Chapter 4 Thanks for this world

ps: Thanks to yangzhigang, Mr. Cat Wearing Shoes, Master Lingsu for the reward, and thanks to Rifgh1, Miaoge, Mr. Cat, Buffett, etc. for their monthly votes and encouragement. Congratulations to brother yangzhigang for being promoted to protector.

In order to enter the path of spiritual practice as soon as possible, Zhao Ran no longer cares about the quality of his job. It doesn't matter if he can't be a guest, or it doesn't matter if the guest is "booked" in advance. He would rather give up the noble position of the quiet master of the sutra hall.

, just to seek promotion. But even so, judging from his resume of two and a half years since joining Wujiyuan, it is really too shocking.

After four months, he was transferred to the dining room from the private room, and he was directly promoted to the ultimatum in another four months. After one and a half years, he was promoted from the Taoist boy of the Jingtang Hall to the Master of Jing. Now the position of the Master of Jing is not yet popular, and he will be directly promoted to the Eight Deacons. This makes the supervisor

Courtyard Song Zhiyuan has a headache. The adjustment of a job involves all aspects. Controlling power through balance is the only way for superiors to consolidate their status. Zhao Ran's request will obviously break this balance. Now Wuji Court has

There are rumors that "Zhao Ran is Song Zhiyuan's godson". If Song Zhiyuan really wants to continue to promote Zhao Ran, Song Zhiyuan really doesn't know how to face the whole courtyard.

Looking at Zhao Ran's leaving figure, Song Zhiyuan couldn't help but smile bitterly. Who said Zhao Ran was my godson? He was my godfather.

After Zhao Ran left Song Zhiyuan's prison residence, he returned to his quiet master bedroom. He first walked around the three rooms of the bedroom, living room, and study room. He wiped his fingers on the table, doors and windows, and saw that

Everywhere is clean and free of dirt and dust. It is obvious that someone sweeps it frequently. He nodded with satisfaction. Although he has been away for more than three months, he seems to be still popular.

As soon as the door to his room opened, a well-informed Taoist boy from the Sutra Hall came to see him. Zhao Ran dealt with it casually for a while, then invited a Taoist boy to call Guan Er to come and meet him.

Guan Er was returning from a "mountain patrol" and hadn't had much rest. He heard that Zhao Ran was back and wanted to see him, so he didn't dare to delay, so he hurried over.

As soon as he saw Zhao Ran, Guan Erna bowed his head and said, "Master Jing, you are finally back!"

Zhao Ran is not yet Guan Erda, so it is a bit funny to be called "old man" now. Of course, this kind of title sounds very useful. Zhao Ran did not refuse, helped Guan Er and said: "Brother Guan, last time

I told you when I left the mountain that you don’t need to give me such a big gift. If you do this again, don’t blame me for falling out!"

Guan Er saw that Zhao Ran had not finished the book, so he accepted the "rebuke" willingly. He felt warm all over and didn't know what to say, so he sat down under Zhao Ran.

Zhao Ran was going to be the Fangtang leader, so he naturally first inquired about the current situation of Fangtang. Guan Er was transferred to Fangtang about half a month after Zhao Ran left the mountain. He has been working in Fangtang for more than two months, which is almost enough.

I am familiar with the situation. I will tell you the situation now. Jia Zhisun is forty-seven years old and has been working as the master of the temple for thirteen years. He is planning to get a house to welcome guests. The house is in charge of the Taoist courtyard property, including mountains and forests.

There is a lot of money in the farm and various shops. Jia Zhisun obviously wants to work as a receptionist for a few years and then go down to the mountain to retire, so Zhao Ran does not intend to compete with him for this position. Blocking people's way of making money is like killing their parents, which is not what Zhao Ran wants.

When it comes to money, you don't need to see red with Jia Zhisun's bayonet.

As a rule, under the head of the Fangtang Hall, there is a hall leader and two hall masters in charge. Among them, hall leader Mo has already caught a ride with Zhao Ran and went to the warehouse to serve as the head of the warehouse in June. Not only is the work easier,

It is protected from wind and rain, and the income is several times higher than before. Therefore, the current fangtang only has one steward, and the position of head is still vacant.

After Jia Zhisun was transferred to Yingbin, there were many people who wanted to be promoted to the position of Fangzhu, but the most promising one was Hall Master Jiang.

After roughly understanding Fang Tang's situation, Zhao Ran had a good idea. He asked Guan Er to come over. Of course, there was another matter.

"Brother Guan, when I left the mountain, I asked my second brother to help take care of my uncle and aunt in Zhao Village. I wonder how they are doing now?"

"Jingzhu is relieved. I have ordered the brothers in the escort agency to take out the two thousand silver coins left by Jingzhu, build a big house for Uncle Zhao, and buy 120 acres of paddy field for him. The remaining

All the money was transferred to Uncle Zhao. But it is Shiquan County after all, which is a bit far away, so it is not easy to take care of, and buying land is not smooth. Originally, I wanted to ask him and me to move to Long'an Mansion, but Uncle Zhao's hometown

It’s hard to leave, so I have to make do with it first.”

Zhao Ran nodded and said: "Second brother Laoguan is here."

Guan Er hurriedly said: "It's not just me, Jin Jiu has contributed a lot. If his family hadn't come forward, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to purchase these 120 acres of paddy fields. By the way, Jin Jiu found out that the fourth uncle in Zhaojiazhuang once did

Your old man was once rude and gave you a slight punishment. These paddy fields were purchased from his family, and they were only worth one tael of silver per acre. Originally, according to my opinion, this punishment was too light, but Jin Jiu said where

It has something to do with Guyang County, so it’s hard to do anything for the time being..."

Zhao Ran smiled: "Brother Guan, let's not mention the feud in the past. If you think about it carefully, if there was no cause that day, there would be no result today... By the way, when I left the mountain that day, I said that the money I left in the escort agency of my second brother,

Half is for Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao, and the other half..."

Guan Er hurriedly said: "Master Jing, you said that the leftovers would be divided equally between us. I accept this favor heartily, but Master Jing has great kindness to us. If we divide it again, I will

If you have money, then aren’t we beasts inferior to pigs and dogs? This must not be done! There are more than 3,100 taels of silver left, and the banknotes are all in my room. If Lord Jing wants to use it, I will get it immediately."

Now is the time for Zhao Ran to spend money, so he was not polite and said immediately: "In that case, please give me the banknote, second brother. I have something urgent to use now."

After Guan Er delivered all the banknotes, Zhao Ran took the banknotes and left, directly going to the "Yueshe" where the three capitals lived. The Yueshe is a set of three courtyards, and each of the three capitals lives in one courtyard.

Xiang Dukai has nothing to do with each other. The status of the three capitals is noble. Although they do not care about the secular affairs of the courtyard, major matters must be decided through consultation among the three capitals. Therefore, if Zhao Ran wants to transfer the party leader, he must obtain one or even two of them.

of consent.

Taoist priests who sit in high positions in the three capitals basically have no hope of getting promoted if they are over the age of Buhuo. Therefore, they attach great importance to money and other external things. Yuan Duchu, Luo Duguan and Zhu Duyao of Wujiyuan all belong to this category.

In this case, Zhao Ran didn't have any other good methods and decided to spend money to smash it.

Among the three capitals, the one who cares most about Zhao Ran is Luo Duguan. Luo Duguan is old and has passed his destiny. Zhao Ran has heard him say many times that in two or three years, he will submit a letter of resignation.

, returned to his hometown to take care of himself.

Seeing Zhao Ran, Luo Duguan chuckled and said, "Nephew Zhao has been away for three months. He seems to have lost a lot of weight, but he has become more stable. Why do you have time to see me, an old man, today?"

Zhao Ran said respectfully: "I went back to the mountain today and after seeing the prison, I wanted to visit you first. You have taken good care of me in the past. If you don't come to visit me, I won't be able to sleep well tonight.

"

Luo Duguan smiled and introduced Zhao Ran into the house. They chatted for a while and asked about Zhao Ran's situation after leaving the mountain. Zhao Ran told a few interesting things and made him laugh a few times. Zhao Ran didn't do much either.

After a delay, Luo Duguan was old and not in good health, so he could not hold long conversations. At that moment, he took a stack of banknotes from his arms and put them on Guan Luo Du's case table, saying: "I'm going back to Baima Mountain this time.

I have been thinking about some local products for you for a long time. I am very uneasy thinking about them. Besides, I don’t know what you like. This is my fault. Please forgive me. I have to bring you some Adu folk things. I hope you will.

Don’t ever refuse.”

Luo Duguan glanced at the banknotes on the table. Five 100-tael bills were piled together. He was very satisfied and said, "You are interested. What, is there something wrong?"

Zhao Ran chuckled and said, "It's just a little thought."

There is a need to pay attention to giving gifts. Try not to ask for conditions in person, which will make the other party feel uneasy, and sometimes even have the opposite effect. As long as Luo Duguan accepts the money, he will naturally help Zhao Ran when something happens, and there is no need for Zhao Ran at all.

Say anything more.

Zhao Ran had good luck today, and all three capitals were in their respective courtyards. Zhao Ran went on to visit Zhu Doujiao and Yuan Duchu, without wasting any time.

Zhu Duguan and Zhao Ran have quite a tacit understanding, but the difference between him and Luo Duguan is that he has to find an excuse for everything and never stick to the truth. The same goes for receiving gifts. He is willing to help Zhao Ran.

, Zhao Ran said that he was "reticent in doing things". If one day the two of them fell out, Zhao Ran would evaluate him as "hypocritical".

Zhao Ran saw that Zhu Du said that the process was equally smooth. Of course, he found a good excuse: Uncle Zhao had opened a large house in Zhaojiazhuang and needed someone to help write a plaque. Zhu Du said without hesitation and immediately gave the calligraphy treasure

, Zhao Ranshun smoothly presented the "brush", everything was quite natural.

He only suffered a defeat at Yuan Duchu's place, and received a lecture from Yuan Duchu, "Don't be too ambitious in life." Zhao Ran bowed his back and accepted Yuan Duchu's advice, and then bought medicinal materials for nourishing the mind and body for Yuan Duchu.

In the name of his name, he presented the banknote. Yuan Duchu refused, but Zhao Ran threw down the banknote and ran away. Yuan Duchu had no choice but to accept it "reluctantly" with a sigh.

After all three were done, Zhao Ran breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thanked the world. If it were placed in the world before he traveled, how could giving gifts be so simple? It was already dark when he returned to the room. Lying in bed, he began to think about the people he should visit the next day.

The list is here. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
