Four years ago, Zhao Ran was thriving in Wuji Courtyard, but Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai, two difficult brothers, were still circling in the patrol room of Wuji Courtyard, each of them worked hard for nine years, and they were almost about to complete the ten-year signing period of the fireworker layman, and they still couldn't see the dawn of turning into a regular person.

Compared with Zhao Ran, who is also a pyrotechnic in the house, it is simply heaven and earth. In fact, the two of them walked this road normally, and went down the mountain to go home at the end of the ten-year pyrotechnic period, which is the way back for most pyrotechnics, but Zhao Ran's career is too amazing, and compared with Zhao Ran, these two suddenly lost their mentality, and they almost collapsed in despair.

Just when these two felt that the future was bleak, Zhao Ran made a special trip to send a bowl of chicken soup, and after drinking the chicken soup, Zhou Huai decided to switch to Zhao Ran, and finally became the master of the small street temple of White Horse Courtyard in the thirteenth year of entering the Daomen. But what Jiao Tan chose was to start over, pick up books, and restart his career.

Zhao Ran also helped Jiao Tan on the road of the imperial examination, and wrote a letter to the then incumbent Kong County Zun and Xia Zhifu, so Jiao Tan passed the county examination and the government examination successively and became a child.

But after that, Zhao Ran didn't pay attention to Jiao Tan's career anymore because he was transferred to Songfan, and now that he saw Zhou Huai, he wanted to ask a few questions.

Zhou Huaiyin said: "At the end of last year, Jiao Tan took the college exam, but did not enter the school, and took the college exam for the second time last month and failed again...... He came back to me for a drink and got drunk......"

Zhao Ran was silent for a moment, and said: "The journey of the profession is also difficult, you have the opportunity to persuade him, you still have to cheer up, but it is only two misses, thousands of troops cross the single-plank bridge, it is not an easy task, the year before last, when Kong Xianzun was promoted to the governor of Long'an Mansion, he had several correspondence with me, he said that Jiao Tan's knowledge and articles are good, and he is very hopeful to go to school." ”

Zhou Huai smiled bitterly: "Jiao Tan's knowledge is indeed good, but it is biased towards the Taoist scriptures, since the year before Xiang Zhiyuan presided over the provincial township examination, the examination questions began to emphasize the Confucian scriptures, Zhang Tixue also had to obey the requirements of the imperial court for the industry, and the college examination also began to focus on the Confucian scriptures, and Jiao Tan suffered a loss in this." ”

Zhao Ran frowned: "How dare the imperial court do this? Three years ago, the Yuanfu Palace True Master Hall held a meeting, and rejected the idea that the Son of Heaven would be the emperor for his biological father, and it has clearly stated the attitude of my Daomen, why are you still worshipping Confucianism?"

Zhou Huaidao: "Our Sichuan is good, abbot, you are busy in the border again, so I don't know that this Confucian atmosphere is intensifying in Nanzhili, Zhejiang, and Henan. ”

The general view that Zhou Huai said usually refers to the lower view of the simple and lonely view, that is, the highest Taoist temple in the ten jungles led by the abbot Shen Yunjing and the prison Zhang Yangming. Therefore, Zhao Ran planned to present a book to the two of them when he had time to remind them to pay attention to it.

However, these are all later words, and Zhao Ran can only bury his head in front of him for the time being.

Lu Fangzhu concurrently served as the temple master of the small street temple, Lin Yuwen served as the hall master, Zhou Huai served as the scripture master, and Zhao Ran brought the Taoist boy with the best studies in the White Horse Temple this year to serve as the hall master, and the shelves of the small street temple were erected.

Zhao Ran's establishment for the Xiaojie Temple is four Taoist priests and six fireworkers, all four Taoists are occupied, and the rest is filled with fireworkers. Among the six pyrotechnics, Bao Zhong is counted as one, and if he makes up another one from the White Horse Courtyard, he will no longer be able to squeeze out manpower, after all, the manpower of the White Horse Courtyard is already tight.

Although the small street temple is newly established, but to start the actual sermon of the three parts, face all kinds of complicated situations, randomly find people to come over to fill the number, it is likely to make a mistake, the best way is to recruit experienced pyrotechnics in other Taoist courtyards to come over, just like when the Junshan Temple was newly established, Zhao Ran dug up Lin Yuwen from the West Zhenwu Palace.

Lin Yuwen was still called Lin Shuangwen when he didn't suffer from it, and he worked in Xizhenwu Palace for ten years without being punished, so he was dug up by Zhao Ran to Junshan Temple, and he could take on a job when he got started, which was very useful.

Thinking about it, it really reminded him of a person, Zhang Wujin, a fireworker of Xuanyuanguan. Or four years ago, Zhao Ran accompanied Bai Tengming of Xizhenwu Palace to Xuanyuan Guan Runguan, this guest room pyrotechnician who passed back and forth left a good impression on him, and I don't know if Zhang Wujin has been punished in the past four years, or has he gone down the mountain after the expiration of the term?

Zhao Ran has always had friends in Xuanyuanguan, before Song Zhiyuan and Zhao Zhixing, and now there is Xue Tengqian. This gentleman was introduced to Zhao Ran by Song Zhiyuan at Ye Xueguan's big meeting, and every time he went to Xuanyuan Temple, he would take the initiative to visit Xue Zhike, and now he is just using it.

Xue Tengqian is a knowledgeable guest of Xuanyuan Guan, one of the eight deacons of Sichuan Province, with a prominent position, and he happens to be Zhang Wujin's top boss.

Anyway, the Nangui Daoist was idle, and the job he was given was specialized in transportation and liaison, Zhao Ran simply made full use of it and asked him to go to Qingcheng Mountain to deliver the letter, and within three days, the wild goose came back.

What surprised Zhao Ran the most was that the people of Nangui Dao actually sent Zhang Wujin and Zhang Wujin's luggage package to the White Horse Courtyard, and the method was also very simple, a large basket was held on the bird's beak, Zhang Wujin and his luggage were loaded in it, and he was directly transported by air for 600 miles! This time, Zhao Ran was saved half a month's time.

Zhao Ran was greatly appreciative, not only appreciating the IQ of the Nangui Daoist, but also appreciating his attitude towards things as a spirit demon but not arrogant, so he decisively picked out a few of the spirit fruits that the white crane rewarded him and fed him to eat.

"I must focus on praising Director Nangui, at this point, Bai Shanjun is not as good as you, you are indeed a good demon, a good demon who only forgets selfishness for the public and the public!"

The people of Nangui Dao flew to the bell tower of the White Horse Courtyard to rest in a comfortable mood, and left Zhang Wujin behind, as well as Xue Tengqian's reply.

Zhao Ran now unfolded the letter, and Xue Tengqian told Zhao Ran that he was very timely this time, and in another month, Zhang Wujin would expire and go down the mountain. At the same time, he also talked about Zhao Ran's many political achievements in the Hongyuan White Horse Academy, saying that these achievements are all in the heart of Zhao Yunlou, and the Yunlou Prison has mentioned it at least three times in public, "The sermon should be like Zhao Zhiran."

At the end of the letter, he reminded Zhao Ran to be careful, saying that Yue Tengzhong had a lot of Xuanyuan views in the past two years, and he heard that every time he had to report the situation of the Song Fan to Ye Du, it was said that Ye Du had dropped the inkstone a few times.

Zhao Ran couldn't help but laugh, this Ye Dushu seems to like throwing things very much, didn't Ye Xueguan just fall for himself? Bai Tengming also fell when he successfully ascended to the abbot of Xizhenwu Palace, and continued to fall after listening to his deeds in charge of the White Horse Academy, and I don't know how many good inkstones he has broken, it's a pity.
