That afternoon, Xuanyuan Guan finally announced that the big meeting was successfully concluded and everyone could return to their own homes and counties.
In the entire promotion office, everyone was packing their bags and saying good things to each other. Zhao Ran came outside the house of Zhu Lanzhihe, a temple master in Shuihe Village, Lizhou, and saw him and two other temple Zhu Lanzhihe from Lizhou packing packages, so he yelled at him.
wave.
Seeing Zhao Ran looking for him, Lan Zhihe came out and asked, "Zhao Miaozhu, is something wrong?"
Zhao Ran said: "It's still a matter of Song Fan. You really don't want to go? I'll tell you the truth. If you go there, you can get half a rank. Don't miss this opportunity easily."
Lan Zhihe asked: "This time Tianhe Palace has been replaced by Du Jianyuan, are you still going?"
Zhao Ran shook his head and said: "No, I am nostalgic... I can't live without the people of Junshan!"
Lan Zhihe felt the same way: "It's the same. I am a native of Shuihe. That land raised me. The people and mountain people there fed me and brought me up. Now is the time for me to give back to them. Why?"
Can you leave? Zhao Miaozhu is really a role model for our generation, he is selfless in his heart!"
Zhao Ran's face turned slightly red, he coughed and said, "Well, let's go find your Zheng Supervisory Academy in Lizhou."
Zheng Supervisor was also packing his bags. When he saw Lan Zhihe leading Zhao Ran over, he smiled and said, "Is it possible that Zhao Xiaomiao is planning to go to Lizhou with me... uh... for inspection?"
Zhao Ran said: "I really want to go now, but I have no choice. I can't leave. There are still many things to deal with in Junshan. I can only live for a while."
Supervisor Zheng said: "Then I will be waiting for you in Lizhou."
Zhao Ran agreed with a smile, and then said: "I have already agreed with Du Jian Yuan. Zheng Jian Yuan will arrange who will take office in Songfan. After three months, he will be directly asked to go to Tianhe Palace to find Du Jian Yuan.
I heard that Tianhe Palace was expanded based on Songzhou Temple, so just go to Songzhou Temple directly."
The Inspector of the Zheng Supervisory Academy said: "Thank you very much."
Comrades from Lizhou left Ye Xueguan the next morning. They hired five trucks and loaded them with some purchased Songfan specialties. They planned to go south to Wenshui first, change boats and then go to Dufu, where they would buy again.
Some goods were finally brought back to Lizhou.
Lizhou is poor and remote, far away from the center of Sichuan Province. Every trip is not easy. If you can buy as many things as possible, you can save more points.
Zhao Ran heard from Lan Zhihe that they originally wanted to buy more seeds, cloth, salt and other goods in the capital, but they came out in a hurry this time and did not raise enough silver, so the goods they could buy were relatively small.
Very little, which is a pity.
Zhao Ran took out two hundred taels of silver and gave it to the Zheng Supervisor, saying that it was the preliminary preparation fee for the Junshan Temple's counterpart project in the Shuihe area. It was mainly used to improve the reception conditions and bear the expenses of food and accommodation for the Junshan Temple inspection team in the future.
Zheng Supervisor understood it as soon as he heard it and was deeply moved. He held Zhao Ran's hand and shook it for a long time without letting go.
Songfan is located in the northwest corner of Sichuan Province. Most of them have to go south to the capital first, and then transfer to the state capitals. Only Long'an Prefecture, Baoning Prefecture and Kuizhou go all the way east. Comrades from Long'an Prefecture would like to send Du Teng off.
He would go to Songzhou to build a Taoist palace, while his colleagues in Kuizhou Prefecture wanted to go to Chengdu first, so only Zhao Ran followed the team from Baoning Prefecture and slowly headed eastward.
At this major meeting, the two temple blessings that left a deep impression on Zhao Ran were the Lan Miao Zhu in Lizhou and the Ding Miao Zhu in Baoning Prefecture.
Ding Miaozhu went to Zhao Ran's residence that day to spread wealth and ask for comments. Because he was the fourth visitor, Zhao Ran called him "A, B, C, D" and called him Ding Miaozhu. Unexpectedly, this gentleman turned out to be the real one.
The surname is Ding.
Ding Miaozhu is the temple blessing of Jianshan Temple in Jianzhou (county-level state), Baoning Prefecture, and ranks last in the trust list of rural temples in the province. Zhao Ran remembers that he heard the speech of this temple blessing, which was empty and incomprehensible.
When I heard it, I felt anxious for him.
However, Ding Miaozhu has an advantage in this person. He is very humble, almost to the point of being humble. When he spoke at that time, he kept admitting his mistakes and desperately reviewed his shortcomings.
In addition to being humble, another advantage of this person is that he likes to sincerely ask for advice from people who are better than himself.
Zhao Ran, who ranked first in the province, naturally became the best person for Ding Miaozhu to seek advice from. He seemed to be paying attention to Zhao Ran all the time. Whenever Zhao Ran left Song Zhiyuan, he would immediately surround him and bring out all kinds of information.
Ask questions.
Zhao Ran was very patient in giving answers at first, but after the fourth day, he suddenly discovered that some of the questions asked by Ding Miaozhu had been asked the previous day.
Well, Zhao Ran continued to answer questions patiently. On the fifth day, he found that several more questions were asked on the second day; and on the sixth day, the same was true...
Zhao Ran was very curious, secretly wondering if this man's memory only lasted three days?
Unfortunately, there was no time to continue the verification. On the seventh day, the team had crossed the entire Longan Prefecture from east to west and arrived at Qingkou where Longan and Baoning Prefectures intersect.
That night at Qingkouji, Zhao Ran chatted with Song Zhiyuan, and unknowingly he talked about Dingmiao Zhu.
Song Zhiyuan said: "I don't think this temple priest named Ding can do it. I just arrived in Baoning Mansion and don't know much about the situation. I made inquiries in the past two days and found out that he has been preaching at Jianshan Temple for three years, and every year he has been preaching.
If you are at the bottom of the province, you will definitely win this."
Zhao Ran had a good impression of Ding Miaozhu. Of course, whether this good feeling was due to enjoying the other person's praise or a bit of pity, he couldn't tell himself, so he spoke to help: "I feel that this person
Ding Miao Zhu is a pretty good person, but this is senior brother’s internal affairs, so I can’t say much. If I want to capture him, it’s excusable, but if I can still give him some time, I’d be willing to help and take him out.
Let’s go to Jianshan Temple during the day and see what’s going on.”
Song Zhiyuan said: "At the end of the year, this is really embarrassing for everyone in Baoning Mansion. I see that he always comes to you these days. Is your friendship okay?"
Zhao Ran nodded and said: "He is very humble and studious. He always comes to discuss issues with me. He is very motivated."
Song Zhiyuan pondered for a moment and said: "In that case, give him another year. If Jiajing's trustworthiness book for 20 years is still at the bottom, then don't blame me, senior brother."
Ding Miaozhu had no idea that because of Zhao Ran's two words, he was saved from a sudden disaster and got a one-year grace period. Therefore, regardless of the effect when studying, he must first correct his attitude towards studying.
Early the next morning, Zhao Ran saw him off outside Qingkou and said goodbye to his colleagues in Baoning Prefecture. After watching Song Zhiyuan and others go away, he set off on his way back.
But it was not the way back to Junshan, but to Wuji Mountain.
