37, the new upstart fights the old rich - empty Confucian Temple
The car babbled forward, and soon arrived in front of the Confucian Temple, Liu Zhisi saw that the platform had been set up, and several workers were making canvas roofs to protect them from the wind and rain.
With the support of Jin Se, Liu Zhisi got out of the car, and the two of them came to the side of the stage, the stand was about one person high, and the bottom was supported by scaffolding made of sticks, etc., and several children were playing underneath.
Liu Zhisi called a follower and instructed him not to let people enter under this platform, what if it collapsed and the child was crushed? You go around again to see if the scaffolding is strong and doesn't leave any hidden dangers.
After the two things are ordered, follow the answer.
Liu Zhisi and Jin Se stepped onto the stage, and when they looked around, they had a wide field of vision. After getting off the stage, he called another follower and said: "The slope of this step is too steep, and it is still a little shaky when going up and down, and it is not strong enough, so it can be used temporarily, but it will definitely not work tomorrow, those people in the county government are pampered, once they fall, they are embarrassed, not to mention, who will take responsibility if they break people." Immediately ask someone to make the slope of the steps slower, at least the seventh step, now this is only the fifth step, and it is still a little unstable, you wait for them to do a good job, come back in the afternoon to check again, there is no problem, and then go back to me. "Then he received his command.
After the matter was arranged, Liu Zhisi and Jin Se came to the door of the Confucian Temple next to it, and saw that the gate was locked, and although the lock was rusty, the rust on it had been wiped off. Liu Zhisi is curious about who will wipe it?
Jin Se called a workman and asked, "Who has been here lately?" ”
The worker's reply said that a few days ago we were setting up a platform here, and a boy came, and at first glance he was not dressed in an ordinary family, and he and a servant went around here for a while, and wiped the rust on the lock with a handkerchief, but did not go in. Hi! Actually, he can't get in, no one has been in since he locked it three years ago. ”
After Liu Zhisi heard this, he thought to himself, who could this person be? I think someone came to see the Temple of Literature, and saw that the iron lock on the door was too rusty, and I couldn't bear it, so I wiped it with a handkerchief, and it seems that he is also an infatuated person! Liu Zhisi looked inside through the crack in the door again, and it was actually weeds growing wildly, and the broken tiles were submerged, obviously no one had entered for a long time, and there must have been snakes and insects all over the place. But as you can imagine from the magnificent hall, it was once prosperous here, but now it is so ruined.
No one can see the scene of decay without sympathy, Liu Zhisi is no exception, she thinks that the roots of the Chinese nation are broken, whose fault is this? And the churches in the West have never been like this, and they have been prosperous for a long time, whose work is this?
That's it! Whether it is the Temple of Literature, or the church, the East and the West, the prosperity and decline of the merits and demerits, what does it have to do with my willow thoughts, why should I care, thinking of this, I returned to peace.
Liu Zhisi asked the worker again: "Where have all the people who used to live here gone?" ”
The worker said: "Miss Hui, in the past, the people here used to be in charge of a former Qing Dynasty lifter, who died five years ago, and the lives of other people were slowly lost, and they left here one after another, losing incense, losing donations, and not living well, so there was no one living anymore." ”
Liu Zhisi knew that there was incense in the Confucian Temple in the past, but since the imperial examination was canceled eight years ago, the incense is declining, and there is no squire funding, and the government is no longer able to manage it, so the temple will not slowly go to the temple. Then he said to the man, "If any more people come here to investigate, ask them where they came from, and then report to me." ”
The workman hurriedly said, "Okay, the little one has been written down." ”
Liu Zhisi took out five pieces of ocean and rewarded them to the worker, saying: "It's a hot day, hard work, buy a pot of wine to drink." ”
The worker, Le Dian, took the money and said, "Miss Xie, reward." Then he shouted loudly to a few workers: "Miss will reward my brother with a few wine money, let's drink in the evening." ”
They all said, "Thank you, Miss, thank you, Miss." ”
Liu Zhisi smiled and led the group to leave.
