Chapter 501 Nine Yuan Returns to Hometown(2/2)
Wolong Street is the north-south central axis of the entire Suzhou city. This name should have been used for nearly a thousand years.
In history, it was not until Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River that in order to please Emperor Qianlong, he changed his name to the Dragon Hunting Street.
And what can I do? I changed the name of Wolong Street?
So Lin Tailai sighed: "After all, this is a central axis main road. How can one name be used in the northern half and another name in the southern half?
I think it is inappropriate to change the name like this. It is too inconvenient for the public to use two names in one street."
After thinking about it, the Wangfu Zun said, "So what you mean is to give up the name Wolong Street, and the entire street is renamed Jiuyuan Street from north to south?"
Lin Tailai: ""
Could it be that Emperor Qianlong had never thought of changing Wolong Street to Hulong Street, and changing the name to local officials to make their own decisions to flatter?
Those who are in high positions cannot express their opinions casually!
"Forget it, it's better to have a 9 yuan north woven in the south." Lin Tailai could only succumb to the status quo in the end, "I have been using a thousand years of name, but I can't disappear from my Lin Tailai."
From Yinma Bridge to the south, it is close to Canglangting Forest Mansion.
Lin Tailai, who was sitting in the cabin, immediately saw from afar. On the southern half of the original Wolong Street, there were two large pieces of black things, which were extremely domineeringly lying on the street.
I felt like a tour guide today and had to give another explanation: "These are two stone archways, one in literature and one in martial arts, to show your great cause."
When it gets closer, Lin Tailai also sees it clearly that each archway has thick eight-legged stone pillars, with a width of nearly twenty meters across, a vertical surface of six or seven meters, and an overall height of more than ten meters high.
It is said to be a stone archway, but it looks more like two large stone buildings. From the perspective of people of this era, it is definitely a masterpiece.
"It's really a waste of money. How much money does it cost? Who made it?" Master Lin felt inexplicably distressed.
Originally, I was not short of money, but since I decided to start the project to clear the downstream of Wusong River this year, I found that I was short of money again.
Otherwise, he would not have had the idea of Yangzhou salt merchants and asked Mr. Wang to come out to raise money.
Wang Fuzun replied: "The styles of these two stone arches are designed by your outer butler Gao Changjiang, and the locations are personally inspected by Zhou Futai, and then constructed by your elder brother."
"Wait!" Lin Tailai said in confusion: "Zhou Futai personally surveyed the site? Is he so idle, even doing such things?"
The Wangfuzun smiled and said, "Our Zhou Futai comes from our Shandong, and I know his background very well.
You may not know that Zhou Futai is the top geography master today. His works include ten volumes of "Yangzhai Collection", and the governor is just a side job.
So when your Lin family wants to repair these two archways, Zhou Futai personally checked the Feng Shui site."
Lin Tailai: ""
I really didn't realize it just now that Governor Zhou is quite talented and actually a Feng Shui master and a technical talent.
After being stunned, Lin Tailai joked: "It would have been a few years before Master Zhou came. When the construction of Canglang Pavilion Lin Mansion, he could ask him to give me some advice."
The Wangfuzun replied: "It's not too late now. Lingzun has asked Zhou Futai to take action and help rebuild the ancestral home of Linsong Village and the Lin clan ancestral hall."
While talking, he abandoned his boat and walked into the mansion through the main entrance.
To be honest, Lin Daguanren who returned to Suzhou wanted to go to Hengtang Town to inspect Hengtang College first, or go to Mudu Town to inspect the industrial park opposite.
In the minds of Daguan Lin, those places are the foundation of the career, and the city is more exaggerated and vanity.
But now that he has a main house and a legitimate son, no matter what he thinks, he must first go back to the Canglangting Forest Mansion in the city.
