ps: Thank you Yangzhigang, Eat and Support 2003, Lan Shengcong, Eagle Zhou for the reward, thank you for the heart's uplift, blazing kiss, Xiao Xifeng 7030, preacui, zho8888, clouds of rain, xingyx, Wudang Yijian Ziyan, Shi Ran, Little Goldfish 3, Lan Shengcong and other Taoist friends for their monthly ticket encouragement, the first time to recover so many monthly passes, smashed the poor road a little panting!

By the way, Brother Yangzhigang has been promoted to elder, and the poor road must be added, and he owes a chapter for the time being, and he will pay it back in a few days.

The answer of the five-color master showed that Zhao Ran already had the qualifications for the title of "Taoist", but the problem he faced was that he did not know where to go to accept the position.

Of course, before the conferment, he could still continue to cultivate merit power and transform it into mana. According to the explanation of the five-color master, although Zhao Ran's qi sea has begun to take shape and has reached the conditions for advancement, it can still continue to be extended. It's like the pond in front of the five-color master's cave, it is impossible to add and expand it from the frame - the hill where it is located is so big, and if it is expanded, this small hill will be dug up, but the corners and corners can be trimmed and expanded, and the storage capacity can be increased as much as possible.

Zhao Ran himself has no ability to see inside, no matter what the five-color master says, he can only listen, and then automatically make up for it and try to understand. In fact, he very much hoped that he could rightfully join a certain pavilion of the Daomen, and cultivate the Dao Dharma ⊥ ↙ in a dignified manner, but with his continuous deepening of the practice of the "Innate Merit Sutra", he had already subconsciously felt that his cultivation path was probably quite unique, and it was not the path that ordinary Daomen monks could take.

The simplest question was how Zhao Ran could not break away from the world when he had been cultivating in the Hidden Land for a long time. How can we continue to do good deeds and accumulate virtues? Since meddling in the reform of Qingmiao Qian, Xiao En Xiaohui's way of doing good can no longer meet Zhao Ran's demand for merit power, and the kind of merit power that can be transformed into many days is really happy for him. If you are detached from the world, it is difficult to have at least the time or even the opportunity to do some meritorious deeds of a higher level. This made Zhao Ran very hesitant.

However, Zhao Ran sometimes felt that he thought too much, the land of the pavilion was so easy to enter? The waste roots and bones that he had come out of his own table were not considered by others, and he thought about whether to join, would it be too nonsense? Okay, in the case of not having the opportunity to confer the throne, it is only right to find a way to continue to do a good job of laying the foundation of the Qi Sea.

After persuading the five-color master to move to Xiaojun Mountain, Zhao Ran is now busy with the relocation of the villagers of Changworm Mountain, as for the construction of the "on-site office meeting" in the charity hall that he proposed, because Song Zhiyuan, the prison hospital, attaches great importance to it. The relevant affairs have been officially taken over by the Song Supervision Yuan, and he has been left idle.

Although the boundary of Changworm Mountain is in Guyang County, in fact, the people in the mountains have fled into it one after another in the past few years, and the county has not been able to take care of it. It was only after these people had cultivated in the mountains and had harvested that the county government realized that they had to collect land taxes. But when the county officials went into the mountains several times to inspect the fields, they encountered all kinds of bizarre and strange things, so there were rumors of the appearance of the demons of Changworm Mountain until today. This is still the three-regardless zone of Guyang County.

Over the years, hundreds of families have gathered here, although they do not have to pay food. But life is not stable, and I am worried all day long, not knowing when the fields I have worked so hard to cultivate will be confiscated by the government. In fact, the common people are not resistant to paying grain, they prefer to be recognized by the government and pass on the fields they have cultivated as a family inheritance. Therefore, as soon as I heard that it was possible to grant land on the land west of Cointreau Mountain. I was very happy in my heart, which was a great benefit to Zhao Ran's "contracting" plan - at least he didn't have to set up a demolition work team.

The relocation work is very trivial, and the various procedures are quite complicated, but fortunately, Wuji Courtyard and Guyang County Ya have opened the door to Zhao Ran's affairs all the way. Therefore, it is very fast to handle, and I can get all kinds of deeds in one day. The arrival of these deeds shows that the tens of thousands of acres of wasteland west of Cointreau Mountain can be officially developed, and his control over it will be as long as fifty years, and in these fifty years, as long as the Ming Dynasty does not fall, this land control will be firmly in his hands!

He had already found a few scribes from the county government houses, and in July he had already made a rough survey and assessment of the wasteland west of Cointreau Mountain, and demarcated three gathering points in habitable places close to the water source, tentatively designated as three villages, which were also similar to the spontaneous settlements formed by the villagers in Changworm Mountain.

Throughout August, Zhao Ran counted the number of households and Dingkou of the villagers in Changworm Mountain, and the final plan was that each household would be given 10 mu of upper field, or 15 mu of middle field, or 20 mu of lower field. Zhao Ran signed a "contract" agreement with the Guyang County Ya, so after discussing with Kong County, he signed a contract to grant land on his behalf, that is to say, although Zhao Ran only had the right to contract for 50 years, he could grant land on behalf of the government, and Guyang County signed and confirmed the result of granting land.

Zhao Rantong Guò has been cultivating merit for nearly a year, and he has gathered a group of capable helpers under his hands, the core of which is a group of people in the Taoist Hall, including more than a dozen inspectors such as Guan Er and Lu Jin, as well as the Taoist priest Jin Jiu; outside the Wuji Courtyard, there are the golden shopkeepers of the Jinji Rice Shop, the Li Steward of the Charity Hall and others, and if necessary, dozens of villagers in Lijia Village can also be mobilized.

With these people as helpers, Zhao Ran's plan to open up the wasteland progressed quite rapidly, and just into September, three brand-new villages were built on the wasteland west of Cointreau Mountain. After the five-color master agreed to move, Zhao Ran immediately took action, signed the land deeds of each family in one day, and then immediately organized people to start the relocation.

Zhao Ran's relocation expenses totaled more than 2,300 taels, and the cost was so large that he had only one request, to let the villagers spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in their new homes.

On the fourth day of the ninth lunar month, Zhao Ran had to put down the land reclamation affairs in his hand, returned to Wuji Courtyard, and negotiated with Song Zhiyuan and Sandu on matters related to the reception of visitors from all parties in Long'an Mansion.

The on-site office meeting held at the Charity Hall is scheduled to be held on the sixth day of September, and visitors from the West Zhenwu Palace, the government office, and the other three county provincial courts and county offices will all arrive on the fifth day of September. Led by the Zhang Prison Yuan, the county provincial courts are all responsible for the general responsibility of the prison courts, the government side, although the chief official is not allowed to leave the jurisdiction without permission, but there are also Zuo Er officials leading the household and related clerks to discuss, at the same time, the main gentry and big families in various places are also named by the government, and the head of the family personally rushed to Guyang County, ready to meet at any time.

Such a grand event is rare for Guyang County in a hundred years, Wuji Yuan and the county government have made full preparations, the inns and pavilions in the county have been emptied in advance, specially used to receive guests, and several large families in the neighboring county have also requisitioned mansions and villas for the main guests to stay.

Early in the morning on the fifth day of the ninth lunar month, Song Zhiyuan and Kong County Ling led people from all walks of life in Guyang County to greet distinguished guests from all walks of life at the official pavilion next to the official road two miles northwest of the county seat. Reception and etiquette and other related trivial matters were taken care of by others, and Zhao Ran was happy to be idle, wearing only formal robes, waiting in the queue of the eight deacons of Wuji Academy.

The gentry from all over the country do not go to the official pavilion, and they are not qualified to let the official gentry of Guyang County greet them, and the main ones to greet this time are the people from the county Taoist courts and county yas, and of course, the most important thing is the distinguished guests of the Xizhenwu Palace and the government office.

The first to arrive was the nearest Jiangyou County official, led by the county Cheng, a group of more than ten people, and after meeting with the Kong County Order, there was a county government director book into the city inn. Soon after, the He Prison of Jinguang Academy in Jiangyou County arrived, and after Song Zhiyuan exchanged a few words with him, he was introduced into the county seat by Yuan Duchu.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the visitors from Shiquan County Ya and Ningde Yuan also arrived, and they were successively introduced into the city to rest, followed by Pingwu County Ya and Zhongyang Yuan.

After noon, the team of the government official Chen Tongzhi arrived, and Song Zhiyuan and Kong County Ling rushed forward to pay a visit, and after the drums and music were played, they served wine. Chen Tongzhi came out of the sedan chair to talk to everyone, and during this time, he specially called Zhao Ran over and praised him in front of Song Zhiyuan and Kong County.

After the Kong County Commander personally welcomed Chen Tongzhi into the county yahou hall and settled down, he hurriedly urged the sedan chair to return to the official pavilion.

In less than three moments, the people of Wuji Courtyard, who had been roasting under the sun for most of the day, finally saw the car of Xizhenwu Palace. Everyone hurriedly reorganized their clothes and stood solemnly. Before the car drove closer, the people who came down were all talking about Bai Tengming, and without waiting for Song Zhiyuan and Kong County Ling to inquire, Bai Tengming spread his hands, saying that Zhang Yunzhao in the prison was delayed, and the car was still behind, so he needed to wait patiently.
