CHAPTER XXIV
Rong Niang, who rushed to hear the news, looked at Zhao Ran with the scorching sun on her head, standing at a construction site next to the Fujiang River and directing the digging of the ditch, and when he had a little time, she hurriedly went up, handed him a towel to wipe his sweat, and brought him a cup of herbal tea to quench his thirst.
Zhao Ran saw that her expression was different, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter, what do you think? By the way, your newborn younger brother is okay? I guess it's named Dong or something? Haha......
Rong Niang pouted and asked, "You really folded three years of longevity? Is it easy to count plum blossoms?" I heard my grandfather tell me, this is the secret technique of the Iron Crown Patriarch, you learned it from him? Don't use it in the future, okay? The Iron Crown Patriarch himself does not dare to use it easily...... If it hadn't been for my grandfather's obstacle, I would have come to the door and scolded him! I didn't dare to use it myself, but I passed it on to you......"
Zhao Ran glared at her: "Talking nonsense, it has nothing to do with the Iron Crown Patriarch! Besides, this is my cultivation path, the doorway inside, I'll tell you later." ”
Seeing that Rong Niang bit her lip and didn't speak, she was relieved: "Nearly a million people, can you watch them displaced? As long as I survive this great drought, I don't know how much merit I can get!"
"What's the use of asking for this vain merit? Do you still plan to follow the example of the sages and become holy?"
"Haha, maybe you can?"
As he was talking, a white light flashed on the heads of the two of them at the same time, and Zhao Ran asked, "Do you have something to do?" If you have something, you can go and get busy with you first, so you don't have to worry about it with me." ”
Rong Niang said: "I bought 10,000 stone of grain from Jiangxi, half of the rice and half of the noodles." The person who escorted the boat at my family asked, the fleet has arrived at the Yufu wharf, where do you think it is appropriate?"
Zhao Ran was overjoyed: "My good Rong Niang, you really understand me, it can be called timely rain." The water conservancy project is still a little late, delaying the spring ploughing, and it is too late to make up for it later, and now looking at the growth of crops in various places, the yield in some places will also be reduced by two percent, and some are afraid that the yield will be reduced by half. There is basically no surplus food in the people's homes, and you have made up for the big hole with these grains, and the people don't have to be too hungry this year and next year. ”
After praising Rong Niang twice, Zhao Ran took out the meridian bag that Rong Niang gave him and said: "You rush to Yufu first, bring the grain over, we will keep this 10,000 stone grain by our side, in short, stay away from the officials, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, what if someone really thinks about making a windfall? Let's not provoke the greed of human nature, and try to minimize the chance of them making mistakes." ”
Rong Niang got on the cloud haze lily and rushed to the Yufu dock to pick up the grain, and Zhao Ran replied to the nine girls: "Don't praise me, this is the duty that a Taoist monk should fulfill, don't forget that I am not only a monk of the Zongsheng Pavilion, but also the head of the Tianhe Palace." ”
The Nine Girls Fei Fu said: "That's not easy, how many monks will do your step?"
Zhao Ran said: "If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will be able to do the world, I dare not say that I am 'reached', but if you have this ability, you will try to be worthy of this ability." ”
The ninth girl asked, "How has the drought eased, and when will it be over?"
Zhao Ran said: "At the end of July, the construction of water conservancy can be completed, look at the growth of seedlings now, not very optimistic, all rely on manpower to feel that it is still a little less interesting, all busy is estimated to be after the autumn harvest, when the time comes, look at the results, ready to start helping the people for the winter." Although the Daomen and the government have reduced or exempted the money and grain in the drought-stricken areas, they still have to clean up the excesses and miscellaneous fees of the counties, and demand that the gentry and large households reduce or exempt the rent, in fact, this is the bulk of the burden on the people, and I am afraid that a few people will inevitably be killed at that time. According to me, you Longhu Mountain should find a way to pray for rain, it is better than anything else. ”
"What are you kidding? I told you before, the last person in my family had this ability was 80 years ago, and my father said that the ancestor probably failed to ascend because of this, and changed his life against the sky, and the cause and effect were difficult to reconcile. ”
"That person's Xuanci preached......
"Look at how old he is to preach, and he almost didn't survive the ...... of Shouyuan."
"Well, what's the matter with you?"
The ninth girl asked: "When will you be able to spare time recently?" Originally, I wanted to invite you to Longhu Mountain, but now it seems that it is better for me to go over, it will not take long, half a day is enough." ”
Zhao Ran calculated the itinerary and said, "It's no problem for half a day, for the next seven days, I will be in Dufu Bao County, you can come directly." ”
When I saw the Nine Girls, she was getting down from a strange flying magic weapon, and after coming down, she turned around and grabbed a female cultivator's waist and pulled the other person out of it.
This female cultivator is Pei Zhongxi, Pei Zhongxi's face is a little pale, and as soon as she came out, she was unsteady on her feet, stumbled to find a tree, bent down and retched for a long time. The ninth girl patted Pei Zhongxi's back to help her relieve her discomfort.
Zhao Ran said hello: "Ninth girl, what's wrong with Senior Sister Zhongxi?"
The ninth girl said: "Senior Sister Zhonglu can't sit in my family's mountains and rivers, and this matter also depends on me, circling in the sky too violently, I originally wanted Senior Sister Zhongxi to experience the characteristics of mountains and rivers." ”
Zhao Ran went over to take a look at Pei Zhongxi's condition, and slapped a black ginseng pill into her mouth, the black ginseng pill of Buddhism was faster than the Daomen Heart Nourishing Pill, and after a while, Pei Zhongxi's nausea disappeared, and he looked at Zhao Ran's face again.
Zhao Ran looked at the flying magic weapon of Longhu Mountain, and saw that the upper part was indeed the appearance of a copper tripod, and the supporting legs below were all in the shape of a mountain, and each mountain was sprayed with mist, forming a river-like jade belt, winding around the entire tripod.
"It's called Shanhe Ding? I haven't seen you use it before, so it's really interesting. It just so happens that I want to take a look at the situation in Baoxian, so please help me control it, I am tired. ”
"Don't you have clear feather treasure wings in your house...... All right...... It would be nice to get used to it and get used to it...... Okay, wait for us to come down. ”
The mountains and rivers were more than 100 zhang in the air, slowly passing through the route pointed by Zhao Ran, and Zhao Ran was carefully overlooking the ground while recording in a small notebook.
"This time, there are a few articles that I want to post on "Junshan Notes", I told Yu Zhichuan, but he said that this kind of sensitive article should be reviewed by you first. ”
"Fly low, ...... north A little westerly, okay......" Zhao Ran recorded again, and then said: "Let's go, continue to the east...... What article?"
The ninth girl handed over a stack of manuscript papers, and Zhao Ran took it and looked at it, a total of three articles. The first article is "Comparison of the Credibility of the World in the Twenty-three Years of Jiajing", and the signed author is "Boundless Falling Wood", Zhao Ran knows that it is Wang Wusen of Longhu Mountain. After a cursory look, the article analyzes the growth of credibility with a large amount of data, and finally comes to the conclusion that the credibility of all monasteries with monks as abbots has shown a significant increase in credibility.
"This article is very good, no problem. Zhao Ran crossed a tick on this article, returned it to the ninth girl, and continued to read the next one.
The second part is the interpretation of the "Pavilion Monks Performing the Ten Directions from Lin Zhao" issued by the general view of Jiajing in the 22nd year. The article is nothing new, it is equivalent to a policy popularization, and the signature is a Huangguan monk from a pavilion in Jiangxi, who is currently the abbot of a county.
Zhao Ran also ticked a box and handed it to the nine girls.
The third article is an article advocating the good results of the monk's performance in the Ten Directions Jungle, analyzing the merits and criticizing the slow progress of the current policy.
The author of the article is actually his real name, Guo Yunzhen, the chef of the general view.
