Chapter 380
"Then we can only clean the toilet." Wu Youwei said slowly, "But this is not the point. The point is that the place he went to was a public toilet."
Wang went straight to Shanghai County, and the first day he came out, he didn't know what a "public toilet" was.
Zhang Shen quickly explained that a "public toilet" is a place where anyone can go in and unwind.
Wang Zhi was dumbfounded.
"It's five taels of silver a month!" Wu Youwei said: "Until they earn their gambling amount, they can go home. If they want to gamble, they can continue, as long as they are willing to use the money to gamble. .”
A person who can gamble with a thousand taels must be from a wealthy family. Who would suffer that?
And if he was really caught, as a person who grew up in rich clothes and rich food, if he suffered this crime, his memory would not be too deep.
Where would you be willing to spend the money you get from doing this job?
I can't afford to lose face!
Tanhualang is too powerful.
This method of manipulating people is really not covered!
"Actually, I'm also doing it for the good of Shanghai County." Wu Youwei talked eloquently about the dangers of the sex industry, the prevalence of various venereal diseases, and the countless fortunes lost in gambling, etc.
Wang Zhi also felt that gambling was not a good behavior.
Zhang Shen was drowsy on the side.
After finishing talking, the chat is over, and the snack is delivered.
It's actually mint cake.
It's June now, the weather is hot, and the mint cake is sweet and refreshing. In summer, eating this is quite annoying.
Served with cold mung bean soup, after eating, it will be cool from the inside out, and you can sleep comfortably until dawn when you lie down.
Wantong didn't come back at night, Wu Youwei slept alone.
The next day, Wu Youwei still had business to do, so he asked Zhang Shen to lead Wang Zhi to continue shopping.
This day Wang Zhi went to the arsenal, stayed there for a whole day, and came back smiling in a good mood.
On the third day, the two of them went to the four villages in Shanghai County for a walk. Wang Zhi found that the villages here were almost rushed to a small county town.
It is simply a simplified version of Shanghai County.
The villagers here are not afraid, and greet them generously when they see them. When they are thirsty, they can find a teahouse to rest on the commercial street in the village. The commercial street in this village is similar to that in Shanghai County. It's just a little smaller. For the same store, there may be thirty in Shanghai County, and there can be three or five here.
They are also run by the villagers themselves. Generally, there are shops in the front and living quarters in the back.
However, all the shopkeepers and buddies live there, and the boss still lives at home. They are all locals.
On the fourth day, Wang Zhilai told Wu Youwei that he wanted to go to Bailong Port with Zhang Shen: "Go and see the military port, then turn to Wusongkou, look at the port wharf and Wusong camp, and then Go to Camp Island for a walk.
"Okay, don't be in a hurry when you come back from Yingdao, come here for two days to rest." Wu Youwei said: "I'll ask the kitchen to make you some mint cakes, herbal tea and so on. You just came from the north, don't you?" Knowing how powerful the southern sun is, don't be brave at this time, heat stroke is no joke."
Because Wang Zhi was actually very young, Wu Youwei took care of him as if he was a little boy. In the past two days, he had a lot of clothes made for him, all of which were quite Shanghai-style summer shirts.
Knowing that he was going to the military camp, I specially asked people to make simple military clothes according to his body shape.
Now the relationship between the navy and Zhang Shen is good, to be honest, he doesn't see outsiders at all, and doesn't treat him as an eunuch.
He hoped that this trend could be maintained, so that Wang Zhi could have an ordinary heart, so that he would not be like what was recorded in the history books.
He can show off wantonly, but he must not be arrogant and domineering.
"Well... good." Wang Zhi was embarrassed, he had never experienced this kind of care like a younger brother.
When he left with Zhang Shen, Wu Youwei also came here, and invited the master of Baiyun temple, Gu Wendao, to calculate the auspicious days and put the beams on the house.
It was confirmed that it was before noon today.
It's just that early this morning, not only the master Gu Wen of the Baiyun Temple came, but even the presiding Master Xiuyuan of Longhua Temple also came.
"You two are here, it's so radiant!" Wu Youwei was sleeping late in the morning, but he was dug up from the mat. The housekeeper washed him up impatiently, changed his clothes and pushed him away. When I came out to meet guests, people quickly made vegetarian dishes and snacks, and served vegetarian wine and cooked tea to receive guests.
Two monks, one is dressed in a fairy style, wearing Taoist robes and square shoes; the other is dressed in cassocks, with a bald head and a compassionate face.
Wu Youwei was in a daze, but when he saw these two people, he immediately woke up.
Ever since he was given an oolong by Lord Yama, he has kept a respectful and distant attitude towards religion, that is, Master Kong is not counted, he is a guy who lives in the world of Buddhism.
These two were born in Shanghai County, entered Buddhism in Shanghai County, and never left when Shanghai County suffered disasters.
Although their Taoist temples and temples...before Wu Youwei came, they were actually very dilapidated, so dilapidated that pirates and Japanese pirates never visited.
Of course, maybe they are also afraid of God's punishment. Anyway, the place is big enough, but the houses and people are not good.
After Wu Youwei took office, he not only repaired Shanghai County, but also brought their temple a new look
Feeling sorry for the two of you, he was blocked early in the morning by... oh, no, he was blocked at the door, what was he going to do?
"Your order is welcome." Master Xiuyuan was an aged monk, and he looked very amiable.
When Wu Youwei first came, he was very thin, wearing a patched cassock, with a sallow face, and there were only a dozen disciples and grandchildren with firm beliefs left in the temple.
He also planted paddy fields and vegetable fields by himself.
Now he is wearing a clean and tidy monk's robe and cassock, his face is full of red light!
The chubby flesh stretched out all the wrinkles on his face, as if he had rejuvenated 20 years younger.
The housekeeper brought over three cups of herbal tea and two plates of vegetarian snacks.
This is really a vegetarian snack, a plate of mint cake, and a plate of mung bean cake.
Gu Wen Taoist took a sip of herbal tea and said, "We are from other places, but we are here for business."
Wu Youwei was stunned: "Business?"
He, the county government, has an official business with monks and Taoists?
"Did you forget the order?" Master Xiuyuan looked at Wu Youwei, and found that he didn't seem to be pretending, so he looked at Guwen Taoist priest.
"This?" Wu Youwei thought for a while, "Please forgive me for taking the liberty, I really can't remember."
"Great Order, there are still two positions missing in the county government." Gu Wen said with a smile, "One is the monk's association of the monk's association, and the other is the Daohui of the Taoist association. So far, you have not appointed anyone to take up the position."
Wu Youwei was completely speechless, because he really forgot!
There were these two positions in the county government, but because he was careless and important, he didn't value religion very much, so they were left behind.
Moreover, although these two positions are not graded, they deal directly with Buddhism and Taoism. I feel that there is no future. The court is very strict with religion. Extraordinary importance.
There is a lot of suppression of religion in secret, regardless of whether it is local or foreign, you are not welcome.
Now that he was asked in front of his eyes, Wu Youwei just remembered, isn't it, two people are missing!
"Master, Daoist, it's not the county's negligence." Wu Youwei first laid the groundwork: "At the beginning, I thought about it, but although these two positions are not high-ranking, they have to be paid. Dealing with religion, and the people here in this county don't know much about Buddhism and Taoism, and they are not proficient in it, so they just keep procrastinating, procrastinating, procrastinating, this county is busy, so forget it.
In fact, he didn't intend to let people take over those two positions from the beginning, because he thought it was unnecessary, but now it seems that people can't be without faith.
Because Shanghai County is getting richer and richer, people have more and more money in their hands, and life is getting more and more enjoyable. The two places are now very prosperous.
"Since that's the case, Daling, the old Taoist has the cheek to recommend someone." Gu Wen Taoist looked at Wu Youwei: "I wonder if it is possible?"
"Oh?" Wu Youwei became interested: "Who is it?"
If you have the right people, sure.
Anyway, there are only these two places nearby, oh, there is also a Chenghuang Temple, which he has repaired, but there is no temple celebration yet.
"It's Huang Axing, the boss of Huangpobuzhuang." Gu Wendao said, "He's my senior lay disciple."
Thanks to Huang Axing's support in those years, Baiyun Temple could not become a deserted Taoist temple.
"Is he your lay disciple?" Wu Youwei thought for a while: "Have you never heard of it?"
Did you apprentice?
In this day and age, lay disciples have some reputations and rules, he doesn't even know it!
"It happened a long time ago." Gu Wen said, stroking his beard, "It is said that a certain generation of priests saved Huang Po's life, otherwise, how could she, a child bride who escaped, go to Yazhou alone? Lived for more than 30 years? Later they returned to Shanghai, and the eldest sons of each generation were the lay disciples of the master of Baiyun Temple. The Huang family did not leave Shanghai County in those days because Baiyun Temple was here."
Only then did Wu Youwei know that there is still such a connection.
"The candidate recommended by the old monk is also the big disciple of the old monk." Master Xiuyuan said slowly: "He is the Patriarch of the Shen family, Shen Yi.
"The Shen family?" Wu Youwei knew about the Shen family. Ever since Shanghai County came back to life, the Shen family has been very active. The main performance is that their family seems to be ahead of everything. Whether it is labor or other activities, their family supports it. .
Also, Wu Youwei didn't consider moving his younger brother back last time, and their family didn't come to ask again.
"Similar to Baiyun Temple, there is an elder in the Lao Na Temple, who is the uncle of the previous generation of the Shen family. It is because of that elder, but that elder has passed away, so the Shen family has to move out."
It's just that now that this place is safe, the Shen family... will naturally not move out.
Only then did Wu Youwei know why Shanghai County was so dilapidated and everyone else left, why didn't the Shen family leave?Huang Axing's family also opened business in other places, just in Shanghai County.
Not only is it impossible to leave without a strong relationship, but there is also such an unspeakable reason.
But someone can take over those two positions, and he is a candidate trusted by both Buddhism and Taoism, so Wu Youwei didn't think much about it: "If that's the case, then it's the two of them."
Both are very satisfied.
But Wu Youwei also said: "However, after entering the official position, they will be like subordinate officials. If children enter official positions in the future, it will be three generations later."
The two were taken aback.
They didn't think much of it.
After thinking for a while, Master Xiuyuan said: "The old monk recommends Shen Yi's younger brother, Shen Er. He is also a lay disciple of the old monk, but he is the second disciple."
Wu Youwei remembered that Shen Yi had said that he wanted his younger brother to move back. If his younger brother became the monk of this monk association, he would definitely move back.
Moreover, the cook at home is an inquisitor, and she has heard the maids and women muttering for a long time that this Shen Er of the Shen family is different from the head of the Shen family.
Shen Yi is the eldest brother, generous and generous.
Shen Er is the younger brother, stingy, in a narrow sense.
The two brothers grew up facing each other, no matter in temper or disposition.
So Wu Youwei didn't want such a person either.
"Shen Er doesn't seem to be from this county, does it?" Wu Youwei shook his head: "For this position, local people from this county are given priority.
Master Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, and then proclaimed the Buddha's name: "Then, the old man's little disciple, Brother Laijia, is also suitable."
This is a posture that must be arranged by yourself!
