Chapter 1974 Believe everything.
Pei Mingli bowed to Wang Xuance and thanked him for his advice.
He came from a merchant family and had seen the struggles in the business world, but compared with the officialdom, he was always at a lower level. The things that intellectuals played with were indeed different.
"Brother Pei, there is no need to underestimate yourself. Brother Pei is good at business and has made great achievements in business. I, Wang, am inferior to him.
In the future, Brother Pei will understand these things as long as he learns more from the prince. The prince has also followed the prince for many years and has been taught by the prince, so he can see through them. "
Wang Xuance returned the greeting modestly.
"Okay, Mingli, there's no need to be so polite. There will be many such things in the future. It's not your fault that you haven't encountered them before.
Remember that at our level we cannot fight like the shrews in the market. We are all men of letters and need to be reserved.
You see, I am very reserved in what I do. When masters compete with each other, one should not care about the immediate gains and losses but should plan for the long term.
It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. You should learn more from me in this regard."
Li Shen stood up and walked to the tea table, with his hands behind his back, looking like an old scholar.
"Thank you for your teachings, Your Highness." Pei Mingli stood up and bowed respectfully.
"Well, sit down. This matter needs to be implemented as soon as possible. Send people to check the terrain and find someone to make a blueprint. The prince will order the people there to move out.
Wang Hongfu, this will be handed over to you. We will ask Yan Liben to take charge of the drawings. Remember to make it grand and spectacular, and save money, but don't cut corners."
Li Shen's request was very simple. He had to save 300,000 strings of cash, as this money was saved up bit by bit.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely get it done." Wang Hongfu accepted the order.
"Don't use cement this time. I hope to preserve this temple for thousands of years. Our cement cannot last that long.
Buy stones and good quality wood. If you don’t have enough, go to the Ministry of Industry to coordinate the purchase.”
Li Shen thought about it and finally decided not to use cement. The lifespan of cement is estimated to be only a few decades. Li Shen wanted to leave some historical sites for future generations so that the tourism industry can be more developed in future generations.
"Your Highness, if you do this, the cost will increase a lot." Wang Hongfu reminded when he heard that Li Shen did not use cement.
"It's okay, it's just that I made less money. There's also a severe drought in Guanzhong, so let's recruit some people to work, preferably from far away."
People around Chang'an City have already started working at the football field. Li Shen's idea is to recruit some people from far away so that everyone can make some money.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Hongfu took the order again and kept Li Shen's order in mind.
"Your Highness is benevolent and filial. I wonder what name you are going to give this temple." Wang Xuance asked.
“I have already thought of a name, it is called Da Ci’en Temple.
Compassion: Give happiness to all beings with a loving heart, and eliminate their suffering with a compassionate heart.
Grace: Always keep a grateful heart and never forget the grace of your parents in raising you.
The two are combined into one, which is the Merciful Grace, Amitabha Buddha, the Infinite Heavenly Venerable. "
Li Shen piously made the sign of a cross on his chest, then put his hands together and made a Buddhist salute.
"The prince's Dharma has become even more profound."
Wang Hongfu then flattered him.
"Your Highness also believes in Buddha?" Pei Mingli asked Wang Xuance in a low voice.
"No, our prince believes everything." Wang Xuance replied in a low voice.
"Believe everything?" Pei Mingli was stunned and didn't understand what he meant, but seeing that Wang Xuance had no intention of explaining, he didn't ask any more questions.
"Okay, let's get back to the topic. Wang Hongfu and Pei Mingli, you two stay at home. Mingli, you have to assist Wang Hongfu and get familiar with him as soon as possible.
I am planning to let you take charge of things on your own. Don't let me down. I have high hopes for you."
Li Shen patted Pei Mingli on the shoulder and encouraged him.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Highness Prince Ji. I will definitely live up to your expectations." Pei Mingli stood up and saluted excitedly. A gentleman will die for his friend. Li Shen can be said to have been very kind to him.
"Okay, I believe you can succeed.
Xuan Ce got ready and handed over the reports to the court to Mingli. After all, he is the military advisor of Prince Ji's palace.
You must teach him as soon as possible, and you must go to Anxi Protectorate with me."
Li Shen instructed Wang Xuance again that although the Prince Ji’s Mansion was not the imperial court, it still had some rules and needed to be coordinated with the imperial court.
For example, in a disaster year, many people were affected, a lot of land was left uncultivated, and even if one died of a disaster, the household registration would be cancelled.
They were all trivial matters, usually handled by the Chief Secretary Wang Xuance, because there were no other officials in Prince Ji's Mansion.
Since Wang Xuance is leaving this time, we have to find someone to replace him.
Wang Xuance immediately stood up and saluted to receive the order:
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will hand it over as soon as possible."
Li Shen nodded and looked at Xue Rengui again:
“Rengui, don’t increase your training recently. Just maintain basic training, and don’t overexert yourself on your sharp blades to avoid getting injured and being unable to follow me.
After we go back, check our weapons and equipment and take everything with us. If something unexpected happens, we must be able to escape."
"This...should we take all of them with us?" Xue Rengui hesitated and looked around.
"Check everything first. I will go to the guard camp before I leave." Li Shen did not say it clearly.
It is not convenient to say more about the secret weapons in the guard camp on this occasion.
Although they are all people Li Shen can trust, everyone has their own responsibilities. They know what they should know and don't need to know what they shouldn't know.
Just like a secret business operation, Xue Rengui never knew about it.
"Yes, I obey your command." Xue Rengui stood up and saluted.
"Well, now that everything is settled, you just need to do what I have told you to do when you return. If there is anything you cannot resolve, you can ask the princess for instructions and she will make the decision."
Li Shen finally said to everyone.
"Yes, we will follow your orders, Your Highness." The four of them stood up and saluted. Li Shen waved his hand and everyone left.
Wang Hongfu and Xue Rengui left Prince Ji's Mansion. Wang Hongfu wanted to return to the Boutique Pavilion, and Xue Rengui wanted to return to the Guard Camp.
Pei Mingli and Wang Xuance came to the office area of officials in the front yard of Prince Ji's Mansion.
"Wang Changshi, you just said that His Royal Highness Prince Ji believes in all religions. What do you mean? I think what the prince just said is very profound in Buddhist principles. He should be quite familiar with Buddhist principles."
Pei Mingli finally couldn't resist his curiosity and asked.
As far as he knew, many royal families believed in Buddhism, even the Queen.
"Brother Pei, didn't Wang just say that? Our prince believes in everything, whether it's Buddhism, Taoism or magic, as long as it can make him money, he believes in it."
Wang Xuance said jokingly.
"Demon? The prince believes in the devil cult?" Pei Mingli was shocked beyond words after hearing this. He just said that he felt something was wrong at the Dandies' Conference that day.
Those noble sons were like crazy. He was wondering if they would eat human flesh. It really seemed a bit like a cult.
"Haha, Brother Pei, don't think too much. I was just joking. His Highness Prince Ji actually believes everything and nothing."
Seeing Pei Mingli's expression, Wang Xuance laughed.
(I have a really bad memory. I came up with several ideas during the day, but forgot them all at night. It was a blank.
I don’t have seven wives.
My memory should be pretty good.)
