Chapter 45: Zhao Dan

Just hearing the sound of "boom", the last battle came to an end, but Danmu hit Wanqiu on the chest with a hammer, sending Wanqiu flying backwards a foot away, and fell firmly to the ground.

On a big rock.

Wanqiu pointed at the pill tree, blood surged from his mouth, and said, "Treachery..."

Dan Mu said fiercely: "Fight against the Dao Sect and the Ming Dynasty, you will deserve to die!"

Wanqiu managed to raise a finger and pointed at Danmu. He wanted to argue, but he could only breathe out, unable to breathe in: "You... are talking nonsense..."

Danmu took out a sheepskin from his arms, placed it on Wanqiu's face, and shouted loudly: "Am I talking nonsense? This is the evidence of your rebellion! The thief actually wants to recruit me into his gang. Don't you know that I, Danmu, have always been loyal to the Taoist sect?

I was just making excuses with you that day!"

Wanqiu was so angry that his eyes turned black, he immediately held his breath and died.

Danmu threw away the hammer in his hand, walked up to Qu Fenghe, and said with a flattering smile: "Master Quxian, we're done, the thief has been killed, thank you Master Xian for your help!"

In the White Horse Courtyard, Yuan Hao, the supervisor, Gu Tengfeng, the governor, Lei Shan, the cook, and Li Zhining, the new governor (formerly known as Zhike), were all very happy. The three issues that had troubled Hongyuan for six years have now been settled.

The hospital has more than 60,000 people in all three departments, and the population under its rule has exceeded 130,000!

Zhao Ran looked at the danmu kneeling at his feet and felt very emotional for a moment. He thought that the bloodline really had its origin, and it was not groundless. Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and mice's children can dig holes. Forty

Many years ago, Danmu's father led the Dangxiang people into the mountains to annihilate the Chama tribe. Today, more than 40 years later, Danmu has inherited his father's legacy and introduced the Taoist sect into the mountains to annihilate the Chama tribe. It is indeed the same tradition.

"I originally thought that Mei Si of the Qionghe tribe was the most aware of current affairs. He was the first among the three tribes to surrender, cooperate with the Taoist sect, and abolish the backward tribal system. Therefore, I planned to give him the best preferential treatment, and I also gave him

The best conditions. I didn’t expect that you, Dan Mu, also had this determination and knowledge, and did an excellent job, making the first contribution to Hongyuan’s eternal peace. Our Taoist sect does not hesitate to reward, and we treat Meisi preferentially.

The same applies to you."

Danmu was overjoyed. He decisively did such a big thing and gave the Chama Department to Baimayuan just for this treatment. Now with Zhao Ran's promise, he can ensure that his descendants will have enough food and clothing.

"Thank you, abbot! Danmu was shattered into pieces. There is no way to repay the abbot's great kindness. From now on, the abbot is my master and my father. Danmu plans to change his surname to Zhao, so please give me a name from the abbot!"

Zhao Ran was a little bit dumbfounded. He had heard about these tribal leaders. It seemed that it was also a custom for them to change their surname to the strong. Danmu's father, Danzhu, changed his surname to Guo Li when the Dangxiang people ruled Hongyuan. Now Danmu

I also made this request, but I didn't expect that it would be my turn.

After thinking about it, Zhao Ran decided to refuse: "It's against the rules. You can call yourself whatever you want. You don't have to change your surname after me. Even if you don't change your surname, as long as you abide by the rules of the Ming Dynasty and the laws of the White Horse Court, the White Horse Court will take care of you."

, I won’t make you suffer.”

But Dan Mu had a determined look on his face: "The villain really admires the abbot and is impressed by the abbot's magnanimity. This is a private matter of the villain and has nothing to do with others or the Longbai Department. The villain has decided that from now on his surname will be Zhao.

, if the abbot does not give me a name, the villain can be called Zhao Dan, with a passionate heart dedicated to the abbot."

Zhao Ran tried to persuade him a few times, but he didn't listen. Zhao Ran had no choice but to let him do what he wanted.

Yuan Hao said: "Zhebo Mountain and Yanggong Mountain, how much property there is in these two mountains, all belong to him. Well, at least half of them belong to him. What a good life."

Zhao Ran said: "He has sacrificed all his troops, so we can't be too stingy. Besides, this was an agreement made before. Now that he has settled the matter, we can't break our promise, right? It's just two mountains, and the letter from the Taoist sect."

It's not worth mentioning compared to Nuo."

Looking at the set of knives in his hand, Zhao Ranfei Fu Dongfangli said: "Brother Li, I found a set of magic weapons in the Chama Department. I wonder if it will be helpful to your investigation?"

After a long time, Dongfang Li replied: "I know, I'll go to Songfan later. I'm in Zhejiang right now and can't spare any time."

Zhao Ran was a little surprised that for such a big case, Dongfang Li actually said that he was not free at the moment and didn't know what he was busy with, but it was difficult to ask, so he had to give up.

After solving the three problems, the follow-up matters are still very arduous and cumbersome, such as registering for naturalization, allocating pastures, issuing charity loans, establishing Baojia settlements, organizing the supply of cattle and sheep farm tools, etc. I won't be able to settle down in less than half a year.

Yes, it can be expected that until the end of this year, the people in Baimayuan will be busy.

At the same time, Charity Fund Manager Li also came over to sound the alarm to Zhao Ran. So far, Charity Fund has handled more than 10,000 loans in Hongyuan, totaling 130,000 taels of silver. Long Bai and Chama Mining Ministries

After going down the mountain, I can't cope with it without a hundred thousand taels.

In Long'an Mansion, the total amount of charity funds loaned out has been maintained at around 100,000 taels all year round. With the wealth of charity funds, it is not possible to spend more than 300,000 taels of silver.

As a last resort, Zhao Ran could only add 50,000 taels of silver to make up for the shortage of stubs. Fortunately, this was Zhao Ran's own "sole proprietorship" industry and he did not carry out large-scale savings business. Otherwise, when the depositors heard the news, they would be

If there is a trend of bank runs, charity funds will not be able to continue.

Taking advantage of the craze for "liberating the slaves" in Hongyuan, Zhao Ran held two large-scale fasting festivals in Baima Courtyard and Xiaojie Temple in June.

On June 6th, the day when Nandou Xingjun descended, the Nandou Longshou Lantern Ceremony was held in Xiaojie Temple. On June 19th, the day when Master Cihang became enlightened, a more solemn invitation ceremony was held in Baima Yuan.

The holding of the two rituals gathered many tribal believers, and at the same time allowed more tribesmen to understand the efficacy and magic of Taoist rituals. Of course, it is a long-term process for people to truly convert, but with

With a large believer base, Zhao Ran believes that Hongyuan’s credibility will jump to a higher level every year.

As the top abbot of a place, Zhao Ran needs to steer the rudder and steer the ship in Hongyuan when it sails. What is steering? In other words, it means having clear long-, medium- and short-term plans, and what goals are to be achieved within three years.

What goals should be achieved within a year, what goals should be achieved within half a year, or within three months, one must have a clear understanding, mobilize manpower and financial resources to complete them according to the goals set, and focus on these goals. This is steering

, otherwise you will be trapped in endless transactional work.

Zhao Ran's short-term goal in Baimayuan's plan was to solve the problem of farmland and pasture, a goal he had accomplished in the first half of the year.

The mid-term goal is to form a virtuous cycle of substantial growth in Hongyuan's credibility, reaching a higher level every year. He achieved this goal within two years.

The long-term goal is to solve the problem of the three tribes. Once this problem is solved, his term as abbot will be considered complete. The next six months will be to consolidate this goal, that is, to resettle the tribesmen who have come down the mountain and let them gradually live a normal life.

, providing credibility to Taoism.

Therefore, the next six months were Zhao Ran's period of "ruling by inaction" as the abbot, leaving administrative work to Yuan Hao and other subordinates in the supervisory hall. He tried not to give orders or dictate, and tried to avoid interference with administrative work.
