Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 1033
Zhang Daochang stood on the "Great Hall" of "Yunsheng Temple"—it was said to be a "Great Hall", but it was actually just a tile-roofed house with three bays.But in this rural area in southern Lunan, it can be regarded as a very neat and orderly house - looking down on all the living beings in the yard looking at him devoutly.A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

There are only statues of Sanqing on the main hall. According to the new Taoist concept, there are no idols. However, Zhang Yingchen considers that it is not appropriate to be too independent at the moment, shocking the world and attracting the attention of local gentry and officials. Therefore, he still uses the traditional celestial master Tao image appears as well.

Yunsheng Temple itself is very small, because of the strong support of the banker, it has been expanded a lot.Except for some land "donated" by the dealer, most of the land was bought by Zhang Yingchen himself. Although it was easier to buy land in a famine year, the dealer also contributed a lot during the period-Zhang Yingchen deeply felt that the support of the local gentry in the Ming Dynasty was too important.

Because of the uneven ground, several masters of the Taoist temple suggested that Zhang Yingchen should quickly "copycatize" the Taoist temple.Natural disasters are frequent in southern Shandong, and refugees and bandits are everywhere. Larger villages and stockades are rushing to build their walls and practice their courage.Although Yunsheng Temple is only four or five miles away from Dadianzhuang, it is still isolated in the wild. It was originally a broken courtyard that no one wanted, but now hundreds of refugee families have gathered, and it has become the entrance of the new Taoism. Attractive target too.

Zhang Yingchen felt that what the masters of the Zhuang family said was reasonable. Anyway, he now has a lot of manpower - in addition to a large number of believers who can be used, he also has enough food on hand, enough to recruit a large number of refugees who are willing to work hard for food - immediately Start to repair the soil fence.

Money is also indispensable, although he declined the donations from the bankers and exempted the "Xiangyi silver" from the believers.After the Nan Wuliang Sect disintegrated in the local area, except for the floating wealth and some real estate occupied by Ma Weisan, most of the real estate under its name fell into the hands of the Taoist chief.He sold part of the real estate to the dealer and obtained hundreds of taels of silver and hundreds of shi of grain.

Even the building materials didn't bother him: some abandoned villages in famine years, Zhang Yingchen mobilized refugees to demolish houses, bricks and stones.The wood, and even the adobe bricks, were transported back without dragging. A 500-meter-circumference wall was soon built around Yunsheng Temple, and a trench was dug outside the wall.Turrets were built around it, making it look like an earthen village.

In order to firmly grasp the word "charity" as a signboard, Zhang Yingchen also set up the charity hall "Tzu Chi Hall" held by the dealer in the Taoist temple, in order to ensure a close relationship with the dealer, and also to dilute his own color of being a Taoist .

The Tzu Chi Hall is now located in the left and right wing rooms of the main hall, and Zhang Yingchen doesn't care about the organization and personnel of the charity hall: after all, it is the banker who pays the money, the food, and the relationship, and he is only interested in the refugees.

The refugees all live outside Yunsheng Temple, but inside the earth enclosure.According to Zhang Yingchen's design drawings, the farmer built rows of refugee camp-like longhouses with adobe bricks and straw, specially used to accommodate refugees.Those who take care of the refugees are all believers under Zhang Yingchen.

Zhang Yingchen had strict control over the believers, forbidding them to preach to the refugees. He only preached to the believers that visiting the poor and the poor was a "great merit" and "the gods of the sea saved people", so as not to arouse suspicion from both the Ming Dynasty and the Senate.

Of course, many of his believers themselves became refugees, starving and poorly clothed.At the same time, Zhang Yingchen distributed relief rations and blankets through the group leader to help them survive the winter, but they were not taken away.He still can't guarantee the reliability of these former Wuliang believers. If something goes wrong when they are transported to Jeju or Taiwan, it will be seriously detrimental to him and his new Taoism.

Zhang Yingchen walked down the steps slowly - the morning consultation was over - now he continued to visit Yunsheng for half a day every day.Because the medicine works like a god, and he doesn't take a penny from the poor, his reputation is getting bigger and bigger.The refugees, believers, and office workers gathered in the courtyard gave way one after another.With a compassionate smile on Zhang Yingchen's face, he returned the salute from time to time, and sometimes even had to say a few words to others.

When some believers saw him coming, they knelt down one after another, some shouted his name wildly, and some rushed forward to try to touch his clothes. The scene was a bit chaotic for a while.Zhang Yingchen knew that some believers even tried to bribe the Taoist boy who served him personally, trying to get some of his washing water or old clothes as medicine.He had to criticize this practice severely at the doctrinal study meeting of the group leaders, denouncing it as a "monster".

Surrounded by several cronies including the Ming and Qing Dynasties, he finally left the main courtyard and walked to the backyard: there are three entrances in the backyard, which are the offices of the New Taoism and his office.It is also the nerve center of the Senate in the southern Shandong area.

Priest Daoquanzi has done a few things here that he has always wanted to do but failed. One of them is to finally get enough people to open a Taoist training class. The Taoist leader who was excluded and despised finally felt proud this time: With enough popularity and a huge refugee population, he finally selected fifty handsome young men and women as Taoists according to his own aesthetic taste and selection criteria.

Rows of houses were built along the fence in the backyard: they were the dormitories and classrooms of the Taoist students.It would be noon, and because the cafeteria hadn't been built yet, Dao students scattered in the courtyard in twos and threes, eating while squatting and standing with bowls in their hands.

Meals are simple, even hard: the relief rations and vegetables are dry and boiled, but for the Taoists, it is the supreme delicacy, and they are all delicious.Every Daoist is dressed in homemade cloth purchased locally, and the short Dao uniform made by the female relatives of the disciples. Many of them are old clothes that have been dismantled, washed and refitted - without showing too many Lingao characteristics.

Zhang Yingchen did not approach the Dao students, for fear of arousing the "surroundings" of the Dao students.Recently, he found that the "cult of personality" in himself has become more and more intense, and he is deeply worried about this.

For this group of Taoist students, he used his first batch of disciples, Ming and Qing, as teachers. He first taught them the basic ability to read, write and calculate, and then taught them the teachings. "Introduction to Taoism", "Questions and Answers on Taoism" and "Collection of Key Sutras".He has limited time, so he mainly uses memorizing, and then uses one class time every day to explain and instill.It's just that the most important music course is not taught: although Robo Quanzi has a lot of research on Taoist music, both musical instruments and singing are hard-working.

"This batch of high-quality uncut jade cannot stay here. The environment is too dangerous. It would be a pity if it was ruined." He looked at the Dao students who were active in the yard for a long time, and felt a little crazy.

"Taoist..." Ming Qing reminded in a low voice.

"Huh?! Oh." Zhang Yingchen came back to his senses, coughed, and continued to walk along the corridor to his yard.

Several tile-roofed houses were newly built in the yard for his personal and several trusted disciples to live in and use.Zhang Yingchen's combination medicine is also here on weekdays.However, as Qiwei's freight route gradually became familiar, more and more Chinese patent medicines were shipped from Hong Kong, and the pressure on him to make medicines was much less.

When he returned to his residence, Luo Chun brought a bowl of tea, and he drank half of it in one go.The house was tidy and quiet.It looks like it has been carefully cleaned.He felt very satisfied: there is a difference between having a woman and not having a woman.

Luo Saichun - Zhang Yingchen thought her name was too quack, so she removed the word "Sai", and now she is called Luo Chun - stood silently beside her.Since Luo Chun was subdued by his "magic power" at the "fa conference", he has completely given up on the Taoist priest.Zhang Yingchen understands the psychology of such women very well. Once the psychological pillars in their hearts are destroyed, their world outlook, outlook on life, and moral outlook will be completely overthrown and their personalities will be easily reshaped.And he, Zhang Yingchen, has read a lot of psychological and practical books on this.After a period of careful training, the effect is remarkable. Although Zhang Yingchen is not [-]% assured of her, at least he has [-]% trust in her.

When the matter came to an end, she was sent back to Lingao to be "purified" and "re-educated". The Taoist priest thought about it, and she would become a qualified professional religious person of New Taoism in the future.

Luo Chun held his breath and stood next to the "real man", waiting for his orders at any time.Now that he has changed his family, he is in awe of this "true man" with boundless magic power, almost worshiping him.On weekdays, he only dares to call himself a maid and servant, serving the "real person" wholeheartedly in his daily life.In order to ask the real person to show mercy, he recited scriptures for Hu Qier, and saved his soul to "the fairy mountain and god world on the other side of the sea".Although Hu Qi'er has no blood relationship with her, she has no other relatives in the world, and her only apprentice is also a close relative.

Zhang Yingchen used both power and power to Luo Chunen, trying to win him over: Luo Chun had been the saintess of Nan Wuliang Sect's internal law hall for a long time, and knew the affairs of the sect very well.He wants to start a larger-scale operation in Lunan to fight for territory from the local sect, and Luo Chun is his guide.

He didn't trust Ma Weisan—although Ma Weisan was responsive to his requests, but he controlled a large amount of teaching property, and his attitude of keeping him at arm's length made him very unhappy.When the team leader meeting was held, Ma Weisan either made excuses not to come, or sent a deputy team leader to fill in, obviously full of wariness towards him.

"It's easy to get rid of you anyway!" Zhang Yingchen thought to himself.Just tell Xiaoye, Ma Weisan will not be there tomorrow night.However, he still couldn't make up his mind: Although the top management was very unpopular, most of the team leader and deputy team leader had worked with Ma Weisan for a long time, and killing him rashly would make them feel sad.

"Luo Chun, what do you think of Team Leader Ma?" Zhang Yingchen put down his tea bowl and asked slowly.

"Reporting to the real person: Ma Weisan is not firm in his beliefs, talented but not virtuous."

Although she was born as a prostitute, after all, she has been in the upper echelons of the sect for many years, and her words are not vulgar.
