579 A Taoist Temple

ps: I want to hear more of your voice and receive more of your suggestions. Now I search for the WeChat public account "ddxiaos Confused" and follow it to give more support to "The Rich Rich in the Ming Dynasty"!

Boracay, this is an island where gold has been donated and the top ten merchants have paid for silver.

The white-famous crane likes it because it has white sand beaches.

The merchants like this because it is a very outstanding transit station. To the south is the real Nanyang, which has countless wealth. In the Sulu Islands, the Little Luzon race planted countless sugarcane gardens, abaca gardens, bananas and other fruits.

There are several Nanyang routes in the Ming Dynasty, one or two of which pass through this island.

It is not that Manila Port is not good, but that it is an island completely controlled by China. Here, merchants feel more at ease than in Manila. People who are active here speak Chinese, even Luzon's merchants and craftsmen speak Chinese, and their living habits are no different from those inland.

More importantly, there are a large number of temples and Taoist temples here.

The Siamese monks have also come here, not only communicate with the temples, but also communicate with Taoist temples in practice.

Bai Minghe took Huamei, and only the two of them, there would be no danger here, but there were guards following him in the distance.

There is a pure wood building complex by the sea, without walls, and the buildings in the middle look like Taoism. The surrounding room is not in the local style, but is built in the Chinese style in combination with the local climate.

When Bai Minghe and Li Huamei walked to the Taoist temple, there were already many people here.

It seems like a small market. When you get close to it, you will find that it is a gathering area. There are no houses, only teahouses, wine shops, and there are no inns, and there are only grocery stalls in front of the teahouse. There are only a very small number of goods, just matches, needles and threads.

Seeing Bai Minghe and Li Huamei appear, the merchant here just took a look.

The teahouse does not have a square table like the Chinese inland, it is just a folded small table and then two bamboo stools. A young man with short hair but a blue cloth scarf came over and gave a gift with one hand: "Does the good man use tea?"

Hearing this title, Bai Minghexin said that is the teahouse belonging to this Taoist temple?

"Well, I want tea, if I have some thoughts, I want it." Bai Minghe nodded with a smile.

"Good man, please wait!" The young Taoist gave a gift again. He soon brought a pot of tea, then put on a plate of peanuts, a plate of pastries, a plate of dried mangoes, and a plate of assorted fresh fruits.

Bai Minghe asked, "How much money do you want?"

"You are willing to follow the good people, but Xiaoguan has no requirements."

Bai Minghe nodded, and there was no need to ask for money again. The little path backed away with a gift.

The two guards came over in the distance. However, they did not sit on the side of Bai Minghe, but on another table more than ten steps away. They put down a silver note with five taels written on it, while the other one left a hundred taels.

The little Taoist priest looked as usual and accepted the donation. The tea and dessert on it were no different from the table of the white-name crane.

Bai Minghe took out a cigar from his portable cloth bag, but Huamei held it down: "The medical officer said, it is not allowed. I will endure it for another five days!" After that, Bai Minghe's bag was confiscated.

"Little brother, let my wife control it." Someone suddenly shouted, "It was actually Guanzhong dialect. You should know that Huamei spoke just now, and it was the accent of Beijing.

Bai Minghe smiled self-deprecatingly and responded in Guanzhong dialect: "This brother is from the Tai Qin Gang?"

"Yes. From the Qin Gang, I went south to collect dried fruits. There was a lot of rain these days. The dry goods had to be fully cleared at least when the day was day, so I was waiting. What goods were coming to collect?"

"Catch..." Baiminghe really doesn't know what this sea area is south of Little Luzon now. Although the place is very large and the area is twice that of Luzon, Baiminghe has never been able to watch it. Many things can be found in the first courtyard, the Commercial Department, and the merchants themselves.

Seeing the embarrassment of Bai Minghe, the merchant smiled: "It seems that he is an idle person, not a businessman anymore."

"Yes!" Bai Minghe hugged and clasped his fists: "I'm here to see the sea and the beach."

Everyone was laughing, but no one cared about this. Some young people from major families came out to see it, and it was nothing strange when they saw the world. Now it was no longer a few years ago. Although the word tourism has not appeared yet, many literati and poets are willing to come out to see the scenery overseas.

"Do you have a study exam for the little brother?"

"I'm a Juren, yes... I haven't gotten the exam again if I have limited knowledge." Bai Minghe said the truth.

Hearing this and looking at the reactions of the people around him, Huamei frowned, and the two guards were a little nervous because they felt the suspicion in the expressions of the people around them.

Sure enough, the person who asked the question shook his head: "I'm afraid I look down on us rough people who are doing business. Although you look at us like us Guanzhong people, you are not as cheerful as Guanzhong people. You speak hesitantly and untrue. Well, since you are not prone to speculation, you were disturbing me just now." After saying that, he clasped his fists and ignored Bai Minghe.

Bai Minghe chose to drink tea here, and originally wanted to listen to these people chatting.

Or maybe you can listen to the ideas of ordinary small businessmen about the Southeast Asian policy, but how can they offend people as soon as they open their mouths?

And the person who was originally chatting stopped talking now.

The atmosphere in this teahouse feels very depressing. Not only Bai Minghe feels uncomfortable, but the people who were sitting are not very comfortable either. It is like in modern schools where everyone is talking about spring outings. Suddenly the class leader comes in and wants to tell the students about the exam after the spring outing, which is not suitable for the adjustment.

"My husband is a nerd. It is because he can't talk to others that his family let him go out for a walk and see it." Huamei stood up.

Generally speaking, there are few women, especially those who marry into women, who take the initiative to talk to outsiders.

This is an apology, but no one still speaks.

"Forget it, go back. Now that I think about it, I really rarely talk to people seriously and become unable to speak. Staying here will ruin everyone's mood, but it is a sin. Well, go back." Bai Minghe stood up, sighed deeply, and walked in the direction of the journey.

The two guards quickly stood up and took a few steps back. Only after Bai Minghe left did they catch up far away.

Seeing Bai Minghe walking away, someone suddenly said, "Isn't it the young master of a big man?"

"Not like it!" a businessman replied, and then explained: "It doesn't look ostentatious, but it gives people the feeling that a person who has seen the world is definitely not like the woman who can't speak."

"No matter who he is, there are everything he comes to Nanyang." Some businessmen also think this matter is not worth discussing.

If there are good things, I have to ask. An old man said, "Taoism talks about meditation, why should we pursue who a passerby? Whether it is a small civilian in Gaojing or a high position, a small civilian lives a small civilian life, and a big man has his life."

"Just curious, don't keep it a secret."

The old man thought for a while and said to the Taoist boy: "Little boy, come and ask. Just ask the good guy to leave a word, how can you be considered a good person?"

The little Taoist boy ran and chased after him. The two guards were not too nervous when they saw the little Taoist boy chasing him. They were just staring at the Taoist boy. The Taoist boy did not chase him too close, and shouted from afar and asked the question.

Bai Minghe stopped and thought: "Work hard to earn money and spend money. It's a good people!"

"Thank you, good man!" The Taoist boy bowed and turned around and ran away.

Bai Minghe then said to Hua Mei: "Actually, think about it. From the day I first saw Yuan Jun, I have never spoken to anyone normally. In Xiaquan Village, even my uncle respected me three points. At that time, I was only thinking about solving the problems in the village, so I had a commander mentality."

Huamei didn't know that period, so she just listened.

"Then I went to Beijing. The people I deal with were officials, so I was not very normal in speaking. After arriving in Hepu, I even had no control over me, especially after taking over Da Nang, my mentality changed. I couldn't help but feel like a superior, and these people in high positions became more and more abnormal."

"You are not a person in the pool!" Huamei said next to her.

"Let's go back. Take two days off and invite the royal family. There is still a bucket at that time. Let's take a guide to the country and laugh at the world!" Bai Minghe laughed cheerfully, took a big step and walked back along the beach.

The two guards didn't think much about it. Originally, Baiminghe was not an ordinary person, so there was no need to integrate into the life of ordinary people.

It is a guide to the people in the world, and they are people in high positions. If you want to know the situation among the people, what do you want to know? There are also Dongchang, and officials at all levels, who are in a conspicuous manner and are close to the people, and they do not belong to Baiminghe. If someone knows the true identity, there will be chaos, and they do not want anyone to know the true identity of Baiminghe.

In the teahouse outside the Taoist temple, the Taoist boy reposted the words of the white-famous crane.

"What nonsense is this? It seems that he is really a nerd."

The old man shook his head: "You are too vulgar, these words are very meaningful, think about it with your heart."

"Who is that person?" A group of people surrounded the old man.

The old man shook his head: "Maybe he guessed it, but he couldn't say it, and he dared not say it. I only told you two words. The person who truly understands the depth just now can at least become a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Revenue, or a big merchant with a annual income of one million taels."

"Are you really a big shot?" Many people want to catch up, not to get to know the big shot, but just want to ask for advice. If you don't understand this profound thing, you can always have a few simple words that ordinary people can understand.

The old man did not explain it anymore, because he probably guessed that one was a Guanzhong man, who was young and could not communicate with ordinary people. Following the top warriors as guards, more importantly, when the old man saw a ship on the sea, everyone in the world knew about it. The ship with obvious characteristics, the Shagara Dragon King.

Thinking of the little woman who is open and dares to speak in front of outsiders, she can only be alone.

So the old man didn't want to guess anymore and didn't dare to say it.

Bai Minghe returned to his residence and entered the house with a sentence: "Come on the files from the seven major islands of Luzon, just choose the key points, just treat it as a fun!"
