Du Teng would hold a small pot and pour the newly boiled water into the teacup, then pour out the tea, wait for the second time, and then pour the tea into the teacup: "Try it, the tea I just got is heavy snow."
What grows on the mountain is said to be called Snow Mountain Cloud Tea."
"Are the leaves of this tea white? It really deserves the name Snow Mountain Yunwu Tea...the taste...is just average."
In the entire Shifang Jungle of Song Fan, including even the Governor's Mansion in Western Sichuan, Zhao Ran is the only one who can talk to Du Teng so casually. In addition to his dual identity as Lou Guanmen in charge of Song Fan and Dao Men Xing,
The most important thing is that after the two experienced the Ye Xueguan Conference and the Lushan Inspection Case, their relationship has been tightly bound together by something inexplicable.
Du Tenghui didn't feel dissatisfied and laughed: "I think so too. It's more than average. It doesn't taste like tea at all. The name is just a bluff. It's just a taste."
"How come the prison is free to conduct tea ceremonies? I think your technique just now was very skillful."
"It's okay, okay. As I get older, I have to look away from some things. Life is not easy. In your old age, can't you still have some personal interests?"
"Jian Yuan, what you said is a shame. Why are you in old age? Jian Yuan, you are only over fifty, and you still have a bright future. I dare not say anything else. As long as I, Zhao Zhiran, am here, I will protect you from any minor illness or disaster.
I’m sorry, even if it’s a serious chest disease like Liu Jianyuan’s in Chongqing Mansion, I’ve cured it for you! Look, isn’t Liu Jianyuan healthy and active now? The cultivation methods of my Taoist sect are still very good.”
"Haha, with your words, I feel more at ease. It's been a month since you went to Baima Courtyard. How do you feel?"
Zhao Ran said: "It's complicated. It's more complicated than I thought. I originally thought that the problem with the White Horse Court was a problem with the White Horse Tribunal. Now it seems that the Party members are also a big problem that cannot be circumvented."
Du Teng would nod: "Zeng Zhili has been miserable in Baima Courtyard for three years. Why do you think it is? Most of it was caused by party members."
"Supervisory Yuan, my next step is to solve the problem of party members, but the strategy I implement is definitely different from Zeng Zhili. His method... I really don't agree with it."
"His methods come from the ideas he holds. The ideas he holds are very influential in my Taoist sect and even in the Ming Dynasty. You must be careful about this and don't give people the truth. Otherwise, there will be resistance when people talk about things.
Very big. Although you have a solid foundation and a solid background, and you are a monk in the palace, politics is different from spiritual practice after all, so you must not be too big."
"I understand the Supervisory Academy. When I think about it carefully, the ideas you mentioned are actually just two opinions on how the three Hongyuan departments should be governed during the Ye Xueguan period. Some are radical and some are slow.
Those who strive to cut through the mess with a quick knife naturally have stability as their overriding priority. It’s not about right or wrong, the key lies in the opportunity to use it.”
"That's right. The way to use it is to be single-minded. In short, you have to grasp this degree. I don't care what method you use. I have three requirements during your tenure. The first one is to give me Hongyuan's trust.
Bring it up; second, try to be as self-sufficient as possible, and don’t need Tianhe Palace and the Governor’s Office of Western Sichuan to give you a large amount of subsidies every year; third, don’t cause a big mess, especially a big mess that you can’t clean up, you really have to wait until the top
Send someone to clean it up, and you and I will pack up and leave together."
"Don't worry, the prison hospital won't make trouble for you. However, in the first two years, we still need the strong support of the prison hospital. I came here this time to put down this old face and come to the prison hospital to reach out to you. Prison hospital
Don’t drive me away.”
Du Teng would smile and point at Zhao Ran: "I thought you were here to bring me charcoal as a tribute, but I didn't expect you were here to scrape off the oil and grease. If you don't pay filial piety to your superiors during the New Year, you will instead reward me. You are far worse than Zeng Zhili.
Zeng Zhili takes care of everything that needs to be done every year."
Zhao Ran said hey: "Who made Hongyuan poor? The situation is complicated, especially the two thousand Han people we introduced. Life is miserable. After thinking about it, I can only go to the prison to complain. Bing Jing,
Tan Jing and other things, when the life of the people of Hongyuan gets better, I will definitely have to thank Tianhe Palace vigorously. However, I also know that it is not easy to deal with my colleagues in Tianhe Palace here in the prison, so I plan to wait until spring comes.
After the building of my tower is completed, I invite all our colleagues in the Tianhe Palace to go and have a look at the scenery of the Maharaja Cave, relax and play ball."
Du Teng would high-five and praise: "That's great! Go to the pavilion and broaden your horizons. This is the wish of every Taoist. You have a good idea." After thinking about it, he said: "
Then I will prepare some things for you so that you, Baimayuan, can have a good New Year."
"Then thank you very much to the prison. I wonder what good things the prison is going to give me to Baimayuan?"
Du Teng said: "I heard that you just came out of the Governor's Office in Western Sichuan? What did you plunder from there? Tell me first."
Zhao Ran complimented: "The prison is wise and knows everything very well. Governor Xia was the prefect of Long'an Prefecture back then, so he must be very familiar with the prison. He treats me, Hongyuan, pretty well. He promised to give me a gift during the Chinese New Year this year."
Baimayuan has two hundred stones of rice, three hundred taels of silver, and one hundred and fifty sheep."
Du Teng would nod: "It seems that Governor Xia is very kind to you. Then I will give you another two hundred stones of rice, two hundred taels of silver, and a hundred pieces of cloth."
"Prison Court, how about adding another 500 kilograms of incense and candles and 200 knives of fine paper?"
"Okay, that's no problem. You don't have any fasting rituals to do there, so what's the use of it? Don't waste it."
"It's just for the next step of holding a fasting ceremony. Don't worry, I know the expense involved, and I won't leave it there to breed insects. By the way, I want to ask you for help with something."
"you say."
"Over in Fanzhou, Feilongyuan has held a Taoist and Dharma exchange meeting. Does the Supervising Academy know about it?"
When he heard about this, Du Tenghui laughed: "This is what Yue Tengzhong did. He had nothing to do in Feilongyuan, so he just loved tinkering with this stuff."
I heard that it was Yue Tengzhong who was responsible for it, so Zhao Ran also became interested. Last year, in the Zongguan earthquake, a large number of people were beaten up in the Eighth Deacon Office. Yue Tengzhong, who was the right Dianzhu of the Zongguan Dianzhuyuan, was also beaten.
After falling, he was transferred to Feilongyuan in Fanzhou as abbot.
The abbot Yue Tengzhong cannot be compared with the abbot of Baimayuan. Baimayuan is a special missionary area, and the abbot is a veritable leader. Feilongyuan is only half a level higher, with the same powers as the mainland Taoist temple, and does not belong to the Taoist temple in the mainland.
In the first batch of pilot counties where Guange monks took up the post of Shifang Junglin Taoist priests, the abbot did not participate in the deliberations of the three capitals, so whether he could take power had to compete with the Meng Supervisor Yuan.
So Zhao Ran asked: "How is Yue Tengzhong doing in Fanzhou?"
Du Tenghui laughed, took a sip from the tea cup, and said with a smile: "There is no shortage of food, no shortage of clothing, how can I live a bad life without the suffering of documents?"
