ps: Thank you for the tips of the doll dad, the blessing words on the tree, and the touch of the glacier skin. ●⌒, what, there are more Taoist friends who vote for monthly tickets, and the poor road really can't be listed one by one, so I will thank you all in the future.

The spring ploughing of Jiajing's seventeenth year was going on intensely, and when Zhao Ran came back from Changning Valley, the people were working hard to sow seeds in the fields. The village is full of smoke, and the sound of chickens and dogs barking is endless, which is really a good pastoral atmosphere.

Rong Niang followed behind Zhao Ran, looking at her with curiosity on her face, and asked a few childish questions from time to time, such as will the seedlings die if they soak in the water? For example, the water in the ditch is so turbid, how can the fish live? Zhao Ran didn't mean to joke or despise, and patiently answered them one by one.

As the supreme leader of the Daomen and the government in Junshan District, Zhao Ran was very ashamed of his "neglect of government", and as soon as he came back, he immediately entered the role and went down to the grassroots level to take the mass line. He selected 100 households from among the peasant households according to the ratio of 1 out of 10 and spent seven days visiting them one by one.

The questions asked were probably focused on several aspects: whether last year's harvest was good, how much land rent was paid, how many grades were ranked in the "great agricultural competition" in the village, whether he had received the prizes corresponding to the grades--the iron pots, clay pots, and other things he had ordered from the golden shopkeeper last year, how the field rent was paid, whether he had paid other taxes or miscellaneous money in addition to the field rent, whether all the items issued by the Junshan Temple had been collected, and whether they had been deducted by the people who handled them, how he planned to use the surplus grain saved at home, and what items he most wanted to exchange for? What price did the merchants and pawns who came to Junshan buy grain, what was their wish for this year, and what did they think Junshan was still missing......

Rong Niang patiently accompanied Zhao Ran from house to house, watching him record these conversations on paper, and then gradually form some round or square figures, and finally calculate some crooked characters, and finally couldn't help asking: "Are these things interesting?"

Zhao Ran pointed to the characters and graphics on the page and explained to Rong Niang: "About eighty percent of the people are full of hope and confidence in their lives this year, which shows that our policy is effective. Sixty percent of the people's harvest can be sustained until next year after deducting the field rent, thirty percent of the people can support the autumn harvest, and one percent of the people are short of food...... This shows that this year's grain purchases cannot be stopped. Hmm, therefore, I decided to build a granary as a strategic reserve grain depot in Junshan, and the inventory should be kept at least 5,000 stones; from the price point of view, grain is still at a high level, followed by cotton cloth, and again agricultural tools; these are the three problems that Junshan urgently needs to solve this year, and they are also the focus of this year's agricultural work; and three percent of the people have mentioned one problem. Junshan didn't have a school, this is my negligence......"

Looking at Zhao Ran, who was slightly tired, Rong Niang felt a little pity in her heart, and thought for a while: "After the money paid by Dongfang is in hand, I will give it to you, is it enough?"

Zhao Ran nodded unceremoniously, and then shook his head again: "Thank you for having a heart, but don't give it all to me." Leave some for yourself...... A lot of things aren't about money...... You see, there are already signs of it. In several villages, there have been cases of villagers collecting grain on large scales when collecting land rent, and in addition, I purchased a batch of prizes such as iron pots and clay pots last year, and the rewards were originally distributed according to the different sizes of each family's contributions, but in the actual distribution, there were two cases of low charging high. Although it is inconspicuous, this symptom is not good, and we have to find a way to solve it system......"

Rong Niang said: "I just asked you if it was interesting, I wanted to say that you always put your mind on these trivial things." Will it delay your practice?"

Zhao Ran almost blurted out: These are the trivial things that I practice! Fortunately, he is still a little sensible, and he did not reveal his secrets because he is too familiar, but he feels that he should also do some foreshadowing for the difference in cultivation, so he said: "Rong Niang, the so-called Tao gives birth to one, one life two, two gives birth to three, three gives birth to all things, Tao gives birth to all things, and there is a great road in all things, don't underestimate these daily trivial matters, he is related to the people's livelihood, which contains the most fundamental avenue." It's not just that absorbing spiritual power in the deep mountains is considered cultivation, it's just one aspect, in addition to cultivating mana, there is also a more important aspect, which is our Dao heart. ”

"Dao Heart, in harmony with heaven and earth, harmony with the void and reality, isn't this the Dao heart?"

"That's a good point, but this is the ultimate goal of monasticism, so how can we achieve this goal? Everyone has his own way, and my way is above the trivial things of these people, and this is the number of paths I have taken, and others cannot learn it, and I cannot learn the way of others. ”

Rong Niang thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I understand what you mean, although it is different from mine, but it is the same way?"

"Well, it seems that your comprehension is still relatively strong, how about it, are you very interested in my Tao? Do you want to apprentice? I can reluctantly accept you. ”

After Zhao Ran finished sorting out the data in hand, he took Rong Niang to Shangxin Village at the western foot of Xiaojun Mountain, which was a newly opened settlement after the floods in Jiangyou County last year, and now 320 households have moved here, all of whom are victims of the famine in Jiangyou County.

The construction of the village in Shangxin Village has been completed, because the number of households is relatively large, and when the village was built, it was scattered into about five settlements, which were distributed in the shape of plum blossoms, each separated by hundreds of zhang away, and interspersed with canals.

It was originally a dense old forest, but now there are patches of new fields around it, roughly more than 1,000 acres, and the new immigrants are also busy in the fields. Thick rows of logs are piled up in the northwest of Shangxin Village, and a few young children are playing on them.

Zhao Ran introduced to Rong Niang everywhere: "These victims fled here last autumn, our Junshan Temple organized them to build their homes, reclaim the fields, and now have a preliminary foundation, of course, the fields are still not enough, and we need to continue to increase our efforts, and strive to develop all this basin before spring ploughing next year, totaling more than 5,000 acres...... We are preparing to build a furniture workshop, and the master has invited more than a dozen people -- the big bamboo shed at the other end is the workshop, and the first batch of furniture is tables and chairs. However, after the two days of research, we should still focus on the production of farm tools, after the completion of this batch of tables and chairs, let the workshop rush to make farm tools, of course, the iron head also needs to be purchased ......"

Rong Niang looked at the hard-working people in the valley basin in a daze, and then looked at Zhao Ran, speechless for a long time.

Compared with Shangxin Village, which has cultivated thousands of acres of land, the development time of Xiaxin Village is later and the progress is slower, so far there are less than 500 acres. Zhao Ran was a little anxious about this, if there was only this little bit of land, the food in Xia Xin Village this year would definitely be a big problem, and it would become a big burden for Junshan.

Zhao Ran immediately rushed to the cave of the five-color master of Xiaojun Mountain and called the five-color master out. Looking at the yawning golden chicken, Zhao Ran was angry: "I said master, I've only been out for a few days, are you hiding and being lazy? I said that the reclamation of Xintian at the end of Xia Xincun is slow, so you sleep with here?"

The five-color master was not happy: "Giggles, you little Taoist, where am I lazy? Giggles, who is this little girl? Are you embarrassed to say me? You ran out and hooked up with a little daughter-in-law yourself, and you still have the face to blame me for not doing things well?"

Rong Niang was angry: "Okay, what kind of monster are you big bird? What nonsense do you say without doing anything in your mouth? What do you mean by hooking up?"

"Giggles, the little girl has a good temper...... What a big bird? This teacher is a colorful golden chicken!"

The two of them tensed up as they spoke, one flapped his wings and was about to rush over, "Teach you a lesson girl who doesn't know how to be polite", and the other flew out of the sky and shouted, "Let you taste the power of this girl", which made Zhao Ran's head as big as a fight.

Zhao Ran hurriedly appeased left and right, and it was easy for these two to accept the idea of fighting. He threw the smoked leg sent by the butcher to the five-color master, and sent the golden chicken to Xia Xincun to help, and then came back to his senses to appease Rong Niang.

However, Rong Niang didn't get angry, but said with a smile: "Senior Brother Zhao, I found you really interesting here, there is a stupid donkey donkey, not to mention, there is actually a spirit bird that can only speak, which is interesting and interesting...... But this animal you have is not very obedient, and I will stay for two more days before leaving, so that I can help you tame this bird a little......"

As he was talking, a white light flew in the sky, Zhao Ran copied it in his hand, and then put it on his forehead to probe, and couldn't help but say happily: "The master recruits each other, and you can go back to Huayun Pavilion to cultivate for another month." ”

Rong Niang heard Zhao Ran talk about apprenticeship in Huayun Pavilion on the way, but she didn't expect it to be today, so she said unhappily: "Go and go, happy to be like this, as for it?"

Zhao Ran smiled: "I'm different from you, it's rare to have a master...... Senior brother pointed out one or two, this is an opportunity, and it must be cherished. By the way, you hurry back to Wuhou Mountain, I will go back to the temple and tell you a few words before you go on the road. ”

Rong Niang's eyes rolled: "You go to yours, I'll stop here for a little longer, help you control this big bird, and tame it until it is obedient!" (To be continued......)
