Chapter 2 Throwing stones and asking for directions

Just when the policies of the White Horse Academy were being implemented one after another, Zhao Ran invited Yuan Hao over.

"During this time, the Yuan Supervision Institute has worked hard, and now the construction of the official road, the western line is about to be completed, and the northern line will be completed soon, presumably in mid-July. ”

"The abbot is right, there are all the spirit monarchs of Dajun Mountain to show their might, it is really unimaginably fast! Therefore, as soon as the northern line is built, I plan to start preparing for the southern line. The southern route will detour through the four major mountain systems, and the route will be relatively long, so I will consider recruiting another 500 people. ”

"Coincidentally, you and I want to go to one place, and I am also about to discuss the southern route with you. I mean, can the men of the southern front be recruited from the three tribes?"

Yuan Hao's face was embarrassed: "I'm afraid this is not easy. It has been the third year that the abbot has come to the White Horse Temple, and when they know the situation of the three departments, they almost ignore our Taoist Academy, and they are self-sufficient in the mountains, at most going down the mountain to buy some necessities. ”

Zhao Ran said: "I think so, the so-called self-sufficiency, I'm afraid it's also a question, can they really be self-sufficient? I speculate that those who can be self-sufficient must be the leaders of the three departments, the real low-level people, who must live in poverty." ”

Yuan Hao said: "What the abbot said is true, but the root of the problem is here, the people at the bottom have no right to speak, even if they want to come out to work, they must have to speak out." ”

"Then talk to the leaders and let them let them go out to work. ”

"The difficulty is here, these big and small leaders regard the people as their own cattle and sheep, and it's too late for them to work for themselves, how can they be released to work for us?"

"They don't want to let people down, that's because we don't give enough money, we can offer a price that they can accept. For example, we are now recruiting people's husbands, men are given ten wen a day, women are given eight wen a day, and at the same time, food and accommodation are provided on the construction site. Can this be the case, who can release people to work, and we will pay whom?"

"Good idea!" Yuan Hao's eyes lit up, but then he hesitated: "I'm afraid that in this case, these people who came down to work will not work hard, and they need to send more people to supervise the work and urge them with whips......"

Zhao Ran shook his head: "If you use a whip to urge you to work, the hearts of these people will be farther and farther away from the Daomen." We can't do that, what is our purpose? It is to let them go down the mountain, get in touch with the outside world, and realize the benefits of Hakubain, not to make them feel hatred. ”

"The abbot said yes. ”

"But the problem you mentioned does exist, let them go down the mountain to work, but they are all lazy, such an atmosphere cannot be promoted. Well, let's think again. ”

The two sat opposite each other, thinking for a moment, Yuan Hao suddenly said: "I have an idea, it is better to give an additional five wen to each of the people who go down the mountain to work at the same time, and this money will be directly given to each of the people! Five hundred people, no more than three taels of silver are paid every day, even if it is two months, it will not exceed two hundred taels, I don't know if the abbot thinks it is feasible?"

Zhao Ran immediately high-fived: "Lao Yuan, yes! Maybe the problem of the three parts, this is a breakthrough! Tsk, what a good idea!"

Yuan Hao smiled: "Maybe it won't have such a good effect." ”

Zhao Ran said: "Whether the effect is good or not, we will only know until it is implemented, even if it does not reach the effect we expected, it is always a beginning, not to mention, maybe we can take the initiative to enhance this effect." ”

Yuan Hao nodded: "Lei Shan is now throwing his whole body and mind into the construction of the road, and I will go to this matter personally." ”

Zhao Ran vetoed: "No, you are a dignified supervisor, if you go, it will be too embarrassing for them." Let Fangtang's Renduo Baozhong go, I think he is quite clever. ”

Yuan Hao understood, in terms of identity, Bao Zhong is a party member, and he is also the head of a small tribe, so he can talk to each other on an equal footing. And taking a step back, he is just a fireworker in Fangtang, and if something goes wrong in the future, the White Horse Courtyard can correct it at any time, and even let him take the blame.

If Yuan Hao went in person, there would be no room for many things to turn around. It may seem unfair to say that the loyalty of the heart to the Daomen, but the reality is that way.

After explaining the matter, Zhao Ran said to Yuan Hao: "I'm going to Qingcheng Mountain, and it will take ten days to go back and forth, at most half a month, or the old way, if there is something important in the White Horse Courtyard that I have to come back, you will activate the flying talisman, and after I receive the flying talisman over there, I will rush back as soon as possible." ”

Zhao Ran is a Taoist walker in the Songfan area, just like the uncle of Dazhuo and Xiaozhuo in Long'an Mansion back then, he also left a one-way flying talisman for the master of the square hall of each county court. This is the most rudimentary version of the flying talisman, which can be stimulated, but it cannot be collected, let alone read. After it was stimulated, Zhao Ran knew where he needed to deal with it, so he just rushed over.

Returning to the Zongsheng Hall jubilantly, Zhao Ran first visited the teacher: "The teacher's retreat is for a year, which really makes the disciple's heart worry!"

Jiang Tenghe stroked his beard and said: "This time, I finally touched the edge of refining the void, hehe, many doubts in my heart in the past have also been answered, and now the heart of the Dao is mellow, and the Dao Law has risen sharply, and there will be more time to teach you a few in the future." ”

Zhao Ran said with a smile: "I am begging the teacher to teach the "Water Stone Dan Sutra". He turned his head and said to Yu Zhichuan: "Congratulations to Senior Brother Jin Dan Dacheng." ”

Yu Zhichuan scratched his head: "Rejoice and rejoice." "He was thirty-six years old at the beginning of April, and just after his birthday, he was sent into the small world of the main peak by Wei Zhizhen, and after less than two months of retreat, he married Jin Dan smoothly.

Before he entered the customs, Wei Zhizhen also told him a lot of experiences in knotting Dan, and listed more than a dozen ways to deal with emergencies. As a result, he did not encounter any of the thrilling difficulties listed by Wei Zhizhen, especially when he was refining the most difficult pass of spring, summer, autumn and winter, what was unclear about the upper and lower positions, the time sequence of the four directions, what chaos was lost, and the Dao heart was dusty, all of which did not exist for him.

It can almost be said that he was confused and settled on the golden pill, and he really lived up to the teacher's judgment of him - as long as he lived, he could go down step by step, and finally saw the edict of the heavenly court floating towards him.

Looking left and right, including Luo Zhiqing, Qu Fenghe, all the disciples of Louguan gathered here.

"The third senior brother is also going?"

Luo Zhiqing nodded: "I made an appointment with Dongfang Jing." ”

Zhao Ran was speechless for a while: "He went back to the Jade Emperor Pavilion to get married, third senior brother, you come to the door to fight, is it appropriate?"

Luo Zhiqing was a little puzzled: "Is it inappropriate?"

Wei Zhizhen explained on the side: "This time I don't blame the third junior brother, it was Dongfang Jing who took the initiative to make an appointment to fight, he made an appointment with me first, I didn't agree, he made an appointment with the third junior brother again." ”

"Why did you ask you to fight?"

"I guess the marriage is unhappy, I want to find someone to be angry. I'm not afraid to fight with him, but it's not appropriate to hurt him at someone's double cultivation ceremony. ”

"Senior brother, are you so sure you can win Dongfang Jing?"

"He's in a mess right now, and it's easy to win him. Even if the third junior brother goes up to fight him, it is possible to win. So I recommended the third junior brother. If the third junior brother plays, it doesn't matter if he loses, he doesn't lose the face of our Louguan, if he wins, he won't have the ability to seriously injure him, and everyone will look good on face at that time. ”

"Senior brother, you are really clear in your calculations......" Zhao Ran shook his head, didn't say more, got on the Qingyu Treasure Wings, followed the master, and flew towards Qingcheng Mountain with Master Lin and the two Kun Dao of Cao and Zhuang.
