The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Xiao Tao moved a small stool and sat under the porch.

"Master Yan took people to inspect the construction site, and Master Jiang led people to inspect the river, saying that they wanted to see the effect."

"It can only be seen when it is still raining."

"Uncle Zhou took people to the farm and said that he was patrolling. This rain will last for quite a while. If another farmer's house collapses and someone is injured, it will be bad. Once someone's house wall is found to have a problem, it must be dealt with in time."

"Well, Lao Zhou is thoughtful. These days, the people in the farm have been busy. After two days of rain, most people can take a break." Li Fu said: "After the rain, let Lao Zhou rest at home for two days."

Li Fu was very happy that Lao Zhou was concerned about the safety of the farmers in the farm.

Lao Zhou is different from Lao Zhao. Lao Zhao has a deep friendship with the people in the village, while Lao Zhou is a latecomer who can take the farmers to heart. This also shows that Lao Zhou has really integrated into this place.

When it rains, the courtyard walls of some people in the village collapse. It is not surprising. Not to mention these days, even when Li Fu was a child, he lived in the village. When it rained heavily, some people's courtyard walls would collapse.

The courtyard walls are built with stones and filled with yellow mud in the middle. After the rain, the yellow mud in the gaps between the stones is washed away by water, and the courtyard walls are no longer solid.

There are even more unlucky people who were crushed to death by the collapsed courtyard walls. It is also a matter of strength. The wall did not collapse early or late, and it fell on people when people passed by.

In the evening, Li Fu finished his meal, and the servants of his family came to invite Li Fu.

"My dear, Master Yan and Master Jiang would like to invite you to the yard over there to talk about what happened today."

"Okay, I'll go over there right away." Li Fu responded.

Xiao Tao held up an oil-paper umbrella for Li Fu.

"Xiao Tao, go back and rest first." Li Fu said.

"Then my dear..."

"It's okay." Li Fu smiled and said, "It looks like the rain outside is getting lighter. I'll just walk back along the corridor."

Xiao Tao handed the oil-paper umbrella to Li Fu, bowed, and then left.

Li Fu held up the oil-paper umbrella himself and walked into the drizzling rain.

Xiao Tao picked up another umbrella, went to the kitchen, and asked someone to prepare hot water and send it to the bathroom.

"When you come back, tell you that the hot water is ready here." Xiao Tao urged.

"Yes."

Li Fu went to the yard where Yan Lide and the others were. At this moment, the yard was brightly lit, especially in the north room.

Everyone sat down around the table, and there was a clay stove on the table with hot water on it.

Li Fu walked under the eaves and put away his oil-paper umbrella.

"I heard from the people in the house that you all went out today. How is the situation?" Li Fu asked while putting away the umbrella.

Then he put the put away oil-paper umbrella against the wall under the eaves outside.

"Everything went well." Yan Lide said: "The construction site has made preparations in advance, and all the materials that were originally placed outside have been moved into the house."

"The river channel and canal are also normal. After the renovation, there is no need to worry about siltation within the village after the rain. I dare not say about other places, but within the village, even if we encounter the situation like last year, it is safe." Jiang Que frowned and said: "It's just that the river channel is not just about our efforts in the village. It is related to the upstream and downstream."

Li Fu nodded seriously.

Indeed.

"Upstream is the manor next door, originally owned by the Pei family, but now it has fallen into my hands, and we can manage it." Li Fu said: "In addition, I have another plan for the manor next door. The layout of the water conservancy should be studied in advance. Although the work this year has been completed, there are still things to do after the flood season."

"Your Highness wants to renovate the river water conservancy within the scope of the manor upstream, just like the manor here?" Jiang Que asked.

"There is this plan, but it can't be said to be a simple renovation. There are some other plans." Li Fu said: "For example, some small designs between the river and the newly built palace, clever ideas, using manpower to guide the river water into the palace garden."

"And the academy, if there is also a river in the academy, wouldn't it be more beautiful?" Li Fu spread his hands and looked at the Yan Lide brothers: "What do you two think?"

This question means that the drawings need to be controlled by the two of them. Li Fu will come up with ideas and they will perfect the details.

"Very good." Yan Lide smiled and then said, "Huairen, this matter can be discussed later. Let's listen to Lao Zhou first."

Li Fu looked at Lao Zhou.

"Xiao Tao said that you took people to inspect the manor today."What's the situation?" Li Fu asked.

Old Zhou bowed.

"My dear, it has been raining all day today and it hasn't stopped yet. The same as last year, the walls of the farmers' houses have collapsed. However, the collapse of the walls is not a big deal. The most important thing is that the roofs of two families have collapsed." Old Zhou said: "Now the people have been properly resettled, but the things in the house can't be saved. We dare not let people go back to the house to get things. This thing will press people inside, which is not worth the loss."

"Well, you did the right thing." Li Fu sighed: "It rains every year, every year."

"The farmers in this village have made a lot of money working on the construction site. Have they never thought about building a sturdy house for their families?" Jiang Que asked puzzled.

Since they have made money, why don't they improve their living environment?

"When the people build houses, they use local materials. What can they use? It's nothing but those materials. When they live, they just think about saving a little, saving a little more. If they have money in their hands, they won't be in a hurry. They save all the money. As for the house, they just make do with it. "Yan Lide said with emotion: "In the future, when the rainy season comes every year, such things will still happen." Li Fu thought, tapping the table lightly with his fingers. "Then let them pay to change the house." Li Fu said. "Huairen, you can't force it." Yan Lide persuaded quickly. "No, it's voluntary." Li Fu smiled and said, "Am I the kind of person who forces it?" "Old Zhou, wait for the rain to stop in two days, take people to the manor to post a notice, saying... Starting next year, the academy will recruit students for enlightenment. Farmers in the manor whose homes are not within the planning range of the school district will not be admitted. If you want your children to be able to enter the school in the manor and worship under famous teachers, just replace the house. "

When the people present heard this, they were stunned.

What does it mean? School district planning?

"My dear, how do you explain this?" Lao Zhou was puzzled.
