"Shaoning, how much longer do we need to finish the rest of the construction?"
Arriving at the ninth floor of Yanhuang College's Guanghua Building, he found Yan Shaoning scribbling on a piece of paper. However, he didn't see Mo Lingwei. Li Zexuan didn't have the time to care about this and went straight to the point.
"Oh, Little Xuan, you're here!"
Yan Shaoning stopped what he was doing and stood up. He thought for a while and said, "According to the original plan of the college, we still have about three buildings left. A total of more than a hundred houses that haven't been completed yet. If the construction team goes all out, it'll take about half a month to finish! What's wrong? Little Xuan? Why are you suddenly asking about this? Did something happen? "
Li Zexuan sat on the chair beside him and sighed. He replied, "Something did happen! Shaoning, I'm planning to send some of the craftsmen to help me build the road! "
Yan Shaoning didn't know much about the Yan Huang Chamber of Commerce. He asked curiously, "Build the road? Little Xuan, what kind of road are you repairing now? "
"The road from Plum Village to Chang 'an! Now, the workshop and the Academy are both in Plum Village. Have you forgotten how crowded the roads were when the Academy started school and how difficult it was for carriages and horses to pass? Moreover, with the current road, it'll take at least two hours to get from the workshop to Chang 'an. It's as slow as a turtle! If this road isn't built, Yanhuang College and Plum Village won't be able to develop much in the future! "
Li Zexuan explained seriously.
Yan Shaoning was speechless. He felt that Li Zexuan was making a mountain out of a molehill. However, since Li Zexuan looked so confident, he must have come prepared. Yan Shaoning could only agree. "Okay, okay, okay. Then tell me how you're going to build it! How many people do you need? "
Li Zexuan was prepared for this question. He replied, "I'm planning to build a cement road. The width of the road should be more than six feet! I need at least one-third of the craftsmen! "
"Damn, are you crazy?"
After Yan Shaoning heard this, he shouted, "If you want to build a road, then build a road. Why do you have to build a cement road? Is the cement produced by the workshop enough for you to build such a long road? Also, if you ask for so many craftsmen, the progress of the Academy's construction will definitely be greatly affected. Have you considered this? "
Li Zexuan answered his questions one by one, "The cement output of the workshop has gradually caught up. Also, the students of Yanhuang College are now undergoing military training. It doesn't make any difference if the college is completed a few days earlier or later. In comparison, road repair is more important!"
Seeing Li Zexuan's attitude, Yan Shaoning knew that he had no choice but to fix this road. He spread his hands and said, "Alright! You have the final say! I'll fix it if you say so ~! When do we start construction? "
"Within three days. I'll have at least three hundred thousand strings of cash in three days. I can guarantee that we won't have to worry about anything in the future ~!"
Yan Shaoning thought that Li Zexuan was going to pay three hundred thousand strings of cash. He was a little surprised. He didn't know how much money his good brother had, but it wasn't appropriate for him to ask this kind of question. He could only reply, "Alright ~! I'll arrange a group of craftsmen in advance! "
… … …
Happy days were always so short, at least for the students of Yanhuang College. The two-day weekend passed in the blink of an eye, and they ushered in a new week of military training. Even if they were very unwilling, they could only obediently comply with the old-fashioned Chief Instructor Qin Qiong and the strict system of the Academy. At the same time, they hoped that the next holiday would come soon!
"Yamachō, there's a person called Wang Renbiao outside who wants to see you ~!"
The next morning, Li Zexuan was strolling on the Academy's field and checking on the students' morning run. He saw Mo Zhong trotting over from afar and cupping his fist.
"Wang Renbiao?"
Li Zexuan's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said, "Take me there ~!"
Mo Zhong saw that Li Zexuan was so concerned about Wang Renbiao that he actually wanted to personally greet him. He knew that it might be important, so he quickly responded and led Li Zexuan to the Academy's gate.
"Cousin Ren, long time no see. How are you doing ~?"
Li Zexuan smiled and greeted the indifferent Wang Renbiao and the frosty Leng Yuyao outside the Academy's gate.
"I'm fine, I'm fine. Xiao Xuan, I'm here today to tell you something. I've found the traces of the imperial court's fleet."
Wang Renbiao cupped his fist and said. Leng Yuyao on the side pouted and snorted. She was obviously angry that her Young Master came all the way here to deliver the news but was rejected at the door.
Li Zexuan was startled at first, but then he smiled and said to Mo Zhong, "Young Master Wang is an honored guest. You don't need to report when you come to the Academy in the future. You can come in directly, understand?"
"Understood, Yamachō ~!"
Mo Zhong carefully glanced at Wang Renbiao, trying to remember his appearance thoroughly. Leng Yuyao's face looked better.
"Renbiao, let's talk inside ~!"
Li Zexuan looked at Wang Renbiao and said.
"Okay ~!"
The three of them came to Li Zexuan's office. Leng Yuyao temporarily acted as a maid and poured a glass of water for each of them. Li Zexuan hurriedly asked, "Renbiao, you said that you've inquired about the imperial court's fleet. Quickly tell me, how are they now? Did they encounter any accidents ~?"
Wang Renbiao's face turned serious and he replied, "Accidents? They really did encounter a group of pirates in the Southeast Sea!"
Li Zexuan's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect that the fleet would really encounter an accident, so he hurriedly asked, "And then? Were there any casualties among the crew? Where are they now ~? "
Wang Renbiao replied, "I just received the news this morning. It's said that the fleet docked on an unknown island that night and was ambushed by a group of pirates. Dozens of crew members and defenders were killed. The Commandery Prince Hejian was furious. After chasing the pirates without success, he mobilized the army to go to Nihon and ask the King of Nihon for an explanation! Because according to the investigation, the pirates were from Nihon ~! "
"His Highness went to Nihon ~?"
Li Zexuan widened his eyes and said worriedly, "The Nihon are cunning and cunning. His Highness went deep with a large number of supplies alone. It's inevitable that some thieves would want to harm him! Renbiao, how is the situation over there now ~? "
Wang Renbiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, Xiaoxuan! The Commandery Prince Hejian took the elite troops to sea this time. Even if the Nihon people were audacious, they wouldn't be able to do anything ~! The ones who should be worried are not us, but the Nihon people ~! According to the latest news, the Commandery Prince Hejian has already stirred up half of the world over there ~! "
