Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 154: painstaking



Chapter 154 Working hard

  Looking at Li Chaowen\'s face that was more bitter than bitter gourd, Fang Jifan still didn\'t take it seriously.

  He said silently in his heart: Fool, this was originally my arrangement.

On the face, he said calmly: "You and he are senior brothers, both are disciples of senior brothers, and are equals. Why can he preside over Longquan Temple, but you can\'t even manage a Zhaitang? What are you afraid of? Don\'t worry. , now that you have your uncle backing you up, you can safely and boldly take charge of the Zhaitang, just win over some senior brothers, will Zhang Chaoxian dare to touch you at all?"

  Li Chaowen fought a cold war, as if he was still immersed in Zhang Chaoxian\'s arbitrary and terrifying tactics in the past ten years.

  Fang Jifan gave him a bold suggestion, and he was really scared in his heart, but at the same time, he found that he had nowhere to go.

   What else can we do if we don’t do it right? Senior Brother has always never allowed senior brothers in the audience to disobey him. This time, Fang Jifan let himself replace his trusted disciple. In the eyes of Senior Brother, he is already on Fang Jifan\'s side.

  And who can\'t see clearly the mess between the uncle and the elder brother today?

  This uncle who fell from the sky not only pushed himself into the fire pit, but also became his last straw.

  He hesitated, both frightened and at a loss.

  Fang Jifan continued to induce: "Why is he able to eat and drink hot food, but you are living a miserable life? You can rest assured that you will be in charge of your fasting hall. If anyone dares to bully you, the uncle will decide for you."

  The delicious food and spicy food seemed to arouse a certain kind of "yuwang" in Li Chaoxian, and the word "bitter haha" seemed to make Li Chaoxian a little bit reconciled.

  Of course, under the arbitrariness of his elder brother all the year round, Li Chaowen used to have a hundred guts, and he didn\'t dare to have any bold ideas.

   But now... the knife is already on his neck, what can he do?

  Li Chaowen took a deep look at Fang Jifan, it seems that the only thing he can rely on right now is this uncle, but...

  The master uncle who was killed halfway, the details are unknown, is it reliable?

   Whether it is reliable or not, this thief ship seems to have to be boarded, so Li Chaowen had no choice but to say to Fang Jifan: "Xiao Dao understands, Master, please take care of me in the future."

  Fang Jifan laughed: "That\'s true, my uncle likes ambitious people, go back to the mountain, and in a few days, my uncle will come to see you."

  Li Chaowen said subconsciously: "You... you must come."

   "..."

In fact, Fang Jifan can understand Li Chaowen\'s mood very well. Letting Li Chaowen go up the mountain again is like going to the execution ground for him. Only by relying on him now can Li Chaowen feel a little bit of security, so... Li Chaowen hopes that he will never They all live in the mountains.

   Reluctantly seeing off his uncle, Li Chaowen took a deep breath, looked at the mountain gate, finally sighed, and went up the mountain.

   This operation has already opened the eyes of the accompanying people.

  However, Ouyang Zhi, Liu Wenshan, and Jiang Chen seem to be calm. After all, they have been with Fang Jifan for a long time, and they are used to it! They don\'t find it strange what the teacher does!

  Actually, when Ouyang Zhi went down the mountain for the first time, he was still muttering in his heart, how could it be so calm when he came to Longquan Temple today? This is not the style of a mentor.

He was relieved when his mentor went up the mountain excitedly for the second time. It’s okay, it’s okay, the mentor is still the same mentor, that’s right, he had expected something to happen, so he felt surprisingly relaxed. This kind of long-lost This feeling really made him feel at ease, even if he went to smash up other people\'s Zhaitang, even if he found out later that his mentor was actually Puji Zhenren\'s junior, there was no disobedience in the slightest.

  Tang Yin seemed to be very excited, as if he felt that his teacher had let him out, and at this moment his thoughts were flowing like a spring, um, he wanted to write a poem.

  Xu Jing was thinking about all kinds of things about his mentor, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he gave a thumbs up in his heart, mentor... wise!

Wang Shouren couldn\'t hold it anymore, he felt like he was going crazy, he couldn\'t figure out what this Mr. Fang was doing, and countless doubts were added to his heart, so he said cheekily: "Mr. Fang, the student has one thing to do." , I want to ask for advice."

  Fang Jifan was in a good mood. Seeing Wang Shouren\'s thirst for knowledge, he said patiently, "Go ahead."

   "Can you take a step to speak." Wang Shouren looked at Ouyang Zhi and the others.

  Hey, a weirdo is a weirdo, and he is also a guy without emotional intelligence. If he asks him to speak in front of his disciples, isn\'t that because he doesn\'t trust people like Ouyang Zhi?

  Fang Jifan still nodded, and walked a little further with Wang Shouren. Wang Shouren stared at Fang Jifan and said: "This is what Mr. Fang did on purpose. Mr. Fang seems to want to get something from Longquan Temple?"

   Even a fool can see this kind of thing, Wang Shouren is not stupid.

   It\'s just... Wang Shouren still doesn\'t quite understand.

  Fang Jifan said: "You are right, I just want to get something from Longquan Temple."

   I didn\'t expect Mr. Fang to be so frank today.

   "Then what does Mr. Fang want?" Wang Shouren suddenly had more questions.

   "Longquan Temple\'s ten thousand hectares of fertile land." Fang Jifan answered honestly.

  Wang Shouren took a breath directly, feeling like a RI dog.

Looking at Wang Shouren\'s shocked expression, Fang Jifan said with a smile: "You have seen it yourself, this Longquan Temple is very impressive under the management of Zhang Chaoxian, but... the way this person manages is probably not very open and aboveboard. So I I just thought, since such a scum is allowed to collect money, then it might as well let me, anyway, the result will not be bad any more."

   "..." Wang Shouren was speechless...

   Can you still understand this?

Fang Jifan sighed and thought to himself, ten thousand hectares of fertile land means that sweet potatoes can be popularized on a large scale, and large-scale popularization of sweet potatoes means that the coming disaster can be alleviated. By then, I don’t know how many people can be saved. How many people who were starving in history can be allowed to survive!

  Though today’s world can be called a peaceful and prosperous age, the so-called peaceful and prosperous age of the ancients, the index is extremely low. When a disaster comes, there will still be countless people who will not have enough to eat, and countless people will become bones beside the road.

Although he came to this world, experienced many things, and many things happened, no matter what others think of him, Fang Jifan sticks to a bottom line, he must be a good person, even if he is not pure, but if he has spare energy, he must be a good person. Helpful nice guy.

   This is what Fang Jifan secretly told himself to stick to when he was doing anything. Fang Jifan prefers to call it feelings, a person can look cheap, act can be XIALIU, act can be despicable, but never lose feelings.

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "You must be surprised, isn\'t it? I know that you will be thinking wildly. Since you want to know so much, then I will tell you. The price of the Zhaitang in Longquan Temple is so high. Never willing to reduce the land rent, what does this mean? According to my judgment, if the deacon is Puji Zhenren, based on my feeling after talking with Puji Zhenren, I am convinced that he will definitely not do so. If so, then The only thing that can be explained is that Master Puji no longer cares about ordinary affairs, and the management of Longquan Temple has been handed over to his disciples."

  Wang Shouren pricked up his ears and dared not miss a single word.

Fang Jifan continued: "But you look at the Taoist priests in the audience, they are very strange. Many old Taoist priests are dressed plainly and look bitter. But some young Taoist priests are full of oil. It\'s also made of silk, don\'t you think it\'s strange? What does this mean? It means that Puji Daoist handed over common affairs to his disciples early on, but it\'s not the third generation of "Chao" It is only in this way that the other disciples of the "chao" generation look shabby. Since there is a senior brother who monopolizes the power, what he is most wary of is his own senior brother Because these people are my peers, how can I not take precautions?

Therefore, his cronies are mostly disciples with low seniority, because only in this way, he can use these people to control the entire Longquan Temple inside and outside, without worrying that these disciples will take power and shake his position. The simplicity of the older disciples is the reason why some of the fourth-generation "Tian" characters have become the backbone of Longquan Temple. "

Fang Jifan looked at Wang Shouren\'s serious face, and said, "So I didn\'t care when I heard that Tang Yin was beaten, but later I heard that there were ten thousand hectares of fertile land in Longquan Temple, so I went up the mountain without hesitation and made that Puji Zhenren’s younger brother then said that he was hungry and went to the Zhaitang, the purpose of going to the Zhaitang was actually to beat someone, if he didn’t beat someone, how could he lure that Zhang Chaoxian out?”

"Lead out Zhang Chaoxian, then everything will be easy to deal with. Make him hard to get off, and teach him to lose his prestige. This is to disturb his mind. His mind is disturbed, and I am suddenly attacked by me. He is bound to want to end the matter hastily. The more he I wanted to end it, but I refused his wish, and then forced him to depose Wang Tianbao, and then forced him to accept Li Chaowen as the head of the Zhaitang."

  Fang Jifan was obviously in a good mood, and patiently explained the whole matter to Wang Shouren.

"Do you know why it is Li Chaowen? Because I think he is shabby, and he is not young. Presumably, he must be a disciple of the Chao family and a senior brother of Zhang Chaoxian. The purpose of choosing him is not because he is optimistic about him, but to make him feel helpless There is no way to go, he knows that he is in charge of the Zhaitang, and it was recommended by my uncle who humiliated Zhang Chaoxian. In the future, he will definitely become a thorn in Zhang Chaoxian\'s eyes. If a person who fell into the water is cut off by me, then the only thing he can do is to break the boat and grab me, my uncle, to fight Zhang Chaoxian."

"Look, Li Chaowen is one of my pawns! What\'s the use of me becoming the uncle of Longquan Temple? It\'s just a mascot. Oh, do you know the mascot? It\'s like the statue in the Taoist temple. The same, it looks noble, but in fact, it is useless to the audience. Now, after passing Li Chaowen, this young master has really entered the chess game of Longquan Temple. As long as Zhang Chao is out first, then the entire Longquan Temple Thousands of hectares of fertile land can be manipulated by me, Li Chaowen is just a controllable doll."

"What is this called? This is called the unity of knowledge and action. When you have your own views on everything in your heart, you let go of it and practice it. Through your own actions, you can realize your wishes, and then through your own understanding of everything, you can practice what you want to do. Yes, both are indispensable.
