It is still an alley in the north of Guyang County, and it is still the Jinzhai that occupies half of the alley. This time when Zhao Ran came, he was no longer the little Taoist boy who chanted sutras. The head of the square hall was the eighth deacon of the Taoist temple.

A first-level figure, compared to Jinxian Lieutenant, is already an invisible enemy and can be discussed from afar.

Jinxian Lieutenant and Jin Jiu stepped down to welcome Zhao Ran outside the gate and invited Zhao Ran into the house. Entering the second courtyard and entering the flower hall, Jinxian Lieutenant took the main seat and Zhao Ran took the guest seat. Jin Jiu, who was dressed in Taoist uniform this time

I am also qualified to take the seat, and I accompany you at the last seat with a happy face.

During the Chinese New Year, when host and guest met, they had to exchange greetings first. After saying a few auspicious words, Jinxian Lieutenant turned the conversation to the purpose of the banquet. He mainly wanted to thank Zhao Ran for the central plan and benefited his son Erlang.

Zhao Ran worked hard on the issue of the ultimatum. Zhao Ran said a few polite words and complimented Jin Jiu casually, saying that Jin Jiu was reliable and diligent in his work. This was Jin Jiu's own outstanding performance and he was accepted into the prison hospital and Sandu. He did not dare to take credit for it.

These kind words are Zhao Ran's words of self-effacement. Jinxian Lieutenant certainly knows what is going on with his Erlang. Putting aside the unreliability of his work, "diligence and progress" cannot be put on Jin Jiu's head in any way. So on the one hand,

He scolded Jin Jiu for "obeying Fangzhu Zhao's orders" and asked Jin Jiu to serve tea to Zhao Ran.

The Jin family is the local leader of Guyang County. Jin County's official position is not high, but he holds real power. In fact, his official official name should be "Dian Shi". Dian Shi was originally responsible for cashier Wen Yi, and later gradually evolved into Chief Secretary.

He was responsible for supervising prisoners and training young men. In later generations, he was the director of public security and the minister of armed forces. This responsibility is similar to that of the county captain in the previous dynasty. Therefore, the people call him "county captain", and "Dian Shi" is the opposite.

Unsatisfactory.

The county captain is the chief official, not the head of a county, nor the second sergeant. It is very difficult to be promoted, so the Jin family must consider an important issue. If the Jin county captain falls or even dies unexpectedly, what will happen to the Jin family?

There must be disciples who can stand up and hold up the facade. The position of County Lieutenant offends many people. Without the backbone of Jin County Lieutenant, the whole family will die without knowing how.

There are two sons of Jinxian Lieutenant. The eldest was selected as a scholar, but failed continuously in the provincial examination. There is no hope for the time being. Instead, the second son, who has always been stubborn, received an ultimatum. He became a sutra chanting Taoist boy, and with this level of identity,

It is an excellent talisman for the Jin family, so Jinxian Lieutenant is so grateful to Zhao Ran.

Jin Xianwei did not expect Jin Jiu to study hard in the Sutra Hall and get a top grade in the exam, but he was afraid that he would not learn and have no skills and would always rank at the bottom after taking the exam.

He may be expelled. How much power does Zhao Fangzhu have in Wujiyuan? Jin Xianwei and Jin Jiu both know about it, especially Jin Jiu. The shock is even more profound. In addition to expressing gratitude, I invite Fangzhu Zhao to the banquet today.

The meaning of flattery is to ask Fangzhu Zhao not to let go of his son Erlang, but to take more care of him when he encounters difficulties.

This problem is not a problem for Zhao Ran at all. Liu Zhiguang, the high-ranking scholar, and Fang Zhihe, the sutra master, all have a very close relationship with him. As long as Jin Jiubie makes too much trouble, anything can be settled with just a greeting, so he

He was not polite and agreed immediately, which made Lieutenant Jin Xian breathe a sigh of relief. Jin Jiu was happy to serve him at the side.

After the banquet was over and the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves, Jinxian Wei said: "In the early summer, Master Fang came to our house with the Song Dynasty Supervisor and left a scroll as a gift. Now Jin has no choice but to apologize to Master Fang. The calligraphy on the scroll...

Jin couldn't keep it and was snatched away by his friends. I feel really ashamed to say that."

Zhao Ran knew the drama was coming as soon as he heard it, so he said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. If Jin County Lieutenant likes it, Pindao can just write another one."

The captain of Jinxian County said happily: "In this way, you will be able to work hard."

Before he finished speaking, Jin Jiu had already brought up pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and was waiting for Zhao Ran to hold down the paper and inkstones.

Zhao Ran pondered for a while, then he wrote a piece of "Heaven rewards those who work hard" and said to Jin County Lieutenant: "I will give this letter to Junior Brother Jin for training."

Jinxian Wei hurriedly asked Jin Jiu to thank him, put away the calligraphy banner, and said: "Zhao Fangzhu's calligraphy has become famous in Sichuan Province. Not only is Zhou Counselor in the province very fond of it, many prefecture and county officials unanimously praise it. Jin has many

I am a close friend who sent me a letter to me a few years ago, asking for a piece of Mr. Zhao’s calligraphy to study it carefully. I also asked Mr. Zhao to grant his wish for Jin’s sake.”

Zhao Ran did not refuse. According to Jinxian Lieutenant's request, he took up his pen and wrote four more words, all of which were three feet large. Jinxian Lieutenant praised a few words, and asked Zhang to bring up a pile of silver notes and said: "This is

This is Master Fang's writing fee, please accept it."

Zhao Ran scanned it and estimated that there were about ten of them. The top one had a face value of one hundred taels, which translated into two hundred taels for each calligraphy. He secretly thought that my calligraphy could be sold for such a high price! Of course he

Knowing that this was Jinxian Lieutenant's excuse to reward his merits, he was not polite and smiled happily.

After collecting the money, the three of them sat down again, and Zhao Ran began to talk about his own business. He supported Jin Jiu to come to power. In addition to Jin Jiu's efforts to flatter him, he also had other intentions, that is, through cooperation with Jin County Lieutenant, he would benefit for himself.

Make a long-term plan to cultivate your merits.

Jin Xianwei is in charge of the "public security" of the entire Guyang County. Many plans must be implemented smoothly with his help, such as the establishment of a relief station in the post station. Although the post station is under the Ministry of War of the imperial court, many matters require the cooperation of the local government, especially those that require assistance.

Jinxian Lieutenant cooperated. The simplest example is that the inns are all on the official roads in the outskirts, far away from the city. Especially large inns like Heshan Post, which have abundant property and are often visited by dignitaries, are often the primary targets of bandits.

, if the public security is not stable and something bad happens, the punishment for the post manager will be extremely severe. This requires the county to regard the post station as a key protection target and often dispatch Yamen and Minzhuang to inspect it.

Sending people to inspect is not the fundamental way to solve the problem. In fact, it is a safe way for the county lieutenant to "pass the word" and tell the desperadoes "not to cause nuisance." Because there are brave and ruthless desperadoes in a county.

Even bandits in the mountains often have names and surnames among the county captains. Words from the county to take care of them are better than any inspection.

This was what Zhao Ran had in mind, and he wanted Jinxian Lieutenant to come forward and help him set up relief stations at Heshanyi and Liuzhuangyi.

Jinxian Wei first said "Fangzhu has mercy", and then patted his chest to guarantee that there would be no problem on Liu Zhuangyi's end. Yi Cheng and himself had always been on good terms. This was both a small matter and a good thing. Liu Zhuangyi would not refuse it. But it was a cooperation.

Things were not easy to handle on the other side of Shanyi. Zhong Yicheng followed the path of Kong Xianzun, and he was not very considerate to himself. If he wanted to get things done, Kong Xianzun had to come forward.

Zhao Ran said that Liuzhuangyi should be Liuzhuangyi. Let’s assume one is the other. Heshanyi will talk about it later when he has the opportunity to meet Kong Xianzun.

So Jin County Lieutenant handed the matter over to Jin Jiu and asked him to handle it. Zhao Ran took out fifty taels of silver notes and gave them to Jin Jiu. Jin Jiu quickly refused, saying that this matter was a good thing and he had to contribute.

How could Zhao Ran get Jin Jiu to pay for it, and how would he get his own merit? After insisting several times, Jin Jiu had no choice but to accept the banknote, vowing that he would get it done.

Jinxian Lieutenant asked: "If Master Zhao has such kind thoughts, why doesn't he set up his own porridge shed instead of going to the post station to give alms?"

Zhao Ran said: "This is exactly what I want from Jinxian Lieutenant. I plan to set up a relief station outside the pine forest two miles east of the city. It is an uninhabited wilderness. I only need the help of Jinxian Lieutenant and Kong County Lord.

Just say hello and we can start work. Of course, I will discuss with the Song Supervisory Yuan and ask the Wuji Yuan to issue an official document to the county government. When the time comes, Jin County Lieutenant will have to take care of it."

Jin Xianwei smiled and said: "This is a good deed. Jin certainly helped me with all his strength. Lord Fang is so considerate."

Setting up a relief station is not a simple matter. It involves many issues such as land, public security, tax items, etc., especially in terms of public security. When giving rice porridge, hundreds of people gather in one place, and the county government must nod.

Government officials must be dispatched to maintain order. As for the gangsters causing trouble, it is even more important for Jinxian Lieutenant to speak out. If Jinxian Lieutenant says "help us with all our strength," then this matter will most likely be done smoothly.

Zhao Ran was very happy when the matter was settled, and he also told about his recruitment of civilian men to repair houses for the people in the village. This was also to inform County Lord Jin to avoid misunderstanding by the county.

Zhao Ran left the Jin family's mansion, and Jin County Lieutenant said to Jin Jiu: "This Zhao Fangzhu's every move has profound meanings. No wonder he has risen so fast. You should stay with him and learn more when you have time."

Jin Jiuwu was confused and said: "I don't know what he wants to do with so much money... This is not a small amount of money..."

Jinxian Lieutenant sighed: "This is a request for fame! Zhao Fangzhu's plans are far-reaching, and his future achievements are immeasurable!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
