Chapter 22 The Old Guard

Whining is whining, reality is reality. The reality is that Dong Zhikun has the support of Xizhen Martial Palace, even if the others in Wuji Courtyard are dissatisfied, they can only swallow their anger and watch, there is no way at all.

After Liu Zhiguang complained to Zhao Ran, his heart was a little more relaxed, and he said: "Senior Brother Zhao, if I were you, I would not have stayed in Wuji Courtyard a long time ago, and I would devote myself to the immortal places in Huayun Pavilion and other immortals, cultivate my own immortals, and enjoy my own blessings, how good!"

Zhao Ran said: "Senior brother, I was born to work hard, if I don't do something, my heart will not be steady, and my thoughts of cultivation will not be smooth." When it comes to doing things, there is something I want to ask my senior brother for advice, and I also ask my senior brother to help. ”

"Although the junior brother speaks, everything I can do will be followed!"

"Senior brother knows, I serve as a temple minister in Junshan, not only to manage the affairs of the jungle in the ten directions of the gate, persuade people to teach, but also take into account civil affairs. Junshan's place is too remote, it's really poor......" Zhao Ran began to complain.

Liu Zhiguang asked: "Didn't you say that more than 20,000 acres of fertile land have been newly opened and 2,000 households have been resettled?"

“...... Senior brother, you also said, the newly opened, where is the ripe field in the raw land? Now there are indeed more people, but half of them are relocated from the mountains, and the other half are disaster victims and displaced people, who simply have no permanent property and are so poor that they are so poor!"

"I see......"

"If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, have more children, and cut down more trees......"

"Although this statement is vulgar, it is very reasonable, but I don't know who said it?"

“...... Well, what the sages said, the sages ......"

"Which sage? Senior disciple knows that I am a high-ranking meritorious person in the academy and have the responsibility of passing on the profession and teaching the Tao, and it seems that such aphorisms and aphorisms should be recorded and compiled. ”

Zhao Ran coughed dryly twice: "...... Cough...... I don't remember this junior brother clearly, but this is not the point, the point is, I thought about it, if you want the people of Junshan to be well fed and clothed, you must come out of that mountain lump. Only by taking out the special products in the mountains and exchanging them, exchanging the salt and iron needed by the people into the mountains, so that the people in the mountains can come out and see the world, and so that the children in the mountains can receive education, can the problem of poverty be solved from the root. ”

After finishing his short speech, Zhao Ran waved his hand: "If you want to do all this well, you must build roads!"

Liu Zhiguang was a little distracted for a moment, then rubbed his eyebrows, and asked, "Senior Brother Zhao, if you want to build a road, should you talk to the county magistrate?"

Zhao Ran smiled: "The Kong County Order has already been negotiated!"

"That'...... Is it because of the lack of financial resources? I can't help you with this, you should probably go to the Board of Directors and the Supervision Institute to see if his iron rooster is willing to pluck his feathers. ”

Zhao Ran continued to smile: "There is also money, and there is no need to pay a copper in the courtyard." ”

"Senior Brother Zhao, just say it clearly, what do you need me to do?"

Zhao Ran hurriedly took out the map of Guyang County from his sleeve, spread it out on the table, pulled Liu Zhiguang over, pointed to the planned route, and then fixed it on a small river: "Senior brother, my road is going to cross the river by building a bridge from here, and here are all senior brother's fields, I have calculated it, one zhang wide and half a mile long, about equal to one and a half acres, count you two acres of land, senior brother, sell it to me?"

Liu Zhiguang took a sip of tea and choked out, stared at Zhao Ran with beads of eyes, and said, "Senior brother, that is a good paddy field, my Liu family will be heirloom in the future, is it too extravagant for you to use to build roads?"

Zhao Ran sighed: "I can't help it, senior brother, if I don't open the road from here, I will go out thirty miles around." ”

Liu Zhiguang shook his head again and again: "No, think of another way, my paddy field was passed through the middle by you, what is going on......?

"The good paddy field at the market price is sixteen taels per acre, and I count it as two acres for one and a half acres of your house, and I will give you thirty-two taels!"

"Senior brother, don't be embarrassed for me, senior brother, this land is the ...... I saved with great difficulty"

"Fifty taels!"

"Senior brother, why are you eyeing my family......"

"One hundred taels!"

"Deal!"

"Senior brother, you have taken a big advantage, and when the road is repaired in the future, your home will be convenient. ”

"Haha, then thank you for your trouble!"

Liu Zhiguang's matter was negotiated, and Zhao Ran didn't want to stay with Wuji Courtyard, with Dong Zhikun and his gang, he felt that Wuji Mountain was very depressed.

In order to celebrate the happy cooperation, before leaving, Liu Zhiguang sent Zhao Ran a message that Luo Du was sick.

"What kind of disease, is it serious?" Zhao Ran asked. If it's just a headache and fever or something uncomfortable, Zhao Ran doesn't mind making a move and uses mana to help Luo Duguan recuperate. Or simply give Luo Duguan a pill of heart-nourishing pills, add a neutralizing formula to him, and let him soak in the soup and drink it for a month to ensure that the medicine is cured.

Back then, Zhao Ran bought off the old man with a lot of money and asked him to help him in the matter of being punished, and afterwards Zhao Ran knew the process of the Sandu deliberations, and the old man played a very important role in it, so that Zhong Tenghong, who was in charge of the prison at the time, couldn't make up his mind for a while, so the old abbot Shi Yun decided the way of admission.

You can say that this old man is greedy for money, but Zhao Ran feels that his character is very guaranteed, at least he will do things for you sincerely after taking the money, which is much better than most people.

When the old abbot Shi Yuncheng passed away, the Taoist priests of the whole courtyard planned to plead to the West Zhenwu Palace, and asked the public to push Luo Duguan to take over as the abbot to "ascend", but he was suppressed by the West Zhenwu Palace, the reason was that the Wuji Court was responsible for Zhang Yunzhao's case, and it was not appropriate to promote the abbot at this time. After that, it was pressed for three years, and there was no follow-up. Zhao Ran wondered if Luo Laodu's condition would be related to heart disease.

Therefore, Zhao Ran decided to visit him.

Luo Duguan lived not far away, and it was only a few courtyards away from Liu Zhiguang's high-performance room, so Liu Zhiguang simply accompanied Zhao Ran there. At this moment, the courtyard was full of the bitter smell of boiling medicinal soup, and several fireworkers were busy taking care of it.

Luo Duguan was lying on the bed, drowsy, Liu Zhiguang gently called in his ear: "Old Duguan, have you slept?" Zhao Zhiran came to see you old. ”

Luo Duguan slowly opened his eyes, looked at the two people who were bent over in front of the bed, and said weakly: "Are you here? Zhao Zhiran is also here?" Okay, thank you for coming to see me." As he spoke, he propped up the bed with his hands and was about to get up.

Zhao Ran stretched out his hand to support his back, picked him up and leaned against the head of the bed, and let a trace of mana pass by the way. The mana didn't dare to penetrate into the meridians of the old capital, just wandering around his back, his face showed a red light, and his spirit recovered a lot.

Luo Duguan smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Sure enough, it is the method of the immortal family, Zhao Zhiran, you are now an immortal master, I am happy for you." In the past two years, three immortal masters have walked out of my Wuji Academy, one of you, one of Zhu Zhimeng, and Yu Zhiyuan, which is a sign of the great prosperity of my Wuji Mountain. ”

Liu Zhiguang and Zhao Ran were both listening attentively next to them, and the more the old man spoke, the more excited he became: "...... Thousands of years ago, Wuji Mountain was also a fairy cave, and the fax great heavenly master Du Guangting once cultivated in my Wuji Mountain, and the pair of plaques on our mountain gate was written by the fax heavenly master himself......"

The old man talked for half an hour, and then gradually squinted, leaned against the head of the bed and snored. Zhao Ran carefully flattened him, and then went out lightly with Liu Zhiguang.

"How is it? Can it be cured?" asked Liu Zhiguang.

"The old man is old this year?"

"Sixty-seven years old. ”

"It's not a disease, it's the end of the road. ”()
