As the Little Tang Saint rehearsed the first drama of Mazu for a month, she gradually gained some enlightenment like a scholar.
Sea transport and fishing in the Song Dynasty involved the livelihood of tens of millions of people, especially the annual coins paid by the imperial court. On the one hand, they relied on exorbitant taxation, and on the other hand, they were supplemented by sea transport.
It is hard to imagine that the Nanyang Shipping, which now only has a few ships, had towering ships in the Song Dynasty, traveling shoulder to shoulder along the coastline.
There are even rumors that someone has recently become a great talent by salvaging the Nanyang shipwrecks of the two Song Dynasties.
The reality is somewhat confusing. Sea trade, which the Ming Dynasty avoided, turned out to be the savior of the two Song Dynasties' finances.
The new Mazu God came into being with the expansion of sea trade. Sea trade is naturally subject to stormy seas, and Mazu's mission is to help the fishermen and crews at sea to weather the waves.
"Only gods who solve people's real problems will be remembered by the people. Is that true, teacher?"
Xiao Tang held the script that he had memorized by heart, with a sincere expression on his face. Ask Shen Yunniang.
"Well, that should be the case, otherwise it wouldn't be possible that now that the sea restrictions are loosened, merchants and common people would raise funds to promote Mazu. But Xiao Tang, it's a good thing that you are thinking about the script, but don't go too deep. . We are humans, not gods, and we cannot fully understand the behavior of gods."
Shen Yunniang was a little afraid that her new disciple would be addicted to it. Although he has modified and perfected a dozen plot points based on his thinking, he still muttered these nonsense every day. The rising star who was originally praised by all the stars, suddenly became a little bit shy and kept strangers away.
In this month, Leader Deng has not been idle.
First we went to the cowshed to learn about raising cattle and pulling carts.
Originally thinking that horse-drawn carriages were superior to ox-carts, Master Deng planned to register as a horse-carriage driver. He finally backed down in the face of Hangzhou’s weird horse-carriage driver registration regulations.
Because carriages are basically used to carry people, especially in the old and new cities. Now the prefecture's yamen directly issued a document stating that you must have a local household registration in Hangzhou, and your family must have three generations of grandparents before you can register as a carriage driver.
The main reason for doing this is that once there is a problem, the coachman can escape but not the wife, children and children at home. Naturally, the theft and robbery cases involving the coachman will be effectively controlled.
The price is that the price of the carriage has doubled, and a large number of young people from out of town are actively seeking to marry into the local bride's family so that they can have a three-generation family. Even widows in their 30s and 40s in Hangzhou, who have a ready-made and cheap son, have recently become more attractive.
Master Deng can’t lose face and get married. Therefore, this road is naturally unnecessary to discuss.
Ox carts and horse-drawn carriages are completely different. The horse-drawn carriage carries people in the city, which tests a person's ability in speaking, legs and feet. Bullock carts are driven on suburban and even official mountain roads, and they test one's ability to endure hardships and work hard.
If you don’t carry people, naturally the yamen registration is not that troublesome. Deng Cong spent money to buy one in Hangzhou.You can start working if you have good household registration.
Although he was a self-employed oxcart owner, Deng Cong was very current and registered with the Oxcart Association, and got a map of Hangzhou and surrounding lanes, and the other was an oxcart transportation service manual, mainly for cattle management in the future. , vehicle repair and other precautions and stores recommended by the association.
Deng Cong now sent two disciples to the cowshed to learn how to repair cow hooves and treat cow diseases, and two disciples to the cart shop to learn how to make an ox cart. He led three direct disciples to run this individual ox-cart business, and also hired six additional people. He owned four ox-carts and five cows, one of which was rented.
Don't look at Deng Cong as a self-employed businessman. Because of his good preaching, he has attracted quite a few cattle and cart owners to come and brag in their spare time.
Obviously, Deng Cong, the dignified leader of the White Lotus Sect, would not be so depraved that he would spend his whole life hauling cattle and goods. It's just that the White Lotus Sect has a bad reputation because of the turmoil in Hangzhou last year. Leader Deng, who has learned a lot about Hangzhou's past recently, would not dare to preach in the name of the White Lotus Sect.
But there are dozens of people there, so not preaching seems a bit unprofessional. But how to preach? Just don’t capsize in the gutter. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
