Faced with Bai Tengming's distress, Zhao Ran could only say that you, the old man, have too many problems to consider, comforted Bai Tengming for a few words, and then asked: "The main feasts have been completed, when does the prison plan to return to Long'an to reunite with the family? "
Bai Tengming shook his head: "I have just been here for more than a month, how can I go back? I told my family when I came to take office that I will not go back in the first month of this year. Zhiran can go and do whatever he has to do in Zongsheng Hall. Tianhe Palace has I'll help you guard it. I'm getting old too. I'm afraid my body won't be able to bear it in a few years, and I'll consider resigning then. I'll try to help you for as many years as I can. By the way, Hongyuan Dao Have you prepared the candidates for the various responsibilities of the government office?"
Zhao Ran handed over a list: "Based on my four years of experience in Hongyuan, this list can give the prison some reference."
Bai Tengming took the list and read it carefully.
Baima Courtyard: abbot Qu Fenghe, supervisor Lei Shan, governor Lu Zhicheng, governor Li Zhining, and cook Zuo Zhizhen.
Hongyuan County Government Office: County Magistrate Gu Tengfeng, County Magistrate Zhang Congan, and Chief Registrar Longtan.
Bai Tengming asked: "Lei Shan is originally from the government, and Gu Tengfeng is from our Taoist sect. How come they changed their positions?"
Zhao Ran then talked about the tacit agreement reached between Tianhe Palace and the Governor's Mansion in Western Sichuan and the cross-fertilization of personnel, and then said: "Starting from Hongyuan County, the Du Supervisory Yuan originally planned to keep the ultimatums of people above the county government register. , and will gradually be implemented in four counties in the future.¡±
Bai Tengming nodded and said: "This is a good idea, and it has far-reaching significance for strengthening the Taoist sect. Is this Zhiran's idea?"
"Just a small suggestion."
"Why don't you see Yuan Hao?"
"Yuan Hao is now serving as the regiment training envoy. Jiang Ruobing, the secretary-general of the Governor-General's Office in Western Sichuan, has been promoted to the Wumeng Prefecture. Governor Xia plans to let him take over as secretary-general. Now he has reported it to the Chief Envoy Department and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, waiting for approval."
Bai Tengming said: "This is a good thing. It shows that Zhiran's achievements when he was in charge of Hongyuan are obvious to all. Well, I don't have any objections to the White Horse Court. The county government still needs to discuss with Governor Xia, and finally needs his consent. , we can only suggest.¡±
Then he said: "Zhi Ran is going to take a rest for half a month? You worked really hard on Ye Yunxuan's case a while ago, so you should rest for a while. I'm here to keep an eye on you, so don't worry. , will also wait for you to come back to discuss it."
Zhao Ran smiled and said: "When you say this, it seems that you are giving up your choice. This is not acceptable. You are a high-level Taoist at the provincial level. Not only the whole province is paying attention, but the general view is also watchingI said it's Xiu Mu, but actually I can¡¯t rest. Last year, the Zong Sheng Hall inspected the practicing disciples in Hongyuan and got some results. This year it¡¯s Xiaohe County¡¯s turn. I will choose a county every year and strive to rotate every three to five years to form a healthy reserve of disciples for the next generation.¡±
Bai Tengming said: "Speaking of which, my grandson Bai Yu really doesn't know anything. He insists on being squeezed into the Huayun Pavilion despite not being able to join such a good sect as Lou Guan Haha, I'm not saying that Master Du Lian's disciples are not good. But Lou Guan has Zhiran after all, so let¡¯s get closer, right?¡±
Zhao Ran said: "I heard that Bai Yu entered the Taoist realm at the end of last year? It has only been five years, and such an achievement is not easy."
Bai Tengming said: "But I can't compare with Qu Fenghe. Qu Fenghe entered the Taoist sect more than half a year later than him, but he already entered the Huangguan at the end of last year! My grandson has always been competing with Qu Fenghe. Last month I heard This news is good, I was finally dumbfounded.¡±
Zhao Ran sighed: "Feng He entered the country so quickly, it was really unexpected. To be honest, even I can't believe it."
Bai Tengming waved his hand: "Forget it, I am too old and like to nag, so don't mind it. In fact, looking back, I am a great blessing to be able to enter cultivation, but I am not satisfied yet. , People, if you look at the height of a mountain, you have to look at Shu from a long distance, haha."
In the first month of the twenty-seventh year of the Jiajing reign, the Zongsheng Hall launched a hard and busy process of selecting disciples in Xiaohe County. After half a month of hard work, a total of three young men with excellent qualifications were found and introduced directly to the mountain gate of the Zongsheng Hall. Thirteen young men with no qualifications will be admitted to Guishuyuan Sutra Hall to study sutras, and those who stand out among them will wait to receive bone setting.
The foundation of a sect is accumulated year by year by several disciples. There is no shortcut.
What is worth celebrating is that in the sixth year after forming the elixir, Luo Zhiqing began to retreat to the realm of the Archmage. The talisman he chose to place his spiritual consciousness on was, like his senior brother Wei Zhizhen, a seventh-level talisman named Chongjiang Duezhang Talisman.
This precious seventh-level talisman was a gift from Zhao Liniang and was refined by Taoist Songxue himself. Taoist Songxue has extensive knowledge of ancient and modern times, and is especially good at calligraphy and painting. He integrated his understanding of calligraphy and painting into his practice and refined the famous "Ten Sons of Xuanyuan", which became the magic weapon of the Huang Ting lineage. The Chongjiang Overlapping Peaks talisman is also drawn into the talisman. The river drawn in the talisman is vast and stretches, and the mountains are overlapping and meandering. After casting the spell,Gathering the power of three rivers and the weight of nine mountains, we are taking the path of defeating ten societies with one force. This is what is called a heavy sword without an edge, and a great skill without craftsmanship.
Zhao Liniang had always kept this talisman close to her. Seeing Luo Zhiqing's fighting style, she thought it suited him very well, so she took it out as a gift. Sure enough, after Luo Zhiqing obtained the talisman, once he explored the magic power, he felt that it fit him very well, and he immediately decided to make it his natal talisman.
While Zhao Ran was happy for his third brother, he was also vaguely anxious about the progress of his own practice. It had been three years since the Golden Elixir of Merit and Virtue was completed, and it was still far from being perfected. If he wanted to hone himself until he was in line with his destiny, he might not know how long it would take. Year.
There are two difficulties that originally hindered his practice. One is that the power of merit cannot meet the needs of the Golden Core Realm, which is much larger than the Huangguan Realm. The other is the limitation of the amount of Jingyuan generated. The second problem has been solved to a large extent by Ye Yunxuan. The refining efficiency has been doubled, which is equivalent to doubling the output of Jingyuan.
Therefore, the biggest problem now is that the absorption of merit power is somewhat behind. If I can collect a few more huge amounts of merit power such as Xuanci Enlightenment, Zhang Dazhen and Qingjun Ascension, and then use all my energy to refine it, maybe this process can be compressed to within two years. But those two times were "windfalls", something you can only come across but cannot ask for. You can't expect to get it again, and there aren't that many monks in the world ascending.
"And if you want the entire Song vassal people to provide you with stable merit power, it requires long-term subtlety. It is destined not to be accomplished overnight, and there is no point in rushing.
After settling this year¡¯s new disciples, Zhao Ran returned to Tianhe Palace in mid-February. Twenty-three years before Jiajing, as a governor, if you really wanted to recuperate, you could even sit idle for months and months, and just attend the meetings of the three capitals convened by the prison to vote on a few proposals.
But since the monks took over the system operation of Shifang Jungle, in order to balance the pressure brought by the monks as abbots on the lay people, the functions of the three capitals have been clearly strengthened, requiring the three capitals in the palaces and courtyards in various places to assume corresponding responsibilities.
For example, the Du Guan will usually be in charge of the living room, patrol room and square hall; the Du Guan will be in charge of the Sutra Hall and the Dianzhu Room, and the Du Kitchen will be in charge of the number room, accounting room and warehouse. As a result, Sandu has become a veritable deputy of the prison.
Therefore, it is not easy for Zhao Ran to "steal half a day's leisure". There are many things that need to be dealt with by him, and of course he is not willing to steal half a day's leisure.
