Complaints are complaints, and reality is reality. The reality is that Dong Zhikun has the support of Xizhenwu Palace. Even if other people in Wuji Academy are dissatisfied, they can only swallow their anger and watch, and there is nothing they can do.
After Liu Zhiguang finished complaining to Zhao Ran, he felt a little more relaxed and said: "Junior Brother Zhao, if I were you, I would no longer be in Wuji Courtyard. I would concentrate on cultivating my own immortality in Huayun Pavilion where the gods are.
, how wonderful it is to enjoy one’s own blessings!”
Zhao Ran said: "Junior brother, I was born to be a hard worker. If I don't do something, my heart will not be at ease, and my thoughts on practice will not be smooth. When it comes to doing things, I have something to ask my senior brother for advice and please help me."
"Junior brother, no matter what you say, I will do whatever I can to you!"
"Senior brother knows that as a temple priest in Junshan, I not only have to manage the affairs of the jungle in all directions and persuade people to follow the religion, but also take care of civil affairs. The place in Junshan is really too remote and poor..." Zhao Ran began to complain.
.
Liu Zhiguang asked: "Didn't it say that more than 20,000 acres of fertile farmland were newly opened and 2,000 households were resettled?"
"...Senior brother, you also said that for newly opened land, where is the mature land? There are indeed more people now, but half of them are mountain people who have moved there, and the other half are disaster victims and refugees. They are simply homeless.
Hengchan is so poor!"
"I see……"
"The saying goes that if you want to be rich, build roads first, have more children and cut down more trees..."
"Although this statement is vulgar, it is very reasonable, but I don't know who said it?"
"...Well, the sages said it, the sages..."
"Which sage? Junior brother knows that I am a high-ranking scholar in the academy, and I have the responsibility of passing on karma and teaching. Such aphorisms must be recorded and compiled."
Zhao Ran coughed twice: "...cough...I can't remember this junior brother clearly, but this is not the point. The point is, I have thought about it. If you want the people of Junshan to be fed and clothed, you must
To get out of the mountains, we can only sell the special products in the mountains, um, exchange them, and bring the salt, iron, etc. needed by the people into the mountains, so that the people in the mountains can come out and see the world, and let the people in the mountains
Only when children can receive education can the root problem of poverty be solved."
After finishing his short speech, Zhao Ran waved his hand: "If you want to do all this well, you must build roads!"
Liu Zhiguang was a little distracted for a moment, then rubbed his eyebrows and asked: "Junior Brother Zhao, if you want to build a road, shouldn't you talk to the county magistrate Kong?"
Zhao Ran smiled: "The negotiation has been settled with County Magistrate Kong!"
"Then... is it because you don't have enough financial resources? I can't help you with this. Maybe you should go to the Dong Supervisory Academy and see if this iron cock is willing to pluck its feathers."
Zhao Ran continued to smile: "I have money, so I don't need to pay a copper in the yard."
"Junior Brother Zhao, just tell me clearly, what do you need me to do?"
Zhao Ran quickly took out the map of Guyang County from his sleeve, spread it out on the table, pulled Liu Zhiguang over, pointed at the planned route, and then stopped at a small river: "Brother, my road must start from
A bridge is built here to cross the river. There are senior brothers’ fields nearby. I have calculated it. It is one foot wide and half a mile long, which is about one and a half acres. If you count two acres of land, please sell it to me, senior brother?”
Liu Zhiguang took a sip of tea without choking. He stared at Zhao Ran and said, "Junior brother, that is a good paddy field. It will be inherited by my Liu family in the future. Isn't it too extravagant for you to use it to build roads?"
Zhao Ran sighed: "I can't help it, senior brother. If we don't open a way from here, I will have to go around thirty miles."
Liu Zhiguang shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, think of another way. My paddy field is passed through by you. What's going on? You want to pass it on to future generations..."
"The best paddy field in the market is one acre and sixteen taels. If yours is one and a half acres, I will count it as two acres and give you thirty-two taels!"
"Junior brother, don't make things difficult for me. I saved this land with great difficulty..."
"Fifty taels!"
"Junior brother, why are you targeting my house..."
"One hundred taels!"
"make a deal!"
"Brother, you have taken advantage of it. When the road is opened in the future, your home will be more convenient."
"Haha, thank you so much, junior brother, for taking the trouble!"
Liu Zhiguang's affairs were settled, and Zhao Ran didn't want to stay in Wuji Mountain. With Dong Zhikun and his gang around, he felt that Wuji Mountain was very depressing.
In order to celebrate the happy cooperation, before leaving, Liu Zhiguang sent Zhao Ran a message that Luo Duguan was ill.
"What's the disease? Is it serious?" Zhao Ran asked. If it's just a headache, fever or discomfort, Zhao Ran wouldn't mind taking action and using magic power to help Luo Duguan recover. Or he could simply give Luo Duguan a heart-nourishing pill and add it to him.
Zhang Zhonghe asked him to boil the soup and drink it for a month to ensure that the medicine would cure the disease.
At that time, Zhao Ran bribed the old capital manager with a lot of money to help him with the ultimatum. Afterwards, Zhao Ran learned about the process of the three capital discussions, and the old capital manager played a very important role in it, which made him
Zhong Tenghong, the superintendent of the prison, could not make up his mind for a while, so the old abbot Shi Yuncheng made the final decision on the admission method.
You can say that this old man is greedy for money, but Zhao Ran feels that his character is very guaranteed. At least he will sincerely do things for you after taking the money, which is much better than most people.
Luo Duguan had been in Wuji Academy for decades and was highly regarded by the public. When the old abbot Shi Yuncheng passed away, all the Taoist priests in the academy planned to petition the Xi Zhenwu Palace to recommend Luo Duguan to take over the abbot's "promotion", but he was rejected.
The Xizhenwu Palace suppressed the case on the grounds that the Wuji Academy was responsible for the Zhang Yunzhao case and it was not appropriate to publicly recommend the abbot at this time. After that, the suppression lasted for three years, but nothing happened. Zhao Ran wondered whether the illness of Luo Laodu was related to
Related to heart disease.
Therefore, Zhao Ran decided to visit him.
Luo Duguan lived not far away, just a few yards away from Liu Zhiguang's high-tech room, so Liu Zhiguang simply accompanied Zhao Ran there. At this moment, the yard was full of the bitter smell of cooking medicinal soup, and several fireworkers were busy.
Busy and taking care of everything.
Luo Duguan was lying on the bed and was drowsy. Liu Zhiguang gently called into his ear: "Old Duguan, are you asleep? Zhao Zhiran came to see you."
Luo Duguan slowly opened his eyes, looked at the two people bent over in front of the bed, and said feebly: "Are you here? Zhao Zhiran is here too? Okay, thank you for coming to see me." As he said that, he held up his hands.
The bed is about to rise.
Zhao Ran stretched out his hand to support his back, lifted half of his body up and leaned against the bedside, and let a trace of mana pass through. The mana did not dare to penetrate deep into Laodu Guan's meridians, but just traveled around in a circle on his back.
His face glowed red and his energy level recovered a lot.
Luo Duguan smiled at the corner of his mouth: "It is indeed the method of the Immortal Family. Zhao Zhiran, you are now an Immortal Master. I am happy for you. In the past two years, three Immortal Masters have walked out of our Wuji Academy. You
One, Zhu Zhimeng, one, and Yu Zhiyuan, this is a sign of the great prosperity of our Wuji Mountain."
Liu Zhiguang and Zhao Ran were listening attentively, and they saw the old man getting more and more excited as he spoke: "...Thousands of years ago, Wuji Mountain was also a cave of immortals. The great celestial master Du Guangting once practiced Taoism in our Wuji Mountain. The pair on our mountain gate
The plaque is a facsimile of the handwriting of the Heavenly Master..."
The old man talked incessantly for half an hour, and then he slowly closed his eyes, leaned against the bed and snored. Zhao Ran carefully laid him down, and then quietly walked out of the door with Liu Zhiguang.
