It is not difficult to do small good deeds, but it is not easy to do great good deeds. This is not a question of money, but a system problem. The details cannot be explained in detail. Zhao Ran's current identity is the Fangtang Master of Daomen Wujiyuan, in a county

The place has a lot of status. Not to mention how much he can help people, but it is definitely not difficult to deal with bad people. But if you want to do something, let alone leave it to the big day.

In Sichuan Province and even in Long'an Mansion, he is still an inconspicuous little person. Even if he has a fortune of tens of millions, he cannot do whatever he wants.

The most typical example is that he rushed to Heshanyi in a hurry, and returned to Wuji Mountain in disgrace, completely devastated. Therefore, he had the idea of ​​setting up a relief station by himself. With the official document from Wujiyuan, he went through the county government's

After receiving the approval and the Jinxian Lieutenant's promise of full assistance, he started work.

The pine forest two miles east of Guyang County is close to the official road. This official road passes through Guangyuan County in the northeast of Baoning Prefecture and reaches Hanzhong, Shaanxi Province. It is an important thoroughfare for the Ming Dynasty to control northwest Sichuan. The pine forest is a pine forest, and the official road

There is an open space of thirty to fifty feet between them. This open space belongs to the government. There are some vendors selling tea, cakes and other food here. The flow of people is quite large.

Zhao Ran originally wanted to talk to Kong Xianzun and sell this less than three acres of land at a low price, but Kong Xianzun refused. Later, he came up with the idea of ​​purchasing the right to use it for fifty years. Kong Xianzun was stunned.

After listening to Zhao Ran explain the meaning of "right to use", he still refused, saying that there was no such precedent. The final result of the discussion was that Zhao Ran could use it for free, but there was no time limit. In other words, when would the government

You can take it back if you want. This is more deceptive, but Zhao Ran has no choice but to accept it.

In order to accomplish the most things with the least money, Zhao Ran's construction design plan was revised again and again before it was finally finalized. It took another ten days to prepare the materials, and the construction started on the first day of February.

All the hundreds of young men and ten master bricklayers hired previously were mobilized, and they worked hard for almost half a month, so the relief station was completed as scheduled.

A long bamboo fence surrounds the three acres of land and serves as the outer wall. The gate faces the south, facing the official road; in the middle are the three main rooms, which are made of bamboo and covered with soil. These are the relief stations.

The public house is a public house; there are twelve large houses in a row on the east side, each with a large bunkhouse, which can accommodate one hundred and twenty people if all are occupied; there are also twelve large houses on the west side, including the servants' residence and kitchen.

Utility room, clinic, etc. A spacious warehouse was built on the inside of the north wall for stacking relief materials, and a greenhouse was built on the inside of the south wall. Simple tables and chairs were placed, which can accommodate 200 people for dining.

What to do with the hawkers who originally made a living here? Although the place was requisitioned by Zhao Ran after the county government agreed. But it is not easy to drive these people away, and the county officials could have collected some tax money and driven them away, right?

Are you offending someone for nothing? Zhao Ran also thought of a way and built more than ten simple sheds on the outside of the south wall next to the official road, and moved the vendors who originally made a living here. The vendors did not have to pay to do business.

Then we had a shelter to protect ourselves from the wind and rain, and everyone was happy.

The main materials of the entire relief station are bamboo and soil. The bamboo was purchased at a very low price after negotiating with Jia Zhisun, the receptionist of Wujiyuan House. Among Wujiyuan Taoist properties, there is Zhushan. Zhao Ran directly sent people there

Just cut it down. After the construction was completed, the materials and labor were all calculated. Zhao Ran paid more than one hundred taels of silver, which was a little less than he expected.

Zhao Ran hired a total of eight people, one steward, one accountant, two servants, two cooks, one craftsman, and a doctor for consultation. The monthly salary was twenty taels of silver. If you include those who gave up.

The monthly expenses for meals, soups and medicines will probably be between 30 and 50 taels, depending on the number of people being rescued.

This expense is not a small amount, and will become a heavy burden in the long run, so Zhao Ran thought of some ways. The first was the twelve large houses on the east side. He hung a small plaque on the lintel of each house, in the middle.

The two rooms in his house were written "Longgou Zheng's Kindness Hall" and "Santouping Feng's Kindness Hall" - yes, he sold the naming rights of these two houses. For this reason, Zheng and

Feng has to donate two taels of silver every month for this purpose.

Zhao Ran is currently looking for big customers to negotiate with the other ten big houses, because Zhao Ran's identity is there, and this is a good thing that costs a small amount of money but can be famous for a long time. The progress is going smoothly, and it is estimated that there will be no problem in naming them all.

There are about a dozen vacant greenhouses on the outside of the south wall next to the official road. Zhao Ran has officially put up a sign to welcome vendors, but the new vendors are no better than the original ones. They have to pay rent. The tentative rent is every day.

Three coins of the month.

After this, in addition to the start-up expenses of more than one hundred taels, Zhao Ran actually only spent five to ten taels in monthly subsidies at the relief station, which could not last more than 20 taels.

Zhao Ran asked the supervisor Song Zhiyuan to name it, and Song Zhiyuan chose the name "Wujiyuan Charity Hall". Zhao Ran also asked Kong Xianzun to write an inscription, and Kong Xianzun readily agreed after some excuses.

On the first day of March, the plaque of "Wujiyuan Charity Hall" was finally hung up, and relief work was officially started.

Throughout March, it was Zhao Ran's harvest season. The relief stations in Yangmayi and Liuzhuangyi had been steadily providing merit power. Zhao Ran's Guyang New Rural Movement was about to succeed, and with the opening of the Charity Hall,

The cultivation of merit power has reached a very high level. On average, more than thirty strands of merit power are steadily generated in Zhao Ran's Qi Sea every day, and are then transformed into mana by him.

Nowadays, the "big rat" in Zhao Ran's Qi Sea has been jumping faster and faster, becoming more and more active, and getting hotter and hotter, but Zhao Ran still doesn't know how to cast a spell with it. His problem is that he doesn't know how to contact the palace.

Those acquaintances, such as Zhou Yumo, Pei Zhongze, Uncle Da Zhuo and Uncle Xiao Zhuo, can only wait passively. Of course, if they really want to shame themselves, Uncle Da Zhuo and Uncle Xiao Zhuo can still take the initiative to contact him. He has someone from the last time

He replenished his communication talisman at Changchong Mountain, but if he used the communication talisman without an emergency, he was afraid that a "wolf is coming" story would happen to him.

Fortunately, Dazhuo and Uncle Xiaozhuo had promised to find him some Taoist books on weapon refining, so he could be patient and continue to wait.

After forgetting him for several months, the two Master Zhuo uncles finally remembered him and sent a package from Huayun Pavilion. Not to mention what was in the package, the act of Daomen Xingxing sending the package to Zhao Ran itself

Once again, Wujiyuan was in commotion.

Zhao Ran returned to his house and opened the package, and couldn't help but be ecstatic. Inside the package were three Taoist books, the first one was called "Utensil Making Manual", the second one was "Shangqing Jue", and the third one was "Zhengyi Fu"

"Dharma". In addition to three Taoist books, there is also a letter written by Master Xiaozhuo himself.

The letter said that these three Taoist books were the Taoist books designated by his master when he first entered Huayun Pavilion. Although they were entry-level Taoist books, their contents were equally extensive and profound. If he continued to practice persistently, he could achieve great achievements.

In addition, Uncle Xiao Zhuo said that he had asked his master, and the matter had been approved by the master, so that Zhao Ran could practice with peace of mind. As for Zhao Ran's last test about whether he could enter the pavilion to practice, Uncle Xiao Zhuo also said in a vague way

He pointed out that this is more difficult. It is not easy for a person like him who has a weak foundation to find a master. Of course, Uncle Xiao Zhuo also advised him not to be discouraged and said that he would try his best to help him ask more questions and try to help him.

Find a good master.

Zhao Ran sighed. It could be seen from the words between the lines that it would be difficult for him to realize his idea of ​​entering the pavilion to practice. However, he was indeed sincerely grateful to Uncle Da Zhuo and Xiao Zhuo for their help to him.

No matter how big or small, at least they have no selfish motives, let alone seeking their own rewards. In other words, are such people more suitable for cultivating merit power?

At the end of the letter, Uncle Zhuo mentioned that he and Zhuo Tengyun might have to travel far away in the next few months to look for tongue orchid vines, and asked Zhao Ran to be more cautious during these days. If something happens to the two of them,

It was difficult to get back in time. Master Xiao Zhuo also specially noted the shape of the tongue orchid vine and told Zhao Ran to let him know if he could see it.

Zhao Ran's heart was moved, and he quickly looked through his ring finger, and found several tongue orchid vines among the pile of medicinal materials. (My novel "The Law of the Taoist Sect" will have more new content on the official WeChat platform, and there will also be
