The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"Since I came back from you, I have visited many places. I specifically went to see how ordinary people around Chang'an live, how they farm and how they live." Lu Deming said, "If Your Highness hadn't done so many things in Jingyang County, the ordinary people in Jingyang County would be no different from those in other places. They would be just an ordinary person among the millions of people in the mighty Tang Dynasty."

"It's still the same now." Li Fu smiled.

He smiled and poured wine for Lu Deming.

"It's different, it's really different." Lu Deming whispered, "Just your farm, even the people around you benefit from it. You said that you spend money on your farm, but the people around you have work to do during the slack season, and they make money."

"After seeing it myself and comparing it, I know that you really did it."

Lu Deming gave Li Fu a thumbs up.

If you want to talk about extravagance and debauchery, you can build a workshop on your own farm, build a new house, and collect corvée labor on your fiefdom. Then the only beneficiary of this is the owner.

But the King of Jingyang did not collect corvée labor on his fiefdom. He paid for it himself. Those were real copper coins and silk, which were given to the people who came to work. This was employment, providing people with a way to make money.

How can this be considered extravagance and debauchery?

He paid money, real money, within the regulations of the county king, and he could enjoy it as much as he wanted.

"People there have a good life now, and their families are rich. I see that many people have renovated their houses." Lu Deming said with a smile: "Your Highness, next year I want to buy a piece of land on your farm, build a new house, and live there for a while."

"It's a waste of time." Li Fu said with a smile: "As long as you are willing, you can come and live here anytime."

"No, no, no, it's different." Lu Deming said: "Now, I am in my own house, doing these things, doing small things, thinking about things by myself behind closed doors, which is different from being outside. I think, when the weather gets warmer, I still need to get in touch with the outside more.

In the past, I just immersed myself in books and studied books. For so many years, all my insights have not been able to leave the circle of books."

Li Fu thought about it and realized that this matter really cannot be forced.

"That's fine. There are ready-made houses in the village. If you don't mind, I'll prepare one for you. You can bring some people to live there. If you really build a house on the farm, it will cost a lot of money and food. Even if the work is done quickly, it will take a year or two." Li Fu said with a smile.

Lu Deming nodded. Yes, the arrangement of King Jingyang is reasonable.

As for Li Fu, he thought that if Lu Deming really moved to live in the farm, the school on the farm would become interesting.

Under the banner of old man Lu, he would recruit some powerful teachers to teach the children on the farm.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if the school slowly developed and expanded?

If Lu Deming went there, he would live there, and his reputation would be very useful.

He is still the prince's teacher.

Although Li Fu is also the Prince's tutor, he is only half-baked. He talks about knowledge points here and there without a system. It's okay for him to sit here and chat.

If you really want to enlighten children and teach them to read, you have to be a dedicated teacher.

You can't teach whatever you think of like Li Fu. Although what he teaches makes sense, it's okay to teach occasionally, just as an expansion, but these days, letting Li Fu teach in this environment is equivalent to misleading students.

"Of course, when you live in the manor, I have an unwelcome request." Li Fu was a little embarrassed.

He even quit many classes in the East Palace and ran to the manor. Li Fu asked him to teach the children in the manor. No matter how you look at it, it seems a bit of a waste of talent.

"Your Highness, please speak." Lu Deming looked at Li Fu.

Li Fu told Lu Deming about the class in the manor.

I had discussed this issue with Yan Lide when I was planning the manor with Yan Lide.

But Yan Lide was only responsible for planning and construction.

But the teacher configuration had to be figured out by Li Fu, the owner.

"I wonder if you have any disciples who have not yet entered the government." Li Fu asked: "There is a school in the manor, and I think we should hire some teachers for the children. The teachers hired in the manor are only enlightenment teachers. I think that as the children grow up and study for a long time, they should learn more things to survive in the future."

"If it is possible in the future, I would like to invite you to teach a class once a month." Li Fu said.

Lu Deming nodded as he listened.

"That's fine, as forCandidates, let me think about it, I will find you a suitable one. Teaching children to read and understand is a big deal. "Lu Deming said.

"Then I'll leave this to Dr. Lu." Li Fu hurriedly bowed.

Lu Deming looked at Li Fu with admiration, and he also bowed.

"Your Highness can do this for the farmers on your own farm, which is rare in ancient and modern times."

"Everything is for the people on the farm." Li Fu said with a smile: "When I hadn't recognized the emperor, I talked about the attitude towards the farmers on the farm. At that time, I said that it was the hard work of the farmers that made the master's granary full. The development and growth of the farm is the responsibility of the master, and the farmers support the master, and the master is attentive to the farmers. A good relationship between the two sides can develop for a long time. ”

“Wealth and honor can only last for three generations, but poetry and books can last for generations. Poetry and books can be passed down to educate people, and although they may decline for a while, they can always produce talents after one or two generations to revive the clan and make it last forever.

The same is true for Zhuangzi. As the head of the family, if I want to continue the family for a long time, I must not only educate my own family, but also the farmers on the Zhuangzi, so that they can be well-educated and less likely to cause trouble. In this way, the family can be passed down for a longer time.

The head of the family is poetry and books, and the farmers are farming and reading. Farming is for crops, and the farmers are farming and reading. Farming is for crops, and the five grains are abundant. They support their families and establish their lives. Reading books, poetry and books, etiquette, self-cultivation, and high morals are established. Farming, reading, poetry and books are not only for learning how to be a person, but also for learning how to make a living. ”

“Now I am tossing about Zhuangzi for the long-term consideration. People can't just focus on the present. ”

“Good, great good. "Lu Deming clapped his hands excitedly.

He had never thought that at this age, he would meet the King of Jingyang by chance, and that the King of Jingyang was actually a person he could consider a confidant.

Although he is young, these words touched his heart.

"Your Highness' words should be made clear, hahahahahaha."
