Taoism emphasizes pure cultivation and does not pursue tall palaces.

But that doesn't mean they don't like splendor.

Taoists are very tolerant. They will not look down on you because you are dressed in rags, nor will they hate the rich because of their tall buildings.

It’s like a person with a wide range of tastes, who can eat at roadside stalls and also go to five-star hotels.

As soon as Zhang Cong saw the design drawings, he fell in love with this Taoist temple.

He is young at heart and doesn't know how to refuse or give in!

"To be honest, sir, I am actually the grandson of Taiyi Zhenren's disciple. Last night..."

In order to increase his persuasiveness, Zhang Cong even took out the "Taiyi Huangce", and this book became circulated in a small range.

The Taiyi Zhenhai Taoist Temple is entirely made of reinforced concrete structure for the purpose of strengthening it.

There are many typhoons in the south, and the Taoist temple is only one kilometer away from the sea. If it is not built firmly, it will be blown down and it will be useless to suppress the sea.

The local rich man is named Feng Ru, nicknamed Zuodihu, and is an out-and-out local tyrant and evil gentry.

Every era has lucky people, and Feng Ru is one of them.

This guy was a landlord of moderate size. A week before Xie Zhiyu arrived, he sold his land, moved his family to Hong Kong, and started speculating in land.

The entire Chinese nation was in a panic, and those who were rich, powerful and well-connected were all running away, and Hong Kong was one of the destinations.

No matter what era, once a large influx of population occurs, housing prices will rise.

Feng Ru not only made money in Hong Kong, but also hooked up with a big shot: "Asia's No. 1" Zhao Zhi.

Hu Zhenhua was determined to develop Bao'an County, and Feng Ru was sent there because he was familiar with the area. Because of his eloquence, he was chosen by Zhuge Lin to manage the temple economy.

Feng Ru solemnly returned the Taiyi Yellow Book and said with a smile,

"Mr. Feng is so lucky to have such an opportunity! But the secret is so obscure that I cannot understand it!"

Not only him, but also the young Taoist Zhang Cong couldn't understand it. It was full of animals. Could it be a children's comic?

However, Zhang Cong pretended to be mysterious.

"Laymen, do not underestimate yourself. Comprehending the mysteries of heaven requires opportunity, and you must wait patiently!"

"Yes Yes Yes Yes!"

Hu Zhenhua had been standing at a distance listening. He was about to step forward to make his presence felt when suddenly a worker shouted,

"God damn it! You're the pill-stealing rat Hu Zhenhua!"

Dan-stealing rat?

What is this ghost?

Hu Zhenhua was still in a daze when another worker asked,

"Brother, what does the elixir taste like?"

Everyone seemed to recognize Hu Zhenhua and pointed at him.

Some superstitious people cursed Lao Hu and even wanted to beat him up.

Looking at their indignant expressions, one can tell that they were bewitched by the old and experienced Taiyi Zhenren.

The poorer the place, the more likely it is for cults to breed.

Ordinary people see no hope in reality and want to find some comfort in the spiritual world.

Another villager looked at Hu Zhenhua,

"Brother, are Daozu's pills particularly nourishing?"

His eyes looked strange, which puzzled Lao Hu.

But one thing is certain, that old Taoist priest with a big nose must have made up something bad again.

Hu Zhenhua was about to ask when a loud shout came from the side.

"This is Taiyi Zhenhai Taoist Temple. How dare you, a rat, come here to provoke us? How arrogant! Beat him to death!"

In everything, we are afraid of someone taking the lead. Once there is a first person, there will be a second and a third.

A group of people picked up weapons and prepared to beat up Lao Hu.

This really pissed off Hu Zhenhua.

I give you food, drink, and jobs.

you……

Lan Shian grabbed Lao Hu and ran away!

If you don’t run, you will definitely get beaten!

They are just ordinary people, how can we use guns against them?

Hu Zhenhua was a little resistant at first, but when a machete flew past his ear and nailed to the wooden stake in front of him, Lao Hu no longer needed to be dragged by anyone. His potential exploded and he almost broke the Guinness World Record.

Never try to show off when you shouldn't be reasonable.

There was a jeep parked outside the Taoist temple. Hu Zhenhua jumped in and drove away.

"Foolishness!"

Inside the Taoist temple, Taiyi Zhenren, disguised as a worker, was smiling happily.

"You're too young to fight me!"

The most dangerous place is often also the safest place. After escaping, the old Taoist priest did the opposite and hid at the Taoist temple construction site.

He was feeling proud when he was suddenly kicked in the buttocks. The foreman shouted,

"What are you dawdling for? Move the stone over there! If you dare to slack off again, I'll kick you out!"

Taiyi Zhenren did not dare to refute and quickly started moving the stones.

Contractors are all quick-tempered. If you make him angry, you might get beaten up.

I have no choice but to do it, as I have already deposited a few dollars with him.

On the other side, Hu Zhenhua was furious.

As expected, the old Taoist priest with the big nose gave him another eye drop. The rumor goes like this:

In Hu Zhenhua's previous life, he was the rat in Tushita Palace. He was not good at that aspect, so he stole a waste elixir from Laojun. As a result, he overdid it and became extremely licentious. The fact that he now has two wives is proof of this!

This is not the most vicious thing.

The second half of the story says that the elixir is only effective for 20 years. Once the expiration date is reached, the person who takes the medicine (that is, Lao Hu) will be retaliated against and will no longer be able to live a normal life.

Hu Zhenhua will soon be 20 years old, which means he doesn't have much time to perform the Zhougong ritual.

"Ox-nosed people are indeed ruthless!"

Hu Zhenhua lay on the backrest, staring at the ceiling in a daze. He found it a little hard to understand. They just gave him a Taoist name, why was he so angry!

You Taoists are the most free and easy, so why do you care about this?

It's rude not to reciprocate!

Hu Zhenhua is not a person who can suffer a loss. He took out his notebook and added a plot for the old Taoist priest: Ox Nose fell to the mortal world and was mistakenly born as a pig.

In order to prevent the pigs from having a bad smell when they grow up, pig farmers castrate the piglets as soon as they are born (here is some popular pig farming knowledge).

Taiyi Zhenren, who was originally lustful, is now in trouble!

Not only did he have a human body and a pig face, and was as fat as a ball, he was also a eunuch!

Even so, this guy couldn't change his lustful habits. Since he could transform into 36 different forms, he often transformed himself into a skinny Taoist priest, and often touched the hands of female lay Buddhists when he was reading their fortunes.

He held a whisk in his hand and went around begging for food and drink.

After Hu Zhenhua finished writing, he checked it from beginning to end and felt very satisfied.

Apart from anything else, ordinary people are also happy to read the popular science knowledge about pig farming.

After doing all this, Hu Zhenhua turned back and went to Hong Kong.

Wang Yu, that old spy, is still not honest even after retirement. This time we must get rid of him once and for all!

Fu Zhenhua entered the Hong Kong River from Luohu Bridge.

Separated by a river, the living standards on both sides are very different.

From Hu Zhenhua's perspective, Hong Kong's level of development at that time was comparable to that of towns and villages in later generations.

The international financial center of later generations was just getting started at this time.

The development of a city is inseparable from its population. Before the War of Liberation, Hong Kong experienced two large-scale influxes of population.

The first was the Taiping Rebellion, during which Hong Kong's population rapidly increased from over 3 to over 12.

The second time was from the 30s to the 40s, when China was in chaos with warlords fighting each other, the Japanese invaders were eyeing China covetously, and the people were suffering from internal and external troubles. Hundreds of thousands of residents moved to Hong Kong with their families.

Recently, a large number of people have flocked to Hong Kong, including many well-known companies.

In terms of population structure, it can be roughly divided into four types: indigenous people, mainland immigrants, colonial officials and related personnel, immigrants from other countries and foreigners.

Politically, like many colonies, the Hong Kong government is controlled by the gentry, and the main officials are all gentry. They are the core of Hong Kong's ruling class. They hold Hong Kong's political power, are responsible for administrative management, judicial, public security and other affairs, have the power to formulate policies and regulations, and enjoy a high social status and generous treatment.

Economically, the gentry merchants and capitalists held a dominant position. They had close ties with the colonial government and controlled key industries in Hong Kong, such as trade, shipping, and finance, possessing vast wealth and resources. Their business activities and investment decisions had a significant impact on the direction of Hong Kong's economic development.

As a Chinese, Hu Zhenhua doesn't like the social atmosphere here at all, because people with yellow skin are second-class citizens here.

As soon as Lao Hu entered the country, he was stopped by two white patrolmen. They chattered in English and Lao Hu understood it without a translator. He often communicated with Carter and others, so how could he not understand English?

"Asians, stand up! Get checked!"

This group of arrogant white people don’t care whether you are rich or poor, they only care about the color of your skin.

If Lao Hu hadn't been surrounded by people, the two foreigners wouldn't have stopped him.

This is called a show of force!

Too many people have flocked to Hong Kong recently, including many powerful people.

In order to demonstrate their superiority, the foreigners often humiliated them at the ports.

Without a strong motherland, the people live worse than a dog!

Hu Zhenhua looked at the two patrolmen expressionlessly and said calmly,

"We don't have any luggage with us, what do we need to check?"

"Check if you are carrying any dangerous goods! Put your hands up, I want to search you!"

Hu Zhenhua didn't want to cause any more trouble and was about to cooperate, but he saw a white policeman next to him trying to search the incoming lady. Seeing the lustful look in his eyes, he knew he wanted to take advantage of her!

Of course the lady disagrees!

Several rifles were pointed at her head, and the police accused her of conspiracy and wanted to put her in jail.

The lady wanted to go back, but the foreigner wouldn't let her and slapped her roughly.

The crowd nearby was furious, but the surrounding police went up and hit them with the butts of their rifles, quickly quelling the protest!

The foreigner was very proud, laughing wildly, and chattering in bird language, which translated to:

"You bunch of yellow monkeys, be smart! This is Hong Kong, the land of gentlemen! No matter who you were before, when you come here, you have to coil up like a dragon and lie flat on your stomach like a tiger! If anyone breaks the rules, I'll give you cheap bastards a taste of the whip!"

The lady compromised and raised her hands with tears on her face!

The foreigner rubbed his hands, stared at the special parts of the lady's body, and laughed.

"That's right, don't worry, this is a civilized country, I'm very gentle!"

This guy seemed to have evil thoughts and actually wanted to drag the lady into the room to check.

Hu Zhenhua was filled with murderous intent. If the foreigner just wanted to extort some money or take advantage of him, he would never ask. But now, the compromise would result in him being treated with impunity!

Old Hu gave Xu Daguo a look, and he rushed to the lady's side and shouted,

"stop!"

Then he said in broken English,

"Mr. Policeman, my lady's cousin is General Xie Zhiyu. Please be flexible!"

As he said this, he handed over a banknote.

Hu Zhenhua was very satisfied with the performance of this traitor.

After spending so much time together, the guards knew what Lao Hu meant by a single gesture or a single look.

Hu Zhenhua must deal with Xu Daguo, but he has not yet figured out how to do it, so he lets this guy make meritorious contributions while serving his sentence.

Next to him, another guard secretly took out a video recorder and recorded everything that happened on film.

The white policeman was obviously horny. He turned a blind eye to the money and punched Xu Daguo.

"She has to be checked!"

Xu Daguo blocked the way to the ghost, not letting him get close, and shouted loudly,

"General Xie Zhiyu is my young lady's cousin. Please be flexible!"

The foreigner was furious and picked up a rifle and smashed it on Xu Daguo's face. In an instant, blood gushed out!

The foreigner hated Xu Daguo for ruining his plans, so he acted cruelly.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have been beaten to death long ago.

Although Xu Daguo was being beaten, he avoided the vital parts without making a sound. From the outside, it seemed that he was beaten very badly and was almost lying on the ground motionless.

Next, Hu Zhenhua comes on stage!

"Quickly, send me to the hospital!"

While he was shouting, he accidentally revealed the large amount of rice and RMB in his pocket, which was only seen by a few foreign policemen.

Those guys were fooled and started to search Lao Hu as soon as they caught him.

The guards rushed forward and the two sides began to push and shove.

In terms of numbers, the foreigners were at a disadvantage, but they were unwilling to give in. They loaded their guns and began blowing whistles to mobilize their forces.

Hu Zhenhua was spitting everywhere and trying to reason with the other party.

The foreigners are used to being arrogant and domineering, so how could they take a group of down-and-out Chinese people seriously?

Perhaps they grew impatient and began to beat with batons.

The shoving and pushing turned into a full-scale fight.

However, Hu Zhenhua and his guards did not fight back. They all gathered in a circle and huddled together for warmth!

It should be said that they are beaten together!

Lan Shian shouted loudly,

"Stop! We are Americans! We are Americans!"

The white guy didn't understand what he was yelling and thought he was protesting, so he beat him even harder!

They are not afraid even if someone dies. The authorities on the other side are almost like dogs that have lost their homes, and they dare not protest to the great country of gentlemen!

Even in their heyday, they were still the West's yes-men.

Video cameras are great things that can record anything people want to record.

One guard couldn't bear the beating anymore and grabbed the baton to fight back, but what greeted him was the opponent's bayonet!

In addition to the police, there is also a company stationed at the port.

After seeing blood, Lan Shian ordered a counterattack. The guards who were originally as weak as quails became more vigorous and powerful!

In the melee, a loud shout suddenly came out.

"The chairman was killed!"

Lan Shi'an was shocked and looked back, only to see a bayonet stuck in Hu Zhenhua's abdomen, with blood gushing out.

Lao Hu held the handle tightly and fell straight down! Fortunately, he was caught by someone, otherwise he would have died!

"Team One! Send the chairman to the hospital for emergency treatment!"

"Yes!"

"Team Two, cover Team One's evacuation!"

"Yes!"

"Team Three, break out to Bao'an County. Request reinforcements from General Xie!"

"Yes!"
