Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The spring plowing in the twenty-fourth year of Jiajing was successfully completed before the season, under the strict supervision of Yuan Hao, the Supervisor of Baima Yuan, and Lei Shan, the Duchu.  A total of more than 28,000 acres were sown in this spring plowing, 12,000 acres more than last year, and the growth momentum is encouraging.

    At the same time, the allocated grassland reached 820,000 acres, an increase of more than 200,000 acres compared with last year.

    Such a good situation is due to the continuous influx of population.  Especially on the 23rd of the first lunar month, a major earthquake occurred in Weizhou, the capital city. Even the Taoist priests of Baimayuan in Hongyuan City felt the earthquake.

    The earthquake affected three prefectures and fourteen counties, tens of thousands of houses collapsed and damaged, and more than 100,000 people were displaced.

    To this end, the entire northern Sichuan region was mobilized. Under the auspices of Xuanyuan Guan, the refugees were resettled and grain transported for disaster relief. Du Tenghui, on behalf of the Songfan area, accepted the resettlement of 30,000 refugees in one go.

    With a population of nearly two million, the capital felt that the population was too large and difficult to maintain. After receiving the Du Tenghui's commitment, the capital's Daomen and officials headed by Lu Tengen were immediately overjoyed and fully mobilized the victims to relocate to Songfan. As of the end of March, the actual number  There were more than 26,000 people in place, and Baimayuan swallowed 12,000 of them.

    In addition, Bai Geng, who is in Xingqing, has been buying Han slaves, and now the actual population under his control has exceeded 45,000.

    Of course, such leap-forward development has brought heavy debts to Hongyuan. In order to collect enough food for the newly relocated people, Baimayuan borrowed 20,000 silver from charity funds, bringing its own debt to 40,000 taels. The entire Hongyuan  Yuan's total debt exceeded one hundred thousand taels.

    However, in Zhao Ran's view, these new populations will all be stable sources of credibility in the future. It only needs to increase the annual credibility contribution value of each person to five gui, which is the credibility value of Baimayuan in the 24th year of Jiajing.  It will definitely exceed 200,000 Gui.

    In addition to contributing credibility points, these people are also contributing merit points to Zhao Ran. Credibility points are passively received and require people to pray sincerely, but merit points are actively absorbed. As long as you do good things, you can get them from the people.  Expropriation, there is no contradiction or exclusion between the two, and they can be obtained at the same time.

    Therefore, Zhao Ran immediately started the construction of roads and canals after the spring plowing was over.

    Last year, in order to attract party members to replace their fields, Baimayuan drew a road map for the construction of official roads and posted it on the white wall outside the door of the Taoist Temple.  In fact, this plan was not brought out by Zhao Ran to intimidate party members, but was actually planned.

    When allocating cultivated land and pasture, Baimayuan deliberately reserved all the land near the planned official road route and did not allocate it. The purpose was to avoid disputes during road construction.

    There are three official roads, one goes out from the west gate and connects with the Moon Crossing Hongyuan garrison, with a total length of thirty miles; one goes out from the north gate and connects with the Songfan Guards Camp in the Chewa Valley, with a total length of fifty-two miles; and there is another one from the north gate.  From the south gate, it connects Zhebo Mountain, Yanggong Mountain, Haizi Mountain and Dajun Mountain, with a total length of 120 miles.

    The terrain of Songfan is relatively flat, so the difficulty of road construction is much easier than that of Longan Mansion. Zhao Ran plans to complete the construction of the western and northern roads before the autumn harvest. Of course, for this reason, he asked Baimayuan to donate to Charity Fund again.  I borrowed two thousand pieces of silver.

    It's useless to have money without food being transported in. In addition to encouraging shops to deliver food to Hongyuan, Zhao Ran urgently mobilized the Nangui Taoists and continued to travel to Huguang, where food was abundant, relying on the large storage tips presented by Rong Niang.  After three trips, 2,400 shi of grain and rice were transported back, which initially eased the food crisis in Hongyuan.

    The first thing to start construction was the Thirty Mile Official Road on the Western Front. For this purpose, Baimayuan recruited 1,500 people, still using the old method of building roads in exchange for food.  On the day when work started, Zhao Ran specially made a field ceremony. He did not use magic talismans and spiritual fruits. He used ordinary talisman paper, ordinary fruits, and ordinary drinks. The cost did not exceed ten taels of silver.

    ¡° Even if we really have to spend thousands of taels of silver, we might as well invite the land and mountain gods out, but do the land and mountain gods have the professionalism and professional skills?  Can they just fix the road?  Zhao Ran was seriously skeptical about this.  If they are just transporting bricks and stones and leveling the land, Zhao Ran said that the cost of using them would be too high - in this regard, there are a group of free professionals in Dajun Cave Heaven.

    Therefore, the villagers were busy during the day, digging soil, regulating routes, and filling gravel. After a sleep, they found that the road section that was initially cleared during the day yesterday had been compacted, and the gravel, loose soil and other engineering work for the next section of road had been completed.  The biggest work has been done, and the efficiency has increased several times!

    ?According to the Taoist priests supervising the work of Baima Yuan, this is the effect of Abbot Zhao's rituals to invite gods.  Many civilians also showed up to prove it, saying that when they got up at night, they saw with their own eyes the various gods invited by Abbot Zhao, including the Nine Heaven Phoenix, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, the Kunlun Qilin, etc. Some people even swore that they were  I saw what Laojun was riding inThe Qingniu descended to the lower realm and helped build roads together.

    This caused a sensation, and the people simply stayed up all night. Everyone stayed up all night with their eyes wide open, waiting to see the various gods.  Of course, nothing was found, but just when people were confused, they discovered that there was another newly repaired road section five miles ahead!

    Many people left the construction site directly, without even bothering to eat, ran back to Hongyuan, and went straight to Baima Courtyard to offer incense and pray. Baima Courtyard once again set off a craze among believers to offer incense.

    While the construction of official roads was in full swing, in early May, Baimayuan issued an announcement announcing that in order to encourage childbirth, from that month onwards, every household with children under three years old would be rewarded with ten acres of grassland based on the number of children.  This decree came into effect that month and will last for three years!

    The whole Hongyuan became lively. People rushed to tell each other and came to Baima Courtyard to watch the announcement wall. After confirming the news, they immediately rushed home to start preparations.

    There are those who are not married and are busy looking for someone to marry; those who are married are working hard day and night, hoping to get into high school in one fell swoop.  Within three months, 890 families completed their marriages, and 390 women received the good news. It was a happy success.  At the same time, in front of the statue of Taoist Cihang in the White Horse Courtyard, there were even more believers and believers, praying that Cihang would open his eyes and send a child to be reincarnated.

    The accumulation of things one after another has caused the people, especially the people in Dangxiang, to gradually change their belief in Taoism from the initial resistance to being dispensable, then from being dispensable, to now gradually accepting it.  They discovered that belief in the Three Purities actually seemed to be quite effective.

    Of course, everything should not be too extreme, otherwise going too far is not enough. During this period, Baimayuan Fangtang received retribution three times. Three families had funerals in June. The deceased were all old men, all over sixty years old. It is really sighing.  .
