Chapter 273: Looking for Calligraphy and Paintings
"I see. Zhou, Zhao and Li nodded at the same time, but their expressions were full of surprise.
Whether Li Xi does charity or not doesn't have much to do with them. But if you're willing to do it with them, the meaning is obviously different.
The purpose of Zhou, Zhao and Li to do charity is very clear, that is, to accumulate merit points. Accumulate 100 merit points, of course, the best. Once you have a hundred merit points, even if you die immediately, you can still get the qualification to enter the life of the Heavenly Court.
Even if you can't accumulate a hundred merit points, you can offset some of your sinful karma, and after you die, you won't be judged when you go to the underworld.
Not to mention, in the case of a relatively high merit value, even if it is less than a hundred points, it is relatively easy to find a job in the Yin Division of the Underworld.
The Yin Division of the Underworld recruits people, whether it is the underworld, the tour guide, or the employees of each division. The merit value of the candidate is an important indicator.
The higher the merit value, the easier it will be to apply for a job.
After all, the level of merit itself reflects a person's character. The better the character, the easier it will definitely be to find a job.
With someone like Li Xi who can communicate with the Yin Division of the Underworld at all times and do charity with them, first of all, you can ensure that the direction of their charity is correct, and they can get more merit points with the same amount of effort.
The three of them obviously thought of the benefits of Li Xi joining in, and said with a smile: "Brother Li is willing to join in, of course it is the best." ”
Li Xi said: "When you need to raise funds, tell me." ”
"That's, that's. Zhou, Zhao and Li agreed with a smile, and no one mentioned such a thing as helping Li Xi pay in advance.
It's not that they don't want to help Li Xi pay in advance, but to do charity to accumulate merit points, it must be who pays the money, and whose merit value will be increased in the end.
Li Xi asked the three of them in detail about the plan, how to do charity, but Zhou Zhao and Li had not yet thought about it.
As for the most common charities in general, such as raising a portion of the money. remit to an underdeveloped area, and let the local build a hope primary school. With the status of Zhou, Zhao and Li, they naturally know that such charity. It doesn't make much sense.
In fact, it is difficult to say whether this kind of charity, which is not very clear about the beneficiary, can accumulate merit points. It's better to go straight to the street and see the old man and the old lady begging. Give them alms.
Although these begging old men and old ladies are most likely just liars. However, the increase in merit value is not based on the true identity of the other person, but at the purpose of your own actions.
Not to mention, the so-called giving kindness, accumulating merit points, and helping others is, to the greatest extent, saving the urgent, not the poor.
Of course. It would be a different matter if it could lift others out of poverty once and for all.
You can't let people get rid of poverty completely, and when the other party lives in poverty, although they can't afford to eat meat, they won't starve to death, occasionally give him a meal of meat to eat, and occasionally improve the other party's life. This kind of kindness basically does not increase any merit value.
It's far better to see a person starving to death and give him a steamed bun.
There is too much difference between the emergency and the poor who cannot be saved.
These truths. With the age and sophistication of Zhou, Zhao and Li, they are much clearer than Li Xi.
Sending Zhou Zhao and Li away, Li Xi thought about it for a while, and still called Fang Yunzhu.
Fang Yunzhu received a call from Li Xi. Immediately rushed over.
Li Xi invited Fang Yunzhu to sit down at home, but before Fang Yunzhu could sit down, he couldn't help but ask Li Xi, "Mr. Li, the longevity pill you said ......"
"At your age, it doesn't seem that you need a longevity pill. Li Xi glanced at Fang Yunzhu. The Word of Doubt.
Fang Yunzhu is in Linshi, although she is also a successful woman, her age is really not very big. Right now, I'm only in my thirties and early thirties.
As soon as Fang Yunzhu heard this, he immediately became cramped. Although she is in Linshi, she can be regarded as a figure with a head and a face, but when facing a strange person like Li Xi, she still can't help but feel jealous from the bottom of her heart.
Hearing that Li Xi's tone seemed to be questioning, he immediately became apprehensive in his heart, and hurriedly explained: "Of course I don't need it myself, but Mr. Li, as you know, I am a businessman, and in the process of doing business, many things need to be taken care of." Especially in such a domestic environment, the bigger the business, the more interests will definitely be involved. If there is such a longevity pill, some joints that could not be opened will be easy to get through. ”
"Well, you're right. Li Xi listened to Fang Yunzhu's explanation, nodded, and then couldn't help but ponder.
Since this Fang Yunzhu got the Yanshou Pill for dotting, he was a little worried that the target of the other party's dotting was one of the three of Zhou Youzheng, Zhao Qianlong or Li Zhaocheng.
If it's one of the three, maybe it will affect you.
Li Xi wasn't very worried that the three of them would find trouble for themselves because he gave Fang Yunzhu a Life Extension Pill, the key was that he had just told the three of them that he didn't have the World Money in his hands, and it was not easy to get the Life Extension Pill for the time being.
If at this time, Fang Yunzhu was given one. Let the three of them know, maybe they will have other ideas.
"In this way, you go back first, I will keep the longevity pill for you first, and after a week, you will come back to me to get it." Li Xi stared at Fang Yunzhu, "Anyway, that longevity pill, you want to go over, it's not for your own use." In a short period of time, it is not needed. ”
Fang Yunzhu was stunned for a moment when she heard this, but she didn't dare to disobey Li Xi's intentions, and reluctantly agreed, "Okay then." Mr. Li, when am I going to come and pick it up in a week?"
"I'll let you know when the time comes, don't worry, it's next week, it won't be too long. Li Xi stood up and prepared to send off the guests.
When Fang Yunzhu saw this scene, he could only say goodbye and leave.
Li Xi sent the person away, thought about it, and called Li Zonglin.
This time he went to the Yin Division of the Underworld, and Li Xi got the most critical news of the two treasures, one is the clay pot of the Ming Dynasty, and the other is the picture of the Ming Dynasty.
The crockpot is fine, that picture, the characteristics are obvious, there is no harm in asking Li Zonglin. Of course, it's best to be able to find it, and you won't lose anything if you can't find it.
After getting through the phone, Li Xi greeted Li Zonglin and asked, "Mr. Li, have you ever heard of such a picture?" The date is in the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, and the content of the painting is the willow bank and the waning moon, and the lower right corner is stamped with the seal of a person named Wang Xuebin. ”
"Wang Xuebin?" Li Zonglin was obviously stunned for a moment after hearing this, "Is this person from the Ming Dynasty? ”
"This Wang Xuebin is not a celebrity. Li Xi explained with a smile, "Of course Mr. Li hasn't heard of it. ”
"It's not a celebrity, it's hard to find. Li Zonglin said: "Non-celebrity calligraphy and paintings are usually not valuable and have no collection value, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to pass them down." (To be continued.) )
