A Petty Official Chapter 22

Since Ethan Yun had many "commissioned works" outside, the abbot had to settle his royalties. Ethan Yun only kept the part that was for his own adaptations, and after some negotiations, he told the abbot to donate the rest to the temple.

It is not surprising to donate money and land to temples. There are officials in the court who donate most of their monthly salaries to temples.

The abbot thought that although the storytellers were no longer targeting lay monks, it was impossible for the masters under their command to provide manuscripts to Daxiangguo Temple. The previous ones were still unknown in purpose. If those masters were not professional storytellers, where did they come from?

The abbot tentatively asked Ethan Yun if he wanted to contact the person who wrote the book. Sure enough, Ethan Yun refused. The abbot thought that he probably wanted to control the source of the manuscript himself, which was Ethan Yun's own ability. What's more, so much of the manuscript fee was donated, so he tacitly did not mention it.

Ethan Yun thought to himself that when the number of lay monks increased, he could ask the abbot to transfer him to the temple fair department - the name he himself gave to the monks in charge of the temple fair.
