you are back. Senior Qingxuan wants to accept Xiaowan as his apprentice, but fortunately I stopped him. Brother Sheng, look at what Xiaowan's qualifications are? Why don't you accept an apprentice?"
"I have seen the spiritual jade body this morning." Lu Sheng said carelessly, making Taoist Qingxuan on the side very nervous.
"Taoist Qingxuan wants to accept his disciples?"
"Not bad! I wasted my time, and I am afraid that there will be no hope of breaking through extraordinary things in this life. I have traveled through the world for the rest of my life. Although Dai Shi's sect travels all over the world, I have been looking for a talent that can be created to pass on my bride.
When I saw this child today, I became interested in accepting disciples. If Lord Lu had no intention of accepting disciples, I would like to be grateful for the beauty of Lord Lu as an adult."
"You shouldn't ask me about the beauty of adults, right?" Lu Sheng was a little confused, "Don't you tell her family?"
"Don't Lord Lu fight with me?"
"I have not yet thought of accepting disciples, and I will not teach disciples."
"Hahaha..." Taoist Qingxuan suddenly laughed to the sky, glared at Xiaonan who had been guarding him for a day, and then showed a fox-like smile and said softly to Dong Xiaowan, "Xiaowan, go, take me to see your father."
"Senior... I'll leave with you if I become your apprentice? Then... can I still be with Sister Xiaonan?"
"Yes, yes, you don't have to follow me, you can follow you..."
"Amitabha... can't stand it anymore!" Fayin shivered immediately, "It's so cheap!"
"Bald donkey, you broke the precept."
"No!"
"You are jealous."
“…”
Taoist Qingxuan took Dong Xiaowan away from Lu Sheng's house to negotiate with her parents in a playful manner. The difficulty was not taken seriously by Taoist Qingxuan at all. As long as he took the name of the sacred land of the Taoist Xuanzong, Dong Xiaowan's parents would probably invite Dong Xiaowan out as a Bodhisattva.
After returning to the backyard and washing his face, Xiaonan followed in a little unhappy, "Brother Sheng, I heard that the psychic jade body qualification is unprecedented and there is no one to come."
"It's not that exaggerated. So what if it's the legendary system? Good or bad qualifications can only be the absolute starting point but cannot determine its end point.
If you look at a person's achievements, just his qualifications, then you, Brother Sheng, don't have to mess around. Brother Sheng's qualifications and insights are at the bottom."
Xiaonan rolled her eyes speechlessly. She was already used to listening to these words anyway.
"Brother Sheng, are you not planning to accept an apprentice? All the masters of the Dao Realm will find a inheritor for themselves. You are the number one master in China and the extraordinary master who enters the holy realm. Isn't it a pity that you have such a rough jade taken away in front of you...?"
"Who said I don't have a inheritor?" Lu Sheng looked at Xiao Nan in surprise.
"Is that? Who?"
"Aren't you?" Lu Sheng's face turned dark, "Okay, I have learned so much martial arts. It turns out that in your heart, I am not even half a master? I won't teach you next time, I'll be ungrateful!"
"Ah?" Xiaonan's face turned pale slightly, but it turned red in an instant. "Aren't you fucking your sister?... Be your apprentice and yourselves shorter for a lifetime..."
"Xianyun is my younger brother, you are still his disciple. You are a generation shorter than me." Lu Sheng replied angrily.
"Oh..." Xiaonan looked at Lu Sheng's face and looked a little ugly. He quickly picked up the teapot from the table and poured a cup of tea, "Brother Sheng, don't be angry. In fact, in Xiaonan's heart, you are my master.
The master is the master, the old man Tianchi is the master, and Brother Sheng is also the master. I, Xiaonan, was so lucky that I was able to be carefully taught and trained by the three generations of masters. If I cannot make a name for myself, I will be embarrassed."
"Just know!" Lu Sheng then took a sip with satisfaction.
"After drinking my apprenticeship tea, should Brother Sheng pass on my unique skills to me?"
"Puff--" Lu Sheng squirted out a mouthful of tea.
"No!"
"You've drunk all the tea!"
"I didn't drink, I vomited."
"Brother Sheng, I will rub your shoulders for you!" Xiaonan quickly turned behind Lu Sheng with a flattering smile, "Brother Sheng, I am only one opportunity away from breaking through the Dao Realm. Sister Yu Linglong teaches me my mental method every day, and it is only a few days before breaking through the Dao Realm..."
"What?" Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes. Xiao Nan's technique was good. It seemed that he had practiced a lot.
"What you told me last time. When I reach the Dao Realm, I will pass on my powerful martial arts. Wan Jian Returns to the Sect, and the Heavenly Dao is invincible..."
"Wait, did I promise so much?"
"Anyway, you agreed! Now you are about to go back to Chuzhou. You can't break your promise, right? Otherwise, pass it to me now?"
"If you don't have enough cultivation, it will hurt your body if you are strong."
"I promise, I promise to remember it in my mind and practice it after breaking through the Dao realm."
"ensure?"
“Yes, guaranteed!”
"Your promise is the same as Dahuang as he promised me not to eat shit."
"Crack--" A crisp sound was heard. Xiao Nan rubbed his shoulders and used a hand that divided the tendons and bones!
The master of the Xuanzong of Daoting did not come. He agreed to wait for ten days, but he waited for more than half a month but didn't wait. However, Lu Sheng was not in a hurry, and the woman in white did not show up again.
For more than half a month, the entire Lanzhou has been filled with the topic of the Saint Maiden Temple by the Star Sea. Even the people living by the Star Sea will go to see how the Saint Maiden Temple is progressing if you have any problems.
Almost every day, it is earth-shaking every three days. The Saint Church, which covers an area of 30 acres, rises up. In order to conform to the aesthetic style of the Glorious Empire, Manager Wu also specially referred to the Saint Church designed in the Western Region style.
Another seven or eight days passed, and the majestic Saint Church entered the final stage. I heard from my subordinates that the statues of the Saint Church were extremely exquisite, elegant, luxurious but beautiful. They were carved from a whole piece of white jade, and were more than three meters tall.
This is an exaggeration. This piece of white marble was bought by Manager Wu for 10,000 taels, and it was the finishing touch of the entire Saint Church. If it were pure white jade three feet tall, would there be such a big thing in the world?
In order to protect Xiaonan's safety, Lu Sheng was nailed to Xining City like a nail. Sometimes, even if he went out, he would have to take Xiaonan with him. Of course, wherever Xiaonan went, Dong Wan'er, the follower, would follow him.
The Holy Maiden Temple is making interior decorations, but the interior decoration people are not arranged by the prefect’s office. They are the decoration team invited by Ms. Jiang himself, and they also spend a lot of money. For Lanzhou, the more people return home, the better.
"Brother Sheng, I'm hungry!" After visiting the Saint Church, Lu Sheng and Xiao Nan came to an amusement park less than three miles away from the church. Since the ceremony was held to recruit brides, the place has not been idle.
It has become a pioneer supply station for Lanzhou's tourism industry, and has a series of entertainment summary such as food city and opera academy. It is convenient to transport and has more than a dozen mineral areas nearby, and is close to the Star Coast, so its popularity has always been good.
"What do you want to eat?"
"Look, there is a big chicken in front of you... Brother Sheng, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Sheng looked into the void for a long time and turned back silently, "It's okay!"
Chapter completed!
