Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Regarding the flood in Jiangyou County, Jin Jiu and others' opinion is to provide relief to the victims who fled into Junshan as soon as possible - in fact, they have already started to do so.  At the foot of the western foothills of Xiaojun Mountain, Jin Jiu and others set up a relief station and built some simple thatched greenhouses to accommodate dozens of families who entered the Junshan area.

    In order to prevent these victims from rushing into the basin between Xiaojun Mountain and Jundu Mountain and snatching or destroying tens of thousands of acres of food that was about to be harvested, Guan Er and others organized villagers from three villages and set up checkpoints at various intersections.  , to closely protect the grain fields.  Fortunately, this basin is surrounded by mountains, and there are only six or seven gaps that connect to the outside world. With about ten villagers scattered in each gap, it can be dealt with for the time being.  But if the disaster continues to be serious and victims rush in like crazy, the situation will definitely be out of control!

    Jin Jiu's suggestion is to immediately purchase grain from eastern counties, even Boryeong Prefecture, Tongchuan Prefecture and other places to cope with the likely food shortage; at the same time, increase the organizational strength of Zhuang Ding and recruit people aged between 40 and 50.  The men have also organized themselves to double the number of villagers, strictly guard the mountain pass checkpoints, and resolutely block the victims out of the Junshan area; finally, they must mobilize all the people who can participate in labor as much as possible to rush to harvest autumn grain.

    Jin Jiu finally said that he, Guan Er, Lu Jin, Lin Shuangwen and others had already discussed and planned to take out their own money. He thought it would be slow for the time being. The total amount of money was more than 3,000 taels, and he planned to give it to the Charity Hall.  Manager Li immediately went to handle the matter of purchasing grain.  Fortunately, the incense silver for the first year after the establishment of Junshan Temple can be reduced or exempted, which can be regarded as a small burden. However, Jin Jiu still hopes that Zhao Ran will come forward to make an offer and reduce the incense silver for the second year.

    Looking at Jin Jiu talking with a solemn expression, Zhao Ran was quite pleased. The second Guyang County official who was a dandy two years ago has now gained a bit of calmness out of thin air, and is doing things more and more in an orderly manner.  What made Zhao Ran most certain was the deep concern for the livelihood of the people under his rule revealed in Jin Jiu's eyebrows. If it were in the past, how would Jin Jiu care about the lives of others?

    After waiting for Jin Jiu's report, Zhao Ran nodded, fully affirming Jin Jiu and others' efforts and achievements in temple affairs, civil affairs, disasters, etc. during this period, and expressed his gratitude to them for taking the initiative to use their private bank for public use.  He was highly praised for his righteous deeds.  Zhao Ran was very familiar with these official words and procedural words, and he could easily pick them up without any effort.  Although they are all clich¨¦s, they are indispensable. After he said these words, the expressions of Jin Jiu and others relaxed a lot. Zhong Sanlang, who had seen the least, even grinned. The atmosphere in the hall began to gradually improve.  .

    After a pause, Zhao Ran started to talk about the actual content.

    "This is the first year that Junshan Temple was established. As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. But what I want to say to you is that I hope you will regard Junshan Temple as your real home. I, Zhao Ran, am alone, and the two elders in my family have passed away.  , now established in Junshan Temple, Junshan has long been regarded as his home. Junior Brother Jin and Second Brother Guan both come from wealthy families, and Brother Lin and Lu Jin also have very well-off families. I don¡¯t care what you thought before, but I need  What you are thinking carefully about is which path is more suitable for you, creation or inheritance. It's okay for Saburo to say that his home is in Junshan. I also hope that you can understand that only as long as the big family in Junshan is good, your small family can be better  ¡­¡±

    "Actually, I have been thinking about something. I didn't consider it maturely before. But since it's a coincidence, I don't have to weigh it anymore. Let's make an agreement with you today. You all know that the tens of thousands of acres of wasteland in the Junshan area,  I signed a document with Guyang County. Within fifty years, I will have the final say on this wasteland. According to the agreement with Kong County Master, I need to pay two buckets of grain per mu of land this year and next year. Starting from the year after next,  Then it will be reduced to one dou, and after ten years it will be three dou. How should the people pay me? My idea is that in the first three years, each household should pay two dou per mu, and after three years, it will pay three dou. After ten years,  After paying five dou of grain, after deducting the grain tax paid to the government, the difference in price is mine. In this way, not counting the first two years, starting from the third year, it is equivalent to the people keeping 50% and the government taking 30%. I, Zhao Ran,  Get 20%"

    "But I have changed my mind now. One person cannot do everything, and I cannot build a family by myself. I am a monk and need to pursue the path to immortality. I don't have so much time to take care of general affairs. It can be said that  , Junshan Temple can be so successful this year, it all depends on the efforts of everyone here, especially the few times I have left, you have proven your ability. So I plan to use 20% of my own income to cooperate with  Everyone, please buy shares"

    Zhao Ran took a sip of tea, gave everyone time to think, and then asked: "You just said that you are going to use your own money to deal with the disaster in neighboring counties. That's good, but it's not me to just eat without spitting out."  Style, please give me a count and see how much money each of you paid?"

    Jin Jiu had already woken up, his eyes were shining, and he said loudly: "I had an accident."??Two hundred taels!  Well, add another eight hundred taels!  "

    Guan Er also responded quickly: "I gave out one thousand five hundred taels, and I will add another five hundred taels."

    Lin Shuangwen said: "I am three hundred taels, plus two hundred more."

    Lu Jin hadn¡¯t recovered yet and muttered: ¡°I am two hundred taels, what do you mean?¡±

    Zhong Sanlang's face turned red and he lowered his head without daring to say anything. His family was poor and could not afford a penny.

    Manager Li waited until everyone had counted, coughed twice, and said cautiously: "Zhao Miaozhu, I have fifty taels here, but the money is a little short Can you buy one share?"

    Zhao Ran counted with his fingers and realized that this was four thousand seven hundred and fifty taels, so he said: "Let's do this, I will lend Sanlang another fifty taels, and we will also leave 200 taels to Jin shopkeeper of Jinji shop. This will be five  One thousand taels. I added five thousand taels to make up ten thousand silver. I divided fifty taels into one share and discounted it to 200 shares. I took 50%, Junior Brother Jin and Second Brother Guan each took 20%, and Brother Lin got 50%.  , Lu Jin and Shopkeeper Jin each have two cents, Sanlang and Manager Li each have half a cent. From now on, all profits from Junshan will be distributed according to this method."

    While talking, Mr. Xu and his wife brought a table of food, including hot soup cakes, two plates of pickles, a plate of cooked meat, and a pot of meat buns.

    Zhao Ran then asked everyone to sit down around the table and eat together.

    Jue Yuan sat next to Zhao Ran, tilting his head and thinking about something while eating. Zhao Ran didn't ask any more questions.

    After eating, Zhao Ran took off the plate, wiped his mouth, and continued: "Let's continue. What I just said is the output of the fields, but that is not all. It is true that agriculture is the basis.  Yes, but agriculture alone can only fill their stomachs, and the people still cannot get rich. If you want to get rich, industry and commerce, including the service industry, must be established"

    Jin Jiu was full of doubts and asked: "Merchants have always exploited profits. I'm afraid this is not good, right? What are the industries and services that Miaozhu mentioned?"

    Zhao Ran: "Well, workshopsworkshops are industries. The valley in the north of Mount Jundu is rich in clay. We can build a ceramics workshop. There are so many big trees in the mountain. We can build a furniture workshop. Let's not talk about other things. Let's just talk about these two businesses.  , we can start making it after the autumn harvest. After the things are produced, in addition to meeting their own needs, they can also be exported and sold outside. Just now, Junior Brother Jin asked, saying that merchants are taking profits, but after our things are produced, merchants still have to sell them outside.  You can¡¯t go there, so business is conducive to transportation As for the service industry, well, when there are more people in Junshan in the future, there will be inns, shops, restaurants"

    Guan Er interrupted: "Butterfield heir!"

    Jin Jiu, Lu Jin, Lin Shuangwen and others immediately came to the big room and laughed slyly.

    Zhao Ran patted his forehead, coughed twice, brought the topic back, and continued: "In addition to the income just mentioned, the medicinal materials in Xiaojun Mountain and Jundu Mountain can also be harvested and sold, which is also everyone's profit. In addition,  , the incense and money from Junshan Temple are also included Maybe there won't be any improvement in a year or two, but as long as everyone works together, all these outputs will be profitable, and these profits will be as we just said  Shares are distributed.¡±

    As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Jiu and others cheered in unison, and the room was really filled with joy.
