The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"Let's build it together." Yan Lide asked.

"Well, it's just a matter of building one more house." Li Fu said: "When we build the house, we will definitely need a lot of stones and wood. It will be enough to build a school. Let's go to the village school later."

"Okay." Yan Lide nodded in response.

In the past, I knew that King Jingyang was just a royal relative who could make the emperor happy and a descendant of the emperor.

Later, I felt that King Jingyang was quite talented in managing the properties under his name.

And now... I have seen a different King Jingyang with my own eyes.

King Jingyang is kind-hearted. If he can work in the court and hold a real position in the future, it will definitely be a blessing for the people of the Tang Dynasty.

It's a pity that it seems that he is not interested in this.

"Young Master Yan can stay in the manor for a while longer." Li Fu said, "The mansion in Jingyang County has a foreign affairs manager named Zhang Huan. I have asked Zhang Huan to contact merchants to facilitate the purchase of all materials for building the mansion."

"In addition, if you need labor, there are young and strong people available in the manor. In addition, women and children in the manor who have not worked in the workshop can go to the construction site to cook and work for me here. They will be provided with two meals a day."

"Because young and strong laborers from other villages will be hired to work here, the temporary sheds built on the manor will not be demolished. Those who live far from home will be arranged to live here."

Li Fu talked to Yan Lide for a long time.

After listening, Yan Lide praised the King of Jingyang for his thoughtfulness.

Even the servants are arranged so detailed, and two meals a day are provided. Where can you find such good treatment these days?

"For the construction of the mansion, I can borrow some key managers from the Ministry of Revenue." Yan Lide said, "As for carpenters, all the famous carpenters in Chang'an City have been recruited by your Highness. You still need to worry about this."

"If there are any problems, Yan Shaojiang will tell Zhang Huan, and Zhang Huan will find a way to coordinate and dispatch." Li Fu responded.

Li Fu rebuilt the Jingyang King's mansion on the farm, which is also a big project.

There are regulations on the specifications, but there are too many things that can be done within the specifications.

Li Fu originally wanted to build a new house for himself to live in and enjoy, so he would never build it like the old house or the Jingyang King's house in Chang'an City.

Ordinary houses cannot satisfy Li Fu's advanced enjoyment.

"That's great." Yan Lide responded. At the same time, after seeing the terrain here today, he was also thinking frantically about the drawings of the mansion in his heart.

Within the rules of the Prince's residence, it is also a very refreshing thing to give full play to one's imagination and talents.

Not to mention, the King of Jingyang has already made it clear that he has money and people!

He doesn't even set a budget, and the money is enough.

This also makes Yan Lide excited.

The two brothers of the Yan family are artists, and they also have the obsession and paranoia of artists. However, now that Yan Liben is in the Shangshu Province, he has temporarily put away his artistic spirit.

Yan Lide stayed in the manor for the time being.

When Li Shimin knew that Yan Lide stayed in Jingyang County, he just smiled.

"This Li Fu is really quick, and it's about to start."

"Your Majesty, are you talking about the brother of the King of Jingyang building a house on the manor?"

"You also know about this?" Li Shimin was surprised.

"I went to pay my respects to the Emperor, and I learned from him when we were chatting. He wants to build a new house, and I think that's a good idea." Empress Changsun said while massaging Li Shimin's shoulders.

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"The house he has on the farm is indeed quite old, and it's old and dilapidated. Besides, the Prince of Jingyang hasn't married yet." Empress Changsun smiled and said, "He has made money now, so it's understandable that he wants to build a house."

"Didn't the Emperor give him a house in Chang'an City? It's the standard of a prince's house. If he gets married in the future, that house will be beautiful enough."

"You have to spend your money somewhere." Empress Changsun still had a smile on her face: "Brother Jingyang, , seems to care nothing, but the more he does this, the more distressed he is. This is what father said. "

"Father feels sorry for him and thinks that the family has not done enough to make him wander outside for so many years." Li Shimin sighed: "However, father, besides you, he is the only one who cares about you. Thanks to you two, I have no more worries."

"It is also my duty to share Erlang's worries."

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it is even more difficult to fall asleep at night. I lie on the couch and don't move.After a short while, my back was covered with sweat.

In the first dog days of summer, cicadas on the trees outside began to chirp during the day, and Li Fu felt noisy even when he was taking a nap in the shade under the corridor.

"Xiao Tao, go kick that tree twice." Li Fu frowned and said.

Xiao Tao covered her mouth and laughed softly: "If you don't like to hear the cicadas, I will ask someone to catch all the cicadas in the book."

"But, if we catch the cicadas on this tree, there are still other trees. The noise will spread far."

There are many trees in the house, and we rely on the trees in the yard for shade in summer.

Unless you catch these things every day, there will always be noise, and there are trees outside the house.

Nowadays, most people in the house are busy, so busy that they really can't spare anyone to do such things.

Li Fu's house has been started.

Yan Lide still lived in the manor, in Li Fu's house, and was served with good food and drink every day.

He was the chief foreman, so how could he not take good care of him?

Old Yan couldn't even enjoy ice at home, but here, he couldn't sleep without it every night.

It was such a comfortable life.

After taking a close look at the terrain that day, Yan Lide spent five days in the study room specially built for him by Li Fu, and began to study the blueprints of the house.

Li Fu was also there, and gave his own suggestions.

Some things had to be done from the beginning of building the house.

For example, Li Fu wanted to lay the pipes for drainage, and the ground dragon that had to be connected to the entire room.

If the ground dragon was not lit in this place in the winter, he couldn't leave the quilt at all.

It was hard to get up to pee in the cold weather.

Many of Li Fu's ideas also inspired Yan Lide, making his creative desire burst.

Now Yan Lide has two boxes of blueprints in his study, all for Li Fu's new house.

The new paper used is from Li Fu's old workshop, but Yan Lide is very greedy.

What a good paper!
