Like the most troublesome sanitation problem, Zhao Rui actually sent someone to clean it and collect the garbage to the specified place for landfilling.

At this time, there is no plastic or anything like that, so Zhao Rui's arrangement is also an environmentally friendly move.

The cleanliness of the environment is comfortable no matter what era it is, so those candidates who came to take the exam had a good impression of Xiangfan and their desire to stay in Zhao Rui's territory became stronger and stronger.

But the most amazing thing is the construction of public latrines, under Zhao Rui's arrangement, these latrines are placed in densely populated downwind outlets, which are connected to mountain springs and flowing water, making cleaning and sanitation easier.

And because of the building volume of the thatched toilet, it looks like a tea shop and restaurant from the outside, which makes many people who have just come to Xiangfan make jokes.

"Boss, two taels of mixed noodles...... Nima, what a place is this! ”

Or maybe the man hurriedly ran into the women's toilet to drink tea, but he was scolded from time to time.

What people like most is the hygienic environment of this latrine, which does not have the usual unbearable smell, and there are wooden basins with flowing water, which can be washed away at any time.

What the people don't know is that Zhao Rui spent a lot of effort on the construction of the latrine, and collected all the sewage in one place for treatment through pipes buried in the ground.

These pipes are all iron pipes produced in Wanya Prefecture, and they are wrapped with asphalt inside and outside to prevent rust and corrosion, which is still thanks to the natural asphalt that Zhao Rui accidentally discovered, otherwise there is really no good way to deal with it.

It can be said that if you add the transportation costs, building a latrine is really not much cheaper than building a large restaurant.

Zhao Rui's vigorous investment in urban construction can be said to have inadvertently earned enough face for himself, at this time, whether it is from Lin'an, or Dadu, or the ancient capital of Kaifeng, people can't help but be shocked, they feel that Xiangfan is many times better than their city.

Because of the upcoming imperial examination, the teahouse built by Zhao Rui in Fancheng is simply overcrowded, and these people don't seem to be here to drink tea, they are sitting on a bench at the door, holding a piece of hard paper with a number written in their hands, and they are looking at it with their heads probed.

This has become a wonder in Fancheng, which makes everyone who is new to the city wonder.

"Brother, can I ask them what these people are doing?"

"Oh, the new arrival, these people are lining up by number!"

"Why, is the tea here so delicious?"

"Haha, no, no! This is because Mr. Zhang, who is in charge of the imperial examination, works in the teahouse! ”

"Oh......"

The person who asked opened his mouth wide, and he really understood everything in one sentence, and after a while, he also went to the teahouse to get a number, and silently lined up at the back of the line.

At this time, Zhao Rui was also on the second floor of the teahouse, and it was Zhang Zhennan who had some details to confirm, so he brought Zhao Rui to discuss the topic of the imperial examination.

Zhao Rui looked at the long line below from the window, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Zhennan, since you came, the business of my teahouse has been very good, should I give you some commission!" ”

Zhao Rui's ridicule made Zhang Zhennan's face full of bitterness, and there was a stack of paper full of handwriting in front of him, which was being carefully sorted out.

"Lord, I regret it now, this free tea is not so delicious, I can't go downstairs to the toilet now, or you should keep it secret and change my place!"

"Hehe, how can I do it, I have wronged you these days, but you are the touchstone, the meaning of it is extraordinary, you have to deal with it well!"

"Tuk Tuk!" Knock on the door outside.

"Students have come to meet Master Zhang!"

Hearing that someone outside the door asked to see him again, Zhao Rui smiled and said, "Here we go again!" ”

Zhang Zhennan smiled helplessly and shook his head, while Zhao Rui went to open the door with a tea bowl and went to his own single room by the way.

I don't know which family's children are so rich!

Zhao Rui opened the door and saw a young man with a pimple on his face, looking inward with some hesitation.

"Let's go in......"

This is something arranged by Zhao Rui and Zhang Zhennan together, Zhang Zhennan, as the examiner in charge of the imperial examination, has an extraordinary status, if someone passes the examination, it stands to reason that they are all Zhang Zhennan's students.

And some pretentious, or people with real skills, have no shying away from meeting teachers in advance.

But there are too many people who want to ask to see Zhang Zhennan, in case they get his appreciation and reveal a few words, as long as they go back and think about it, it will be a great help for the exam.

Therefore, in order not to trample on the second floor of the teahouse, Zhao Rui directly made a hard rule, before the imperial examination, anyone who wants to meet Zhang Zhennan will be charged an entrance fee, and the ticket price of 1,000 taels of silver will never be bargained, and it is limited to 20 people per day.

The price of a thousand taels of silver is not inexpensive, but even so, twenty tickets per day have to be grabbed.

If you don't queue up outside when the store closes on the first day, you won't be able to buy it the next day!

And this has given birth to a group of scalpers, these are poor families, but flexible people, they scrape together the capital, line up in advance, and sell at a high price the next day, which can really make a lot of money.

If it weren't for the restriction of 1,000 taels of silver, it is estimated that they would be able to send a few more people to line up.

But in this way, Zhao Rui lost the purpose of this plan, so he also sent someone on duty to clean up those familiar old faces.

But there are a lot of people in Fancheng now, and they just need to change people every day.

But the rich people gradually learned better, and they didn't line up themselves, but paid for people, or let their servants line up, which was much cheaper than buying what was in the hands of scalpers.

At the beginning, tickets were particularly sought-after, and at that time, even a ticket could fetch a sky-high price of 3,500 taels!

Such a move has made many people realize that Zhao Rui is really making money, and 20,000 taels of silver a day seems to have fallen out of thin air.

However, Zhao Rui has long been numb to money, and the reason why he designed such a high price is to screen future officials.

To be honest, since it was the Yuan Dynasty and the Song Dynasty that studied the strategy of sending their own people to the imperial examination, and Zhao Rui and Zhang Zhennan had any brains, they had already thought of it.

This initiative to sell tickets was set up to screen these people.

Just imagine, they have the support of the national power behind them, and a thousand taels of silver are naturally drizzle, and they must do their best to increase the opportunity of the imperial examination.

It is estimated that the sky-high ticket was something made by their people.

At the same time, this measure can also identify people who are not particularly good at speculation, a thousand taels of silver is not expensive, even the children of rich families have to weigh it carefully, they do not hesitate to spend huge sums of money in order to become officials, so in the future, when they become officials, it is easier to do corrupt things such as corruption.

So Zhao Rui ordered Zhang Zhennan to write down all these people, and if he didn't pass the imperial examination, he would just say it, but if he passed, one would be counted as one, and all of them would not be counted!

Those who were holding tickets in their hands and their faces were full of excitement, they didn't know that as long as they entered the house, their dream of being an official would come to an end.

The day of the imperial examination is getting closer and closer, and at this time, the northern country is already full of autumn colors, and the weather here in Xiangfan just feels cool, and it is a good weather for outdoor examinations.

Regarding Wuju, although Zhang Zhennan is nominally in charge, it is actually Zhao Gong who is in charge of the scene, because the venue needs to be kept secret temporarily, and Zhao Rui did not disclose this matter.

Literature before martial arts, because the Song Dynasty emphasized literature and light martial arts, there were too many candidates who came to participate in the literary examination, and Zhao Rui also wanted to send him away as soon as possible, so as to slow down the reception capacity of the city with Japanese dramas.

At this time, not only was Xiangfan's inn full, but some houses were full, and when I went out, there were people everywhere, and I couldn't walk, which was also the reason why Zhao Rui felt bored.

The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, Zhao Rui can have a deep understanding at this time, that is, just see a real chapter in the pen, whether it is a mule or a horse, there will be a revelation soon.

The written test was arranged in the open space near the foot of the mountain, and Zhao Rui had already ordered someone to build a shed roof, the air here was fresh and extremely quiet, and it was a good place for the exam.

However, the number of applicants greatly surprised Zhao Rui, and the seats in the examination room were not enough, so Zhao Rui temporarily collected tables, chairs and benches in the city, and then reluctantly sat down.

The number of test papers is enough, because the printing technology at this time is very mature and efficient, if it is not enough, even if it is temporary, it is too late.

Zhang Zhennan attended the exam, explained the discipline of the examination room according to tradition, and then sat on a half-meter-high platform with a table and chair.

Zhao Rui, as the prince, also came to the scene, just to see the excitement.

Zhao Rui looked around at the huge number of candidates, and couldn't help but admire that it was really a variety of things in the world.

Looking at those candidates, some are full of confidence, some close their eyes and sit quietly, some are anxious, not to mention those who have been thinking carefully from the beginning, probing their brains left and right.

Zhao Rui smiled, and after a while, these people would probably be stunned, because although it was nominally a imperial examination, how could Zhao Rui go to the school to take the examination for such a flowery article that had no practical value!

"Brush Brush Brush ~"

In the quiet examination room, the test papers were distributed by a special person, and the sound of paper was particularly obvious.

Sure enough, the candidates let out suspicious voices one after another.

"Hey, this ...... What is this? ”

"Why isn't there a topic for making an article?"

"Oh my God, is this arithmetic!"

"What kind of imperial examination is this, isn't this nonsense!"

"I've been cold for ten years, just let me take this?"

"Protest! We protest! ”

Many people stood up and shouted towards the front desk, expressing their dissatisfaction!

At this time, the people around who distributed the rolls were still helping to maintain order, but in the excited crowd, it was to no avail.

"Silence, silence!"

Zhang Zhennan shouted loudly, trying to suppress the current chaotic scene.

But how can his personal voice be suppressed by the anger of the crowd?

Zhang Zhennan shouted at this time, and he couldn't get half an effect.

"Silence!"

At a critical moment, Zhao Rui suddenly spoke.

With the blessing of Dao power, the voice was like a Hong Zhong, which shook people's eardrums, but Zhao Rui looked like he was just sitting there leisurely, and he didn't even get up.
