Chen Shuozhen, Zhang Wenzhong, and Lin Hao are just the tip of the iceberg among the various candidates of this year's Yanhuang Academy. In recent days, both Chang'an City and Lantian County have gathered many more than 360 people from the Tang Dynasty. All major taverns and inns are basically full with candidates from all prefectures and counties. Chang'an City and Lantian County, which were already very lively, are now even more lively!
"Master Marquis, my subordinates have recently ordered the county government officials of the third class to strengthen patrols in the city to ensure that no vicious cases will occur due to too many outsiders!"
After lunch at Zuixian Tower, Magistrate He found Li Zexuan and reported "work" alone.
Yanhuang Academy is located in Lantian County. It is undoubtedly closer to the county seat of Lantian County than to Chang'an City. In addition, Lantian County has developed rapidly in the past year, and the roads and environment in the city have been greatly improved. Restaurants and shops Lin Li, so for this Yanhuang Academy admissions examination, a considerable number of candidates chose to stay in Lantian County!
"Well! You did a good job on this matter!"
Li Zexuan nodded and said with appreciation: "The college admissions examination is not only an annual event in Yunshan, but also a grand event in the entire Lantian County. The county government must pay attention to it to ensure that no riots and vicious events occur in Lantian County during the entire examination period. case, we must also ensure the safety of the candidates staying in the city!"
Today, Yanhuang Academy has become the "signature" of the entire Lantian County. When outsiders mention Lantian County, the first thing that comes to mind is Lantian County. Why doesn't Magistrate He understand this? Therefore, starting half a month ago, County Magistrate He has been strengthening the security work in the entire county. Almost all the gangsters and gangsters in the city have been wiped out by the county government officials.
"What the Marquis said is true! I will do my best to ensure the safety of all candidates in the city!"
Magistrate He said confidently.
A few months ago, Li Zexuan ordered Magistrate He to expand the number of county government officials in the third shift. Therefore, Magistrate He now has "more soldiers and generals", and of course he has the confidence to say this to Li Zexuan.
"How is the accommodation situation for the candidates? Are the inns and B&Bs in the city enough? I heard from Mr. Kong Gui that there are more than 6,000 students applying for the College of Engineering and the School of Medicine this time!"
Li Zexuan asked calmly.
Speaking of this, he actually felt a little ashamed. Regarding the accommodation of candidates, he should have paid attention to it long ago, because candidates usually arrived in Chang'an City or Lantian County several days in advance. But he has been so busy recently that he didn't think about the admissions exam until yesterday.
Magistrate He cupped his hands and replied: "Back to the Marquis, I also heard that the number of students applying for the Yanhuang Academy this time is far more than before, so as early as a month ago, I ordered the businessmen in the city to speed up the construction or renovation of the inn. This time in Lantian There are about 3,000 candidates staying in the county, and the inns in the city can basically accommodate them! Among them, the Longmen Inn alone can accommodate more than 300 candidates!"
Thanks to the large number of businessmen in Lantian County, Magistrate He was able to organize such a large amount of manpower, material and financial resources to build so many inns in a short period of time. In the final analysis, it was thanks to Li Zexuan's drastic decision in ordering the establishment of the Department of Commerce. Local reforms have greatly improved the business environment in Lantian County, causing businessmen from other places to rush to settle in Lantian County!
Of course, from this incident, Magistrate He truly realized the power of businessmen for the first time. It turns out that when these businessmen, who are not looked down upon by scholars, unite together and work together to accomplish something, the speed will exceed everyone's imagination!
"Dragon Gate Inn?"
When Li Zexuan heard this, his heart moved, and he couldn't help but be slightly surprised: "Boss Lin's Longmen Inn has been built~?"
A few months ago, Lin Wenyuan told Li Zexuan that he would build a large inn with an architectural style similar to that of Yunshan in Lantian County. He also asked Li Zexuan for the name of the inn. At that time, Li Zexuan said the four words "Longmen Inn" in a wicked way. I didn’t expect that Lin Wenyuan would really dare to use it!
"Go back to the Marquis! This Longmen Inn was just built a few days ago!"
Magistrate He cupped his hands and replied.
"Which square is it in?"
"Qingshunfang!"
"Okay! When I leave the city later, I will just stop by and take a look!"
Li Zexuan nodded and said.
He was a little curious about what the Longmen Inn built by Lin Wenyuan looked like! After all, according to Lin Wenyuan's original intention, he wanted to build Longmen Inn into a "landmark" building in Lantian County!
… … … … …
"Master Hou! This is it~!"
Not long after, at Sun Zifan's urging, Li Zexuan took several students from Yanhuang Academy and left Zuixian Tower, preparing to go to the Academy's secret scientific research base in the workshop. Before leaving the city, he deliberately passed by the Longmen Inn in Qingshunfang. , at this time, guard Liu Feng pointed to the building not far ahead and said.
Li Zexuan looked around and saw a modern townhouse not far in front of him lying on one side of the street. The building had about five or six floors. It was not considered tall in modern times, but this was in ancient times. This building can truly be called a behemoth!
In addition, the flat and solid cement walls, the smooth glass windows, and the architectural style of the entire building are completely another copy of the buildings on Yunshan. Lin Wenyuan is really generous!
Looking at it this way, Longmen Inn is really qualified to become one of the landmark buildings in Lantian County!
"Holy crap! When did there be such a big building in Lantian County~?"
Cheng Chumo was going back to Yanhuang Academy to review his homework, so he came with Li Zexuan. When he saw such a majestic building in front of him, he was shocked. He stared, opened his mouth wide, and exclaimed.
He went to the north for more than half a month, so naturally he didn't know that the Longmen Inn had been built.
"Yes! When did there be such a building in Lantian County? No, this is an inn, Longmen Inn! The name... sounds really interesting!"
Sun Zifan was also surprised.
Although he did not go to the north to exterminate locusts, he has been on Yunshan Mountain for the past month. Even if he occasionally goes down the mountain, he always returns to Chang'an City instead of Lantian County, so he does not know the news about the completion of Longmen Inn.
In front of the Longmen Inn, guests came and went, including some scholars wearing scholar's clothes. Li Zexuan smiled slightly and said: "This Longmen Inn was built by a member of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce. The name implies a fish leaping over the Dragon Gate and being inscribed on the gold medal list. We are in a hurry today, so let’s come and see it another day!”
It is said that the main reason why he went to Yunshan today was to go to the scientific research base of the killer project, understand the progress of the project, and help Li Tai solve practical problems. As for the celebration banquet for the members of the Tianji Brigade, it was just a last-minute idea!
"Yes! The mountain leader is right! This inn stands here. We can come and see it at any time if we want to, but business is more important now!"
Li Tai heard this and quickly echoed.
Whether it's majestic palaces or majestic modern buildings, he has seen enough. He is not curious at all. What he is passionate about and interested in are only those weird technologies!
"Grrrrrr!"
At this moment, there was a sound of rolling wheels on the street. Everyone looked up and saw a new-style carriage from Qiquge slowly driving towards them. A big "Lin" was hung on the flag next to the carriage. "Character.
"Give way! Please give way~!"
The coachman was not very arrogant and domineering. Instead, he was kindly shouting at the pedestrians on the road to give way.
Li Zexuan, Li Tai and others were standing on the roadside, so there was no need to deliberately avoid them. The carriage quickly passed by several people and then went straight to the main entrance of the "Dragon Gate Inn".
"Lin? There seems to be no official named Lin in Chang'an City who can afford Qiquge's new-style carriage, right?"
Li Tai frowned and said doubtfully.
After all, in his opinion, people who can "drive" such luxury cars are usually high-ranking officials!
Li Zexuan shook his head and said, "This is the Lin family's carriage. Oh, it's Lin Wenyuan, the boss behind the Dragon Gate Inn!"
"I see!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Cheng Chumo curled his lips and said, "Hey! The Lin family is really rich!"
While he was talking, the carriage had stopped, and a handsomely dressed young man walked out of it. Although his appearance could not be said to be elegant, he was still handsome. Li Zexuan asked in surprise: "Lin Hao?"
"Huh? Who? Who is calling me?"
Maybe Li Zexuan's voice was a little loud, or maybe Lin Hao's ears were too sensitive. As soon as Li Zexuan finished speaking, Lin Hao suddenly got excited, turned around subconsciously, and saw Li Zexuan three feet away behind him.
"Eh~? Master~?"
Lin Hao was shocked when he saw Li Zexuan, and then rushed towards Li Zexuan without caring about anything.
"Presumptuous..."
Seeing this guy rushing straight towards Li Zexuan like a human cannonball, Liu Feng and Liu Yun were shocked. They quickly drew out their swords and tried to stop him.
Seeing this, Pang Feiji quickly stopped him and said, "Hey! Two brothers Liu, this one is an acquaintance, and the Marquis has met him before!"
On New Year's Eve last year, Li Er took the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to Yunshan to watch the fireworks. The people of Chang'an City "came out in full force" with their families and came to the foot of Yunshan to join in the fun. At that time, Lin Hao and the guards at the foot of the mountain "lied" He claimed that "Li Zexuan was his master. He wanted to sneak up the mountain to watch the fireworks, but he happened to be caught by Li Zexuan. Pang Feiji was also present at the time."
The two brothers Liu Feng and Liu Yun followed Li Zexuan relatively late, so naturally they don't know Lin Hao.
"Uh! Meet Master!"
Seeing Pang Feiji blocking Liu Feng and Liu Yun who were about to draw their swords, Lin Hao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then stepped forward and bowed to Li Zexuan and said, "I have met the master!"
"Master?"
Hearing Lin Hao call Li Zexuan his master, Li Tai's eyes widened. He turned his head and looked at Lin Hao seriously. After being stunned for a moment, he realized and said: "You... you are the one... the super free guy, Ah, it’s a super double—Lin Hao?”
