Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhao Ran finally understood that Zhenren Ning wanted to save the life of the crazy girl, so he had no choice but to admit defeat. In fact, it was no good if he didn't admit defeat. The matter had come to this, and if he lost, he would definitely lose. Zhao Ran really couldn't think of any good way.  Come to make a comeback, if you insist on refusing to admit defeat, not only will it be useless, I'm afraid that crazy girl's life will also have to pay for it.

    But Zhao Ran actually didn't mind whether the crazy girl lived or died. He had a preconceived idea and had a bad impression of the two girls from the Ning family. If he could deal with the girl from the Ning family, he would be willing from the bottom of his heart, so he asked: "Is there still a chance?  ?For example, replace it with a real person?"

    Dongfang Li said: "Then this girl might die" Suddenly he tilted his head and looked at Zhao Ran and said with a smile: "Is it possible that you have a grudge against the Ning family girl?"

    Zhao Ran laughed dryly: "How is that possible? Senior Brother Li is joking, haha."

    Dongfang Li nodded: "Even if you want to change, it's too late, there isn't that much time"

    When Dongfang Li left, he told Zhao Ran that the reason for confessing to him was to ask Zhao Ran to shut up, control his heart, stop talking too much, and stop being curious. At the same time, he also controlled the people of the Lou Guan sect and tried to stay out of the matter and not get involved.  .

    After arranging for the people on his side to forget about this matter, and especially telling Wei Zhizhen not to talk nonsense, and sternly asking Yu Zhichuan, Yue Ying, and Yang Zhiwen not to mention it again in the future, Zhao Ran went down the mountain and returned to Baima Courtyard, handling official matters while waiting for the reception.  News coming down.

    On November 23, Zhao Ran received the news that something went wrong during Yunxiu Ge Ning's practice, and he needed to retreat for half a year. He withdrew from the competition for the master of Sanqing Pavilion, and Yunnan Longquan Pavilion became the master of Yu.  The only candidate.

    Zhao Ran asked Dongfang Li about the final outcome of the Yuye murder case. Dongfang Li told him that when Ning Luoniang, the yellow-crowned female cultivator of Yunxiu Pavilion, was ordered to arrest the six brothers of Majuzhai, she took action because the other party resisted arrest.  Due to insufficient cultivation, he was unable to control the powerful magic weapon freely, so he killed all six people on the spot.

    The case was reported to Dongji Pavilion. After Yunxiu Pavilion asked Dongji Pavilion for instructions, Ning Luoniang was severely punished and detained in the Yunxiu Pavilion Zhongyuan for three years, and she was not allowed to step out of the mountain gate for three years.

    However, this punishment caused controversy among the casual cultivators in Shangzhou. The death of the six brothers from Majuzhai reportedly made the local casual cultivators applaud. In addition, they also came to Yunxiu Pavilion to petition, hoping that Yunxiu Pavilion would be released.  Ning Luoniang, who eliminates harm for the people.

    Zhao Ran could only laugh at this.

    On the first day of December, Zhao Ran, who had paid little attention to the follow-up progress, continued to receive news from Dongfang Li.

    At the public recommendation ceremony convened by the True Master Hall that day, Master Yu received the votes of the twenty-seven senior cultivators of the Void Refining Realm who were present, and also received letters of support from the nineteen True Masters and Heavenly Masters who were not present (also counted as approval)  (listed among the votes), and eventually more than half of them were promoted to the throne in Sanqing Pavilion, becoming the new real person following Chen Zhenren, and presiding over the affairs of Sanqing Pavilion together with Wu Tianshi.

    ??Zhenren Yu is mainly in charge of the North and South Halls of Sanqing Pavilion, targeting the Beiyuan Dynasty in the north and Tubo in the south; Wu Tianshi is still in charge of the West Hall and Inner Hall, and is in charge of the internal affairs of Xixia and Ming Dynasty.

    When he received the news, Zhao Ran couldn't help but feel a sense of regret. This was his first defeat in the political struggle since the 16th year of Jiajing. Although he was not the protagonist and did not even qualify as an important participant, he was after all.  After working so hard and doing so much, I feel quite uncomfortable when I get such a result.

    But now that the results have come out, we must adjust our mentality and accept rather than resist. Resistance is meaningless. Focusing on the present and handling the affairs at hand is the right thing to do.  What's more, he belongs to Xitang and is still considered a member of Wu Tianshi's side. Master Yu can't control him for the time being.

    It is now the end of the 23rd year of Jiajing. Basically, all the major events have come to an end. All the deacons are busy summarizing affairs and summarizing the results in accordance with Zhao Ran's requirements.

    Zhao Ran has been in charge of Baima Court for one year, and the results are quite gratifying.

    Sixteen thousand acres of cultivated land and 587,000 acres of grassland were allocated for sale. At the same time, some gentry and merchants were attracted to Hongyuan to purchase 93,000 acres of grassland at market prices.  By the end of the year, a total of 8,600 shi of highland barley, 12,000 shi of millet, 490 dairy cows, and more than 17,600 sheep were harvested.  In addition, more than 160 horses were captured, smuggled, and purchased sporadically.

    At the same time, the continuous orders placed by Baimayuan attracted many merchants from Songfan, Dufu, and Long'an to Hongyuan for business. Thirty-nine shops were opened in the city, including restaurants, teahouses, inns, blacksmith shops, medicine shops, and grain stores.  Shops, silk and satin shops, salt and sauce shops, pawn shops, grocery stores and many other categories, and even a brothel will open at the end of the year.

    These shops are all rented by Haohuang. Meng Dengke welcomed guests with a smile on his face. In his account book, Haohuang had a surplus of 460 taels of silver for the first time this year.When the brothel opened, Meng Yingbin personally attended the ribbon-cutting. According to what he reported back, the women there were ordinary, with mediocre looks and no outstanding talents, but the business was booming.

    Zhao Ran said that he did not mind the opening of a brothel in Hongyuan. In his understanding, this was an important measure to solve the current gender imbalance between men and women in Hongyuan.  But he resolutely did not allow gambling houses to be opened, which was an important source of social lawlessness.

    The data that Zhao Ran is most concerned about is the population under its rule. At the end of this year, the total population under Baimayuan's rule historically exceeded the 30,000 mark, and the ratio of Han people to Party members reached two to one.

    The most important thing is that the big leaders with prestige and independent consciousness among the party members have been eliminated. The remaining leaders are no longer leaders in the original sense, such as Baozhong, who have a certain prestige but no absolute  Authoritative, but also devoted to the leader of the Taoist sect.

    As for Zehun, who had surrendered anyway, his prestige among the party members was ruined because he reported Li Yansi and Qiangxiong. Although he was released as early as June due to the conclusion of the case, he has been idle at home. Zhao Ran is also considering the remaining treatment for him.  Reuse of value.

    Zhao Ran continues to wait, waiting for the population of the people under his rule to increase. When the actual controlled population of Baima Court exceeds 40,000, he will begin to solve the problems of the three departments of Baima.

    Of course, the intrinsic basis for Hongyuan’s extraordinary development is the massive lending of charity funds. In order to obtain land, pasture, farm tools, seeds and other means of production, ordinary people paid a ten-year debt burden.

    As of December, the entire Hongyuan, including Baimayuan and all the people under its rule, has been saddled with a total of 76,000 taels of long-term debt, and needs to repay the principal and interest of 100,000 taels in ten years.  Among them, Baimayuan has to repay eighteen thousand taels, and each of the common people has a loan of more than twenty taels weighed on their heads.

    Zhao Ran is initially satisfied with the current personnel composition of the White Horse Court. What he is most satisfied with is that Yuan Hao, Lei Shan, and Meng Dengke, all subordinates with official backgrounds, are all good at specific matters.  In the Taoist sect, there are Taoist priests such as Li Zhike, Lu Fangzhu, and Zuo Xunzhao who support him. Therefore, in daily management, Zhao Ran can almost let go. What he really has to do is to raise the flag.  , point out the direction.

    At the year-end Taoist banquet of Baima Academy, Zhao Ran officially raised the flag - all affairs of Baima Academy from now on and in the future are for one purpose, which is credibility.

    For this purpose, he made a special trip to Songzhou to visit Du Tenghui, the supervisor of the prison.
