Three days after the start of school, Chaoyang Academy has entered the right track, and these less than 3,000 new students have quickly adapted to the current life. Living in Chaoyang Courtyard is more comfortable than his own home, and the people who teach are not a few years older than him, or even younger, and I feel that there is no generation gap, and it is basically a relationship between teachers and friends. It's just that there are a lot of rules, such as taking a bath every day, queuing up for meals, putting things in place according to the regulations, and "supervisors" with red armbands supervising them. Of course, the most popular among boys is football, just three days, by the first, second phase of the football frenzy swept the entire Chaoyang Academy, as soon as the playground to the end of class, there are many people playing.

Chaoyang Courtyard is peaceful, and the Zhu Houwei brothers are not so comfortable, why? Lack of money. Now in addition to the reserved workers' wages for a few months, Zhu Mansion and Huangzhuang also have some silver for purchasing materials, and the daily expenses of Chaoyang Courtyard are only 200,000 taels. Now there are nearly 100 royal estates in Gyeonggi to be rebuilt, which is a drop in the bucket.

There is still grain and livestock in the Imperial Village, but these have to be sent to the villages that will be rebuilt, the grain is to feed the villagers, and the livestock is used for breeding, so there is not much silver here. In order to complete the renovation of Huangzhuang as soon as possible, Zhu Houwei also worked hard.

First of all, Mr. Jin Yong, who has been long-awaited by the people of the Ming Dynasty, has reappeared, and the new work, the sequel to the previous one, "The Condor Heroes", has begun to be listed. It has been 3 years since Mr. Jin wrote his first work, although during this time, there have been many imitation books on the market, such as "The Legend of the Horse Shooting Heroes", "Desert Heroes", "Seven Heroes of Jiangnan", etc., no matter which one is not as good as Mr. Jin's writing, plot twists and the most important article theme "The great man of chivalry, for the country and the people". After the edification of so many low-quality works, the masses' appeal for Mr. Jin to reappear in the rivers and lakes is getting louder and louder, but unfortunately Mr. Jin's dragon has no head or tail, and it is very mysterious, and he can't inquire about his true identity at all, so the masses can only wait silently.

As soon as the new work was launched this time, it was immediately robbed, and a lot of money poured into Zhu's mansion, Jinyiwei, and the bookstore also made a lot of money. In just 10 days, 200,000 taels of money were sent to Zhufu, and booksellers from various provinces also came to seek cooperation. Everyone who comes vaguely knows that this book has a deep background, and once the previous book appears to be printed privately, it will soon get a free seal, and not only that, but there will also be a brocade guard to come to your door. There are a few people who rely on their own families to have a lot of contacts in the officialdom, move up and down, and finally spend a lot of money and only get one, "Forget about it, it's indeed your fault." This basically eliminates the existence of piracy.

With this amount of money, the total amount that can be used is almost less than 500,000 taels, and the Zhu Houwei brothers decided to start the reconstruction project immediately, and each Zhuangzi sent a total of 5 students to the first and second phases. In addition, there are 20 Jinyi guards escorted, stationed there, Jinyi Wei not only received a monthly money in the hundred households, but also led 3 taels of silver in Huangzhuang, and those who were sent out were also happy.

Less than 100 Zhuangzi has a total of 5 Guanzhuang, this reconstruction, Zhu Houzhao brother specially asked Mu Bin to take his subordinates to the 5 Guanzhuang first, first to see the attitude of the 5 Guanzhuang eunuchs, if someone surrenders, then spare his life, if it is stubborn, wait until the audit finds out the problem and then beg for mercy, then I'm sorry. These eunuchs are basically the same as the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, and there must be unjust, false and wrongful cases when they are all beheaded.

Sure enough, only 1 of the 5 Zhuangzi eunuchs was clean and self-conscious, there was no corruption, and the account book was also on the right number, and the other 4 people were diehards, and they were all good before the audit, and they were loyal to the Ming royal family, but after checking the accounts, they were all like cramped dead dogs, slumped on the ground motionless, and kept muttering, "How is this possible, the account book has been redone?" In any case, the end of these four is already doomed. Hongzhi issued an edict, the original 5 Huangzhuang remained unchanged, and the eunuch who was not corrupt served as the big Guanzhuang, commanding the 5 Zhuang, in addition to the necessary materials in the Zhuangzi, all the others were transported to Baitazhuang in Sanhe County, and the Daguanzhuang Mansion was also there. Baitazhuang will be enlarged, and many fields will be leveled for the construction of fences, warehouses, threshing floors, etc.

Not to mention water conservancy, the construction of villagers' houses, canals, drainage facilities, and wells will consume a lot of manpower. Relying on the existing more than 10,000 construction workers, the number is far from enough, Zhu Houzhao's brothers immediately made a decision, sent Bai Xiaode to lead dozens of workers from Shandong, Jinyiwei all the way to protect, and then to Shandong to recruit workers, this time to recruit at least 50,000 people, to ensure that there can be about 30,000 laborers in these population. Bai Xiaode has been serving as the director of Huangzhuang for the past two years, and all kinds of engineering arrangements are in order. Although Bai Yulian didn't say anything, she didn't smile at Zhu Houzhao for several days, which made him very depressed, Zhu Houwei was used to it for a long time, and he didn't care.

Before leaving, in view of the last recruitment experience, Zhu Houzhao asked Zhu Houwei if he wanted to go to Fushan to recruit people again, and Zhu Houwei patiently replied, "Recruitment is like wool, you can't be so solid and stare at a sheep, otherwise it will be too obvious to make a monk, which will attract the attention of many people, so let's keep a low profile now." There are several thousands of households in Aoshanwei alone, and there are also Da Songwei, Weihaiwei, Chengshanwei, Jinghaiwei, in short, don't say 50,000 this time, if you are ruthless, 150,000 will be recruited. Bai Xiaode asked beside him, "Do you want to recruit the household?" Zhu Houwei thought for a while and said, "Yes, first go to the villages close to the canal to recruit households, and then let them come from the canal, as for those military households, they are basically on the coast, and this time they will also use the Dengzhou Navy Division to transport, this sign is what I asked my father to come, and when you arrive at the Dengzhou Navy Division Camp, just show it." Saying that, Zhu Houwei took out a jade plate from his arms, and Bai Xiaode took it. At this time, a jade plaque, about 7,8 centimeters long and 5 centimeters wide, is made of the upper number of mutton fat white jade, and the jade plaque is really annoying that both sides are engraved with a lifelike five-clawed dragon, and there are four words on the front: "I am here in person". Bai Xiaode said at this time, "I don't think this matter is appropriate, after all, I have no official position, and I am not the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, so it is not appropriate for me to show it." Zhu Houwei said with a smile, "It's okay, along the way, it will be kept by Mr. Bai, isn't there also a deputy commander of Jinyiwei who went with him this time, when you want to show it, you can show it to him." Bai Xiaode nodded, solemnly put it into his arms, and then said with a smile, "Second Highness, you can't leave your martial arts behind, now your progress is not as good as the prince, this martial arts fist, if you don't advance, you will retreat." Zhu Houzhao looked proud and looked at Zhu Houwei with a smile. Zhu Houwei rolled his eyes at this time, and said lazily, "People can't be compared, we don't have a senior sister to open a small stove alone, and this progress will naturally not be fast." Zhu Houzhao and Bai Xiaode were a little embarrassed, and Bai Xiaode gave up his hand and said goodbye. Zhu Houzhao sneered and said, "You have nothing to say about this, what are you doing, so if you want to learn, can Yulian still teach you?" Zhu Houwei pouted, "Yo Yo Yo, it's been good lately, this jade lotus has been shouted, it's enviable, but I've been busy lately, so it's better to let the senior sister teach you a good one, okay, I'll go first." As he spoke, he walked away quickly, leaving Zhu Houzhao standing in place crying and laughing, "This guy." ”
