Lin Haoming knew the whole story, but none of the three stewards could tell the reason. Lin Haoming could only take three people to see the situation first.
The fourth-class disciples of Huangye Branch live in four different places, based on the mouth of Shuangshui River. On the left is the residence of Class A disciples, on the right is the residence of Class B disciples, and the residence of Class C disciples is three meters away from the two places. On a hill more than ten miles away, Ding and other disciples just built hundreds of houses on a flat ground.
Class A disciples live in the most luxurious residences, each with almost a small courtyard, and are also served by one or two maids and servants.
Disciples of the second class also live in a courtyard, but the courtyard is not occupied by one person, but a courtyard with three rooms, and each person has a room. There are often two or three people living in a courtyard, and generally there are no maids to call them.
Class C disciples live in a pavilion with several rooms on the first floor. The houses are all relatively independent. Although the place is not big, they also have their own rooms.
As for Ding and other disciples, they all lived in Datongpu. The so-called Datongpu was a house with a bunk bed, and six to eight people lived in each house.
The difference in residential environment is only one of them. What is more important is the existence of the Xuan Gathering Array. The three Xuan Gathering Arrays are different in the three places. The A-level disciples' residence has the largest Xuan-gathering Array, followed by the B-level disciples. Class C disciples tried again, but Lin Haoming found that the effect of the magic circle was not much different, but class A disciples occupied the largest area, so the range of the magic circle was larger and caused more consumption. However, with similar effects, class A disciples If you have the smallest number of disciples, you will naturally have the greatest advantage.
After understanding the general situation, Lin Haoming quickly checked the magic circle again.
The core of the array is arranged at the center of the three residences. As long as this part is arranged, it will not need to be touched for hundreds of years. The so-called repair is actually the replacement of the surrounding array devices that have been used for a long time.
Lin Haoming discovered early on that there were array devices here, some of which were directly similar to array disks. For example, the array he researched last time was actually an array disk, but the array disk was just a type of array device. The array device here , are iron pillars one after another, which can be regarded as a type of formation pillars. The iron pillars here are made from refined iron, and there are many magic formations engraved on them. However, Lin Haoming clearly discovered that these iron pillars The lines on the surface of the pillars have faded, obviously due to aging due to constant use. Taking the formation pillars here of Class A disciples as an example, according to Lin Haoming's speculation, it should actually be able to be used for another twenty or thirty years, but only twenty or thirty years. After years, the effect will be extremely poor, so it is not a problem to replace it in advance.
"Executive officer, according to your calculations, how much will it cost to repair the buildings of these three disciple residences, and how much will it cost to replace the formation pillars?" Lin Haoming asked.
"In the three places, the total of ten thousand Xuanjing is enough. Five thousand for A-class disciples, three thousand for B-class disciples, and two thousand for C-class disciples are more than enough. After all, the repair of the building is not a big deal. Some of the damage can be done privately by these disciples. It's caused by skills." Gao Chao replied immediately.
Lin Haoming also nodded. This result was almost what he expected. He continued to ask: "Are these formation pillars big?"
"It's true. It costs one hundred Xuanjing to replace one of these formation pillars. The old formation pillars are sold back at a discount, and ten of them are worth a new one. There are 720 formation pillars in the residence of the first-class disciples alone. This A sum of money is the real headache." Gan Zhiqiang replied.
"Class B disciples have 490 roots, and class C disciples have 360 roots, right?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Yes, so if all three places are repaired, just replacing the formation pillars will cost more than 120,000 Xuanjing, so we can only choose two places!" Gan Zhiqiang said.
"Manager Li, you have been in the workshop the longest, and you have been promoted all the way up. How did you solve this problem before?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Usually when A-class disciples are repairing, they wear B-class or C-class disciples' residences. They usually come in turn, and usually there will be some surplus during repairs. These surplus Xuan Crystals will be used later. In addition to maintenance, for example, as the senior management said before, some disciples' private teaching skills have been damaged and need maintenance. After all, although the disciples will compensate for the damage, some disciples may not really compensate, and there is indeed loss in daily life," Li Hui said.
"So our workshop should still have the previous balance?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Sir, the balance is indeed there, but it is less than three thousand Xuanjing. This is mainly because our college's results in the last selection competition were too poor, so the allocation from Xuanxing Palace is less, and we don't have much. Go repair it," Gao Chao said.
"Who did you buy the formation pillars from during the previous renovation?" Lin Haoming asked.
"This..." Upon hearing this, the three people looked at each other.
"It's Tiangong Pavilion!" Gao Chao said.
"Is there no other place where it can be cheaper?" Lin Haoming asked.
"It's cheaper, but...but..." Gao Chao hesitated again.
"But what?" Lin Haoming asked.
"The things in Tiangong Pavilion are indeed of the best quality, and they were designated by Elder Shen." Gao Chao said.
When Lin Haoming heard this, he immediately understood that Elder Shen must be taking kickbacks. Thinking of this, he felt helpless.
"What's the cheapest place?" Lin Haoming asked.
"One Eighty Profound Crystal, the quality is still good, it should be able to meet the demand, but..."
"But what?" Lin Haoming looked at Gao Chao and asked.
"But I'm afraid Elder Shen won't agree to this!" Gao Gao reminded kindly.
Li Hui and Gan Zhiqiang also nodded. Obviously, this matter was not something they could decide at all.
Lin Haoming finally understood that Elder Wen had also plotted against Shen Shen. If he wanted to please the three instructors, he would have to offend Shen Shen. If he didn't want to offend Shen Shen, he would have to offend the three instructors. And one Eighty Profound Crystal , even if it is depreciated, it is barely enough, and you have to save money. In that case, no one will have any profit, which will offend a large number of people, and Lin Haoming can be sure that once he chooses one of the two, which one will not Those who are chosen will definitely be dissatisfied with themselves, and at the same time, the underground disciples will also be dissatisfied with themselves.
Lin Haoming suddenly felt that Elder Wen was really shameless, and there were only two solutions he could solve now. The first was to get the support of Mrs. Xiao and ask her to allocate an additional 30,000 Xuanjing, and the second was to simply He was reckless and did not hesitate to offend one of the parties. The first one seemed to make everyone happy, but it would cause a bad impression of himself in front of Mrs. Xiao. Lin Haoming suddenly felt that Elder Wen had really posed a problem for him.
