Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

  Chapter 394 Donate money to repair Mazu Temple

Before Ye Yaodong could say anything, the leaders with sharp ears heard, "Use money to buy the villagers? Thanks to your idea, can you still buy every villager in the village? Give them a chance to talk loudly? What a bad idea ?”

  Those leaders became angry when they were made such a fuss by these troublemakers. Ignorant country people are the worst to deal with.

  Especially those who have faith like this, and want to move their faith.

  Secretary Chen secretly glared at Ye Yaodong despite the scolding.

  Ye Yaodong said helplessly: "Leaders, what Secretary Chen means is that the museum can donate a sum of money to the Mazu Temple, and it will be regarded as a commendation and reward for taking back the bronze tripod to Mazu."

  As soon as this remark came out, the eyes of the village chief and the village secretary lit up instantly. Yes, Adong was commended and rewarded for handing in the bronze ware, which makes no sense that Mazu didn't.

  The leaders paused when they heard the words, thinking that it might be possible?

He went on to add: "Of course, if you donate less, the villagers will definitely not agree. You donate more, and then the villagers can use the money to maintain and build the Mazu Temple. Isn't this everyone's happy? We have achieved our goal, we will not offend Mazu, and we will build a temple for her, the villagers must be satisfied, and Mazu is also happy."

He had this idea for a long time. When the county leaders came over, he had this idea. He wanted to tell Secretary Chen, but who knew that this guy would come up with a bad idea and ask him to donate instead, so he held it back. Just yesterday they He didn't even mention it, he just held back until now.

  The village head was very happy when he heard his suggestion, and thought it was too good, "This idea is good, you still have a good brain."

  Secretary Chen also said with a smile on his face: "Donate money to Mazu to build a temple, and the villagers will definitely agree with you to take the bronze tripod."

Ye Yaodong echoed: "Everyone has seen the Mazu Temple in our village. It is dilapidated. A few years ago, it was pulled away by outsiders because of breaking the feudal superstition. Behind it, the villagers secretly built it up again, and then it has been going on forever." Keep it like this."

"If the museum can donate a sum of money to rebuild the Mazu Temple, the villagers will definitely be grateful and agree. After all, the Mazu Temple is everyone's belief. A bronze tripod certainly does not have a more status in everyone's hearts. .For everyone, the temple must be more important.”

  The leaders felt that what he said was quite reasonable, and they were whispering and discussing in a low voice.

  The noise of the villagers at the gate became louder. Originally, it was only the dissatisfaction of the people on the fishing boat at the wharf. They cursed along the way to the village committee, and some villagers who didn't know why were also aroused.

  People are gathering more and more, and they are clamoring at the door to get them out of Baisha Village. Baisha Village does not welcome them...

  The door outside was clattered and crackled. The loud movement made everyone in the house tremble, as if they were afraid of being rushed in by the villagers and beating them violently.

   While discussing, they were interrupted by the clamor outside, and they couldn't sit still.

The county leader directly said to the village head: "This matter of donating money to build a temple, the big guys have to discuss it, and even if you donate, you have to report it to see what the people above say. Tell the villagers quickly and let them disperse. Don't let the good things get stuck, it won't end well when the time comes."

   "Yes, yes, yes, don't ruin the good things." The village head happily asked Secretary Chen to go with him, and Ye Yaodong followed along, just to free up space in the house for them to discuss by themselves.

   This is the best way he can come up with, and if it doesn't work out, he won't do anything else.

  As soon as the village chief and Secretary Chen opened the door, the villagers almost rushed in.

   "Don't get excited, everyone, listen to me..."

   "Say a few words, those people are not welcome in our village, let them go, let them go now..."

   "Yes, tell them to leave, and don't give them anything from our village."

   "Village Chief, you can't protect those outsiders, you are from our Baisha Village..."

  As soon as the village chief said something, they spit all over his face and spit on his face.

  At this time, he could only comfort him, and wiped the saliva splashed on his face casually. He quickly said: "We have already thought of a countermeasure, which is beneficial to the Mazu Temple. We are discussing it, everyone, don't get excited."

   Said that he didn't get to the point for a long time. Is this a common problem of being an official?

  Ye Yaodong became anxious when he heard that, so he opened his mouth and said for him: "The leaders in there said they would donate money to Mazu to build the temple, let's build the Mazu temple better."

"Why???"

   The voice that aroused the anger stopped instantly, and everyone looked at him in disbelief.

   "Really? Will they kindly donate money to us to build temples?"

   "That's a lot of money?"

   "Really? You can't lie to us."

  Secretary Chen quickly said: "This is what we proposed. They want to take away the bronze tripod, so let's ask them to donate money to us to rebuild the Matsu Temple. The tripod is definitely not as important as the temple, right?"

  The villagers also stopped, distracted by the construction of the temple, and started talking to each other.

   "It's okay to build a temple~"

"Yes, yes, our Mazu Temple is too dilapidated, and it was built secretly a few years ago. In those years, everyone could worship secretly, and everyone was satisfied with the last incense. It is too dilapidated now, so Fix it."

   "Yes, yes, you can build a temple..."

   "Let him build our Mazu Temple better..."

   "If you can donate money to rebuild the Mazu Temple, I will give them the tripod, so that you will not offend Mazu."

   "Yes, the Matsu Temple needs to be repaired..."

  As the folks talked, smiles appeared on their faces, and they all felt that building a temple for Mazu was a great idea, and it would kill two birds with one stone.

   Not only can not offend those leaders, but also rebuild the Mazu Temple in the village.

   "Village chief, when will they donate money to build the temple? We have to choose a good day to start construction."

   "Are you stupid or not, you haven't said how much you donate yet?"

   "Yeah, haven't you said how much to donate yet?"

   "Yes, yes, yes, village chief, you should first ask them how much they plan to donate. If you don't have less, you can't. It's a big deal to build a temple."

  The village chief quickly comforted the villagers, "Everyone, don't worry, the leaders are still discussing this. This is just what we proposed. Why don't you know yet? You should leave first? I will let you know when there is news."

  Secretary Chen also said: "Let's go back first, don't make trouble, otherwise it will get stiff, and maybe it will be ruined. We have to give the leaders time to discuss, and it will take time to report and approve the money."

   "Okay, okay, building a temple is a good thing, we can't make trouble, everyone go back... go back to eat..."

   "It's over, I'm going back to eat."

   "Let's go, go back and wait."

   After appeasing the villagers and sending them away, how many village cadres were relieved?

   "I said, what if those people don't agree to donate money to build the temple?"

   "Uh..." The village chief froze for a moment.

   "Then they don't want to take Ding away. If they want to take Ding away, they have to compromise. The initiative is in our hands." Ye Yaodong said leisurely, leaning there with his hands in his pockets.

   "What if they only donate a few hundred yuan, which is not enough to build the temple?"

   "Then we have to wrestle with this, and we have to rely on your village cadres! Come on!" He clenched his fists, bent his arms, and made a cheering gesture to them

   "Then let's talk about it. Let them agree to donate money first. Our Mazu Temple really needs to be rebuilt. It's too dilapidated. Let them pay for it."

   "It's still young people with good brains. This idea is good. It won't embarrass us, and it can also bring benefits to the Mazu Temple. Those leaders can also do business."

Ye Yaodong laughed for a while, looked around the room, and then whispered, "I'll give you another suggestion, after they confirm the donation, you can make another request, that is, let them advertise in the newspaper, saying that the official museum donated money to us The village built a Mazu temple, and appealed to people from all walks of life to actively donate money to build the temple and keep it safe."

  "Not to mention other industries, like those around us who run boats and do sea work, they will be willing to donate some money to build temples and do good deeds, praying for smooth sailing and safe sailing at sea."

   This is why he was reminded by them just now, what if those people are not willing to donate? Then you need to raise funds.

   You can’t completely rely on the official, and the official can’t be so generous, so you can only try to get as much as possible.

  Since it has been proposed to build a temple, it must be repaired no matter what.

  In the past, it was good enough to be able to worship secretly. How dare you think about building a temple?

   This is a good thing to keep safe, and I believe the villagers will be happy to donate a little to do their bit.

  The village chief was pleasantly surprised when he heard that, "That's good. Now some boat bosses have some money. Everyone believes in Mazu, so they will definitely be willing to donate money to build temples and do good deeds."

"So, you should try your best to talk to those leaders, and you must ask them to approve more money as a commendation reward, and then ask them to publish it in the newspaper. The more people donate money, the better the Mazu Temple will be built. Everyone All the money has been paid, so after the completion of the construction, I will definitely come to worship often, so the Mazu Temple will also be full of incense.”

   "Hey~"

  It suddenly occurred to him that when he ran a big boat in his previous life, there was a small statue of Mazu on board, and the boss of the boat worshiped with three sticks of incense every morning and evening.

  He had another idea.

   "Or we can make some small statues of Mazu and worship them in advance. Those boat bosses have money. If they donate a little more, we will ask him to buy a small statue of Mazu and let them put it on the boat for worship, so as to keep them safe when they go to sea."

   "Yes, yes, yes, this is good, this will do!" The village chief was so happy that he was almost incoherent, and nodded repeatedly.

  Secretary Chen's eyes also brightened, "That's good, I guess everyone who drives a big boat will be happy to invite a Mazu to enshrine on board."

   "Yes, this idea is good, I am not afraid that the Mazu Temple will not be completed..."

   "A Dong is really good at using his brain. He is so smart that he solved a big problem."

   "These ideas are too good."

  Other village cadres also agreed happily. Everyone was worried for several days, and those who had just been disturbed by the villagers thought something big was going to happen.

   Now it's about to turn around in an instant.

   "Don't be too happy, you still have to call..." He pouted towards the small room not far away, "You have to ask them to pay more."

   "That's for sure."

   "Oh, I felt relieved in an instant."

   "Okay, then it should be nothing to do with me, I'm going home for dinner", Ye Yaodong looked up at the sun in the sky, "It's so hot at noon!"

  The corners of the mouths of the village chief and Secretary Chen twitched, it was like the Ye Yaodong they knew.
