After Liang Chuan walked out of the Chamber of Commerce, only Li Chuyi followed him.
He didn't know when the rain was going to fall. Liang Chuan didn't want to stay in the Chamber of Commerce. At this time, he wanted to walk around and spread his thoughts.
He still vividly remembered what Xiao Zhang said to him, and it was not ruled out that Xiao Zhang had other ideas, but Liang Chuan knew that the development of the Liao Kingdom to its current point was already on a crazy decline, and those who were serious about construction in the country had already There are not many left, and there are people everywhere who are messing around for their own selfish desires!
If Xiao Zhang hadn't come to find him, he wouldn't have thought of attacking the Khitan. Now that he's a disciple, it's justifiable, and he's made money without any psychological burden, so why not do it!
Bi Zhaosheng next door has moved away for a long time, otherwise you can have a drink with him.
Liang Chuan walked to Yuetai Temple and saw the temple's door open, with shadows of candlelight inside. Liang Chuan looked at it, turned around and walked in.
There was no one in the long corridor, but that was not surprising. It was already midnight, so it would be strange if there were people here.
After Qingyuan's wharf banned sea-going ships, not only was the life in the city much less vibrant, but even the incense in the temple was cut in half.
During the day in the past, there was an endless stream of pilgrims, either asking for wealth or asking for a child, and they were about to cross the threshold of Yuetai Temple.
It is said that the crowds are now crowded during the day, and there are not many people coming to offer incense. The Buddha is of course useful, but there are times when the Buddha is asleep. He can be saved for a while, but not for a lifetime. It is better to ask for the Buddha than to ask for yourself. If you have time to worship the Buddha, it is better to find more work and earn more money to buy rice.
We are not stupid, and we will not be confused about what we should do.
The temple was extremely clean, with drum towers and bell towers arranged left and right. During the day, the novice monks in the temple kept it spotless. Liang Chuan found an empty space and lay down leaning against it.
Master Hongyi should still be on the long journey to the southwest to seek Buddha. Liang Chuan can understand this master very well. In the past, this temple was dilapidated, and he could only be tied here, otherwise the mountain gate would have to be taken away. Now that the incense is getting better, the burden has been handed over to the disciples and disciples, and he is no longer needed to take care of it.
He also has his own ideas.
Liang Chuan didn't know what the magic power of Jizu Mountain was, but it was probably fate. If Master Hongyi hadn't met him by chance in Guangyuan and reminded him, he might still have been a savage in the mountains of Guangnan.
Liang Chuan used to be a staunch materialist, but when fate happened in front of his eyes, Liang Chuan had to believe that there was such a thing as fate in the world.
Perhaps in Jizu Mountain, the master can meet the Bodhisattva in his heart.
If there is a chance, Liang Chuan also wants to take a trip to see if he has such a great opportunity.
Li Chuyi was used to living a life of poverty. As long as he could keep out the wind and rain, that was enough. He folded his arms and leaned against the pillars of the bell tower, closing his eyes to meditate.
The Wanda Chamber of Commerce is certainly comfortable, but it may cause unnecessary trouble for He Chunsheng, and people will recognize him when he lives in the hotel. Now that he is wanted throughout the city, the best place is the temple.
If you don’t enter the temple at night, no one will come at this time.
Just as Liang Chuan was about to go to bed, a drunk man stumbled into Yuetai Temple carrying a bottle of wine!
Gu Gu Gu Gu, the drunkard still holds a wine bottle in his hand. He takes two steps and then throws his head back and takes a few mouthfuls. He doesn’t even have to eat any food. He can get so drunk just by drinking. How greedy is this?
When Liang Chuan took a look, why did this person look familiar?
It was raining at this time, and the lack of moonlight made the vision a little blurry.
'The Three Pure Ones only have clay bodies, but the Buddha has to be plated with gold. The old Taoist carries a sword to save the common people. In troubled times, Bodhisattva does not come to the world. In the prosperous times, Buddhists visit pilgrims. In troubled times, who will ask the common people! '
Feeling a little resentful, the drunk man actually ordered something back and read a limerick!
However, it would be too difficult to vent your anger towards the Lord Buddha!
The drunkard talked nonsense in front of the temple and even went into the temple to cause trouble, so the monks in the temple beat him out with sticks.
The black stick as thick as an arm would peel off a layer of skin even if it hit the body. The drunkard was drunk, but he was not dead. The pain from the hit made him shed tears.
'The stinky thief is bald, I am an official after all, how dare I be so rude! '
The monk didn't talk nonsense to him. He closed the door of the main hall and turned him away on the spot.
Seeing that the monk ignored him, this man actually sat down on the ground and started crying. He was a big man, and he didn't know whether he was crying in pain or because he was sad. Liang Chuan couldn't bear it, so he came over to comfort him. Otherwise, if he continues to make noise like this, he won't be able to sleep.
When he took a closer look, he was stunned on the spot.
'Liang Zao? '
Liang Zao, the master of Qingyuan Shipyard!
Liang Zao looked up and didn't dare to cry anymore! I'm afraid it's an acquaintance!
'Saburo! '
Liang Chuan quickly helped the man up and sat down on the stone steps beside him. Seeing him looking down and out, his heart trembled, and he immediately guessed what had happened.
Ling Hu was also like this back then.
Gaochun Linghu Si Fangxing, plus Liang Zao, I thought that Liang Zao was the most stable among the four, and his career had not fluctuated much. Several brothers had experienced ups and downs in life, but he was the only one who remained unchanged. Si Fangxing came back and became a rich man, Ling Hu lost his official status and started messing around with him. Gao Chun used to be the most beautiful, but because of his brother's relationship, he became a loose man and no one dared to cause trouble for him.
Unexpectedly, Liang Zao also had something on his mind.
'you. . '
Liang Zao also accidentally bumped into Liang Chuan here. Now Liang Chuan was a prisoner of the imperial court, but he didn't escape and was still hiding in Qingyuan City. He was really brave!
'Why don't you leave? The court is arresting you! '
Although he didn't know what Liang Chuan had committed, he knew that Liang Chuan had never been a simple person.
Even though Gao Chun was protected by his brother, he still respected Liang Chuan very much. Needless to say, Ling Hu hadn't seen him for many years, but I heard that he was with Liang Chuan and Si Fangxing was fished out by Liang Chuan!
'I have just returned to Qingyuan. Don't talk about me yet. What's going on with you? '
Liang Zao sighed heavily and raised his head with a dejected look on his face.
'The shipyard is finished! '
Liang Zaobei came out of this, and his voice choked up at the words.
'Why come back? The shipyard has been very prosperous in recent years. . As soon as Liang Chuan said this, he understood the reason.
'The fire goes fast, and the business goes down fast. You know that in the past few years, our Qingyuan Port business was booming. Eight out of ten sea-going ships on the river were made by our Qingyuan Shipyard, but you know the shipbuilding industry. Yes, the cost is very high. Material selection and production cannot be accomplished in one day. Now that boards are not allowed to be put into the sea, how can anyone come to talk about buying a ship? Since last year, after there was news that the court was going to ban the sea, the shipyard My business began to decline. This year, it has come to a standstill. There are still so many ships in the shipyard. If I can't sell them, the court will fire me! '
Almost all the industries in Qingyuan have a life-and-death relationship. One thing is prosperous, but all are prosperous. If maritime trade is cut off, all industries will decline.
For example, in the business of restaurants and restaurants, businessmen used to come every day to compete for seats. Now every restaurant is very depressed, and the business is extremely bleak. Restaurants are not good, and neither are the rice and wine shops. If the wine cannot be sold, neither are the brothels. The gouache business is not selling well, and there are even fewer devotees coming to the temple to offer incense!
But the biggest impact was on the factory ship.
Like Liang Zaohuan, Ling Hu was targeted and framed for his gunpowder skills. But Liang Zao completely lost to the trend of the times. Countless people lost their jobs due to the imperial court's policy. He is a typical example.
Unfortunately, Liang Zao can be considered an elite in this industry.
The quality and technology of the treasure ships built by Qingyuan Shipyard are unparalleled in the world, and there is no problem at all across the sea. All the warships and merchant ships of the Liang family navy are made by Liang Zao, and Liang Chuan has also provided countless orders for Qingyuan Shipyard.
It’s really this moment and that moment.
However, Liang Zao was distraught. The shipyard's performance was not good. He, the master of the shipyard, would lose his job. However, he should be regarded as a career employee. Just like a minor official, he was not a formal official. If he lost it, he would lose it. Well, what's there to feel bad about? He has all this ability, why should he be worried?
Of course Liang Zao is worried. Once the imperial decree is issued, it will never be loosened for three to five years, or even decades. If he only knows this one skill and cannot build and sell ships, then he is a useless person!
Liang Chuan saw that the more miserable Liang Zao became, the happier he became. This was not something he had missed again!
The number of merchant ships and warships I currently have on hand is not large. Although it is large, it is not enough to achieve absolute dominance on the sea. To dominate the sea, I must expand it at least ten times. If I sail to Khitan to do business, I can only rely on The number of merchant ships will also increase!
It’s not the best to have your own shipyard!
'Brothers, don't be sad. The court is not opening the sea now, and your shipyard will definitely go bankrupt. Brothers, you have to think of a way out for yourself. '
Liang Zao sighed heavily and said: "What other options do I have? I, Mr. Liang, have devoted all his efforts to this shipyard all his life. I don't know any other crafts. I can't even serve crops. If the shipyard It's over, I'm dead! '
'Are there many people in your boat? Liang Chuan suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and asked probing questions. If he could kill everyone in their shipyard, it would be a huge profit!
'There are more than 200 people in the shipyard who are in a similar situation to me. Now everyone is worried about their future. They are either lamenting or getting drunk all day long. . '
Liang Chuan was clearly scheming in his heart, but he still pretended to be concerned and asked: "Brothers, this is not the first day we have met. I really want to help my brother. If conditions permit, can you take me to your place?" Check out the shipyard? '
Liang Zao was drunk and couldn't react for a while, and said: "What else is good to see in the shipyard!" '
"Brother, don't ask any more questions. I have a special status now. It's best to go at this time. Don't let everyone know that I have been here." '
Liang Zao agreed to Liang Chuan's request, and several people set off for the shipyard.
