Chapter 23 The Second and Third Matters of the Taoist Academy
ps: Thank you for the eagle week reward, thank you for the nickname has been robbed, and the monthly pass that has been lonely for a lifetime is encouraged. 》,.
If it were not for the fact that there was no other way out, how could ordinary people borrow usury? In fact, 90 percent of the people who borrowed usury were peasant households who had cultivated their own fields, and they used their land as collateral to borrow money from large households, but in the end they were unable to repay them, and their land was encroached upon by large households, and they themselves became tenant farmers or directly sold themselves to become servants of large households. It can be said that usury was one of the important factors that caused the land annexation in this era.
Does the imperial court have a solution to this? The answer is that there must be! This solution is the green seedling warehouses set up by local governments. But the problem now is that whether it is because of natural disasters or **, when farmers have difficulties to apply to the government for loans for green seedlings, it is always difficult to get their wish, either the amount they get is very small and cannot solve the actual problem, or they simply delay it and cannot quench their thirst.
This is what Zhao Ran wants to do, to see if it is possible to solve the disadvantages of the distribution of Qingmiao money, and not to solve it in Long'an Mansion, at least in Guyang County, this situation can be eliminated.
If this is done, it will definitely be a good deed that will benefit tens of thousands of farmers in the entire Guyang County, and Zhao Ran seems to have seen the bright prospect of the explosive growth of merit power in his own qi sea!
Zhao Ran invited Steward Li into the public room of the Charity Hall, and then kept pounding the silver from his arms, and after a while, the table in the public room was full of silver ingots with white flowers, and Steward Li's eyes were straight - not only was it a matter of Zhao Ran's money, but it also seemed that the penniless but constantly able to take out the silver was too handsome, where had Steward Li seen this, and he respected Zhao Ran like a man from then on.
Showing such a hand can be regarded as strengthening Steward Li's confidence in continuing to do a good job in the charity hall, otherwise he really couldn't find a suitable person who has both culture and ideals and is also his own person for a while.
After discussing many details of the establishment of Shanjin with Steward Li. Zhao Ran hurried back to Wuji Mountain without stopping.
Song Zhiyuan was handling official documents in the prison building, and since he became a prison officer, he loved this simple and elegant courtyard to death, and he was simply happy to return, and basically rarely returned to the luxury manor he bought at the foot of the mountain. When he saw Zhao, he cordially called Zhao Ran in: "Why is Senior Brother Zhao here?" Senior brother, after I have dealt with these official documents, let's talk again. ”
Zhao Ran came to this prison house many times, just as casually as visiting his own square hall, and was not polite, he made a cup of tea by himself, and refilled Song Zhiyuan's teacup with water, drinking tea while watching Song Zhiyuan's various gadgets collected on the pineapple shelf.
After Song Zhiyuan finished processing several official documents on the case, he beckoned Zhao Ran to sit down. Zhao Ran couldn't help but smile on Song Zhiyuan's face, and couldn't help asking, "Why is the senior brother of the prison laughing?
Song Zhiyuan leaned back in his chair. Shaking his head while laughing: "Where is there any happy event, I just watched an interesting anecdote." ”
"Oh? ”
"It's not a big deal...... Song Zhiyuan pointed to an official document on the case and said: "The county school old teacher Zhishi, the seat is vacant." Kong Xianzun reported a proposed candidate to the deputy envoy, but he was familiar. ”
After the county nominates and recommends such a petty official, the county will generally approve and approve it, and then the teacher will take office. Of course. It involves the education of a county, and the most important link lies in. The recommendation of the county must first be reported to the institute for review, and the provincial institute can only report to the province after it has no opinion.
Acquaintances are acquaintances, Song Zhiyuan criticized "may" or "cannot", this procedure is very simple, Zhao Ran is inexplicable. He didn't see where the laugh was.
So Song Zhiyuan explained: "This person's name is Zhang Mengchun, senior brother, I didn't enter the Taoist gate when I was young, and I was studying in the school at that time. This Meng Chun is greedy and excessive, and I can't get used to it, senior brother, except for the normal restraints and rituals. Never give money or property, this Meng Chun always punishes me in public...... I heard that he has not been able to make an inch since he won the show, and I didn't expect to get news of him today. ”
Oh, I see, Zhao Ran understood, regardless of whether it was the reason Song Zhiyuan said or not, in short, this Teacher Zhang left a deep mark on Song Zhiyuan's young soul back then, but he didn't expect retribution to come now. The smile on the face of the Song Prison was by no means a funny "laugh", but a ridiculous "laugh". It stands to reason that an old fritter like Song Zhiyuan generally doesn't talk about this kind of thing lightly, but the joy of his "great revenge" is really unbearable to share with others, or show off, and Zhao Ran, who has a deep relationship with him, is naturally the best listener.
Zhao Ran hurriedly made fun: "In this way, this Zhang Xiucai has a flawed character, I am afraid it will be difficult to be a teacher, Senior Brother Zhao must not be observed, don't abolish the public for personal reasons for the old love." ”
Song Zhiyuan was very satisfied, nodded and said: "In addition, when Zhang Mengchun was teaching, he admired Confucianism and rarely dabbled in my Taoist classics, which seems to be criticized, so I should reject the county government and plan to discuss it separately." ”
Confucianism is the Ming Dynasty's ideology of governance, of course, some of its contents have been revised by Taoism, so what should Zhang Xiucai talk about if he does not teach Confucianism? However, as soon as Song Zhiyuan said this, he was charged with a trumped-up crime, and this Zhang Xiucai was finished. The cause that was unintentionally planted decades ago will reap the fruit after a few decades, it is really a cycle of cause and effect, and God is honest and I am not deceiving!
The two of them decided the life of a certain talent in a few words, and then began to talk about the next thing very carelessly.
"Senior Brother Zhao, I have an official document here, which needs to be dealt with by you. With that, Song Zhiyuan handed the official document to Zhao Ran.
Zhao Ran opened it and saw that it was also transferred from the county government, but it was an application for handling the case. There is a big family named Zong Weiwu, who set up a Taoist altar in his manor and preached the new righteousness of the ancestors of the Three Qing Daoists, saying that the endless catastrophe will be born and the universe will be destroyed. This person also claimed that he was a disciple of Lu Xianzuo, and he went down to save the world, and the world can only survive the catastrophe by believing in himself. The county government has already got tangible news, and is ready to go to search for it in the near future, and ask Wuji Academy to send relevant personnel to preside over Yunyun.
Zhao Ran couldn't help but smile when he saw it, this Zong Weiwu somehow lost his mind, and he really killed himself. This kind of case is being handled by Fang Tang, it is Zhao Ran's own job, but he hasn't met one in three and a half years, but he didn't expect that he had just become the master of Fang, and he ran into it.
Song Zhiyuan finished talking about business, and then told Zhao Ran a few more words, and asked, "Senior Brother Zhao is here, is there anything wrong?"
Zhao Ran told him about today's Pingwu County errand officer trespassing into the charity hall to arrest people, of course, the people were enraged and beat the errand officer without concealing it. After speaking, Zhao Ran asked: "Senior Brother of the Prison Court, did the senior brother know about the Pingwu County Messenger crossing the border to take people in advance?
Song Zhiyuan shook his head and frowned, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Senior Brother Zhao, have you offended anyone?"
Zhao Ran said with a bitter face: "Thinking about it, it seems that only Du Neng, the abbot of Xizhenwu Palace, can do it." ”
Song Zhiyuan comforted: "If he makes a move, it is somewhat possible, but you don't have to be afraid." I have already inquired, this Du Neng will be an outsider, he doesn't understand the rules, he is unpopular in Xizhenwu Palace, Zhang Jian Yuan is also very dissatisfied with him, he wants to make waves, Zhang Jian Yuan is the first to refuse. ”
Listening to Song Zhiyuan's comfort, Zhao Ran was slightly relieved, and then asked again: "Senior brother of the prison court, what kind of roots is that new Zhao Zhixing?"
Song Zhiyuan Qi said: "Do you think he is suspicious? No, this person is the one who came down to Wuji Courtyard to resume, and he can't be embarrassed by you." After thinking about it, he shook his head and said: "I heard that he was an orphan abandoned outside the Xuanyuan Temple, adopted by a fireworker in the Guanzhong, and grew up in the Xuanyuan Temple since he was a child. Later, because of his talent and intelligence, he read the scriptures very well, so he was given an exception. Perhaps because of his background, he has always been humble, and he rarely interacts with outsiders, and there will be no conflict with you. I don't think you'd better be suspicious. ”
Well, Zhao Ran hopes he thinks too much. Continuing with what I just said, I mentioned the matter of Qingmiao Cang.
"Senior brother of the prison court, junior brother, I have set up a charity fund, and I am going to contribute a thousand taels to help the poor families who are unable to repay their debts......" Zhao Ran described in detail the method of setting up a charity fund, and asked: "Senior brother, is this good?"
"Very good, brother and sister, this is a good deed. ”
"Senior brother, senior brother, I think, this is not a long-term method, well, I don't know what the details of this Qingmiao Cang matter are, can Senior Brother solve my doubts?"
Song Zhiyuan was stunned, hesitated for a moment and said, "There are some things, it's better not to take them too seriously." (To be continued......)
