    Not long after Li Yicheng, who suddenly got Zhao Ran's ten taels of silver, was happy, he saw that the generous Zhao Fangzhu didn't seem to be in a good mood. He frowned and didn't know what he was thinking, so he became uneasy.

    I saw Zhao Ran pondering for a long time, and suddenly said: "Li Yicheng, you are in charge of the imperial government. It is difficult for me to get involved in matters of money and food, but I have some things I want to ask you."

    "Master Fang, please tell me, but if you know something, I will never hide it."

    "First, how many passers-by do you see on your official road every day? Second, how many of them are in dire straits? Third, how many of them will take the initiative to come and ask for help?"

    Li Yicheng cannot give definite answers to these questions. No one would just play with a few people on the roadside all day long, but he still has a general impression.

    After listening to Li Yichen's answer, Zhao Ran nodded and said, "In this case, I have something to ask for, and I hope Li Cheng can help me."

    "Even if the master gives orders, there is no way to ask for help!"

    "Okay. From today on, please Li Cheng hang up a sign outside the Yangma Yiyuan. Just write meet just write 'relief station'. A bucket of water will be placed under the sign for passers-by to drink. Every time  Rili Posthouse cooks porridge, and those who need it can be invited into the posthouse. Each person is given a bowl of porridge, and the mouth of the bowl must not be less than five inches. The bowl can be filled with porridge with chopsticks upright. In case of special circumstances, such as heavy rain,  If there is heavy snow, or if the patient is unable to travel, he or she can stay at the inn for a few days"

    Li Yicheng was dumbfounded when he heard Zhao Ran's explanation, and then he was shocked and interrupted: "Master Fang, this can't be done."

    "Oh?, why can't you do it?"

    "Zhao Fangzhu, I still say the same thing, I have no money."

    "I will give you the money, but I have conditions. Every time you help a person, I want you to write down the person's name, place of origin and current residence. I will send someone to check the accounts every month, and I will select a few people to verify. If there are  If it is false, you should know what the consequences will be! Recipients can eat porridge at most twice a day, and only one bowl is given each time. I am afraid that you will breed a group of lazy people, which violates my establishment  The original intention of the relief station. I just heard you talk about the situation of pedestrians on this official road. I pay you five taels of silver every month, which should be enough. The more is the reward that the poor road gave you to Yangmayi, but there are  One thing, you must not waste all your money. Of these five taels of silver, you must give away at least half every month to pass, otherwise I will reduce your money next month. Do you understand?"

    Hearing that he would get five taels of silver per month, Li Yicheng was immediately overjoyed and agreed. He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Master Fang. Li will definitely help Master Fang do this good deed. Well, it's not as good as this relief."  Just put the name of the Fang Master under the sign of the station."

    Zhao Ran stopped him and said, "No, just sign the name of Wujiyuan." He did not do good deeds for the sake of fame. Fame was of no use to him for the time being. The only thing he cared about was merit.

    After finishing the instructions, Zhao Ran threw another five taels of silver to Li Yicheng and said: "Please tidy up the post station. The tiles that need to be repaired must be repaired. There is always such a leakage."

    After leaving Yangma Post, Zhao Ran asked Guan Er and Lu Jin to lead the way, and rushed to another post station.  There are three post stations in Guyang County, one in the northeast, one in the west, and the other is Yangma Post in the south.  The three post stations are all on the edge of the official road, but Liuzhuang Post in the northeast and Heshan Post in the west are much larger and have much better facilities, because the official road where these two posts are located is very important, and it is where the imperial court enters from Shaanxi.  Sichuan then went to one of the main roads of Songfan Guards.

    The first place Zhao Ran arrived was Heshan Yi. Compared with Yangma Yi, Heshan Yi was completely different. There were four or five courtyards set together, with no fewer than dozens of spacious tile-roofed houses, and people coming and going at the gate.  So lively.

    Guan Er hesitated for a moment and said to Zhao Ran: "Master Fang, if we want to inquire about the traces of monsters, we will not go in. This place is in a strategic location and there are many monks coming and going. If there are monsters, we would have avoided them early."

    Zhao Ran looked at Guan Er's expression and said, "You know I'm not here to catch monsters. If you have anything to say, just tell me!"

    "If the master wants to set up a relief station like Yangmayi, there is no need to look for Heshanyi. Let's go to Lijiacun next door."

    "I understand what you mean. This is the only way to go to Songfan Guards. I think there will be no shortage of money allocated by the court. People may not think highly of my few taels of silver. But this is a place where travelers and business travelers meet.  There are many people who can help. If the relief station is placed in Lijiacun, it won't have much effect Let's go and have a look first. After all, it is a good thing to do good deeds, and the Yi Cheng may not be willing to do so."

    Facts have proved that Guan Er's worries are very reasonable. Zhong Can, the postmaster of Heshanyi, did not show up. The person who received Zhao Ran and his party was Zhongyicheng's secretary.  The clerk's attitude was quite good and he seemed quite polite, but the conversation turned out to be very frustrating.

    ??"My Zhong Yicheng said that he wanted to entertain Fangzhu Zhao personally, but because he had something to do, he had to entrust a villain to do his bidding. Zhong Yicheng felt very sorry for this and repeatedly asked the villain to apologize in person. By the way, Fangzhu Zhao.  You¡¯ve come all the way and you haven¡¯t eaten yet? I¡¯ve asked the cook to prepare the meal, and I¡¯d like to ask Master Zhao to move on.¡±

    "There's no need for food. Pindao just has some small things to discuss with Zhong Yi Cheng. I don't know when he will be free. Pindao can wait."

    The clerk frowned and wondered: "I don't know about this. Two mages from Kuixing Temple in Chengdu went to Baima Mountain and passed by this post. Accompanied by Abbot Du from Xizhenwu Palace, they were resting in the post. My Zhong Yi Cheng must follow  Waiting on the side; there are two Qianhu adults from Jinyiwei borrowing Heshan Post to do business, which is also a big errand; in addition, the family members of Commander Zheng, the commander of Ning Fan Guard, are also at this post, and Zhong Yicheng also does not dare to neglect it.  ; We have received word from the county that Dr. Si Luo, a staff member of the Ministry of War, will also pass by this post and will arrive at noon the day after tomorrow"

    The clerk counted Zhao Ran one by one with his fingers. His face was full of respect, but the corner of his mouth could not hide the trace of sarcasm.  Although he didn't say it explicitly, the meaning behind his words was quite clear - Zhong Yicheng, my family, sees all the big shots every day, and he has no time to deal with you, the little Fang Master of Wujiyuan!

    Guan Er and Lu Jin were listening nearby, their faces full of anger, and they were about to get angry, but Zhao Ran stopped him with a look. He was not without anger, but this clerk was very experienced, and there was no difference in etiquette.  The situation is also reasonable. If you vent your anger on him, you won't be able to laugh at him if you turn around.

    Zhao Ran held back his anger and said: "In that case, I wonder if you can send a message to your Zhong Yi Cheng. I want to use your post to organize a relief station, and I hope Zhong Yi Cheng can help me." At that moment, he put himself  Describe the reasons for organizing a rescue station and the specific methods.

    The clerk listened attentively and said after listening: "Master Fang is merciful. This is a great thing. I admire you very much. I will convey Master Fang's wishes to my Zhong Yi Cheng. But I also have some thoughts. I don't know what to do."  It¡¯s inappropriate to talk about it.¡±

    "Please tell me, your office."

    "Heshan Station is affiliated to the Ministry of War and is located at a strategic location. It is the largest station in western Sichuan. Now there is fierce fighting in Baima Mountain. In the past, my Zhong Yicheng must have been involved, but now is not the time. How many times a day  Distinguished people stayed at Benyi, and many important military personnel passed by Benyi. To put it bluntly, this is the key to Long'an Mansion, and even the whole of Western Sichuan. It is really not the place to give out porridge and relief. This is where people come and go.  , if you accidentally sneak in as a spy, you will miss something big, don¡¯t you think so, Lord Fang?"

    Zhao Ran was blocked by the clerk's words. Although he felt unhappy, he could not refute it, so he could only say: "You can also build a shed next to the post station. There is no need to give alms in the post station, as long as there are people in the post station to help.  "

    The clerk smiled and said: "There are few people in Heshanyi, and there are so many things to handle. How can I have time to take care of these trivial matters? You should think about it again. This matter is not easy to handle."

    Zhao Ran said: "The poor Taoist is looking for a few people from Lijia Village nearby to run this relief station. I want it to be close to the post station so that I can take care of the emergency. Can your office forward it to Zhong Yicheng? If there is any trouble, I can go there.  Zhong Yi Cheng will take care of it."

    The clerk smiled and shook his head and said: "Zhao Fangzhu, it's best not to deal with this matter within three miles of the post. After all, it's wartime now, and Xia Guo's craftsmen are everywhere. If something happens, Heshan Post will not be able to take care of it. What do you think?"  Isn¡¯t that true?¡±

    Zhao Ran nodded and said, "That's it, sorry for bothering you." After saying that, he stood up and left.

    The clerk said: "I won't send it away." Seeing Zhao Ran go out, he sneered and said secretly: "Does a small Taoist master really think that he is a big shot in the Taoist sect? It's really ridiculous that he imitates others' alms.  Come!" He turned his head and walked towards the inner courtyard. When he came to the central hall, he bowed to the two people sitting in the hall chatting Zhengya and said: "Zhong Yichen, Taoist Dong, the Taoist surnamed Zhao is gone. According to Taoist Dong's words, he  Any small request I made was not granted." (Want to know more exciting updates about "The Law of the Taoist Sect"?
