Chapter 1293 Paying money to build temples (5)
The villagers finally realized the benefits that building temples can bring to them and to the whole village, and the wind direction of the discussion was also corrected to the good side. Only then did the ugly village head feel relieved, and secretly sighed that fortunately, the people in the village hadn't Ignorant to the point of picking sesame seeds and losing watermelon.You know, although the temple can bring them benefits, he feels that such immediate benefits are far less serious than the consequences of offending Qin Shuang, or even the whole Ruyi Village.

He couldn't say why he felt this way. Maybe it was because he had lived for a long time. Even if he couldn't say why, he just had an inexplicable premonition. Now, you must not be annoyed casually.Just based on the nonsense of those people just now, if the people on Qin Shuang's side find out, they don't know what troubles will be caused. Chen Ming, who was a child in the school, is still squatting in the prison, and when he came out, he didn't know if he could still look like a human being.

Although he just said a few unpleasant words and didn't really want to fight against Qin Shuang and the others, but as the saying goes, misfortune comes from the mouth, and you can't go wrong if you are careful.

Watching the villagers talk about each other in full swing, from the initial resistance and reluctance to the present full of expectation and joy, it seems that they have seen that they have got rid of the current life of poverty and belt-tightening, and live a happy life. A good day.

The village chief clapped his hands and shouted: "Has everyone agreed to pay for the rebuilding of the temple together? If anyone disagrees, let's vote with a show of hands." After speaking, he looked around and was very satisfied to find that although There are still whispers, but no one continues to firmly oppose taking money out.

The village head was finally relieved now, with a smile on his face, and said: "Since we have all agreed, then hurry back and get the money. It would be best if you have already brought the money with you, and get all the money early. It can also start work earlier. Those pilgrims who came all the way in the winter to pray and pray to the Buddha are really hard."

"That's right, I saw those people shivering from the cold and worshiping the gate of the house devoutly. Their hands were frozen and they had to offer incense in person. How sincere they are!"

"The temple will be repaired sooner, and they will be able to go inside to worship. At that time, people in our own village will also be able to worship. I beg the Buddha to let us all live a good life!"

"By the way, village chief, you haven't said how much each family gets!"

"Based on the head count, if there are strong men between the ages of 15 and 45 in the family, each person pays 54 Wen. If there is no strong man in the family, only the elderly, weak, women and children, only [-] Wen is enough. There are [-] households in our village. No matter what, there can be more than a hundred strong men, and if you count other things, you will definitely be able to collect enough taels of silver, and even a little more, if there are more, I will return it to you when the time comes, and it will definitely not be too bad."

"One hundred coins is not too much."

"That's right, including me and my son, the cost of my family is two hundred Wen, which is similar to what I said just now."

The population of Tongfu Village is not too thin, but it is not thick either, because the living conditions are there. Generally, including the parents, there are at most four or five strong men in a family, and the most money they have to pay is not more than five hundred. The most money is two hundred and three hundred, which is basically the same as expected.

There were very few people who came to the meeting with money, and only a few of them gave the money directly to the village chief. Watching the village chief write down their family names, they went back happily, just waiting for the temple. Get it fixed now and earn big money!

Once the temple is restored, more and more people will come to pray and worship Buddha in the future. If the villagers want those people to stay overnight, they have to spend more time in their own homes. If the environment at home is too poor, who would like to live there?It only takes more than a quarter of an hour to make an oxcart from Tongfu Village to the town, and you don't need to spend much time. In the future, those pilgrims would rather go to the town to stay in an inn than stay in the village. Today, the money is really worthless I paid it.
