Song Fanwei was happy to insert his hand into the Red Plains Militia League, and he was even more happy to vacate a group of officer ranks to reward meritorious service, for example, Song Xiong picked up a bargain, promoted to the general banner, transferred from Ning Deshou's personal guards, and began to lead troops.

However, Song Xiong's own family is a little depressed, he has a cultivation, rare in the army, and the combination of military armor and blades is quite high, carefully prepared for more than a month, full of thought that he could fight a fight, cut off a few heads, but nothing was fished, even in the last battle of strangling the remnants of Bubazi on the ghost cliff, he could only wait obediently at the bottom of the mountain, listening to the sound of fighting on the cliff with envy.

Zhao Ran doesn't have a good way to do this, the army focuses on military merit, and he can come out as the general flag without making meritorious deeds, this is already the limit of what Ning Deshou can do, he can only sigh that Song Xiong is unlucky, otherwise with his ability, as long as he fights this battle, it is more than enough to rise to a hundred households.

The monks who participated in the great war also need to be rewarded for their merits, of course, this kind of reward has nothing to do with transfer, and the monks do not need it, and the rewards for them are mainly based on cultivation materials, including talismans, elixirs, magic weapons, gold stones, and so on.

The main ones who received the rewards were the Pei brothers and sisters, the master and apprentice of the intercession sect, the Lou Guanmen, and the scattered cultivators and spiritual cultivators who participated in the war. Because of the small scale of the battle, the rewards are not very rich, but for low-level monks and casual cultivators, it is very good.

For example, Qu Fenghe got a low-level self-defense magic weapon, which was very suitable for him to use; Guo Zhiwei got a Dan Sutra and couldn't put it down; Yang Zhiwen got a Tang Dynasty atlas that had nothing to do with cultivation, but it was like a treasure; Zheng Yutong got a bottle of Tranquility Pill, which helped her break through the realm and form a pill; the butcher and Shen Caizhu also each obtained a lot of magic talismans, which are still relatively rare for casual cultivation......

As for the spirit demons, Lei Xiao Pavilion gave a batch of pills to assist in cultivation, which is also no way, most of the spirit demons can't use talismans, and the magic weapons are not as easy to use as their own magical powers, as for the Daomen exercises and the like, it is even more vain, only the pills can still start to work.

What they care more about is actually the cultivation cave and the spiritual herb elixir, which have been obtained in the Dajun Cave Heaven, according to the fairy of the Toad Palace, in fact, the reward has been given a long time ago, and this time the war is just to defend the homeland and fulfill the obligation. Zhao Ran sent a lot of praise and praise for this.

It can also be seen from this that Lei Xiao Pavilion is still more attentive to the affairs of rewarding meritorious service, of course, it is not excluded that there is a factor of building view, who let Xu Zhenren be a real person in Lei Xiao Pavilion.

The Taoist priests of the White Horse Academy also made great efforts in this battle, whether it was killing the enemy in front or planning and mobilizing the money and food in the rear, they were active everywhere, and Zhao Ran also reported their merits to the Tianhe Palace.

But the merit is reported, and it is difficult to say how many rewards can be obtained, at most it is to give some silver rewards, or record military merits for future transfers, and if you want to get promoted now, it is impossible, there are not so many positions to choose from.

Why do you always say that the ass decides the head, Zhao Ran is in such a situation now. When he was in Ye Xueguan's big discussion, he proposed the strategy of integrating the Tao and the government, in addition to solving the problems at that time, it was also related to the fact that he had nothing to do with Hongyuan.

It has been five and a half years since the integration of the Dao and the Ya of the White Horse Courtyard, and Zhao Ran has been sitting on the chair of the abbot of the White Horse Courtyard for three full years, and the angle of thinking about the problem must have changed - he feels that the integration of the Dao and the Ya is not so convenient.

The inconvenience lies in two things, one is that everyone is super busy all year round, everyone picks up double affairs, it can be said that it is a miracle to be able to persist for three years, and if it continues, Zhao Ran is afraid that there will be problems.

Zhao Ran heard that in the eighteenth year of Jiajing, the prefect of Kunming hated someone who was inconsiderate of his subordinates, so that the upper and lower officials in the government turned around for several months, without day or night.

One day, he also temporarily summoned a county magistrate to the government to discuss the matter, the county magistrate had not closed his eyes for three days for flood control, and after rushing all the way to Kunming, he couldn't help but take a nap in the deliberations, and was insulted and reprimanded by the Qiu prefect's government, and stripped off his official uniform on the spot to be participated.

When these things spread, the common people praised the prefect for being a big man, and he himself had a good reputation of being diligent and loving the people, and he was promoted to the right government of Yunnan, which was simply a black veil on his head that dyed the life and future of his subordinates.

Zhao Ran has always been very puzzled, can officials who do not even cherish their own subordinates really love the people? Do they know what it means to love the people? What do they love? Sure enough, within two years, the case of Qiu Buzheng's huge embezzlement of ink broke out, shocking the world.

Zhao Ran despised someone back then, and even more despised those bureaucrats who insulted their subordinates in public at every turn, and threatened to "take down your black gauze hat", "wait for me to impeach you", and "replace people if I can't do it". I can't think of any use for saying these things in public except for the sake of fame. As the saying goes, a dog that bites doesn't bark, and people who are really capable of solving problems don't need to do this at all.

But in the past two years, the White Horse Courtyard has followed his footsteps, desperately day and night, and has turned around many times, since Yuan Hao and below, all Taoist priests have had the experience of being tired and sick, which makes him secretly blame himself when he thinks about it.

The Taoist government of the White Horse Courtyard is one, and the Taoist priests are one and the same, this situation will definitely not be sustainable, so he takes this opportunity to separate the Taoist Yuan and the county government, fill the manpower completely, and make Hongyuan and the other three counties of the Song Domain consistent. In this way, there are more people, and everyone will have less to share, so you can take a breather.

Another inconvenient rule is that there are few posts, and if a county government can be divided, there will be twice as many vacancies, and when there is a meritorious service, it will be easy to do so.

When Zhao Ran proposed to Du Tenghui and Xia Ji, the two big figures of the Song Domain agreed very much, no matter how high-sounding the words of approval were, what really moved them was the extra functions and the upper and lower systems that had been reorganized after separation.

Originally, the two families were in charge of a single Taoist institute, but if the separation was successful, then the number of functions and vacancies would inevitably be doubled, and the powers would also be increased, so why not?

Moreover, with the development situation of Hongyuan, there are now more than 100,000 people registered, which is an out-and-out county, and there will inevitably be expansion regardless of the position of the Taoist Academy or the rank of the county government.

After some urgent consultations, the Governor's Office of Western Sichuan and the Tianhe Palace submitted documents respectively to the Sichuan Political Envoy and Xuanyuanguan, and at the same time, the two bigwigs also began to step up their activities in order to seek the early approval of Shangfeng.
