I'm telling fortunes in North America. I'm really not a wizard.

Chapter 135 Who should I give it to? She doesn't believe it
Some people say that Americans or Mexicans don't actually like Chinese food.

Because they have their own food culture.

Therefore, real Chinese food is not very popular in America.

But anyone who has been there knows, or anyone who has been to a truly high-end Chinese restaurant knows, that truly high-end Chinese food, no matter which country or city it is in, is mostly popular among a group of people who can really afford it.

As for those small Chinese restaurants on the street, most of them cook the dishes at home and the prices are not too expensive.

Because the customer base is low-income foreigners, the ingredients and cooking techniques are just so-so.

There are even some Chinese restaurants that add a lot of sugar and salt to their food in order to cater to the tastes of lower-class Americans.

This gives people the illusion that most Americans don’t like Chinese food and that Chinese food is cheap.

in fact.

The dishes in today's buffet may seem rough, but they actually restore the essence of food.

The best ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods to bring out their deliciousness.

The delicious taste of this ingredient itself is actually suitable for the taste of most people in the world.

This is why many people are tired of eating delicacies from land and sea in the city, but have a big appetite when they return to the countryside for banquets.

Because of this, these Mexicans devoured this most essential delicacy when they first encountered it.

But when I was enjoying my meal the most, I suddenly heard the most experienced companion say this.

In an instant...the sky fell!!!

The movements of everyone shoveling food into their mouths seemed to be frozen in time. There were even two people who stopped too hastily and the food got stuck in their trachea. In the blink of an eye, they were coughing so hard that their lungs were broken.

……

The Mexicans in the cell spent the whole night in fear, and they didn't even wait for someone to come and take them out and shoot them.

Qiu Ming, who came quietly and left quietly, was very satisfied after getting a positive answer from Chen Yaozu.

And the news spread quickly. The next morning, when Tian Erdai brought his new wife to video call his father, his father already knew a lot of the inside story.

In the video, the young couple bowed deeply to their parents on the other end of the video, and then heard their mother's instructions.

"I heard from your father that there will be no changes in your marriage from now on, and it is witnessed by heaven, earth, humans, gods and ghosts.

Since there are no variables, the two of you should care about each other, give to each other, love and support each other until old age.

Moreover, your father also found out that because of the marriage certificate approved by heaven and earth, the reproductive barrier between you two humans and ghosts has been resolved.

In other words, my daughter-in-law can give us a few grandchildren. If she can, it should be done sooner!
In addition, the most important point is: son, you must be safe over there!"

Then, Tian Fangfei, as the new daughter-in-law, chatted a lot with her mother-in-law in the video.

……

last night.

Chen Yaozu and his family also lived in the backyard of this yamen.

Especially after seeing the oriental-style wedding yesterday, Audrey was unusually proactive.

So when it was bright in the morning, she was still sleeping, while Olivia and the two children had already gone back to school.

Chen Yaozu had no choice but to call and ask for a day off for Audrey, but he couldn't take a day off himself because there was another case waiting for him.

after all.

A wedding is just a wedding. Although the power of the Ming Xuanwei Office was exercised, when it was the first time that weddings and funerals were conducted in accordance with the laws and customs of the Ming Dynasty, it was ultimately just an educational achievement and had no authority.

Since ancient times.

The Eastern peoples have an evaluation of the barbarians around them: they fear their power but not their virtue.

Being able to educate is naturally a good thing, but the prerequisite is that the education is done after the local people have been conquered, so that it will be more effective.

So, theoretically speaking, the Ming Dynasty's Xuanweisi Yamen, which was set up to suppress the surrounding barbarian lands, was one leg to intimidate the locals, and the other leg was to educate them after they were intimidated.

The educational effect of yesterday's wedding made his control over the government office like a man with a broken leg, something was not right.

As long as he can establish Wei Li today, he can consider that he has finally got the leg of the Ming Dynasty Xuanwei Office back.

The people from the Fuqing Gang had dispersed last night, but Wenzhou Yu, Zhou Jiping, Li Jianguo and forty-nine other disciples who protected the Dharma were still there.

He deliberately kept some people behind, saying that he had plans for them today.

"Hu Ying, beat the drum to gather the troops!"

It stands to reason that if it is a local administrative office, no matter it is a county office, a prefectural office, or a provincial government office, it should not use the method of beating drums to gather people.

But the Ming Xuanwei Office was not an ordinary administrative office. It was a military and political office in charge of the Ming Dynasty's suppression of barbaric areas. It was mainly based on military and coercion.

So, once the troops are gathered.

That is the beating of the drum... one arrow pierces the clouds, and thousands of troops come to meet!

Even the newlywed Tian Erdai, who had supported Tian Fangfei several times when she had restrained her charm, was notified.

Looking at the crowd in the hall, at a glance, they were basically all there, including Audrey who was just sleeping in the backstage, and was also attracted by the drumbeats.

Chen Yaozu thought about this for a while, and then decided to get straight to the point without saying anything else.

“Except for Tian Hao and his wife and my wife, all those present are my guardians.

Therefore, today I want to be honest with you all.”

He stood up from the seat of the chief official in the court, walked a few steps to the hall, turned around and pointed at the four big characters "正大光明" on the ceiling and said: "You are all my disciples' guardians. You should know that the twenty-fifth branch of my sect is dedicated to cultivating immortals."

No one was surprised by this.

The magic of Chen Yaozu and the many mysterious things happening around him have proved that the world they see is just the tip of the real iceberg.

So, what's so strange about a person who practices Taoism saying that he is practicing Taoism?

“Perhaps you were still wondering why I spent so much money to build this imitation of an ancient oriental government office.

Then I will tell you today that this is the foundation for our enlightenment!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone below had different expressions. They really couldn't figure out how such a newly built house, a building imitating an ancient government office, could be related to the foundation of enlightenment?

but.

They had a blind trust in Chen Yaozu. Since Chen Yaozu said that this was the foundation for enlightenment for everyone present, then it must be so. It could be true or not.

So he remained silent and waited for Chen Yaozu's next words.

Chen Yaozu didn't hear any questions, so of course he continued talking.

"During the Ming Dynasty, in order to govern the pass areas, a Xuanweisi government office was established in the places conquered by the Ming Dynasty.

For example, there were traces of Xuanwei Offices in Jiugang, Manchijia, Sikkim, and even as far away as Africa. "Chen Yaozu said, pointing to the chief officer's seat in the hall: "And in North America, there should have been Xuanwei Offices of the Ming Dynasty in the past!
Otherwise, the twenty-five governances of the Taoist sect I established would not have been so smooth, and I also got a glimpse of a chance to achieve enlightenment.

Thus, the current Ming Dynasty North American Xuanwei Office has been re-established on this land, replacing the palace to help us practice.

I am in charge of the post of the Ming Dynasty's envoy, but there are not enough people in this office. What is needed is to fill all the functions of the office so that it can be useful for cultivation."

Having said that, if you still don’t understand, then you don’t deserve to get any benefits later.

Li Jianguo was particularly excited but he was forcibly restraining himself, and he was very tactful: "Please give us your orders, envoy. We will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Chen Yaozu actually felt that this person, who was so sensible and capable of supporting the main role, was worthy of being a professor.

But his eyes seemed to have evolved since he woke up this morning.

At a glance, one could see the flames of luck on the old man Li Jianguo's head and shoulders. Although strong, they were like water without roots and fire without a source. No one knew when they suddenly went out.

He wanted to sigh, but thought better of it and held back:

"Li Jianguo!"

Li Jianguo quickly stood up and responded, "Yes!"

Chen Yaozu turned around and placed the bronze official seal on the case in the palm of his hand. He looked back at Li Jianguo with a serious expression and spoke slowly.

"I originally planned to call you to be the chief clerk last night. With your knowledge, you should be worthy of this position!
But you are a person who has fled your country and have not obtained American citizenship. Now you are like a tree without roots and water without a source. You cannot bear such great blessings.

But when it comes to disaster relief, you worked tirelessly and offered suggestions, which were quite effective. You gained some merit in disaster relief, which gave you some ability to bear it.

Therefore, I can only order you to temporarily take over the position of Chief Clerk of the Ming Dynasty's North American Xuanwei Office. Are you willing?"

ha?
"Of course, I am willing to accept the position of acting chief clerk!"

Li Jianguo felt cold all over after hearing one sentence after another. He thought he had no hope, but he did not expect that in the end, he would be appointed to temporarily take over the position of the chief clerk of this yamen.

Although it's a temporary position, but with a good start, it shouldn't be difficult to get a permanent position.

So I happily agreed.

The moment Li Jianguo agreed, his mental state, which had been feeling a little weak, immediately calmed down.

He even felt a little fuller. His body, now in its 50s and almost 60s, straightened up a little more instantly.

Although Tian Erdai didn't quite understand it, with the female ghost lady by his side and the psychological preparation given by the golden words on the marriage certificate last night, he was very receptive to new things.

He obviously understood that being able to hold a position in the so-called Ming Dynasty North American Xuanwei Office was probably a great opportunity for everyone present.

The enthusiasm and expectations of everyone present were finally aroused.

Everyone wanted to have the next mouthful of hot soup, so they all looked at Chen Yaozu, waiting for him to speak.

"Wenzhou Yu, although you are an American citizen, you have done a lot of evil in the past ten years.

But not long ago you participated in disaster relief work. You were never lazy or slack, and saved countless lives.

Although it cannot offset the merits and demerits, it can give you some confidence to bear the blessings.

Therefore, I appoint you as the Dianshi of the Ming Dynasty's North American Xuanwei Office.

This position is responsible for arresting, inspecting prisoners, and maintaining public order. Are you willing?"

Wenzhou Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly stood up and said loudly that he was willing. After he said this, he had the same feeling as Li Jianguo.

The mental fatigue was swept away and he was instantly revived with full health.

He finally understood why Li Jianguo had such an indifferent feeling just now, because only he himself knew his own feelings best.

"Hu Ying!"

"exist!"

A dashing woman in red armor appeared in front of everyone, followed by several white armored soldiers.

"You are a mirror spirit, and you have merits!

Therefore, today I summon you to be the captain of the Ming Dynasty's North American Mission Office, and lead the thirty-six ghosts of the Spirit Mirror as soldiers.

Responsible for all mysterious conflicts, arresting mysterious criminals, ghosts and evil spirits, resisting and guarding the Xuanwei Division and other military affairs. "

Hu Ying was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly agreed: "My Lord, Hu Ying will not fail in his mission!"

As soon as this appointment came down, the sense of nothingness that originally belonged to a ghost in her body was somewhat lessened, and at this moment, she even exuded a bit of a vigorous and powerful military aura.

Next, the only person left was Sicheng, who was responsible for all the documents and archives, warehouses, grain and horses, taxation and other matters.

Responsible for the teaching of cultural education.

As well as inspections of inspection work at key checkpoints.

At this moment, everyone present looked at each other with anticipation, waiting for the next three positions to be assigned.

The position of Sicheng is the most important, and the responsibilities he is responsible for are equivalent to those of the deputy of the Xuanweishi, that is, the second-in-command of the Ming Dynasty Xuanweisi office.

Although this yamen is not a real government office, they have taken this position, not because they passed the exam to become officials.

But Chen Yaozu, the Heavenly Master in Charge, just said that this Ming Xuanwei Office is related to the foundation of enlightenment.

Enlightenment!
Everyone knows that this means becoming an immortal!
The higher the position, the higher the opportunities.

Logically speaking, in terms of daily position, Zhou Jiping has the highest status among all the people present.

He is the new leader and new hall master of the Los Angeles branch of the Fuqing Gang.

Although everyone knows that Zhou Jiping is just a pawn planted by Chen Yaozu to control the Los Angeles branch of the Fuqing Gang.

But precisely because of this, Zhou Jiping believed that he was Chen Yaozu's confidant, and who else but him could take on the position of Si Cheng?

"If I can become the Minister of the Ministry, I will ask the Heavenly Master to let you be the teacher. You and I are both teachers, so you are the right person to be in charge of education!"

But it was his wife who was more sober. She gently pulled his sleeve and whispered in his ear:
"Look at Professor Li, he is a fugitive from the country, and his knowledge and ability to handle things are far better than ours.

That's all he got as a temporary chief clerk.

Aren't you and I the same people who escaped from the country as mentioned by the Heavenly Master?"

She knew in her heart that if it really came down to it, Professor Li's weight was much greater than theirs!

At the very least, Professor Li has given back to society for many years and has taught many students, but he just ran away when he was about to retire.

It doesn't mean that we have let down the country and society for their cultivation.

However, the couple enjoyed a peaceful society, fair education, and were beneficiaries of state education subsidies since childhood.

As a result, I got wet not long after I started working!
Just now, the Heavenly Master in charge said that Professor Li, who fled the country, has little luck and no roots, so he cannot bear that position.

Can my husband bear it?
She doesn't believe it!
