Zhao Ran was looking through this year's autumn harvest in the abbot's study. With the participation of the three departments, the results were quite fruitful. A total of 29,000 shi of highland barley, 36,000 shi of millet, and 3,800 dairy cows were harvested.
, there are more than 188,900 sheep, and more than 800 horses.
He planned to form a cavalry team of 200 people with Baozhong as the leader, which would reduce the pressure on the training and mobilization of Baojia and self-defense in each village.
After reading the submitted documents, he opened a new official document and immediately frowned. An official document was forwarded from the Governor's Office of Western Sichuan, and in response to the transfer order from the Sichuan Chief Envoy, the chef of Baimayuan was transferred from Songfan to another appointment.
Lei Shan's transfer order was issued by the Chief Envoy of Sichuan. He went to Xuzhou and was appointed as the general judge of the seventh rank. As the chef of Baima Court, Lei Shan was transferred to the general judge of Xuzhou. The seventh rank was moved to the seventh rank, which was equal to Ping.
But after going to Xuzhou, this is a state-level platform. Even if Hongyuan is considered a semi-state county, it is still a county after all.
What's more, Xuzhou is in the middle of Sichuan and is much richer than frontier places like Songfan. Zhao Ran estimated that Lei Shan might be willing to go.
Generally speaking, Lei Shan's transfer is certainly a good thing, and Zhao Ran's prestige will be improved. After all, everyone has worked hard under Zhao Ran for three years. Although the word "dedication" is spoken loudly,
But as the leader of the White Horse Courtyard, Zhao Ran is really unqualified if he really wants to use the word "dedication" to fool people.
It was Luo Dianzao before, and now it is Lei Duchu. One has been promoted, and the other has been reused. These are both good ways out. This is a reward for his subordinates. This shows that there is a future for Zhao Ran.
It is bright. Without this reward, who will work for you sincerely?
But the problem is that these two rewards were not in Zhao Ran's plan and were not his original intention, which made Zhao Ran quite passive. Zhao Ran's original plan was to arrange for both Luo Dianzao and Lei Duchu to be promoted within the Songfan system.
They were all important talent reserves for him to completely control Song Fan in the future, but now they were all transferred away from Song Fan, which really made him feel very awkward.
But he couldn't stop it yet. Based on his relationship with Du Tenghui of Tianhe Palace and Xia Ji, the Governor-General of Western Sichuan, he thought it might not be difficult to stop the transfer, but to prevent people from leaving Songfan, they had to find corresponding positions, otherwise
It is tantamount to enmity with one's subordinates, which is something a wise man will not do.
Can Zhao Ran find a position for Lei Shan in Songfan now? For example, the eight deacons of Tianhe Palace? For example, the secretary, chief secretary, general judge of the Western Sichuan Governor's Mansion? Obviously not. Since he can't, he can't speak.
To retain.
Looking at this transfer order, Zhao Ran had a headache. He began to figure out, after Lei Shan left, who would be next?
While he was thinking about it, a bit of white light flashed across his eyes. Zhao Ran caught it with his hand and couldn't help but feel a little strange. Four monks? Are they still inquiring about his whereabouts?
Zhao Ran was about to go to the Hongyuan garrison and decided to stop by to test the purpose of these four people. He put Lei Shan's affairs aside for the time being and ordered: "Get ready to drive and go to the Moon Crossing."
After getting on the carriage, two square hall inspectors drove the carriage, and a large group of people walked out from the main gate and walked along the main street to the west gate. When passing by Shen Caizhu's restaurant, Zhao Ran looked through the curtain of the carriage to the second floor
I took a few glances, but I could only see the silhouettes of two shoulders, and couldn't tell what these people looked like.
After leaving the west gate, Zhao Ran received the flying talisman from the butcher: "They got off the restaurant and also went to the west gate. Brother Shen and I followed them."
Zhao Ran quickly stopped him: "Brother Yide, don't follow me. I have a spirit demon guard here. If you follow me, I'm afraid of disturbing the situation."
Alarming the snake is one thing, but the key is that Zhao Ran can't figure out the details of these four people. If the cultivation level is advanced, with the cultivation level of the butcher and Rich Shen Huang Guan, following behind is just delivering food. Not only does it have no effect in fighting,
Zhao Ran also took good care of him.
The Butcher and Rich Shen also understood the key. They followed them to the city gate and stopped. Fei Fu said: "Then you should be careful and tell us if you need anything."
After Zhao Ran left the west gate, he asked Taoist Nangui to fly above his head. If the other party had advanced cultivation, he could escape on the spot by flying geese if the situation went bad.
But the other party showed no signs of speeding up to catch up, so Zhao Ranan was driving in the car and just urged to move forward. Half an hour later, he saw the garrison barracks in the distance. Zhao Ran ordered the car to stop, and Taoist Nangui stopped and stopped.
On Zhao Ran's shoulder: "These four guys are following seven or eight miles away. I don't know who they are. Looking at their body skills, their cultivation should not be weak."
"Huang Guan or Golden Pill? Or Archmage? Refiner?"
"I can't tell."
"Where is Fellow Taoist Shen Jiangzi?"
"It's in the southwest. If I call from the sky, he will be there in a moment. What, do you need to summon the fairies?"
"Don't worry, we are very close to the army camp here. Let's just wait."
If these people have evil intentions, they should catch up and meet each other at this time. If they have evil intentions in their hearts, they will not dare to approach the camp.
After waiting for a while, Zhao Ran did not need to report back from Taoist Nangui. Zhao Ran noticed through the sedan curtain that several figures in the distance stopped about three miles away. He must have seen the military camp and his own carriage, so he stopped moving forward and instead lowered his head.
He turned around and hid in the grass behind the gentle slope.
Zhao Ran looked intently, but because they were too far away, he really couldn't tell who was following him. Although he didn't know the specific intention of the other party, his sneaky look could almost tell that he was an enemy rather than a friend.
.
He immediately thought of the man in gray who was suspected of being Jing Zhiwu in the party member Aqi's yurt last year and was about to assassinate him. So far, there is still no evidence in Dongji Pavilion and Sanqing Pavilion to confirm that the man in gray is Jing Zhiwu.
In the "census" like looking for a needle in a haystack, it was not finally determined which of the missing monks the ashes in the stone belonged to. In the case report given to him by Dongfang Li last month, the scope had been reduced from the original 238 people.
Seventy-eight people, the two pavilions are still investigating one by one.
But as soon as the idea came up, Zhao Ran felt that the possibility was not very high. Compared with the way the men in gray acted, these four guys were too amateurish and did not look like people on the road.
After pondering for a while, he deduced that the cultivation level of the four people should not be higher than that of the trainer. The trainer cannot do such a thing of hiding in the grass - it is really a bit cheap. If it is really a high-level trainer, it will not be possible.
If you follow me in such a sneaky way, they will catch up and stop you when you leave Hongyuan.
With a rough judgment in mind, Zhao Ran began to think about countermeasures. At first, he planned to fly talismans close to Pei Zhongze. Pei Zhongze was stationed at the Hongyuan garrison with a dozen monks, including four golden elixirs, and a group of powerful flying talismans.
Talismans and magic weapons are more than enough to take down these four guys.
But after thinking for a moment, he gave up the idea and wanted to take another look at what these four guys wanted to do.
