Chapter 360 Inspection

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    When the two foremen saw Zhao Hou, they were so excited that they trembled with excitement. Together with all the apprentice craftsmen in the entire workshop, they knelt down in darkness, kowtowed on the ground and refused to get up at all.

    Zhao Ran was helpless and looked at Jin Jiu, hoping that Jin Jiu would persuade the two foremen to get up.  Jin Jiu made a gesture of stroking the tops of the two foremen's heads. Only then did Zhao Ran remember, smiling and gently stroking his palms on the tops of the two foremen's heads.

    Zhao Ranhun didn¡¯t pay attention and just caressed her casually. However, the two foremen were so excited that they shed tears.  This is understandable. Being able to accept blessings from regular Taoist priests is enough to excite ordinary people, not to mention that Zhao Ran is a "true immortal master"!

    Immortal Master Junshan returned from a long journey. The news spread quickly. When Zhao Ran left the foot of Junshan and inspected the villages, he was immediately surrounded by a sea of ??people.

    First, the elderly at home came out to bow down, and then the ladies from each household came out to watch with their children in their arms. By the time the young and strong people came from the fields, Zhao Ran was already surrounded by countless layers.

    Fortunately, although the people were excited, curious, respectful, and excited, most of them consciously stayed two feet away from Zhao Ran and did not dare to "alert the immortal body", otherwise it would be difficult to deal with a stampede accident.

    With the efforts of Jin Jiu, Guan Er and others, hundreds of old people in the village lined up to come to Zhao Ran one after another, kowtowed and prayed for blessings from the immortal.  Zhao Ran had no choice but to stroke his head one by one, and finally managed to deal with the enthusiastic crowd.

    ¡° Next, we continued to the fields to check for spring plowing, to the canals to check for irrigation, to the river to check for fishing After walking around like this, Zhao Ran had a rough idea.

    Back at Junshan Temple, Zhao Ran convened everyone to continue discussing matters. The first task he assigned was to build roads.

    Under the auspices of Jin Jiu, last winter, a simple dirt road was built in Junshan area, with a total length of more than ten miles, but it provided great convenience for the people in Junshan area to communicate with the outside world. This road is also the only road in Junshan that leads to the outside world.

    This road was not completed, and it only stopped one-fifth of the way from Guyang County. The main reason was the issue of management authority in the jurisdiction.  To put it bluntly, even if Junshan Temple does not occupy cultivated land or private mountains with owners, and opens roads far around the barren mountains and wild lands, these barren mountains and wild lands are also the official property of Guyang County, and Junshan Temple is not qualified to open roads on them¡ª¡ª  Even if you do good things.

    Such a major matter is definitely not something Jin Jiu can handle and coordinate. To be able to drive more than ten miles, Jin Jiu has tried his best.

    Now that Zhao Ran is back, since road construction can increase the power of merit on a large scale, of course he must take action and strive to build the road to Guyang County.

    In one month, the spring plowing will be over. By then, there will be no need for so many people in the fields to serve the farmers. According to Jin Jiu's estimate, at least 500 people can be organized.

    Based on the experience last winter, Jin Jiu calculated the approximate cost of road construction, which is about 500 people working hard for three months and about one thousand taels of silver. The dirt road can be extended for ten miles; in winter, it will be extended again.  Ten miles away, the official road will connect Shangjiangyou County to Guyang County in the middle of next year.

    This plan obviously does not satisfy Zhao Ran.  He smiled after asking Jin Jiu about his construction method last year.  Jin Jiu didn't have the guts or the face to find Master Five Colors' bird-shaped multi-purpose machine, and he, Zhao Ran, wouldn't be polite.

    It¡¯s just a dirt road. The main work is to dig up the gravel and level the land. This problem can fully give full play to the advantages of spiritual practice. One bird is not enough for the five-color master?  It doesn't matter, Zhao Ran doesn't mind playing in person!

    Five hundred people is too few, at least a thousand people must be mobilized!  Zhao Ran has a lot of money in his pocket!

    Not to mention that Jin Jiu and others looked at each other in disbelief, but although Zhao Ran had been away for a year and a half, his prestige had not increased even a little bit. There was no other reason than that he was a true immortal master.

    Of course, the donkey must be fed even before it is put on a rope to work.  Zhao Ran's current idea is to make full use of his Junshan Temple's establishment to give his subordinates some hope, and then think of more solutions in the future.

    There were three official Taoist priest establishments received from Wuji Academy at the beginning. He took one, Jin Jiu took one, and one was vacant. There were five Huo Gong laymen, Guan Er and Lu Jin took two, and three were vacant.

    Zhao Ran called Guan Er over and asked him privately whether he was willing to change from a fire-working layman to an ultimatum-receiving Taoist priest.  Being able to become an ultimatum Taoist priest is the dream of most people in the Ming Dynasty in this era, and Guan Er is certainly no exception, not to mention that the person who is going to promote him is Zhao Ran, a true immortal master who has been very kind to him.

    "In more than a year, you will be returning to the Zhenwei Escort Bureau to take over as the head escort, right?" Zhao Ran asked with a smile, "Are you willing to do so?"

    Guan Er sighed with emotion: "Of course the chief escort??, but during the four years in Junshan, I really felt the joy of doing things.  Thousands of people have to be taken care of by us. This feeling I can't sleep, I can't leave them behind.  "

    In the evening, Song Xiong, the master of the Jundu Mountain Bandit Village supported by Junshan Temple, reported himself to his family and asked to see Zhao Zhiran.

    Zhao Zhiran let him in and personally brought him a cup of tea.  This was due to Zhao Ran's habit, but Song Xiong was inexplicably grateful. He secretly thought that in the future, even if he reaches the top of the world, he will be proud to say that Master Zhao once served tea to me, Old Song.

    The main purpose of Song Xiong's visit was to report to Zhao Ran the situation in the Jundu Mountain Bandit Village. In fact, Zhao Ran had already heard about the situation from Guan Er and Lu Jin. He knew that Song Xiong wanted to clear his name and become a fire engineer at Junshan Temple.  Layman, the so-called report was just Song Xiong's official reason for coming here to see him, so he listened patiently to what he had to say and waited for his next words.

    Sure enough, after Song Xiong finished his confession, he knelt at Zhao Ran's feet again, kowtowed and said, "I still have some kindness to report back."

    "You tell me," said Zhao Ran with a pleasant look. Song Xiong has been performing very well in the past few years. He stayed on Jundu Mountain honestly and secretly cleared out bandits for the people of Jundu Mountain. His contribution is not small.  He had intended to support Song Xiong before, but he only went to Xia Kingdom and was delayed for a year and a half. Today, he saw that Song Xiong did not complain at all and remained as usual. In fact, he had already made up his mind to turn him into a fire master.

    I heard Song Xiong talk about something.  It turned out that at the end of last year, Song Xiong caught a passing thief. He had no intention of killing anyone, but just frightened him casually. However, the thief was so frightened that he told him his origins clearly.  .  Because of the seriousness of the matter, Song Xiong did not dare to tell anyone and waited for Master Zhao Xian to come back and report it face to face.

    After saying that, Song Xiong presented a piece of paper filled with words: "Taoist Master Zhao, this is the confession of the thief, and below is the signature he drew."
