Chapter 354: City Meeting
"But our shelter always has a name, what do you say is the best name?" Zhang Hanlin asked.
A few women were worried, and it was still a little difficult for them to come up with a name, and they all frowned.
Bai Lingxuan proposed: "Otherwise, it will be called Hanlin Academy." ”
"Well, this is good. ”
"That's a good name. ”
Lele and the others echoed one after another, and even Miss Li'er said: "This shelter was built by Zhang Gongzi, and it is best to name it after Zhang Gongzi." ”
"No, how can this work. Zhang Hanlin immediately refused when he heard it, naming it after his own name.
"Change the name. Zhang Hanlin said.
Bai Lingxuan's eyes rolled and said with a smile: "Brother Hanlin, since you can't name it by name, let's name it with your character, just call it Daorenyuan, this should be done, right?"
Zhang Hanlin didn't rush to refuse this time, and after pondering for a while, he said: "It's okay, the name is decided like this, I'll go to Bu's house and ask Bu Tie to engrave a plaque." ”
Just as Zhang Hanlin was about to leave, Lele and the girls stopped Zhang Hanlin and knelt down in front of Zhang Hanlin without warning, startling Zhang Hanlin, Bai Lingxuan, and the girl Li'er.
"What are you doing here? Hurry up. Zhang Hanlin exclaimed, and hurriedly stepped forward and dragged a few people up with Bai Lingxuan.
Lele's eyes were moist, and she looked at Zhang Hanlin and said gratefully: "Brother Hanlin, thank you for exterminating the horse bandit gang and avenging our parents, thank you." ”
Zhang Hanlin comforted: "It's okay, Daorenyuan will be your home in the future, and since you call me Brother Hanlin, don't be so polite in the future, I will be angry next time I do this." ”
After a few words, the girls burst into tears and laughed, and this incident made Li'er more and more impressed with Zhang Hanlin.
The name of the shelter was decided in this way, Zhang Hanlin and Bai Lingxuan went to Bu's house after leaving the Dao Ren Courtyard, and told Bu Tie about it, and asked Bu Tie to build a huge stone tablet, he was of some use.
In the afternoon, a piece of simple black deep-sea wood was hung on the door of the shelter, with the words 'Dorenin' written on it.
The huge attic in the temple is also named Doren Pavilion, and a plaque is also hung, but the size is relatively small.
Outside the gate of Daorenyuan stands a huge stone tablet with an inscription carved according to Zhang Hanlin's request.
The stele reads:
Doren-in, built in May of the 23rd year of the U-calendar, costed nearly 300,000 taels of silver, used to provide shelter and work for homeless wanderers, Doren-in Temple is open to all the people of the three cities of Dongshengcheng, Chiba Castle, and Lincheng.
Note: Daoren Temple was funded by the Zhang family and the city lord's mansion, and the Bu family was built (thanks to Bu Tiegongzi's strong support).
At this point, the Daoren Institute was officially opened, and under the secret instruction of Zhang Hanlin, the Bu family, the Zheng family, the Dou family and other families were vigorously promoted by the Daoren Academy.
In less than two days, the news about the Daoren Temple has spread throughout the entire Dongsheng City, and countless people come to visit every day, many people see the extremely luxurious Daoren Pavilion built, and are envious, eager to lie that they are homeless wanderers and live in this luxurious Daoren Pavilion.
Of course, some people did try this, but they were properly resolved by Doren-in.
Because Zhang Hanlin had long thought of this situation, every time someone wanted to enter the shelter, Lin Fan and his subordinates would conduct an investigation on the person who came to confirm that he was not lying, and then he would be allowed to enter the shelter, and arrange a room for the purpose of recording information.
Within three days of its official opening, more than 20 people entered the shelter, and all of them were screened through layers to determine that they were eligible to enter the dormitory.
And Zhang Hanlin also generously gave it to the Zheng family, and the Zheng family and the Qingxuan Gang and other forces divided two shops in the Daoren Courtyard, and the Bu family, as the builder of the Daoren Courtyard, Zhang Hanlin divided the Bu family into five shops.
And these families are free and permanent use rights.
Bu Chenghua, who knew the news, laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth, patted Bu Tie's shoulder heavily and said, "Son, making friends with Zhang Hanlin is the wisest thing you have done in more than 20 years. ”
Bu Tie glanced at his father, but he felt a little emotion in his heart.
At the beginning, he met Zhang Hanlin by chance, and also built this Daoren Institute for Zhang Hanlin at a low price, which not only won Zhang Hanlin's favor, but also created conditions for joining forces with the Zhang family later.
Through this incident, not only did the Bu family gain great benefits in the battle for the city lord, but also Zhang Hanlin was very grateful to the Bu family.
The five shops allocated to the Bu family this time are the best proof, Bu Chenghua saw very clearly, the Daoren Courtyard established by Zhang Hanlin has great development prospects, and it will become a small market in less than half a year, and this small market of Daoren Courtyard will be more prosperous than the five major markets in Dongshengcheng.
And their Bu family monopolizes five shops, and the profits can be imagined.
Although the other major families also got two shops, the five shops of the Bu family made them very jealous, and they only hated that their family was not a family of craftsmen, otherwise this opportunity would be their own family's.
This is all an aside, not to mention for the time being, the Bu family, the Zheng family and other families have already sent people to accept a few shops in Daorenyuan, and it seems that they are ready to open, and the deserted Daorenyuan is finally lively.
The popularity of Daorenyuan has not gone down, and another thing has made Dongsheng City boiling, that is, the city meeting will be held two days later, and the annual city meeting will be held two months in advance.
For most families, the city club is just a fun, and for a few families, it is a stage for competition, and the members of each family also work hard for the ranking of the family.
Moreover, Dongsheng City's beauty list, combat power list, and clan list are all selected through the city association, of course, these things are all done by Tianji Pavilion, after all, in addition to collecting news all day long, it is to sort out the news, and if you don't have some fun yourself, I'm afraid you'll be suffocated.
So compiling these lists is their greatest pleasure.
As soon as the news came out, the major families in Dongsheng City began to become active, and the members of the clan were gearing up one by one, all wanting to shine at the city meeting.
Zhang Hanlin's body has healed, and these days, in addition to eating and walking with Lingxuan, he is to lock himself in his room and work hard to cultivate.
And Zhang Hanlin also found that after Gu Jinglong's empowerment, the medicinal effect of gourd wine, and the healing of Gong Lingyue, his meridians have widened several times, and his cultivation has been twice as effective with half the effort.
Coupled with the effect of the Seven Star Jade, in less than five days, the dantian was full, and Zhang Hanlin predicted that in another five days, he would be able to reach the peak of the first realm of martial arts, and then break through the second realm of martial arts.
However, Zhang Hanlin needs to put aside the matter of cultivation for the time being, because the day of the city meeting has arrived, and today will be the most lively day in Dongsheng City.
The central square, at the moment, slowly gathered a crowd, and the ground that was destroyed in the previous battle has also been repaired and improved.
When the sun rises, the central square is boiling, and in the middle of the central square, a huge platform is built, and countless seats are placed within 100 meters of the platform.
Time passed slowly, and the major families slowly entered.
And everyone also found out that the Zheng family, the Bu family, the Wen family, the Qingxuan Gang and other powerful seats were lined up together, and there were still empty seats for the two forces among their major families, and everyone knew that it was reserved for the Zhang family and the city lord's mansion.
At three poles in the morning, the central square was crowded with people, and just when everyone was a little irritable waiting, the people from the Zhang family and the city lord's mansion finally arrived.
Zhang Tianhong, Bai Shen, Lu Lisi, Yu Suxin, Zhang Zhenzhong, Yin Qingyun, Zhang Hanlin, Bai Lingxuan, Yin Tianxing and others were seated.
The entry of the Zhang family and the City Lord's Mansion attracted everyone's attention, but most of the eyes were focused on Zhang Hanlin, the man of the year in Dongshengcheng.
Zhang Hanlin was dressed in white, with a slender figure, and a warm smile on his handsome face, which made countless girls' eyes sparkle with stars, but when they saw Bai Lingxuan walking side by side next to Zhang Hanlin, their eyes instantly dimmed.
Wenren Coco couldn't bear the loneliness, and quietly slipped over from the seat of the Wenren family, and sat quietly with Yin Tianxing.
Lele and the others also stopped the work of Daorenyuan today, and everyone in Daorenyuan rested and came to watch today's city meeting.
The major forces gathered, and as the city lord, Bai Shen was the first to take the stage to speak.
"Today is the day of the city meeting in Dongshengcheng, as for why it was held two months in advance, it is because my nephew Hanlin is about to travel far away in the rivers and lakes, in order to complete the city meeting before he leaves, so it has to be held two months in advance, I hope you will forgive me. Bai Shen said loudly.
Everyone knew it and said secretly: Sure enough.
However, with Bai Shen's hearty temperament, everyone obviously won't mind, and of course they don't dare to mind.
For a while, everyone laughed, Bai Shen's palm pressed, everyone quieted down, and said: "In addition to holding a city meeting today, I also have to announce a major event." ”
When everyone's hearts were raised, they saw Bai Shen say loudly: "A few days ago, Dongsheng City and Chiba City jointly sent troops to the borderless land to exterminate the horse bandit gang, I think everyone already knows, but what I want to say is not about this matter. ”
After a pause, he said: "But from today onwards, the borderless land is officially included in the territory of my East Shengcheng City and Chiba City, with Qinglin Mountain as the dividing line (Qinglin Mountain is a hill in the Borderland, about thirteen or fourteen meters high), the east of Qinglin Mountain belongs to Chiba City, and the west of Qinglin Mountain belongs to East Shengcheng. ”
Before everyone could be surprised, they were shocked by Bai Shen's next surprise.
"The territorial expansion of Dongsheng City is a day of great joy, but the proposer and planner of this matter is my nephew Zhang Hanlin, because he has no territory to be included in the territory of my Dongsheng City. ”
"What?"
"This matter turned out to be Zhang Gongzi's doing?"
"I originally thought that after the defeat of the Gu family, no one in Dongshengcheng would dare to provoke Zhang Gongzi, and Zhang Gongzi would be able to rest for a while and stop doing things. It's a pity that I was wrong, Zhang Gongzi no longer did things in Dongshengcheng, and went to do things outside the city. ”
For a while, everyone exclaimed in surprise, and looked at Zhang Hanlin in surprise, and Zhang Hanlin had a black line at this time, why didn't Uncle Bai have a door, and he said everything.
Except for the Zheng family, the Hang family and other families involved in the suppression of bandits knew about the situation, and everyone else knew nothing, so they were extremely surprised when they heard Bai Shen reveal the news for the first time.
