In the entire Baima Courtyard, there were more than 40 Taoist priests who received ultimatums, and there were only nearly a hundred lay Buddhists. Yuan Hao could recruit very few candidates. He boasted that he would complete the measurement and registration of the county's cultivated land and pastures within two months.
The task was obviously extremely arduous. Zhao Ran could not dampen his enthusiasm and could only help from the side.
"Are there enough manpower? How many people can be mobilized?"
"I asked Dian to allocate manpower to the building, accounting room, and warehouse, and even to the fire workers, there will be about ten or so, maybe a few less. But don't worry, abbot, Lei Shan and I will go into battle together. Even if we don't sleep at night, we have to do it as soon as possible."
Put this matter into practice!”
"I'll go back to Li Zhike and Inspector Zuo and ask them to assign twenty people to you in the living room and patrol room."
"That would be even better! There are few people in Hongyuan and the terrain is not complicated. It is very easy to measure. Two months is enough!"
"Then I wish you success as soon as possible!"
Yuan Hao thought for a while and then said: "Abbott, I have heard about your actions in Guyang County. You are especially famous for building roads. It is really an amazing achievement. I hope the abbot can issue an official document.
Give it to me and let me be responsible for surveying the Hongyuan land and selecting the site for the construction of official roads."
Zhao Ran was very satisfied and praised: "Old Yuan is thoughtful and worthy of being the famous think tank of the Governor's Yamen in Western Sichuan."
"A little trick made the abbot laugh."
After coming out of the abbot's room, Yuan Hao felt a little dizzy and walked back, carefully thinking about every word Abbot Zhao said today. When he arrived at the prison, he saw Lei Shan, the chef, had been waiting outside the door for a long time.
Lei Shan came over and asked in a low voice: "What's going on in the prison?"
Yuan Hao rubbed his forehead and sighed: "It's not simple, it's not simple!"
When the two of them entered the prison cell, Yuan Hao told them about the measurement of the land and the transfer of guests.
Lei Shan clenched his fists and said: "Finally there is a new atmosphere! I just wish that the land of the party members could not be confiscated. Abbot Zhao is still worried."
Yuan Hao said: "Abbot Zhao said that there was no problem in collecting the fields back then, but now that the time has passed, we can't do it so forcefully. What he said is reasonable."
Lei Shan sighed: "I just hope there won't be another Abbot Zeng. Abbot Zeng was not as ambitious as when he came here..."
Yuan Hao said: "This Abbot Zhao had an excellent reputation when he was in charge of Gu Yang."
Lei Shan said: "When Abbot Zeng was in Anyue, wasn't he just as famous? What was the result?"
"Observe what he says and what he does, and take it step by step. At least, let us measure the land and register it. This is indeed the first step of good governance."
"Yes. Who is this Guyang County Meng Dengke that Abbot Zhao mentioned?"
"I don't know this person, but since he is from Guyang County, I think Abbot Zhao can use him easily. I will go to the Governor's Mansion in Western Sichuan and transfer him to Long'an Mansion."
At that moment, the two of them divided the work. Yuan Hao went to Songzhou in person to ask Governor Xia for help, while Lei Shan stayed in Baima Courtyard and actively started preparations for "building the official road of Hongyuan".
Zhao Ran issued a warrant, which was the first official document from Baimayuan he issued after taking office, "Building a house with dian, surveying the geographical mountains and rivers, and preparing to build an official road in Hongyuan." The warrant stated that this matter was done with dian
The house is the main one, and each house will work with assistants. Yuan Hao of the supervisory house will preside over it, and the chef Lei Shan will cooperate. The survey must be completed before the end of the first month of next year. After the money and food reserves are sufficient for the coming year, the construction can be started at a selected date.
As soon as the official document came out, the White Horse Courtyard began to operate at high speed. The three things that the new official wanted to do when he took office was that Abbot Zhao wanted to build roads. This was the first thing he wanted to do when he took office. Any complaints or dissatisfaction should be put aside first, at least the three things of Abbot Zhao's.
Let’s put the fire on the other side. At this moment, the yin and yang are acting against the yin and the yang, which means committing a crime against the wind.
Each deacon office has been mentally prepared for a long time. Which ordinary person would dare to neglect? Immediately mobilize manpower to change the procrastination habit developed over the past two years and open the door for Lei Shan to do things more conveniently.
In just two days, more than 40 people, almost half of the Taoist temple, were gathered in Dian Zaofang, waiting for the deployment of Lei Shan, the chef of the capital.
Lei Shan divided his men into five teams. He, Luo Dianzao, Tieku, Long Accountant and Zuo Patrol each led a team. With old officials from the government as the backbone, they divided their areas. Starting from the third day
They left the city separately to "survey the geographical mountains and rivers", and the action was very fast and efficient.
This is the characteristic of the special system of Baima Yuan. With one order, it can be carried out vigorously and resolutely, eliminating the hassle of transferring official documents between the Taoist Yuan and the government. Even Guyang County, where Zhao Ran is in charge, cannot do it so easily.
Clearly.
Most people don't dare to "commit a crime against the wind", but some people do. Nie Dujiao and Fan Gaogong saw that this matter was a big deal, so they came together to find out the details.
Zhao Ran ushered them into the official room with a smile and asked, "What are you two doing here?"
Nie Du said: "I heard that the abbot planned to build an official road, so I came here to find out what happened."
Fan Gaogong also said: "Yes, does the abbot really intend to build official roads?"
Zhao Ran said: "I went to the countryside for an inspection last month and found that there is no official road in the vast Hongyuan. It is extremely inconvenient for merchants and travelers to come and go. Moreover, it is difficult to communicate with the three military garrison locations of Songfan Weiqiewa Valley, Yueliangdu and Anqu.
It’s also very unsmooth. The money and supplies allocated from the governor’s Yamen grain depot do not use our Hongyuan City as a transit point, just because of the inconvenience of transportation. So I came up with this idea. I wonder if you two can give me some advice?”
Nie Du advised: "The abbot is new to Hongyuan. We also know that the abbot wants to achieve something, so this matter is excusable. Building official roads is also a good thing for local good governance, but with the money and food accumulated in Baimayuan now,
I'm afraid it will be difficult to support it. I also ask the abbot to be considerate of the people's sentiments. At present, the main purpose is to recuperate and recuperate, and no large-scale construction projects are allowed!"
Fan Gaogong interjected: "What's more, the city walls and residential buildings are still being built, and Baima Courtyard really can't afford any more major construction!"
Zhao Ran said displeasedly: "I just want to do something, why do you two block it? It's precisely because I, Hongyuan, are poor and don't have enough money and food, so I have to bite the bullet and build official roads. The so-called wealth is prosperous.
If there is no connection between the three rivers, how can we talk about prosperous financial resources?"
Fan Gaogong was very happy: "Abbott, I'm afraid that's not how you explain it, right?"
Zhao Ran said: "In short, based on my experience in Guyang, it is difficult to get rich without building roads."
Nie Du said sternly: "The Qin Dynasty repaired the Qin Road, built the Great Wall, and built Afang, which caused the people of the world to boil with resentment. This is a lesson from ancient times! When the three capitals decide on such a thing that wastes people and hurts money, I will definitely oppose it! Abbot, please think twice.
!”
Zhao Ran frowned and said nothing. After a long time, Fang said: "In that case, let's finish the survey first. After we have enough money and food in the future, we can always repair it, right?"
Nie Du said: "When there is enough money and food, it can be repaired. When the time comes, I will support the abbot in building the road."
Zhao Ran said: "Forget it, I'll just listen to your advice and just survey and don't start construction. Is that okay?"
Nie Dudao and Fan Gaogong said in unison: "The abbot is as humble as a grain of salt and has the grace to accept advice. It is a blessing to the White Horse Court! In this way, we can go to Fanzhou with peace of mind."
Zhao Ran asked: "The Dharma Assembly at Feilongyuan is the day after tomorrow, right? When are you leaving? I'll see you off."
"I'll set off in the afternoon. There are so many places for such trivial matters, why does the abbot need to move here?"
"Then I wish you both a boost in the prestige of our White Horse Courtyard at the Taoist Dharma Conference."
"Thank you, abbot!"
