In the face of Bai Tengming's distress, Zhao Ran could only say that your old man was thinking too much, comforted Bai Tengming a few words, and asked: "The main Jiao has been completed, when does the prison plan to return to Long'an to reunite with the family?"

Bai Tengming shook his head: "I've just been here for more than a month, how can I go back? When I came to take up my post, I told my family that I wouldn't go back in the first month of this year." If you have anything to do in the Zongsheng Pavilion, I will help you guard the Tianhe Palace. I'm also old, and I'm afraid that my body won't be able to stand it in a few years, so I'll have to consider quitting when the time comes, and I'll try to help you for a few years if I can help you for a few years. By the way, the Hongyuan Provincial Government is separated, and the candidates for each function have been prepared?"

Zhao Ran handed over a list: "With my four years of experience in Hongyuan, this list can give the prison some reference." ”

Bai Tengming took the list and looked at it carefully.

White Horse Courtyard: Abbot Qu Fenghe, Supervisor Lei Shan, Du Guan Lu Zhicheng, Du Li Zhining, Du Chef Zuo Zhizhen.

Hongyuan County Ya: County Order Gu Tengfeng, County Cheng Zhang Cong'an, and the main book Longtan.

Bai Tengming asked: "Lei Shan turned out to be from the government, Gu Tengfeng is from our Daomen, why did he change his position?"

Zhao Ran said that the Tianhe Palace and the Western Sichuan Governor's Mansion had reached a tacit understanding and that the personnel crossed each other, and then said: "Starting from Hongyuan County, the Du Supervision Yuan originally planned to retain the degree of the county government master and the above people, and gradually implement the four counties in the future. ”

Bai Tengming nodded and said, "This idea is good, it has far-reaching significance for strengthening the Dao Gate, this is Zhiran's idea, right?"

"Just a little suggestion. ”

"Why don't you see Yuan Hao?"

"Yuan Hao is now also the post of regimental training envoy, Jiang Ruobing, the secretary of the Governor's Office of Western Sichuan, has been promoted to the prefect of Wumeng, and Governor Xia intends to take over the post of secretary. ”

Bai Tengming said: "This is a good thing, which shows that the merits of Zhiran when he was in charge of Hongyuan are obvious to all." In this way, on the side of the White Horse Courtyard, I don't have any opinions, on the side of the county government, we still need to discuss with Governor Xia, and finally need his consent, we can only suggest. ”

He said: "Zhiran is ready to take a break for half a month? You handled Ye Yunxuan's case a while ago, and it was really hard, so you should rest for a while." With me staring over here, you can rest assured, and if there is a major matter to be decided, I will wait for you to come back to discuss. ”

Zhao Ran said with a smile: "When you say this, it seems that you want to pick a child, this is not good, you are a high Taoist at the level of the provincial view of Sandu, not only the whole province is watching, but also the general view is staring at it...... I said it was a rest, but in fact, I couldn't take a break. Last year, the Zongsheng Pavilion inspected the cultivation disciples in Hongyuan, and got some, and this year it is the turn of Xiaohe County, choose a county every year, and strive for a round of three or five years, so as to form a benign reserve for future disciples. ”

Bai Tengming said: "Speaking of which, my grandson Bai Yu really doesn't know anything, and he can't enter the sect that is so good in Louguan, so he has to crowd in Huayun Pavilion...... Hehe, I'm not saying that Master Du Lian's disciples are bad, but after all, Louguan is good, let's be closer, aren't we?"

Zhao Ran said: "I heard that Bai Yu had entered the realm of Yushi at the end of last year, but it has only been five years, and it is not easy to achieve such an achievement. ”

Bai Tengming said: "But it can't compare to Qu Fenghe." Qu Fenghe entered the Dao Gate more than half a year later than him, but he had already entered the Yellow Crown at the end of last year! My grandson has always been competing with Qu Feng and Pan, and it was good to hear the news last month, and he was finally dumbfounded. ”

Zhao Ran sighed: "Fenghe's entry into the country is really unexpected, to be honest, even I can't believe it." ”

Bai Tengming waved his hand: "Forget it, I'm also old, I love to nag, so don't mind." In fact, looking back and thinking about it, it is a great blessing for my grandson to be able to enter the cultivation, but I am not satisfied. ”

In the first month of the twenty-seventh year of Jiajing, the Zongsheng Pavilion launched a hard and busy disciple screening work in Xiaohe County, after half a month of hard work, a total of three teenagers with good qualifications were found, and they were directly introduced into the mountain gate of the Zongsheng Pavilion.

The foundation of a sect is accumulated by a few disciples and a few disciples year after year, and there is no shortcut.

It is worth celebrating that in the sixth year after Luo Zhiqing became a monk, he began to retreat and impact the Archmage Realm. He chose the talisman of divine sustenance, like his senior brother Wei Zhizhen, and it was also a seventh-order talisman of Zhang, called the Chongjiang Stacked Talisman.

This precious seventh-order talisman was given by Zhao Liniang and refined by the people of Songxue Dao. Songxue Taoist people have learned through the ancient and modern, especially good at calligraphy and painting, he integrated his perception of calligraphy and painting into his practice, and refined the famous "Xuanyuan Ten Sons", which became the magic weapon of the town school of Huang Ting. The heavy river stacking charm is also drawn into the symbol, the river water drawn in the symbol is vast and stretches, the mountains overlap and twist, after casting the spell, you can set the momentum of the three rivers, the weight of the nine mountains, and take the road of one force to ten wills, the so-called heavy sword has no edge, and the great ingenuity is not working.

This talisman has been treasured by Zhao Liniang's side, she saw Luo Zhiqing's posture and felt that it was very suitable for him, so she took it out and gave it away. Sure enough, after Luo Zhiqing obtained the talisman, as soon as he was probed by his mana, he felt that it was very compatible with him, and immediately decided to use it as his natal talisman.

Zhao Ran was rejoicing for the third senior brother, but also vaguely anxious about his own cultivation progress, it has been three years since the merit power Jin Dan became a pill, and it is still far from the perfection of the tempering, and if he wants to sharpen it to the point that he is in harmony with his life, he is afraid that there will be a few more years.

Originally, there were two difficulties that hindered his cultivation, one was that the merit power could not meet the needs of the Jindan Realm, which was much larger than the Yellow Crown Realm, and the other was the limitation of the amount of essence generated. The second problem has been solved to a large extent in Ye Yunxuan, and the refining efficiency has been doubled, which is equivalent to doubling the output of Jing Yuan.

Therefore, the biggest problem now is that the absorption of merit power is somewhat unable to keep up. If you can fish out a few more huge pieces of merit power such as Xuan Ci Dao, Zhang Da Zhenren and Qing Jun Feisheng, and then refine them with all your strength, maybe this process can be compressed into two years. But those two times were "windfalls", but they could not be expected, and there was no hope that they would be able to do it again, and there were not so many monks in the world who ascended.

And if you want the entire Song Domain people to provide themselves with stable merit, it needs to be subtle for a long time, and it is destined not to be achieved overnight, and it is useless to rush.

After placing this year's new disciples, in mid-February, Zhao Ran returned to the Heavenly Crane Palace. Twenty-three years ago in Jiajing, as a governor, if he really wanted to recuperate, he could even do nothing for many years, just attend when the prison convened the three capitals to discuss and vote on a few proposals.

However, since the monks performed the operation of the system of the Ten Directions Jungle, in order to balance the pressure brought by the monks who served as abbots to the laity, the functions of the three capitals were clearly strengthened, and the three capitals of the palaces and courtyards in various places were required to assume the corresponding responsibilities.

For example, the capital manager will generally be in charge of the guest hall, the patrol room and the square hall, the capital will be in charge of the scripture hall and the pawn room, and the capital kitchen will be in charge of the number room, the account room and the warehouse. As a result, Sandu has become a veritable deputy of the prison court.

Therefore, Zhao Ran is not good at "stealing half a day's leisure", many things need to be dealt with by him, of course, he is not willing to steal this half day's leisure.
