For most people living in the Ming Dynasty, the road guide was something that had nothing to do with them, because they basically would never leave the county in their lifetime. And for those merchants who needed to travel far away often
For traffickers and foot soldiers, it is much more important. Without a road guide, they will be punished and sent back to their place of origin.
The question now is, where did these seven poor families who were evading debts come from? Since they were evading debts as a family, would they go to the county government to apply for road guidance? Under normal circumstances, how could the subordinate officials in Pingwu County provide them with guidance?
Issue directions?
Zhao Ran's first reaction was to ask Jin Jiu to arrange manpower to keep an eye on the gang of Pingwu County government officials who had just escaped, and then immediately asked Manager Li to lead these routes to him.
Browsing through the seven road guides one by one, Zhao Ran finally focused on the date. The issuance period of all road guides was seven days ago, which means that these road guides were issued in the same batch.
Zhao Ran called seven families together and inquired carefully. He soon learned what had happened, and then fell into deep thought.
These seven households were all unable to repay due to high-interest loans from large households. In fact, the moment they were forced to borrow money, they were already destined to end up not being able to exchange the money.
At the beginning, these people had no idea of going outside the county to hide from their debts, because they could not escape blindly. The houses and fields were all there, and it was impossible to move them. The worst result would be to pay back the debts.
It is nothing more than using the house and the land to pay off the debt - these are the two items of collateral in the loan document. But if the person escapes, the creditor can not only confiscate the land and house justifiably, but he himself will also violate the national law. At that time, not only will he be "
The issue of "broken home" and the tragedy of "death" are very likely to occur.
But for some reason, rumors have spread in Pingwu County recently, saying that there is a great philanthropist Zhao Shenxian in Guyang County next door. He is willing to help the poor people.
.As long as he works for a period of time, it will be enough to repay the debt. Moreover, there are rumors that if someone comes to Guyang County to work, Pingwu County will help open a road to guide him.
These people went to the county government office for a try, and sure enough, they got the road guide smoothly, so they came with their families and prepared to work to pay off their debts. Unexpectedly, within two days after arriving, the government officials from Pingwu County came to pick up the people...
What Zhao Ran was thinking hard about was whether there was anything fishy in this process.
It is a fact that he opened a charity hall to accommodate the poor. This is a fact. He often recruits laborers to do things and pays them high wages. This is also a fact. His reputation for doing good deeds has spread to neighboring counties. There is no problem with this. The neighboring counties give them to work.
This is a great thing done by the county government, and there is no problem. As for the fact that Bantou Liu received the complaint from the poor people afterwards and brought people to the charity hall to pick them up, the procedure was illegal and his attitude was a bit arrogant.
, it seems that there is no big problem.
But these things are piled up together. Why do I feel that something is wrong the more I think about it?
Could it be that the noise he has been making recently has been a little too loud, and some people don't like it? If so, who are these people? Zhao Ran counted them one by one and found that he had no clue.
In Wujiyuan, the supervisor Song Zhiyuan has a very close relationship with him. It can almost be said that one will be prosperous and one will suffer. It is impossible for him to do such a thing; everyone said that the "three capitals" of Du Guan and Du Chef are taken by himself.
It is not in the interests of those who are well fed with money to cause trouble for themselves; at the level of the Eight Deacons, they try their best to get along well with each other and do not offend anyone. The most powerful ones among them include Liu Zhiguang, the high-ranking officer, and the patrol officer.
Zhang Zhihuan, Dianzao Chen Zhizhong, and Yingbin Jia Zhisun, their current status is mostly due to themselves. Logically speaking, they are not white-eyed wolves, not to mention that I have no conflict with them at all.
Counting down further, some of the remaining people may be jealous of him, such as Jiang Zhiheng, but these people have absolutely no strength to cause such a drama today, so the suspicion can be ruled out.
If it's not Wujiyuan, then is there something wrong with the county government? County Master Kong has never made trouble for himself, and he often gives little conveniences when he asks for help. Even if he is not one of his own, then
They are definitely not enemies; the county magistrate and chief registrar of the county government Zuo Er are just soy sauce characters. They have little power in their hands and have nothing to do with themselves, let alone enmity. The key is that Jin Xianwei, the powerful faction in the county government, is equal to one of our own.
, if there is any trouble, I will definitely communicate with myself in advance. Therefore, it seems that this matter has nothing to do with Guyang County Government.
After doing this calculation, Zhao Ran suddenly discovered that he already had such a deep network of contacts in Guyang County. Compared with himself three years ago, he really felt a bit like "the past is unbearable".
Pindao can almost walk sideways in Guyang County, right? So who is going to have trouble with Master Dao?
After pondering over and over again, Zhao Ran suddenly broke out in a cold sweat - he had actually forgotten one person. This person was Zhao Zhixing, one of the eight new deacons of Wujiyuan and a guest in the living room! Zhao Zhixing is only eighteen years old this year, three years younger than Zhao Ran.
He is the most typical Taoist airborne cadre. He comes from Xuanyuanguan, Sichuan Province, and was a Taoist boy in Xuanyuanguan Sutra Hall.
The reason why Zhao Ran ignored his own family was entirely because he was too low-key. After Zhao Zhixing came to Wujiyuan to take office in the first month of the first month, he only met everyone once and then often disappeared from many important fasting ceremonies.
We can't see each other in person, and even if we occasionally attend once or twice, they always hide behind and act as human backgrounds. The external affairs of daily reception and liaison are mainly handled by Taoist priests like the doormen of the living room, and they are almost never seen.
people.
What's more, Zhao Ran is often away from Wuji Mountain, so it is difficult for the two of them to see each other, and it is easy to ignore the existence of this gentleman. Zhao Ran only gave him a meeting gift when he first arrived and exchanged a few words with him.
, almost no interaction with him.
Don't blame Zhao Ran for being "short-sighted" and not knowing how to curry favor with such "powerful" people. In fact, "airborne cadres" basically have no deterrent effect at all. They just come down to experience, usually about a year, and a little longer than two years.
Years, the longest can never exceed three years. They just wait for the resume period to be over and they will return to "heaven". There are very few people who are willing to actively do things, let alone come out of thin air to offend people. Moreover, such people are actually not good at the top.
They don't have much status, they belong to the lower-level characters of "Heaven", and they won't be able to get out for ten or twenty years after returning. It's purely thankless to try to curry favor with them, and in turn offends them... In fact, it's not that big of a deal, they
There's nothing I can do to you either - usually I can only bite my back teeth and scream hard, secretly swearing that I want you to look good.
However, if there are people in "heaven" who are deliberately targeting you, such people can play the role of "eyes and ears", and the effect is very effective, so you must be on guard against this.
Zhao Ran started to think along Zhao Zhixing's background, but after much deliberation, he couldn't think of any enemies in Xuanyuan Temple, no, anyone he knew. He was not even familiar with Xizhenwu Palace, let alone Xuan Yuan Temple.
Yuan Guan. Thinking of this, Zhao Ran suddenly realized that he was not familiar with Xizhenwu Palace, which did not mean that he had not raised the hatred value. At least Du Nenghui, the abbot of Xizhenwu Palace, once used "Ruyu Breathing Fire"
" looked at him with eyes. Could it be that this matter has something to do with Du Neng? But if Du Neng really did it, then he could only be speechless and contemptuous. How desperate would this Du Neng be to keep thinking about him?
What about the little deacons who hang out in the county-level Taoist temple?
This matter must be guarded against. As for how to guard against it, Zhao Ran has no idea yet. Du Nenghui's "status in the world" is too high and he is not yet up to it. However, Zhao Ran also has some new thoughts from this. Is he
Is it time to find a way to open a passage to the top?
These are all things for later, let’s not mention them for now, we need to act according to the situation. Zhao Ran is still most concerned about his own cultivation issues. Although the setbacks suffered by the Charity Hall this time have caused him trouble, it has also brought him other problems.
A completely new way of thinking.
When he decided to spend one thousand taels of silver to set up a charity hall, this new path was already in front of him. Zhao Ran believed that spending money in this way would be very efficient, and his merit would inevitably increase.
Establishing charity funds is only the first step. If you go deeper and touch on the fundamental issues, more people will benefit. How will this kind of merit be calculated? Zhao Ran is very much looking forward to this. (To be completed.)
