The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

With such a large group of people gathered together to build tents, the living conditions would not be much better no matter how good they were. Moreover, the people who came here to work were all thinking about saving money, so they would make do with whatever they could.

For so many people, just eating, drinking, defecating and urinating was a big problem.

Yan Lide had people dig a big pit two hundred meters away from where they lived, specifically for them to use the toilet.

Originally, they were thinking about how to solve the problem of these people going to the toilet, and Li Fu gave them such a solution. They dug a big pit a little further away and gathered them all together. When the next year comes, they will directly spread the bedding into the ground to fertilize the ground.

Although the toilet is far away, people who live here on weekdays don’t wash their clothes, and the bedding is piled there in a mess. At night, they sweat and rub against the quilt. They are dry during the day, and sweat again at night. After a while, the smell is unbearable and it hurts the eyes.

The living area was in a mess. Seeing this, Li Fu ordered the doctor from the manor to come over and watch them clean up. He also prepared some herbs to repel mosquitoes and made them into incense. At night, he asked them to fumigate the place where they lived.

If people don't pay attention to hygiene in places where they live together, it will cause disasters sooner or later. This has nothing to do with the climate.

If hygiene is not good, people will easily get sick, especially in summer, when mosquitoes bite. If there are some unfinished food residues in their place, it will attract snakes, insects, rats and ants, which will be even more lively.

"Don't worry, my dear, it's not just the doctor from our manor who is watching over there. The people in our house are there with the doctor. If it's others, they may be perfunctory, but they dare not fool the people who have passed by our house." Xiao Tao comforted Li Fu.

"Alas, I still have no experience. Many things should be prepared in advance." Li Fu sighed.

"The key is that you didn't know it would be like this at the beginning, and this is also your first time to do these things. By the next time, you will have experience." Xiao Tao continued with a smile.

"Next time?" Li Fu responded.

Next time.

Yes, next time.

There is not only this much work on the farm, there will still be some things to do in the future.

If we can take advantage of this opportunity to train a group of relevant talents, then next time we do such things, we will have a backbone to resist.

We still have to train people.

Sure enough, if you can't lead a team, you will only be exhausted.

"Xiao Tao, grind the ink." Li Fu ordered.

"Yes." Xiao Tao put down the fan in her hand, opened the inkstone, and began to grind ink for Li Fu.

Li Fu prepared the paper and thought about how to write this letter.

Li Fu was going to write a letter and send it to the Jingyang Palace in Chang'an City, asking Lao Zhao to hand over the position of housekeeper there to his apprentice, while Lao Zhao was going to look for a group of literate servants in Chang'an City and then lead them to the manor.

In the future, Lao Zhao would also stay at the manor.

Now that people are needed here, Lao Zhao can't be left idle in Chang'an City. All matters in the Jingyang Palace have already been followed by rules. If someone is left there to manage, the master will not live there, so there will be no big things for them to deal with. If there is really a big thing, it will only take half a day to send the letter to the manor.

Li Fu picked up the pen and wrote a letter in a grand manner. He explained everything that should be explained, and immediately asked the people in the manor to ride horses to send it to the Jingyang Palace in Chang'an City.

In the Jingyang Palace, Lao Zhao arranged things, and the doorman said that a letter was sent from Huizhou.

"Where's the letter?" asked Old Zhao.

"The messenger is already waiting in the front hall." said the doorman.

Old Zhao hurried to the front hall.

Zhao Fu had been in Huizhou for more than a year.

It was not until today that he sent someone to deliver the letter. Maybe something happened there.

Old Zhao was anxious and hurried to the front hall.

"Where is the letter?" asked Old Zhao, "Did something big happen in Huizhou?"

The messenger shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Manager Zhao. Everything is fine in Huizhou. Manager Zhao's work is also going very smoothly. This letter is also a routine report to the master about what happened there and the next step. I need to ask the master for instructions."

"The master is now at the manor." Old Zhao said, "This letter should be delivered to the manor as soon as possible."

As Old Zhao was talking, someone came outside again.

The messenger from the manor arrived.

"Butler Zhao, this is a letter from my husband." The man outside took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Lao Zhao.

Lao Zhao quickly took the letter and quickly read it.

"So that's it, I still need two days to settle down here, and I also need to complete the things that Langjun asked me to do before I can set off to the manor. "Old Zhao said: "It's just right, you go back to the manor today and take this messenger to see Langjun."

"Yes. "The messenger on the farm bowed in response.

Old Zhao returned the letter to the messenger from Huizhou and asked him to follow the people on the farm and set off for Jingyang County.

Old Zhao himself hurried to see his apprentice. Two days later, he needed him to take over the affairs of the entire Jingyang Palace. Although he usually brought her with him to teach, she now needed to take the lead. He still had to remind her again before he could feel at ease.

This was not a big deal. The important thing was that the letter mentioned that he needed to go to the children's shop to buy people, and he needed to be literate and strong.

Being strong was not a big deal, because the people in the children's shop were all selected to be able to work.

But it was not easy to find someone who could read and write.

In ordinary people's homes, they could not recognize many big words, but anyone who could read and write and had a good health could find a job outside to make a living. A meal, not to fall into the hands of the boy.

Two days, look for as many as you can find, if you really can't find it, there is no other way, you can only set off to the manor, as for the boy, first tell him to keep some if there is a suitable one, then he will go back to Chang'an City, pay the money and take the person.

On the manor, in the evening, Li Fu finished his dinner, and the messenger from Chang'an City came back in a hurry, also bringing news from Huizhou.

Li Fu took the letter and returned to the study, opened the letter and read it carefully.

On the Huizhou tea house, Zhao Fu went there for a year, expanding the tea mountain and the tea house at the same time. At present, there are more than 5,000 people engaged in tea-related work there.

Among these 5,000 people, tea pickers, tea makers, local caravans, and a tea shop in Huizhou City, and there are tea houses in the surrounding areas of Huizhou and the big cities.
