After the Lantern Festival, the staff of the Baimayuan government returned to work. Yuan Hao finally found time this time and prepared to lead a team to measure in person.
The land he planned to measure was the cultivated land that Ning Deshou had promised to free up on the river section under the jurisdiction of Hongyuan Guards Station. It was more than thirty miles long and two miles wide.
In Zhao Ran's previous preliminary estimate, the land suitable for farming in this area should be about 6,000 acres, but the specific amount still needs to be evaluated by professionals like Yuan Hao.
The refugees sent by the Governor's Palace in Western Sichuan a few years ago have already arrived and have been uniformly arranged to live in transitional housing outside the city. Although it is said to be "outside the city", on the construction drawings drawn by Zhao Ran himself, it should actually be outside the "first ring".
There are more than 300 people in this group of refugees, 100 more than before. This is the result of Zhao Ran running away from the Governor's Mansion twice. In order to win more people in the future, Zhao Ran wrote a letter of guarantee in front of Governor Xia, guaranteeing
Before the spring plowing this year, all the displaced persons will be allocated fields.
This is also the reason why Yuan Hao went to the river to measure the fields as soon as the Lantern Festival was over. This would be the first batch of land to be allocated for farming.
At present, these refugees have moved into transitional housing. Together with other residents, they are continuing to build new transitional housing along the "Ring of the City Wall". When the weather gets slightly warmer, they will set off to the river to accept Zhao Ran's instructions.
Divide the land. Of course, Zhao Ran does not actually plan to divide the land. His plan is to implement policy land sales and sell these lands at very low prices.
Because the party leader was executed, many party members in Hongyuan City also rushed to the construction site to exchange labor for food rations. This labor force has reached 1,500 people. For this reason, Baima Court consumes about ten shi of food every day.
It is decreasing rapidly. The warehouse Taoist priest who manages the Changping warehouse has sent multiple warnings to Zhao Ran. While the grain storage is decreasing, the turnover rooms outside the city are expanding at a rapid rate.
The government staff in the White Horse Courtyard resumed their work, and it was now the turn of the Taoist priests to rest. Although Zhao Ran was extremely reluctant, he also knew the principle of relaxing, so he reluctantly let go and announced that these Taoist priests would be given a half-bath.
months.
Zhao Ran thought to himself and planned to go to Tianhe Palace again to try to add more ultimatum Taoist priests and fire workers to the White Horse Courtyard.
While he was thinking about it, he received the flying talisman from Master Sun Biyun. The seven masters and disciples of the Great Sage Nanyan Palace once again took the cloud ladder back to Junshan. Zhao Ran was secretly ashamed of Master Sun's dedication and dedication. He had already come back to catch up on work.
, the guys from his own school were still enjoying themselves in Fujian, and when he compared the two, he couldn't help but feel a burning sensation on his face, and he felt extremely ashamed.
While Zhao Ran was ashamed for his master, his own butt was also not clean. Before returning to Wudang for the New Year, Master Sun told him two things, but he only completed one, which was to replace Patriarch Long Yang's Xinyun Xiantai.
He had almost forgotten about the site selection and the second thing, finding people who could carve beams and columns for the various buildings in the cave.
It is not easy to find such talents. First of all, they must be professional counterparts. Needless to say, secondly, they must be monks. The first two floors of the Maharaja Cave are just fine. Ordinary people can stay there after they adapt, but the back mountain is not a monk.
It is inaccessible, and it is best to be a monk at the level of Huang Guan or above, otherwise you will not even be able to get close to the main peak of the inner mountain on the third level of the cave - the spiritual energy there is too strong.
On the way back to Dajun Mountain, Zhao Ran quickly made up for his negligence. First, he flew a talisman to the teacher and asked him to find a way to find someone. The document was also sent to Pei Zhongze of Qingyun Hall and asked him if there was anyone there.
Recommended candidates.
The second step was to draft a recruitment document and send it to Long Qingwei, a non-commercial cultivator in Yangcao Mountain, and ask him to publish it among the non-commercial cultivators in Long'an Prefecture to see if there are any suitable non-commercial cultivators to sign up.
When we were on the road, the teacher sent out a talisman to reply. The recommended candidates were beyond Zhao Ran's expectation. They were actually two uncles from the Zhuo family in Huayun Pavilion. According to the teacher, it was Zhuo who painted and sculpted the beams and pillars.
It is a craft of the family, and it is precisely because of this skill that the Zhuo family has been able to stand in the Huayun Pavilion for a hundred years.
Zhao Ran breathed a sigh of relief now, and was finally able to make an explanation when facing Master Sun.
Just after arriving at Dajun Mountain, I received another reply from Pei Zhongze. There was indeed someone in Qingyun Hall who was good at carving beams and paintings, but it was Zhang, an in-law of the Pei family.
The head of the Zhang family is Zhang Wenyue, an elder of the Qingyun Hall. When Zhao Ran went to the Qingyun Hall to have his bones set, he got to know Elder Zhang very well. At that time, Zhang Wenyue liked Zhao Ran very much and planned to marry a grandniece of the Zhang family.
It was given to Zhao Ran, but it was a pity that Zhao Ran politely declined.
There was no other reason. The grand-niece of the Zhang family was a secular person with no talent for spiritual practice. At that time, Zhao Ran was determined to enter spiritual practice, so how could he marry a mortal as his wife?
However, although Zhao Ran declined the marriage, Zhang Wenyue had always been kind to him. If the Zhang family sent people to build the Dajun Mountain Cave Heaven, Zhao Ran would also welcome him.
Sun Biyun, the real person, was standing next to the mouth of the Xunlei Xiantian True Fire Stone, staring intently at the Yunxian Platform on the flames for sacrifice, and asked Zhao Ran: "Has Patriarch Longyang decided on the location of the Yunxian Platform?"
Zhao Ran replied respectfully: "I have already chosen it, and it is in the small world of the main peak." In fact, Patriarch Longyang did not choose at all. When Zhao Ran paid New Year's greetings to Patriarch Longyang in Yuhuang Pavilion a few days ago, Patriarch Longyang just said
"It's casual" and didn't ask about it again.
Patriarch Long Yang said "at will", so Zhao Ran could only choose the location in the small world of the main peak with the richest aura. Do you really want to be "at will" - can this be done at will?
Sun Zhenren performed a few more tricks, observed the sacrificial situation at Xinyun Xiantai for a moment, and then pulled Zhao Ran: "Come on, show me."
Climb the main peak and step into the small world. Part of it has been occupied by Jiang Tenghe, and you can view the world from the evolution building. Zhao Ran took Sun Zhenren through from another direction, and in the competition of ten thousand peaks, they came to the top of a huge rock.
, this pinnacle is like a lotus flower in full bloom, covering the peak area of more than ten feet, and the view is excellent.
Sun Zhenren took out his ruler, glanced left and right, made repeated calculations, and then cast spells on several load-bearing boulders, recorded all the data, said "go", and left the small world with Zhao Ran.
When he returned, he asked Zhao Ran: "Have you found the person who carved the beams and painted pillars?"
Zhao Ran thought it was a good thing, and hurriedly replied: "I found them, they are the two uncles from the Zhuo family of Huayun Hall and a member of the Zhang family of Qingyun Hall." He briefly introduced the details of both sides.
After listening to this, Zhenren Sun pondered for a moment and said: "If you just make do with it, that's fine. If you want it to be exquisite and pass down for thousands of years, I can recommend another one to you."
"What you always recommend must be good."
"Yang Family in Taifu Mountain, Huguang."
"Mr. Yang? Not from the pavilion?"
"Yes, he is not from the Taoist Pavilion, but the Yang family who has lived in Taifu Mountain for many years. Half of the palaces on Wudang Mountain were painted by the Yang family. In my opinion, his craftsmanship is even better.
It’s not that he is second to none in the world, but he is at least among the top three in our Ming Dynasty.”
