Chapter 687 The protagonist's halo
Yunyao is responsible for digging the pool, while Wu Meiniang is responsible for the distribution. The two have been working like this for thirty years. So as long as Yunyao doesn't ask her for money, Wu Meiniang is very happy to help Yunyao dig the pool together.
As for how many corrupt officials Wu Meiniang has under her command, she doesn't know. Anyway, she is not the emperor now, and she doesn't have to worry about these things. She just needs to implement the projects one by one. As for the others, it has nothing to do with her. Anyway, the money is not hers, it is from the pool.
If Wu Meiniang became the emperor, she would definitely not tolerate these guys doing things wrong again, because these guys were digging for the corners of the Tang Dynasty. However, if they were not in their position and did not do their own affairs, Wu Meiniang now gave the interests of the emperor and the Tang Dynasty to her subordinates, and these interests were not hers. If she became the emperor, she would share her own interests, and Wu Meiniang would definitely be very stingy.
Of course, Yun Yao took action and had already set up supervision. However, the Tang Dynasty was not productive enough and it was difficult to implement supervision everywhere, so she could only guide the trend and cultivate more young people like Di Renjie. However, officials like Di Renjie are still too young and have too immature methods to beat the snake at all.
Just talking about the overspending projects that Wu Meiniang is responsible for, Di Renjie can definitely explore, but they are too young to just stare at overspending. Could it be that the project will not be completed after overspending? If they don’t do it, the initial investment will not be wasted, and there will be no way to continue to make profits later.
Overspending is a thing that is allowed. Ordinary business needs to consider losing. When purchasing raw materials, you should consider buying more. It is impossible to say that if you make ten pieces of clothes, you should buy the materials for ten pieces of clothes. At least eleven pieces of clothes are needed. If you buy 100 pieces of materials, you should consider leaving one tenth of the loss.
Therefore, it is normal to overspend the project. The material fee president and labor fee president will encounter unexpected expenses in natural disasters and man-made disasters, and even encounter problems that have not been considered during design. These things will be encountered in practical operations. Will it not be solved because of overspend? If it is not solved, the project cannot be completed.
So Di Renjie and the others were staring at the overspending, but not at the reason for the overspending. This is because they are not yet experienced enough. Using overspending as a reason for impeachment is simply stupid and naive.
It was also the first time Di Renjie fought such a powerful opponent. He failed in the first round, but he was not discouraged because he felt that there was still a chance and he must find evidence next time.
The storm of the court cannot affect the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. The canal belt is like the pearl on the crown of the Tang Dynasty, and is the most prosperous area of the Tang Dynasty's economy and culture.
From south to north, countless factories were erected on both sides of the canal, attracting countless Gentile friends to work and settle here. With economic development, entertainment naturally had to keep up. It can be said that they were singing every night and enjoying money. With the entertainment industry, the demand for elixirs increased day by day, allowing Yun Yaori to make money.
Part of this money was established to support poor students in the Imperial College, and part of it was established to provide scientific progress awards to those outstanding inventors. The rest was Yunyao's own household income, plus the salary of 3,000 households, which could be considered as supporting a family. In fact, Yunyao was very supportive of the craftsmen or servants in the family to find a better way out, whether it was to change jobs, do business, or take on private jobs, but these people would rather be Yunyao's vassals than start their own business.
Although there are many opportunities in the Tang Dynasty now, the uncertainty is still very high. After all, there are also many people who lose money in business. Therefore, only carpenters, stonemasons, gardeners and other craftsmen occasionally borrow some private work and make some pocket money, but they never thought of leaving the Prince Consort's Mansion. After all, the Prince Consort's Mansion is stable and there is no need to take a book. As long as Yun Yao does not fall, there is no problem. Besides, even if Yun Yao falls, these craftsmen will just change their masters and continue to work.
Most people still pursue stability and sustainability. Just like farmers like good weather the most, and what they hate the most is the sudden change of climate, and craftsmen also like stability the most, because stability can accumulate wealth all the time.
Although you can earn more when working, you can get monthly money every month in the Prince Consort's Mansion. The money is not much, but it is also quite stable. When you save enough money, you can ask the princess Kaien to write a letter of introduction for them and send your children to a good private school. Why not do it?
Unless Yunyao lays off employees directly, they will definitely not leave by themselves. Yunyao doesn't want to streamline expenses, but thinks that everyone should challenge herself. After all, she built the stage of the Tang Dynasty in hopes that everyone can perform, but obviously this is just her personal idea.
Above the bustling canal, a middle-aged monk was looking at the two sides of the ferry. He was Master Huineng, who was recently in the south. He accepted the invitation from his senior brother to go to Chang'an to exchange Buddhism.
Many years have passed since Tang Monk obtained the scriptures, and the limelight of the Consciousness-Only Sect has long passed. Now the gradual enlightenment of the north and the sudden enlightenment of the south are opening a new curtain.
It is naturally valuable to obtain scriptures, but only Tang Monk's behavior of traveling thousands of miles to obtain scriptures made everyone realize that someone can travel thousands of miles to seek the true scriptures for Western teachings. However, not many people are interested in the content of these scriptures that Tang Monk retrieved. Because it was too difficult and even the monk could not learn it thoroughly, so after Tang Monk left, there was no one who could defeat him. Until now, the gradual enlightenment of the north and the sudden enlightenment of the south had risen, and the sect of the Yogacara school had no chance.
The future is already the world of Zen Buddhism in the north and south. Master Huineng has held an unblocked meeting in the south and has successfully stood firm. Although he doesn't know a single word and opposes the book, he has a lot of believers. Although his status is slightly worse than his senior brother Shen Xiu, the south has already become an enlightened world.
This time, Shenxiu invited Huineng mainly to praise monks. Although the Buddhist scriptures were completed and Western religions had already flourished, it still needed to maintain the prosperity. It was not just lying flat. Obviously, lying flat is far from enough. Therefore, Chang'an is still a public opinion occasion that monks must stand. However, with Yunyao reorganizing ancient books, many unpopular Confucian and Taoist ideas rekindled and began to seize positions. Therefore, Shenxiu hopes that his junior brother will help.
They studied art together in Zen. Although Shenxiu was the first major disciple at that time, Huineng was a choreographer and was discriminated against by regions, they are now the backbone of Zen Buddhism in the north and south. If they continue to fight, they will only benefit the fisherman.
Huineng's experience is a model of "Don't bully the young and poor", and it feels like a time-traveling male protagonist counterattack. He was born in a poor family when he was a child, making a living by giving firewood to others. One day, he heard someone say "Diamond Sutra" at a client's house, and immediately had the idea of becoming a monk, and then he left home to become a disciple.
Because at that time, except for a few port cities in Lingnan were quite famous, they were not famous or developed in other places. He went to the Central Plains to study Buddhism and was also discriminated against by the region.
Although Huineng did not say, "Thirty years, Hedong and thirty years, Hexi, don't bully young people poor", he also said, "People have north and south, but Buddha nature does not have north and south." Even if he is a southern sect, Buddha nature will not be different from monks in the Central Plains.
