The five-color master blinked his eyes and thought for a while, and asked, "Miao Zhu, are you not the master of the party?"
Zhao Ran smiled: "Daomen decided to set up Junshan Temple here, and the first temple Zhu is poor Dao." β
The five-color master was puzzled: "When did it happen?"
"Five days ago. β
"Giggles, it doesn't matter if you're a temple or a master, it's the same anyway. Okay, little Taoist, where is your Taoist temple?"
"Poor Dao is ready to set up Junshan Temple in this mountain!"
"Little Taoist, this clear spring was promised to me, don't you want to deny it?"
"Master don't be impatient, Poor Dao has no idea of fighting with you for land, you can cultivate with peace of mind, and I will build my Junshan Temple. β
"And where are you going to build it?"
Zhao Ran pointed to the three Jin Jiu people waiting at the foot of the mountain: "Do you see those three people? They are my subordinates, and the position where they are standing is the place where Junshan Temple is established." β
The five-color master looked at the clearing at the foot of the mountain, and chuckled, "Whatever you want, I haven't seen anything good in this place...... When building the temple, the movement should be lighter, don't disturb my cultivation. β
Zhao Ran said with a smile: "Master rest assured, the poor Dao knows it." By the way, Master, Poor Dao wants to borrow your clear spring for use. β
"Borrow?"
"Yes, don't worry, it won't mess with your feng shui. With that, Zhao Ran came to the edge of the platform and buried three jade pendants in the place where the clear spring flowed.
These three jade pendants are the array plate magic weapons that Zhao Ran refined overnight after learning that he was going to serve as the temple Zhu of Junshan Temple, and they are also the second set of magic weapons he refined, and he named it "Sancai Town Ling Pei". It sounds a bit bluffing, but in fact it is very simple. It is a minor cultivation instrument contained in the "Instrument Spectrum" for monks to gather aura and prevent it from overflowing, formerly known as "Zhen Ling Pei", which was refined into three pieces by Zhao Ran, and formed a magic circle according to the three talents of heaven, earth and man, in addition to gathering spiritual energy. It also has the function of driving and directing the flow of spiritual energy.
Zhao Ran's choice of the place to arrange the formation was also very ingenious, just at the key point of the turning point of the Qingquan Qi Engine, and the three talents of the TongguΓ² were converted, which finally made the Qingquan change the direction of flow. Qingquan changed lanes, and according to the direction chosen by Zhao Ran in advance, it flowed down from the other side, forming a new stream. This stream road is from top to bottom, along the terrain, in the range of tens of zhang high and low. Waterfalls, pools, streams, and many other landscapes appear in turn, and finally a pothole is formed at the edge of the clearing at the foot of the mountain, and a new waterhole can be formed in a few days.
With such a change, Zhao Ran's site at the foot of the mountain immediately formed a place with excellent feng shui.
The five-color master saw Zhao Ran finish arranging, and then said in surprise: "Giggles, the little Taoist is really a good method." β
After Zhao Ran finished changing the feng shui, he didn't bother much. After chatting with the five-color master, he went down to Xiaojun Mountain. At this time, in addition to Jin Jiu, Guan Er and Lu Jin, there were two more people in the triangle. One is the manager of the Charity Hall, and the other is the golden shopkeeper of the Jinji Rice Shop.
Since the assassination of Zhang Jianyuan, Kong Xianling has been in fear, no matter how keen he is on his career, no matter how much he wants to make political achievements, he can't stop the fear of death. Since the beginning of this month. The governance policy of the Confucian County Order began to be fully retracted, and there was no mention of the reform of Qingmiaoqian, let alone the danger of land annexation, and he hid in the county government office all day long, and did not go out of the gate. The second door did not move, as if it had disappeared all of a sudden, and even Zhao Ran's visit said that he was sick.
According to Jin Jiu's small report, after hearing that Song Zhiyuan was transferred far away and Zhao Ran was demoted, Kong County Ling went out again in the past two days, intensively visited Zhang, Zhou, Jiao and other Guyang gentry, and also asked about the transfer of the house, how many remains of the confiscated Long's family wealth, and seemed to have the idea of returning it.
As for Jin Jiu, who made the report, Zhao Ran asked him, saying that he had the opportunity to prepare to visit the county lieutenant Jin, and he didn't know when it would be convenient for the county lieutenant Jin. This time, the Jin family was really "pitted" by Zhao Ran, and the Jin County Lieutenant made a lot of efforts to suppress the joint of the local gentry by force, and he was the most famous, and his life was quite difficult now. Zhao Ran was ready to appease and appease the county lieutenant Jin, after all, the county lieutenant Jin was different from others, he had been firmly tied to his chariot, and he couldn't cross the river and tear down the bridge no matter what, right? Zhao Ran still has this kind of professional ethics.
Zhao Ran has completely lost power in Wuji Academy, and the charity hall he founded will inevitably be implicated, and when Dong Zhikun really masters Wuji Academy, the good days of the charity hall will become a thing of the past. Therefore, Zhao Ran was going to relocate the Charity Hall to the ground of Junshan, and this time he called Steward Li to rush here just to select a site.
In addition to the Charity Hall, the life of the shopkeeper of Jin Ji Rice Shop is also not good, it is already certain that the business of providing food for Wuji Courtyard is destined to end, maybe three or five days later, maybe at the end of this month, anyway, it will not pass last year's close. It just so happened that Junshan had just begun to reclaim the land, and there would be a food shortage for most of the year until the harvest next year, so Zhao Ran also recruited the golden shopkeeper and prepared to hand over this business to him.
Not only to be able to share wealth and wealth, but also to be able to share hardship, this is Zhao Ran's principle.
Of course, Zhao Ran didn't do anything good and didn't directly smash people with silver, and a business that couldn't be mutually beneficial was definitely not a good business, so he was aiming at the thousands of stones of grain stored in Jinji Rice Shop. With these grains in hand, Zhao Ran can hold on until April next year without doing anything.
After choosing the address of the charity hall with Steward Li, and negotiating an independent contract agreement with the shopkeeper Jin for the import of grain from the Junshan area, the two people immediately rushed back to Guyang County to prepare.
Zhao Ran and Jin Jiu, Guan Er, and Lu Jin began to discuss the start of construction of Junshan Temple. This is where they will "work and fight" in the future, so Jin Jiu and others are full of enthusiasm and actively participate in the activities of offering advice and suggestions. After talking about it, Zhao Ran simply stopped talking and let Jin Jiu and the others agree on a building plan.
In the final finalized plan, the whole Taoist temple sits in the north and faces south, covering an area of about one and a half acres, divided into three entrances before and after, a total of four small courtyards. The first courtyard of the main gate in the south is the main hall, that is, the temple dedicated to the immortal master of the Daomen; the second courtyard to the north is the squatter house, that is, the living area, and from left to right it is divided into two small courtyards of different sizes, the larger one on the east side is the residential area, and the smaller one on the west side is the miscellaneous courtyard; and then the third courtyard to the north is the backyard, which encloses the silent spring pond flowing after the diversion of Xiaojun Mountain in the middle, and is ready to plant some flowers, plants, fruits and vegetables.
Junshan Temple is roughly such a simple layout, in fact, if it were not for Zhao Ran's insistence, even Quantan would not be within the scope of the Taoist Temple, because one hundred taels of silver was not enough at all, so Zhao Ran had to pay out of his own pocket and put fifty taels into it.
As soon as the plan came out, we immediately started to act.
Since the end of last year, Zhao Ran has done a lot of construction work and got acquainted with a group of masons in Guyang County, three of which are more outstanding and have been recruited to Junshan by Guan Er in advance. Guan Er roughly told them about the plan, so the three of them began to measure and draw pictures around the open space.
Two days later, the sketch was made. Zhao Ran didn't have any opinions, but Jin Jiu and the others tossed it. After another day of revision, he finally took out the official drawings, and Zhao Ran waved his pen and was approved, so he immediately started work.
Most of the dozens of people who have been rescued by the charity hall for a long time have participated in Zhao Ran's work of "labor for food", and have more or less some experience in building houses.
The progress of quarrying is relatively slow, according to the craftsmen, with this amount of manpower, it takes more than a month just to prepare the stone. Zhao Ran really didn't have the patience to wait, so he rushed to the quarry site in person, ready to show his skills, show his mana, and burn the stone with fire. Zhao Ran had taken the Scattered Bone Pill, although he didn't have a straight bone, but there were already a few people who knew that he had mana, and Uncle Dazhuo and Xiaozhuo also specially sent him a basic introductory Taoist book for his cultivation. Therefore, it is pointless to hide it any longer, but after it is displayed, it may still make people with ulterior motives jealous.
But when he rushed to the quarry with confidence, there were already piles of fires burning at the scene, and the rocks were being burned. He watched dejectedly for a moment, until cracks appeared in the hot rock when it was drenched in cold water, and he could not think of anything else he could do, so he returned in frustration.
At this moment, Zhao Ran had never been so eager to be assigned the position. (To be continued......)
