Chapter 40: Consummation
The neat farmland, the criss-crossing ditches, the brand-new villages, and the smoke from every household all show the vigorous vitality of the Junshan area, while the smiles on the faces of the people and the playful play of the children show the beauty and happiness of life.
After reading all this, Xia Zhifu couldn't help but be moved, and asked Zhao Ran in detail why he did all this.
Zhao Ran said without hesitation: "Since Gutian is the foundation, all this is because of the land. Only by giving the cultivators their land can they awaken their greatest enthusiasm for work. However, farming is an industry that depends on the sky for food, and the foundation for the survival of the peasant households is very weak, and perhaps a natural disaster or a man-made disaster will put them in a difficult situation, so they have to sell their fields. Only by equipping the cultivators with the ability to cope with the difficult situation can they not sell their land and make a comeback. And that's exactly what we should do. ”
Then, Zhao Ran introduced the three major policies he implemented in the Junshan area, one is to promote water conservancy, the second is to establish a mutual aid group for every ten households, and the third is to run a charity fund system.
The Xia Governor's Mansion was particularly interested in the third item, so Zhao Ran called the Steward Li of the Charity Hall to explain the charity money to the Xia Governor's Mansion. The use of charity funds is mainly in two aspects: one part is used to directly distribute relief to rural households in special difficulties, and to give porridge and rice to migrant people. The other part is used to issue low-interest loans to farmers who need to borrow, and farmers repay them in three to five years.
How low is the low interest rate? Xia Zhifu asked, although the titles were different, his first reaction was Qingmiao money.
Steward Li replied, "Eight cents." ”
After hearing this, Xia Zhifu pondered for a long time, and sighed: "Although the method is good, it is difficult to do......"
Zhao Ran admitted: "A blank piece of paper is easy to paint, but Junshan is a blank piece of paper." ”
He hadn't said anything about his advance of a large amount of charity funds and the large-scale use of spirit demon labor, otherwise Xia Zhifu would probably have to add a sentence of "even more difficult".
Xia Zhifu stayed in Junshan for a day, and after eating a meal of mountain mushrooms and wild vegetables specially prepared by Zhao Ran, he went to Jiangyou County. Dong Zhikun, Kong Xianling and others also left.
Although the Xia Governor's Mansion was full of praise for Junshan during this trip, Dong Zhikun still did not have the intention of looking for Zhao Ran to ease up, and his thoughts Zhao Ran had already understood more thoroughly through Liu Zhiguang's letter, which was nothing more than that he recognized that he had offended the Zhengyi Pavilion of Longhu Mountain, and there must be no good fruit to eat. As for the Xia Governor's show of the importance he attaches to Junshan, so what? Even the Governor can't control the inside of the Daomen, can it?
At the end of October, Zhao Ran suddenly had a hint of enlightenment in his cultivation, and he began to feel that the transformation speed of the essence qi in the Qi Sea was gradually decreasing, and he who had had a breakthrough experience understood that this was a sign that the Yushi Realm was about to be consummated.
Zhao Ran began to scratch his head, because the cultivation of merit power had accelerated by two years earlier than he had originally expected, so that there was a major problem in his cultivation - there was no realm breaking exercise!
The "Innate Gong De Sutra" was obtained when he was promoted to the Fang Tang Master of Wuji Academy, and at that time there was only the first chapter, which described the exercises of the stage of "refining essence" in the practice of refining and transforming qi, that is to say, it included the cultivation methods of the two realms of the Taoist realm and the Yushi realm. But now that the Yushi Realm is about to be consummated, how to condense the essence into a Dan fetus in the next step?
Zhao Ran has been carefully looking at the "Shangqing Jue" taught by Huayun Pavilion these days, this Taoist exercise of the nature of the road does record the methods of breaking through the realm at various stages, but it is an exercise based on absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, and it is completely different from the merit cultivation system with merit power as the root of mana.
Zhao Ran didn't give up, and spent three days asking Senior Brother Wei Zhizhen for advice, but he didn't know how many flying talismans were sent, and the final result made him deeply depressed - all the realm-breaking exercises in Senior Brother's stomach were almost the same as the "Shangqing Jue", and they couldn't be used on him at all.
After teaching him the Realm Breaking Technique in detail, the senior brother said that for Zhao Ran's cultivation progress, he and Yu Zhichuan were both happy for Zhao Ran, hoping that he would return to Huayun Pavilion after breaking through the realm as soon as possible. Senior Brother also suggested that if conditions permitted, he could also go back to Huayun Mountain to retreat at the Asking Heart Cliff, which was a good place for the middle and low-level disciples of Huayun Pavilion to rush to the realm.
As everyone knows, Zhao Ran's hair at this moment is going to be ripped off by himself.
The current situation is quite clear, if you want to break through the realm and enter the Yellow Crown, you must get the second chapter of the "Innate Merit Sutra", and if you want to get the second chapter, you still have to climb up.
In Wuji Courtyard, Junshan Miaozhu and the Eight Deacons are of the same rank, and further up, there are only three capitals and prison courtyards or abbots, of which the three are half a level lower than each other.
Do you want to pull Dong Zhikun off the horse? Zhao Ran pondered for a moment, but still gave up, and now that Dong Zhikun is pulled off the horse, can he guarantee that he will sit in the position of the prison? Judging from his resume, it is really even more difficult, and the final result is very likely to be to make a wedding dress for others.
He has not served in the three important positions of patrol, acquaintance, and high merit, and he has not been in contact with his colleagues in Wuji Academy for several years, and it is almost impossible to get recognition in the public promotion meeting. What's more, the abbot and prison of Xizhenwu Palace have had a holiday with him, and he can't even get the nomination to participate in the public recommendation!
The abbot and the prison need to be pushed, but Sandu does not need to be pushed, so can you sit in the position of Sandu?
Luo Duguan of Wuji Yuan died last month, and although the Junshan area was busy with the autumn harvest at the time, Zhao Ran still went back to attend the memorial ceremony of Luo Duguan.
Therefore, among the three capitals of Wuji Courtyard, the position of the capital was vacant, and Zhao Ran certainly wanted to sit on it, but he knew that it was also very difficult, and among the Daomen of the entire Long'an Mansion, his promotion might be the most difficult. Just kidding, the top leaders of the county Taoist Academy and the first and second leaders of the Fuli Taoist Palace all regard him as a hate, and it is not bad if they don't get him off the temple ceremony, and they still want to be promoted?
As a result of deep thought, Zhao Ran planned to use the curve to save the country and see if there was a chance to go to other mansions to grab a seat in Sandu.
Of course, Zhao Ran is now considered a person with good qualifications, and he is really forced to do so, and he still has the final backup choice - to abandon his cultivation and re-cultivate other exercises, and he will not be affected by the promotion of the Taoist position. But the cost of doing so was too great, it was equivalent to losing the cultivation time of the past five years, and he was not prepared to do so unless he had to.
Zhao Ran wanted to go far away and came to the back garden to announce the matter. To tell the truth, in the months after these spirit demons arrived in Junshan, their performance was quite remarkable, not only did they do a lot of heavy work, but they also did not disturb the people at ordinary times, and they were very handy. But that's because he has been supervising and reminding from time to time that if these people are inexplicably willful a few times when they go out, the losses caused will be immeasurable, which is the reason why he is not very relieved.
According to his thoughts, as soon as he mentioned that he was leaving, these people should have dispersed, and they should go back to the mountain to do something, but the situation was a little unexpected, Bai Shanjun had no intention of leaving.
"Little Taoist, you should play with you, we will help you take care of this cave, don't worry, we will help you get rid of it if you come to seek revenge and make trouble again, you can go with peace of mind." Pay more attention on your own road, run quickly when you encounter danger, don't fight with others, you are not your senior brother. Now, Zhang Laodao's thatched hut has been completely occupied by Bai Shanjun, and its whole body is curled up in it, revealing its long beak, and lazily admonishing Zhao Ran.
What is the situation? Zhao Ran was a little puzzled: "Shanjun, no one will cook fish for you to eat after I leave......
Bai Shanjun said casually: "Tweet, you come back and do it again, I'm not in the mood to eat fish now, this Lingquan Pond is very good, sleep in this cave every day, and soak in the pool for a while when you wake up, it's better than anything." ”
"This ...... Why is it that there is only Shanjun himself, the Toad Palace Fairy, the Five-Color Master, and the Qingtian Layman?"
"The fairy is on Xiaojun Mountain, Wusei went back to sleep, and the stupid cow followed the fairy up the mountain. ”
Well, it seems that what I told the rabbit before, the other party really cares.
