Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On October 28, Zhao Ran came to Hongyuan, which he had never entered before passing through the city gate. This time, he was finally going to enter the city.

    Hongyuan County was rebuilt on the basis of the original Qiongxi Town. It turned out that there was no city wall in the town. After it was upgraded to Hongyuan County Government, with the efforts of Yuan Hao, the Supervisor of Baimayuan, the construction of the city wall began.

    But it took two and a half years from the start of the construction to the present to build an earthen wall with a circumference of more than two miles and no more than chest height.  But the foundation of this earth wall is very thick, more than one foot thick, and it can accommodate five horses running parallel on it.

    Zhao Ran tried to reach out and beat it, and found that it was very solid. It can be seen that Yuan Hao's idea was to repair slowly. He did not need to pursue the progress of the project, but worked hard to ensure the quality. This person was relatively stable in his work.

    After briefly looking at the condition of the city wall, Zhao Ran came to the east gate.  Yuan Hao and a large group of Taoist priests from Baima Court were already waiting here. When they saw Zhao Ran, they quickly clasped their fists and bowed, saying in unison: "Welcome Abbot Zhao!"

    Zhao Ran quickly put his hands up and said repeatedly: "Everyone, please get up. Everyone, please get up. We are all in the same way, why are there so many courtesy."

    The Taoist priests stood up, looked at Zhao Ran carefully, and said in their hearts: "The rumors are indeed true, this Taoist priest is really young."

    Others are thinking: "I heard that this is the immortal master in the pavilion. I wonder what it will be like to preside over my sermon in Hongyuan County."

    The leader, Yuan Hao, was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was originally a staff member of the Governor-General's Mansion in Western Sichuan. He was born in the imperial examination and was able to sit in the position of the Supervisor of the White Horse Court and preside over the government affairs of Hongyuan. This was all due to his outstanding performance in the Battle of White Horse Mountain.  , was recommended by the then governor Zhou Gao without any effort.

    Baimayuan is a system that combines Taoist temples and government agencies. Half of the Taoist priests come from the government and half from Taoist sects. This was the strategy that Zhao Ran presented when he discussed affairs at Ye Xueguan. It is also different from other Taoist temples in the Songfan area. Throughout the  The Ming Dynasty was the first one, so Du Tenghui said that this place is special among the special.

    " I heard Yuan Hao say: "I heard that Taoist Zhao was coming to Baima Courtyard earlier. We are all excited. Today we finally have Taoist priest here. It is really a blessing for White Horse Courtyard and a blessing for Hongyuan!"

    Zhao Ran hurriedly thanked him: "How dare you take what Yuan Supervisor said? The affairs of Baima Yuan depend on the full help of Yuan Supervisor Yuan and all your colleagues."

    Yuan Hao said with a smile: "Taoist Zhao's reputation is well-known in our Sichuan Province. In just a few years, he built Junshan Temple from scratch and built it into the most trusted temple in the province. After presiding over the sermon at Wujiyuan, he also built roads, water canals,  Cherish the farmers and protect the people, eliminate bandits, make the people rich, and bring peace to the county. Guyang County can be called a great governance!"

    This is what the second-in-command must do for the newly-appointed first-in-command. Zhao Ran immediately said that he was "ashamed to be in charge" and said: "Yuan Jianyuan can call Pindao 'Zhiran' from now on, which is more cordial."

    Yuan Hao introduced Zhao Ran to the group of people accompanying him: "This is my comrade from Baima Courtyard. Let me introduce it to the abbot." He still refused to call Zhao Ran "Zhiran" and insisted on calling him "abbot".  , to show respect.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out of appearance is an old Taoist priest in his fifties, named Gu Tengfeng, who is in charge of the White Horse Courtyard.  Zhao Ran looked familiar. He seemed to have seen it in Xuanyuan in his memory.

    Back then, Zhao Ran went to Xuanyuan Temple to build relationships in order to be promoted to a Taoist rank. He met with Song Zhiyuan, who was then the inspector of Xuanyuan Temple, and had a quick meeting with this veteran Taoist in Song Zhiyuan's office.

    After hearing what Yuan Hao said, this person was indeed from Xuanyuan Temple, and was originally the Tike Taoist priest of Xuanyuan Temple's patrol room and water room.

    Tico Taoist priests are generally awarded the title of certain senior Taoist priests in the provincial or general view. These Taoist priests were born as Taoist boys in the scripture hall. They did not receive specific Taoist positions in the eight deacons' rooms, but they were responsible for certain duties and positions.  Below the Five Lords and Eighteen Heads, he is higher than the ordinary Taoist boy in the Sutra Hall.

    Gu Tengfeng has been working in Xuanyuan Temple for decades and has never been able to get into a Taoist position. Compared with Zhao Zhixing, both his family background and his personal talents are far behind.  Now that he has been transferred to Baimayuan as the governor, he has been promoted. But if he was twenty years younger, he might be seen as having a bright future, but now, I am afraid he was kicked out to provide for his retirement.

    Zhao Ran greeted with a smile: "Gu Du Guan is a high-level person who has been observed in the province. He has a broad vision and broad knowledge. I hope Gu Du Guan will give you more guidance in the future."

    Gu Tengfeng said solemnly: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, how dare you, how dare you."

    After Gu Tengfeng, there was Lei Shan, the chef of Baimayuan. However, this person came from the government and was also a juren. He was the former county magistrate of Pingwu County.

    Yuan Hao added: "Nie Dujiao and Fan Gaogong are not in the county. Abbot Zeng took up his post in Yongzhen and held a Taoist ceremony in Yongzhen. He specially appointed them to give lectures to the Taoist priests at the Lingshe Temple in Yongzhen. Well.  , it should have ended the day before yesterday. When they left, they said that they didn¡¯t know if they could come back to greet the abbot. If it was too late, let me express my apology. But they will definitely come back before the public recommendation, and they will not miss it.The abbot's enthronement ceremony.  "

    Zhao Ran smiled and nodded: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

    The remaining seven deacons were all present. Li Zhike, Lu Fangzhu, and Zuo Xunzhao were all from Daomen, while Luo Dianzao, Shen Yingbin, Tieku, and Long Zhangfang were from the government.

    Behind these Taoist priests of Baimayuan are more than a dozen "celebrities" from Hongyuan. However, Hongyuan was a territory that was just wrested from Xixia. There are no gentry or wealthy people. There are only tribal leaders, businessmen and rural elders.  .

    No one from the three Hongyuan tribes, Longbai tribe, Chama tribe, and Qionghe tribe, Longbai and Chama came. Only two leaders from the Qionghe tribe, the weakest among the three tribes, came to Zhao Ran.  Bow and salute.

    Zhao Ran helped them up one by one, comforted them with a lot of kind words, and promised them to visit their village in a while.  Then he waved to the rest of the people and expressed his gratitude to everyone for coming out of the city to greet them, and then followed Yuan Hao into Hongyuan.

    Hongyuan is really too simple. There is only one main street less than a hundred feet long. The houses on the main street are somewhat decent. Several restaurants, tea shops, cloth shops, grain shops, and medicine shops are all wooden houses. The rest are wooden houses.  Stone houses, as for the rest of the houses behind the street, at first glance they are basically all earth houses.

    The best building in the city is undoubtedly the White Horse Courtyard. Yuan Hao introduced that this place was originally the Wanxiang Temple built by Buddhists. It can be seen that the former Abbot Zeng really put a lot of thought into the reconstruction.  Although the Taoist temple is small, it is very clean and tidy, and the stone and wood used are sufficient.

    That night, Yuan Hao invited Zhao Ran to a restaurant opposite the Taoist Temple for dinner. All seven deacons were present, and the meal was naturally roasted whole lamb.

    Zhao Ran didn¡¯t talk to them about political affairs or his own plans. He only talked about gossip that was of great interest to everyone.  For example, the scene of Master Zhang Da's ascension, the excitement of the Nirvana Dharma Ceremony in Tianlongyuan, etc.  Needless to say, his storytelling skills made everyone nervous, excited, happy, and in tears, and they naturally and inadvertently had great respect for his status as a monk.

    Within one meal, Zhao Ran had initially established an image that was both awe-inspiring and friendly.
