Chapter 141 The Road That Shocked the World

There are also people riding bicycles with garbage baskets hanging in front and behind. Each of them wears a mask and gloves, holds pliers in their hands, and has brooms and dustpans hanging on the back of the bicycle. They ride quickly on both sides of the road, stopping from time to time to sweep up fallen leaves and pick up non-plant garbage with pliers and throw them into the garbage baskets.

The key is the transportation in Hangzhou. After the road was opened, buses actually started running back and forth!

Next to a section of road, a number of bus stops were quickly built. The bus would stop at each stop to allow people to get on and off. In this way, the people in the villages only needed to walk to the bus stop and wait for the bus. They could spend a few copper coins to enjoy the treatment of riding in a horse carriage and travel directly between Hangzhou and other towns.

As more and more cement roads were built, the whole city of Hangzhou experienced unprecedented traffic and trade. Small vendors could earn more by carrying vegetables and fruits from the countryside and transporting them directly to Hangzhou and other towns.

Horse-drawn carriages ran faster on the cement road, and the sales of bicycles in Hangzhou increased. Many people who had some savings were willing to spend money to buy a bicycle.

The manufacture of bicycles and buses also brought a lot of business to the blacksmiths, and they also had to pay a share of the profits to the West Lake Association and West Lake College.

The establishment of the outer courtyard was the key to making the entire Hangzhou city's roads be discovered and shocked by the world.

When the class led by Yan Zheng spread the word in major cities across the country that the 9th-level college, West Lake College, was going to open an external college and begin the first round of screening, those cities instantly became excited.

You know, ever since West Lake Academy held its anniversary celebration, every big family in the country knows that West Lake Academy has two amazing teachers and a dean whose real ability is unknown.

Now West Lake College is going to open an external college. Although it is an external college, they will be taught by people who have been instructed by gods, so the starting point is high!

Yan Zheng set his own age and limit for recruiting students. The human race only recruited children over 10 years old and under 18 years old with good behavior, and the demon race only recruited those who could speak, were intelligent, and had never harmed anyone.

There is no age limit for the demon race because the age of the demon race varies greatly due to racial differences and it is difficult to set a limit. However, this is only the first round of screening, and they still need to undergo a post-screening by the dean.

With this restriction, a lot of people were eliminated, but the number of people who signed up was still incredibly large.

According to the dean's requirements, each of them can recruit 50 to 100 students, but the recruited students will become their first batch of students. A total of 2,500 students from other colleges can be recruited.

Of course, they also have quotas for helping to recruit monsters, also 2,500, who will be led by students from the monster class.

However, because there were too many applicants, Yan Zheng had to strive for excellence and select those with the best qualifications and the best character.

After the screening, these students were registered and required to rush to Hangzhou to participate in the next round of screening before November of that year. Family members could accompany them to watch the screening, but after entering the inner courtyard, they could only study full-time and were not allowed to bring family members and servants.

However, when these candidate students from other schools rushed to Hangzhou from all over the country under the guidance of their families, they were shocked to find that Hangzhou had changed again!

The local roads are all dirt roads like this. Some are paved with bluestone slabs or other stone slabs, but once you leave the town, there are no other roads except these dirt roads and roads trampled by plants.

But when they set foot in Hangzhou, they found that the flat concrete roads were shockingly clean. There were many buses and bicycles running around, and the roads were very busy.

They were shocked.

Hangzhou is so prosperous.

The prosperity is not limited to Hangzhou, but extends beyond the city.

Including in Hangzhou and some towns, cement roads began to replace the original roads.

When it rains on a cobblestone road, you may step on "pits" when walking, that is, loose stone slabs, and the water will splash all over your legs, but this will not happen on a cement road.

However, when building cement roads in the city, the dean suggested that two cement ditches be built next to them to drain rainwater, and hollow iron plates be inlaid on them. On the one hand, the rainwater can flow directly into the ditches and then be drained into the rivers; on the other hand, people can walk on these iron plates without stepping on empty space.

Hangzhou is paying more and more attention to details, and the quality of life of its people is getting higher and higher.

Those refugees never thought that in addition to having enough food and clothing, they could also use their various strengths to earn more money; the common people never thought that they could spend so little money and enjoy the benefits that only wealthy families could enjoy before.

And those aristocratic families also have a higher quality of life, special mansions, new products first-hand developed by students of West Lake College, more convenient transportation and trade, more prosperous shops, more abundant income, and more expensive consumption.

Hangzhou has truly become a place of prosperity and peace that people all over the country yearn for the most.

It's not that those families and foreign county governors or armies didn't covet the wealth of Hangzhou City, nor did they want to plunder all the treasures and products, but they didn't dare to.

The four words "West Lake College" were like a huge mountain pressing down on their heads.

There are two shining gods, one is the God of War Erlang Zhenjun of Heaven, and the other is Taishang Laojun who controls the alchemy of Heaven, plus the unfathomable dean, and those students who are getting stronger and stronger.

As Hangzhou was developing rapidly, the families and forces in Hangzhou were also developing rapidly.

The fame of these cement roads also shocked the heavenly court and the Buddhist world.

The Emperor of Heaven was extremely interested in the strange and bizarre things that appeared in Hangzhou, and from time to time he would ask Laozi to bring some to heaven for him.

The Buddhist world is completely different from the heaven.

The Buddha's focus was on the dean, Long Pinxuan, because Long Pinxuan's increasingly rich merits finally forced the Buddhist community to take him seriously.

In fact, while Long Pinxuan was guiding different people and monsters in their cultivation, he was also increasing his own experience every moment. Under such circumstances, he also had a clearer understanding of the status of his own physical cultivation.

As long as the dragon ball in his body is completely transformed, he can completely rely on the rich merits in his body to achieve the status of an immortal or a Buddha.
