The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"What King Jingyang said... makes sense." Yan Lide bowed his hands in response.

I'm afraid this set of principles can only be implemented on the farm of King Jingyang for the time being.

As for the farms under other wealthy families, it's good enough that those people don't eat people. How can we expect them to think about the tenants on the farms?

Tenants and farmers work hard all year round and can't save anything. They can only barely have enough food and clothing.

"Since I was recognized by the emperor, I have participated in several court meetings and heard your majesty and court officials discuss political affairs in private, but what I heard most is that the national strength of the Tang Dynasty has not yet recovered. Many things must be done step by step. No matter what we do, we must take good care of the people." Li Fu said: "Restore national strength, restore population, more people, more people will grow food, more people will pay taxes, and national strength will be restored. This is the most obvious principle."

"Now I do these things on the farm, and I also want the people on the farm to They can live a good life. If they live a good life and have no worries about food and drink, they can have more children and add more children to the Tang Dynasty. "

"The lives of ordinary people are nothing more than four words, food, clothing, housing and transportation. Whether it is a house or a workshop, making money, they all serve these four words."

"What I just said to Yan Shaojiang is actually just the most basic plan of Zhuangzi." Li Fu smiled and said, "After these plans are realized, there are more things waiting for us to do."

Next, Li Fu also wants to build a school on Zhuangzi.

When there are more people in Zhuangzi in the future, more children will be born, and there will be more children. There must be a school to enlighten them.

Otherwise, everyone will be illiterate, and even if they grow up in the future, they will only farm and be craftsmen.

Even if you are a craftsman in the future, you must be able to read the drawings and recognize the words, right?

If you don’t know how to read, you can’t even be a good craftsman.

Now that there is an enlightenment school, if there are children who are gifted in reading, they must study further. Therefore, there will be a primary school in Zhuangzi in the future, and there will be a higher-level academy.

Regarding the academy system, this is a big project.

Li Fu also wants to divide the academy into different subjects, but these are things for the future, and it will take ten years or even longer to reach this point.

The most important thing is to build an academy and hire famous teachers. This academy must be explained to Li Shimin clearly.

In the future, some students who serve the court may come out of the academy, enter the official career, and become officials of the court. If this academy is not under the control of Li Shimin, in Li Fu's hands, Li Fu is just an old man eating arsenic and is tired of living.

It's okay to have money, and it's okay to win the hearts of the people in Zhuangzi. It's okay to win the hearts of the people. After all, it's your own Zhuangzi, but to build a very powerful academy and train students to enter the officialdom, what do you want to do?

To put it another way, Li Shimin was broad-minded and trusted himself, but the aristocratic families had something to say. Not only did they have something to say, they also dared to draw a knife at Li Fu.

Because if Li Fu built a college, accepted students to study, and entered the government in the future, it would be equivalent to declaring war on the aristocratic families and digging their lifeline.

At that time, the counterattack that Li Fu would face would not be a little bit.

But if the college was finally named after the emperor, it would be another matter.

Using the emperor as a shield, fame and fortune belonged to the emperor, and Li Fu was just a person who worked quietly, which was also good.

"This large piece of vacant land cannot be moved, it must be left." Li Fu said.

This is what Li Fu considered and reserved for future things.

This area is adjacent to the Pei family's manor.

Moreover, in Li Fu's imagination, one-third of the land here in the future will be located on the site of the Pei family's manor.

Seeing this, Li Fu narrowed his eyes.

Now think about it, it is not good for me if old man Pei Ji does not continue to commit suicide in the court.

Fortunately, Pei Ji is old, and Li Shimin will slowly find ways to replace these old ministers in the court. One day, Pei Ji will also be replaced by someone...

Don't worry.

Yan Lide nodded: "Then, the only places left to build a mansion are here, here, and here."

Yan Lide pointed to these three places on the map with his finger.

"If you change the place, it will be far away from the village planned by Your Highness. If it is too far, it is not good. There must be some popularity around, especially this place, which is close to your first phase of the house. Your guards and their families live here. In this way, it is more convenient. In the future, if the second phase of the project is slightly adjusted, this whole place will be like a moon surrounded by stars."

YanLide pondered.

If so, the original plan would have to be changed.

Fortunately, Li Fu's second phase of the project has not started yet, so it would not be a big deal to make changes now.

Yan Lide's words still make sense. The house occupies a large area, but you can't just find a piece of wasteland to build the house. If the house is built, it will stand there alone. Except for the people in the house, there is no popularity around. That won't work.

Humans are social animals, so they still need popularity, and the more popular the better.

Just like some holiday villas in the mountains, occasionally stay there for three or five days, it's good to be quiet, but most people don't live there for a long time.

It's inconvenient to travel, it's inconvenient to live, and there's no popularity around.

Although there are maids and servants in the house, there are many people, and there are many needs for life. Going out to purchase is also a problem. If it is close to the village, it will be convenient to purchase supplies in the future.

Especially in the future, a road will be built on the manor. If a road leads out, it will be convenient to go to Chang'an.

We still have to consider the future.

Yan Lide thought so too. He thought that in the future, the number of people in His Highness's house would probably increase. There would not be any idle people living in the house. However, if there were main houses planned by His Highness to reward the servants, it would be much more convenient.

"From this point of view, this is really a good place. The plan can be changed before the second phase of the project starts." Li Fu said.

"When it is built, the house should also keep a certain distance from these ordinary houses, and build a road in the middle." Yan Lide said: "Wait until tomorrow, I will go here to take a look."

Yan Lide will go to measure it in person.

Li Fu nodded and said with a bow: "Then I will trouble Master Yan."

"It should be. I am also looking forward to Your Highness's manor. If there are other places where Your Highness can use me in the future, I will definitely come." Yan Lide responded with a smile.
