Zhu Fu, who walked into the flower hall, saw a man in his forties, lean, well-dressed, with a long black hairy mole on his left chin, sitting on a chair on the west, looking at Erlang's legs, and drinking tea with a blue and white porcelain tea cup. He didn't see the anxiety and displeasure in the expression on the other party's face, but instead increased his vigilance against the comer.

The position of the master is neither a petty official nor a petty official, nor does he eat the emperor's grain, but he is the most offended in the yamen. Not only can they give advice to the county magistrate and assist the work in the relevant yamen, but they also have a stomach full of bad water and bad ideas to rectify people. From time to time, they can still fake the tiger's might, pull the tiger skin and pull the banner, and they also play the role of matchmaking, and they are the secretaries next to the leaders in the future.

"I'm really sorry, I've kept Master Zhou waiting for a long time." Zhu Fu, who has never had a good deal with Wednesday and has never met before, is that he has the attitude of rather offending a gentleman than a villain, not because the other party has a certain amount of real power in the county government.

After drinking the tea, he slowly put the blue and white porcelain tea cup back in its place, and took the initiative to get up and return a salute. He looked polite, and did not show the same face as himself, and said arrogantly: "It's me who bothered me." ”

Zhu Fu, who was sitting on a chair to his left, did not sit in the master's seat because this was not his own place. He lives here temporarily, and he still knows the rules. Even if you want to take a sip of tea, you are embarrassed to ask the maid of the Lin Mansion who is serving here to serve you tea. Zhu Fu, who didn't pretend to be smart and spoke first, was very patient and waited for the other party to mention it first.

"Since the eldest master has already made a decision to rebuild the Taoist temple for the Taoist master, then he sent me to make relevant connections with you. Where is the specific location of the Taoist temple, what kind of construction is to be built, how much money is expected to be spent, and how long will the man-hours take...... I also hope that the Taoist chief will give a clear sign. As one of Qian Mingzheng's confidants, the yamen and the rivers and lakes are rich in experience, and he knows that the eldest lord of his own county not only values it, but also wants to use the young man in front of him to achieve the purpose of catering to the will.

It's not Zhu Fu who came out to mix with society on the first day, and I can't hear that he is asking for his own opinion, but in fact, it is just a matter of going through the motions. What's more, he was reluctant to live in the mountains again. He also understood that the bigger the government project, the more oil and water in it would be fished out, and he didn't plan to get a piece of the pie, so he said the words that cut tofu with a knife and cut both sides of the tofu, and there would never be a mistake: "Everything will be handled according to Lord Qian's instructions." If Master Zhou has any good suggestions, it doesn't hurt. For this reason, there is no need to say anything about the poor road, and it is just to do it. ”

With his right hand, he stroked the black hair on his mole, first "groaned" in his heart, and then relieved why the old man would value the young man in his twenties in front of him. Feeling that Zhu Fu was on the road and understood people, he saw that there were only two of them in this small flower hall, so he might as well say something explicit: "Since it is to build a Taoist temple, then it is to make great merits and benefit the people of the county and even their children and grandchildren, so you must not be careless." As the official of the county's parents, my family would not show down and stretch out his hand, so he decided to raise money from the county's public funds and the local gentry, and scraped together enough 100,000 taels of silver to do such a good deed for thousands of generations. It is particularly worth mentioning that Lin Zhengbei, a good person in this mansion, was the first to take the initiative to stand up and respond to the call of the eldest master, and directly donated 50,000 taels of silver. ”

Zhu Fu, who repeatedly warned himself to be calm, really didn't expect that they would play so big and make such a big move. What is the concept of 100,000 taels of silver? It is completely possible to build a magnificent Taoist palace. In addition, he really didn't expect that the Lin family was so rich that they almost threw silver as a stone, and he really couldn't care about the words "sin pity" at all.

Soon, Zhu Fu, who thought about it, felt that something was wrong at all. Even if Lin Zhengbei is a pious believer and cultivator, it can't erase the essence of a businessman in his bones, and he is heavy on profit. What's more, when you look at the other party, you are a hypocrisy. I didn't believe that the other party would throw out 50,000 taels of silver for no reason, and he didn't ask for anything in return, and his motives were simple, and it was not difficult to think that it was to cater to his wishes, so as to reach the heavens, in exchange for Emperor Jiajing's personal praise and others.

Zhu Fu, who guessed along this line of thought, estimated that Lin Zhengbei was also worried that people were afraid of being famous, and pigs were afraid of being strong. If you have too much money in your own house, it may not necessarily be a good thing. Spending these 50,000 taels of silver will have a chance to get a talisman given to the Lin family by the supreme ruler, and it will be completely worth the money. After all, once Emperor Jiajing recognized Lin Zhengbei's good deeds, it would also make the Lin family much more stable. Otherwise, the county that broke the family and the history of the assassination of the door can easily make a rich family jump. Moreover, Shen Wansan of this dynasty is also a lesson from the past. Therefore, whether the emperor has to approve or not is extremely important for the rich and noble family.

Zhu Fu originally had no intention of getting involved from beginning to end. Even if they rebuilt their own broken Taoist temple into a monk's temple, there was no dissatisfaction or dissent. He can see that now, he is chewing gum stuck to his hair, and he can't pull it off. Presumably, Qian Mingzheng and Lin Zhengbei had already talked and traded in private, and then hit it off, so they had to push themselves to the forefront to take the position of the new master. As a bridge between the two of them, they can finally achieve a win-win situation and reach a certain level of trust between them.

"In this way, Master Zhou will suffer a lot in the days to come. After all, Xiaodao is ignorant of all these mundane things in the world. I just want the new dojo to not fall for a hundred years, and I will be satisfied. Nothing else. Zhu Fu, who said very tactfully, expressed most clearly that he would not interfere, you can do whatever you like, but you don't want them to be insatiable, it is not good to make a tofu scum project collapse and crush people to death, after all, you and your work still have to live there.

Wednesday, who is transparent when he listens to it, likes to speak to people who understand and are smart without effort, and it also shows that the interests are even: "Although Daochang Zhu can rest assured, there will be no mistakes." Not only will the Taoist temple not fall for a hundred years, but Zhou will definitely follow the old rules. ”
