The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"Old Lu, I'm relieved that you have this mentality." Li Fu smiled and said, "There are a lot of things to do in the academy, but there are so many people in front and behind. If things are arranged, there are not many things that really need to be worried about. Just let them do it. You are now the living signboard of the academy."

Lu Deming smiled and said, "The world is beautiful, but I haven't lived enough. By the way, what about this year's enrollment plan? There are many inquiries."

"Huh? Inquiries?" Li Fu was puzzled: "Has the reputation of the academy spread now? Someone asked you about it through connections?"

Lu Deming shook his head: "It was the students who asked, saying that their fellow townsmen asked them to inquire."

Now, Li Fu was in trouble.

"Right now, the academy really has no plan to recruit students. Last year, it was full all of a sudden." Li Fu explained, "And now the academy's situation, Lao Lu, you are more familiar with it than I am. The scale is here, and there is no room for more students."

"If the enrollment is expanded, it will be a huge burden for the academy. The academy's school buildings, dormitories, canteens, and other burdens brought by the increase in the number of students, such as the training grounds and textbooks, are not something that the academy can handle at the current scale."

Last year, the academy expanded, and it only took one year to expand.

Now it can accommodate 200 students, which is already full.

These 200 students are divided into several grades, and according to the division of the academy, it will take at least three years for the first batch of students to graduate from the academy.

This is because when recruiting, these students have a good foundation and have a certain foundation in reading, so it will be so fast.

As for those who have no foundation and start from enlightenment, if they want to graduate from the academy, according to the academy's plan, it will take at least five or six years.

Of course, it is not ruled out that they choose not to go to school in the middle.

There is a saying that there is intention to divide majors in the three to five years after entering the academy.

And now the construction of various majors in the academy has just started.

In other words, it takes at least three years to study in the academy. After graduating from the initial stage, three years later, they will be divided into majors. According to their talents, they can continue to study or be assigned to other majors to learn a technology.

After the assignment, the academy's teaching hall will have vacancies and start to add new students every year.

In other words, starting from last year, the academy has no intention of recruiting students in the next three to five years.

Everything is starting, and all resources should be tilted on the more than 200 students at present.

"So, in the short term in the future, the academy will not recruit students?" Lu Deming asked.

"It seems so now. After the third phase of the academy project is completed, we may be able to make appropriate adjustments." Li Fu said, "The academy must grow and develop, but we can't rush it now."

To put it bluntly, it's not good to take too big a step.

Lu Deming nodded seriously.

"Looking at the situation on the whole manor, it is indeed the case." Lu Deming said, "Going too fast is not necessarily a good thing. I am very happy that you can be so calm and have a long-term vision at your age."

Li Fu is like a friend to Lu Deming, and also like a younger generation of his family.

Seeing that Li Fu can do this, Lu Deming is also happy for Li Fu from the bottom of his heart.

"The academy will cultivate the existing students into talents, so as not to disappoint their initial trust in the academy." Li Fu smiled and said, "The various facilities of the academy will gradually be improved, but this year, it is difficult to make big moves."

The finances of the Jingyang Palace do not allow for big openings and closings like last year.

Li Fu has been discussing with the relevant persons in charge of the tea houses and the shopkeepers in various places about the sharp increase in the price of tea before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

We have to make up for the losses.

The drought in Guanzhong has made the wealthy families stingy.

In other places, if you want to enjoy, you have to pay something, right?

If you want face, it's easy to say, just pay.

No one is stopping you from having face.

Li Fu did not stand on the high ground of morality to point fingers at the wealthy families whose grains rotted in their warehouses at home.

Then you guys should stop pointing fingers at me about making money.

Wouldn't it be good for everyone to be well?

But you don't do this, you don't want to be well.

You took advantage of the time when people left Chang'an City to make small moves and ruined the lives of your own family.

Do you think this matter is over?

That was the court that let you go.

The Jingyang Palace has not gone over yet.

Li Fu had been wanting to vent his anger for a long time.

Raise the price, raise the price sharply!

The leeks are so lush,Cut hard!!!

Damn you, you made me so nervous in Linying. If I don't get rid of this anger, what's the point of being the King of Jingyang and doing business?

Go home and have more children to live in old age!

You are a member of the royal family, but you still live a miserable life?

Li Fu found another desk in Lu Deming's study and sat down.

"I have nothing to do today, so I'll just sit in your study. It's good to calm down and read some books." Li Fu picked up a book written by Lu Deming next to him.

"Can you calm down at this time?" Lu Deming asked, "There are so many chores in the manor, and Chang'an City probably wants you to go back."

"Even if I leave, there are people to do everything in the manor, just like here in the academy, everyone has their own responsibilities. If I rely on myself to do everything, I will be exhausted sooner or later. The manor is so big, and there are so many industries in the Jingyang Palace. Can I handle it? I have learned to delegate power a long time ago." Li Fu leaned back in the chair leisurely, enjoying the weak sunlight shining in from the window.

"As for Chang'an City, isn't it the Mid-Autumn Festival yet?" Li Fu smiled.

"Yes, it's not the Mid-Autumn Festival yet, but the price of tea has gone up." Lu Deming smiled.

"Oh? How do you know this?" Li Fu was curious.

Lu Deming lived in the manor, so how could he lack his food, clothing and daily necessities? The tea was all selected from the best tea and specially delivered to his house.

"My subordinates are just asking around. This kind of thing will spread faster than you think." Lu Deming laughed and said, "Why, do you really have no money?"

Li Fu shook his head.

"This is not about money. I have to bear this grudge. The price increase of tea has nothing to do with ordinary people. Anyway, ordinary people can't afford it."

Lu Deming thought about it and agreed.

That means it has something to do with the rich and powerful.

During the time when Li Fu went to Linying, hundreds of people were executed on the streets of Chang'an City...
