Contradictions between regions have existed since ancient times.

Especially when it comes to the quota of children, the debate is particularly intense. Maoming County, as a prefecture county, considers itself to have a higher status, while other counties also look down on Shicheng and Wuchuan counties.

Students from Shicheng County and Wuchuan County came to participate in the government examination, but they actually suffered a secret loss. After all, they are not directly governed counties, and they are separated by Huazhou, so they are separated by a layer of kinship.

If it weren't for the talented Jiang Yuebai who was born out of nowhere, I don't know how many years I would have to wait for the candidates in the two counties to leave the government for the first place to take the exam.

But I don't know if there are masters behind the back, every year Maoming students will take the initiative to provoke, verbally attacking students in Shicheng and Wuchuan counties, in order to achieve the effect of building momentum.

Even if the prefect wants to take care of everyone, then everyone has to give the prefect a reason!

Lin Haoran, as the head of Shicheng County, naturally has to receive key attention. Not to mention that he is covered in a rake, even if he is a perfect person, these people can help him find a stinky hat to buckle up.

This verbal attack is not counted, under the instigation of Maoming students, a Pan Xian poetry meeting will be held every year in conjunction with candidates from various counties to achieve the purpose of truly attacking the opponent.

As long as they shine at the poetry meeting, Nafuzun will give more places for Maoming students, and it will be difficult for candidates from other counties to accuse the county of favoring Maoming students.

Pan Xian Restaurant was founded by the descendants of Pan Maoming, and it is also the largest restaurant in Gaozhou City. Located in the area of Fuxue Palace, it is four floors high, covers a wide area, and has a magnificent decoration.

The whole restaurant is a square mouth structure, and the center is a large patio, which is composed of rockeries, pavilions, pools, strange trees, flowers, etc., which is pleasing to the eye.

On the third floor of the restaurant is the hall inside, there is a screen of a precious bird and a phoenix at the door, various calligraphy and paintings are hung on the walls on both sides, and exquisite porcelain and lacquerware are placed on the table.

Lin Haoran and his entourage came to participate in the Pan Xian Poetry Meeting as scheduled, and when they came here, they attracted the attention of a group of people, and some people pointed at Lin Haoran on the side.

Thanks to the hard work of Zheng Shijie and others for a while, Lin Haoran is now very famous among the candidates, including his poem, which was secretly laughed at by many people as the head of the Changting case.

It's just that no matter how these people laugh at Lin Haoran, when they see him coming like a spring breeze, their hearts are a little sour.

These powerful factions still have to worry about the government test, but this straw bag does not need to be nervous, how unfair Lao Tzu is.

There is an unspoken rule in the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty, that is, the first person in the county examination must show talents, so this is the reason why many talented people are not in a hurry to participate in the children's examination, and they all want to win the championship in one go.

As for why this unspoken rule appears, it is actually the human culture of officialdom.

As far as the government test is concerned, whether the candidate passes or not is determined by the government. Now the county lord of Shicheng County has personally appointed Lin Haoran as the head of the case, if the halberd is dismantled in the government test, it will be a big slap in the face to Xiao Lidao.

Daming's officialdom does not have too strong affiliation, not to mention that this will affect the follow-up management, if Xiao Lidao has the opportunity to sit big in the future, then will not the prefect be put to death?

It is precisely because of this that there are so many places in this government test, and one must be reserved for the head of the county test.

Lin Haoran ignored the eyes of others, he came here to look at this restaurant. I found that the investment here is afraid that it will cost 2,000 taels, but I don't know how much the monthly income is, and whether there is any daily income.

However, he was suddenly worried about a problem, that is, the fire prevention work of the restaurant. Once there is a real fire, there is no fire risk in this era, and the most profitable restaurant in Gaozhou Mansion will be reduced to ashes.

I have to admit that China's preference for wooden houses has its drawbacks, which is not conducive to the accumulation of social wealth, and is inferior to Western countries that love brick and stone structures.

Gu Qingfeng leaned over and asked him what he was thinking, these days he is getting closer and closer to Lin Haoran.

Lin Haoran naturally didn't say what he thought in his heart, this kind of unlucky words to the restaurant might bring him trouble, so he said that he was estimating how much money he would have to invest to build this big restaurant.

Jiang Ronghua and Zhao Dongcheng immediately participated, and the number they said was not very different from what Lin Haoran guessed. However, an interesting piece of news was revealed, some of the pillars of this restaurant were actually intercepted from the palace, and some people in the Ministry of Industry sold wood here at a low price.

"Brother Lin, you said that if I really build a workshop, would it be better to build it in Guangzhou Mansion or in Shicheng?"

Gu Qingfeng is very efficient, and has been secretly researching the dye market in Gaozhou Mansion these days, and found that this matter is promising. The people sent to Canton have sent back the news that the situation is very optimistic, and the price of dyes there is extremely high.

"It depends on your transportation costs, especially the cost of dye breakage, where the cost is low, it is better to build it!" Lin Haoran is not very clear about the transportation cost problem in this era, but it does not prevent him from using economic logic to give him some advice.

Gu Qingfeng had already regarded Lin Haoran as an important staff officer, and after thinking for a moment, he asked again: "If you don't have much of both, then where do you think it will be suitable?" ”

"Naturally, this will be transported in Stone City!" Lin Haoran said with a smile.

"Why?" Gu Qingfeng asked.

"I said that there will be a large dyeing workshop in western Guangdong one day, do you believe it or not?" Lin Haoran showed a mouth full of white teeth, looked at him and said.

“…… Letter! Gu Qingfeng hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth.

"Guangzhou is suitable for you to make some quick money, but the competition will only become more and more fierce in the future, and you may not be able to gain a foothold there. It is better to stand in Gaozhou Mansion from the beginning, pocket the market of the four prefectures in western Guangdong, and manage your own territory. Lin Haoran patted him on the shoulder and said to him.

Gu Qingfeng nodded, knowing that this was a better path, and he didn't want to stay away from home.

But at this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps downstairs, and someone ran up to report the good news, and everyone was ecstatic, because it was Chen Jiasheng, a Xuezheng master from Gaozhou Mansion, who was invited over.

Chen Xuezheng is actually the principal of the school, and if everyone is lucky enough to pass the school exam, they will all become his protégés. If you can get Chen Xuezheng's favor, it will be of great benefit to the college examination, and it can even guide you to take the township examination.

In addition to Chen Xuezheng, there are also several well-known scholars and people in Fucheng, and the other is an old man in plain clothes. It is not difficult to see from Chen Xuezheng's attitude that this flower-haired old man has some backgrounds, and he has a lot of wind and bones in his gestures.

Zheng Shijie stepped forward with a few students from Maoming, and naturally calmly led a few big people to the long table on the left, and at the end, he glanced at Lin Haoran proudly, as if he was showing off something.

Immature!

Lin Haoran pursed his lips, not knowing where his excitement came from.
