Chapter 1553 - Blind Date by Person
readx;?“ Ms. Ye, the poor monk's secular surname Liu, her name Pu, and her legal name Shi Yuan, is the heir of the White Lotus Temple on the Bund in Shanghai of the Pure Land White Lotus Sect......"
Our Miss Yiren is now sitting in an elegant temple, facing a young monk in a robe, her face ...... Naturally, the iron is as black as black, and in his heart is a force that is cursing the late Emperor Zhu Jishi and the nosy Shanghai Government Family Planning Commission. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Ms. Ye, this is the mage of the Pure Land White Lotus Sect on the Bund White Lotus Temple in Shanghai...... Our blind date event is sponsored by the White Lotus Temple on the Bund in Shanghai." Venerable Shi Yuan is the heir to this temple. "The one who spoke was a middle-aged uncle, who was an official of the Shanghai Provincial Family Planning Commission, but was one of the people who didn't do business, and spent all day thinking about letting the girls in Shanghai get married and have more children.
After coming to this time and space for several months, the Chinese government agencies that Miss Ye came into contact with, in addition to the foreign affairs and immigration departments at the beginning, and the imperial ** team that was massacring African people, was probably this family planning commission, unlike another very busy government agency, the Chinese government in this time and space seemed to be very "leisurely". There is neither a large-scale urban operation and construction, nor the three rural issues that concern the great leaders of the party and the state, nor the spring breeze of reform and opening up blowing in all corners of the motherland. The leaders of the Ming Empire, as well as the Southern Zhili Province and the Shanghai Prefecture, also rarely appeared on television and newspapers. The only thing that is busier is the Family Planning Commission...... Miss Ye and dozens of girls from the Shanghai Guangfu store of Jardine Matheson Department Store were mobilized by the Shanghai Family Planning Commission and the Shanghai Federation of Department Store Workers to participate in this blind date activity today.
'Okay, go on a blind date, just go on a blind date. It's not like Miss Ben hasn't had a boyfriend. But ...... with a flower monk, Ye Yiren looked at the monk in front of him with an ugly face, and the monk looked good. Fine skin and tender meat, good facial features, quite a bit of Tang monk Tang monk's demeanor, but I don't know the monk's face, who knows that it is a flower monk!
Liu ...... Venerable Shi Yuan, you are a monk, this, this...... Can I get married? Ye Yiren asked with a frown.
"Monk...... Of course, monks can get married. Otherwise, where did the little monk come from? The solemn monk replied solemnly. The so-called Pure Land White Lotus Sect is the White Lotus Sect of "red flowers, green leaves, and white lotus roots" back then. In the process of Zhu Jishi's restoration of vision, he also absorbed many disciples of the White Lotus Sect, so after the success of the restoration of vision, the White Lotus Sect also became a legitimate religion, and gradually evolved into two major branches, the Pure Land White Lotus Sect and the Tianli Dao, one belongs to Buddhism, worshipping Maitreya Buddha. One belongs to Taoism and worships the unborn mother. However, the privatization of temples and the hereditary system of monks (Taoists) were implemented, which was not learned from the Pure Land Shinshu sect in Japan, but was a tradition since the founding of the White Lotus religion. In fact, the White Lotus Sect, which was founded in the Song Dynasty, and the Pure Land Shinshu of Japan, which was founded around the same time. Both are branches of the Pure Land sect of Buddhism, and they are technically a school. So the way things go in a very similar way. Monks are not forbidden to marry and have children to inherit the temple.
"Uh......" Ye Yiren was stunned, and recalled in his heart how Chinese monks were born in another time and space? It shouldn't be a big monk giving birth to a small monk, right?
"This temple is...... Can it be inherited? He asked again.
"Of course you can inherit it, the Pure Land White Lotus Sect and the Pure Land True Sect of Buddhism, the Shenxiao Sect, the Heavenly Master Sect, the Shinto Sect, and the temples and Taoist temples of the Heavenly Path of Taoism are all inheritances." The "matchmaker" of the Family Planning Commission hurriedly explained with a smile.
Unlike the state cadres who serve the people in another time and space, most of the officials of the Ming Empire in this time and space are good at falsification, and on the surface they have no official pretensions, let alone the deputy chief of the Marriage Promotion Section of the Family Planning Commission, that is, the Prime Minister Zuo of the Ming Empire's cabinet has to go to the streets to communicate cordially with voters during every general election.
Ye Yiren has not been in this time and space for a long time, and he has not encountered the election, so he has the feeling that the politicians and officials of the Ming Dynasty do not show up in fact In fact, the politicians and officials of the Ming Dynasty are also very busy, and the reason why they "do not show up" is because the private media of the Ming Dynasty is not very responsible and open-minded for money, and the current people of Greater China are not interested in politics. In most cases, it is difficult for politicians to attract the attention of the people, so the media is not happy to waste limited space and time for them, and only during the general election will the political parties pay for political advertisements to increase the exposure of politicians.
Of course, politicians and officials are a very eye-catching topic, and compared with another time and space, the political arena and officialdom of Greater China and the Ming Dynasty are obviously quite dark! Eh, this is the conclusion that Ye Yiren came to after watching movies and TV series! Of course, there are no Hollywood and American dramas to watch in this time and space, but the film and television industry is still quite developed, and all kinds of blockbusters are overwhelming...... There were very few pirated copies in Greater China in this era, so it took Ye Yiren a lot of silver. And in these movies and TV series, all the themes involving politics are basically the Greater China version of "The Appearance of Officialdom", what parliamentarians are corrupt, officials are taking bribes, election fraud, family politics and even exposing the corrupt life of the royal family (of course, the people of this time and space do not think that emperors and kings have many women who are corrupt)! It really opened Ye Yiren's eyes, and at the same time, it also made her miss the original time and space when the politics were clear and the officials were wholeheartedly for the people.
However, nostalgia is nostalgia, looking at the current situation, most of them can't go back, and they can only plan to live in this imperialist Greater China for a long time, which is also the reason why they agree to participate in this blind date activity Although Ye Yiren will not regard being a housewife as a modern professional woman with a goal in life, but getting married and having a child is still an acceptable way of life for her......
But marrying or falling in love with a monk is really beyond her imagination.
"Don't have a favorite? That's a shame, I hope you can be satisfied next time. The organizer of this blind date, the sesame official of the Shanghai Family Planning Commission, after Miss Ye rejected the monk, went on to introduce ten non-religious people to her, but none of them could enter Ye Yiren's eyes. Either they are too old or their economic foundation is not solid enough.
Through newspapers and television, it is already known that the economy of the Great Chinese Empire has been sluggish for 3o years, and that the era of high growth is gone with the arrival of an aging population and a declining population. In the eyes of Yiren, who specializes in the business of Indian tourists, the economic prosperity of this Greater China is not even comparable to that of Indian countries with a population of 1.4 billion! Although India in this time and space does not seem to have escaped British colonial rule, the upper echelons of the country are almost exclusively white Europeans, and most of their customers are also white, and they speak standard London-accented English, mostly descendants of white British people who followed Victoria I to India, and some later emigrated from Europe.
Through the conversations with these guests and the information on the Internet, it is known that India in this time and space has developed quite well, there are no dirty and messy cities, no chaotic religious conflicts, not even Pakistan, and certainly no evil bourgeois democratic white Indians firmly hold power, and even seize the power of several of the largest and richest Indian princely states through marriage and adopted son inheritance, and control most of the land of the Indian Empire. And it is very well managed, and the cities of New Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Karachi, Lahore, Bangalore and other cities are full of modern atmosphere, with wide streets, high-rise buildings, and a thriving real estate market.
If calculated at the official exchange rate, the average house price in a large city in India is 1o times that of a large city in Daming! And their per capita GDP is also close to 12ooo Chinese dollars, almost one-third of the per capita GDP of Greater China, reaching the level of moderately developed countries in this time and space, according to Ye Yiren's estimates, the purchasing power of this time and space Huayuan is about 5 to 6 times that of another time and space, compared with the big meat buns with a lot of meat and Sanlu brand milk without melamine...... And the per capita wage income level of Daming in this time and space is about 25oo yuan to 3ooo yuan, which is equivalent to 10,000 yuan in another time and space. However, in the impression of people, the Chinese in this time and space are not much richer than in another time and space.
Due to the long-term depression in asset prices caused by the aging population and the rapid decline of the population, the number and wealth of billionaires in Greater China in this time and space are far less than in another time and space, and the net worth of tens of billions is already rare, and most of them are rich in the oil and technology industries.
As for ordinary people, in the eyes of Yiren, they are even less wealthy, at least there is no way to compare them with her relatives and friends in another time and space. Having assets of one or two million Chinese dollars is already considered a middle-class family, and owning tens of millions of assets is almost a small rich! Although the average income of the people in this time and space is not low, because it is customary for women not to work after marriage, it needs to be divided by two, that is, the per capita wage income equivalent to 10,000 yuan is only equivalent to 7 or 8 thousand in another time and space. After deducting taxes and social security, it is even less, and it is really not enough to afford the expenses of a family of three or four. Moreover, in Yiren's view, the wage income of Chinese in this time and space has a somewhat average trend, and the income of ordinary front-line workers and middle-level white-collar workers in companies is not much different, and most of the men who meet with Yiren today have a monthly income of more than 3,000, and there is no workaholic Yiren earning much! On the contrary, the monk can earn more than 1oooo per month......
This is probably the main reason why Miss Yiren and other girls who participate in blind date activities feel that Ruyi Langjun is difficult to find, right? (To be continued......)
