Lou Guan and his colleagues all went to Fujian to pay their respects to Master Xu on his birthday, leaving only Zhao Ran to supervise the work in the Dajun Mountain Cave. It's said to be a supervisor, but there's really nothing to worry about.
When Zhao Ran came back in the morning, he had already walked around and found that everything was in order. Master Sun Biyun is refining the temple in Junshan Temple, and he has no way to get involved. The location where it will be placed after refining has been planned long ago. The only thing that needs to be done is what materials Master Sun needs. time to see if he could help.
Stepping to the Junshan Temple, Master Sun Biyun and his disciples were refining the temple in the cave where Xunlei Xianzhenhuo was. Zhao Ran walked around a few times, but he didn't see anything. But Fu Sihai made a request to him: "Uncle Master"
Zhao Ran quickly waved his hand: "I can't do it, I can't do it!"
Fu Sihai nodded and said: "Okay. Master Zhao, the one hundred thousand taels of silver you left has been almost spent, and there are still a few thousand taels left. Now it seems that it is not enough. I wonder if uncle Zhao can get some more?"
"Approximately how many are needed?"
"I originally calculated that it would take about 80,000 taels, but the two hundred square meters of purple nanmu brought back by my uncle is very useful and makes up for the need for the special wood. We plan to add it and re-refine it, so there is still about 50,000 taels left. . What still needs to be purchased is some refined copper, lead and mercury, and to refine a lot of talismans and magic weapons. I plan to ask two apprentices to go down the mountain to buy them back If my uncle doesn¡¯t take advantage of the money, I will let them go back to Wudang first. I, the Great Sage, will take some from Nanyan Palace."
"Where can we use your money?" Zhao Ran quickly took out a thick stack of silver notes and handed it to Fu Sihai.
Zhao Ran originally expected to invest 300,000 silver in the construction of the entire Dajun Mountain Cave. Among them, I can use all of my 200,000 taels, plus Lou Guan's sect's 60,000 taels, and the remaining shortfall can be made up by selling Buddhist magic weapons and elixirs.
But since we have the free labor of those people, we no longer need to consider hiring people to do the work. This has saved thousands of people more than a year of work time and money. It seems that it can be completed with only 150,000 taels. This is really a huge savings. Well, he got back another 150,000 taels from Xixia, which was more than enough money.
After paying the money, "Uncle Zhao" was kicked out by the Fu brothers, and he strolled to the Lingyao Villa, which was under construction in full swing.
When it came to building their own homes, these demons had absolutely no intention of being lazy and spared no effort in building their own homes. Even though Lingyao Villa covers an area of ??more than 800 acres, according to the design of Zhao Ran and Sun Biyun, the consumables for such a huge villa are only 10,000 taels. In the eyes of experts, it is really shockingly crude.
But I didn¡¯t expect that when I walked around for a while, I found that all the courtyards were quite beautiful, especially the gardens in each courtyard, including rockeries, ponds, woods, flower beds, everything!
Zhao Ran swore to God that he and Sun Biyun had absolutely no such things in their budgets!
?? Could it be that these guys misappropriated materials from elsewhere? As soon as this idea came up, Zhao Ran gave it up. The construction of the entire Junshan Cave Heaven only cost 150,000 silver, which was mainly used for the refining palace of Sun Biyun and his disciples. Can these spirit monsters steal materials from Master Sun? Zhao Ran didn't believe it no matter what.
Zhao Ran first came to the "Daoxiang Village" built by Qingtian laymen - this vulgar name was given by Zhao Ran, and he saw Qingniu who was leveling the land at a glance. I looked around and saw that the Toad Palace Fairy was not there, so I seized the opportunity and stepped forward to ask.
"Bulk! You windmill"
"Moo~Zhao Xingxing, doesn't this windmill of Mavericks look good?"
"No, no, I'm asking, where did this windmill come from?"
"Moo~ This is a tree cut by Xiao Niu from the mountain, and he asked Xiao Fu Lian Master to help him make it."
"Oh, that's it. Then, what about the rockery in Huangshan Junhou Garden? Pindao looked at it and saw that it was a big piece of Taihu stone. I wonder where he got it from?"
"Those are the items treasured by Taoist fellow Huangshan in Jianshan Cave. According to him, they have been collected piece by piece over decades. Since we are going to practice in the Dajunshan Cave in the future, we simply moved them all to Jianshan Cave." I don¡¯t know what to see, just a pile of broken stones"
This pile of broken stones was worth more than tens of thousands of silver. Now Zhao Ran was relieved. Since it was not embezzlement or harming the world at the foot of the mountain, he was of course happy that these spirit demons had moved all the good treasures into the cave.
After the inspection, Zhao Ran gave Zhumeng a flying talisman.
"Junior brothers, how are you doing lately? Have you got the documents from the general survey? Have you gone to Wujiyuan to fulfill your duties as abbot?"
"Senior Brother Zhao has come back from Xixia? The paperwork for the overview has come down. In mid-August, I went to the Presbyterian Hall to sign up. I was the only one in the entire Huayun Hall who went there. The other brothers thought I was a fool.""Don't be bothered by those ordinary people's opinions. Today they look down on you, but tomorrow you will make them unable to reach you!"
"Huh? Senior brother, what you said is very reasonable! By the way, on the first day of September, at the public recommendation meeting of Wuji Academy, I was promoted to the throne."
"How does it feel to be an abbot for a month?"
"As you said, I hosted a fasting ceremony, and it was really crowded! I invited a place to go out and wander around. What did you say? Well, it shocked them all! Haha, it's interesting! It's just flowers I paid dozens of taels of silver"
Zhao Ran quickly blocked his words: "Yes, yes, junior brother actually asked for the land. It's amazing! Is it the land of Wuji Mountain? Is it the incarnation of me? The fields under Wuji Mountain must have a good harvest this year! Let me just say, Junior brother, your level of fasting rituals is absolutely top-notch, keep up the hard work! What next?"
"Then I will go back to the mountain. There will be a fasting ceremony at the end of this month, and then I will go to Wujiyuan. Didn't you say that I don't have to worry about the rest? I gave instructions to Liu Zhiguang, the prisoner, and if there are any major undecided matters, Let them find you, and they ask me how to find you, and I say it¡¯s up to you, haha!¡±
"Then, has the overall plan been issued for me to serve as a Taoist official in Baimayuan?"
"I don't know. I'm busy practicing and haven't seen it. Why don't you wait until I go to Wujiyuan at the end of the month and help you find out?"
Zhao Ran was speechless, but as long as Zhu Meng did not meddle in Wujiyuan's political affairs at will and did not give blind orders, then nothing would be a problem. Liu Zhiguang would never dare to change the major political strategy he had set without authorization.
Since all the men have performed their duties, it means that the West Zhenwu Palace of Long'an Prefecture has issued a document to remove Zhao Ran from the position of abbot of Wujiyuan and appoint him. I just don¡¯t know if there is a document issued by Songfan Tianhe Palace to remove Zeng Zhili from the position of abbot of Baimayuan, allowing Baimayuan to re-recommend and recommend candidates.
On Song Fan¡¯s side, it was not convenient for Zhao Ran to take the initiative to inquire. Although at that time, after taking care of the ascension ceremony of Zhang Laodao and the Lord of Qingshan on Wudang Mountain, Zhang Jianyuan and Abbot Shen of the General View talked about letting themselves go to Baima Yuan, but who knows if these two people will change their minds. Woolen cloth? As long as the document is not issued for a day, the matter will not be considered solid. If something happens in the middle, and I rush to Tianhe Palace to meet with Du Teng, it will be too embarrassing.
Zhao Ran thought for a while, and to find out about this matter, he still had to go to Bai Tengming, the abbot of Xizhenwu Palace. They were all big bosses at the state level. Bai Tengming must have accurate information.
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Ran immediately sent out a flying talisman.
