The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Yan Lide nodded and agreed with Li Fu's statement.

As for the house, there is no rush. According to the plan of King Jingyang for the manor, it will require a lot of money.

It is reasonable to build a workshop to make money for the King Jingyang's Palace and use the money earned to support the expenses of the manor.

"There is another thing that has been started last year." Li Fu said, "Here."

"The school." Yan Lide said, "But there is a large area of ​​​​empty space around the school. Why can't the school be closer to the village? It will be more convenient for the children in the manor to go to school."

"Last year, the school was expanded to just one building." Li Fu smiled and said, "Do you think the school will stop here? Of course not, but now is not the time."

Yan Lide and Jiang Que heard Li Fu say this, and they guessed that the large open space around the school might still be very useful. This area here will definitely not be just a lonely building like the school.

"In the fall of this year, we will build a cafeteria dedicated to the school in this area around the school." Li Fu said.

"A cafeteria?" Jiang Que was puzzled.

"It is a place dedicated to providing meals for students." Yan Lide explained: "Now the workshops on the farm also have their own cafeterias, providing three meals a day."

"A cafeteria dedicated to providing meals? Does the school have to be like this?" Jiang Que was curious.

"Last year, the school on the farm was not large, and the students who came here to attend classes were only the children of the farmers in this farm. Later, after the expansion, there were also children from the nearby villages who wanted to send their children to study here." Li Fu said: "At noon, those who have a long way to go don't have to go back and forth. In the future, there may be more and more students coming to school, so we have to prepare in advance."

"I am preparing for a rainy day."

Li Fu explained with a smile.

As for his plan for the school area in Jingyang County, now even Yan Lide and Jiang Que don't know how big the specific scale is. Li Fu told them bit by bit.

If I really tell the truth, this thing can't be done.

I can only boil the frog in warm water, add little by little, and when it is initially established and the time is ripe, the school area will start a large-scale construction, and the movement will even be much bigger than Li Fu's current new house for himself.

By then, the more people stand on the side of the school, the better, and the more valuable their status and identity, the better.

At least, this resistance will not be borne by me alone.

This year is the canteen, next year is the dormitory, little by little.

"Now the children in the school are all in enlightenment. After all, they are children of upper farmers in Zhuangzi. Their foundation in reading is weak, so they have to learn little by little." Li Fu smiled and said, "There will not only be a canteen, but also dormitories will be built in the back to provide accommodation for students."

"The school will still be expanded in the future. After all, the children in enlightenment and other normal studies should be separated. If they are all put together, it will also delay the teacher's teaching. Sitting in the same school, the teacher is lecturing, and the students below can understand half of them and understand nothing. That's not right, so they must be separated. In other words, in the future, there will not be only one enlightenment school in the school."

"No wonder there are so many open spaces around." Yan Lide looked at the drawings seriously: "The school that Huairen wants to build is not ordinary."

Li Fu just smiled and did not respond.

Yan Lide will definitely not be able to escape this job at that time, and even wants to pull Yan Liben over.

But now is not the time.

"In addition, the weather has been pretty good since the New Year." Li Fu said, "I heard that the Imperial Astronomical Observatory calculated that there might not be much rain this spring."

Li Fu's words were quite euphemistic.

In fact, there is more than little rain. This spring will definitely be dry.

Droughts are extreme and locusts will appear.

"So, I want to take advantage of this period to renovate the water conservancy on the farm." When Li Fu said this, he looked at Jiang Que.

"Xingben, I'll leave this to you." Li Fu said, "Recruit as many people as you need and pay them all. I'll let Ma Zhou assist you with the money and grain accounts."

Jiang Que bowed his hand and responded.

"Don't worry, Your Highness."

Jiang Que's eyes were firm. Since such an important matter was handed over to him, and he needed people and money and grain, he had no reason not to work hard.

Water conservancy is very important to the farmers. On the way here, he also heard Yan Lide say that canals had been dug on the farm before, and there was a certain foundation.

It's necessary to study it carefully.

Now there is such a large planning map hanging here, which is clear at a glance and much more convenient.However, in the next few days, we still have to visit the manor in person.

After all, there is only this manor in front of us, and the land actually controlled by King Jingyang is not only this. With King Jingyang's mentality, he will definitely use this manor as the source to continuously benefit other places in the future.

Yan Lide's eyes have been looking at this planning map.

After listening to Li Fu's words, he also understood that, in fact, this planning map that was taken out was only a rough outline and incomplete.

This is just a simple regional map without too many details.

Or in other words, some details need to be added to it slowly later.

For example, the water conservancy project that Jiang Que is responsible for cannot be displayed on the planning map now. Jiang Que needs to go to the field to measure and visit, and then come back to make a plan.

As for the school, Yan Lide always feels that Li Fu wants to do more than this.

But he doesn't care about this, he is only responsible for building houses.

A school is a good thing. The bigger the better. Moreover, it has both a canteen and a dormitory. It is very convenient for students.

All this is paid for by His Royal Highness King Jingyang. Where else can a scholar find such a good thing?

"I have asked Ma Zhou to look at some of the account books of the manor last year. Once the construction starts this year, he will be able to take over part of the work smoothly." Li Fu said, "In addition, at the beginning, Lao Zhou will also help with some things in the manor. Let's work together and do a big job this year."

"Yes."

Yan Lide and Jiang Que responded, with excitement in their eyes.

If this little work is placed in the court, it is not a big job.

But on a manor, it is definitely a big project, and it is a big project planned completely according to King Jingyang's ideals. There is no twists and turns between officials in the court. It is just a plan for the development of the manor and the construction of the manor for the good life of the farmers. This is much purer.
