Li Shimin

Chapter 218 Planning
"It's okay, this is just my king's rough idea. You don't have to be so surprised. When the Li Family Village develops in the future, you can build some public welfare houses!"

Naturally, Li Xuan knew that these two people were too kind to the farmers in Li Family Village.

However, he also has his plans.

"Nowadays, concrete houses must be built, and each house needs two floors, and the area must be enough for three houses. As for private schools, at least five houses are needed!"

"Tomorrow, you can also tell the officials of Prince Jin's Mansion that they can also build houses here, but they need to pay for the materials needed for the house, and the king will send craftsmen and labor to build them for them.

From now on, in the private school of Li Family Manor, all servants, personal guards, and heirs of officials of the Prince of Jin's mansion can go in and read and read..."

"Thank you king!"

Hearing this, Li Chang trembled all over, his face full of excitement, and thanked Li Xuan.

Chu Suiliang couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he never raised any objections.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will pass this matter on to the next official!"

Chu Suiliang and Li Chang said solemnly, and then quickly retreated.

Afterwards, all the servants and guards of Prince Jin's Mansion were full of excitement.

Letting the children of the family read and write is something they dare not even think about. They never thought that their king would build a private school for their children?
As for some officials from poor families, their faces were even more joyful, and they approached Chu Suiliang one after another.

Although they are officials of the Prince Jin's Mansion, they are all foreign officials, that is, officials who have not even reached the ninth rank, and their family background can only be better than some ordinary people.

Among them, more than half of the officials of the King of Jin did not have fixed houses in Chang'an City.

Not to mention, it is possible for the heirs of the family to go to private schools to learn to read.

In the end, according to Li Changyi's statistics, there were more than 300 servants, officials, and personal guards of the Jin Palace alone.

Li Xuan was startled when he heard that so many boys appeared in one go.

However, they are all boys from his own house, Li Xuan said directly.

"It's okay, then build a two-story house and build twenty rooms, and the extra room will be used for the master's office!"

"Twenty rooms?"

Both Li Chang and Chu Suiliang were taken aback, this is bigger than ordinary academies!
"Let's build twenty rooms first!"

Li Xuan nodded affirmatively, "However, there needs to be more land around the private school to continue to expand the house. In the future, the private school will not be enough, so it can be expanded!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Chang and Chu Suiliang nodded hesitantly.

The private school with [-] rooms, the king actually thinks it's not big enough!
However, neither of them dared to say anything.

I am afraid that the king will speak again and expand the room.

Afterwards, Chu Suiliang took the simple drawings drawn by Li Xuan and went to find the general supervisor, Gongsun Nian.

During these days, Gongsun Nian would come to Li's Village every day.

However, what made Gongsun Nian depressed was that he had personally entered the palace to face the saint about the magical properties of cement.

However, His Majesty seems to be less interested in the matter of cement than in the methods of making steel and connecting iron.

No matter how Gongsun Nian narrates, Li Shimin's intention is to wait until the house is built before coming to Lijiazhuang to watch.

Therefore, Gongsun Nian could only come here every day to ensure that he could take a good look at this magical cement artifact.

"I have seen Lord Gongsun!"

"Chu Changshi?"

Seeing Chu Suiliang, Gongsun Nian was startled.

"I don't know what Chu Changshi wants to do with me?"

"Your Majesty has something to tell you, Lord Gongsun, please take a look!"

Chu Suiliang slightly cupped his hands at Gongsun Nian, and immediately passed the blueprint in his hand to Gongsun.

"Master Gongsun, this is your plan for the surrounding land. Your Majesty plans to build a large number of two-storey houses as the new homes of the householders of the Li Family Manor, and also build twenty rooms in the middle as private schools; this area is for pig pens, duck pens, Chicken coops, rice fields... the construction of these houses, as well as the roads, all need to be built with cement, and I need to trouble Mr. Gongsun!"

"Since it is the matter of the king, it is the matter of being a prisoner. I also ask Chu Changshi to inform the king. When I take a rest the day after tomorrow, the king will bring fifty Ziren, two hundred craftsmen, and five hundred laborers again. Come here!"

Gongsun Nian said.

"The next official will replace the king first, thank you, Lord Gongsun!"

Hearing this, Chu Suiliang quickly bowed to Gongsun Nian, and then said: "If Lord Gongsun still has Ziren and craftsmen who can be deployed, or even forced labor, you can deploy more. Your Majesty wants to take advantage of it." Before the spring plowing, all the roads in the village were built into a one-foot-wide concrete road. In this way, after it rains, it can avoid being muddy and difficult to walk on!"

"In this way, I will double the number of people, craftsmen, and labor!"

After thinking for a moment, Gongsun Nian said again.

Although there are too many people, it will be a waste of labor, but Zi people, craftsmen, and laborers can relax more, and more Zi people and craftsmen can learn to use cement, which is definitely a good thing for the general supervisor.

"Thank you, Mr. Gongsun!" Chu Suiliang looked happy.

Now, what the Prince Jin Mansion lacks most is money.

Therefore, Chu Suiliang didn't care even if he knew that it would waste labor and cost a few more craftsmen's wages.

As long as the road can be built as soon as possible, then a little money can make up for it!
……

"Xuanba, good news!"

Early in the morning, when Li Yuan arrived at Lijiazhuang, he said to Li Xuan with a happy face.

"Old man, what kind of good thing is it that makes you lose your composure?"

Li Xuan asked with some doubts.

"The day after tomorrow, the old man should ask Pei Xuanzhen to go to Cui's house in Qinghe to accept Zheng. Does Xuanba have anything to send?"

As he spoke, a hint of ridicule flashed in Li Yuan's eyes.

Now, he has gradually accepted the daughter of the Qinghe Cui family and has become his own concubine Sanlang.

"So fast?"

Li Xuan's expression was startled, it has only been over a month, and it's already time for the betrothal gift.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were nine kinds of betrothal gifts, including Acacia, Jiahe, Ejiao, Jiuzipu, Zhuwei, Shuangshi, cotton wool, longevity thread, and dry lacquer.

However, the prince married the princess, and the other party was the daughter of a powerful family, so naturally it was impossible to only have such a few items, otherwise it would be too shabby.

"Old man, what should I prepare?"

Li Xuan's eyes flickered, and he asked hastily.

"What do you want to prepare?" Li Yuan asked.

"If it's winter, I can still send iron stoves, glass greenhouses, vegetables, cotton clothes, but now I can only send money!"

Frowning and thinking for a long time, Li Xuan said helplessly.

At this moment, he realized that after tossing and tossing for so long, it seemed that he only got hundreds of thousands of coins and some fields, but did not get any rare treasures or rare objects, and he couldn't help feeling a little ache in his head.

After listening, Li Yuan's expression was stiff and speechless.

On the side, Cheng Chusi and the others held back their smiles, but they didn't dare to laugh.

"Ok?"

Li Xuan gave these bastards a hard look.

"A group of scoundrels bully their masters and destroy their ancestors every day. Sooner or later, my master will drive you out of the sect!"

Forehead!
Cheng Chusi and the others' expressions changed slightly, and they froze immediately.

"Master, how can you use those rough objects for the dowry, it must be some rare treasures, or precious objects such as silk and brocade. As the king of Jin, you must have some rare objects in your house!" Li Chengqian reminded.

"Is there?"

Hearing this, Li Xuan directly raised his head and looked at the housekeeper Li Chang.
