Chapter 350: The Warrior
"The villagers' intentions are good, but they lack some specifications, which is inevitably a little unbeautiful."
After leaving Caojialing, Jiang Fangyin heard Wei Sheren muttering "specifications" four times along the way, and every time he said the word "specifications", his face was always full of regret and helplessness.
What does the specification mean, although Jiang Fangyin is a lifter and full of experience, he really doesn't understand. He only knew that if the Wei She people were okay and often went to Caojialing to see, it would undoubtedly make the old people in Caojialing live in dire straits.
There was an awkward appearance at the time, but it was deeply imprinted in Jiang Ju's heart.
As a lifter, when Jiang Fangyin did not vote for Yang Hao as a staff member in the early years, he was also a figure with a head and face in his hometown, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was a tyrant. It is precisely because of his identity that Jiang Fangyin knows about the affairs between the townships.
Don't look at the people of Caojialing happily welcoming the Weishe people and building a shrine for the Weishe people, everyone worships the Weishe people. But behind this, there is also a matter of money.
If there is no money, how can the ancestral hall be repaired?
Without money, how to erect the merit monument in front of the shrine.
There is no money, how is this wine stored?
Without money, how did the scene of gongs and drums come out.
Perhaps, Caojialing's Li Zheng and the villagers did not apportion it, and the money needed was donated spontaneously by the villagers. However, no one dares to guarantee that the elders of Lizheng Township have not taken a single or two from it, and whether someone has taken the lead in this matter itself.
In the world, no one calls for it, no one takes the lead, and no matter how many people you applaud, you can't do it. And those who call for the lead will not benefit from it, too.
Of course, Jiang Fangyin would not think that the reason why Li Zheng was awkward was because he was afraid that this Qinqiao Weishe person would check his accounts. Left and right a land temple, how much oil and water can be fished.
He believes that what is being feared there is the future income.
That's a big head.
Don't underestimate the Weishe Temple, there are many ways to get money here.
Why did Caojialing's villager Li Baba rush to Hupiyi to invite the Wei people to go to "count the gold" in person?
Didn't you want to borrow the name of the Wei She people and the official robe to make money!
With Jiang Fangyin's insight of traveling south and north, there are not 10,000 land temples and mountain temples that he has seen, but also 1,000. These small temples are all built in the same way, except for the different gods and goddesses enshrined in them, there is no difference. But you must not underestimate these temples, as long as they are repaired and maintained, they are no less than small gold mines.
There are people who occupy the road and collect fees, and there are people who overlord the bridge and ask for money, usually this kind of person is called a car bandit road blocker, and the people hate it, but there is a kind of person who sits in the temple, and the people are willing to send the money.
This kind of person is called a high-ranking person.
Naturally, there is no way for the small Weishe Temple to have any enlightened masters sitting in it, for no other reason, it is too small. But this does not affect the fact that the Weishe Temple can make people rich.
Asking God to worship Buddha should be sincere, how to be sincere, naturally it is to pay tribute to the gods. The greater the contribution, the more the gods will bless you. On the contrary, if you have no heart and no lungs, how can the gods take care of you.
Jiang Fangyin was sure that as soon as the Wei Sheren left on the front foot, the elders of the Zhengxiang in the back foot would put a merit box in the Sheren Temple.
With the presence of the Weishe people in person today, the grand scene of the people flocking to the place within a radius of dozens of miles, at the end of the day, the merit box will definitely be full of copper coins.
That's what comes in.
And this Weishe Temple is no better than other temples, worshipping not the dead, but the big living, a big living person that even the gods are afraid of, and a big living person that the people have seen with their own eyes! This is a more convincing tribute than those immortals in the sky.
As long as the scenery of the Weishe people is bright, the incense of the Sheren Temple is absolutely indispensable, and the entry is like a long stream of water, day by day, month by month, and by day.
But now that the Weishe people said that they would come over often to see if they were fine, of course Lizheng was bitter. They can point to the deeds of the Wei Sheren who beheaded the city god to make a fortune, you are worried about it every day, even if you don't come, you will send a person to see it every other day, if you find out that they use the Sheren Temple to make profits, you can't deal with them?
Therefore, Jiang Fangyin could deeply understand the bitterness in the hearts of Li Zheng and others, and at the same time, he didn't understand why Wei Sheren said that he would come over often to take a look.
Is this a warning?
If that were the case, Jiang Fangyin would really be impressed by the Wei She people.
It's really a young age, and he has a unique vision.
It's just that since you're worried about this, why don't you ask someone to tear it down.
The ancestral hall is not unheard of throughout the ages, but it is rare, very few, after all, it is unlucky.
Which big living person is so good that he is willing to be built by others to build a shrine for him.
You Weishe people have a bright future now, what are you doing with this bad luck.
Even if the people are grateful to you for your great kindness, they can write books and write biographies like me, and they can afford to build any kind of ancestral hall.
Jiang Fangyin is incomprehensible, but the person concerned is happy, and he will not be stupid to order that taboo. Since he learned from his benefactor Yang Hao that this deputy envoy of Wei was actually the person of the noble concubine, and he was also a person recommended to his sister by Uncle Xiaoguo, he made up his mind that he must climb the high branches bravely, not afraid of difficulties, not afraid of hardships, so that his long-cherished wish in life can be fulfilled.
What is Jiang Fangyin's long-cherished wish?
Official.
If he wasn't for being an official, why would he bother to take any fame and win the promotion.
It's just that you can be an official if you make a name for yourself, as long as you don't dislike it, you can do it in remote areas. Isn't Hai Rui a lifter during the Jiajing period of this dynasty, and he became a high-ranking official in one fell swoop from a small teaching, which can be called an example.
Jiang Fangyin didn't want to be an official like Hai Rui, the kind of official who was too bitter and stunned to buy some pork for a tooth sacrifice was really not made by him.
He originally wanted to continue to improve and take the Jinshi exam, but unfortunately, his luck was really bad.
Unwilling to start as a petty official, and really couldn't get into the Jinshi, Jiang Juren simply became a "mountain man".
Generally speaking, when the name is heard, the "mountain people" are regarded as mountain people who live in the mountainous areas and have less contact with the outside world. However, since the advent of the title "mountain people", the representatives have never been real mountain people, but those who are not officials but want to be officials, and those who are in the people but want to squeeze into the temple.
Their typical characteristic is that they all have fame, or they are promoted, or they show talents, but they all give up the imperial examination, gather in the two capitals or the nine sides, and want to enter the temple through various ways.
There are three role models for them, one is Wang Shoushi, a "Yangmingshan man", one is Wang Shizhen, a "Yizhou mountain man", and the other is Xie Zhen, a "Siming Mountain man".
Thirteen years ago, Jiang Fangyin, who became a mountain man, successfully became the staff of Yang Hao, a senior official of the imperial court, and wanted to take advantage of Yang Hao's momentum to soar into the sky, but Yang Hao was dismissed by the emperor by order because of defeat. As a result, Jiang Juren spent thirteen years.
Until, more than a month ago, Yang Ho, who was determined by almost everyone to be impossible to make a comeback, suddenly got a new appointment.
Eat a trench and grow wise, this time Jiang Juren didn't dare to put all his eggs in one basket. Therefore, when he learned that the benefactor's deputy envoy turned out to be a popular man in the palace, his mind suddenly came to life.
The result of living was that the unlucky Weishe people had to go to Shenyang.
Wei Liangchen didn't know that the initiator was Jiang Juren, who he had become a confidant, and what he was thinking about now was the word "specification".
Specifications are forced.
The small temple in Caojialing Village really didn't come into his ears and eyes, and it made him haunted.
Even if the ancestral hall he imagined about himself was not as good as the Confucian Temple, at least it had to be Wencheng Wude, Shoubi Nanshan, and as blessed as the East China Sea.
There must be a unified architectural style, a unified temple style, a unified staff, and a unified propaganda channel...
Liangchen was immersed in the planning of his ancestral hall.
Now he is still very relaxed.
First, the Japanese were effectively settled, and with the identity of Jiang Fangyin, the envoy of the envoy, Hu Sanpao, the garrison of Changsheng Fort, had to agree to provide food and shelter for a period of time.
Second, the simple enthusiasm of the people of Liaodong still deeply moved him.
Third, Shenyang City is getting closer and closer, which means that if Yang Hao is not fooling him, he may create a large GDP in this important town.
Zheng Duo and his subordinates still came to Shenyang with Wei Liangchen, in addition to these Flying Tiger tax soldiers, Oshima also brought ten soldiers with long knives as personal guards for the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission.
