In order to accumulate merit, Zhao Ran also worked hard. As soon as he returned to Junshan, he started making preparations in full swing. He rode an old donkey, led Jin Jiu, Guan Er, Lu Jin and others, and surveyed all the way towards Guyang County.
Jin Jiu had already planned this route last year, and this is what Zhao Ran values ????about him - he is willing to take the initiative to do things and share responsibilities. This is a subordinate that any superior person likes.
Pointing to a village in the mountains ahead, Jin Jiu said: "This is right here. This family's surname is Qu. Their ancestors were the governors of Anhui and were also powerful in our county. The mountain forest next to them belongs to their family. If we don't start from the foot of the mountain, To open the road, we have to take a detour to the east, which is an extra twenty miles. I asked the adults at home last year, and they said it would be best to wait until you come back to discuss it."
Even the captain of Jinxian County did not dare to act rashly, which shows that this family has a deep foundation.
Everyone continued to move forward and rode forward for two hours. Jin Jiu stopped by a river and said: "A wooden bridge will be built here, and I have already discovered the place where the bridge will be built. As for the route, I plan to go around the fields. But no matter what, if you want to open the road to the river, you need to occupy at least two acres of land in the field. This is actually the difficult part to solve. These are all high-quality paddy fields, and people will definitely disagree."
Zhao Ran asked: "What is the background of this family?"
Jin Jiudao: "Our Liu Gaogong family in Wujiyuan"
Zhao Ran: ""
After going around like this for a day, when he returned to Junshan Temple, it was already dark, and Zhao Ran ordered to fight at night by burning a lamp. Jin Jiu took out the map of Guyang County that he copied from the county last year, and several people sat down on the table to discuss it seriously.
Counting from the wooden bridge on the Chongma River to the county official road next to Qujiazhuang, the total length is nearly fifty miles. Among them, more than ten miles of land on Junshan on the north bank of the Chongma River have been repaired, and there are still more Forty miles.
Most of these forty miles are barren mountains and ridges registered by the county government. Zhao Ran has already reached an agreement with Magistrate Kong, so there is no problem. There are still three or four places that can be detoured. Although it will take five or six miles more to build, it can save a lot of trouble.
So the biggest problem is the Qu family and the Liu Zhiguang family of Wujiyuan. If the road is not opened from their land, the entire project will cost an extra thirty miles. The length is almost doubled, so the significance of opening a road is not very big.
Generally speaking, solving such problems is nothing more than a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, it is forced down from above, requiring support and cooperation in all route planning, otherwise severe penalties are imposed; on the other hand, it is contacted privately and directly takes money. Just like the later generations.
With the background of these two families, it is impossible to expect the county to issue an official document - even if the official document is issued, they will ignore you, and forcible expropriation violates the Ming Dynasty law.
So Zhao Ran quickly made up his mind to throw money at it. He is short of many things now, but he is not short of money!
At the moment, both sides acted at the same time. Jin Jiu went to talk to the Qu family to see what conditions they offered. As for Liu Gaogong, he had no choice but to take action on his own.
???????????????????? Lao Donkey was familiar with the ways and hurried towards Wuji Courtyard happily. Zhao Ran felt that Lao Donkey¡¯s speed seemed to be much faster than before. Zhao Ran was very pleased, this meant that Lao Donkey's cultivation had increased. As for how Laolv cultivates, Zhao Ran has never understood it. Maybe he does it while sleeping, who knows?
In less than half a day, the old donkey arrived at the foot of Wuji Mountain. Zhao Ran patted the old donkey's butt and let it go play around. He climbed the steps along the mountain path. When we arrived at the mountain gate, looking at the familiar tall buildings with overhanging eaves, I couldn't help but feel a sigh of relief. After all, you haven¡¯t been here for almost three years, right?
The pyrotechnical layman on duty at the gate was a new face that Zhao Ran had never seen before. He must have been recruited by Fang Tang, who patrolled the mountain and guarded the courtyard, in the past two years. Zhao Ran did not wear his Huayun Pavilion Taoist robe. That Taoist robe was the equipment of the Taoist priests in the pavilion. It was too cool. He was just looking for someone to do some trivial things, so there was no need to be so solemn.
When the layman Huo Gong saw a young Taoist coming to his door, he thought he was here to place an order. Before asking, Zhao Ran said directly: "Don't bother me, I am Zhao Zhiran of Junshan Temple."
After hearing this, the fireman had a very wonderful expression on his face, and he froze there at a loss. A companion happened to come out behind him, but he was an acquaintance. A martial artist who had worked under Zhao Ran in the past. When he saw Zhao Ran, he quickly bowed and said: "Ah Taoist Master Zhao Hello, old man"
Zhao Ran also smiled at him and nodded, raised his foot to cross the threshold, and stepped in.
The one in front asked: "Is this Zhao Zhiran Master Zhao Xian? The one from Junshan?"
The one at the back smacked his tongue: "That's the one, back then tsk tsk, that was amazing!"
So, at the mountain gate of Wujiyuan, another scene began where the old man taught the newcomers how to work hard.?The story of struggle.
Zhao Ran walked through the front yard and went straight to the backyard. He saw the door of Gao Gong's room was open. When he looked inside, Liu Zhiguang happened to be inside.
"Senior Brother Liu, how are you always?"
Liu Zhiguang was reading a document when he suddenly saw someone pushing the door in. When he raised his eyes, he immediately jumped out from behind the table: "Oh, there are few visitors! Junior Brother Zhao I heard that Junior Brother Zhao has entered the pavilion. Cultivator, should I call myself Immortal Master Zhao from now on? Come, come, sit, sit, sit."
Zhao Ran said politely: "What kind of immortal master is not an immortal master? It's true that I entered the pavilion to practice, but in front of Senior Brother Liu, I am still the junior brother who studied scriptures back then. If Senior Brother calls him an 'immortal master', that would be too much." It¡¯s too late.¡±
After a pause, he added: ¡°Besides, I¡¯m still a Zhuzi from Junshan Temple of Wujiyuan!¡±
Liu Zhiguang was happy and quickly poured tea for Zhao Ran. Zhao Ran also accepted it calmly.
While drinking tea, the two chatted about their farewell.
Zhao Ran's side was quite simple. Everyone in the Wuji Academy knew about his establishment of a temple in Junshan. However, he couldn't disclose the fact that he went to Xia Kingdom to act as a hidden stake, so he pretended that he went to Baima Mountain. This was also The information that could be verified in Yuhuang Pavilion was finished before the cup of tea was finished.
After talking about his own affairs, Zhao Ran asked Liu Zhiguang, but Liu Zhiguang sighed.
After Dong Zhikun became the supervisor of the Wuji Academy, he put aside the three capitals and never convened the three capitals for discussion. He mainly relied on Chen Zhizhong and Jiang Zhiheng to handle the affairs of the academy. Among them, Chen Zhizhong was transferred from Dianzao to the position of duty secretary and Jiang Zhiheng, a higher-ranking Zhike, was directly promoted from the head of the Fangtang to the Fangzhu - that is, Zhao Ran's previous supervisor.
Many things can actually be discussed openly in the Sandu meeting, but I don¡¯t know what Dong Zhikun thinks. Almost all the cats are in their own prison rooms, relying on these two people to secretly hold small meetings, making it sneaky.
As a result, the three capitals who could have participated in the deliberations of the three capitals, as well as the high-ranking official Liu Zhiguang and the patrol officer Zhang Zhihuan, were excluded from the core power circle of Wujiyuan.
Of course Liu Zhiguang was full of complaints about this.
