The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

In the future, the courses of the academy will not be single at all.

The teachers to be invited are also of various types.

What if the one who teaches the art of war is Li Ji, Li Jing and others?

What if the one who teaches other subjects is Lu Deming, Xiao Yu and others?

And Li Gang, it is unlucky for this guy to teach the prince, but he is more than enough to teach ordinary students.

At that time, think about bringing all the older "loose cultivators" in the court to the academy.

You can't really be old and still burn your last breath for the Tang Dynasty in the court, right?

It's better to burn for the academy and train more young people.

"After your careful selection, Huairen, it has developed. If others don't like the academy and want to do something to it, they will probably have to think twice." Lu Deming said: "Before the academy has developed, Huairen can just say that this is just the clan school that your Jingyang Palace is preparing to build in the future."

First use a name to hide it.

"But, Huairen is now at this age, and the palace is still empty. This problem must be taken seriously." Lu Deming joked with Li Fu with a smile.

Normal families, like Li Fu's age, have at least two children.

This guy hasn't married yet.

"Yeah, I'm taking it seriously." Li Fu agreed perfunctorily.

Regarding this issue, Lu Deming also knew that this was caused by the lack of a female family member who could make decisions in the Jingyang Palace. Therefore, Li Fu's personal problems can only be handled by His Majesty, the Emperor, and the Empress in the palace.

Li Fu himself cannot be blamed for this problem.

If he really went to the door and asked to marry someone's daughter, it would be really reckless. The wealthy families in Chang'an City really look down on such a reckless man, even if Li Fu is a prince.

"How do you plan to expand the school this year?" Lu Deming asked.

Comparing the drawings that were originally left here with Lu Deming, Li Fu said: "The martial arts field needs to be built, and the dormitories for the teachers of the academy also need to be built, as well as the canteen and new classrooms, and in addition, there are student dormitories."

"If the students need it, they can live in the academy. Now the children of the academy are all from the farm. They go to school and come home every day, which is not too far from home. Living at home is fine, but if children from other places come here to study in the future, they must have a place to live."

"In addition, the issue of accommodation and food charges after the academy is built must also be discussed."

"At first, there were not many students, thirty or forty, and it was still affordable, but later there were more students and more teachers, and the academy had to spend money every day." Li Fu said: "The issue of fees will be discussed sooner or later."

Lu Deming nodded slightly.

The academy charges fees, tuition, food, drink, and accommodation, these are all reasonable.

The teachers of the academy also have to support their families. Don't you want to give them salaries?

It is not easy to hire a learned gentleman.

At present, everyone in the village knows that the King of Jingyang is paying for the academy.

Now the amount is small, so it is not a big problem to pay for one or two years.

But in the long run, how long can the Jingyang Palace pay? How much?

The future expenses will definitely be higher every year.

"It is not too late to discuss these issues after the academy is completed." Li Fu said.

Anyway, whenever the academy is built, he will definitely pay a huge amount of money.

If you want to go to school, it cannot be free, unless the child is gifted to a certain extent, has a talent for studying, and is diligent and hardworking, then the academy can set up a scholarship system.

But fees must be charged!

No matter how many industries the Jingyang Palace has or how much money it earns, it cannot afford to support a free academy.

"This is a big project, and it may not be completed in a year." Lu Deming said.

"As long as there are enough people, we can start the work at the same time!" Li Fu said firmly: "Now, the most in short supply is workers. At that time, I will let Zhang Huan spread the news that those who participate in locust extermination in each village will be given priority."

"This will not only allow them to participate in locust extermination more actively, but also provide food security for subsequent work, so that the family will not starve." Li Fu said: "In this case, I don't believe that two or three thousand people can't be recruited."

"Two or three thousand people?!" Lu Deming was stunned.

"At least two or three thousand people, even five or six thousand people, the farm can accommodate them." Li Fu was full of confidence.

"No, no, no, I'm not saying it's too little, I think it's too much." Lu Deming said: "Two or three thousand people! You even want five or six thousand people?!"

"Why not?" LiFu asked back: "Isn't it better to have more people? Anyway, I don't plan to keep the grain in the four warehouses. This is a matter of mutual benefit. Of course, the more people involved, the better."

Lu Deming shook his head slightly.

"Huairen, you also participated in the renovation of Da'an Palace. At that time, how many people did the Ministry of Works and the Craftsmen Supervisor use to renovate Da'an Palace for the emperor?"

"If you say so, it will be a bit too much."

Lu Deming is worried that Li Fu is too high-profile.

"Big? Bigger is better!" Li Fu waved his hand proudly: "I want to make a difference in the entire fiefdom of Jingyang County and open up a new path for the Tang Dynasty."

"As long as it works in the manor, it means that it can work in other places as well." Li Fu explained: "In the end, it's nothing more than a matter of money."

"You also know that it's a matter of money. The key is that there is not so much money in other places! How much money have you invested in this manor from the beginning to now? At least hundreds of thousands of strings of cash, right? Where else can you get this? Hundreds of thousands of strings of cash?"

"Old Lu, let me give you an example." Li Fu smiled and said, "Dengzhou Prefecture is located along the coast, where fisheries and salt industry can be developed. This is a natural geographical advantage, right? Then, let's be a little more fanciful. The local officials of Dengzhou Prefecture are honest and do not become corrupt officials. Then, the court allocates 500,000 strings of cash to vigorously develop coastal areas, fisheries and salt industry, just like I spend money to build workshops on this farm. In the future, will these two industries also bring more benefits to the court than 500,000 strings of cash?"

This is called a pilot project.

This is called reform.

This is called the court's demarcation of special economic zones.

This is called the central government's support for the development of local characteristic industries.

"So, everything I do on the farm is reasonable, and your majesty knows it." Li Fu said, "Look, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is sitting here listening to you and me talk about these things. There is absolutely no problem."

Li Fu spread his hands.

He didn't hide anything.
