Chapter 3 Asking for money, people, and land

ps: It's so little to subscribe, okay, another chapter in the evening.

Junshan Temple is a dojo that is about to be set up in Wuji Temple, of course, this is with the consent of the three capitals of the West Zhenwu Palace, but the Bai Du of the West Zhenwu Palace has not had time to inform Zhao Ran, so he caught Zhao Ran off guard.

The reason why it is called Junshan Temple is because the jurisdiction demarcated by Wuji Yuan is just west of Cointreau Mountain and east of Xiaojun Mountain. Zhao Ran pondered, isn't this exactly the tens of thousands of acres of wasteland I contracted? Okay, it turned out that I was tossing on my own family's turf? This is to let me collect my own incense money, and I have to pay a share to Wuji Courtyard when it's over?

Looking at Dong Zhikun's serious face and Xu Tenglong's meaningful smile, Zhao Ran suddenly had no $. (m) said.

However, he was ready to be put in small shoes, and now that the first pair of shoes was thrown over, he thought it was still within the range of bearing, so he endured it. It's only a few hundred taels of silver a year, and with Zhao Ran's net worth, there is no problem in paying off for hundreds of years at a time. In fact, from another point of view, it is not bad to be a temple on your own territory, but the county government can't control it, and you have the final say on everything, and the Daomen government has to pick it up on its own shoulder.

Zhao Ran's mind is not on the struggle for power now, and the big shì at this moment does not allow him to continue to jump up and down, although he is a little aggrieved, but he bends down to accumulate strength, he still understands this truth. He has only one plan in the near future, Haosheng "ponders" his qi sea into shape, and then enters the Taoist realm as much as possible, compared with fighting for power and profit, this is the top priority at the moment.

The new acquaintance Chen Zhizhong has not yet resigned from the position of pawn because Dong Zhikun was not popular in Wuji Academy before, but now he has suddenly taken the position, and there is no candidate who can be promoted in the bag. Therefore, Chen Zhizhong, who had just "moved closer" to him, deliberately hung it in the air to attract more "aspiring" Taoist friends to move closer to him.

When Zhao Ran went to the pawn house to go through the relevant procedures, Chen Zhizhong sighed and said, "Senior Brother Zhao, Wuji Courtyard has suffered a big change. Senior brother, I was also a little disheartened, and I had the intention of begging to go......"

Zhao Ran was amused in his heart, but his face was full of heaviness, and he nodded his head to show that he understood completely, while waiting to hear "but".

“...... However, after all, I have paid for Wuji Courtyard for more than ten years, and I really can't bear to watch Wuji Courtyard sink like this, so I have to fight hard and do my best for all the people in the courtyard and for the people in the county! ”

Zhao Ran sighed and said, "Senior Brother Chen. In the future, Wuji Courtyard is bound to be more sinister, senior brother must hold on, there is an old saying in my hometown, 'insist on the green mountains and do not relax', junior brother, I am about to travel far away to Cointreau Mountain, I can't stay here to help senior brother, so I will use this word of encouragement!"

Chen Zhizhong was so moved that tears were about to come out, and he shook Zhao Ran's shoulders vigorously. It seems to prove his determination: "This is an excellent statement of my heart! After you go to Cointreau Mountain, if you have any difficulties, just come to the senior brother, and I will do my best to prevent the junior brother from being wronged in the slightest!"

Zhao Ran sighed again - he was already sighing and sighing that he was about to lack oxygen: "The wind knows the strength of the grass, and the country is in chaos...... The courtyard is chaotic and sees Zhongliang. Thank you, brother, I really have a lot of difficulties, and I hope my brother will help!"

Chen Zhizhong nodded heavily: "Senior brother, please speak." ”

Zhao Ran immediately lowered his head and began to count his fingers: "This is going to Cointreau Mountain, every qiē is a grass creation, this temple construction fee, daily management fee, Xuanhua religious fee, scientific instrument consumption fee, etc., all need help from the hospital......"

Chen Zhizhong's eyelids jumped: "...... Hmmm......."

Zhao Ran continued to snap his fingers and said, "There are more." I inquired just now, Longshan Temple has five Taoist priests and ten fireworker monks, junior brother, I don't want more, as long as I compare Longshan Temple......"

Chen Zhizhong's eyelids jumped again: "...... Uh......"

"Also, in order not to be misunderstood during the sermon, I think we should first demarcate the specific boundary between the Taoist temple and the Taoist temple, such as the jujube forest and Chongmagou in the northeast of Cointreau Mountain, although it is not within the scope of the wasteland I contracted, but it is at the foot of Cointreau Mountain, separated from the Chongma River outside the mountain, and the Taoist temple is very inconvenient to manage, so it is better to assign it to the Taoist temple......"

“......”

In the end, Zhao Ran took out a list from his arms, which listed all the conditions he had just proposed, Chen Zhizhong had a smile on his face, and repeatedly said that he would try his best to meet it, and then sent Zhao Ran out of the pawn house with great enthusiasm.

Chen Zhizhong returned to the table and sat down, wiped the sweat stains on his forehead, copied the paper sheet and read it again, and then picked up the pen and began to smear and revise. First, the start-up fee of 500 taels was crossed out and 100 taels were written, and then the establishment was changed to three people, and the pyrotechnics were also cut in half, and then continued to revise other matters......

Zhao Ran left the pawn building room and went straight to find Liu Zhiguang, who was a high meritorious, and when he came to the door of the scripture hall, it was the end of class. The Taoist boys went out one after another to prepare for lunch, Jin Jiu was also among them, he saw Zhao and hurriedly hurried over, saluted and asked, "Senior Brother Zhao, how is it?"

Zhao Ran nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm looking for Liu Gaogong for this matter." ”

Jin Jiu immediately moved his eyes: "That's good, that's good!" That Zhang Ze has been extremely rude in front of me these days, seeing that he is about to be punished, and if he also comes to the scripture hall, where will I have a good life. It's better to follow Senior Brother to go outside and have a good time!By the way, Senior Brother, when are we going to leave for Longshan?"

"It's not Longshan, it's Junshan, the courtyard will set up a Junshan Temple between Jundu Mountain and Xiaojun Mountain, let me go to be a temple blessing. ”

"Huh, the wasteland?" Jin Jiu was a little dumbfounded.

"Why? Don't want to go?"

Jin Jiu hesitated for a moment, and saw that Zhao Ran had been staring at him with a smile, so he immediately gritted his teeth and said, "It's better to go than to stay on the mountain and be angry!"

Zhao Ran patted Jin Jiu's shoulder and said with a smile: "Where do you think so badly?

After fooling Jin Jiu for a few words, Zhao Ran entered the Jingtang matching room, and happened to see Liu Zhiguang, who was a member of the high merit. Liu Zhiguang paced around the room irritably, saw Zhao and asked, "Why are you here?"

Zhao Ran and Liu Zhiguang's friendship was extraordinary, and he directly recounted what had just happened, and Liu Zhiguang said with disdain: "Hypocrisy! A villain! Before, the righteous and awe-inspiring said how to do it, but in the blink of an eye, he voted for the surname Dong, and he was two-faced and stabbed! What is it! Don't believe his nonsense, such a big matter, where can he call the shots? Look at it, he promised lightly, and it would be good if he didn't give you half of it!"

Zhao Ran smiled: "I also know that it's not up to him to have the final say." As long as I can get half of it, I'll be satisfied, and I can almost accept it. Although Zhao Ran also looked down on two-faced guys like Chen Zhizhong, he would not give up dealing with him because of this, especially when he was at a disadvantage, he didn't mind continuing to communicate, at least Chen Zhizhong did not completely break off relations with him, which left room for borrowing.

Zhao Ran proposed to call Jin Jiu to Junshan Temple, Liu Zhiguang agreed without saying a word, and asked Zhao Ran to choose again, as long as there is a favorite Taoist boy, just take it away.

Zhao Ran asked Liu Zhiguang what kind of sullenness he was having here, and Liu Zhiguang didn't hide it, and said: "This year, Xizhenwu Palace gave Wuji Courtyard four places to receive the Dao, and I have a cousin from my lay family who wants to enter the Taoist Gate to learn the Tao, but two days ago, I mentioned it to Dong Zhikun, and he actually said that he couldn't go straight to the Jingtang without firework experience. Okay, I agree, let's just follow the rules, let him be a fireworker first. But just now Luo Du told me the list of candidates who are going to be punished this year, and his own nephew has also not undergone firework training, so why can he also be punished?"

After listening, Zhao Ran was speechless, let's not talk about the question of whether it is dark or not, the key is that this kind of thing can actually be operated better, and there is no need to be so rough and direct at all, so as to arouse Liu Zhiguang's anger, which shows that Dong Zhikun is not even the most basic political skills, and he really lacks experience.

comforted Liu Zhiguang a few words and persuaded him not to clash with Dong Zhikun face-to-face for the time being, and Zhao Ran left the scripture hall. After that, Zhao Ran went to visit Sandu and the deacons one by one, everyone's attitude towards him was not bad, and he did not deliberately avoid it because he lost power, it seems that Zhao Ran left a little too deep impression on everyone before, including Jiang Zhiheng, they are not willing to have conflicts with him on the surface, and they are all afraid of whether he will make a comeback in the future.
