"My father-in-law is very helpful, and my son-in-law thanks you. However, this is the son-in-law's private affairs on the surface, so how can we abandon the public because of personal gain? At that time, how do people in the world view their son-in-law? In this way, the academy will easily make people sick and not beautiful." I explained to Uncle Li with a gentle voice.

"Hahaha, you guy, I have helped you to have something to say. Well, but your concerns are good. Those who serve labor are submissive for the country, not for personal gain. I really cannot set this precedent here, so as not to let future generations learn from me, wouldn't the world be in chaos? But what do you mean by renting a laborer?" Uncle Li was curious, afraid that it was the first time he heard this term.

"The so-called renting labor is a new idea that my son-in-law thought of, because the academy is different from the military academy. The military academy is a state public academy, and my Tang Dynasty soldiers are all strong people. I borrowed their hands to build the academy, one to save money for the country, and the other to make them have a stronger sense of belonging to the academy. After all, this academy was built brick by brick by brick by brick." When I said this, I raised my eyelids slightly, and Uncle Li nodded repeatedly: "What the virtuous son-in-law said is indeed not false." Then I signaled me to continue.

"And my idea is that now I have a large number of prisoners of war as laborers, which has added a large number of personnel to the infrastructure of my Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the son-in-law wants to cooperate with the government in his personal name." Then I slowly expressed my ideas and ideas.

"Cooperation?!" Uncle Li blinked his eyes and seemed to have some clarity. He looked at me with his eyes straight, as if he wanted to see what tricks I could say.

"It is. The son-in-law paid for every prisoner of war, well, every laborer rented the academy from the government for five hundred yuan a month." I pursed my lips and expressed my thoughts under Uncle Li's gaze. "In addition, if the laborer died during the renting period of the son-in-law, every laborer would have to compensate the government for ten cents of 100 yuan."

Uncle Li's eyes glanced at the golden light and faded away, but Uncle Li immediately spoke up and said, "What if he ran away?"

I thought about it: "If you escape, the son-in-law will naturally have the responsibility and obligation to catch them back. In addition, the land losses caused by their escape can only be borne by the son-in-law. In addition, if there is disability, the son-in-law will also make a decision to pay."

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

I had no choice but to think of this. First, the Tang Dynasty was a feudal imperialist society. In addition to farming land normally, the people also had to serve the labor stipulated by the state. They did not have time to do private work outside. What's more, they had to pay for their work. And they might not necessarily recruit so many people.

Second, the number of labor I need is absolutely small. After all, for such a large territory, just leveling the land and beautifying the campus environment. The transformation and renovation of the land, as well as a series of basic projects such as drainage systems, will cost at least one or two thousand people, not to mention student dormitories, teacher dormitories, teaching buildings, experimental buildings and buildings of various purposes all require a lot of labor. In addition, the Mid-mountain villa also requires a large amount of land manpower.

According to the accounting offices under Fang Zhu, the general budget has been approved. Perhaps laborers alone want to complete the most important relevant buildings within one year and open the academy before the end of next year, at least 3,500 workers are required. In other words, if the entire academy is wanted to be completed by the end of next year, the number of workers will at least be over.

"Wait, son-in-law, what do you mean by the general project budget?" Uncle Li just took a sip of tea. After hearing what I said, he was suddenly stunned. He reached out and grabbed my arm and asked.

Uncle Li's actions shocked me. After seeing that his expression was only seeking but no negative emotions, I breathed a sigh of relief. This old hooligan was simply a fuss. If I don't even know what the general budget is, then what is the excellent time travel youth?

"To explain the project budget, that is, if Xiaosun wants to build a college, he must calculate the building materials, labor, and various expenses based on the current Tang Dynasty price standards based on the current Tang Dynasty's price standards, so that Xiaosun can prepare corresponding funds in advance, so that he can avoid accidents such as insufficient materials or insufficient expenses during the project." I thought for a while, and slowly explained the project budget I understood to Uncle Li.

Uncle Li narrowed his eyes and looked at the ginkgo tea in front of him, as if he was in a daze. He did not ask me to continue talking, nor did he say anything. This made me feel a little confused. He could only stand at the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and pretend to be stupid with him.

"Well, your idea is good, very good!" Uncle Li, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said something. He didn't look at me, his head was raised again, looking at Fang Liang in a daze. What did you do? Did a spider shit into his teacup just now? I also looked up at Fang Liang, at least I didn't find any trace of the spider.

Could it be that I am not willing to offer such preferential conditions? But for the sake of the academy, I had to do this and had to come up with a trick. "My father-in-law, and the son-in-law will pay first and then hire people after signing an agreement with the government. In this way, the government will not suffer any loss."

"What about their clothes, food and accommodation?" Uncle Li asked me again. When I heard Uncle Li's words, I knew that there must be a chance. I immediately patted my chest and said, "Of course, it is the responsibility of the rented workers. Moreover, the son-in-law also wants the workers to have enough food and clothing, so that they can have the strength to work for the son-in-law."

"Your idea is very novel, but it makes sense." Uncle Li stood up, walked for several steps, stood still, looked at me with a smile and said, "I agree! But I have a condition." Uncle Li raised a finger at me.

"My father-in-law, even if you can do anything that your son-in-law can do, you will never refuse to go through fire and water!" I quickly patted my chest and agreed. Uncle Li smiled, patted my shoulder, and sat beside me: "With this, I feel relieved, but I will ask you something first. I will hit you with a boiling hand. If any project built by my Tang Dynasty Department of Works is like a son-in-law building a college, I will first set up a budget first, so as not to report the materials once every time I sell them, is it much easier to get them?"

Uncle Li's words stunned me. This old guy is too smart, right? Is he probably the only one who can learn from it.

I gave Uncle Li a thumbs up: "High! It's really high! My father-in-law is so quick-thinking, and even the son-in-law is too fast to beat the horse. The ability to learn from one example and apply it to other things makes the son-in-law feel incredible. If this is true, it will not only shorten the cycle of our Tang Dynasty in all aspects of construction, but also save a lot of waste. After all, it is definitely a matter of benefiting the country and the people based on the price of goods, the length of working hours and the number of workers."

Uncle Li's vision is indeed very vicious. Just from my words, I can pick up some information that is beneficial to the court. This ability to dig jade in a brick is indeed something I can't catch up with.

"Hahaha! What the virtuous son-in-law said makes me praise me as a god in heaven. This is not the virtuous son-in-law you mentioned this idea first, otherwise it would be difficult for me to think of this method. Well, in fact, this method can not only be used in the Ministry of Works, the three provinces and six ministries, including the prefectures and counties of the Tang Dynasty, but you still have to think carefully before you can do things." Uncle Li happily was patted. "But virtuous son-in-law, it's better not to have your credit. If this matter is revealed, it will inevitably offend a lot of people."

I stood up and bowed to Uncle Li, saying, "I just obey my father-in-law's instructions. In fact, just now, the son-in-law was just throwing a brick to attract Yu'er. The son-in-law was short-sighted and only saw his own benefits and interests, and worked for his own self-interest. However, the father-in-law was able to consider our country and the country and the people of the world. Just from the perspective of vision and discovering strategies to benefit the country and the people from small things is enough to make the son-in-law feel ashamed and insignificant."

Uncle Li's face turned red, and he happily narrowed his eyes, which were almost slit, and stood up to support me: "This is a bad thing for a son-in-law. The talent of a son-in-law is very comparable. After all, you are still young, so you should relax your vision in the future and stay away..."

I praise Uncle Li, I am just a green leaf to set off the flower of Uncle Li. Uncle Li is good at guiding me and pointed out the right direction for me. It is like a bright moon, illuminating the road ahead of me, making me suddenly enlightened in the dark, and thoughts are like a spring of thoughts...
