Chapter 133: Recruiting disciples to guard against thieves
The main project of the world-renowned view has been completed, and all the rest are decorations.
This is because the glutinous rice problem was solved immediately as soon as the project was transferred to Zhang Tianci, and it is also because the Ministry of Works, under the will of Jiajing, tried hard to provide various conveniences, fearing that it would take the blame.
The most important thing is that this job is not done by Zhang Tianci’s Tianci’s creation family, but by gathering more than a dozen construction teams in the capital to do it together, and the construction period must be fast.
At the same time, it also fulfilled Zhang Tianci’s promise during his campaign: everyone can make money!
As for what Zhang Tianci promised to go out for everyone to test his words, no one has come to Xiao Feng to collect debts.
On the one hand, Xiao Feng took over the prince's case, and no one would be so blind to trouble Xiao Feng at this time; on the other hand, they also felt that they had not reached the critical moment of life and death, so they had to keep this privilege for the time being.
Zhenren Xiao owed me a word! I said this twice in the middle of the night, and I felt much more at ease.
According to Xiao Feng's instructions, Tianci Construction first renovated a row of dormitories and halls, and was not in a hurry for other houses and side halls.
Zhang Tianci did not dare to neglect, so he asked Lu Pingshan to personally take charge of the decoration of the hall and dormitory. According to Xiao Feng's meaning, the decoration style of the dormitory is based on the design of the Xiao Mansion, especially the sanitation system and the drainage system, which must be done well.
After finishing the dormitory, Xiao Feng went to see Jiajing.
"Senior Brother, my main project of the world-wide view has been completed. I want to ask my senior brother to take a look. First, it is to relax, and second, it is the leader of the Taoist sect, so I should go and bring up the plaque."
Jiajing nodded with a smile. This worldly view is Xiao Feng's preaching foundation, and Xiao Feng's preaching is to lay the foundation for Jiajing's cultivation of immortals, so of course he must care.
Besides, he did not forget that he had received 250,000 taels of silver for nothing because of his worldly vision. He had to care about both public and private matters.
So on the day of the Little New Year, the wind was so beautiful that Jiajing took Huang Jin and Lu Bing and set off with Xiao Feng.
Not far from the city gate, just five miles east of the city, a seemingly ordinary Taoist temple has been built. Because the decoration has not yet been carried out, it looks gray and inconspicuous.
But when Jiajing walked up to him, he saw that the Taoist temple had a large area, many houses, high and thick walls, and there were horse roads and women's walls.
It seems that this is not just a Taoist temple, but a small fortress.
Jiajing remembered what Xiao Feng said back then that the Taoist temple could be permanently stationed in 500 Taoist people and could also accommodate troops and people. If bandits attacked outside the city, they could protect the nearby people and wait for the officers and soldiers to rescue them.
If an army attacks the capital, it can also serve as a warning function, just like a nail that has to be pulled, forming a horn with the capital.
Jiajing nodded and walked into the temple with Xiao Feng. Because Jiajing was coming, work was suspended for one day today. Those who built the team were not there, which seemed quite deserted.
Facing a huge alchemy tripod, directly in front of the hall, Jiajing nodded with satisfaction: "This alchemy tripod is good and has a lot of momentum."
Xiao Feng smiled and said, "This is a gift from Zhenren Tao. I just sent it the day before yesterday. I don't have time to thank you yet."
Jiajing nodded with a smile. Tao Zhongwen always cut the tofu into light when doing things, and was as round as the elixir he refined.
When he walked to the entrance of the hall, Jiajing suddenly stopped and looked at the thing in the center of the hall.
A huge red coral, looking at the angle of the front entrance where Jiajing was standing, happened to be a big character with strong and elegant pen - Xian!
Jiajing walked forward a few steps, but found that he could not see the word when he approached. He took a few steps back and the word "Xian" appeared in front of him again.
"This was a chance to obtain by Yu Dayou in an isolated island on the sea. It was regarded as auspiciousness and transported to the capital and offered long live.
Because the temple in Your Majesty may be a little narrow, I will temporarily put it in the hall to worship it, and I will give an order to place it after long live to appreciate it."
Jiajing said puzzledly: "Although my monastery is not as big as yours, there is no problem with putting down the coral..."
As soon as he said that, he understood what Xiao Feng meant. Of course, there was no problem with his monastery putting corals, but to see the word "媚" of this coral, it would take a certain distance. The monastery was indeed not so wide.
Xiyuan is big enough, but it is impossible to put this treasure in the open air and wind and rain to the sun, and it will be destroyed in a few days!
If we build a large enough house, the current design of Xiyuan is already very clever, which will inevitably destroy the overall layout.
Moreover, this baby cannot be leaned against the toilet or approached the kitchen. It must be worshipped separately. After thinking about it, it is better to put it in the main hall of the worldly view.
"This is a treasure of the immortal family. It is placed in this hall and endured incense, which is also its best destination. This worldly view was originally built for me and for the Ming Dynasty. My auspiciousness is also considered to be a part of my heart."
Xiao Feng nodded repeatedly and praised Jiajing.
"Long live, this treasure is here, and it will inevitably arouse the covetousness of some people. The power of the worldly view has not yet been formed. It is still necessary to send some people to guard here."
Jiajing nodded: "This is natural. Looking back, I will send a team of guards to guard your worldly vision."
In fact, Xiao Feng didn't say that, Jiajing also planned to be guarded by the World-Entertainment Perspectives.
One is protection, the other is surveillance. After all, it is impossible for Jiajing to pay attention to the Taoist temple so close to the imperial city, which is so close to hundreds of people.
But I originally planned to send a few people to do it, but now that I have also protected the auspiciousness, I will naturally send more people along with the flow.
Xiao Feng smiled at the corner of his mouth. His biggest goal was achieved. The next thing was the Taoist affairs. He naturally changed his name.
"Senior brother, I have invited a Taoist priest to be the master of the second temple, and at the same time I have accepted some disciples. Should I meet me?"
Jiajing was stunned. He didn't expect Xiao Feng to recruit his disciples so soon.
He was more suspicious and immediately thought, could it be that Xiao Feng had already prepared but didn't tell himself. Otherwise, how could there be such a ready-made thing?
But when Jiajing saw Xiao Feng's disciples, he couldn't help laughing, and even Lu Bing and Huang Jin laughed so hard that they fell back and forth.
A group of little kids, seven or eight years old, and four or five years old, were kneeling on the ground like little beans, looking up at Jiajing from time to time, and the old Taoist next to him was so scared that he kept patting their heads.
"Xiao Feng, where did you find a group of apprentices?" Jiajing held back his smile and asked for a long time.
"Senior brother, this is a child in a good hall. They are pure and careless, and they are the good seedlings of practicing Taoism.
Adults practice Taoism, whether they have other intentions and are impure in their will, or are discouraged and become monks, are actually much more difficult, and they are far less than children.
The most important thing is that these children are all orphans. If they grow up in a good hall, they will inevitably increase the hostility of the Ming Dynasty. If they grow up in the worldly view, they will increase the peace of the Ming Dynasty.
This positive and negative result will be immeasurable.”
Jiajing was moved. Yes, there have been few children from Shantang who can take the right path. Most of them have become brave and ruthless people, or robbers.
If these people become practitioners of Taoism, one positive and one negative, the luck of the Ming Dynasty will naturally be enhanced.
Jiajing immediately expressed his congratulations to Xiao Feng, and at Xiao Feng's request, he wrote on the spot and wrote the three big words "Into the World".
After Jiajing admired the coral tree for a while, under Xiao Feng's guidance, he looked at the dormitory again, was amazed at the drainage system, and then happily returned to the palace.
After seeing Jiajing off, Xiao Feng turned around, looked at the dozens of children kneeling on the ground, and smiled and said, "Get up, the person is gone."
However, none of the children stood up. Even the old Taoist knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Xiao Feng solemnly, more pious than kowtowed to Jiajing just now.
"What are you doing?"
The old Taoist raised his head, his eyes were red, and tears were spinning inside.
"The Lord has worked so hard to take us in the temple and even found officers and soldiers to protect the temple. I know very well that from now on, I will only follow the leaders of the great men."
Xiao Feng reached out to pull him up and pulled the children one by one.
"You don't have to think so well. If you don't solve your worries, others will inevitably treat you as a knife.
I don't want to stuff all the important things in my underwear every day."
There were indeed underwear in the Ming Dynasty, but the workmanship was very simple and rough, so it was only worn by officials like Xiao Feng. People like the old Taoist basically went to the vacuum and wore pants directly.
However, the old Taoist could understand what Xiao Feng meant, so he blushed and bowed: "No one forced me in the future, and I will never have to steal anything again."
Xiao Fengxin said that you said this too early, maybe I will be the next one to force you.
Chapter completed!
