School? Situ Heng suddenly understood after hearing this.
His Royal Highness is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites is in charge of the school. His Highness's concern for the school is a good thing for the country and the people.
"Your Highness, I understand that these are the original appearance of the school. This handwriting is probably painted by that boy Fang Pu. It looks okay."
"Your Highness, what do you want to do with these schools?"
Long Lin raised his hand and pointed at the blank space.
"Master Situ, I want to build some new houses in these areas. The houses should be small, each room can be rested, and can accommodate a table and a bed. It can be built in double rows in reverse, leaving an aisle in the middle."
Situ Heng thought for a while.
"Your Highness, I have been to this school and know the situation inside."
"There are less than thirty students there. Is it necessary to build a new building?"
Long Lin smiled, it turned out that Situ Heng also knew about this matter.
"Yes, look at this row. It was originally used by the students to rest. I went there and saw them all."
"This place is too big and can accommodate a lot of people. These will also need to be renovated. The two buildings will be connected to form a new school."
"In the future, this place will also be used for teachers to teach, and the newly built huts will be used for students to rest there."
Situ Heng nodded, he understood.
"Your Highness, what about this area? I see that Your Highness has marked it, what is going on here?"
Long Lin smiled, Situ Heng was still very careful.
"Here, we need to build new houses, and they need to be better, just like the previous schools. They may be worse than the schools, but they are better than those resting places."
"You see here, it was newly built in this style. This is an independent courtyard. These houses surround this small courtyard."
"Master Situ, you should be able to understand that these and the school next to it are two areas. In the future, a door will be opened here so that they will not interfere with each other."
Situ Heng nodded.
"Your Highness, I understand. Do the people down here do the same?"
Long Lin nodded and took out the one below.
Situ Heng saw it and understood immediately.
Just looking at the picture, this is obviously different from before.
"Your Highness, how come this newly built courtyard here is completely different from the previous one? Why is this?"
"Because they have different uses, the styles of the houses cannot be the same. Some have larger courtyards, and some have smaller ones."
Situ Heng nodded, indicating that he understood.
Then, he picked up the papers and read them one by one. When he encountered something he didn't understand, he asked Long Lin until the last one.
His mind began to calculate that there were more than 3,000 newly built houses, large and small.
"Your Highness, such a new building will cost a lot of money. There are very few students in the capital. Your Highness, do you think this is necessary?"
"Master Situ, I will consider these things. If I want to build a new house, I still need you to help me build it. Tell me, how much money will it cost to build so many houses?"
Long Lin knew very well that repairs would definitely cost money. Without money, nothing could be done.
Therefore, he had to have a clear amount and then go to his father to get it.
"Your Highness, I thought about it for a while, and based on preliminary considerations, it will cost about 80,000 taels of silver. These are considered to be very simple houses."
Long Lin nodded. From this point of view, one hundred thousand taels would be enough.
"Master Situ, I have obtained the money. You can start building new buildings. Can you build them all in one year?"
One year? Situ Heng’s eyes immediately widened.
"Your Highness, if it takes one year, it will be very rushed. I am afraid that the amount of silver that will be consumed will most likely double."
One hundred and fifty thousand taels? Long Lin was also dumbfounded. Do you want so much?
The entire team's mission probably cost less than 10,000 taels of these items. How could it cost so much to build a house?
"Okay, Lord Situ, I understand. I'm going to find a way to get the money. You have to be prepared to hire new people."
"As soon as we get the money, we will start working immediately and strive to build all these houses within a year."
Situ Heng nodded.
"Your Highness, please rest assured that I will try my best to save as much silver as I can, and I will start ordering people to prepare."
"Okay, Master Situ, I will leave these drawings here for you. You can start preparing. I will go to my father to ask for the money."
Situ Heng showed a wry smile but said nothing.
Long Lin didn't think much, got up and left here.
Arriving deep inside the palace, Long Lin saw Eunuch Xishun again.
"Your Highness, are you here?"
"I want to see my father, please let me know."
"Yes, Your Highness, please wait here."
Xishun turned around and walked into the royal study.
"Xishun, what's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, His Highnesses Six Highnesses are outside the door asking for an audience."
"Long Lin, let him come in."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Xishun turned around and came outside with a smile.
"Your Highness, the Emperor has agreed. Please come in."
Long Lin nodded, held his head high and walked inside.
Entering the house, Long Lin looked at his father in front of him.
After not seeing him for several days, for some reason, he always felt that his father's brows were a little sad. The affairs of the country were complicated, and he must have a lot of troubles.
"Father, I am here to visit my father. How is your health lately? Please pay more attention to rest and take care of your dragon body."
The emperor looked at Long Lin in front of him and showed a wry smile.
This boy is really right. Being an emperor is really easy to exhaust you to death.
"Okay... I also want to be able to rest more, but there are too many affairs in the court, and the people in the world still have to rely on the court, so I have no choice."
"Long Lin, is there something difficult happening in the Ministry of Rites?"
Long Lin smiled brightly, with a passionate expression on his face.
The emperor sat on the chair and looked at Long Lin. When Long Lin came here, there must be something he needed help with.
Looking at Long Lin's weird smile, I'm afraid there's nothing good going on.
"Father, everything is normal in the Rites Department and nothing difficult has happened."
"It's just that my father and I have visited all the schools in the capital in the past few days and feel that these schools need a little repair."
"So I came here specifically to beg my father, hoping that my father can allocate some money so that I can renovate the school."
When the emperor heard this, he immediately became enlightened.
This guy has been thinking about building a school since he took office. Is this because he is short of money?
It shouldn't be. The monthly salary for each prince's residence is enough.
"Oh? When those schools were built, a lot of money was spent. Why do they still need to be renovated? Have the houses in those schools started to leak?"
The emperor asked the doubts in his heart.
Long Lin heard this and replied with a wry smile.
"No, no, father, those schools are in good condition and there are no leaks."
"I'm just a son. I want to build some new buildings in the school."
[Those houses are so solidly built, how could there be problems? The biggest problem is that they are built too little.]
