Li Zheng asked Du Hu to bring a contract and said: "It is written in the contract that if the court pays the money, when will I return the land to the court. To put it simply, it means pledge first and then redeem it later."

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui were a little hesitant, but Li Zheng's method of pledging the land could indeed solve the huge expenditures of the current government.

Paying Jingyang one million guan at once is not a small expenditure for the court.

Fang Xuanling looked at the contract, "300 mu of land north of Jingyang, with a pledge of [-] million yuan, the construction period is six years?"

Li Zheng nodded without denying it.

Du Ruhui said: "This deal looks okay."

Fang Xuanling said, "Wait until I go back to the court to discuss, and then I will reply to Chang'an Order."

"Large projects and large projects naturally need to be discussed with the court, so there is no need to worry."

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui stood up together and said, "We will take the contract away first."

After seeing off the two of them, Li Zheng sat down again and drank tea alone.

Dumb was still tidying up the stables diligently.

Most of the large area around Jingyang is vacant, and it is close to the Weihe River.

That piece of land is just right for increasing the usable area of ​​Jingyang.

The land used to expand the farm and academy can also be freed up.

The more it develops, the more land it needs.

Li Zheng returned home with these worries.

Xu Hui was counting the money, the money was for Wu Mei to buy various workshops in Guanzhong.

Although the progress is not fast, at least the first step has been taken.

Seeing Li Zheng came back, Li Li questioned, "How is the negotiation going?"

Li Zheng was drinking tea, "Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui said they wanted to take it back to the court and discuss it."

Li Lizhi nodded, still looking at such a large account book that Chaozhong might not agree so easily.

Such a huge project with such a long construction period.

Li Lizhi said: "If the government agrees, then all the border fortifications will be in our hands."

After speaking, Li Lizhi looked worried, "Such a large fortification requires a lot of manpower."

Li Zheng said, "Do you know how long it took us to build a house?"

Li Lizhi said, "A month? Half a month?"

Li Zheng shook his head and said: "Now it only takes ten days to build a house. Knowledge changes productivity. Don't underestimate the students of the academy in terms of improving efficiency and knowledge application."

Li Lizhi said in a low voice, "You mean to send students from the academy to build border fortifications?"

Li Zheng nodded and said: "Use the knowledge of the academy to improve work efficiency. Of course, such a huge project requires the academy to select manpower. Things that need to be settled include transportation, collection of building materials, and distribution of manpower. These must be arranged in advance."

The fortification picture of building border defenses gradually opened up in Li Lizhi's mind. If he used the physics knowledge of the academy, he could indeed get twice the result with half the effort.

The most special thing about the academy today is that the students taught are different from the outsiders in terms of cognition.

In the eyes of others, mountains may be mountains, and water may be water.

For the children in the academy, both wind and water can be used as means of transportation.

The movement of mountains can be a tool to reduce manpower.

As long as the children in the academy are given one day, they can design the most convenient and fastest transportation route.

This is the most special thing about these children taught by the academy.

They see mountains as mountains, and water as water.

These students can use everything in nature to become a tool at their disposal.

Changing students' understanding of everything in the world is the core aspect of the academy.

If you don't enter Jingyang Academy, you won't know its secrets.

Even if you know you want to master the secrets and don't study for three or four years, you are still in the fog.

For the current Li Lizhi, the million-dollar business is no problem.

Li Zheng took out a map from his study.

This map shows the boundaries of all the passes from Shanhaiguan to Yumenguan.

After the construction of successive dynasties, this boundary line has become very clear.

Li Lizhi counted the money that Jingyang can use now, and the funds that can be used for activities now are 500 million guan.

There is still a warehouse of silver mines sent from the Western Regions that has not yet been refined.

When these silver mines are refined, there will be at least 500 million silver coins.

Jingyang also has an annual income of 200 million Guan.

Li Lizhi herself was a little shocked to have mastered such a large amount of wealth unknowingly over the years.

I feel that the accounts in my hand are heavy.

The couple are busy with their own affairs.

From March to April in Yangchun.

The tea from Bingzhou also arrived.

Li was drinking the new tea brought this year, and in front of him were Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.

Both parties pledge on the contract.

Fang Xuanling said: "According to the Shanhaiguan rules, this time the construction of the fortification will still send a supervisor to the central government."

Li Zheng said, "No problem."

One contract per person, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui stood up and were about to say goodbye.

Du Ruhui stood up and said, "Chang'an Order, this year's imperial examination will start again."

Li Zheng said, "Good news."

Du Ruhui said: "Is Jingyang still not sending people to participate in the imperial examination?"

Li Zhengchang sighed and said: "It's not that the two of you don't know that what we learn in the academy is very different from the imperial examination questions in the imperial court."

Du Ruhui said: "Your Majesty still very much hopes that children from Jingyang can take the imperial examination."

Li Zheng nodded and said, "I will think about the proposal from King Wei of the Academy."

"Then let's say goodbye."

The two were sent away again, and the six-year fortification of 300 million yuan was officially signed.

As for why the children in the academy did not take the imperial examination, it has something to do with what the children in the academy learn.

Most of the children in the academy study mathematics, physics and chemistry.

Those Confucian classics, such as the Six Classics and Five Classics, are rarely read by students.

It is simply not in line with the imperial examination.

Looking at the tea leaves in front of him, Li Zheng divided them into portions, and sorted them according to the quantity after the package number.

Write the person's name on each small sign.

Li Zheng said to Du Hu: "Call Li Yifu."

"Here!"

Li Yifu hurried over half an hour later, "What orders does the Chang'an Order have?"

Li Zheng said to him: "I have written the names of these tea leaves, and you arrange for someone to deliver these tea leaves."

After speaking, Li Zheng took out another bag of relatively large tea leaves and said, "This bag is for you."

Li Yifu took the tea and said with a smile, "Thank you Chang'an Order."

After finishing all this work, Li Zheng picked up the broom and began to clean the stables.

Du Hu on the side said: "Chang'an Ling, I will do these things."

Li Zheng said: "Just think that I am exercising, and I need to exercise more recently."

In fact, Changanling was sweating profusely when he came to clean the stables every day, and he did a lot of work.

Why are you exercising again now?
Since Li Zheng said so, Duhu couldn't persuade him much.
