Chapter 102 - The Stakes Are Serious (Seeking the First Decision)

Accompanied by Zhu Daolin, Gonggong Wu came to Ziyang Temple, and was warmly received by Xuanqing Daoist and others, and after greeting each other, they visited the unfinished Sanqing Hall together.

Daoist Xuanqing and the others knew in their hearts that Duke Wu did not look noble as a lord like Xu Hongji, Duke of Wei, but as a loyal servant of the emperor's favor, he sat in Nanjing, and the power in his hands was far above that of a noble like Duke Wei.

As a young eunuch in Nanjing, Gonggong Wu is also in charge of the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Tongyuan Bureau, and it is estimated that he also serves as the controversial supervisor of the Dongchang Factory, and the Yulinwei in his hands alone is a real 5,000 people, not to mention the privilege and secret power to supervise and arrest subjects at will without going through the judicial yamen.

Everyone came to uncover the red and yellow silk cloth of the Sanqing statue to pay homage, Wu Gonggong looked up at the majestic and solemn Sanqing statue was extremely moved, and specially asked Zhu Daolin, the golden gilt on the Sanqing body, the lifelike red, yellow and blue robes and inlaid gold and silver threads, is it real gold and silver?

After receiving an affirmative reply, Gonggong Wu couldn't help but sigh.

The Xuanqing Dao Chang and others on the side were even more proud, just the casting process of the Sanqing God Statue and the unprecedented color gilding process were enough to crown the world.

After visiting the five main halls, the satisfied Wu Gonggong insisted on leaving 100 taels of silver incense money, and under the Yin Yin farewell of a group of Taoist priests in Ziyang Temple, he took the luxury four-wheeled carriage that Zhu Daolin had just given back to the city with a spring breeze.

The five four-wheeled carriages brought by Zhu Daolin this time, except for one that remained in Ziyangguan for his own use, already had their own owners, Wu Gonggong was one of them, and the other three were given to Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, Zhang Gongwei, the Marquis of Longping, and Zhang Deyi, the little marquis.

After sending off Wu Gonggong and his entourage, Zhu Daolin reported to his master Xuanqing, his second master Bo Xuanji and his fifth uncle Xuanfang that he was peeping at the dock, and relayed the inside story and relevant analysis of Wu Gonggong's investigation in detail. just temporarily concealed the news that he promised Gonggong Wu to become an official.

Xuan Qing and the others were taken aback after hearing this, they all thought that the matter was important and they had to come up with countermeasures, and Xuan Yue Dao Chang rushed to the Zizhu Courtyard Medical Center to practice medicine in the morning, and he had no time to inform him, so Xuan Qing Dao Chang had to hurriedly gather everyone to discuss.

After half an hour of repeated discussions, the three Xuanqing Dao Chiefs agreed. Zhu Daolin proposed that the response method of "pretending not to know and standing still" is the most feasible and beneficial, and it is undoubtedly the best choice at present to hand over this thorny matter to Wei Guogong, Marquis Longping, and Wu Gonggong.

In order to ensure the safety of Ziyang Temple and all industries, the three Xuanqing Dao Chiefs made three decisions together after repeated trade-offs:

First, after sending away 20,000 displaced people, 300 elites were selected from the 1,200 young guards left behind to keep for a long time. Led by the head of the Xuanfang Dao in charge, equipped with the best weapons, they patrol in three shifts for twelve hours a day;

Second, to speed up the establishment of the Ziyang Martial Arts Pavilion, 50 good seedlings with good health and brains and clever brains can be selected from among the more than 2,800 children who have converted to the Shangqing Sect, and Zhu Daolin will impart civil and military knowledge according to the new method, and Xuanji Daoist will serve as the superintendent of the martial arts hall. Six people, including Jade Dragon and Jade Tiger, served as martial arts instructors;

Third, Zhu Daolin was allowed to be among the 800 orphans in Zizhuyuan Yixue. 20 outstanding people were accepted as disciples and sent to the Ziyang Martial Arts Hall under construction on the east side of Hushan Manor, where they studied and taught together with the 50 disciples of the Martial Arts Hall.

At the end of the meeting, Zhu Daolin, who had gained the most, returned to the west hut to meet Zhao Xunting and saw that all the goods had been transported. Ying Changpei did not leave, and immediately stepped forward to ask if there was anything else.

Ying Changpei said unhurriedly: "Deyi took the first step and asked the young master of the Yan family to help you raise food, according to your requirements, you need to distribute food seeds to more than 20,000 displaced people who have returned to their hometowns." If you need 50,000 bags of rice, how can you do it if you don't go back and raise it? ”

Zhu Daolin patted his head and smiled apologetically: "I forgot to ask for a rice bag, thanks to the third brother's carefulness, otherwise I would definitely be caught off guard." ”

Ying Changpei smiled, pointed to the large warehouse that had been emptied at the foot of the mountain and asked, "I heard Brother Meng Shan, the Daoists of Ziyang Temple plan to build the winery there?" ”

"That's right, tomorrow I have to move to the newly built main courtyard on the other side of the mountain, and my master and they will also move to the Taoist courtyard behind the Medicine God Temple, after this place is vacated, more than 20 wine-making craftsmen selected from the displaced people will be stationed, the warehouse needs to be converted into three workshops, a fence will be built around it, and two deep wells will be dug to ensure the cleanliness of the water source, and the mountain will be sunken in the back, and a big cave will be used as a wine cellar for storing wine, all of which add up, I am afraid that I will not be able to finish the day and night of hard work in a month." Zhu Daolin told Ying Changpei in detail about the planning of the brewery.

Ying Changpei was quite envious: "This place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, surrounded by bamboo and wood, which is very suitable for building a winery, and the mountain spring tastes good, and when you drink tea, you know that the spring water here is particularly good." ”

Zhao Xunting said with a smile: "This side of the Shogunate Mountain is relatively gentle, you can see the big trees that have grown for hundreds of years everywhere, and the mountains are lush all over the field, so the spring water is continuous all year round, gathering into a stream, and it is sweet and sweet to drink directly, and the wine produced must be good." ”

"There is also a spring at the foot of Tiger Mountain behind my newly built yard, on the stone platform under the big ginkgo tree halfway up the mountain, and the two springs flowing down the mountain converge together, and a little tidying up is the clear pool of five zhang square, the next step I plan to get back a batch of copper pipes and copper valves, and introduce the spring water into the two yards of me and Brother Mengshan, and you don't need to carry water for cooking, bathing and washing clothes in the future, and the same is true for Ziyangguan, haha!"

Zhu Daolin deliberately provoked and teased Ying Changpei, the first few times he chatted, Zhu Daolin mentioned the tap water and underground drainage system of Tianshu Pavilion, Ying Changpei and Zhang Deyi yearned for it, and now they can be used in Ziyangguan and Hushan Manor.

Ying Changpei was really envious and was about to be jealous, knowing that Zhu Daolin deliberately teased him, he had to admit that Zhu Daolin was really good at enjoying it: "I heard that you brought 200 boxes of big glass?" Can you give me some evenness? I had to change a few windows in the study, otherwise it would have to be lit when it got a little dark. ”

"Okay, how much do you want to ask Brother Mengshan to help you cut it according to the size, otherwise you won't be able to cut it even if you move back." Zhu Daolin said with a smile.

Ying Changpei, who was unbalanced in his heart, immediately took an inch: "Where's my new book?" What about embroidered scripts? Didn't you say last time that you would bring me tens of thousands of sets this time? It's the peak season of the Spring Festival, and it's the Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye. ”

Zhu Daolin thought for a moment: "I'll inform you the day after tomorrow, okay!" Let's go back to the city, and tomorrow you will accompany me to meet a few Franco. ”

Zhao Xunting hurriedly explained: "I'll go to the courtyard under Tiger Mountain to watch, otherwise I won't worry, I won't accompany you, I will go back to Zizhuyuan in the afternoon of the Lantern Festival, and I won't miss the evening party." ”
