Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 1477 The second master and the third master worship together

After Zhou Zhi’s explanation, everyone felt that it really made sense.

Ye Xin couldn't stop laughing while holding her belly: "Wen Yu also rescued a child this time. He became a father before he got married, hahahaha..."

"Shu Yi, you see, some people just don't react," Zhou Zhi looked at Ye Xin and worried about his IQ: "Wen Yu has become a godfather, but she is also a godmother? Are you still making fun of others?"

Ye Xin's smile suddenly died on her face.

"Hahahaha..." Now it was the friends' turn to be unable to bear it any longer.

"Elbow..." Ye Xin was so angry that she wanted to hit him, but Fang Wenyu stopped her and had to throw peanuts at Zhou Zhi.

"Okay, okay, let me get down to business." Li Laosan calmed the noisy people. He is from Hong Kong and is particularly superstitious about these magical things. Then he thought of Yunyang a few days ago. : "I feel that I was very comfortable when I was in Yunyang and everything went smoothly. Maybe I am destined to be with Zhang Fei... Elbow, do you think Zhang Fei can be my guarantee?"

"Ah...what?" Zhou Zhi was dumbfounded: "It seems...aren't you paying homage to the Second Master Guan?"

"Second Master Guan also wants to worship, but when I saw Third Master Zhang in Yunyang, I felt kind to him." Li Laosan became more and more sure as he spoke: "You see, we are all ranked third... Just tell me whether it's okay or not!"

"It should work, right?" Zhou Zhi pondered for a moment: "I know that the Miao people have such a custom. They worship big trees, big rocks, even stone bridges, house pillars, and statues and sculptures for protection. "

"Isn't the statue in Zhang Fei's temple going to be rebuilt?" Li Laosan said, "It would be a pity to destroy it. Why not... move it to the Shudu Wood Comprehensive Plant?"

"You're a rich man, so that's up to you." Zhou Zhi didn't need to save money for Li Laosan, so he gave him advice: "In storytelling, people don't often make wishes to statues of gods? They always rebuild temples and build golden bodies. Your Li family If you are willing, we can take over the entire Yunyang Zhangfei Temple relocation project.”

Seeing Li Laosan deep in thought, Zhou Zhi was so frightened that he quickly waved his hand: "Hey! I'm just kidding!"

"Then the project is worth RMB 30 million, right?" Li Laosan was seriously considering this issue: "There's no need to alarm the old man, I'll make a personal donation and there's no problem."

In the previous life, the relocation project of Zhang Fei Temple cost hundreds of millions, but there was a prerequisite for that, which was based on the price of goods seven or eight years later. Now that the construction is started immediately, the price is almost exactly what Li Laosan said.

Regarding taking advantage of the superstitious psychology of the rich and asking them to spend money to maintain the country's immovable cultural relics, Zhou Zhi is still happy to see the results, so he is too lazy to persuade him. The current domestic market can be called a black land for investment. The kind that will take root and sprout, especially for people like Li Laosan who play with capital, so letting him shed some blood, ah no, let him satisfy his wish is the best of both worlds.

Wushan is a key area for the Cultural Preservation Foundation's work, so the research ship stayed here for a relatively long time.

In addition to being located in the middle reaches, with a suitable distance between upstream and downstream, making it convenient for work, there are also many ancient towns here that need to be relocated by the foundation to the capital of Shu.

Dachang Ancient Town in Wushan is a typical example.

Dachang Ancient Town is located ten kilometers up from the mouth of Dicui Gorge, one of the Small Three Gorges, on the east bank of Daning River.

The ancient town was built in Jin Dynasty and has a history of more than 1,700 years. The main street from east to west is about 350 meters long, and the north to south is about 200 meters long. It is a well-preserved pocket ancient town in the Three Gorges area. The ancient town is located at the transportation hub between Chongqing and Hubei and has rich cultural relics. Cultural relics from the Neolithic Age, Shang and Zhou Dynasties have been excavated.

During the ancient Ba Kingdom period, salt was of great value, and Dachang was located on the salt road. Naturally, it prospered and developed, and it once became the "Baxu", where the capital of Ba Kingdom was located.

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" records that "Wuzhen Kingdom" "has no achievements, no crops, no crops" and "the luan bird sings to itself, and the phoenix dances to itself", which tells the story of the country's founding based on salt industry and transportation.

Until the Song Dynasty, the salt industry here was very developed. The famous salt supervisor "Da Ning Supervisor" in the Northern Song Dynasty was set up here.

In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, "Zhang Xianzhong fell to Dachang, and the chief military officer Zhang Ling died in battle." Since then, Dachang's development momentum has taken a turn for the worse.

In the ninth year of Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty, due to years of war, little money and food, and very few people, Dachang County was merged into Wushan County, and the history of Dachang County came to an end.

With the beginning of the "Huguang Reclamation" policy, immigrants from other places continued to move in, and the population of Dachang continued to increase again. By the time of the Guangxu Republic of China, the salt industry was once again developed and the population was densely populated.

The altitude of Dachang Town is 141 meters. After the Three Gorges Project impounds water, the water level will reach meters. Dachang, a prosperous town with a history of thousands of years and thousands of acres of fertile farmland, will eventually all be silent under the Daning River.

Around the ancient town, starting from Shuikou, down to Shoupayan Bridge, and north to Yangxi Village, a broad lake of nearly 12 square kilometers will eventually be formed, becoming Dachang Lake, the largest lake in the entire Three Gorges Reservoir area.

Zhou Zhi and his party are now living in the Wen Family Courtyard in the ancient town.

"We do not produce salt here." The town cadre who brought Zhou Zhi and his party said: "The place where salt brine is produced is actually Baoyuan Mountain in Wuxi, but because that place is too small to build a large salt farm, the ancients They also built a plank road along the Daning River to transport salt brine from the mountains here for cooking. "

"Even in the 1960s and 1970s, there were many salt factories in this area. In addition to our Dachang Salt Factory, there were also the Ningchang Salt Factory, Wuxi Salt Factory upstream, and the Longxi Salt Factory next to it. , Yangxi Salt Factory.”

"But our Dachang has another big advantage, that is, the Daning River waterway and the Ancient Tea Horse Road are located in a strategic location, and there is a good wharf where ships can dock, so it has gradually evolved into a large distribution center."

There is a "T-shaped street" here, which is connected by East Street and West Street into one street, which is perpendicular to South Street.

The overall architectural style of sloping roofs, small green tiles, wooden doors and windows, double-layered eaves, double-eaves hard hills, horse-head walls, and fire-sealing walls is maintained. It is completely different from the architectural style of the entire southwestern Sichuan and is all Huizhou architecture.

"Hui-style buildings were built by big businessmen who sent money back to their hometowns after they made a fortune doing business abroad." The town cadre said, "It's the same thing as here, so there was a popular saying here back then, called 'Town to look at three things. Jue, the house looks at the three sculptures, and the person looks at the three bodies.”

"It means that there are three kinds of distinctive buildings in our town, namely the archway, the ancestral hall and the mansion. These buildings are all very exquisite, and the stone carvings, brick carvings and wood carvings on them are the three unique things; and these tall mansions The owner often has three identities at the same time, or there are three kinds of people in the family at the same time - officials, businessmen, and Confucian. "
