In December, Yingtian Mansion has completely entered winter. The cold here is different from the cold when Zhao Ran was in northwest Sichuan. It usually feels fine, but if you stay in the house for a long time, the soles of your feet will hurt from the cold.
In Jiming Temple, the monks in the abbot's training class are not afraid of this kind of cold. The magic power in their bodies has long taken good care of their bodies, and they are almost unnoticeable by this level of cold. Unless Zhao Ran was lifted to a very high place by Zhang Laodao by his collar like last time, he would generally not be able to freeze.
But Dao Lusi still followed the rules and sent over charcoal stoves for each house, as well as thirty kilograms of charcoal. These charcoals are useless to the monks, but if they are to be sent back, they must have been used by the subordinate officials. Rather than doing this, it is better to take some of them out and give them to those in need publicly.
Zhao Ran thought it was too wasteful, so he mobilized all three training classes, hoping that everyone would collect all the charcoal sent by Daolu Division, conduct a donation event, and give it door-to-door to those in Yingtian Mansion who could not afford to burn charcoal. Poor people.
There was a rough list of poor households in Xuantan Palace. Zhao Ran asked them to send a list of people near Jilong Mountain. There were about eighty households on this list. Zhao Ran also asked Daolu Division to appoint Xu Li and The list of handymen was sent over, and there were more than fifty people, adding up to more than a hundred households. So the monks were divided into more than ten groups, and each group was responsible for distributing charcoal door-to-door. More than three thousand kilograms of charcoal were divided like this.
In addition to distributing charcoal, Zhao Ran also made suggestions, hoping that each group would be patient, approach the homes of poor families, and ask more about their difficulties. Even if they cannot be solved, it will be a spiritual comfort and encouragement.
At the same time, he also spent his own money to exchange a batch of Jiajing Tongbao from the Four Seasons Bank, worth one hundred coins, and distributed it to each group of monks and asked them to deliver it to each household. The silver itself was not much, less than twenty taels in total, but the effect was excellent. After hearing about it, Li Dayin also followed suit, exchanged it for a hundred taels, and gave it to all the people around Purple Mountain.
This matter has attracted the attention of many people in Yingtian Mansion. There are different opinions and mixed reviews. Some people say that this is a good thing, while others sneer at it and think that it is simply because the monks in the Lecture Hall are full and have nothing to do. There is so much work to do, and some people feel that this is just a way to gain fame and win people's hearts.
These rumors have also been fed back to Jiming Temple. In this regard, Zhao Ran¡¯s explanation is that many times, some things seem to be of little use when done, and the form appears to be more important than the content, but in fact, this form is often indispensable. As the abbots of Shifang Jungle, they all hold high positions. With this incident, it will serve as an example and guidance for the lay people of Shifang Jungle.
Soon, Zhao Ran¡¯s words were confirmed, and the Shangsan Palace began to mobilize monks to give charcoal to the people, especially Chaotian Palace, which was the most enthusiastic. Zhao Ran didn't know what Zhu Xianxian's intentions were, but he valued actions and results more, and expressed his affirmation of Shang Sangong's move.
Chunfeng and Guanyun of Lingji Palace were also assigned the task of delivering charcoal. While cursing the hypocrisy of the monks in Daolu Si Lecture Hall, the two Taoists packed two baskets of charcoal and delivered it door to door.
They were in a hurry, and they would not go in like Zhao Ran and others and ask for help, listen to everyone's difficulties, encourage others to actively believe in Taoism, etc. Instead, they would talk about where they were going to play in the past two days and kick them. He scolded others and opened the door, threw down the charcoal and walked away.
"Open the door, open the door for Master Dao! Hurry up, or Master Dao will kick the door down!"
"Master Taoist, what are you doing"
"Stop talking nonsense, carry on!"
"Huh? This is"
"Brother Chunfeng, when can Taoist Brother Xi give us an accurate message? The guy named Zhao has been in Yingtian for five months, and we can't do anything about him. Isn't this a great shame?"
"Brother Xi said that the envoy of Li Yuan asked him to consider the overall situation, and it is not appropriate to act lightly at this time."
"But what should we do with our feud? How many years has it been?"
¡°It¡¯s never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.¡±
"I can't wait for ten years. I've been holding this breath in my heart. I feel uncomfortable Is this the place?"
¡°It¡¯s a bit unclear. I¡¯m counting which house this is¡±
"No matter what, don't waste time! Open the door, open the door, and get out of here!"
"The Taoist elder is so noble, but there is nothing in the little man's house"
"Go away, are you here to rob something? I sent charcoal to your family out of kindness, but are you being treated as bandits by you guys with bad consciences? I'll deal with you later! Next, ten pounds of charcoal!"
"Master Taoist, I don't have enough money to afford it"
Soon, the ten households in charge had finished delivering the goods, and the two Taoists returned to Lingji Palace leisurely.??Continue the topic just now.
Chunfeng said: "What I meant by fellow Taoist surname Zhao is that he is now a monk studying in the Dharma Teaching Hall. If you touch him on the ground in Yingtian, it will be difficult to remove the suspicion. At the end of the year, he returned to Sichuan. We intercepted him on the road and arrived. The time is at your disposal."
Guanyun said bitterly: "Then you have to keep a closer eye. This guy is a bit clever. I'm afraid he might feel bad and hide his whereabouts in advance and run away."
Chunfeng said: "Don't worry, we'll just send someone to keep an eye on him during the two days at the end of the year."
Guanyun whispered: "Why don't we kill him before the time comes? The body turned into ashes and the ashes were thrown into the river. Who can find out that we did it?"
"Spring Equinox muttered: "If we discuss this matter again, it would be detrimental to the Taoist friends to preside over it."
Guanyun curled his lips: "Wang Sizhi is hesitant in doing things and is not happy. He is not as good as Xiaoyao By the way, there is also the envoy of Li Yuan. I think there is something wrong with his character and he is just sitting on the fence!"
Chunfeng said: "Keep your voice down"
While the two Taoists were talking, they returned to Lingji Palace. As soon as they arrived at the palace gate, they met Lan Daoxing, the great alchemist in charge of Lingji Palace.
Lan Daoxing squinted at the two Taoists and asked, "Have you finished giving them away?"
??Chunfeng hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to apologize: "You are here, old man. Why don't you go in and rest in the cold weather? We have finished delivering all the trails. It will be soon."
Lan Daoxing snorted and asked again: "We all went out together, why didn't the others come back?"
Chunfeng and Guanyun felt bad. They did listen to Lan Daoxing's admonishment before going out, asking everyone to learn more from the monks in the Lecture Hall of Jiming Temple, understand the difficulties of the people at home, and show the emperor's kindness. , if it can help solve the problem, try to solve it for others, and it is best to send some things. This is all the experience gained from Dao Lusi, and it is said that it is very popular with the people.
"But these two people just turned a deaf ear to it and didn't take it seriously at all. They didn't have time to buy any New Year's gifts for others, and they didn't have the time to chat with those shabby people, so they just threw the charcoal away.
But who would have thought that Lan Daoxing, who usually doesn't take care of things, would be waiting in front of the palace gate today?
