Chapter 3 Want money, people and land

ps: There are so few subscriptions...Okay, let’s do another chapter tonight.@

Junshan Temple is a dojo that Wujiyuan will soon establish. Of course, this was approved by the three capitals of Xizhenwu Palace. However, Baidu of Xinzhenwu Palace had not yet had time to inform Zhao Ran, so he gave Zhao Ran a beating.

Caught off guard.

The reason why it is called Junshan Temple is because the jurisdiction designated by Wujiyuan is just west of Jundu Mountain and east of Xiaojun Mountain. Zhao Ran thought about it, didn't this happen to be the tens of thousands of acres I contracted?

Wasteland? Okay, so it turns out that you just let me mess around on my own land? Does this mean that I am allowed to collect my own incense money, and then I have to hand over the money to Wujiyuan?

Looking at Dong Zhikun's serious face and Xu Tenglong's meaningful smile, Zhao Ran was immediately speechless.

However, he was already prepared to be put into small shoes. Now that the first pair of shoes was thrown at him, he calculated that they were still within the tolerance, so he endured it. It was only a few hundred taels of silver per year, and with Zhao Ran's

There is no problem in paying off hundreds of years of wealth in one lump sum. In fact, looking at it from another perspective, it is not bad to serve as a temple blessing in one's own territory. Fortunately, the county government has nothing to do. Everything is decided by oneself, and the Taoist officials shoulder the responsibility.

.

Zhao Ran's current mind is not on the struggle for power, and the general situation at the moment does not allow him to continue jumping up and down. Although it is a little frustrating to be low, he bends down to accumulate strength. He still understands this truth.

. He has only one plan in the near future, which is to "finish" his Qi Sea into shape, and then enter the Taoist realm as soon as possible. Compared with fighting for power and profit, this is the top priority right now.

The reason why the new Zhike Chen Zhizhong has not yet stepped down from his duties as director is because Dong Zhikun was not very popular in Wuji Academy in the past. Now that he has suddenly ascended to the position, there are really no candidates in his pocket who can be replaced. Therefore, Chen Zhizhong, who had just "closed" to him, was asked to serve as the director.

The book was written in a canon and deliberately left empty in order to attract more "aspiring" Taoist friends to come closer to him.

When Zhao Ran went to Dianzuofang to go through the relevant procedures, Chen Zhizhong sighed and said, "Junior Brother Zhao, Wuji Courtyard has undergone great changes. Senior Brother, I am also a little discouraged, and I have the idea of ​​​​begging to go..."

Zhao Ran was amused in his heart, but his face was full of heaviness. He nodded to show that he fully understood, and waited to hear "but".

"...But, senior brother, I have devoted more than ten years to Wuji Academy, and I really can't bear to see Wuji Academy sink like this, so I have to work hard to do my best for my fellow sects in the courtyard and for the people of the county!"

I also hope that Junior Brother Zhao will understand my difficulties, Senior Brother."

Zhao Ran sighed and said: "Senior Brother Chen, Wujiyuan is bound to be more dangerous in the future. Senior brother, you must hold on. There is an old saying in my hometown, 'Don't let go when you stick to the green mountains.' Junior brother, I am about to travel to Mount Jundu, and I wish I could stay here."

Let’s use these words to encourage each other to help our senior fellow apprentices!”

Chen Zhizhong was so moved that he almost burst into tears. He shook Zhao Ran's shoulders vigorously. He seemed to want to prove his determination: "Junior brother, these words are very good, and they are a reflection of my feelings! Don't worry, junior brother. You're gone, Jun.

If you have any difficulties after crossing the mountain, just come to see my senior brother. I will do my best to prevent my junior brother from being wronged at all!"

Zhao Ran sighed again - he was already sighing so much that he was almost out of oxygen: "The strong wind knows the strong grass, the country is in chaos... The courtyard is in chaos and Zhongliang is seen. Thank you so much, senior brother! I really have many difficulties, senior brother, I hope you can help me!"

Chen Zhizhong nodded heavily: "Junior brother, please tell me."

Zhao Ran immediately lowered his head and started counting on his fingers: "Going to Jundu Mountain, everything is a grassroots effort. The temple construction fee, daily management fee, propaganda and education fee, ritual expenditure, etc. all need to be funded by the hospital...

…”

Chen Zhizhong's eyelids twitched: "...well..."

Zhao Ran continued to clasp his fingers and said: "Also. I just inquired about the Longshan Temple's staff of five Taoist priests and ten pyrotechnics laymen. Junior brother, I don't ask for more, just compare it to the Longshan Temple..."

Chen Zhizhong's eyelids twitched again: "...uh..."

"Also, in order to avoid misunderstandings during the sermon, I think we should first delineate the specific boundaries between Taoist temples and Taoist temples, such as Zaolin and Chongmagou in the northeast of Mount Jundu, although they are not within the scope of the wasteland I contracted

Inside, but it is at the foot of Jundu Mountain, separated from the outside by the Chongma River. It is very inconvenient for the Taoist temple to manage, so it is better to put it under the Taoist temple..."

"..."

Finally, Zhao Ran took out a list from his arms, which listed all the conditions he had just proposed. Chen Zhizhong, with a smile on his face, repeatedly said that he would try his best to satisfy it, and then sent Zhao Ran out of Dian Zaofang with great enthusiasm.

Chen Zhizhong returned to the table and sat down, wiped the sweat from his forehead, copied the paper and read it again, then picked up a pen and started to make corrections. First, he crossed out the five hundred taels for the start-up fee, wrote one hundred taels, and then

The establishment was changed to three people, and the Huo Gong laymen were also cut in half, and then continued to modify other matters...

Zhao Ran left Dian Zao Fang and went straight to find Gao Gong Liu Zhiguang. When he came to the door of the Sutra Hall, classes were over. The Taoist boys were going out to have lunch one after another. Jin Jiu was among them. He saw Zhao and hurried away.

He came over, bowed and asked, "Senior Brother Zhao, how's it going?"

Zhao Ran nodded and said: "Don't worry, I'm looking for Liu Gaogong about this matter."

Jin Jiu immediately beamed with joy: "That's good, that's good! That Zhang Ze has been extremely rude in front of me these days. Seeing that he is about to receive an ultimatum, when he comes to the Sutra Hall, where will I be?

It’s a good day. It’s better to follow your senior brother and go outside to enjoy yourself! By the way, senior brother, when will we set off for Longshan?”

"It's not Longshan, it's Junshan. The courtyard will set up a Junshan temple between Jundu Mountain and Xiaojunshan. Let me be the temple to pray."

"Ah? That wasteland?" Jin Jiu was a little dumbfounded.

"What? You don't want to go?"

Jin Jiu hesitated for a moment, and when he saw Zhao Ran staring at him with a half-smile, he immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Go! It's better than staying on the mountain and suffering!"

Zhao Ran patted Jin Jiu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "How can you think so badly? Let me tell you, we are creating a big business!"

After fooling Jin Jiu for a few words, Zhao Ran entered the scripture hall and met Liu Zhiguang, a high-ranking official. Liu Zhiguang paced back and forth in the room impatiently. When he saw Zhao, he asked: "Why are you here? By the way, and Chen Zhizhong

Is it settled?"

The friendship between Zhao Ran and Liu Zhiguang was extraordinary. When he recounted what had just happened, Liu Zhiguang said scornfully: "Hypocritical! What a villain! He said what he wanted to do with great righteousness before, but in the blink of an eye he voted for the man named Dong. What a double-dealer! What the hell! What a villain!"

Don’t believe his lies. How can he make the final decision on such a big matter? Just look at it, he promised lightly, and it’s fine if he doesn’t lose half of it for you!”

Zhao Ran smiled and said: "I also know that this is not what he has the final say. As long as I can get half of it, I will be satisfied. No matter how close it is, I can accept it." Although Zhao Ran also looked down on duplicitous guys like Chen Zhizhong,

But he would not give up dealing with him because of this, especially when he was at a disadvantage and he did not mind continuing to interact with him. At least Chen Zhizhong did not completely break off relations with him, which left room for him to draw on.

Zhao Ran proposed to send Jin Jiu to Junshan Temple, but Liu Zhiguang agreed without saying a word, and asked Zhao Ran to choose again, and he would just take the Taoist boy he liked.

Zhao Ran asked Liu Zhiguang again why he was sullen here, and Liu Zhiguang did not hide it, saying: "This year, Xizhenwu Palace gave Wujiyuan four places to receive ultimatums. I have a nephew who wants to enter the Taoist sect, but before

I mentioned it to Dong Zhikun two days ago, and he even said that he could not directly enter the sutra hall without the experience of pyrotechnics. Well, I agree, let’s just follow the rules and let him become a pyrotechnics layman first. But Luo Du said just now

He showed me the list of candidates who are going to receive the ultimatum this year. His nephew also has no experience in pyrotechnics, so why can he receive the ultimatum?"

After listening, Zhao Ran was speechless. Let’s not talk about the issue of darkness or not. The key is that this kind of thing can actually be done better, and there is no need to be so rough and direct. It even aroused Liu Zhiguang’s anger, which shows that Dong Zhikun is not even the most basic person.

His political skills are lacking, and he really lacks experience.

After comforting Liu Zhiguang for a few words and persuading him not to have a face-to-face conflict with Dong Zhikun for the time being, Zhao Ran left the Sutra Hall. After that, Zhao Ran went to visit Sandu and the deacons one by one. Everyone's attitude towards him was pretty good, and they didn't care about him.

He lost power and deliberately avoided it. It seems that the impression Zhao Ran left on everyone before was a bit too deep. No one, including Jiang Zhiheng, was willing to openly conflict with him, and they were all worried about whether he would make a comeback in the future.

There is fear. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels are better and updated faster!
