Generally speaking, local officials will go to any lengths to improve their political performance and beautify themselves.
Even if an official is cruel to the people, in order to have a good reputation, he still hopes that when he leaves office, he will be handed the umbrella of all people, the three elders will take off their boots, and everyone will burst into tears when he leaves.
If this is not possible, then it would be a good idea to find an excuse to build temples and archways to commemorate your dominion and blessings in this land.
He looked at Shen San and Wei Anliang, "I'm afraid you two want the money to give to Magistrate Zhu again."
If an official wants to build and beautify his own building, he will naturally not use his own money, nor will he obviously increase the burden on the people. Naturally, he will recruit local businessmen and wealthy squires to raise money.
In this area, apart from the Shen family's shops and the workers from Caobang, who else could Magistrate Zhu look for?
Shen Jingjing heard it from inside and shouted: "Then let's leave quickly."
Yin Shaotang smiled and said: "Miss Shen, if you run away, the monk will not be able to escape from the temple. The handsome young master is gone, and your shop is still there. All I need to do is find a steward."
If he said this, he would be doomed.
Sure enough, at this time, Yi Cheng's voice came from outside, "Are Third Young Master and Chief Wei here? Master Zhu Zhifu is going to visit you two."
Well, not only did he come, but he also came from a relatively young background. He didn't find a long-term follower, but he turned out to be the master. This was almost as if he came in person.
The two looked at each other helplessly and had no choice but to go out to meet each other.
Let's talk about Su Mo taking Liu Yun Lanru and others to Yaowang Temple. In broad daylight, Yaowang Temple was deserted and there were not many people who made a special trip to offer incense.
The temple was also in dilapidated condition, as if it had not been repaired for many years, and it had become a haven for beggars.
Liu Yun pushed open the creaking broken door and saw several unkempt beggars lying in various directions inside. Some were sleeping, some were gnawing on something, and some were picking lice from each other.
This Yaowang Temple is not big. There is a main hall in the front and a small courtyard in the back. It was originally used by the abbot, but later it was abandoned for some reason. No one stayed there anymore, and even beggars didn't go there.
When the beggars saw that they were going to the backyard, someone immediately shouted: "Ah, ah, ah, don't go. If you go there, you will be haunted by monsters, and there is no way to survive."
Liu Yun asked curiously: "Then why do you still live here?"
