Chapter 187

In the era of the information explosion, there are many mature methods for reference, and there are dozens of folk wild ways alone, not to mention more, there is no pressure for 120,000 believers to deceive.

And the poor people who were deceived at that time, the lowest education was also the grandparents who had experienced literacy classes in the field, and university graduates and even master's degrees with high academic qualifications can be seen everywhere, not to mention the current Ming Dynasty in 1444?

So before talking to Lao Yang, Yang Shangjing has been flipping through these "advanced postures" in his heart, such as doctrinal settings, such as religious promotion methods, and how to recruit a few bull role models to promote, such as Yu Qian Yu Tingyi, a benchmark among literati, as long as they speak, they will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, and then there will be no other need, the most economically developed provinces in the Ming Dynasty all believe in Lao Cai, don't they all believe in him Yang Shangjing?

Just thinking about it, Uncle Zhong walked in outside and said in a low voice, "Young Master, Lao Cai is here." ”

Yang Shangjing sat there, his frowning brows stretched, rubbed his temples, nodded and said, "Let him come in." ”

Uncle Zhong answered, turned around and beckoned, Lao Cai, who was dressed in a Taoist robe, walked in with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and was about to kneel down as soon as he lifted his clothes, Yang Shangjing hurriedly raised his hand and drank: "You have a magic robe in this matter, you must not kneel, sit down and talk." ”

Although there are no taboos for atheists at the time, but in the feudal era of the Ming Dynasty, there should always be people who follow the customs, for example, when this Taoist priest wears a magic robe, he can't kneel to him as a county commander, otherwise he will lose his life...... Forget it, don't pull it, in fact, Lao Cai's magic robe is too bright, if he kneels on the ground with a bang, he doesn't get it right, and the hem is stained with some dust, and it doesn't look good when he goes out, which hinders his prestige.

Looking up and down at Lao Cai's appearance, Yang Shangjing's eyes lit up, and he asked in a deep voice: "Lao Cai, when you entered the city, what did the people around you say?" ”

Although the current Huangyan County is not poor, it does not have any special products, and the wharf on the Yongning River is prosperous, so there are only a few monks here, and there are not many people who can afford Lao Cai's robe of burning buns, plus Lao Cai is coming down from the mountains in the south, which will definitely remind people of Cai Xianchang, who has recently made a great deal of power.

"Back to the young master's words, it's too noisy, and I can't hear anything clearly, and the few words that come into my ears are just 'fairy wind bones', but if I think about it, I have to pass on the purpose of the old servant's coming here afterwards, and then speculate." Lao Cai grinned, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth, obviously not a master of brushing his teeth, "It's just that content, the old servant deduced, and it is nothing more than about the old servant asking the young master for advice on the method of subduing demons." ”

Yang Shangjing's eyes lit up more and more, this kind of calculation is simply a good seedling of a magic stick, if you don't support it, it will be a tyrannical thing.

So Yang Shangjing nodded with satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "Let me ask you, if I ask you to put down gunpowder research now and become a Taoist priest full-time, would you be willing?" ”

Lao Cai is a little confused, he has been making gunpowder for most of his life, his skills are all ancestral, and he is also a number one craftsman in the Yang family, and now Yang Shangjing asked him to change his career to become a Taoist priest, is it harsh to blame him for not doing his job, or is it ...... Do you really want him to change careers?

So Lao Cai raised his head, looked at Uncle Zhong's face, and then looked at Yang Shangjing's expression, and found that there were no other expressions, all with a smile on his face, so he gritted his teeth and replied: "The old servant is not loyal, the old Cai family has more than a dozen people, all relying on the main family to survive, if there was no help from the main family back then, the ancestors would not be able to enter the soil for peace, and there could be no old servants These people, as long as it is the young master's will, the old servants all follow." ”

Lao Cai's words are not excessive, his grandfather's generation back then, all relied on the help of the Yang family to survive, entered the family as a slave, and has always been there for more than 100 years now, otherwise the deadly craft of gunpowder would not be able to be handed over to him, after all, there is a random two or five boys in this group of craftsmen, and the Yang family is the rhythm of the whole family.

So Yang Shangjing smiled and said: "That's good, now you have some reputation in Huangyan County, I have written a letter yesterday, and I will invite Daoist Li who led you into the Taoist Gate to come here to preside over the confession and rituals of the Taoist temple, you can follow him to study these, let you be a Taoist, can you rely on some small wits on the spot, and there must be some ink in your chest, otherwise with your current means, you can't even recognize the Qiankun and the Kanli, and you can't tell the difference, if you do the real 'Cai Xianchang'?" Otherwise, if someone comes to smash the field, won't they just sit on the wax. ”

When Lao Cai heard this, his eyes widened, and they were full of divine light, and the young master of his feelings let himself be a living immortal? That's not even a lot of money! As for those famous avenues near Jian'an, wasn't there thousands of incense money earned that month? Even if it is cut off by two percent, it can make his old Cai family turn over in an instant.

Then I heard Yang Shangjing say: "When you have learned the scriptures and rituals, I will push you up with the power of the government, and you will really be a living immortal, and it is possible to be enshrined by building temples and temples in the future, but it is ......"

"The old servant will definitely devote himself to learning, and he will never live up to the cultivation of the young master." Lao Cai immediately began to gamble and swear, being built a temple and building a shrine is a trivial matter, money, money! Huang Chengcheng's treasure, that's what a poor craftsman at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty wants to get.

Yang Shangjing looked at Lao Cai's tone, buckled the table, and continued: "Well, since you are dedicated to learning, I will also give you some convenience, and I will send you some Taoist classics tomorrow, you can read them yourself first, so as to have an impression, so as not to get a black eye when you really learn." ”

Lao Cai nodded like pecking rice, watched Yang Shangjing take a sip of the teacup, and obediently stood up to say goodbye, Yang Shangjing waved his hand and commanded: "Now that Cai Xian is long, he can't be as shabby as usual, so he will ask the county government to send you back to the mountain.......

"The old servant can save it." Lao Cai nodded heavily, bowed deeply, and then retreated.

Uncle Zhong stood behind Yang Shangjing and asked in a low voice, "What does young master mean......"

"Taoist rituals are broad and profound, if there is no two years of study, Lao Cai will not be able to learn." Yang Shangjing stood up, turned to the back house, and smiled as he walked, "Two years later, Jian will definitely sit firmly in the position of Nalangzhong, and when the time comes, with the power of the government, Lao Cai will not be an immortal, but also a land immortal." ”
