    In order to enter the path of spiritual practice as soon as possible, Zhao Ran no longer cares about the quality of his job.  It doesn't matter if he can't be a guest, or if his guests are "booked" in advance. He would rather give up his noble position as the quiet master of the sutra hall just to seek promotion.  But even so, judging from his experience in the Wuji Academy for two and a half years, it is really too shocking.

    After four months, he was transferred to the dining room from the private room, and he was directly promoted to the ultimatum in another four months. After one and a half years, he was promoted from the Taoist boy of the Jingtang Hall to the Master of Jing. Now the position of the Master of Jing is not yet hot, and he will be promoted to the Eight Deacons. This makes the supervisor  Song Zhiyuan had a headache.  The adjustment of a job involves all aspects. Controlling power through balance is the only way for the superior to consolidate his position. Zhao Ran's request will obviously break this balance. Now Wujiyuan already has "Zhao Ran is Song Zhiyuan"  There were rumors of "godson", and if Song Zhiyuan really wanted to continue to promote Zhao Ran, Song Zhiyuan really didn't know how to face the Taoist priests in the courtyard.

    Looking at Zhao Ran¡¯s leaving figure, Song Zhiyuan couldn¡¯t help but smile bitterly, who said Zhao Ran was my godson, Song?  He's my godfather, so much the same!

    After Zhao Ran left Song Zhiyuan's prison residence, he returned to his quiet main bedroom. He first walked around the three rooms of the bedroom, living room, and study, and wiped his fingers on the table, doors and windows.  Everywhere is clean and free of dirt and dust. It is obvious that someone sweeps it frequently, and he nods with satisfaction.  Although I have been away for more than three months, it seems that my popularity is still there.

    As soon as the door to his room opened, a well-informed Taoist boy from the Sutra Hall came to see him. Zhao Ran dealt with it casually for a moment, then invited a Taoist boy to call Guan Er to meet him.

    Guan Er was returning from a "mountain patrol" and hadn't had much rest. He heard that Zhao Ran was back and wanted to see him, so he didn't dare to delay and rushed over in a hurry.

    As soon as he saw Zhao Ran, Guan Erna bowed his head and said, "Master Jing, you are finally back!"

    Zhao Ran is not yet Guan Er Da, so it is a bit funny to be called "old man" now. Of course, this kind of title sounds very useful, Zhao Ran did not refuse, helped Guan Er and said: "Brother Guan Er, last time  I told you when I left the mountain that you don¡¯t need to pay such a courtesy to me. If you do this again, don¡¯t blame me for falling out!"

    Seeing that Zhao Ran had not finished the book, Guan Er willingly accepted the "rebuke". He felt warm all over and didn't know what to say, so he sat down under Zhao Ran.

    Zhao Ran wants to be the leader of the party, so he naturally first inquires about the current situation of the party hall.  Guan Er was transferred to Fangtang about half a month after Zhao Ran left the mountain. He has been working in Fangtang for more than two months and is almost familiar with the situation. He will describe the situation now.  Jia Zhisun is forty-seven years old and has been working as the party leader for thirteen years. He is planning to get a room number to welcome guests.  The house in charge of the Taoist courtyard property, including the forest farm and various shops, has a lot of money. Jia Zhisun obviously wants to work as a receptionist for a few years and then go down to the mountain to retire, so Zhao Ran does not intend to compete with him for this position.  Blocking someone's path to wealth is like killing one's parents. Zhao Ran's intention is not money, so he doesn't want to be like Jia Zhisun.

    Under the head of the Fangtang, there are two people in charge, the head of the hall and the head of the hall, as usual. Among them, the head of the hall, Mo, has taken a ride on Zhao Ran and went to the warehouse to serve as the head of the warehouse in June. Not only is the work easier,  It is protected from wind and rain, and the income is several times higher than before.  Therefore, today's fangtang only has one steward, and the position of head of the hall is still vacant.

    After Jia Zhixun was transferred to Yingbin, there were many people who wanted to be promoted to the position of Fangzhu, but the most promising one was Hall Master Jiang.

    After having a general understanding of Fang Tang¡¯s situation, Zhao Ran had a good idea. He asked Guan Er to come over, and of course there was another matter.

    "Brother Guan, when I left the mountain, I asked my second brother to help take care of my uncle and aunt in Zhao Village. I wonder how they are doing now?"

    "Jingzhu is relieved. I have ordered the brothers in the escort agency to take out the two thousand silver coins left by Jingzhu, build a big house for Uncle Zhao, and buy 120 acres of paddy field for him. The remaining  All the money was transferred to Uncle Zhao. But it is Shiquan County after all, which is a bit far away, so it is not easy to take care of it, and buying the land is not smooth. Originally, I wanted to ask them to move to Long'an Mansion, but Uncle Zhao's hometown  It¡¯s hard to leave, so I have to make do with it.¡±

    Zhao Ran nodded and said: "Second brother Laoguan is here."

    Guan Er hurriedly said: "It's not just me who is doing the work. Jin Jiu has contributed a lot. If his family hadn't come forward, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to purchase these 120 acres of paddy fields. By the way, Jin Jiu found out that the fourth uncle in Zhaojiazhuang once said  Your old man was once rude and gave you a slight punishment. These paddy fields were purchased from his family, and they were only worth one tael of silver per acre. Originally, according to my opinion, this punishment was too light, but Jin Jiu said where  It has something to do with Guyang County, so it¡¯s hard to do anything for the time being"

    Zhao Ran smiled: "Second brother Guan, let's not mention the past feud. If you think about it carefully, if there was no cause that day, there would be no result today By the way, when I left the mountain that day, I said that the money I left in the escort agency of my second brother,  Half is for Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao, and the other half"

    Guan Er hurriedly said: "Jingzhu, your old man is here today."?The rest will be divided equally among us. I accept this favor with heart, but Lord Jing has great kindness to us. If we divide your money again, wouldn't we be worse than pigs and dogs?  brute?  This is absolutely impossible!  There are more than three thousand one hundred taels of silver left, and the banknotes are all in my room. If Lord Jing wants to use it, I will get it immediately.  "

    Now is the time for Zhao Ran to spend money, so he was not polite and said immediately: "In that case, second brother, please give me the banknote. I have something urgent to use now."

    After Guan Er delivered all the banknotes, Zhao Ran took the banknotes and left, directly going to the "Yueshe" where Sandu lived.  Yueshe is a set of three courtyards, each of which has its own courtyard. The doors open to each other and do not interfere with each other.  The three capitals have a distinguished status. Although they do not care about the secular affairs of the courtyard, major matters must be decided through consultation among the three capitals. Therefore, if Zhao Ran wants to transfer the party leader, he must obtain the consent of one or even two of them.

    Any Taoist priest who sits in a high position in the three capitals will basically have no hope of getting any higher promotion if he is over the age of Buhuo. Therefore, he attaches great importance to money and other external things.  Yuan Duchu, Luo Duguan, and Zhu Doujiao of Wujiyuan all fell into this category, so Zhao Ran had no other good method and decided to spend money to smash them.

    Among the three capitals, the one who cares most about Zhao Ran is Luo Duguan.  Luo Duguan is old and has passed his destiny. Zhao Ran has heard him say many times that in two or three years, he will resign and return to his hometown to take care of himself.

    Seeing Zhao Ran, Luo Duguan chuckled and said, "Nephew Zhao has been away for three months. He seems to have lost a lot of weight, but he has become more stable. Why do you have time to see me, an old man, today?"

    Zhao Ran said respectfully: "I went back to the mountain today and after seeing the prison, I wanted to visit you first. You have taken good care of me in the past. If you don't come to visit me, I won't be able to sleep well tonight."  "

    Luo Duguan smiled and introduced Zhao Ran into the house. They chatted for a while and asked about Zhao Ran's situation after leaving the mountain. Zhao Ran told a few interesting things and made him laugh several times.  Zhao Ran didn't waste much time because Luo Duguan was old and not in good health, so he couldn't hold long conversations.  Immediately, he took a stack of silver notes from his arms and put it on Luo Du's desk, saying: "When I go back to Baima Mountain, I don't have time to prepare any local products for you. I feel very uneasy thinking about it. Besides, I don't know what you would like."  What, this is my fault, nephew, please forgive me. I have to bring you some Atu folk things, I hope you will not refuse."

    Luo Duguan glanced at the banknotes on the table. Five 100-tael bills were piled together. He was very satisfied and said, "You are interested. What, is there something wrong?"

    Zhao Ran chuckled: "It's just a little thought."

    There is something special about giving gifts, and try not to make conditions in person, as this will make the other person feel uneasy, and sometimes even have the opposite effect.  As long as Luo Duguan collects the money, he will naturally help Zhao Ran when something happens, and Zhao Ran doesn't need to say anything more.

    Zhao Ran had good luck today. The three capitals were all in their respective courtyards. Zhao Ran went on to visit Zhu Doujiao and Yuan Duchu, without wasting time at all.

    Zhu Duguan and Zhao Ran have quite a tacit understanding, but the difference between him and Luo Duguan is that he has to find an excuse for everything and never stick to the facts. The same is true for accepting gifts.  He was willing to help Zhao Ran, but Zhao Ran said that he was "reticent in doing things". If one day the two of them fell out, Zhao Ran would evaluate him as "hypocritical".

    Zhao Ran saw that Zhu Du said that the process was equally smooth. Of course, he found a good excuse: Uncle Zhao had built a big house in Zhaojiazhuang and needed someone to help inscribe a plaque.  Zhu Dou said without hesitation, he immediately gave the calligraphy treasure, and Zhao Ranshun smoothly presented the "moistening brush". Everything was quite natural.

    He only suffered a defeat at Yuan Duchu's place, and received a lecture from Yuan Duchu, "Don't be too ambitious in life." Zhao Ran bowed his back and accepted Yuan Duchu's advice, and then bought medicinal materials for nourishing the mind and body for Yuan Duchu.  In the name of my name, I gave you a banknote.  Yuan Duchu refused, and Zhao Ran had no choice but to throw down the banknote and run away. Yuan Duchu had no choice but to accept it "reluctantly" with a sigh.

    With all three done, Zhao Ran breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thanked the world. If it were in the world before he traveled, how could giving gifts be so simple?  It was already dark when he returned to his room. Lying in bed, he began to think about the list of people he should visit the next day.
