Chapter 143 Commercial Street

On the large square outside the main entrance of the academy, a large circular pool with a diameter of at least 20 meters was circled. In the center of the pool was a large set of stone sculptures.

Considering some taboos in ancient times, Li Anran did not carve his appearance, nor did he carve any gods, Buddha statues, etc. Instead, he asked someone to draw a picture of various schools of thought, and at the same time selected more representative inventions in the fields of agriculture and industry in history. For example, compass, papermaking, printing, etc., asked someone to draw interesting pictures, and then let the superb stonemason directly carve it on a whole piece of white marble.

In addition to the patterns, the base of this large stone sculpture also uses modern time and space technology and materials to suck up the flowing springs in the pond from the mountains. Part of it forms a small waterfall that pours down from some very suitable patterns, and part of it turns into a fountain to bloom and sprinkle in the air.

More than one such fountain was built in Xiaoyao Villa, but it was not as big as the one at the entrance of the academy. Therefore, when I saw the crystal water splash reflecting the colorful light in the sun, not only Su Xiaomei and Xiang were stunned, but Zhao Er and Cheng Chusi, who did not understand the principle of sunlight refraction, were also stunned.

After walking through the fountain and the large square, what caught my eye was the magnificent gate of the academy. This design that imitated the gates of several well-known universities in modern time and space not only gave people a tall and large feeling. The stone pillars and beams carefully polished with relief techniques make people feel a bit solemn.

The courtyard wall of the academy is very high, and there is a circular river outside. In addition to the main entrance and the side door that undertakes delivery, cleaning and other work, it is not so easy to enter the academy.

After entering the academy, the green tone still catches your eyes. The evergreen trees make the entire academy have a very good environment, whether in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Unlike the cement road outside, the road in the academy is paved with cement and bluestone slabs. The width is not as wide as the outside, and it can only accommodate three or four carriages. Considering that there was no plan to let the carriages and horses drive in the academy, there were no sidewalks for later generations.

Along the way, I still met many craftsmen who were still working and hired people. Just when Li Anran came to the Enlightenment School District, the craftsmen who were specifically responsible for the construction of the academy, referred to as the foreman, did not dare to neglect after hearing the news. They rushed over.

"I've seen the young master." The first group of foremen who arrived quickly said to him.

"Okay. No need for so many politeness. I just don't want to affect your work, so I didn't say hello in advance. I just turned around and felt very good. Thank you for your hard work." Feeling the respect and gratitude of these people, Li Anran waved his hand and smiled.

Faced with this praise, the foreman were naturally very excited. However, on the surface, he still modestly expressed that his work was not good enough. If these people were not wearing ancient costumes and were in the time and space of the Tang Dynasty, Li Anran had the illusion of being in modern time and space.

Taking advantage of the presence of the boss, those foremen who knew a little about their master's habits after a brief training all briefly reported their recent work.

With sufficient funds, manpower and the attention of Chang'an City, the construction of the academy will naturally be smooth. Even if there is any trouble, it will be solved by the people below. Therefore, Li Anran naturally cannot hear any problems.

Under the guidance of the craftsmen, Li Anran and his group took a good walk in the Enlightenment School District. They went to see the classrooms, accommodation, canteens, indoor and outdoor sports venues, and even the public toilets built in these areas.

If it weren't for the fact that the people around me were all dressed in ancient costumes, and the architectural structures in these areas were all ancient styles, Li Anran really felt like visiting a new elementary school in modern time and space.

Considering that the first phase of the entire college will only target those children, the progress of the enlightenment school district is the fastest. In addition to some local details that need to be repaired, the entire project has basically been completed. According to the foreman in charge of this area, those small details will not affect normal use and can be delivered at any time.

Li Anran was quite satisfied with this. So with a wave of his hand, from the foreman responsible for the project here to the worker who worked hard, all of them received varying rewards, which made the foreman who had not yet been able to complete their respective projects so envious.

"Don't envy him. As long as you do your own things well, I will never be stingy with rewards." Speaking with a smile, Li Anran suddenly turned aside and said, "But if I find out that you didn't do your business well, then it will be more than just punishment, do you know?"

Not to mention, although Li Anran's face was a little tender, his face immediately showed a strong majesty after his face darkened. It immediately made the foreman feel silent, and they all said that this would never happen.

Li Anran would not be so stupid that he believed these guarantees so easily. Even from time to time, most of the ancients he met were still very simple. But this simplicity depends on who it is to and what matters.

After visiting the Enlightenment School District, Li Anran went to the school district that had not been completed, and even if it was completed, it was unlikely to be used for the time being. Not to mention that after this round, I really couldn't find any problems.

As a modern person, Li Anran, who has never seen pig runs and had eaten pork (?), is naturally very clear about the development project. It is difficult to see anything on the surface. Therefore, in front of everyone, the acceptance and inspection work was handed over to Xiangyun.

Those foremen knew that although this person had no specific status so far, he was still a celebrity in front of a guy. Naturally, no one dared to neglect him. They all expressed that they would accept Xiangyun's inspection and acceptance at any time.

As for Xiangyun's mood when he heard this appointment, he was both happy and a little resentful.

I am so happy that if I can get this task, I can already explain the trust and respect I have received.

The resentment is that if you have this task, you will definitely not be as time as before, with your young master as before. In addition, Su Xiaomei is here, you will inevitably feel uneasy. But if you give up this task just because of this, Xiangyun, who likes to do things, can't let it go.

"Okay, Yun'er." After seeing the other party's tangled intention, Li Anran smiled and comforted her with a smile: "If you want to get my favor from the young master, you can't just accompany me every day. If Mei'er wasn't suitable for doing such things by nature, I would let her take charge of this matter with you."

In fact, with Xiangyun's intelligence, it is not impossible to see what this sentence is meant to be expressed. It is true that with someone's current wealth, it is easy for someone to want a woman to do something easily. But when things come, they still think so. To put it bluntly, "only people are clear, but those in the authorities are confused."

After comforting Xiangyun, Li Anran, who had left the gate of the academy, took a carriage parked at the door, and rushed towards the commercial street about one mile away from the academy.

This commercial street, which covers a large area and is located on the west gate pipeline of Lantian County, draws on the design concept of the modern space-time commercial center and pedestrian street. In addition to the three-story buildings on both sides of the main road, there are also small roads extending to the commercial street behind these large roadside shops.

These commercial streets hidden behind both sides of the avenue are divided into snack streets, clothing streets, jewelry streets, grocery streets, accommodation streets, etc. Behind the commercial street, which is also the worst place in the city entrance, has built two-story houses adjacent to each other.
