Fan an’s monthly ticket encouragement. My child is sick and I’m really sorry for the delay until now. I originally planned to add more updates, but I can only postpone it until my child gets better, and I can squeeze in more time.
The more people talked, the happier they became. They were all imagining what Junshan would be like when it became prosperous in the future, and their eyes were full of longing.
Although the night was already very late, since everyone had no intention of leaving, Zhao Ran continued: "Let's talk about how these ten thousand silver should be spent. If the Junshan area wants to develop into what I just said, in the future,
There is still a long way to go, and it requires everyone’s concerted efforts.”
Jin Jiu and others all said: "Miao Zhu, please just give your orders. We will do our best."
Zhao Ran nodded and said: "How the money is spent is actually related to the development of Junshan Temple. Now, although Junshan Grassroots has a preliminary outline, it still owes a lot. I think the most important thing is the lack of manpower.
.Junior Brother Jin, how many people are there in Junshan now?"
Junshan Temple has always been in charge of Taoist affairs and government affairs. As the actual manager, Jin Jiu has a clear understanding of the situation of the people under his rule. He immediately said: "Zhongjiazhuang has one hundred and eighty-three households, and the number of small households is eight hundred and ninety;
There are 220 households in Lijiazhuang, and there are 1,090 people in Dingkou; there are 261 households in Wujiazhuang, and there are 1,370 people in Dingkou."
Zhao Ran said: "That's more than three thousand people in Dingkou? There are too few people with such ideas! What we want to create in the future is a big business, and it is far from enough to rely on just these people. So the first priority now is
Absorb the population.”
Jin Jiu is no longer the dandy he once was. He knows the people's livelihood and conditions very well. He immediately wondered: "But the arable land in Junshan is gone. Now each household is equally divided into about 20 acres. If more people come,
, where to find fields?”
Zhao Ran said: "The valley to the west of Xiaojun Mountain is relatively flat. If it is renovated, it can gain an additional 5,000 acres."
Jin Jiu hesitated and said: "But there is a large old forest there, unlike here. If it is a wasteland, it will take three to five years to clear it."
Zhao Ran said: "Didn't you already build temporary greenhouses for the victims there? It's just right, there's no need to move the place. In the future, when there are more victims, we don't want to stand in the way, which will easily cause trouble. Let's gather the victims there. Let's do it now
The porridge method is not good, and it feeds lazy people. Moreover, it cannot retain people. After the victims are fed and nourished, they will stay for a few months and then go back. What I mean is that everyone who receives relief must work.
After the disaster victims arrive, they must be distinguished. Those who are willing to stay in Junshan in the future will be assigned to each household according to the number of households. The land ranges from five to ten acres, and the amount of food paid is the same as in Junshan. Starting from the greenhouse where they currently live, logging will be carried out.
I will level the land, build the house, and purchase the tools. The wood can be used to build the house, and most of the rest will be stored properly and used as raw materials for home workshops in the future."
Jin Jiudao: "There are fewer fields than in Junshan? If you have a family with a large number of people, it may be difficult to sustain the food grown on this small amount of land."
Zhao Ran smiled and said: "It is precisely to make it difficult for them to make a living solely on the fields. Otherwise, where will we find so many people to work in the future workshops?"
Jin Jiu asked again: "What if you don't want to?"
Zhao Ran said: "If you don't want to, just organize yourself and participate in the rush harvest. After the autumn harvest is completed, you can participate in logging and land reclamation. In short, if you want to eat for a day, you must work for a day until they leave."
Jin Jiu thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's hard to leave our homeland, so I'm afraid not many are willing to stay."
Zhao Ran said: "You can count as much as you can. Of course, you must be targeted when providing specific relief..."
Jin Jiu was stunned, but Lin Shuangwen already understood and said thoughtfully: "Miao Zhu, if you are willing to stay, you must treat them better?"
Zhao Ran nodded: "For example, when making porridge, divide it into two pots. One pot has more rice, one pot has less rice, one pot adds some vegetable leaves, and the other pot has nothing. Another example, when building a house, directly mark the
"Which wooden house belongs to which household? Once it is built, each household will move in. Those who are not willing to stay will continue to live in the greenhouse."
Jin Jiu also understood and asked, "What if they regret it?"
Zhao Ran said: "It doesn't matter if you regret it. We have done the work anyway. As long as we open up the valley and build the house, if he wants to leave at that time, we will not suffer any loss. At most, we will let him eat more. But I still believe that,
Based on our conditions, it is still very attractive. If they regret to return to their hometown, they will not only have to deal with the waterlogged land, but also endure higher taxes than us. Why bother? As for the fact that it is difficult to leave their hometown... Our Guyang County is right next to it.
Jiangyou County is not far away from home."
Seeing that everyone had no doubts, Zhao Ran said: "Junior Brother Jin wants to take charge of the overall situation of Junshan Temple, so leave this matter to Brother Lin. The biggest problem is how to purchase enough food. The issue of food purchase should be handled by Shopkeeper Jin
Manager Li has done a good job in taking care of the victims at the Charity Hall, and will send a batch over after organizing a batch. I estimate that this amount of money will be a large amount, and I plan to spend 7,000 taels, and the remaining silver will be used for 300 taels each.
We have prepared a furniture workshop and a ceramics workshop, but we have 2,400 taels left to spare. What do you think?"
Seeing that everyone suddenly agreed, Zhao Ran asked them to discuss the detailed charter tomorrow. He said he was tired and kicked the excited Jin Jiu and others out of the room.
At this time, only Jue Yuan was left in the room, and Zhao Ran said: "It's getting late today. I live in the west room, and my senior brother went to the east room to rest."
"Brother Taoist, have you finished handling the affairs in the temple?"
"Ah, it's done."
"Brother Taoist, don't you want to ask why the poor monk appeared in Ming Dynasty?"
"Looking at your appearance, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay in Buddhism any longer? So you are determined to return to secular life? Or are you simply coming to seek refuge in Buddhism?"
Jue Yuan was speechless for a while, and then sneered: "The poor monk has done a good job as the abbot of the Great Leiguang Temple, how can he not stay here any longer?"
Zhao Ran smiled and said: "Senior Brother, is he very resentful? It's not a good idea to talk like this. I hope it's better to wait for Senior Brother to calm down before we talk. Otherwise, Senior Brother will lose control of his emotions and really can't help but take action. I'm afraid that I'll have another
I hurt my senior brother."
Jue Yuan thought of the fight during the day, and couldn't help but beat the snare drum in his heart, and his momentum weakened by three points. He sighed and said: "Brother Taoist, don't blame the poor monk for being unhappy... The poor monk just wants to ask, what is Brother Taoist about?"
Is your surname Zhao or Zhu?"
Zhao Ran coughed dryly: "This is indeed Pindao's negligence. I had a very happy chat with my senior brother that day and forgot to tell him his real name... In fact, Pindao's surname is Zhao and his first name is Zhiran."
Jue Yuan's face was full of grief and anger: "Brother Zhao Dao, in order to find Zhu Zhimeng, the poor monk has been going back and forth in Long'an Mansion for half a year!"
Zhao Ran was stunned: "It takes that long?"
Jue Yuan said angrily: "You have gone too far. You don't know what is hidden in the place of practice. Mysterious secrets are hidden without a trace. How can it be like our Buddhist door, which is open to welcome guests from all directions! The poor monk thought that it was so beautiful.
The Yun Pavilion is right next to the Wugong Palace in Xizhen, but after looking at every corner of Pingwu County, I was surprised that there was nothing there. The poor monk went to Jiangyou, Shiquan, and Guyang one by one, and finally heard some news and said everything.
Before Meng practiced cultivation, he was in Wuji Mountain..."
Zhao Ran remembered that when he wanted to enter the Taoist sect a few years ago, he was also unable to get in. He couldn't help but arouse the resentment of the same enemy, and said angrily: "Who says it's not the case? It's not down-to-earth at all! He hides his head and shows his tail all day long, sneaking around, and following
I said it’s completely unnecessary!”
Jueyuan: "..."
"Okay, the topic has changed. Let's talk about you. How have you been these past few years?"
Jue Yuan sighed: "It's been hard these past few years..."
Zhao Ran's stomach was filled with joy, and he wondered if he was trying to play the tragedy card, so he said curiously: "I didn't see it, but it's true that Taoist brother has a lot of good things! That cassock of yours is really a treasure... and
The Buddhist beads have entangled my donkey to death. You must know that my donkey is extraordinary, and ordinary people really can't handle it..."
Jue Yuan said in embarrassment: "Those are the scriptures passed down by our Great Leigang Temple for generations. These are the only things that can be compared with Taoist Brother... Let's get down to business. The Sutra of Agaman's Enlightenment is the Precepts and Precepts Sutra handed down by our temple. Take a look.
Since the poor monk traveled thousands of miles to find the scriptures, I also ask Brother Taoist to return them."
Zhao Ran said "Ah": "The Precepts Sutra? Is it very important? I saw that this sutra was useless, so I just put it away without knowing where it went..."
Jue Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Taoist, stop teasing the poor monk. This scripture is actually of no use, but it is an ancient scripture passed down from the Great Leigang Temple. The poor monk must take it back so that he can be worthy of all the abbots and sages in the temple."
Zhao Ran knew that the scripture was definitely not as simple as Jue Yuan said, but as Jue Yuan said, the scripture was of little use to him. His current idea was to see if he could extort some money from Jue Yuan.
