Chapter 35: Unburdened Relaxation (Blessings for Qianxun Daotong)
The joint meeting set its sights on the South China Sea, which was not only the plan that Zhao Ran had made long ago, but also the needs of the overseas reclamation companies. Most of the directors of the overseas reclamation companies are actually members of the joint meeting, and the company's needs will inevitably become
meet the need for a joint meeting.
It is unlikely for the company to obtain similar profits in the South China Sea as in the East China Sea, unless a Wutong Taoist appears in the South China Sea. But at present, such a figure does not exist in the South China Sea. Even if there was originally, it would be affected by the war situation in the East China Sea.
No more fighting.
The most they can do is to send a fleet to intimidate the island owners and big shopkeepers of the South China Sea Islands so that they can be more clear-headed and not hinder the establishment of Taoist temples. Let them honestly apply for practice certificates and pay the annual tax.
The maritime trade license management fee is a thousand taels, and it will be a matter of course for them to demarcate the pavilions after two or three years.
The goals of overseas reclamation companies are still Yingzhou and Hengduan Mountains, and opening up the South China Sea is also to achieve maritime connections.
Zhao Ran wrote a letter and gave it to Tang Yaozu: "Xianling Palace takes the lead in the establishment of overseas Taoist temples. You can take this book to Jinghua Island to visit the island owner Zhou Yumo and set up a temple on the island first. In addition to Jinghua Island, Chu Tianshi also
Practicing on Yunji Island, these two islands can serve as our support points and fleet supply points in the South China Sea. Chu Tianshi and Zhou Yumo are both high-level Taoist practitioners. We must trust them and rely on them in our South China Sea strategy, and we will achieve half the success.
And it’s twice the result.”
The case of the Empress Dowager was listed as a secret case by Zhenshitang. Tang Yaozu, Wei Chaozong, Peng Yunyi and even Lu Yuanyuan did not know about it. They only knew that Zhao Ran was tired, resigned and returned to his hometown to practice. Of course, they did not know about the Yunji Island and Jinghua Island matters.
I didn't know anything about it, but when I heard about it, I was very happy.
Tang Yaozu said: "With Chu Tianshi and Jueqing Jian helping each other in Nanhai, it will be much easier!"
Zhao Ran turned around and invited Dongfang Jing, told him the joint meeting's South China Sea strategy, and asked him to go to Yunji Island to report Chu Yangcheng.
Dongfang Jing asked: "Will the South China Sea be demarcated like the East China Sea in the future?"
The four people in the joint meeting looked at each other, and after reaching an agreement, Tang Yaozu replied: "We have this plan, the details have not yet been determined, but if Chu Tianshi can help greatly, we will consider demarcating a gym with Yunji Island as the center, with Chu Tianshi as the center.
It is under the jurisdiction of Tianshi." He looked at Zhao Ran again and added: "Jinghua Island can also follow this example. The relevant plan will be reported to Zhenshitang for approval before implementation. The Nanhai Governor-General can even be established in the future, and Chu Tianshi will be invited to serve as the governor.
.”
Dongfang Jing immediately said: "Let's do this. I'll go to the South China Sea immediately to express my feelings to Uncle Chu and ask him to cooperate with your actions."
As they turned around at the banquet, Dongfang Jing pulled Zhao Ran aside and asked: "What's going on between you and Rong Niang? Logically speaking, it's not easy for me to interfere in the housework between you and your husband, but I regard Rong Niang as a biological sister.
, I still can’t help but say a few more words. You guys are having a bit of a quarrel this time. She won’t go back to the mountain even if you accept the punishment. This is a bit of a problem. Feifu asked her, but she didn’t say anything. I can only ask.
You are here. Rong’s mother-in-law’s family is too prominent and she may have a bit of a young lady’s temper, but her heart is good..."
Zhao Ran shook his head: "It's not her problem, it's my problem."
Dongfang Jing and Zhao Ran have an unusual relationship, and they are the close friends of Zhao Ran and Rong Niang. After thinking about it, he simply made it clear: "Senior Brother Jing, do you still remember Yu Mo?"
Dongfang Jing was stunned: "Jueqingjian? Of course I know. I traveled overseas in the past few years, and her name is very famous... Oh, she is from the Wenqing Sect, you will not be with her..."
After waking up, Dongfang Jing immediately said sincerely: "Zhiran, it's not good for you to do this. Watching what's in the bowl, watching what's in the pot, and being able to grow old together with the person you love is such a rare thing. Why don't you cherish it?"
Zhao Ran smiled bitterly: "Things are a bit complicated. Before I met Rong Niang, Yu Mo and I... Well, later Yu Mo didn't want to be bound by this bond, so he didn't practice dual cultivation with me and made his own way overseas. I waited for her for several years,
That’s why I gave up on this idea, and then I had a fate with Rong Niang. I originally wanted to treat Rong Niang wholeheartedly, and I had very little contact with Yu Mo, only once in the past ten years. But who knew that Yu Mo would
She already had a child, and she worked hard overseas alone to raise the child. As a result, Rong Niang found out about this..."
Dongfang Jing was dumbfounded after hearing this, and in the end he could only give a thumbs up: "Brother, you are still the best, Rong Niang and Yu Mo, I dare you to take advantage of all the good things in the world!"
Zhao Ran said: "Senior Brother Jing, please stop laughing at me. Please give me an idea. What should I do?"
Dongfang Jingdao: "Don't ask me, how can I have such ability? If I really have such ability...forget it, I don't care about your affairs anymore, I can't control it. I want to ask you, what about the practice certificate you got?
What does the serial number mean? How to compile it?"
Zhao Ran explained the meaning of the number, which is nothing more than the region, the birthday corresponding to the year when the Ming Dynasty was founded, the certificate serial number and gender, etc. Once explained, Dongfang Jing understood.
Dongfang Jingdao: "It's another six years. Dongji Pavilion will conduct a census of the number of monks next year. In order to facilitate future submissions, I plan to promote the practice certificate of Cock-crowing Temple in Sichuan Province. From now on, whoever joins the Taoism will apply for the certificate immediately. The superiors will ask
All numbers can be reported at any time, eliminating the trouble of large-scale calculations every six years."
At that moment, the two of them discussed the details of the practice certificate. After that, Zhao Ran saw that Dongfang Jing seemed to have something to say, so he asked, "Senior Brother Jing, just tell me if you have anything to say."
Dongfang Jing hesitated for a moment and suddenly asked: "I heard that Qi Gu committed a crime and was detained by Gu Yun. Does Zhi Ran know?"
Zhao Ran's breath was stagnant, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. He thought for a while and said: "I know a little bit, but the True Master Hall strictly prohibits spreading it to outsiders. Respectful senior brother, I..."
Dongfang Jing was surprised: "So serious? In that case, let's not talk about it... Is there any possibility of rescue?"
Zhao Ran said: "Senior Brother Jing, don't worry, he will be out in five months."
Dongfang Jing breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
During the discussion, he added: "In the past two years, there have been many talented people in your Zongsheng Hall. There were Wei Zhizhen, Luo Zhiqing and you in the front, and Qu Fenghe and Feng Tang in the back. That Feng Tang was very good. I took the exam in Yuhuang Pavilion.
I have passed him several times, and among the young disciples in Qingcheng Mountain, no one can match him. I heard that it was all trained by your senior brother Wei Zhizhen. I even want to drag the young disciples to Maharaja Mountain and let them live for a while and learn hard.
"
Zhao Ran said: "Senior Brother Jing, I'm sorry. In terms of background, I still have to rely on Qingcheng Mountain. However, we can indeed send disciples to each other to communicate. I support this with both hands!"
Zhao Ran met a lot of people, talked a lot, and even decided on a lot of things at the wedding banquet. Although he was equally busy, he felt much more relaxed, which is why there was no heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
.
When you are in a high position, you are talking and making decisions, but you have to take responsibility for every word and decision. If you make mistakes, you have to bear them yourself. The pressure can be imagined. But now, it is others who bear the responsibility.
There is no heavy burden on you, no pressure on your head, just move your lips and give some suggestions, don't be too relaxed.
Looking at the crowd of distinguished guests, Zhao Ran thought to himself that such a day seems not bad.
ps: Qianxun Taoist participated in the Linghu Taozu event and sent blessings to the Taoist. I hope the Taoist will live a stable and safe life in the future, grow taller and taller. This chapter consumes Linghu Taozu and owes one more talisman.
