The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

The people in Zhuangzi have been living a comfortable life these days.

Since I knew that locusts can be eaten, I tried it.

As a result, I found that, don’t tell me, don’t tell me, this thing is really delicious.

Don’t put lard, you have to roast it.

If you put lard, like stir-frying, the family will have to find a blacksmith to buy a big iron pot.

At present, the family does not have the ability to buy such a big iron pot, so they can only try to use other cooking methods to make the locusts taste better.

This thing, no matter how small it is, is still a piece of meat.

From the beginning of locust control in Zhuangzi to now, the method of locust control has been guided to other places, and the fact that locusts can be eaten has also been spread.

Things are done quite well, and the only person who has a headache is Changsun Wuji.

He knew about the rumor earlier than anyone else. After the Hundred Cavalry Division entered the palace to report to His Majesty, Changsun Wuji sent someone to see Li Shimin.

The two of them were just one step ahead of each other.

After all, the rumor came from the place where he was temporarily in charge. If he didn't make it clear, Changsun Wuji was afraid that the shit pot would be put on his head and he couldn't get it off.

Even if the shit pot was not his, he was already involved, how could he not smell it?

Later, Li Shimin personally wrote a letter to Changsun Wuji to appease him, asking him to continue to preside over the locust extermination and subsequent work. As for the rumor, there is a reason for it, and the court is already investigating it.

That means, knowing that the rumor has nothing to do with you, keep it in your heart.

He is not a fool.

This rumor is aimed at the emperor. As the emperor's brother-in-law, the ironclad and right-hand man of the Qin Palace, can he do such a stupid thing?

The matter of locust extermination has been almost dealt with. On the farm, Li Chengqian will also return to the palace soon.

This trip out, I also saw a lot on the farm.

When getting on the carriage, the maid next to Li Chengqian held a box for him, which was filled with Li Chengqian's manuscripts.

"After you go back, think carefully about the days in the farm and write down some of your thoughts." Li Fu smiled and looked at Li Chengqian: "This is the homework assigned to you by Uncle Wang, the Prince's tutor. When I go to Chang'an City and enter the palace in the future, I will check it."

"Yes, Uncle Wang." Li Chengqian bowed his hands and responded: "Then, nephew will go back first, Uncle Wang, take care."

"Take care." Li Fu also bowed his hands.

Li Fu stood where he was, watching the team escorting Li Chengqian gradually go away. After a long time, he turned back to the house.

"The locust plague quietly passed, leaving behind a little secret~~ There are idiots, there are idiots, there are conspiracies hidden in their hearts~~" Li Fu hummed a little tune and went to the courtyard of the study.

The locust plague is over, and the manor is about to usher in a busier time.

Yan Lide, Jiang Que and Ma Zhou are like live donkeys, working hard to continuously add bricks and tiles to the manor.

Li Fu gathered everyone together again.

"Now the locust plague has come to an end. The court has distributed some food to the people, but these grains, when distributed to the people, are far from enough to feed the whole family. The harvest in the fields this year is not good, which is a foregone conclusion." Li Fu stood in front of the huge map hanging on the wall and said to everyone: "Next, it is the highlight of our manor!"

"First of all, the school, Old Yan, the final version of the blueprint has been finalized, and there are no other problems with the rest, right?" Li Fu asked.

Yan Lide shook his head: "No, I discussed this drawing with my brother before, and we customized the final version together. There is no problem, but some minor problems can be adjusted at any time during construction."

Li Fu nodded.

"Okay, then follow the agreed drawings, recruit people, and start construction. For the school, how many people do you need according to your maximum control ability?" Li Fu asked again.

"Huairen, if you start construction at the same time, we need more people. I can't handle it alone." Yan Lide shook his head helplessly.

For the new house, because the work needs to be meticulous and the amount of work is not small, Yan Lide needs to keep an eye on it personally to ensure that it is refined. Although a workshop needs to be built later, the work in the workshop is simple. As long as you devote a little energy and watch it a little, it will be enough.

But the school project is not simple.

Although the level of refinement cannot be compared with Li Fu's new house, it is better in terms of the large amount of work.

Let's put it this way. To build the school according to the final expansion drawings, Li Fu would have to spend nearly 300,000 strings of cash, and that was just to build the school.

Li Fu thought about it and thought, yes, Yan Lide was in charge of three construction projects at the same time., it is indeed a bit difficult for him.

"Is there anyone who knows the business among the Craftsmen? Recommend someone, I will ask His Majesty for someone." Li Fu said.

If it doesn't work, go to the Ministry of Works to ask for someone.

Anyway, most of the time, officials don't have much to do.

At most, they can be given some "project bonuses".

I am not short of money.

"At least two people are needed for the school. As for the new house and the workshop area, I can take care of them alone." Yan Lide said: "As for the Craftsmen, I have someone to recommend..."

"Only one." Li Fu was a little disappointed: "By the way, your brother is in the court now. Is there anything important? If not, I will tell His Majesty and let him come to help first. After the work here is done, he will return to Chang'an City and do what he should do. Don't delay him."

"Now he is the chief doctor in the court, so he is not a busy man." Yan Lide said.

"That's it. This blueprint was decided by you two brothers. No one knows how to build this school better than you two brothers. Come here." Li Fu smiled and said, "I will write a letter to His Majesty in a while and ask for His Majesty's favor to let Doctor Yan come here as well."

"In this way, there will be someone to take charge of the school, including the young craftsman you recommended as the supervisor of the craftsmanship."

"Now that the candidates for the job are in charge, let's talk about recruiting workers." Li Fu said, "Anyway, you can find people for the overall planning. I will provide food, accommodation and salary for the people you find. Even if they are commoners, they can get as much salary as they can according to their abilities. People who work here are all regardless of their background."

"According to the scale of the school, one thousand people." Yan Lide said, "The school expansion can be completed within a year."

"Okay, then the school will recruit one thousand workers." Li Fu waved his hand and decided. He glanced at Lao Zhou and said, "Write it down, Zhang Huan, and you too."
