I hope not to delay the update. If there is a problem, it is also

Internet problems have absolutely nothing to do with the stock market. Pindao stands firmly by the side of the national team to protect the country!

With the "Agama Enlightenment Sutra" in hand, Jue Yuan achieved the purpose of his trip and left. It had been half a year since he had sneaked into Sichuan and he had been away from the Great Lei Guang Temple for a long time, and he was very worried about it.

Zhao Ran did not try to persuade him to stay. The relationship between him and Jue Yuan was indeed somewhat unclear. It stands to reason that Ming Xia was an enemy country, and Buddhism and Taoism did not tolerate it, and the two had fought many times, and there were many times when they had killed each other. But

Although they tried their best during the fight, after the fight they felt a bit sympathetic to each other. They both felt that the other party's character and temperament were very to their liking, but due to the general situation, they could not have a deep friendship.

After Jue Yuan left, the first autumn harvest began in Junshan, and the people were organized and devoted themselves to it. With the beginning of the autumn harvest, the number of refugees affected by the disaster in Jiangyou County gradually increased. By early October, the number of refugees was surging.

With such momentum, two to three hundred people come to Junshan every day.

According to the previously decided strategy, Lin Shuangwen was responsible for the relief of disaster victims. Checkpoints were set up at various entrances and exits to block all refugees and divert them to the relief point on Xiaojunshan West Road.

After the victims arrive at the relief site, Lin Shuangwen will explain to them the relief policy of Junshan Temple, and then screen the victims. Those who are willing to move here will cut down trees and build houses, and open up flat land for farmland. Those who are not willing to live here for a long time will be organized to participate in Junshan's relief work.

Harvest in autumn to buy enough food for yourself.

The people have a strong sense of rurality, and most of them are unwilling to move here even if they are only one county apart. In the first few days, less than 10% of the people were willing to move here.

In addition to having a strong sense of locality, the people of this era were also quite honest and loyal. They did not pretend that they were going to move because the rations distributed were very different, so as to cheat on food and drink. This surprised Zhao Ran.

Many of the precautionary measures I took were not used.

What everyone at Junshan Temple didn't expect was that they tried their best to promote the relocation policy and made many promises, but it didn't have much effect. It was the autumn harvest that made the victims shaken.

Ordinary people do not easily listen to other people's promises, and they pay more attention to seeing is believing. When they saw the heavy ears of rice in the rice fields, and when they knew that the land under their feet was the first to be plowed, they all had the same idea: wait until this

If a piece of land becomes mature land, what will be the harvest?

Look at the crisscrossing ditches, look at the new houses in the three villages, and listen to the people in Junshan talking about Daochang Zhao’s magical skills...

At the end of the autumn harvest, more than half of the people chose to move here. The number of Dingkou in Junshan exceeded 6,000 in one fell swoop! Jin Jiu and Lin Shuangwen divided the 2,000 newly moved victims into two parts, one part at the relief point on the west side of Xiaojunshan

The village was built on this site, and another village was built in a small basin seven miles northeast. Zhao Ran named them "Shangxin Village" and "Xiaxin Village" respectively.

A piece of flat land has just been opened in Shangxin Village and Xiaxin Village, and the houses in the villages have not yet been built. In order to give these new immigrants from Junshan a house to live in as soon as possible, Zhao Ran organized all the young people who had just harvested the grain to help build wooden houses.

.

In November, the wooden houses in the two new villages were completed, and the new immigrants happily moved into their new homes.

The next step is to develop the basin where the two villages are located. Cut down the woods, level and renovate the land, and build a channel to bring down the spring water from the mountain. This project is very large and will not be accomplished overnight. But once the project is completed,

Once completed, the farmland under the jurisdiction of Junshan Temple will be 8,000 acres more!

These two areas of cultivated land were originally dense forests. They were not included in the government's field registers. The most important thing is that this is the junction of Jiangyou County and Guyang County. It belongs to the "Three No Ones" zone, so Zhao Ran is not planning to use this land.

Report to the government. All the output here can be kept for your own use.

Half of the victims are still unwilling to move, but they are not able to return to their hometowns for the time being. They need to spend the winter here and wait until the floods completely recede and the epidemic is eliminated before they can go back to spring plowing - of course, they also have to find ways to get seeds and grains

, otherwise there will be no good life after returning home.

Zhao Ran estimated that after next spring, half of the more than 2,000 victims will most likely choose to stay, so they have been providing relief rations to them. Of course, it is impossible to let them eat and drink for free, and some of them need

They continue to work and help open up wasteland, while others have to build workshops under the leadership of master craftsmen to remove branches from the felled trees, polish them, and dry them as raw materials for furniture production.

Jin Jiu selected dozens of Junshan people to enter Jundu Mountain, take advantage of the slack time to build clay kilns, and start construction of ceramic workshops. These people will serve as apprentices and learn the skills of making pottery and firing porcelain under the guidance of master craftsmen.

Of course, the craftsman was finally deceived by Zhao Ran into settling in Junshan. Not only was he promised huge profits, but he also promised to give him shares in the ceramics workshop, otherwise it would be impossible for the craftsman to teach him this skill.

For a while, Master Wuse was unlucky. He was pulled by Zhao Ran to work hard. He was cutting trees in the forest, digging ditches in the mountains, digging holes for clay, and plowing the ground with his beak and claws. He was very busy.

Almost.

Zhao Ran has completely used the Five Color Master as a bird-shaped automatic multi-purpose agricultural machine. What he has paid for it is only various delicacies, which is completely disproportionate to the harvest.

In the winter of the 16th year of Jiajing, Zhao Shenxian once again gained a large number of believers in the Junshan area. The early people saw the heavy grains and worshiped him even more. The victims of Jiangyou County survived because of him, and most of them saw a better life in the future.

hope, and also join the ranks of believers.

This winter, Zhao Ran gained a lot of merit, and for the first time, the refining speed could not keep up with the increase in merit. He practiced day and night, and his mana increased sharply every day.

On the first day of the seventeenth year of the Jiajing reign, thousands of people came to Junshan Temple to offer incense in the Jade Emperor's Hall, express their gratitude to Zhao Shenxian, and pray for good weather in the coming year. Zhao Ran personally presided over a grand fasting ceremony to pray for Junshan and the people.

.

At the end of the Zhaijiao, his popularity reached its peak, and the people fell at his feet one after another, expressing their admiration for the beloved Zhao Shenxian in their hearts.

The power of merit is rapidly filling the air sea, and the transformed mana is rising at a speed that can be clearly perceived. Zhao Ran could throw more than ten firework talismans in one breath before, but now the number has grown to more than forty.

This is equivalent to a fourfold increase in the upper limit of mana!

When the Lantern Festival passed, Zhao Ran found that the increase in the upper limit of his mana began to slow down significantly. In short, the sea of ​​qi in his body had been filled to the point of no return. However, the power of merit was still accumulating rapidly. These accumulations

Because the merit power cannot be refined into magic power, it is stored in the sea of ​​​​qi in a very mysterious way.

The space and holding capacity in the sea of ​​​​qi are limited. Now both the power of merit and the power of magic have filled the sea of ​​​​qi, but the two are not exclusive, or there is no intersection. It is as if the two seas of qi occupy a place.

, or in other words, a sea of ​​qi has two spaces, and they overlap but are not mutually exclusive.

Zhao Ran still gained a large amount of merit power every day, but he painfully discovered that the speed of refining his magic power had been declining. He felt the gradually increasing merit power but was unable to do anything. Zhao Ran was very depressed.

From the perspective of magic power, Zhao Ran knew that he was on the verge of breaking through. This is the scary thing about cultivating merit power. When there is no merit, nothing can be practiced, but once you have a large amount of merit, you can transform it through practice.

The speed is unparalleled. Compared with the normal cultivation methods of Buddhism and Taoism, its speed is more than ten times faster!

But Zhao Ran couldn't break through the realm because his cultivation had a big shortcoming - he simply didn't have enough condensed essence.

The main purpose of practicing in the Taoist realm is to condense the essence, and then combine the essence with magic power to form invisible and colorless energy. After the essence fills the sea of ​​​​qi, it will be in the state of three flowers gathering on top. This is considered to be in the Taoist realm.

.

Zhao Ran's mana is almost full now, but the essence is insufficient, and the energy formed is far from being full. Therefore, he cannot enter the Taoist realm, and cannot break through the level of cultivation. The increased merit power can only be accumulated and stored.

, unable to continue refining.
