Junshan Temple is a dojo that Wujiyuan will soon establish. Of course, this has been approved by the three capitals of Xizhenwu Palace. However, Baidu of Xinzhenwu Palace has not had time to inform Zhao Ran, so he gave Zhao Ran a beating. Caught off guard.
The reason why it is called Junshan Temple is because the jurisdiction designated by Wujiyuan is just west of Jundu Mountain and east of Xiaojun Mountain. Zhao Ran thought about it, didn't this happen to be the tens of thousands of acres of wasteland I contracted? Okay, so you just want me to mess around on my own property? Is this asking me to collect my own incense money, and then I have to hand over the money to Wujiyuan?
Looking at Dong Zhikun¡¯s serious face and Xu Tenglong¡¯s meaningful smile, Zhao Ran was suddenly speechless.
¡°However, he was already prepared to be put into small shoes. Now that the first pair of shoes was thrown at him, he calculated that it was still within the tolerance range, so he tolerated it. It's only a few hundred taels of silver a year. With Zhao Ran's wealth, it's no problem to pay it off in one go for hundreds of years. In fact, looking at it from another perspective, it is not bad to be a temple blessing on one's own territory. Fortunately, the county government has nothing to do. Everything is decided by oneself, and the Taoist officials shoulder the responsibility.
Zhao Ran's current mind is not on the struggle for power, and the general situation at the moment does not allow him to continue jumping up and down. Although it is a little frustrating to be low, he bends down to accumulate strength. He still understands this truth. of. He has only one plan in the near future, which is to "finish" his Qi Sea into shape, and then enter the Taoist realm as soon as possible. Compared with fighting for power and profit, this is the top priority right now.
The new Zhike Chen Zhizhong has not yet stepped down from his duties as a magistrate because Dong Zhikun was not very popular in Wuji Academy in the past. Now that he has suddenly ascended to the position, there are really no candidates in his pocket who can be replaced, so he asked Chen Zhizhong, who had just "closed" to him, to serve as the director. The book was written in a canon and deliberately left empty in order to attract more "aspiring" Taoist friends to come closer to him.
When Zhao Ran went to Dianzuofang to go through the relevant procedures, Chen Zhizhong sighed and said, "Junior Brother Zhao, Wuji Courtyard has undergone major changes. Senior Brother, I am also a little discouraged and have begun to think about leaving"
Zhao Ran was amused in his heart, but his face was full of heaviness. He nodded to show that he fully understood, while waiting to hear "but".
¡°But, senior brother, I have devoted more than ten years to Wuji Academy, and I really can¡¯t bear to see Wuji Academy sink like this, so I have to work hard and do my best for my fellow sects in the courtyard and for the people of the county! I hope that Junior Brother Zhao will understand my difficulties, Senior Brother."
Zhao Ran sighed and said: "Senior Brother Chen, Wujiyuan is bound to be more dangerous in the future. Senior brother, you must hold on. There is an old saying in my hometown, 'Don't let go when you stick to the green mountains.' Junior brother, I am about to travel to Mount Jundu, and I wish I could stay here." Let¡¯s use these words to encourage each other to help our senior fellow apprentices!¡±
Chen Zhizhong was so moved that he almost burst into tears. He shook Zhao Ran's shoulders vigorously, as if to prove his determination: "Junior brother, these words are very good, and they are a reflection of my feelings! Don't worry, junior brother, you are here. If you have any difficulties after crossing the mountain, just come to see my senior brother. I will do my best to prevent my junior brother from being wronged at all!"
Zhao Ran sighed again - he was sighing so much that he was about to lose oxygen: "The strong wind knows the strong grass, the country is in chaos The hospital is in chaos, see Zhongliang, thank you senior brother! Junior brother, I really have many difficulties, I hope you can help me!"
Zhao Ran immediately lowered his head and started counting on his fingers: "Going to Jundu Mountain, everything is a grassroots effort. The temple construction fee, daily management fee, propaganda and education fee, ritual expenditure, etc. all need to be funded by the hospital ¡¡±
Chen Zhizhong¡¯s eyelids twitched: ¡°¡well¡.¡±
Zhao Ran continued to clasp his fingers and said: "Also, I just asked about it. Longshan Temple has five Taoist priests and ten pyrotechnics laymen. Junior brother, I don't ask for more, just compare it with Longshan Temple"
Chen Zhizhong's eyelids twitched again: "uh"
"Also, in order to avoid misunderstandings during the sermon, I think we should first delineate the specific boundaries between Taoist temples and Taoist temples, such as Zaolin and Chongmagou in the northeast of Mount Jundu, although they are not within the scope of the wasteland I contracted Inside, but it is at the foot of Mount Jundu, separated from the outside by the Chongma River. It is very inconvenient for the Taoist temple to manage, so it is better to put it under the Taoist temple"
""
In the end, Zhao Ran took out a list from his arms, which listed all the conditions he had just proposed. Chen Zhizhong, with a smile on his face, repeatedly said that he would try his best to satisfy it, and then sent Zhao Ran out of Dian Zaofang with great enthusiasm.
Chen Zhizhong returned to the table and sat down, wiped the sweat from his forehead, picked up the paper and read it again, then picked up the pen and started to make corrections. First cross out the five hundred taels of start-up expenses and write in one hundred taels, then change the establishment to three people, and cut the Huo Gong layman in half, and then continue to modify other matters
Zhao Ran left Dian Zaofang and went straight to find Liu Zhiguang, a high-ranking official.When I arrived at the door of the classroom, classes were about to end. The Taoist boys went out one after another to have lunch, and Jin Jiu was among them. When he saw Zhao, he hurried over, saluted and asked, "Brother Zhao, how's it going?"
Zhao Ran nodded and said: "Don't worry, I'm looking for Liu Gaogong about this matter."
Jin Jiu immediately beamed with joy: "That's good, that's good! That Zhang Ze has been extremely rude in front of me these days. Seeing that he is about to receive an ultimatum, if he comes to the Sutra Hall, where will I be? It¡¯s a good day. It¡¯s better to follow senior brother and go outside to relax! By the way, senior brother, when do we set off for Longshan?¡±
"It's not Longshan, it's Junshan. The courtyard will set up a Junshan temple between Jundu Mountain and Xiaojunshan, and let me go there to pray in the temple."
"Huh? That wasteland?" Jin Jiu was a little dumbfounded.
"What? Don't want to go?"
Jin Jiu hesitated for a moment, and when he saw Zhao Ran staring at him with a half-smile, he immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Go! It's better than staying on the mountain and suffering!"
Zhao Ran patted Jin Jiu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "How can you think so badly? Let me tell you, we are creating a big business!"
After fooling Jin Jiu for a few words, Zhao Ran entered the side room of the Sutra Hall and happened to meet Liu Zhiguang, a high-ranking official. Liu Zhiguang paced around the room irritably. When he saw Zhao, he asked, "Why are you here? By the way, have you reached an agreement with Chen Zhizhong?"
The friendship between Zhao Ran and Liu Zhiguang was extraordinary. When he recounted what had just happened, Liu Zhiguang said scornfully: "Hypocritical! What a villain! He said what he wanted to do with great righteousness before, but in the blink of an eye, he voted for the man surnamed Dong. What a double-dealer! What the hell! What a villain!" Don¡¯t believe his lies. How can he make the final decision on such a big matter? Just look at it, he promised lightly, and it¡¯s fine if he doesn¡¯t lose half of it for you!¡±
Zhao Ran smiled and said: "I also know that this is not his decision. As long as I can get half of it, I will be satisfied. No matter how close it is, I can accept it." Although Zhao Ran also looked down on duplicitous guys like Chen Zhizhong, But he wouldn't give up dealing with him because of this, especially when he was at a disadvantage, and he didn't mind continuing to interact with him. At least Chen Zhizhong didn't completely break off relations with him, which left room for him to draw on.
Zhao Ran proposed to send Jin Jiu to Junshan Temple. Liu Zhiguang agreed without saying a word and asked Zhao Ran to choose again. As long as there is a Taoist boy he likes, he will just take it.
Zhao Ran asked Liu Zhiguang again why he was sullen here, and Liu Zhiguang didn't hide it, saying: "This year, the Xizhenwu Palace gave Wujiyuan four places to receive ultimatums. I have a nephew who wants to enter the Taoist sect, but before. I mentioned it to Dong Zhikun two days ago, and he even said that he could not enter the sutra hall directly without going through the experience of pyrotechnics. Well, I agree, let¡¯s just follow the rules and let him become a pyrotechnics layman first. But Luo Du said just now He showed me the list of candidates who are going to receive the ultimatum this year. His nephew also has no experience in pyrotechnics, so why can he receive the ultimatum?"
After listening, Zhao Ran was speechless. Let¡¯s not talk about the issue of darkness or not. The key point is that this kind of thing can be done better, and there is no need to be so rough and direct. It even aroused Liu Zhiguang¡¯s anger, which shows that Dong Zhikun is not even the most basic person. His political skills are lacking, and he really lacks experience.
After comforting Liu Zhiguang and persuading him not to confront Dong Zhikun for the time being, Zhao Ran left the Sutra Hall. Afterwards, Zhao Ran went to visit Sandu and the deacons one by one. Everyone's attitude towards him was pretty good and they did not avoid him because he lost power. It seemed that Zhao Ran had left a too deep impression on everyone, including No one, including Jiang Zhiheng, was willing to openly conflict with him, and they were all worried about whether he would suddenly make a comeback in the future.
