Chapter 543: Choosing Shangxiang between going up and going to work

"Our Confucian family has been inherited for a hundred years, and the descendants of the main vein are all over the world, and every year on the first day of the tenth lunar month, our Confucian family will burn incense and worship their ancestors, which has never been broken for a hundred years."

"I hope that after Tang Xiaoyou's Tianmu Dao Palace opens to welcome guests, he can give the first incense on the first day of the tenth lunar month to our Confucian family every year."

Facing Tang Yuan's attention, Kong Tingshan slowly said his conditions.

The Chinese nation's habit of sweeping tombs and worshiping ancestors can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty at the earliest, and ordinary people still attach importance to it, not to mention a big family like the Confucian family, every time they worship their ancestors, they must be solemn and solemn to the extreme.

Kong Tingshan put forward such a condition, which made Tang Yuan feel a little surprised, and he felt a little taken for granted.

These extremely precious and rare coins in the world must be very difficult for Kong Tingshan to collect, but in the face of the overall interests of the family, personal preferences are insignificant.

Kong Tingshan is now nearly eighty years old, and in the entire Kong family, even if the seniority is not the highest, it is also the top existence, so it is natural to consider the overall development and continuation of the family.

It's just that Tang Yuan was a little surprised that the Tianmu Dao Palace had just been built, and even the foundation had not yet been laid, and now some people were already thinking about the head incense of the Tianmu Dao Palace?

If it is said that sweeping the tomb and worshiping the ancestors is a tradition handed down by the Chinese nation since ancient times, then offering incense to pray to God and worship Buddha is also a tradition handed down by the Chinese nation since ancient times.

Everything can be incensed.

Ancestors need incense, housewarming needs incense, education needs incense, entrepreneurship needs incense, sickness needs incense, burial needs incense, and children need incense......

In the past, incense was only a habit of the older generation, but now I don't know when it began, and the habit of not asking for incense in the temple has gradually begun to get younger.

The new generation of young people, between being motivated and going to work, chose Shangxiang.

This is a joke, and it is also the status quo.

Under this trend, those more famous temples and Taoist temples, incense has become more and more prosperous.

For ordinary people, it is enough to simply pray for blessings, but for those who are at the height of power, they will not be satisfied, and only incense can meet their needs.

Because in the traditional inherent thinking, everyone thinks that the head incense is the most effective, the most direct to the heavens, so that in recent years, whenever there is a special day coming, those more famous temples and Taoist temples, before the dawn will be people lined up in a long line, just fight for that incense, and there are even rumors that the first incense of a Taoist temple on the first day of the new year is worth as much as one million.

Tianmu Dao Palace, as the largest investment in the history of Taoist cultural holy land, and has the authentic relics of the Taoist ancestors as the treasure of the town palace, since the signing ceremony of Tianmu Dao Palace, has been concerned and looked forward to by countless people at home and abroad.

The head incense of Tianmu Dao Palace, many people must be thinking about it, Tang Yuan knew this, but he never thought that someone would start to fight the idea of Tianmu Dao Palace head incense now, which couldn't help but make Tang Yuan faintly doubt whether he was a hunter or a prey on this trip.

He is thinking about Kong Tingshan's treasures, will Kong Tingshan also remember the head incense of Tianmu Dao Palace in his hand a long time ago?

Tang Yuan's thoughts were wandering, the reality was only a short moment, he pondered for a moment, and then responded to Kong Tingshan: "Old Kong, I can agree to your condition, provided that you have a deadline." ”

There are many traditional days of ancestor worship in the Chinese nation, Chinese New Year's Eve, the second day of the first month, the Lantern Festival, Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival, Zhongyuan, Chongyang, Winter Clothes, Winter Solstice, Laba, these are all traditional ancestral worship days, and the first day of the tenth lunar month mentioned by Kong Tingshan, that is, the traditional Winter Clothes Festival, compared with the big days of Qingming, Zhongyuan, and Chongyang, it is undoubtedly much niche, so giving it to the Kong family is simply insignificant for Tang Yuan.

In addition to the days of ancestor worship, there are many head incense on special days, which are flocked to by countless people, Tang Yuan, as the owner of Tianmu Dao Palace, can be used to exchange for resources in the future.

Sometimes, the more people in high positions, the more they believe in traditional metaphysics.

Examples like this have been seen a lot in Tang Yuan's past and present lives.

There are people who have really learned in this way, and they are basically guests of many dignitaries, and it is not a joke to make money and earn cramps.

Facing Tang Yuan's answer, Kong Tingshan knew that it was impossible for him to fish in troubled waters, he thought for a moment, slowly raised his five fingers and said, "Tang Xiaoyou, what do you think of fifty years?" ”

When Tang Yuan heard this, he directly smiled and shook his head: "Old Kong, if you say that I will be free to let me choose three of your ten coins for free, you say that fifty years will be fifty years." ”

Naturally, it is impossible to be free, just his ten coins, pick three out at random, and the total price will be steadily over 100 million, although Kong Tingshan has a rich family, but it is not enough to give away hundreds of millions of things in vain.

"Okay."

"Thirty years, that's always okay, right?"

Kong Tingshan didn't say anything superfluous, he silently put away his two fingers and asked Tang Yuan again.

Tang Yuan still shook his head: "Old Kong, although the Winter Clothes Festival is not as good as Qingming and Zhongyuan, it is a traditional festival after all, and I will give you fifteen years at most." ”

"Twenty-five years?"

"Fifteen years!"

"Tang Xiaoyou, these coins are all old and decrepit treasures!"

"Old Kong, the day I built the Tianmu Dao Palace, it is the world's largest Taoist holy land, and in the future, I will let the Tianmu Dao Palace seal the mountain for two hours for your Confucian family on the Winter Clothes Festival, so as to burn incense and worship your ancestors.

"Yes...... But fifteen years is a bit too short! ”

……

When Tang Yuan said this, Kong Tingshan's momentum suddenly weakened.

However, whenever the picture that Tang Yuan had just described appeared in Kong Tingshan's mind, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

If this is the case, he will see those old guys again in a few days, but he can show off well, not to mention that they will be envious to the point of redness, at least he will have to be sour for a while.

Thinking of this, Kong Tingshan became slightly entangled.

Finally, after a few minutes of ideological struggle, Kong Tingshan raised his eyes and looked at Tang Yuan again: "Tang Xiaoyou, I use our Kong family's favor, can I change it for ten more years?" ”

Tang Yuan, who was holding a cup and wanted to drink tea to moisten his throat, couldn't help but pause when he heard Kong Tingshan's words, and then he put down the teacup, looked at Kong Tingshan and said, "Old Kong, are you serious?" ”

"Naturally, take it seriously!"

Kong Tingshan bowed slightly, his expression solemn.

"In this case, the first incense of the Tianmu Dao Palace in the next thirty years will be owned by the Kong family."

Tang Yuan looked at Kong Tingshan and said solemnly.

"Hahaha!"

"That's great!"

"It's a deal!"
