When he came outside, Chen Jingke found that the Taoist temple looked completely new today.
It's not that the bathroom has been cleaned particularly well, but that the atmosphere and order have changed.
Everyone's energy and spirit have completely changed from before, they are more positive and excited, and every move is more orderly.
The new order he had been advocating before actually took shape and started operating smoothly.
Although it cannot be said that all these changes are brought about by new clothing, its role is no less than the finishing touch.
No wonder complete organizations will find ways to formulate unified clothing, which is also part of the melting pot.
Chen Jingke increasingly felt that his design of unique Taoist robes was a brilliant move.
Today is the last day of preparation for the opening of the temple to receive pilgrims. What everyone has to do is to practice how to receive pilgrims and how to maintain order.
Sun Simiao, Chen Jingke, Yang Tianlu and others watched the whole process. At the beginning, everyone was a little nervous and made constant mistakes.
Yang Tianlu was about to reprimand them, but was stopped by Chen Jingke.
Instead of reprimanding, he encouraged everyone to do well, but there were still some small flaws that needed to be improved. During the second drill, the mistakes were indeed reduced a lot.
He took the lead in applauding and exaggerating that what he did was good, but it was not enough, and he could keep up his efforts and do better. As expected, there was improvement on the third time, and he could complete the program without making any mistakes.
When he announced that the exercise was a complete success, everyone couldn't help but cheer. After all, most of them were Taoist boys and their thoughts were much more pure.
Yang Tianlu praised: "Chen Zhenren's method is really brilliant, I can't do it as well."
Chen Jingke said proudly: "We need to use different management methods to treat different people. Adults with strong receptivity can be stricter, while children should be encouraged."
"We mostly care about children, so we shouldn't be too rough with them and must be more tolerant. Of course, we except those who refuse to change despite repeated admonitions."
It is said that Qiu Xingsi said thoughtfully: "I see, it seems that I was too harsh on them before."
Chen Jingke smiled and said: "You are different. You always say that students must be afraid of you. Children have no sense of right and wrong. If there is no one to fear, they will be lawless."
"But your strictness must be well-founded, otherwise it will be pure cruelty and will only arouse their confrontation."
Qiu Xing thought: "That's it, I would like to be taught."
Sun Simiao couldn't help stroking his beard and nodding. Although this apprentice was a little stupid, he still had good abilities. The key was to have an independent opinion and perseverance, which was very valuable for a person of his age.
After that, Qiu Xingsi was asked to watch everyone learn and communicate, while Sun Simiao and others went to check other places, such as the preparation of consumables such as incense and candles.
Yang Tianlu said: "The consumables are well prepared, and there are still many reserves in the warehouse, enough to be used ten thousand times."
"The shortcomings mainly lie in the Tai Chi Bagua jewelry. There are only more than 3,000 wooden ones and 100 jade ones. On the contrary, there are more copper, gold and silver ones."
Not even Chen Jingke, he understood this. Wood and jade needed to be carved, and metal pouring was enough, but it was faster.
"Then we will replace them all with copper ones, and all the pilgrims who come to worship the gods tomorrow will be given one as a gift. Well, we will make a special mark on this batch of copper pendants..."
"Just make 50,000 pendants with the word 'Shi' as the mark, then destroy the molds and never make the same pendant again."
Yang Tianlu said distressedly: "A pendant weighs the same as two copper coins. Fifty thousand coins is equivalent to one hundred copper coins. It's such a waste."
Chen Jingke said: "The wool comes from the sheep, and it won't be long before the money spent today will flow back several times."
"Moreover, tomorrow is the first day of viewing, which is particularly important. Many rules are also formed on the first day. They must be perfect. This investment is completely worth it."
Sun Simiao also said: "Just follow this and make the pendant as soon as possible. Don't delay its use tomorrow."
He didn't understand the purpose of this operation, but he didn't object. It was good if it worked, but it was also a lesson for Chen Jingke if it didn't work.
The two temple masters agreed, and Yang Tianlu stopped saying anything and ordered people to handle the matter.
After walking around for a while, Chen Jingke felt his mouth was a little dry. He subconsciously looked around and saw that there was no place selling water.
Then he couldn't help but slap his forehead, this is ancient times, there are no shops and canteens.
However, Taoist temples should indeed have a place to provide boiling water. Such a large area cannot be used only for worshiping gods. Only by making it into an attraction can it create a wider influence, and attractions have particularly high requirements for services.
There is no need to worry about eating. Visitors can bring their own or buy it at the small market at the door - the square at the door is prepared for the small market in the future.
If you are willing, you can pay to eat at the Taoist temple, just like the Shaolin Temple provides vegetarian meals to tourists.
Even if you're hungry and don't eat, it doesn't matter. Being hungry for a meal is no big deal.
The key is water. Being unable to replenish water in time when you are thirsty is really uncomfortable.
It's very tiring after walking around such a big place, especially in the summer when it's hot and easy to sweat. It's normal to be thirsty.
Moreover, it is not convenient to carry water out in this era, so it is very necessary for Taoist temples to provide hot water.
Thinking of this, Chen Jingke told the two of them his idea, and they also thought it was a good idea.
Yang Tianlu said: "It's a good idea. People in need have been helped, and the Taoist temple has gained a reputation. I think it's feasible."
Sun Simiao also said: "Yes, this method is indeed feasible and beneficial at no cost."
So they called the chef Jiang Zhuo, and they walked around the yard and selected five places to place the water tanks.
After discussing the matter of adding hot water, Yang Tianlu added: "To prevent anyone from being malicious, someone needs to be guarding the water tank."
Sun Simiao said: "It is a mature and prudent thing to say that you are in charge of the capital. You must be on guard against others. Jiang Duchu, I will leave this matter to you. You must arrange it well."
Jiang Zhuo said: "Here."
After everything here was almost settled, Chen Jingke set off for the outer courtyard, preparing to give instructions to the craftsmen on their work.
I happened to see Zhang Ruiguang, the head of the warehouse, leading people to distribute clothes, cloth and other necessary daily necessities to the homes of the craftsmen. The excited craftsmen naturally expressed their gratitude and loyalty.
Chen Jingke already knew how to deal with this situation, and just told them: "I like to be straightforward in my work, and I also have clear rewards and punishments."
"If you work hard, you will get more than you do now. If you don't work hard, even wanting to go back to the old days is a luxury."
Even so, the craftsmen were grateful to him.
The naked reality made Chen Jingke understand more deeply what Mr. Lu Xun said: an era when being a slave is unavailable.
They were in this situation before, but now they are just given the opportunity to work as cows and horses, and they start to be grateful.
Is it fair? It is ridiculous to talk about fairness in a class society.
After that, he took ten craftsmen to the printing workshop and prepared to try engraving printing.
