215 Lin Luo
The largest lake in Jiangnan is called Dahu.
At the beginning, it had no name, and people around it used its area to call it. Over time, this name that felt that it was not as good as the table was fixed and became its official title.
By calling this name, you can see how big it is.
It spans the three palaces, and the most beautiful part is located in Linluo Mansion, so this area is also additionally called Linluo Lake.
Jiangnan is a prosperous place, and Lin Luo is the capital of Jiangnan. You can feel the difference outside the city.
The straight official road is enough to accommodate four horse-drawn carriages running side by side. The weeping willows on both sides of the official road can be seen through the gaps of branches and leaves, with rippling waves and pieces of silver behind.
Xu Wen walked all the dusty dirt road, and as soon as he arrived here, he felt relaxed and happy.
"It's so beautiful." Xu Wen lifted the curtain and looked out, his eyes full of surprise.
In terms of urban construction, of course, ancient times were not as good as modern times, but the contrast between the past and the future was too large, which was even more amazing.
His reaction was normal, Qi Zhengzhou thought it was normal, he stroked his beard and smiled, "Lin Luo Mansion has been built by labor service for a hundred years, and countless migrant workers have been working hard. It is so big that the south of the Yangtze River is the most prosperous place." He raised his finger and pointed to the east and said, "The scenery in the East Lake area is the most beautiful, and the maple is red at this time. When you sign up, I will take you to see it."
"Okay, thank you uncle." Xu Wen was also very interested and responded enthusiastically.
The walls of Linluo Mansion are also very magnificent, with a total of four gates for people to enter and exit, so although the flow of people is larger than that of Tonghe Mansion, it does not cause congestion.
Qi Zhengze had already prepared, and went to the city gate to send a road guide. The guards had tested it and looked at Xu Wen unexpectedly: "I'm here to take the hospital examination? It's a bit late."
"Have the other candidates arrived?" Qi Zhengze took the opportunity to inquire.
"I have arrived a long time ago, and the city is everywhere recently." The soldiers were quite friendly and said a few more words.
"At this time, are you filling up your seat?" The soldiers opposite him suddenly came over to ask when they heard them talking.
"A replacement?" The soldier in front didn't understand what he meant.
"It's the head of the mansion this year. You can directly register for the next exam. After the exam, you're over, so you're late?" The soldier was forty or fifty years old, with a beard and very sharp eyes. He glanced over Xu Wen, not surprised by his youth.
"Brother, this is the case." Xu Wen bowed to him.
The man picked the corner of his mouth under his beard and said, "At this time, it's either Tonghe or Yuanfeng. I'm tired after a few days on the road. Hurry up and go in and rest."
He asked his colleagues to let him go quickly, and he was very prestigious. The colleagues hurriedly stamped Lu Yin and handed it back to Xu Wen them.
Qi Zhengze took Xu Wen and thanked him and drove into the city in a carriage.
Two soldiers looked at the sign on the car, and the younger one said, "Oh, this kind of background is really important. Grass is born in the garden, and grass is born in the pit, and it is smelly grass. It is also like taking the apprenticeship exam. If you don't have money or become a disciple, you can pass the exam!" He spitted on the ground and came to ask for advice from his colleagues, "You said that's Brother Beard?"
"I don't think so." Beard unexpectedly objected to his opinion.
"Ah?" The young man was confused.
"The older one is boss Yuemuxuan, right. I have seen him from time to time. The younger one is a little accustomed to him, and he is very polite to each other. It should not be a family member." Hu Zi said.
The young man slowly savored it and agreed: "You said this really, it doesn't look like a family."
"And that young man was dressed simply, he was sewn by himself, the material was not very good, and his background should not be too high. He was just strange that he was so handsome that he couldn't raise it if he was not a good person. Strange." Beard said in confusion.
"It's worthy of being my brother Beard. I've solved three major cases in Lin Luo. I think you will be promoted to the headmaster soon!" said the young man in admiration.
"Hey! I am helpless and have nothing to do with it. If you are promoted to a captain, just be a little constable!" said Beard helplessly.
Recently, it happened to be the apprenticeship test, and the flow of people in Lin Luo Mansion increased, and Hu Zi was temporarily transferred to guard the city gate.
This job used to be a fat man, and it was common for people to go out to handle things in and out.
But recently, the Governor and the Prefect have been very strict with this matter. Without such an opportunity, this task has become a pure labour, and everyone avoids it.
At this time, beard will be transferred to do this, which shows how marginalized he is.
It was too prominent some time ago, and it attracted everyone's attention...
He sighed in his heart and looked back at the direction where Yuemuxuan's carriage left.
At this age, it is rare to get the head of Yifu. Taking the next round of exams directly in the second exam in a year shows that he is very capable and confident.
But if he really has no background, he would probably have come here.
The Hundred-Tech Test is to get all the talents of the world for the emperor. No matter what the above ideas are, they will change their tune even when they reach the bottom...
Hu Zi sighed again, and this time he sighed to the surface. He shook his head, responded to his colleague's greeting, and went back to continue the procedures for entering the city.
Xu Wen knew nothing about Hu Zi's thoughts. When he entered the city gate, he was immediately attracted by the scene inside the city.
It certainly does not have modern high-rise buildings, spacious roads, and neat and orderly street trees.
Looking around, there are white walls, black tiles, flying eaves and green willows everywhere. The whole city - at least this section at the gate of the city is like a huge garden, with the scenery step by step, and the charm is everywhere.
"It's so beautiful!" Xu Wen exclaimed again. He looked around and even felt a little confused.
The carriage slowed down and walked on the road, the wheels rolled on the bluestone slabs, clear and rhythmic.
On this road alone, Xu Wen had never seen him in other cities, including Tonghefu.
Seeing him like this, Qi Zhengze was in a very good mood and pointed to various parts of the city to introduce him to him.
The general layout here is similar to Tonghe Mansion, and it is divided into four parts: southeast, southwest, west and northwest.
The east is close to Linluo Lake, and it is the most precious. The literati and scholarly aristocratic people all live here, and the best ink treasures can be seen everywhere.
The government office and the Governor's Office are both located in the west. There is also a small lake called Baima Lake, which is named after the white horse drinking water. This area is regarded as the administrative center of Linluo Mansion, and other related offices except the government office are here.
The city gate is the north of the city, and there are two docks not far away. The transportation is the most convenient and the flow of people is large, so it naturally becomes a commercial center.
The south of the city is a gathering place for civilians. The tree-lined river extending from Linluo Lake flows here. The small bridges and flowing water have a unique charm.
Qi Zhengze was very familiar with Lin Luo Mansion and explained it clearly in a few words.
"Yuemuxuan is also in the north of the city, not too far from here." He said to Xu Wen.
"Are we settled in the past now?" Xu Wen asked.
"No, go directly to Lin Luo's Ziyi Office." Qi Zhengze said.
“Where is it?”
"It moved here half a year ago next to Baima Lake in the west of the city." Qi Zhengze looked at Xu Wen and said.
Ziyi Office? Craftsmen's Home?
