Zhao Ran continued to turn the pages. The second part was the ranking of the various state capitals in Sichuan Province. It seems that this credibility book is exclusive to Sichuan Province, and the information below the central and provincial capitals in other provinces cannot be seen.
Ranking first is undoubtedly the capital city. It is the most populous place in the entire Sichuan Province, and is also where the Yuhuang Pavilion and Xuanyuan Temple are located. In the 19th year of Jiajing's reign, the credibility value reached 8.85 million guine.
Second only to Dufu is Yufu, with a credibility value of 6.32 million.
The third place is Jiading Prefecture, with a credibility value of 4.7 million.
Following them are Xuzhou, Luzhou, Kuizhou, Baoning, Longan, Shunzhou and Tongchuan.
The total credibility of the above ten prefectures accounts for more than 80% of the province.
At the bottom of the ranking is Lizhou, which has the smallest population and borders Tubo. Its credibility value is only 920,000.
The third part of the credibility book is the ranking of each county. There are ninety-two counties in the province. Guyang County ranks tenth, with a credibility value of more than 863,000 Gui, which is about to catch up with the entire Lizhou.
The last part is the ranking of 106 rural temples in the province. The first one is Junshan Temple, with a credibility value of 336,200 Gui, beating Qingcheng Temple in Guan County, Dufu.
314,800 Gui, ranking first in the province.
You should know that Qingcheng Temple is located at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain. Although it has a small population, thanks to the reputation of Xuanyuan Temple, there is an endless stream of pilgrims every year and it is extremely prosperous. Since its establishment, the temple has been ranked first for more than two hundred years.
, has never fallen below the altar, but was finally surpassed by the newly emerged Junshan Temple in the 19th year of Jiajing.
A look at the third-placed Longquan Temple in Dufu will tell you how difficult it is for the Junshan Temple. This large temple located on the Luoshui River only costs more than 220,000 gui, which is a full 100,000 gui compared to the Qingcheng Temple.
Looking at this ranking, not to mention the feeling of comfort in Zhao Ran's heart, he couldn't get enough of it no matter how many times he looked at it.
Zhao Ran sat in his seat in the first group of temple blessings, looking at the bustling temple blessings coming in one after another, and kept thinking about what he should say.
He has received a notice from Zhao Zhixing to make a speech during the group discussion. According to Xuanyuan Guan's arrangement, among the two groups where the Xiang Temple is located, the top ten and the bottom ten in the trust book will have to speak, and the top ten will
The top ten people mainly summarize their experiences, and the last ten people mainly summarize their lessons.
The first person to speak was Jianshan Miao Miaozhu from Jianzhou (this state is a county) in Boryeong Prefecture, who ranked last in the province. He walked up to the podium tremblingly, took out a manuscript from his arms, and coughed.
I thought about it for a while, and then started to read it.
Zhao Ran took a look and saw, isn't this an acquaintance? Ding Miaozhu, who used to spread his wealth around with his policy articles and ask for corrections.
What a coincidence. Zhao Ran didn't know his name at the time, so he ranked him as A, B, C, and D according to the order in which he came to visit. As a result, when the gentleman's name was reported just now, his real surname was Ding.
As soon as Ding Miaozhu's speech began, Zhao Ran frowned secretly. In Zhao Ran's understanding, the reason why Xuanyuan Guan arranged the speech was nothing more than two-fold meaning. One was to reward merit and punish the underachievers, and the other was to summarize experience and
Lessons, let everyone think about what should be learned and what should be avoided.
Ding Miaozhu obviously only understood the first level of intention. He kept admitting his mistakes in his speech, but the most critical aspect of summarizing lessons was not mentioned at all. Such a speech has no other purpose except to comment on a correct attitude.
.
After hearing this, Zhao Ran still knew nothing about the situation of Jianshan Temple. He just wanted to ask Ding Miaozhu, have you ever thought about how to get rid of the disgraceful hat of being the last in the province?
Among the temple blessing speeches of the first group of several who ranked in the bottom ten, the temple blessing speech of Shuihe Temple in Lizhou was better, and only he was unscripted. After Zhao Ran listened, he basically had a general understanding of the situation of Shuihe Temple in Lizhou.
Then you have a general understanding.
It can only be said that this person from Shuihe Temple was not blessed with good luck. He was born in Shuihe Village, which is more than 300 miles away from Dadu, the administrative seat of Lizhou. However, it is very close to Dajianlu, an important town under the jurisdiction of Gansi tribe in Tubo. It can be climbed over two mountains.
arrive.
If the area where Shuihe Village was not located was extremely poor, and if this mountain road had not been difficult to support the army, it would have fallen into the hands of the Tibetans long ago.
If he had a choice, Zhao Ran believed that Shuihe Temple Zhu would definitely not stay here, but who said he was a Shuihe native? Matters in his hometown have become a huge responsibility that he cannot shake off. Likewise,
It is also a huge burden.
It is such a place that even the Tibetan people look down on. It is not easy for this temple leader to work hard to reach 31,000 Gui, surpassing six rural temples.
According to Zhao Ran's opinion, this temple blessing should not only not be criticized and criticized, but should instead be commended by Xuanyuan Guan.
After the negative examples were spoken, it was the turn of the positive examples. They were still spoken in order from back to front, with Zhao Ran ranked last.
Different from the negative examples, the few temple ministers who introduced advanced experiences basically did not write the manuscripts. Even those who came up with manuscripts rarely read them.
After listening to a few speeches, Zhao Ran indeed gained a lot of useful information and learned many useful methods. He felt that the trip was really worthwhile.
He couldn't help but lament that he always said, "Watch his words more than his actions." Being able to talk is not as good as being able to act. But in fact, in most cases, you can already watch his actions just by watching his words.
In other words, those who are able to speak in a non-scripted way are basically not very capable - at least there is content in his speech, which means that he has thought about it, pondered it, and even experienced it himself.
As for those who cannot even speak clearly, or whose speech is empty, or even pronounce other words according to the script, in most cases it can be determined that they have basically no concept, no thinking, and no experience in what they want to do.
Of course, due to historical limitations, the successful experiences summarized in the speeches of these temple blessings are basically concentrated on how to set up altars, how to persuade people to do good, how to guide incense, how to give to the poor...
It cannot be said that Zhao Ran can also learn a lot of skills from it, but the path he takes is completely different from Zhao Ran.
Finally it was Zhao Ran's turn to take the stage. He straightened his robes and walked slowly onto the podium without holding any manuscript paper in his hand.
Speaking without a script can very well show a person's ability and level. Zhao Ran had all the ideas for the establishment and even the development of Junshan Temple, and he didn't need a script at all.
But unlike the previous temple blessings, Zhao Ran started speaking in the vernacular.
"I just listened to the speeches of so many fellow Taoists, and I was deeply inspired. In fact, even the temple blessings at the back have something to learn from. For example, the Lan Miao Zhu of Shuihe Temple, you Li people live in such a
In the difficult mountains, we still maintain a strong belief in Sanqing Dao Zun. This is all the result of Lan Miao Zhu. Here, Pindao would like to pay tribute to Lan Miao Zhu."
Zhao Ran clicked on the names of a few more temple blessings, some praising them, some making fun of them, and immediately attracted the attention of more than fifty temple blessings in this group to him.
To make your speech attractive, you need to interact with the audience frequently and click on the audience's name from time to time - this is a little trick that Zhao Ran doesn't want to tell you.
"In the 19th year of Jiajing, Junshan Temple achieved the first place in the ranking of rural temples in the province, with a credibility value of more than 330,000 Gui. Pindao was filled with emotion and thought about the reason why it was able to achieve such results.
Maybe it’s a slightly different path up and down from Junshan Temple.”
After a pause, Zhao Ran glanced at the audience and said with great momentum: "What we are concerned about is people's livelihood! In addition to people's livelihood, it is also people's livelihood!"
