PS: Thank you for the sandwich biscuits of Yuyun and Lingsu Jushi, thank you Yangzhigang for the reward, and thank you for eating rabbit dropping radish, peop1epark, and get up x6 for the encouragement of the monthly pass.

It is still an alley in the north of Guyang County, and it is still a golden mansion that occupies half of the alley, and this time when Zhao Ran came, he was no longer the little chanting Taoist boy of the day. Master Fang Tang is a figure at the level of the eight deacons of the Taoist Academy, and compared with the county lieutenant Jin, he is already hidden as an enemy, and he can sit and talk about the Tao.

County Lieutenant Jin and Jin Jiu descended to greet him outside the gate and invited Zhao Ran into the house. Entering the second courtyard and entering the flower hall, Jin County Lieutenant sat in the main seat, Zhao Ran sat in the guest seat, and Jin Jiu, who was dressed in a Taoist uniform, also had the qualifications to take the seat this time, and accompanied him at the end with a happy face.

During the Chinese New Year, when the host and guest meet, they must first greet each other. After saying a few auspicious words, County Lieutenant Jin turned his conversation to the intention of the banquet, mainly thanking Zhao Ran for planning in the middle and working hard for his own Erlang's suffering. Zhao Ran said a few polite words, and casually praised Jin Jiu, saying that Jin Jiu was reliable and diligent, which was Jin Jiu's own excellence, and he didn't dare to take credit for entering the prison and Sandu.

These kind words are Zhao Ran's self-humility, of course Jin County Lieutenant knows what is going on with his own Erlang, and he will not mention whether he is reliable or not, and "diligence and progress" will not be able to settle on Jin Jiu's head no matter what. Therefore, while scolding Jin Jiu for "listening to Zhao Fang's orders", he asked Jin Jiu to give Zhao Ran tea.

The Jin family is the head snake of Guyang County, and the official position of the Jin County Lieutenant is not high, but he holds real power. In fact, his official official name should be "Dian Shi", which was originally responsible for the transfer of cashiers, and later gradually evolved into being in charge of rape and thieves, supervising prisoners, and at the same time responsible for training Ding Zhuang, who was placed in later generations, that is, the director of public security and the minister of armed forces. This duty is the same as that of the county lieutenant of the previous dynasty. Therefore, the people are called "county lieutenants", and the name "classic history" is not satisfactory.

The county lieutenant is a consul, not the head of a county, nor is he a 2, and it is quite difficult to move up, so the Jin family must consider important issues. In the event of the fall of the Jin County Lieutenant or even his accidental death, the Jin family must have children who can stand up and hold the faΓ§ade. The position of county lieutenant has offended a lot of people, and when the time comes, without the backbone of Jin County Lieutenant, the whole family will not know how to die.

Jin County's two sons, the eldest won the show, but he failed in the township test continuously, and he couldn't see hope for the time being, but the second child, who had been stubborn, was punished. became a chanting Taoist, with this level of identity, it is an excellent talisman for the Jin family, so the county lieutenant of Jin is so grateful to Zhao Ran.

Jin County Lieutenant didn't expect Jin Jiu to work hard to learn and take the first class in the exam, but he was afraid that he would not learn and have no skills, and he would always be ranked last in the exam. How much energy did Lord Zhao Fang have in Wuji Courtyard? Jin Xianwei and Jin Jiu both knew about it, especially Jin Jiu. The shock was even more profound. Inviting Lord Zhao Fang to the banquet today, in addition to expressing his thanks, there is also a layer of stammering, that is, to let Lord Zhao Fang not leave his Erlang alone, and take more care of his difficulties.

This problem is not a problem for Zhao Ran at all, the relationship between Liu Zhiguang and Fang Zhihe, who is highly meritorious, is extremely thick. As long as Jin Jiu didn't make too much trouble, there was something that could really be settled with a hello, so he was not polite, and immediately agreed, which made Jin County Lieutenant breathe a sigh of relief. Jin Jiu was even more happy and waited on the side.

Eat a feast. The guests and hosts were happy, and Jin County Lieutenant said: "At the beginning of summer, the lord of Fang came to the house with the Song Prison and left a scroll as a gift, but now Jin has to apologize to the lord of Fang. ”

Zhao Ran knew that the drama was coming as soon as he heard it, so he smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay." If County Lieutenant Jin likes it, he can write another picture of Poor Dao. ”

Jin County Wei said happily: "In this way, there will be work." ”

Before the words fell, Jin Jiu had already hugged the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and waited for Zhao Ran to hold the paperweight inkstone.

Zhao Ran groaned slightly, picked up the pen and wrote a piece of "Heaven rewards diligence", and said to Jin County Lieutenant: "This character will be given to Senior Brother Jin, thinking that it will be sharpened." ”

Jin County Lieutenant hurriedly asked Jin Jiu to thank him, put away the text panel, and said: "Zhao Fangzhu's character has become famous in Sichuan Province, not only the provincial Zhou Senator is very fond of it, but many prefecture and county officials are unanimously respected. Jin has a lot of close friends, and he wrote to ask for a letter a few years ago, and he wanted to receive a picture of Zhao Fangzhu's words to figure it out, and asked Zhao Fangzhu to look at Jin's face and make it what he wanted. ”

Zhao Ran did not shirk, and according to the request of the county lieutenant Jin, he wrote four more words, all of which were three feet large. County Lieutenant Jin sighed a few words, let him come up with a stack of silver tickets, and said, "This is the pen fee of the master, please smile." ”

Zhao Ran swept it, estimated that there were about ten tickets, and saw that the top one was one hundred taels, which was converted into two hundred taels per word, and the words of Lao Tzu could be sold at such a high price! Of course, he knew that this was the county lieutenant Jin who was taking advantage of the past to pay for his merits, so he was not polite, and smiled happily.

After receiving the money, the three of them sat down again, and Zhao Ran began to talk about his business. He strongly supported Jin Jiu to come to power, in addition to Jin Jiu's hard work, he also had other intentions, that is, to cooperate with Jin County Lieutenant to make a long-term plan for himself to cultivate meritorious power.

The county lieutenant Jin was in charge of the "law and order" of the whole county of Guyang County, and many plans could only be implemented smoothly with his help, such as the establishment of a relief station at the post station. Although the post station is subordinate to the military department of the imperial court, many affairs must be cooperated by the local government, especially the cooperation of the county lieutenant Jin. The simplest example, the post stations are all on the official roads in the suburbs, far away from the city, especially such as Heshan Station, the wealth is abundant, and there are often high-ranking officials and nobles to stay, often the target of robbers, if the law and order is not quiet, what happens to the disaster, the punishment of the post is extremely heavy, which requires the county to take the post station as a key protection target, and often send officials and people to patrol.

Sending people to inspect is not the fundamental way to solve the problem, in fact, the county lieutenant "passes the word" and let the outlaws "not disturb them", which is a safe way. Because the brave and ruthless outlaws in a county, and even the bandits in the mountains, often have names and surnames in the county lieutenant's entrainment, and the county takes care of them better than any patrol.

Zhao Ran had this idea, and wanted the county lieutenant Jin to come forward and help him set up the relief station in Heshanyi and Liuzhuangyi.

Jin County Lieutenant first said "Lord Fang's mercy", and then patted his chest to guarantee, saying that there is no problem with Liu Zhuangyi, Yicheng and himself have always been friends, this is both a small matter and a good thing, presumably Liu Zhuangyi will not refuse. But Heshanyi is not easy to do, Zhong Yicheng is taking the door of Kong Xianzun, and he is not very face-saving to himself, if he wants to get things done, he has to come forward with Kong Xianzun.

Zhao Ran said that Liu Zhuangyi will be Liu Zhuangyi, set one up first, and then have the opportunity to meet Kong Xianzun in Heshanyi.

So County Lieutenant Jin handed over the matter to Jin Jiu and asked him to handle it. Zhao Ran took fifty taels of silver tickets and handed them to Jin Jiu, but Jin Jiu hurriedly refused, saying that this matter was a good thing, and he would do his best. Where can Zhao Ran let Jin Jiu pay for it, and how can he get his turn to be merit when the time comes? After persisting a few times, Jin Jiu had no choice but to accept the silver ticket and swear that he would do it well.

County Lieutenant Jin asked: "Lord Zhao Fang has this kind thought, why don't you set up your own porridge shed, but go to the post station to give alms?"

Zhao Ran said: "This is exactly where the poor road has asked for the county lieutenant Jin. I plan to set up a relief station outside the pine forest two miles east of the city, which is a no-man's field, and I only need the help of the county lieutenant Jin to say hello to Kong Xianzun, and then we can start work. Of course, I will discuss with the Song Prison Yuan, and ask the Wuji Court to issue an official document to the county government, and then the county lieutenant Jin will have to take more care of it. ”

Jin County Lieutenant said with a smile: "This is a good deed, Jin is a great helper, and the owner of Fang is relieved." ”

The establishment of a relief station is not a simple matter, involving land, public security, tax items and many other issues, especially in terms of public security, when giving rice porridge, hundreds of people gather in one place, there must be a county government nod to do it, and at the critical moment, the government will also be dispatched to maintain order, as for the ruffians to make trouble, it is better to ask the county lieutenant to speak. Jin Xianwei said "help each other", then most of this thing can be done smoothly.

When this matter was negotiated, Zhao Ran was very happy in his heart, and said that he had recruited people to repair houses for the people in the village, which was also to inform Jin Xianzun, so as not to misunderstand the county.

Zhao Ran left the Jin family's mansion, and the county lieutenant Jin said to Jin Jiu: "This Zhao Fang's every move is quite meaningful, no wonder the rise is so great, you can learn more by his side when you have time." ”

Jin Jiuwu was puzzled: "I don't know what he wants to do with such a wealth of money...... It's not a small amount of money......"

Jin County Lieutenant sighed: "This is a request for fame! Lord Zhao Fang's plan is very far, and his achievements in the future are limitless!"
