Liu Zhiguang changed his clothes, and together with Fang Zhihe, they took advantage of the getting dark to avoid the people in the courtyard and went down Wuji Mountain.
Due to the rise of Jinji Store in the past two years, the development at the foot of Wuji Mountain has become a fairly prosperous street.
The two of them wandered around the street casually, and walked around to the back of Jinji Store. Seeing no one around them, they turned around and went in.
Zhao Ran had been waiting in the room for a long time. The dishes were placed on the table. When he saw the two people coming in, he smiled and nodded: "Senior Brother Liu, Senior Brother Fang, please take a seat."
Liu Zhiguang laughed and said: "Junior Brother Zhao, I have been waiting for several months and finally you are here."
Zhao Ran smiled: "It's my fault for keeping senior brother waiting for so long." He then called out to Fang Zhihe: "Senior brother Fang, come and take a seat. It's been how many years since we drank together? How many drinks have you had today?"
Fang Zhihe didn't dare to call Zhao Ran "junior brother" like Liu Zhiguang did - although Zhao Ran was indeed his junior brother, he couldn't help but say in a respectful tone: "I'll get drunk with Du Guan today!"
Zhao Ran and Liu Zhiguang sat down, while Fang Zhihe went over to bolt the door, walked to the table, patted open the seal of the wine jar, and began to pour wine.
When the wine was full, the three of them raised their glasses and drank them all in one gulp.
Fang Zhihe was busy pouring wine, and Liu Zhiguang said: "I received an official document from the West Zhenwu Palace a few days ago, and Baidu announced that he would be promoted to the throne. Zhongyuan and Jiang Gaogong were also promoted to the third capital. I was thinking that my junior brother should be promoted soon.
Come over."
Zhong Tenghong and Jiang Zhibiao both came from Wujiyuan, so Liu Zhiguang still refers to their old positions in Wujiyuan. This is also a habit in the Taoist workplace, and it seems that he is closer to the old leader.
Zhao Ran said: "I live in a corner of Junshan, and I don't have much information. Thank you, senior brother, for reporting the news to me."
Dong Zhikun still refused to forward the official document to Junshan Temple. He had already become determined by the weight of the scale and was going all the way. Zhao Ran understood this completely.
But given his current status, saying that he was "not well informed" was just nonsense to make Liu Zhiguang happy. He didn't need to go to Wujiyuan to ask for official documents at all. Many people tipped him off.
Nowadays, whenever there is any disturbance in Wujiyuan, Junshan Temple will receive the news immediately. Sometimes there are three or two letters, and sometimes there are even more than ten letters.
For example, this time about Bai Tengming's ascension to the throne, Zhao Ran received nineteen letters from the Wuji Academy. Some familiar ones and some unfamiliar ones all actively acted as his eyes and ears for him.
The general trend is that no one is a fool.
Liu Zhiguang was very happy after hearing this and said: "Junior brother, just use it." He then asked: "Junior brother, are you ready?"
Zhao Ran said: "It's almost done. When the time comes, people from Xizhenwu Palace will come. Senior brother, just hand over the things. Have you seen the things?"
Liu Zhiguang laughed: "This Chen Zhizhong, he knows what he is doing this time. I have read everything he brought out, and it is more than enough to kill someone named Dong! By the way, have you met Chen Zhizhong yet?"
Zhao Ran shook his head: "It's good to have senior brother here for these things. I'm missing Chen Zhizhong. He is a smart man and knows what to do. There is no need for me to say anything more. Besides, it is not appropriate for me to meet many other people during this trip.
, I made an agreement that if I meet too many people, it will be detrimental to me."
Liu Zhiguang and Fang Zhihe were treated as confidants. Liu Zhiguang felt that he was very considerate, while Fang Zhihe was so excited that he could not speak. He kept pouring wine and dishes, serving tea and water, and served Zhao wholeheartedly.
Du Guan and Liu Gaogong.
Both of them understood what Zhao Ran said. Although they both knew that Zhao Ran wanted to bring down Dong Zhikun, they had to act as if Zhao Ran had nothing to do with it. Reputation - at least reputation on the surface, for a person
It is very important for Taoist priests who are interested in climbing the Taoist career.
After drinking a few more glasses of wine, eating a few bites of food, and chatting for a while, Zhao Ran put down his chopsticks. Seeing this, Liu Zhiguang and Fang Zhihe also quickly stopped and waited for Zhao Ran to speak.
Zhao Ran took a sip of tea, wiped his mouth, and then said slowly: "I came to see Senior Brother Liu today for other reasons."
Liu Zhiguang smiled and said: "Junior brother, just tell me what you have to say. Whatever I can do, I will definitely do it for you!"
Zhao Ran said: "Actually, there is nothing to do. I just want to ask senior brother, what do you think of the missionary affairs in Guyang County? Can you tell me, what are our top priorities?"
Liu Zhiguang did not dare to laugh anymore. He thought seriously for a moment and said, "I think there is only one thing that Wujiyuan has to do, which is to implement the successful experience of Junshan Temple in the whole county."
Zhao Ran nodded: "Can you tell me more specifically? In the eyes of senior brother, what are the successful experiences of Junshan Temple?"
Liu Zhiguang said: "The first is to implement the charity fund system throughout the county as soon as possible; the second is to establish rural mutual aid groups; the third is to build roads and dig canals. I am ashamed to say that my specialty is classics and justice, but governance is not
It’s my shortcomings. These three items are my junior’s successful experiences in Junshan, but I think since they are successful experiences, why can’t they be implemented? Of course, to do these things, we must also have a tacit understanding with Magistrate Kong.
If the Taoist Academy and the county government work together, we can definitely make it happen. Didn’t we make it happen back then?"
Zhao Ran took out some of the issues and discussed them with Liu Zhiguang. After talking about them, the meal was almost finished.
Zhao Ran finally said: "After listening to senior brother's words, I feel at ease and relieved."
Liu Zhiguang smiled and said: "Junior brother, don't worry. After you become the supervisor, we will definitely govern Guyang well according to junior brother's experience in Junshan, so that the people of Guyang can live a good life."
After sending Liu Zhiguang and Fang Zhihe away, Zhao Ran called in the shopkeeper Jin who was waiting outside and asked him to clean up the table and arrange the food and wine again.
Not long after waiting, Shopkeeper Jin came in and reported: "Master Immortal, Zhu Du has talked about it."
Zhao Ran stood up and came out to greet him: "Zhao Zhiran has always said that I have seen him before, and Senior Brother Ma will please come in soon."
Zhu Duxiao laughed and clasped his fists in front of his head. After sitting down, he asked: "Why did Zhiran invite me out for a drink so late?"
Zhao Ran smiled and said: "I'm too lazy to go up the mountain. There are some people I don't want to see, and I feel uncomfortable when I see them. I invite you to come out and sit down tonight. This is also a way for me to thank you for your support in the past."
When Zhao Ran received the ultimatum, Zhu Dou said that he had worked hard, especially during the exam. Zhao Ran was able to pass the test with full marks because of this old man who helped him review his homework in advance. It is natural to mention the past now.
I mean thank you.
Zhu Dou understood it as soon as he heard it, and couldn't help but feel very relieved. He secretly thought that this boy was a person who cared about old relationships. He still remembers the things I helped him back then, and it was not in vain that I spent a lot of effort.
In fact, Zhao Ran paid a lot of money back then, otherwise how could Zhu Dou be willing to help him? At this moment, he had forgotten about the cashier, but he had always been concerned about helping Zhao Ran. This is just the habit of most people.
After three rounds of wine, five dishes and a basketful of polite words, Zhao Ran asked: "I wonder what the difficulties are in talking about it?"
