Not long after Li Yichen was happy when he suddenly got ten taels of silver from Zhao Ran, he saw that the generous and generous Zhao Fangzhu didn't seem to be in a very happy mood. He frowned and didn't know what he was thinking, so he became uneasy.
Zhao Ran thought for a long time and suddenly said: "Li Yicheng, you are in charge of the imperial government. It is difficult for me to get involved in money and food matters, but I want to ask you something."
"Master Fang, please tell me, but if you know anything, I will never hide it."
"First, how many passers-by do you see on your official road every day? Second, how many of them are struggling to make a living? Third, how many of them will take the initiative to come and ask for help?"
Li Yicheng cannot give definite answers to these questions. No one would play with a few people on the roadside all day long, but he still has a general impression.
After listening to Li Yichen's answer, Zhao Ran nodded and said: "Well, I have something to ask for, and I hope Li Cheng can help me."
"Fang Master, just give him the order, but there is no way to talk about asking!"
"Okay. From today on, please Li Cheng hang up a sign outside the Yangma Yiyuan. Just write... meet... just write the words 'relief station'. Put a bucket of water under the sign so that passers-by can get a drink. Every time Rili Station cooks porridge. Those who need it can be invited into the station. Each person is given a bowl of porridge. The mouth of the bowl must not be less than five inches. The porridge in the bowl can be filled with chopsticks without falling over. In case of special circumstances, such as heavy rain, If there is heavy snow or the patient is unable to travel, he or she can stay at the inn for a few days..."
Li Yicheng was dumbfounded when he heard Zhao Ran's explanation. Then he was shocked and interrupted: "Master Fang, this is impossible."
"Oh?, why can't you do it?"
"Zhao Fangzhu, I'm still saying the same thing. I have no money."
"I will give you the money, but I have conditions. Every time you help a person, I want you to write down the person's name, place of origin and current residence. I will send someone to check the accounts every month, and I will also select a few people to verify. If there are You should know what the consequences will be if it is false! The recipients can eat porridge at most twice a day, and only one bowl is given each time. I am afraid that you will breed a group of lazy people. That violates my establishment The original intention of the relief station. I just heard you talk about the situation of pedestrians on this official road. I pay you five taels of silver every month, which should be enough. The more is the reward that the poor road gave you to Yangmayi, but there are One thing, you must not waste all your money. Of these five taels of silver, you must give away at least half every month to pass. Otherwise, I will reduce your money next month. Do you understand?"
Hearing that he would get five taels of silver per month, Li Yicheng was immediately overjoyed. He agreed, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Lord Fang, Li will definitely help Lord Fang do this good deed. Well, it's not as good as this relief." Just put the name of the Fang Master under the sign of the station."
Zhao Ran stopped him and said, "No, just sign the name of Wujiyuan." He did not do good deeds for the sake of fame. Fame is of no use to him for the time being. The only thing he cares about is merit.
After finishing the instructions, Zhao Ran threw another five taels of silver to Li Yicheng and said, "Please tidy up the post station. The tiles that need to be repaired must be repaired. It's always leaking."
Leaving Yangma Post, Zhao Ran asked Guan Er and Lu Jin to lead the way, and rushed to another post station. There are three post stations in Guyang County, one in the northeast, one to the west, and the other is Yangma in the south.
Horse Post. The three post stations are all on the edge of the official road, but Liuzhuang Post in the northeast and Heshan Post in the west are much larger and have much better facilities. This is because the official road where these two posts are located is very important and is the center of the imperial court.
One of the key routes from Shaanxi to Sichuan and then to Songfanwei.
The first place Zhao Ran arrived was Heshan Yi. Compared with Yangma Yi, Heshan Yi was completely different. There were four or five courtyards set together, with no fewer than dozens of large and spacious tile-roofed houses, and people coming and going at the gate.
It's so lively.
Guan Er hesitated for a moment and said to Zhao Ran: "Master Fang, if you want to inquire about the traces of monsters, we will not go in. This place is located in a strategic location, and there are many monks coming and going. If there are monsters, we would have avoided them early."
Zhao Ran looked at Guan Er's expression and said, "You know I'm not here to catch monsters. If you have anything to say, just tell me!"
"If the Fang Master also wants to set up a relief station like Yangma Yi, there is no need to look for Heshan Yi. Let's go to Lijia Village nearby."
"I understand what you mean. This is the only way to go to Songfan Guards. I believe that the money allocated by the court will be sufficient. People may not think highly of my few taels of silver. But this is a place where travelers and business travelers meet.
There are many people who can help. If the relief station is located in Lijiacun, it won't have much effect... Let's go and have a look first. After all, it is a good thing to do good deeds, and the Yicheng may not be willing to do so."
Facts have proved that Guan Er's worries are very reasonable. Zhong Can, the postmaster of Heshanyi, did not show up. The person who received Zhao Ran and his party was Zhongyi Cheng's book office. The book office had a good attitude and seemed quite polite, but
The conversation turned out to be very frustrating.
"My Zhong Yicheng said that he wanted to entertain Master Zhao in person, but because something happened and he couldn't get away, he had to entrust a villain to do his bidding. Zhong Yicheng felt very sorry for this and repeatedly asked the villain to apologize in person. By the way, Master Zhao
You’ve come all the way and you haven’t eaten yet? I’ve asked the cook to prepare the meal, and I’d like to ask Master Zhao to move on.”
"There's no need for food. Pindao just has some small things to discuss with Zhong Yi Cheng. I don't know when he will be free. Pindao can wait."
The clerk frowned and wondered: "I don't know this. Two mages from Kuixing Temple in Chengdu went to Baima Mountain and passed by this post. Accompanied by Abbot Du from Xizhenwu Palace, they were resting in the post. My Zhong Yi Cheng must follow
Waiting on the side; there are two Qianhu adults from Jinyiwei borrowing Heshan Post to do business, which is also a big errand; in addition, the family members of Commander Zheng of the Ning Fan Guard are also at this post, and Zhong Yicheng also does not dare to neglect it.
"We have received word from the county that Dr. Si Luo, a staff member of the Ministry of War, will also pass by this post and will arrive at noon the day after tomorrow..."
The clerk counted Zhao Ran one by one with his fingers. His face was full of respect, but the corner of his mouth could not hide the trace of sarcasm. Although he did not say it clearly, the meaning of his words was already quite clear -
—My Zhong Yicheng sees all the big shots every day, and he has no time to talk to you, the little square master of Wujiyuan!
Guan Er and Lu Jin were listening next to them, their faces already full of anger, and they were about to get angry, but Zhao Ran stopped him with a look. It was not that he was not angry, but this clerk was very experienced, and there was no difference in etiquette.
The situation is also reasonable. If you vent your anger on him, you won't be able to laugh at him if you turn around.
Zhao Ran held back his anger and said: "In that case, I wonder if you can send a message to your home, Zhong Yi Cheng. I want to use Gui Yi to organize a relief station, and I hope that Zhong Yi Cheng can help me." At that moment, he put himself
Describe the reasons for organizing a relief station and the specific methods.
The clerk listened attentively and said after listening: "Master Fang is merciful. This is a great thing. I admire you very much. I will convey Master Fang's wishes to my Zhong Yi Cheng. But I also have some thoughts, and I don't know what to do."
It’s inappropriate to talk about it.”
"Please tell me."
"Heshan Station is affiliated to the Ministry of War and is located at a strategic location. It is the largest station in western Sichuan. Now there is fierce fighting in Baima Mountain. If it were in the past, my Zhong Yicheng would definitely be involved, but now is not the time. How many times a day
Distinguished people stayed at Benyi, and many important military personnel passed by Benyi. To put it bluntly, this is the key to Long'an Mansion, and even the entire western Sichuan. It is really not the place to give out porridge and relief. This is where people come and go.
, if you accidentally sneak in as a spy, you will miss a big deal, don’t you think so, Lord Fang?"
Zhao Ran was blocked by the clerk's words and came back. Although he felt unhappy, he could not refute it, so he could only say: "You can also build a shed next to the post station. There is no need to give alms in the post station, as long as there are people in the post station to help.
"
The clerk said with a smile: "There are few people in Heshanyi, and there are so many things to handle. How can I have time to take care of these trivial matters? You should think about it again. This matter is not easy to handle."
Zhao Ran said: "The poor Taoist is looking for a few people from Lijia Village nearby to run this relief station. I want to put it near the post station so that I can take care of the emergency. Can your office forward it to Zhong Yicheng? If there is any trouble, I can go there.
Zhong Yi Cheng will take care of you."
The clerk smiled and shook his head and said: "Zhao Fangzhu, it is best not to deal with this matter within three miles of the post. After all, it is wartime now, and Xia Guo's craftsmen are everywhere. If something happens, Heshan Post will not be able to take care of it. What do you think?
Isn’t that true?”
Zhao Ran nodded and said, "That's it, sorry for bothering you." After saying that, he stood up and left.
The clerk said: "I won't send it away." Seeing Zhao Ran go out, he sneered and said secretly: "Does a small Taoist master really think that he is a big shot in the Taoist sect? It's really ridiculous that he imitates others' alms.
Come!" He turned and walked towards the inner courtyard, came to the central hall, bowed to the two people sitting in the hall chatting Zhengya and said: "Zhong Yicheng, Taoist priest Dong, the Taoist surnamed Zhao has left. According to Taoist Dong's words, he
I have not agreed to any small request." (Want to know more exciting news about "The Law of Taoism"? Open WeChat now, click on the "+" sign in the upper right corner, select Add Friends to add a public account, and search for "zhongwenwang"
