The Shuihe area is just to the west of Ya'an. The straight line is only more than a hundred miles away, but there are dozens of mountains in the middle. It is impossible for ordinary people to pass through. Therefore, a group of fifty or sixty people first went northwest to Diaomen Pass, and then turned along the river valley.
To the southwest, we passed through Zishi Pass, the second pass of the Tianquan Liubo Recruitment Division, before arriving in this poor mountainous area.
Lan Miao Zhu had been waiting for a long time. After seeing Zhao Ran, he grabbed him and refused to let go. Zhao Ran had become accustomed to it these days, so he simply let him go. He was dragged along for two sticks of incense and was ready to climb the mountain.
At that time, Lan Miao Zhucai reluctantly left.
Although Zheng Jianyuan was a man in his fifties, he climbed up the mountain but felt like walking on flat ground. When he arrived at the Shuihe Temple in the mountain, his face was still red and his heart was not beating. Zhao Ran could only nod his head - this was all he could tell.
This Zheng Supervisor is a practical person.
The Shuihe Temple is entirely made of bamboo and wood, and many of the beams and columns have signs of decay, which makes it look sad. The villages in the mountains near the Shuihe Temple are even more miserable. When Zhao Ran passed by, he saw that many families lived in
They were all underground dens, and the only household items inside were clay pots placed on the fire. Zhao Ran couldn't help but feel pity for them.
Entering the Shuihe Temple, because there was not enough light, Lan Miaozhu took matters into his own hands, built a bonfire, and threw some pine cones into the bonfire. After a while, he picked them out with wooden branches, and the fragrance overflowed. Everyone peeled the pine nuts and ate them.
While chatting, it was quite interesting in the countryside.
Zhao Ran looked at Song Xiong who looked a little haggard beside him, and asked in a low voice: "How is it? Can you still bear it?"
Song Xiong shook his head and sighed: "I've been vomiting bile these days. The skills you always taught me are almost in ruins..."
Zhao Ran smiled: "It doesn't matter, it will be fine as soon as these few days pass. But we must not relax here."
Song Xiong nodded: "Yes, I understand. It doesn't look like there is alcohol in this place. Let's start practicing again tonight..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Lan Miao congratulate him: "There is nothing to entertain tonight, just some earthy flavors from the mountains. The food is not good, so please forgive Abbot Zhao, but please rest assured, Abbot, the wine in our Shuihe Village is definitely strong enough."
!The enthusiasm of our people in Shuihe Village will definitely stand the test!”
Song Xiong suddenly turned pale.
Needless to say, I drank countless people that night. From the time Zhao Ran arrived in Ya'an, he drank for eight days in a row, and this was when we officially started talking.
Lan Miao Zhu took Zhao Ran through several nearby mountains and forests. Zhao Ran opened his eyes to explore the qi of heaven and earth, and finally chose a valley where three mountains meet. This area has mountains and valleys, and there are about a thousand acres of land suitable for development.
It is a medicinal field, and if it is fully developed, it can fully meet the demand for medicinal materials from Huiminji Medical Hall and Junshan Pharmaceutical.
Once the site has been decided, it's time to get started. If you want to develop the medicinal fields, you must follow a two-out-of-three method to clear out the dense woods and shrubs. To clear up the woods and shrubs, the people of Shuihe Village must be recruited to work.
When people in Shuihe Village go to work, it is useless to just get money. They must buy a large amount of food and tools. If they want to transport food and tools into the Shuihe mountainous area, they need to build a mountain road that can pass horse-drawn carriages. Therefore, the entire project starts with road construction.
started.
The total length of this mountain road is about thirty miles, and it connects to Zishiguan. If you want to count on the people in the mountain to build the road, I'm afraid they won't be able to do it in five or ten years. Zhao Ran definitely can't wait that long, so he has to wait.
Roll up your sleeves and do it yourself!
There were about seventy difficult places in the construction of the entire mountain road, and Zhao Ran couldn't finish it by himself. He simply gave Brother Luo a talisman and asked him to go to Junshan and bring Master Wuse, Baishanjun and Nan
The returnees rushed over.
The three flying guys arrived at Shuihe Temple the next night. Together with Zhao Ran and Lao Lu, they fought hard for ten days and overcame all the more than 70 steep and difficult points. The rest of the work was easier.
Lan Miao Zhu mobilized hundreds of mountain residents in the Shuihe area to begin excavation and leveling of mountain roads.
In order to transport food to these mountain people, Zhao Ran once again came up with the idea of Baihe. After repeated persuasion, Baishangjun finally agreed to take Zhao Ran back and forth again. At the same time, he also pulled in the Taoist Nangui to relieve himself.
The burden that Zhao Ran offered to the Nangui Taoists was that after the Shuihe Village project was completed, the Nangui Taoists would be exempted from the remaining period of voluntary labor in Taihua Mountain.
So in Ya'an at the end of February, such a spectacle often appeared in the sky: a white crane and a wild goose flew quickly across the mountains. The white crane carried a Taoist priest on its back, and the wild goose had a huge sack hanging from its neck. Between the white crane and the wild goose,
Below the wild geese, a colorful golden pheasant kept jumping and gliding between the mountain tops, desperately chasing the white cranes and wild geese flying above. The golden pheasant also had a huge sack hanging from its neck...
Zhao Ran shuttled back and forth between Ya'an and Shuihe dozens of times, using three storage instruments and two sacks, Zhao Ran successfully completed the huge project of transporting thousands of stones of grain in seven days, which provided a strong guarantee for the opening of the mountain road.
Zhao Ran spent hundreds of taels of silver just after the project started, but he didn't feel bad at all because he had already felt the power of merit provided by the mountain people from the Shuihe area.
There are more than 2,000 mountain residents in the Shuihe area. Once the roads are built and the medicinal fields are cultivated, this will be another source of merit!
With Zhao Ran, the immortal master, directly assisting them with Taoism, the mountain residents of Shuihe Village suddenly became extremely confident in their future life, became enthusiastic and drove the mountain road full of energy.
The Zheng Supervisory Academy in Lizhou and the Lu Supervisory Academy in Ya'an have both gone back to their respective places. It is definitely impossible for Zhao Ran to stay in Shuihe forever. The construction of the mountain road is expected to take at least three months, and it is impossible for him to stay in Shuihe for that long.
The reason why Zhao Ran brought Song Xiong was to let him handle this matter, so he kept him, gave him two thousand silver, and asked him to take care of the rest of the affairs. At the same time, Zhao Ranfei Fu Xiaojunshan Guo Zhiwei
The Master asked him to select medicinal seeds and seedlings. When he was ready, he rushed to Shuihe and started preparing for the cultivation of medicinal fields.
After driving away the three big birds, Zhao Ran rode an old donkey from Shuihe to Diaomen Pass. He planned to say goodbye to Cheng Zhicheng and then return to Guyang. This trip to Lizhou took a lot of time to drink.
, it has exceeded the one month planned when we set off, and it is time to go back.
When passing through Zishi Pass, he saw that the city was closed and the walls were filled with sergeants, showing a state of strict alert. Zhao Ran felt slightly curious and wondered if the Tubo people had invaded the country.
He did not enter Zishiguan, but went around the mountain and continued on. When he arrived at the Diaomen Pass, he saw that the security here was even tighter. Sentries were set up at many key locations not only above the Guancheng but also below the Guancheng.
Zhao Ran came here a while ago and was warmly received by the high-ranking commander. Many sergeants were familiar with his appearance. The sergeants quickly informed him that he did not have to wait long at the gate before being connected to the block gate.
