After rebirth, I became a national teacher

Just as Chen Qingzhu expected.

At this time, all the nuns in Jingci Temple were eating in the dining hall.

Considering that everyone rarely ate oily meals before, Huijing arranged meat porridge and scrambled eggs with cabbage and vermicelli for the first meal of the day.

The meat porridge is made from white rice. It is not only thick but also contains a lot of minced meat. The eggs in the scrambled eggs with cabbage and vermicelli are also split half and half with the vegetables, and there is plenty of oil and water.

The whole dining hall was filled with the tempting aroma of food.

At first, everyone ate voraciously, but as they ate, their eyes couldn't help but become red.

After being trapped in the evil den of Jingci Temple for many years, only today did they finally live a normal life.

Everything that happened this morning happened so fast, and the results were so good, it was like a beautiful dream I had had countless times.

It was not until this moment, when the greasy and solid food entered their mouths and choked their throats, that they began to feel the reality.

Really rescued!

From now on, you no longer have to worry about not having enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear, or being beaten for working day and night, or dying of exhaustion or illness from heavy labor and malnutrition, or being thrown into the back mountain to feed wild beasts without even a bed or a rotten mat!

"Woo woo, this is not a dream, we are out of this sea of ​​suffering!"

First, an ordinary nun cried out loud.

Soon the people sitting around her started crying too.

Infected by their crying, the nuns who were originally forced to receive customers also started crying.

Being able to eat meat was not a rare thing for them, but they were rescued, and the temple master said that they would never have to be prostitutes again.

From now on, they no longer have to worry about encountering customers with sadomasochistic tendencies, or getting infected with diseases, or selling their bodies against their will!

Even if they have been stuck in the mud and are covered in dirt, they can live cleanly for the rest of their lives without having to worry!

When Chen Qingzhu walked in from outside, everyone inside was crying.

"What's going on here?"

she asked softly.

Huiyun, who was feeling deeply touched, noticed her at the first moment and immediately came forward and said:

"To reply to the temple master, everyone is so happy that they are crying with joy!"

He also told Chen Qingzhu that her food had been reserved in advance and was being warmed in the kitchen.

Everyone also noticed Chen Qingzhu, and someone immediately wiped away tears and said to Chen Qingzhu in a hoarse voice:

"Without the master, we wouldn't have the good life we ​​have today. We will never forget the master's great kindness!"

The others also agreed.

Although the abbot was ordered by Taoist Master Cihang to destroy Jingci Temple, Taoist Master Cihang did not say how to resettle these poor people. She could have completely ignored them, but she treated them so well. How could they not be grateful?

Chen Qingzhu smiled and said to the nuns:

"I've said before, as long as we work together, our future will be better and better."

"I'm here now for one reason: to give out rewards. All those who participated in the arrest of the evil nun from the Discipline Hall this morning have made contributions and deserve rewards!"

"Hui An!"

Hui An followed the order and came to Chen Qingzhu, clasping his fists and bowing:

"Guanzhu!"

Chen Qingzhu took out a five-liang silver ingot from his sleeve and put it in her hand.

"You are the first meritorious person in this battle, and you will be rewarded with five ounces of silver!"

Hui An understood that she was trying to establish her authority, so he did not refuse. Instead, he said loudly with a look of joy on his face:

"Thank you for the reward, Master!"

Everyone was extremely envious when they saw the ingot of white silver in her hand.

That's five taels of silver. In that era when rice was only two or three cents per pound, these five taels of silver were enough to feed a person for several years!

Chen Qingzhu shouted again:

"Hui Jing, Hui Yun!"

The two men obeyed and stepped forward to salute:

"Guanzhu!"

"You two have done a great job, and I will reward you with two ounces of silver!"

The two of them also did not refuse and took the two taels of silver:

"Thank you so much, Master!"

Chen Qingzhu called out the six people who had fought with her and helped with the execution, and rewarded each of them with one or two taels of silver.

Looking at the people who were rewarded, many people felt very regretful.

Among all the oppressed nuns in Jingci Temple, only Huiyun was able to keep some personal property. The rest, even if they also had to go out to receive guests, had to hand over all the money they earned and the gifts given by the guests.

On weekdays, they are just ordinary nuns who eat a little better and dress a little better, but they have no money at all.

Not to mention the other nuns who don't accept guests.

If they had known that the temple master was there, it would have been so easy to capture those people in the Discipline Hall, and they should have gone to help.

If that's the case, wouldn't they also be entitled to a share of the reward?

Chen Qingzhu expected everyone's thoughts, so she continued:

"The second thing I came here for is to tell you that from now on, as long as Cihang Temple does not fall, everyone will receive a basic monthly salary of 200 coins. Those who perform poorly and have a bad attitude will have their monthly salary deducted according to the situation. But if you perform well, or even make contributions, you can get a reward of 100 coins to 5 taels of silver per month."

"Every month, everyone can take turns to have three days off, and then they can go to the southern capital city together for fun."

The crowd suddenly became excited.

No one thinks that they would be the one who has their monthly salary deducted due to poor performance.

They all thought that the temple provided food, clothing and housing, and the two hundred coins were their net income. As long as Cihang Temple was doing well, they would be able to receive at least this much money every month.

If you perform better, or even make some achievements, you will get more money.

Not only do they have money, but they also have freedom. They have three days every month to go to Nandu city to spend money.

The more I look at these days, the more hopeful I feel. The more I look at them, the more expected I feel!

After everyone discussed it happily for a while and digested the news, Chen Qingzhu said solemnly:

"Let me be frank with you. Whether it's food, clothing, shelter, or monthly rewards, only those who are loyal to this temple master can enjoy them! If anyone betrays me, this temple master will never let them off easily. I will cut their tendons and throw them to the back mountain to fend for themselves. Do you understand?"

The people were afraid of these harsh words, but when they thought about it carefully, the master had been very kind to them and treated them so well, why would they betray him? They were not just doing it out of boredom.

Huiyun was the first to stand up and express her loyalty:

"We swear to be loyal to the master until death and will never betray him!"

Then he looked at the crowd again:

"Whoever dares to betray the abbot, we will not forgive her, even without the abbot's help! Is that right?"

"Yes! I swear to be loyal to the master and never betray him!"

At this point, Chen Qingzhu had completely subdued the fifty-one nuns in Cihang Temple and could now practice with peace of mind for the time being.

After a simple lunch, he instructed Huiyun and others to collect the personal belongings of the nuns in the Discipline Hall to be used for the daily expenses of the temple.

Once these are sorted out, the rest of the people can move to Dongchan Temple, which has the best conditions.

Of course, Huiyun is responsible for arranging the rooms, Huijing is responsible for the kitchen affairs, and Huian is responsible for the guarding shifts in the West Garden.

She herself, ignoring the busyness outside, took out a jade ruyi and began to practice wholeheartedly.

The time required to break through the second level of Qi Refining is also three times that of the first level of Qi Refining, about forty-five days.

After Lady Zhang, the wife of Marquis Jingnan, finishes attending various official banquets in December and the first month of the lunar calendar, she will probably devote all her efforts to investigating the unfounded back-up plan that she had mentioned in the first place. Once she sees through her lies, she will probably be so furious that she will want to skin her alive.

She doesn't have much time.

Until then, the stronger she is, the safer she will be.
