In the twenty-fourth year of Longqing's reign, the number of monks in the Ming Dynasty has exceeded 300,000. Among them, the number of monks in Guange reached 100,000 for the first time, 58,000 monks in Shifang Jungle, 123,000 casual monks and aristocratic families, and 123,000 other monks. Thirty-five thousand people.
The so-called other monks refer to monks in the government, monks in the army, monks who have moved into various walks of life after resigning from the Shifang Jungle, as well as miscellaneous monks who have not yet received the influence of Taoism - mainly Yingzhou, Annan, and Champa and Myanmar.
In terms of practice methods, there are approximately 240,000 spiritual monks and more than 70,000 meritorious monks.
It is worth mentioning that in the past twenty years, since Zhao Ran obtained the Taoist Technique of Judgment, which can change the cultivation talents of others, he has not wasted this skill. In addition to changing the talents of people around him, he has also changed the talents of more than a hundred households in the army. The number of officers who have changed their talents has reached more than 160, which greatly enhanced the combat strength of the front-line Ming army.
Today's Ming army has 120,000 elite frontier troops with strong field capabilities, more than 800 officers from more than 100 households who have entered the spiritual practice through changing talents and being taught the law, and the three major military forces under the direct control of the Fifth Army Governor's Office. There are 80,000 soldiers in the camp, and more than 300 officers from more than 100 households have entered the practice. The combat power has increased rapidly. As for the various health centers in the mainland, Zhao Ran has no energy to take care of them for the time being.
There are 310,000 monks in the Ming Dynasty, more than double the number thirty years ago. Basically, they have entered the practice in the past twenty years. They are mainly concentrated at the level below Huang Guan, accounting for 95%. Those below Huang Guan , it is indeed enough in life.
Although only 5% have received golden elixirs, the addition of 10,000 golden elixirs is really shocking. The Taoist sect¡¯s current mobilization ability is far from what it used to be.
After Zhao Ran finished teaching this year's Taoist teachings, he has clearly felt the benefits of the large-scale popularization of the Taoism. Five more meritorious cultivators have been promoted to the master level this year.
Zhao Ran didn¡¯t find it strange that Zhao Zhixing became a master. What surprised Zhao Ran was that Song Zhiyuan also broke through to become a master!
After passing the visualization diagrams and empowerment chains to Song Zhiyuan and Zhao Zhixing in the Junshan Lecture Hall, Zhao Ran specifically invited them to the Junshan Mountain.
Along the bank of Junshan Lake, Zhao Ran said as he walked: "Yunlou Prison is ninety-seven years old, and there is no sign of breaking through the golden elixir. He has already passed the age limit. To survive until now, it can be said that he has taken good care of himself. Last month, he handed over a letter of resignation to Jian Jiguan, preparing to spend his old age peacefully, spend the few days he has with his family, and enjoy family happiness."
Song Zhiyuan is of course aware of what Zhao Ran said. He took up the post of governor of Xuanyuan Guan four years ago. The original governor was Du Tenghui. Du Tenghui had planned to resign four years ago, but his resignation letter was submitted to Jian Jiguan. When the Huguang Provincial Guanlao Jianyuan passed away, Zhao Ran did not agree to his resignation and directly recommended him to the Huguang Provincial Guanlao Jianyuan. The candidate was elected to the position of Supervisor of the Province at the age of eighty. Zhao Ran had only one idea, hoping that Du Teng would continue to use his remaining energy in this position to strive for pill formation.
And Du Tenghui lived up to Zhao Ran¡¯s support in the end. He was promoted to Jindan last year and was buried in Wudang Mountain. After passing this level, it is relatively easy to go from Jindan to Archmage. If Du Teng can advance to the level of Archmage, it means that he can at least live healthily to over a hundred years old. In these twenty years, I believe that the development of the Chaos Immortal Realm should be able to survive the Archmage Realm.
Going back to Song Zhiyuan, he is only two years younger than Du Tenghui, and he is also 82 years old this year. However, he is very impressive in cultivation. He actually broke through the realm of master training and increased his lifespan by forty years. Zhao Ran believes that , Song Zhiyuan has no problem at all entering the Chaos Immortal Realm. The only thing to consider is what kind of cultivation he will use to enter the Chaos Immortal Realm.
Song Zhiyuan sighed: "The Yunlou Supervisory Academy can be considered tolerant. If it were me, it would be difficult to give up this position. After all, if I stay in office for one day, I might hope to break through the golden elixir and extend my life. Alas I don't know when the Chaos Immortal Realm will be able to do so." Allow Huang Guan to move in."
Zhao Ran said: "Don't think about Huang Guan for the time being. It will be good if you can become a master in three to five years. It turns out that Elder Yan and Elder Lu from Huayun Pavilion are about to come to the line, and I am worried about this. Let's not talk about this for now. , now that the Xuanyuan Guanyuan position is vacant, between you and Lu Tengen, I prefer you. Originally, Lao Lu was more senior than you, and he arrived in Sandu much earlier than you. If I choose you, I'm afraid There are many people who are dissatisfied, but if you move up a level, Lao Lu is still a golden elixir, and if you sit in the position of prison, everyone will be convinced."
Song Zhiyuan nodded. He was not polite. If he could become a master trainer, he would already be one of the top practitioners in Shifang Jungle in Sichuan Province. Who else would be better off with the post of supervisor!
Zhao Zhixing was smiling at the side: "Congratulations to Senior Brother Lu. I still remember Senior Brother Lu's demeanor when he was in Xuanyuan Temple. Today he is finally in prison. It is really touching."
Song Zhiyuan said: "Ashamed, ashamed. Speaking of which, when I was patrolling in Wujiyuan, who could have thought of today? It's all thanks to Zhiran. Zhiran is my nobleman, Song Zhiyuan!"
Zhao Ran said to Zhao Zhixing again: "Junior brother Zhixing, you have also entered the realm of master training. It is not easy. I have been paying attention to what you have done. It is very good."
Zhao Zhixing was still humble, but Zhao Ran did not give him a chance and said: "Burma has been completely conquered, and now we need someone to lead the mission. Although Tianshi Yuanji has been working hard, he has a heavy burden on his shoulders and is really too busy. , there is an urgent need for a specialized talent to coordinate the missionary affairs throughout Myanmar. You also know that last year, the Shifang Jungle in Yingzhou and Annan were upgraded to temples, parallel to the Central Plains Province temple. How about it? Are you willing to go there? There are 12 million people. Last year, the credibility was only 16 million. There is a lot to be done. The only problem is that it is too far."
Zhao Zhixing immediately expressed his position: "This is a great good thing. If I make some merits, I will be able to reach the realm of the Great Master Refiner, haha. Thank you, Senior Brother Zhiran, for your care!"
Zhao Ran said: "Then you go home tomorrow and we will set off in half a month."
Zhao Zhixing asked: "Senior Brother Zhiran is also going?"
Zhao Ran nodded: ¡°Let¡¯s understand the situation.¡±
That night, Zhao Ran hosted a banquet in Dajun Mountain to entertain his two early allies. He also specially called Song Yuqiao back from Songfan Guards to have a few drinks with her cousin.
Half a month later, Zhao Ran said hello to all the true masters in the true master hall, and took the master's blue feather wings to go out.
Chen Shandao heard that Zhao Ran was going to inspect the south of Hengduan Mountain. He was not very relieved and planned to go together. However, after Zhao Ran informed him of the list of travelers, he did not rush over from Qixia Mountain.
No matter who sees such a list, they will be relieved: the Lord of Qingshan and Lu Zhi are two great demons who have transformed into demons for the second time, and Fairy Toad Palace and Mr. Xiaodi have transformed into demons once. With such a lineup, the world can conquer the world. .
What¡¯s more, after passing the Hengduan Mountains, there are still two landowners, Zhenren Lu and Zhang Yuanji, who have become landlords. What is there to be afraid of?
