Chapter XVIII Inspections

When the two foremen saw Zhao then, they were trembling with excitement, and together with all the apprentices and craftsmen in the entire workshop, they fell to their knees and kowtowed on the ground, not wanting to get up at all.

Zhao Ran couldn't, looked at Jin Jiu, and wanted Jin Jiu to persuade these two foremen. Jin Jiu made a gesture of stroking the top, Zhao Ran remembered, smiled and gently stroked the palm of his hand on the top of the two foremen.

Zhao Ran didn't care, just caress it casually, but the two foremen were so excited that tears flowed out. This is also understandable, usually being able to accept the blessings of regular Taoist priests is enough to make ordinary people excited, not to mention that Zhao Ran is a "true immortal master"!

The Junshan Immortal Master returned from a long trip, and the news spread quickly, and when Zhao Ran left from the foot of Junshan and inspected the villages one by one, he was immediately surrounded by a sea of people.

First of all, the old people in the family came out to bow, and then the ladies of each family came out to watch with their children, and when the young men rushed over from the fields, Zhao Ran was already surrounded by countless layers.

Fortunately, although the people were excited, curious, reverent, and excited, most of them consciously stayed away from Zhao Ran's side, and did not dare to "alarm the immortal body", otherwise it would be difficult to clean up the stampede accident.

Under the hard work of Jin Jiu, Guan Er and others, hundreds of old people in the village lined up to come to Zhao Ran's side in turn, kowtowing and praying for the blessing of the immortal elder. Zhao Ran had no choice but to touch the top one by one, and finally dealt with the fanatical crowd.

Next, we continue to the fields to check the spring ploughing, to the canal to check the irrigation, to the river to check the fishing...... After walking around like this, Zhao Ran had a rough idea in his heart.

Back at Junshan Temple, Zhao Ran summoned everyone to continue the discussion, and the first task he assigned was to repair the road.

Under the auspices of Jin Jiu, last winter, a simple dirt road was built in the Junshan area, with a total length of more than ten miles, but it provided great convenience for the people in the Junshan area to communicate with the outside world, and this road was also the only road leading to the outside world in Junshan.

The road was not completed, but was only stopped at a fifth of the way from the county seat of Guyang, mainly because of the administrative authority of the jurisdiction. To put it bluntly, even if the Junshan Temple does not occupy cultivated land, does not occupy the owner's private mountains, and opens the road far around the barren mountains and wilderness, these barren mountains and wilderness are also the official property of Guyang County, and the Junshan Temple is not qualified to open the way on it - even if you do good deeds.

Such a major matter is definitely not something that Jin Jiu can handle and coordinate, and it is already Jin Jiu's best to be able to drive the road out for more than ten miles.

Now that Zhao Ran is back, since building a road can improve merit on a large scale, then of course he has to operate it and strive to build the road to Guyang County.

In another month, the spring ploughing will be over, and then there will be no need for so many people in the field to serve the dealer, according to Jin Jiu's estimate, at least five hundred Ding Zhuang can be organized.

Based on the experience of last winter, Jin Jiu calculated the approximate cost of building a road, that is, 500 people working hard for three months, about 1,000 taels of silver, to extend the dirt road for another 10 miles, and in the winter, it will be extended for another 10 miles, and the official road connecting Shangjiangyou County to Guyang County will be connected by the middle of next year.

This plan obviously did not satisfy Zhao Ran. He smiled after asking Jin Jiu about last year's construction method. Jin Jiu didn't have the courage or face to find the bird-type multi-purpose machine of the five-color master, and he Zhao Ran would not be polite.

It's just a dirt road, and the main work is to open the mountain and rubble and level the land, this problem can completely give full play to the advantages of cultivation, and the five-color master is not enough for a bird? It doesn't matter, Zhao Ran doesn't mind playing in person!

Five hundred people is too little, at least thousands of people are mobilized!

Not to mention that Jin Jiu and the others looked at each other in disbelief, but although Zhao Ran said that he had been away for a year and a half, his prestige had not been half a point, and there was no other reason, it was because he was a true immortal master.

Of course, even before the donkey is put on a rope to work, it has to be fed. Zhao Ran's current idea is to make full use of the establishment of his Junshan Temple first, give his subordinates a little hope, and then think of more ways in the future.

At the beginning, there were three official Taoist priests received from Wuji Academy, one of which he himself occupied, one for Jin Jiu, and one for empty; five for pyroworkers, two for Guan Er and Lu Jin, and three for empty.

Zhao Ran summoned Guan Er over and asked him privately if he would like to change from a fireworker to a Taoist priest. Being able to become a Taoist priest is the dream of the vast majority of people in the Ming Dynasty in this era, and Guan Er is of course no exception, not to mention that it is Zhao Ran, a true immortal master who has been very kind to him, who is ready to promote him.

"In another three years, you will go back to the Zhenwei Dart Bureau to take over the head of the young president, right?" Zhao Ran asked with a smile: "Are you willing?"

Guan Er sighed: "The head of the dart is good, but in the past three years in Junshan, I really feel the joy of doing things. Thousands of people have to be cared for by us, this kind of taste...... I can't sleep, I can't throw it away. ”

In the evening, Song Xiong, the leader of the Cointreau Mountain Bandit Village supported by Junshan Temple, reported to his home and asked to see Zhao Zhiran.

Zhao Zhiran let him in and personally brought him a cup of tea. This was originally Zhao Ran's habit, but Song Xiong was inexplicably grateful, and secretly said in his heart that even if he was on the rivers and lakes in the future, he would be proud of himself when he said that Zhao Xianshi had given me tea for my old Song.

The purpose of Song Xiong's coming was mainly to tell Zhao Ran about the situation of the Cointreau Mountain Bandit Village, in fact, Zhao Ran had already heard about it from Guan Er and Lu Jin, he knew that Song Xiong wanted to wash his name and become a fireworker in Junshan Temple, and the so-called report was just a reason for Song Xiong to come to see his official face, so he patiently listened to him and waited for his next words.

Sure enough, after Song Xiong finished speaking, he knelt at Zhao Ran's feet again, kowtowed, and said, "The villain still has a love in return." ”

Zhao Ran said with Yan Yuese: "You say." "In the past two years, Song Xiong's performance has been very good, honestly guarding on Cointreau Mountain, secretly clearing out bandits for the people of Junshan, and the credit is not small. He had intended to bring Song Xiong before, but he went to Xia Guo and was delayed for a year and a half, but today he saw that Song Xiong did not complain at all, and he was still the same as always, in fact, he had already made up his mind to turn him into a fireworker.

I heard Song Xiong talk about something. It turned out that at the end of last year, Song Xiong caught a passing thief, and he had no intention of killing anyone, but he just scared him at will, but the thief was stupid and made his origin clear. Because of the big trouble, Song Xiong didn't dare to tell anyone, and waited intently for Zhao Xianshi to come back and tell him in person.

After speaking, Song Xiong presented a piece of paper full of words: "Daochang Zhao, this is the confession of the thief, and below is the charge he drawn." ”()
