This is what Ravenclaw looks like.

"The professor has wanted to build a new greenhouse for a long time - the original greenhouse environment..."

Andrew was being baptized by knowledge at this moment, but his poor first-year herbal knowledge was obviously not enough.

He probably only heard part of the content clearly - although the previous greenhouse had isolated many rooms, the difference between different rooms was not that high, especially some precious species, which had to be planted in similar greenhouses with those aggressive plants at a certain risk.

And the series of introductions and requirements about the functions of greenhouses, after removing those introductions, simply put, the number of small greenhouses should be doubled, and a large amount of magical materials should be used to change the environment of the greenhouse - humidity, temperature, soil pH, trace magical element content, etc.

Anyway, if technology is not enough, magic can make up for it. This is completely beyond Andrew's knowledge of herbalism, or in other words, there are only a few things that can be fully understood in this castle.

But he doesn't need to care about these.

"What is the approximate price, Professor Adams?"

...

An astronomical figure - he has to blackmail the Ministry of Magic twice more to get it done.

"No, professor, it's too high. Our budget is..." Andrew cut down to half of the budget given by Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall couldn't watch the greenhouse every day. In the summer, she had to travel and attend meetings with other magic schools, deal with the school board, and participate in several international Transfiguration conferences and high-end publicity meetings where she had to punch in.

There were not many documents that needed him to handle in the office. He was just called here to represent the school to control the construction funds - no matter which professor, there was no budget that could not be spent.

There are expensive ways to spend expensive money and cheap ways to spend cheap money. It was not that Andrew forced the money, but that he really approved the money. Several professors, who were not greedy, spent all the money. It was easy to spend even if it doubled - simulate the growth of potions in extreme environments, buy seeds of rare and precious plants for cultivation on campus, and try the effect of dragon blood on the growth of potions.

At worst, he planned to mix in with the Muggle experiment and try the space transformation problem of the potion. As long as there are enough Galleons, it is normal to make a flying alchemy device as an experimental equipment. Can you say this is not a high-end herbal experiment?

"That's all?"

"This is enough for the whole school for thirty years."

Andrew did not give in at all, "It is unlikely to double the building, and full permanent magic control is too expensive, but some rooms can use permanent magic."

He flipped through the original drawings on the first day back to school. Although he didn't understand what they were all for, he remembered the number of special greenhouses and the scale of the original greenhouses clearly.

"This is not much different from the original greenhouse..."

Adams frowned...

"Hmm..."

He hesitated, "Here, here, and here, the materials can be a level weaker, but it's still not enough, the funding is too little, and it needs to be increased..."

"This side still needs to be maintained by magic."

Andrew can still understand it without explaining the principle.

"It doesn't matter, there are advanced classes."

? ? ?

Looking at the professor named Adams in front of him, Andrew decided not to apply for the herbal medicine improvement class - whether the grades were good or not was another matter, but he couldn't go anyway.

"And here, for dragon dung and soil, we only need to use the soil from the origin in a few special rooms, and we can mix the rest ourselves, but the budget..."

...

After a lot of haggling and easing, Andrew allocated 70% of the reserved material money to the budget, and repeatedly said that this was the limit.

"Professor Adams, if you ask for more, I'm afraid it won't be completed in the summer. You don't expect that to happen, do you?"

"If you add more, I can only deduct the food money for next year."

Andrew spread his hands, "No more room for negotiation. I hope the subsequent projects don't need to increase the price."

"Okay... let's squeeze the wood together. I'll talk to Hagrid about getting some from the Forbidden Forest, and then..."

After noticing Andrew's firm eyes, he gave up the last budget application, "Okay, it's about the same as the original greenhouse, the professor should be able to accept it."

The dean is embarrassed to haggle, so just ask for a professor... Professor McGonagall probably thinks so too...

With this idea in mind, Andrew finally confirmed the final greenhouse construction plan with Professor Adams, and prepared to go to the site for actual inspection tomorrow, and then finalize the plan.

‘The remaining 30% is fine, so there is a lot of margin for construction - anyway, Professor McGonagall said that it is better to have the remaining money to buy seeds for the Herbology course than to have the exact amount of money…’

‘Such a large project is actually left to me - the professor is too easy-going…’

‘That’s not right, I am the one being watched… Professor Adams seems to want to use all the wood from the Forbidden Forest, and he might want to charge the project fee to Nat…’

Facts have proved that he is a little right, but only a little.

On the second day, Professor Adams took him to a relatively cold location and pointed out the reserved greenhouse location that was said to have been selected for seven or eight years. Professor Alice, who is in charge of finance, and Hagrid were also present.

After several parties nodded and signed at the same time, the general purchase order and purchase money fell to Hagrid, and the same was true for hiring a construction team and the review of the construction team.

“I will get everything done within three days!”

Hagrid waved happily, “Do you need precise drawings with decorations?”

“No, the professor will do it before the holiday…”

Adams shook his head quickly, but he shut up immediately after saying half of it.

‘You asked a professional to draw it before the holiday, right? In fact, the budget was estimated, but they just came with a high-demand drawing to cheat the funds. If I had insisted at that time, there would even be a simple modified drawing, right? ’

Andrew immediately imagined what would happen next.

Aren’t Hufflepuff students said to be kind? They actually treated a student who was not even in the second year like this!

Andrew was very angry and wanted to blackmail the Hufflepuff common room, but considering that this would expose the fact that he had to sleep in a sleeping bag yesterday, he finally gave up.

I was so angry, how did Hufflepuff become like this!

He returned to the common room in a bad mood - the door could be opened today.

When Qiangwei saw him, she cried happily. Well, the water bowl and food bowl were empty - it seemed that it spent the night in the room yesterday and did not return to the owl shed.

And next to it was a guy who looked like he was trying to get a meal but failed. He had long ears, but a letter was tied to his leg.

"Whose letter is it?"

Andrew first added food and water, then untied the letter--then his eyes turned unfriendly.

I'm working overtime at Hogwarts, and you're going to skip home for a date!

Bastard Percy, and this bastard owl named Hermes!

Spreading out the parchment, Andrew reluctantly followed Percy's request in the letter, recalled their time together before the summer vacation, and enthusiastically invited him to come to his place to play for a few days--the world of martial arts needs help, scolding aside, things have to be done.

Andrew tied up the warm invitation letter, and then sent good wishes.

"Senior Penelope seems to be a Muggle? Well, I hope Percy's will-o'-the-wisp will be discovered--the light wheel or the owl will also be fine."
