The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Although the first phase of the academy project has been completed this year, a lot of money has been invested in both people and materials. There will be second and third phases in the future, and the money will be spent like water.

But Li Fu never thought that he could earn back the money.

As the saying goes, when you are poor, you should take care of yourself, and when you are rich, you should help the world.

When you are poor, just live your own life.

Now that you are rich, you are still a prince of the Tang Dynasty, enjoying the honor and convenience brought to him by the Tang Dynasty, so you have to pay for this honor and convenience.

Li Fu is a member of the royal family. Compared with this, what is the point of spending money to build an academy and cultivate more talents for the Tang Dynasty in the future?

Not to mention, if a prince is really said to be rich enough to rival a country, it will not look good.

From ancient times to the present, anyone who said that a person is rich enough to rival a country has no good end.

You still have to find a place to spend the money.

In this way, everyone will feel balanced and relieved.

So as not to be always worried about it.

"You have to earn money, and you have to be willing to give it up. You can only get it if you give it up. No matter what I get, it is the result of giving it up first." Li Fu smiled and said, "No matter which side is completed later, let the craftsmen go home. Before they go home, they must sort out the accounts and pay the wages to people. If there is a mistake in the middle, don't blame me for turning my face against you."

"There are so many people in the Imperial Censorate in the court."

Although Li Fu still had a smile on his face, his words also carried a warning.

If there is any mistake in the middle, then check it layer by layer. The craftsmen's wages cannot be wrong. If anyone makes a mistake in this regard, has a problem with his thinking, loses his principles in action, and reaches into the pockets of the craftsmen.

Then Li Fu also wants to let everyone see that King Jingyang's knife is also very sharp.

"There are too many people on the construction site. You are in charge of many officials, including those in charge of things." Li Fu said, "The more we have to be nervous at this time, we must not let a bad apple spoil the whole pot of porridge. If something really happens, our names will appear in the mouth of the censor in the court, and it will be a thankless job."

"Your Highness is right."

"In the final stage, we must be more cautious than before."

Although it is the Jingyang Palace that pays, if someone really tampers with the payment of wages, owes the craftsmen wages, or exploits the craftsmen.

The censors of the Censorate will not let it go.

Hiring people to work, the money is not calculated correctly, what is this?

The dignified Jingyang King actually acted like this, which is simply shameless.

In this regard, Li Fu still has face, and he has a lot of face.

He will find trouble with anyone who embarrasses him.

"From the beginning of recruiting workers, this place on the manor has attracted a lot of people's attention. I don't know how many people are watching, envious, jealous, and wanting to find an opportunity to take a bite." Li Fu laughed and said, "Why is the manor so hated? To put it bluntly, it's all because of one word, money."

"I have been in the manor for a long time, and you all know that the several workshops on the manor are quite profitable. If it weren't for the workshops and tea, this year, even if I sold my house on the manor and the palace in Chang'an City, I wouldn't be able to make enough money to spend."

"Any business that makes money will have people jealous. Why don't they dare to openly reach out to the manor at present? There is pressure from the emperor and His Majesty. With such a deterrent, they dare not take action for the time being, but it's not clear in the future. They are all watching this side secretly, waiting for mistakes here." Li Fu sneered.

Everyone also understood and understood the meaning of Li Fu's words.

If you want to do something, do it perfectly so that others can't catch any handle. It's not so easy to get a share of the bowl of soup on the farm.

In the past two years, Yan Lide and Jiang Que have been tied to King Jingyang. Yan Lide also wants to live in the farm in his old age. This farm is related to his old age life, so shouldn't he be careful?

There are some things that Li Fu didn't say directly to everyone.

At the workshop, Ma Shisan's people secretly intercepted a lot of people. They all took advantage of the fact that there were many craftsmen on the farm and wanted to touch them when they were working.

All the people arranged by Ma Shisan were caught.

Li Fu hasn't killed anyone yet, he just wants to secretly explore the workshop so that Li Fu won't catch anyone himself.

Let Wu Liangye lead the people and send the captured people to Chang'an City, hand them over to Li Wu, and inform the palace.

As for whether they can survive in Li Wu's hands, it depends on their lives.

Even if they die, it is Li Wu who kills them, not him, Li Fu.The killing was ordered.

In this way, His Royal Highness King Jingyang's hands are still clean.

This is the advantage of status. There will always be someone to do the dirty and tiring work.

At the moment when those who wanted to spy on the secrets of the workshop were sent to Chang'an City, Li Fu deeply understood what Confucius said, that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen.

If you don't see it, it doesn't count as killing.

I am still kind and benevolent, saving the poor and the needy.

The next morning, the weather was not good, it was gloomy.

Sun Simiao said that it would rain in the next few days, and it seemed that he was right. This guy has real skills.

There was no sun in the morning, but it didn't rain either. It was a bit stuffy outside.

However, it was better than being uncomfortable in the sun.

Ma Zhou and Du Gou all followed Jiang Que to arrange the payment of wages to the craftsmen.

According to the booklet, the wages were paid to people, and the work was done in the morning.

The craftsmen who repaired the river can go home in the afternoon.

Li Fu took a carriage to find Yan Lide, and took Yan Lide to the trading area of ​​the workshop.

"If it rains, the road outside will be really difficult to walk on." Yan Lide said: "I don't know how long the rain will last. One or two days is fine. If it lasts for a long time, the matter of inviting the family to the farm will have to be put on hold for a few days."

If it rains for a long time, even the official road will not be easy to walk on, let alone some dirt roads from the farm to Chang'an City.

"Who said it wasn't, but this rain is also good. The river channel has been repaired. After the rain, there will be no danger in the farm. The river ditches store water, which is also good for the crops." Li Fu smiled.

Then, he remembered something else.

"Old Yan, what do you think about repairing the road on the farm?" Li Fu looked at Yan Lide and asked.

"Repair the road? How to repair the current road?" Yan Lide was puzzled.

It is great to have such a road in the village. In order to build the academy, new houses, and workshop trading areas, the original roads were widened and leveled in advance.
