    Master Wuse¡¯s answer showed that Zhao Ran was qualified to be conferred the title of ¡°Taoist Priest¡±, but the problem he faced was that he didn¡¯t know where to go to receive the title.

    Of course, before being conferred, he can still continue to cultivate his merit power and convert it into magic power.  According to the five-color master's explanation, although Zhao Ran's Qi Sea has begun to take shape and has reached the advanced conditions, it can still be expanded.  Just like the pond in front of the Five Color Master's Cave, it is no longer possible to build and expand it from the frame - the hilltop is so big, and if it is expanded, the small hilltop will be dug up, but it can be  Trim and expand the corners to try to increase some library capacity.

    Zhao Ran himself does not have the ability to see inside. He can only listen to what the Five Color Master says, and then automatically make up his mind and try to understand it as much as possible.  In fact, he very much hoped that he could legitimately join a Taoist palace and practice Taoism in an upright and upright manner. However, as he continued to deepen his practice in the "Innate Merit Sutra", he had subconsciously felt that his cultivation path might be quite complicated.  It is unique and not something that ordinary Taoist monks can take.

    The simplest question is, when Zhao Ran has been practicing in a secret place for a long time, how can he not break away from the world and how can he continue to do good deeds and accumulate virtue?  Since joining the Qingmiaoqian reform, Zhao Ran's method of doing good deeds through small favors and small favors can no longer satisfy Zhao Ran's need for merit power. He really enjoys the days when every strand of merit power is extremely durable and can be converted into a lot of mana.  If you leave the secular world, it will be difficult to have time or even the opportunity to do some higher-level meritorious deeds, which makes Zhao Ran very hesitant.

    But Zhao Ran sometimes feels that he thinks too much. Is the place of pavilion so easy to enter?  Whether or not the incompetence I showed myself would be taken into consideration is another matter. Is it too nonsense if I just think about whether to join?  Well, in the absence of a chance to teach, it is only proper to find a way to continue to lay the foundation of Qihai.

    After persuading Master Wuse to move to Xiaojun Mountain, Zhao Ran is now seizing the time to be busy with the relocation of the villagers of Changchong Mountain. As for his suggestion of holding an "on-site office meeting" at the Charity Hall, Song Zhiyuan, the prison superintendent, attaches great importance to it, and related matters have been taken care of.  The Song Supervisory Yuan officially took over, but he was left free.

    Although the boundary of Changchong Mountain is within Guyang County, the people in the mountain have actually fled there one after another in the past few years, and the county has never taken it into consideration.  After these people cleared up wasteland and farmed in the mountains and had harvests, the county government office realized that they had to collect land taxes.  However, when the county government officials went into the mountains several times to inspect the fields, they encountered various bizarre things. Therefore, there were rumors of the appearance of the demon in Changchong Mountain. To this day, this is still a no-no-no-no-nonsense zone in Guyang County.

    Over the past few years, the people here have gathered in hundreds of households. Although they do not have to pay for food, their lives are not stable. They are always worried about when the fields they have worked hard to cultivate will be confiscated by the government.  In fact, the common people are not opposed to paying for food. They hope to be recognized by the government and pass on the fields they have cultivated as their family business.  Therefore, when I heard that the land to the west of Jundu Mountain could be conferred, I was very happy. This is a great benefit for Zhao Ran's "contracting" plan - at least he does not need to form a demolition team  .

    The relocation work was very trivial and the various procedures were quite complicated. Fortunately, Wujiyuan and Guyang County Government were very open to Zhao Ran's affairs, so the process was very fast, and various documents and deeds were obtained in one day.  The acquisition of these documents indicates that the tens of thousands of acres of wasteland west of Jundu Mountain can be officially developed. His control rights will last for fifty years. During these fifty years, as long as the Ming Dynasty does not perish, this  The power to control the land will be firmly in his hands!

    He had already found several clerks from the county government office, and as early as July, he had roughly measured and evaluated the wasteland west of Jundu Mountain, and marked out three gathering points in livable places close to the water source.  , tentatively designated as three villages, which are similar to the settlements spontaneously formed by the villagers in Changchong Mountain.

    Throughout August, Zhao Ran was counting the number of households and households in Changchong Mountain. The final plan was that each household would be allocated ten acres of upper field, fifteen acres of middle field, or twenty acres of lower field.  The contract signed between Zhao Ran and Guyang County Government was a "contracting" agreement, so after discussing with County Magistrate Kong, he signed a supplementary contract to grant land on his behalf. In other words, although Zhao Ran only had fifty years of contracting rights,  , but he can grant land on behalf of the government, and Guyang County will sign and confirm the result of the land grant.

    After nearly a year of practicing meritorious deeds, Zhao Ran has gathered a group of capable helpers under him. The most core ones are a group of people in the Taoist Hall, including more than a dozen inspectors such as Guan Er and Lu Jin, and  Taoist priest Jin Jiu received the ultimatum; outside Wuji Courtyard, there were shopkeeper Jin from Jinji Rice Shop, Manager Li from Charity Hall, and others. If necessary, dozens of villagers from Lijia Village could be mobilized.

    With this group of people as helpers, Zhao Ran¡¯sThe wasteland plan is progressing very quickly. Just after September, three new villages have been built on the wasteland west of Mount Jundu.  After Master Wuse agreed to move, Zhao Ran immediately took action. He signed the land contracts for each household in one day, and then immediately organized people to start moving.

    Zhao Ran¡¯s relocation expenses totaled more than 2,300 taels. With such a large cost, he only had one request, which was to allow the villagers to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in their new home.

    On the fourth day of September, Zhao Ran had to put down the land reclamation work he was doing and returned to Wujiyuan. Together with Song Zhiyuan and Sandu, he negotiated matters related to receiving visitors from Long'an Mansion.

    The on-site office meeting held at the Charity Hall is scheduled to be held on the sixth day of September. Visitors from Xizhenwu Palace, Fuyamen, the remaining three county Taoist colleges and county government offices will all arrive on the fifth day of September.  Led by Zhang Jianyuan, those from each county Taoist Yuan are all responsible for the overall responsibility of the Jianyuan. On the government side, although the chief official is not allowed to leave the jurisdiction easily without permission, there are also assistant officials who lead the household and related civil servants to discuss the matter.  , at the same time, the main wealthy gentry in various places were also named by the government, and the head of the family rushed to Guyang County in person, ready to meet at any time.

    Such a grand event is rare for Guyang County in a century. Wujiyuan and the county government have made full preparations. The inns and post offices in the county have been emptied in advance and are specially used to receive guests, while the neighboring county  Several large families in the country have also had their mansions and villas requisitioned for the accommodation of important guests.

    Early in the morning on the fifth day of September, Song Zhiyuan and County Magistrate Kong led people from all walks of life in Guyang County to welcome distinguished guests from all walks of life at the Jieguan Pavilion next to the official road two miles northwest of the county.  Reception, etiquette and other related trivial matters were taken care of by others. Zhao Ran was so happy that he only wore formal Taoist robes and waited in the queue of the eight deacons of Wujiyuan.

    The wealthy gentry from all over the country did not come to the official reception booth, and they were not qualified to be greeted by Guyang County officials and gentry. The main people to be greeted this time were people from the county Taoist courts and county government offices, and of course the most important ones were the distinguished guests from Xizhenwu Palace and government offices.  .

    The first to arrive were the nearest officials from Jiangyou County. They were led by the county magistrate and included a group of more than ten people. After meeting with the county magistrate Kong, the county government secretary introduced them to the inn in the city.  Soon after, He Jianyuan of Jinguangyuan of Jiangyou County arrived. After Song Zhiyuan exchanged a few words with him, he was introduced to the county by Yuan Duchu.

    After waiting for more than half an hour, the visitors from the Shiquan County Government Office and Ningde Courtyard also arrived, and were led into the city to rest one after another, followed by the Pingwu County Government Office and Zhongyang Courtyard.

    After noon, the team led by Chen Tongzhi of the government office approached, and Song Zhiyuan and the county magistrate Kong rushed to visit him. After the drums and music played, drinks were served.  Chen Tongzhi got out of the sedan chair to talk to everyone. During this period, he specially called Zhao Ran over and praised him kindly in front of Song Zhiyuan and Magistrate Kong.

    After County Magistrate Kong personally welcomed Chen Tongzhi into the county government office and settled down, he quickly urged the sedan to return to the reception pavilion. The great god Zhang Jianyuan had not arrived yet, so he did not dare to neglect him.

    At less than three moments, everyone in Wujiyuan, who had been baking under the sun for most of the day, finally saw the driver of Xizhenwu Palace.  Everyone quickly rearranged their clothes and stood solemnly.  When the car came closer, everyone who got off was talking about Bai Tengming. Without waiting for Song Zhiyuan and County Magistrate Kong to ask, Bai Tengming spread his hands and said that Zhang Yunzhao from the prison was delayed, and the car was still behind him, so he needed to wait patiently.
