Hong Kong Zongli Monks

Chapter 362 Primary Construction Completed

However, in the next year, Chi Heng considered building a wharf and buying a passenger ship.

When I got to the beach, I saw that the people in the village were still on the other side. The road to the Taoist Temple changed a few times, and it seemed that another road needed to be built.

After thinking about it, go to the village.

"Sir, rare guest, I don't know what's going on!"

It has been so long since the Taoist temple was built, Zhixing has never been in the village, but the villagers would go up to offer incense from time to time.

So Village Chief Wu was shocked when he saw Zhixing.

"I want to build a road directly to the Taoist temple and build a pier there. Do you know anyone who does this?"

"Have you received pilgrims? I heard from the village that many people have been asked when our village was built!"

"Yeah, after the pier is ready to be built and the road repaired, anyone can come to offer incense!"

"However, all I know is that it is okay to build a private house, but I really can't do a project as big as a wharf!"

It seems unrealistic to build a reinforced concrete wharf at this time. First of all, there is a lack of resources, and it is difficult to buy cement and steel bars.

"If so, I'll go out of the city and find someone to do it!"

"Yeah, there should be someone in the city who can do it. I know you want to help our village, but they are all uneducated fishermen who don't understand this!"

"Indeed, if anyone in the village can do it, I'll do it for you!"

"We don't understand. Besides, if you build the pier, if guests come, the hundred and ten people in our village will also benefit!"

Although it is called a village, there are less than [-] households, and there are probably more than a hundred people, which is about the same as the population of the Taoist temple!
"By the way, how about fishing in your village!"

"That's not the case. The market is difficult. In the early years of war, we could only fish nearby. Now we dare not go far. It's too dangerous!"

"Is there any honest person who doesn't want to go fishing anymore? I want to buy two passenger ships to travel to various places for pilgrims!"

"Who wants to go to sea if you have something to do, you will die at any time. If you invite people, many people will go!"

Village Chief Wu said happily.

"There aren't many people around now. We can't hire that many people for the time being. We'll definitely hire people to sail the boat. We'll see how many people we hire after it's completed!"

After chatting with Village Chief Wu, he went to Hong Kong non-stop to find someone to do construction.

Although there is no formal construction company, there are still people who contract to do it, and there are also designers.

The pier is not a residence, and the edge of the sea is too shallow, mainly because concrete pillars cannot be poured in the water.

There is no way, I can only customize the materials in the system, extending from the sea to the dry beach, and then make them for them.

More than ten days later, in the middle of the night, the pillars were driven into the sea, and the boards of unknown materials were laid on them, and the construction personnel came to start work after they were as flat as the ground.

From the corner of one side to the edge of the village, it is more than 300 meters, and the farthest is tens of meters before reaching the dry beach.

Watching them work, I complained for a while, coming from later generations, I really can't understand the progress.

In an age without machinery, everything was done manually.

On the dry beach, poured concrete pillars, more than a dozen gazebos and a 600-meter ladder road were built.

More than a hundred people worked for four months to complete.

Two more passenger ships were ordered, and six people from the village were invited to drive the boats, and some people came slowly.

Without other side jobs, it is difficult to make money. Because of Shangxiang, Chi Heng didn't even think about collecting money.

What kind of money can you make by selling some incense candles.

However, the fees charged by the two passenger ships do not need to subsidize their salaries.

Then more than a dozen women from the village were invited to make incense candles, and they gradually got on the right track.

The Daoist Temple is really shocking. In the era of high-rise buildings, the 70-meter-high main hall and the 40-meter-high statue are already shocking in their eyes.

How did you do it?
The 70-meter-long pillars of the beams are like wood. Where did they come from? Even if they were, how were they transported and strengthened.

How did those dozens of tons of idols move up there?

Inquiring from people in the Taoist temple to no avail, and then went to the village to inquire. They were also stunned. What does it mean? How do we know? We only know that it has already existed when we looked up at one time.

Such a huge building was built in a month, and reporters flocked to it, and each photo was like a magical thing, attracting more people to come.

Many architectural experts of this era came to observe.

At this time, the money was charged for living in the wing room, and it was more expensive than the big hotels outside, and gradually the income increased.

The people who live there are rich people, and most people can afford it. It would be better to buy a boat ticket back to Kowloon.

I underestimated the admiration for God in this era, and watched many poor people buy a boat ticket to come and offer incense.

No wonder a fake Taoist priest like Zhong Jun can earn money to support several young girls, and all of them live a very nourishing life.

Amid all the noise, it was the beginning of school season, and those little guys were sent off the island to study.

In order to pick up and drop off some small ones, I bought two more passenger boats, and even more than a dozen children in the village were sent out to study together.

Except for a few households in the village who want to work hard and don’t want to work, they are all hired. They burn incense every day. There are not enough people to make joss sticks, manage the rooms, clean the house, cook in the restaurant, etc., all of which are solved at once.

Even the old men in the village are invited to come and burn incense in the morning and evening.

Of course, many statues of gods keep burning incense, and visitors offer incense during the day.

What Zhixing means is that other people's incense belongs to others, and people in their own Taoist temple will also offer incense sooner or later, even if they ask others to replace them.

Now there are a few young people in the monastery who go out to protect those children, and they also want them to find a wife outside.

The rest are very busy maintaining the operation of the monastery, and they can only practice at night.

Taoist monasteries are like Western churches, which worship gods, and there is no superstition.

People are fulfilled only when they are busy, and they have no complaints, instead they are happy.

Especially a few young men in their 30s and [-]s, who have been suppressed for so many years, are finally able to go out and see the colorful world.

Those who are managed in the Taoist Academy, such as Zhong Wenchu, are all over forty, so it is good to be safe and stable, and they have no other ideas.

After a few months of bustle and bustle in the monastery, I thought there was no one who was making trouble or making trouble.

For a while, Zhixing wondered why the security is so good now.

In fact, he himself still thinks of the poor, and he can't think of the status of the rich.

It's not that no one wants to come here to fight the autumn wind, but it's just that when they see those towering halls and statues as high as mountains, they dare not do anything else.

In this era, in the hearts of ordinary people, the rich will always be the wicked and the big landlords. Seeing such a huge building, are they not the wicked among the wicked?
Besides, for gods, they are all respected and kept at a distance.

Few can do it by robbing Taoist temples that worship gods.

Not wanting, but not dare.

It is human nature to judge the situation and the situation, and you can do it without a teacher.

So Zhixing read it for a few months, it was published in newspapers, and word of mouth spread. I am a rich man.

How come no one came to rob?

It's just that no one comes to fight the autumn wind or make trouble. Zhixing wants to kill the chickens to warn the monkeys, but there are no chickens.

Looking at those children, those who can stay will come back once a week, and those who can't stay will leave sooner or later.

Even the children in the village came together, so the villagers were also very happy.

But getting up early and coming back in the dark seems to be a bit hard, but there is no way, unless running a school on the island.
