I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 52

"Yes!" Hearing this, Manager Zhu slapped his thigh suddenly, and shouted excitedly: "Even you said it, it's just the beginning of the drought, and the well can still be filled with water, so why don't you take advantage of this time to hurry up?" What about digging wells to store water?"

Well, what he said stunned Guo Yi.

Am I digging a hole myself and burying myself?
Guanshi Zhu couldn't help but marvel at his own ideas, I'm so smart!
"Yes! Let's do it!" He slapped his thigh again, and excitedly shouted at Guo Yi: "Wait, kid, I'm going to ask for an official position for you!"

After finishing speaking, he excitedly got into the carriage and left.

Guo Yi was left with a dumbfounded face, what the hell?Are you going to ask for an official position?

What did I promise you?
You're obviously entertaining yourself, okay?
At this time, Yang Liwen also came to his senses, and he also agreed with Guanshi Zhu's thoughts very much. He also pulled Guo Yi's sleeve excitedly: "Brother Yi, brother Yi, I also think that what Guanshi Zhu said is right! There is still water in the house, so we must quickly dig a well to store water! You might as well take this opportunity to ask for an official position!
You continue to dig wells, I will discuss with my uncle and the others. "

After speaking, he ran away with excitement on his face.

Guo Yi was left with a confused face.

Did I promise you anything?
"I also think what they said is right!" Zhuzi also suddenly interjected at this time: "I've been living in the village all day, and I don't even have a storyteller. I don't know, is there a new script from Beijing?"

"Too much nonsense!" Guo Yi didn't say anything, and then kicked him again: "Work!"

…………

In Jiangling City, the mansion of the King of Chu in the North City, the young and handsome His Royal Highness the King of Chu is greeting two guests.

One is a middle-aged Taoist in a Taoist robe and a Taoist bun.

And the other one is Monk Deyuan who is wearing a shabby monk's robe.

The three of them were sitting in the garden of the palace, holding a cup of hot tea in their hands, talking about the drought in front of them.

The middle-aged Taoist, on the other hand, was holding a gourd of wine, pouring it into his mouth from time to time, and said in a drunken way: "It's nonsense to ask someone to say that it's a way of asking for rain! If the sky wants rain, He won't be dry now!"

Monk Deyuan also nodded in agreement: "This way of praying for rain is nothing more than deceiving oneself and others, and deceiving ordinary people!"

When His Royal Highness King Chu heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched unavoidably.Look at you two, Taoist priests don't believe it!Monks don't believe in Buddhism!
Moreover, you can say this kind of thing, but can you not in front of my face?

I, the magistrate, promised to ask for rain. Aren't you slapping people in the face?
Feeling a little upset, he asked, "I don't want to deceive myself! Then if I dare to ask Master Deyuan, is there a good way?"

Forehead…

Monk Deyuan was at a loss for words for a while, and was pushed into a corner...

This topic was first brought up by your seventeenth uncle, why didn't you talk about your seventeenth uncle?
What kind of skill is it to hate a monk who has no power or influence?
Monk Deyuan felt very resentful, so he snorted coldly and kept silent.

But the Taoist turned over and lay on the stone steps in the garden, leisurely raised his right foot, put it on his left leg, raised the gourd again, took a sip of wine, and said indistinctly: "It's not good to ask for rain, it's not good." It's a helpless move to adjust Dajiang. The limitation is too big!"

Monk Deyuan slapped his forehead and blurted out: "It would be better to intercept Dajiang!"

The Taoist was taken aback by him, turned over, and sternly reprimanded: "This is not just for fun! Now to block the river, once it rains upstream, causing floods, the entire Jiangling Mansion will be destroyed." Zeguo!"

"Yeah!" His Royal Highness King Chu nodded in agreement, "Uncle Seventeen is right! Dajiang must not be stopped!"

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work either, I'll let you explain the truth!" Monk Deyuan picked up the tea bowl resentfully and drained it in one go.

At this time, Ruyi walked in, stood in the corridor, and asked for instructions: "Your Highness, Guanshi Zhu is back."

His Royal Highness the King of Chu was stunned, and he will come back as soon as he comes back.Didn't see me. Is there any guest here?
If you see your master's expression, you will immediately understand: "He said he has something important to report!"

His Royal Highness King Chu couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard the words, showing a trace of doubt, and nodded: "Let him in!"

"Yes!"

Ruyi agreed to step down and let Guanshi Zhu in.Seeing the two guests in the garden, he hurriedly bowed and saluted: "My lord, my lord! Seventeenth my lord, my lord! Master Deyuan, long time no see!"

"Yes!" King Chu nodded and agreed, "I heard from Ruyi, did you go to Yanglin Village early in the morning?"

"Yes!" Manager Zhu bowed slightly, and responded, "The little one just came back from Yanglin Village."

When Monk Deyuan heard the name Yanglin Village, he immediately sat up straight and looked at Guanshi Zhu with doubts on his face. He couldn't help asking, "What are you doing in Yanglin Village?"

"It was Gouzi who told me that Guo Erlang would find water to dig wells, and three wells were dug in one day. I didn't believe it, so I set off before dawn." Manager Zhu said what happened today. He narrated it without missing a word.

At this moment, even the Taoist who was lying on the stone steps sat up straight at some point.

King Chu and Monk Deyuan listened attentively.

After a long while, the king of Chu came back to his senses and looked at Guanshi Zhu as if he was looking at a fool. You asked in disbelief, "Three wells were dug in one day? Did you see it with your own eyes?"

In a word, Zhu Guanshi was confused by the question.He slapped his forehead, um, it's over!

I was so focused on bickering with that kid that I forgot about the business!
"The dog stared there all day yesterday, and he could see clearly. When the little one came back just now, that Guo Erlang found another place to dig a well, using a strange shovel." Zhu Guanshi stretched out his hand to gesture as he spoke. for a moment.

And the three people in the garden are still a little puzzled, three wells have been dug in one day?It's like listening to a bible.

Some are not aware of it.

But the monk Deyuan said: "To be honest, I know Guo Erlang too. The stone carbon shop in the city belongs to their family. And the stone carbon is said to be Guo Erlang, according to the dictation of the older generation. , inferred.

As a result, a group of people went to the mountain to dig, and it was really the kind of stone that could be burned for cooking.

And the hundreds of families in Yanglin Village also followed him, buying new clothes and making new shoes. "

When the king of Chu heard what the monk said, his expression was very awkward, and he felt quite guilty.

In terms of feelings, the great monk is familiar with Yang Lincun.

It's a little embarrassing now.

As for Guanshi Zhu, he couldn't help being a little stunned.He was responsible for the matter. If Monk Deyuan knew about it and wanted to talk to His Highness the King of Chu, then his current subordinate would definitely be used as a reproach.

I just don't know, what is the relationship between Monk Deyuan and Guo Erlang?Is it shallow.

This Guo Erlang, who knew the monk Deyuan, did not say earlier that he would let me be a villain here.

Thinking of this, he asked cautiously: "How did you know that Guo Erlang?"
