"No problem, this is just my rough idea. You don't have to be so surprised. When Lijiazhuang develops in the future, we can build some more public welfare houses!"

Li Xuan naturally knew that these two people were very kind to him and the farmers in Lijiazhuang.

However, he also has his own plans.

"Nowadays, cement houses must be built, and each house needs two floors, and the land must be enough for three houses. As for a private school, at least five houses are needed!"

"Tomorrow, you can also inform the officials of the Jin Palace that they can also build houses here, but they need to pay for the materials and money needed for the houses themselves, and I will send craftsmen and laborers to build them for them.

From now on, in the private schools in Lijiazhuang, all the servants of the Jin Dynasty, personal guards, and sons of officials can go in to study and become literate..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Hearing this, Li Chang trembled all over, his face was full of excitement, and he thanked Li Xuan.

Chu Suiliang's eyes lit up and he stopped raising any objections.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will pass this matter on to my subordinates!"

Chu Suiliang and Li Chang said solemnly and quickly retreated.

Afterwards, all the servants and guards of Prince Jin's Mansion were filled with excitement.

Letting their heirs learn to read and write was something they never dared to think about. Who would have thought that their king would actually build a private school for their heirs?

As for some officials from poor families, their faces were full of joy and they approached Chu Suiliang one after another.

Although they are officials of the Jin Palace, they are all migrant officials, that is, officials who have not even reached the ninth rank. Their family background is only slightly better than that of some ordinary people.

Among them, more than half of the officials of the Jin Dynasty did not have fixed housing in Chang'an City.

Not to mention, the children in the family can go to private schools to learn how to read.

In the end, Li Changyi counted more than three hundred servants, officials, and personal guards in the Jin Palace.

Li Xuan was also startled when he heard that so many boys appeared.

However, they are all boys in his own house, Li Xuan said directly.

"No problem, let's build a two-story house with twenty rooms. The extra rooms will be used for the Master's office!"

"Twenty rooms?"

Li Chang and Chu Suiliang were both stunned. This was bigger than the average academy!

"Just build twenty rooms first!"

Li Xuan nodded affirmatively, "However, there needs to be some land left around the private school to continue to expand the house. In the future, the private school will not be enough, so it is easy to expand!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Chang and Chu Suiliang nodded hesitantly.

A private school with twenty rooms, the king actually didn’t think it was big enough!

However, the two of them did not dare to say anything more.

I am afraid that the king will speak again and expand the room.

Later, Chu Suiliang took the simple drawings drawn by Li Xuan and went to find the general and supervisor Gongsun Nian.

During these days, Gongsun Nian would come to Lijiazhuang every day.

However, what makes Gongsun Nian depressed is that he has personally gone to the palace to interview the Holy Spirit regarding the magical properties of cement.

However, His Majesty seems to be not as interested in cement as he was in the methods of making steel and connecting iron.

No matter what Gongsun Nian said, Li Shimin's intention was to wait until the house was built before coming to Lijiazhuang to see it.

Therefore, Gongsun Nian could only come here once a day to ensure that he could take a good look at this cement artifact.

"I've met Lord Gongsun!"

"Chu Changshi?"

Seeing Chu Suiliang, Gongsun Nian was startled.

"I wonder what Chu Changshi has to do with me?"

"The king has something to give you. Lord Gongsun, please take a look!"

Chu Suiliang slightly raised his hand to Gongsun Nian, and instantly handed the drawing in his hand to Gongsun.

"Master Gongsun, this is the king's plan for the surrounding land. The king plans to build a large number of two-story houses as the new homes of the households in Lijiazhuang, and also build twenty rooms in the middle as private schools; this area is a pig pen and a duck pen.

Chicken pens, rice fields... these houses and roads all need to be built with cement, so I need to trouble Lord Gongsun!"

"Since it is your Majesty's business, and you are going to be a prisoner, I would like to ask Chu Changshi to inform your Majesty that when I take a rest the day after tomorrow, I will once again bring fifty Zi people, two hundred craftsmen, and five hundred laborers.

Come here!”

Gongsun Nian said.

"I will take the place of the king first. Thank you very much, Lord Gongsun!"

After hearing this, Chu Suiliang quickly bowed to Gongsun Nian, and then said: "If Lord Gongsun still has Ziren, craftsmen, and even laborers that can be deployed, you can deploy more. Your Majesty wants to take advantage of this opportunity."

Before spring plowing, all the roads in the village are built into cement roads one foot wide. This way, after it rains, we can avoid getting muddy and making it difficult to walk!"

"In this way, I will double the number of people, craftsmen, and labor force!"

After thinking for a moment, Gongsun Nian said again.

Although there will be a waste of labor due to the large number of people, the workers, craftsmen, and laborers can relax more, and more workers and craftsmen can learn to use cement, which is definitely a good thing for the generals and supervisors.

"Thank you, Lord Gongsun!" Chu Suiliang looked happy.

Now, the most indispensable thing in the Jin Palace is money.

Therefore, even if he knew that this would be a waste of labor and cost a few more craftsmen's wages, Chu Suiliang didn't care.

As long as the road can be built as soon as possible, a little money can make up for it!

…

"Xuanba, what a good thing!"

In the early morning, as soon as Li Yuan arrived at Lijiazhuang, he said to Li Xuan with a happy face.

"Old man, what kind of good thing has made you so rude?"

Li Xuan asked with some confusion.

"The day after tomorrow, I should ask Pei Xuanzhen to go to the Cui family in Qinghe to recruit troops. Is there anything Xuanba wants to send?"

As he said this, a hint of teasing flashed in Li Yuan's eyes.

Now, he has gradually accepted the legitimate daughter of the Cui family of Qinghe as his third princess.

"So fast?"

Li Xuan looked startled. It had only been a little over a month, and he had already reached the stage of giving the betrothal gift.

The number of betrothal gifts in the Tang Dynasty was fixed at nine types, including Albizia julibrissin, Jiahe, donkey-hide gelatin, Jiuzipu, Zhuwei, double stones, cotton wool, longevity thread, dry paint, etc. These objects have the meaning of blessing the couple's eternal love.

However, it is natural that a prince marrying a princess cannot only have such a few things, otherwise it would be too shabby.

"Old man, what should I prepare?"

Li Xuan's eyes flickered and he asked quickly.

"What do you want to prepare?" Li Yuan asked.

"If it were winter, I could still give away iron stoves, glass greenhouses, vegetables, and cotton-padded clothes, but now I can only give away money!"

Frowning and thinking for a long time, Li Xuan said helplessly.

At this moment, he realized that after struggling for so long, he seemed to have only gained hundreds of thousands of dollars and some fields, but not any rare treasures or rare objects. He couldn't help but feel a little pain in his head.

After listening, Li Yuan looked stiff and speechless.

On the side, Cheng Chusi and others had suppressed smiles on their faces, but they did not dare to laugh.

"Um?"

Li Xuan glared at these messy things.

"A group of evil disciples who deceive the master and destroy their ancestors every day. Sooner or later, I will drive you out of the master's door!"

Forehead!

Cheng Chusi and others' expressions changed slightly, and they suddenly froze.

"Master, how can you use those rough objects as a betrothal gift? They must be some rare treasures, or precious objects such as silk and Shu brocade. As the king of Jin, you must have some rare objects in your house!" Li Chengqian reminded.

"Is there any?"

Hearing this, Li Xuan directly raised his head and looked at the butler Li Chang beside him.
