We first arrived at Wuji Mountain along the way. Zhao Ran asked Lao Lu and his family to wait at the foot of the mountain while he went up the mountain and returned to Wujiyuan.
After entering the abbot's residence, he had just drank a cup of tea when he saw Liu Zhiguang, the superintendent of the prison, coming to him with a stack of official documents.
"Why did senior brother send the letter in person? Besides, senior brother can handle the general affairs in the hospital, why bother reporting them all to me?" Zhao Ran stood up and poured tea for Liu Zhiguang.
Liu Zhiguang hurriedly piled the official documents on the desk, took the teacup handed over by Zhao Ran with both hands, and said with a smile: "It's rare for the abbot to come back. You are the abbot of Wujiyuan, and you still have to take charge of some big things. Otherwise, I will take it from my heart."
Not allowed."
Zhao Ran smiled and picked up the official documents one by one and read them. The first one made his heart move.
"Jingzhimo has been transferred?"
"Yes, it can be regarded as a happy event. This person has always been against the abbot and our Wujiyuan. If the abbot hadn't made him suffer a big loss during the Ye Xueguan meeting, he might have tormented us for how long! He is like this
Once I left, it was really satisfying!”
After Zhang Yunzhao was assassinated, Liu Zhiguang was also implicated, and he was frustrated for five years. He was very resentful towards Jing Jing Mo Zi, who had advocated relocating to Wujiyuan.
Zhao Ran shook his head: "Transferred to the general manager, and there is another appointment? This is really a good thing or a bad thing."
"He lost such a big face in Ye Xueguan. He can't stay in Sichuan Province anymore. He went to Zongguan and is far away from us. At least it won't be so easy to do bad things, right?"
Zhao Ran said: "Then it depends on what position he takes in the General Guan... Who is the new Supervisor of Tongchuan Mansion? Has Xuanyuan Guan issued a document?"
"This has not yet been received. It may take some time."
Zhao Ran then flipped through the second book and couldn't help frowning after reading it: "What's going on with this teaching named Li?"
Liu Zhiguang said: "Kong County Honorable said that this person was recommended by the previous magistrate Feng before he left office last year. He was the candidate for the Sichuan Provincial Examination in the sixth year of Jiajing. He failed the exam several times in a row. After he stopped thinking about taking the exam again, he came to us.
Guyang County was appointed as an eunuch."
Zhao Ran said: "Despise Taoist scriptures and focus on Confucianism? Have the issues complained by the county school students been verified?"
Liu Zhiguang said: "After preliminary verification by Kong County, it is generally true. Since the matter involves Xuanhua, we have reported it to our Wuji Academy. Please tell us how to deal with it."
Zhao Ran asked: "What's your opinion?"
Liu Zhiguang said: "I am going to ask Fang Zhihe, a high-ranking scholar in the Sutra Hall, to go to the county school to review this matter."
Zhao Ran nodded: "It is indeed necessary to review and deal with it. Review two issues. One is whether the teachings named Li exist in the county school; second, if there is such a problem, we must find out what he did.
Purpose."
Liu Zhiguang nodded: "I understand, let Junior Brother Ma go there."
Zhao Ran pointed to his head and said: "Tao is the foundation of Confucianism, and Confucianism is the end of Tao! Ideological problems are never small problems. If there is a problem, it will dig up the foundation of our Taoism and shake the country.
Ben, you must not be careless!"
After a pause, he added: "Of course, you can't accuse people unjustly. When you go to investigate, you can't accept one side of the story. But once verified, you must deal with it seriously and never tolerate it!"
After roughly flipping through the official documents at the back, he picked out another one, looked at it, and said, "This year's tax from the county government to the Taoist temple is only this small? I remember that it seems to be less than half of what it was when I was the head of the temple.
"
Liu Zhiguang shook his head and sighed: "Two thousand taels of silver, one thousand five hundred shi of rice, and two hundred and thirty bolts of silk. The county government strictly pays 30% of the annual income. It is indeed less than in previous years, but it is mainly Dong Zhikun's fault.
I believe next year will be much better.”
After thinking about it, Zhao Ran said: "You and I can't be too shabby for hosting sermons in the first year. I mean, we won't keep any part of this preaching fund this year, and we will raise another two thousand silver from the fine and confiscation in Dong's case.
, make up the amount of four thousand, and hand it over to Xizhenwu Palace together, what do you think? The eighteen schools of Huayun Hall have many more monks than other halls. If Xizhenwu Palace does not pay enough, what do you think?
The cost will be much less... There are too few of these gold sands, paper, ores, and medicinal materials. Try to go to the Taoist temples in Boryeong Prefecture and Du Prefecture to see if they have any surplus and purchase them.
Some come over."
Liu Zhiguang nodded: "Everything depends on the abbot."
After handling a few matters in Wuji Court, Zhao Ran called the newly appointed head of Fangtang Guan Er over, gave him a few words of advice, and then set off back to Junshan Temple.
The new Junshan Temple has been completed, and the back garden has nearly doubled. According to Zhao Ran's arrangement, more than ten large trees were transplanted and planted on a newly piled hill, forming a forest.
The old donkey led the family into the back garden happily, especially the two little donkeys, who ran around like curious babies and sniffed around.
The Fairy of Toad Palace, the layman of Qingtian, the White Tiger, and the Master of Five Colors were all there, gathering together and talking about something unknown. When they saw the old donkey’s family of four who rushed into the garden, they all looked up, and then lowered their heads.
Keep chattering.
Zhao Ran followed behind and said hello: "Everyone, Pindao is back, haha. Let me introduce to you, these are the family members of Brother Donkey, the taller one is Lady Donkey, and the two younger ones are Donkey Xiaobao.
…”
Fairy Toad Palace waved to Zhao Ran: "Little Taoist priest, come quickly, we are discussing the second battle of Mount Taihua."
Zhao Ran leaned over and whispered: "Fairy, it's not good for you to do this, after all, we are Brother Donkey's wife and children..."
Fairy Toad Palace waved her little paw: "Little Donkey has too many wives and children, and he doesn't know them all. Do you want to say hello?"
Zhao Ran was unhappy: "Fairy, according to you, we are all from the same lineage as Junshan. Is it really okay to talk about Brother Donkey behind his back like this?"
The layman from Qingtian said in a loud voice: "Little Taoist, do you know that Taoist friend Lu has two wives and three children in Tuling in Jiangyou? In Jianshan in Baoning, do you know that he has three wives and two children? In Daqingshan there is one
Do you know that two wives and five babies? By the way, I went to Taihua Mountain a while ago and found two more wives, but I don’t know if they were pregnant with babies."
Zhao Ran was stunned and speechless, and asked in disbelief: "Really?"
The master of five colors on the side added: "There is another wife in Qingcheng Mountain, and she seems to have a child, but I don't know if it is one or two."
Zhao Ran looked at the old donkey playing with his baby in the garden. He couldn't imagine it. He just felt that the scene was so beautiful that he couldn't bear to look at it... He couldn't help but shook his head and murmured: "I can't believe it, I can't believe it. Look at this family, how beautiful it is."
Harmonious and amiable, how could Brother Donkey have an affair? It’s unbelievable..."
Fairy Toad Palace stretched out her paw and waved it in front of Zhao Ran's eyes: "Little Taoist priest is tempted? Don't think too much, help our Junshan lineage to stand up and support us. If you win this time, I will help you find some beautiful women."
Demon, I also want you to hold the baby as soon as possible."
Banshee? Looking at the donkey lady who was lovingly looking at the old donkey in the distance, and then looking at the donkey’s face, Zhao Ran felt excited all over, shook his head hurriedly, and sternly refused: "Ignorant men are not close to women, fairies are not allowed to do so.
Talk nonsense!"
Fairy Toad Palace said: "It's up to you, little Taoist. Anyway, the appointment is in three days, so be prepared."
