"Master Ji, Brother Junjie, I'm not giving an account, I'm just thinking about how to spend the money that Master Gu helped raise when it arrives."

Han Xiufeng looked at them and continued: "I originally planned to wait for the money to arrive at the bank to make a profit, but the money was donated by officials from the same town and Chongqing Shilin. This year, the imperial court opened the Encore Examination, and the results of the imperial examination have just been released, and next year the imperial court will open the Encore Exam again.

I have donated the money to get a scholar, but if I come to the capital to take the exam or be a candidate but I don’t have a place to live, how will I explain to them then?"

"That's true," Ji Yunfei thought deeply and raised his head and said, "Autumn will be here in two or three months. All motivated students from 14 prefectures and counties will go to Chengdu to take the exam. Even if there is only one candidate in a prefecture or county,

, there are also fourteen new candidates for the imperial examination. In addition to the old candidates who have failed in the examination over the years, at least fifteen or six candidates will come to Beijing to take the examination, but we cannot let people come all the way here without having a place to live."

He Heng frowned slightly and said, "What should we do? Even if the guild hall is renovated before the end of the year, there will only be twelve number one rooms."

In his position, he must seek his own government. Han Xiufeng has been thinking about this matter these days and said confidently: "Master Ji, brother Junjie, I think so. Since Master Gu helped us raise money in his hometown, and raised

We have paid a lot, so we no longer need to worry about not having enough money. It’s a coincidence that the rooms at the back of the clubhouse

It is the property of a bannerman. He and his family live in the inner city, and they have been renting out those rooms to others for some rent. When the results of the palace examination were released, all the Chinese-style and failed candidates left, and those rooms were all empty. I

I'll go and ask him tomorrow if he wants to sell it. If he's willing to sell it and the price is right, I'll buy it and we'll knock it down and rebuild it together."

Ji Yunfei is not Qian Junchen. As a capital official, he has to live in the capital for ten or eight years. And the fourteen prefectures and counties of Chongqing Prefecture have no high-ranking officials in the capital. After the guild hall is renovated, no matter who succeeds Han Xiufeng

Whenever you do anything, you have to listen to him just like now.

Thinking that after the guild hall was renovated, he could not only communicate with his hometown and express friendship, but also invite colleagues and friends to discuss matters, meet friends, and even go to the guild hall for banquets if anything happened at home. Ji Yunfei said decisively: "If he is willing to sell it,

If you buy it, it’s more expensive!”

"Okay, I'll go check on him first tomorrow. If he's willing to sell, I'll have a good talk with him. If he's not willing to sell, I can only buy a few rooms in other places like the provincial library, and rent them out on a regular basis.

During the exam year, it will be freed up for the students who are rushing to take the exam."

Han Xiufeng paused and then said: "But I think he should be able to sell it, because he mentioned to Pan Er more than once that he wanted to sell the dilapidated yard and use the money from the sale to donate to the land. His brother

Working as an errand in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he is probably jealous of seeing his brother making so much money."

Although it was only separated by a wall, Ji Yunfei had never been there before and asked curiously: "Zhixing, how big is his yard and how many rooms does it have?"

"It's bigger than our hotel, with nine rooms in total."

"If I can buy it, I can get two entries in one pass!"

"I thought so too."

Han Xiufeng stood up and sharpened some ink, then found a piece of white paper, picked up the pen and drew a sketch, pointed at the sketch and said: "Master Ji, Brother Junjie, didn't our guild hall sit west to east in the past, with the door opening on the east side?

, if you can buy this courtyard, open the courtyard gate on the west side, and build whatever you want on the side where construction has already started, and plan carefully when entering the west side."

"If we don't have any space, we can't help it. If we have space, we'll build Xiangxian Temple and Wenchang Pavilion!"

"Master Ji, you have a good idea. If there is no Xiangxian Temple and Wenchang Pavilion, what kind of guild hall is it? There is not even a place for worship." Han Xiufeng drew a few strokes on the picture, then turned around and said: "We can build a small hall here.

On the stage, there is a flower hall built here, which is like the provincial hall and has no partition in the middle. It can accommodate twenty or thirty people to discuss things together."

"Build a row of buildings here, also with two floors. Can we build about ten number one scholar's rooms?"

"Building two floors should be no problem."

"Where's the door to the back?"

"How about driving here?"

"Okay, let's drive it here, but we need to listen to what the craftsmen have to say."

"This is natural. There are specialties in the art, and they are the experts."

Yang Juren of Jiangbei Hall also said with great interest: "Mr. Ji, if you can buy the courtyard here and renovate it according to the plan, our Chongqing Guild Hall will be magnificent. Not only the grandeur, but also the toilet, which is right at the end. No.

Like now, facing the gate."

"So it's better to open the main entrance on the west side."

…

Han Xiufeng not only wanted to spend all the money he raised, but also wanted to build the guild hall beautifully and leave a good reputation. He accompanied them around the sketch, and then took out the drafted guild hall regulations from his pocket to ask for help.

Clouds fly past my eyes.

The title is "The Public Discussion Rules of the Guild Hall in the Second Year of Xianfeng".

Organized and well-organized, Ji Yunfei didn't want He Heng and Yang Juren to stand and watch. While he asked them to sit down, he read: "The first article is the intention of the founding. This guild hall is specially used for public transportation and alternate candidates."

It is established by officials and merchants from the same town. No matter how noble it is, merchants from the same town are not allowed to live in the guild hall or store goods in the year of the joint examination. Outside of the year of the joint examination, officials from the same hometown can also stay in the guild hall for a fee..."

He Heng couldn't help laughing and said: "Shopkeeper Wen and the others donated money, so they have to let people live here."

"Yes, Zhixing's word 'no matter how high or low' is used well."

Ji Yunfei raised his head and praised, and then thought about the candidates for the examination, the candidate officials, the museum fees for foreign officials and merchants who came to Beijing to meet the officials and merchants, and the corresponding donation standards. These were all based on the provincial library. Naturally, he would not have any

objection.

"This one is interesting."

Seeing how it will be managed in the future, Ji Yunfei smiled and said: "The guild hall is located in Beijing, a well-established and well-established place. There are shopkeepers who are divided into public management. Every year, the two of them take turns to start the business. The public box, deed paper, silver coins, and the income and expenditure account book are listed on the

Let's make a clear account. All necessary matters must be discussed with the current official in Beijing. Officials in Beijing are also in charge of two people every year. If they take leave for business trips, they will be left to those who stay in Beijing to take over, so as not to be ineffective."

"Master Ji, is this not suitable?" Han Xiufeng put down his tea cup and asked.

Ji Yunfei couldn't help but laugh and asked: "It's not that it's inappropriate, but it seems that our Chongqing government only has four current officials in the capital: me and Qian Junchen, Jiang Haoxuan, and Wang Zhirong. If three of the four of us are on a business trip or taking leave at the same time, how will we make arrangements then?

Keep?"

"Mr. Ji, there are only four of you now, which does not mean that there will only be four in the future. You guys should take care of yourself first and take charge first. When Brother Junjie and Brother Yang are nominated for the gold list next year or are selected, our Chongqing Prefecture will show up in Beijing.

Aren’t there too many official officials?”
