029 Comprehensive construction (two)
Su Yang couldn’t see the treasure in Li You’s mouth anyway. Several large houses were being built with bricks and stones. It was completely unclear what they were used for. The deep pit on the side attracted Su Yang’s attention. After looking at it, it was a spherical pit with a lot of bricks stacked on the side. It looked like it had to be built with bricks to use it.
"Young Master, what's the use of these big pits?" Su Yang was really curious, so he asked.
Li You simply said that this is used for fattening. Here are a few large sheds that are used to raise chickens, pigs and cattle. These large pits are used for manure. The fertilizer comes from here.
Regarding the raising of domestic animals, there was no large-scale centralized raising at this time, and the family was still the unit, and the output was not large-scale. The houses built now are the large-scale breeding prepared by Li You, let alone this. Even on the side of the depression, Li You simply asked someone to dig it to raise fish. Anyway, he made the best use of the land.
The small river on the side, although it is only a forked river, it is nearly ten meters wide. Now a dam is being built here. This is used for irrigation, and there is a waterwheel base on the riverside. Li You is still considering Is more comprehensive.
The most special thing is the workshop built on another small river. This is surrounded by a wall, and a section of the river is directly framed in. Outsiders don’t know what it is used for, but here Su Yang knows that last time He followed Li You to see it. This is a hydraulic workshop that specializes in making woodware. According to Li You's words, any woodware produced here is standard and the same.
The next step Li You will do is woodware. This is also a business. After all, it is good to raise so many people and be more diversified. Anyway, there are more forehanders.
When Li You returned to the academy, he looked at the huge piece of land at the back of his house. There were a thousand acres of land here. He deliberately set it aside and planned to consider it later, because he really couldn’t think of it. Since he was still short of money, he just kept it. Anyway, he has asked people to plant trees, and the young people under his team are also training here, which is not in vain.
There are also two rows of long houses built here for those teenagers to live in. According to Li You’s vision, this group of people will be trained for a few more years, and then they will be able to train newcomers on their behalf. In this way, at least he It can be freed up.
"Su Yang, go and see how they are doing." Just a few steps out, Li You asked again: "Are you practicing boxing at night?"
Su Yang scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "Yes, Young Master, I just practiced if I had nothing to do at night."
"When the Dangshan matter is over, you will go to train with everyone. I will teach you for three months. What you can practice depends on your own skills. After that, I plan to let you go to the school. Don't worry, you are still It’s my pro-family, just follow me when I have nothing to do. This time, I only chose you, Gao Huailiang, and Qin Feng to enroll in a comprehensive study of essential classics."
"Young Master, why is this? Why do you want me to go to the academy?" Su Yang looked at Li You blankly.
"You and Gao Huailiang are both talents that can be created. I intend to let the three of you mix in the officialdom in the future. This way, it will be good for you and me. All three of you are also 16 years old and have all read books. As long as good students are trained, you can definitely make a difference. Once you are officials, this is also a good thing for the Li family. In the future, if there are talents who are suitable for studies, I will do the same."
"But, young master, I..."
Li You raised his hand and interrupted Su Yang, saying, "The Li family has no foundation, everything has to rely on yourself, why I am like this, you should understand, OK, this matter is settled like this, you only have four years of schooling. Time, whether you can enter the ranks or not, depends on whether you work hard. Don't worry, I will help you with poems and essays. You don't need to consider the others, you just need to prepare for the exam."
"Yes, young master."
After speaking, Li You took Su Yang to the training ground. Here, there are more than one hundred people who are practicing in full swing. Chen Fan watched for a while, but there was nothing wrong with it. Li You just looked at it from a distance. Did not bother them.
After returning home, Li You went to his mother Li Yao and told her about the current progress and the general construction situation. After listening, Li Yao only asked one question, and that was money. This time, all the merchants, Li's family only paid a deposit, and once the construction period was completed, they had to settle the payment, but the money Li Yao did not count, it was still more than 6,000 guan.
According to the current construction speed, many projects can be completed in less than half a year. At that time, the Li family will need to settle at least four thousand copper coins at one time. In any case, the Li family will not be able to come up with so much money. Li Yao couldn't help it too, so she asked.
"Mother, don't worry, the son has his own plan on this matter, and he won't go wrong. It only takes three months at most, and the child must make up enough money."
Li Yao looked at her son, and saw that he was still silent about how to find money, and she was a little angry: "You'er, this is no small matter. If you have a way, why don't you be afraid to tell the mother, it is impossible, you Planning to do something wrong?"
"Mother, where did you want to go? My son doesn't want to tell me. I'm also afraid of my mother. You are worried. Okay, since my mother wants to know, I will tell you the truth. The goods we shipped to Shengzhou were taken by Dangshan bandits and killed. We have eight guys who shipped goods. Now, my son has asked them to find out where they are. Once it is verified, I will let people get rid of the bandit. Since they are bandits, they must have money in their hands. , This is what my son thinks."

After Li You finished speaking, Li Yao also breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid of her son's unjust actions for money. Although she knew that Li You was not such a person, the reality can change people, and she has to make her think more. . She also knew that Li You now has more than 100 people in his hands, especially the more than 30 people who used to follow from Shu, and most people can't really beat them.
"You'er, you have to think carefully about this matter."
Seeing his mother's words eased, Li You also smiled at his mother and said: "Don't worry, my son will not go this time. I will let Hong Wu and Gouzi go, so I can see if they can do it by themselves. Things are done well. They are the foundation of my Li family in the future. This is the way in this world, and the children have to be like this."
Li Yao also sighed lightly. She also knew that the Li family now has such a situation, and these people are raised by their sons. With them, no one will cause trouble. This is the reality. No one, even if they have money, is useless. , It’s not so easy to want to live well and live a good life smoothly. Thinking of this, she thought of her own life experience again, and her expression was much saddened.
Seeing that his mother was a little distressed, Li You got up and left. He knew that his mother needed to be alone. (End of this chapter)
