By the time Huang Zhang returned to Linjiang Town with his daughter on his back, it was already midnight.

However, in the mayor's mansion of Linjiang Town, a group of people were still burning the midnight oil to talk.

Huang Zhang saw that everyone's attention was not on him, so he quietly carried Su Nu back to the room.

After he had settled his daughter, he came to the hall.

In the hall, Hu Yi'er was explaining Huang Zhang's plan to Bu Yi, Fan Li, Tian Zhu and others.

On the way to Linjiang Town, Huang Zhang told her how he planned to build Linjiang Town.

In fact, the central idea Huang Zhang has told them before is that as the saying goes, if you want to get rich, build roads first! Road building is the primary prerequisite for the current development of Linjiang Town.

But now that Tianfu County has fallen into the hands of the barbarians, the land route is temporarily unfeasible. If the land route is not feasible, the only way is to take the water route!

There is a big river next to Linjiang Town, but due to the xenophobia of Linjiang Town residents in recent years, it has never had the opportunity to develop into a port.

The first step Huang Zhang had to take was to build a large port that could accommodate a huge number of ships.

There is no shortage of good ferries in Linjiang Town. As long as these ferries can be utilized, Linjiang Town will be able to develop through waterways.

Wuyidu, not far from Linjiang Town, is a natural port. Huang Zhang plans to develop Wuyidu and turn it into Wuyi Port!

This is the central idea conveyed by Huang Zhang to Hu Yier: build the port first!

With a port, a large number of fleets and merchants followed.

At present, most of the houses in Linjiang Town are low and dilapidated private houses, and there is not even an inn to accommodate businessmen!

But there is no need to worry about this. The first item of the deal between Huang Zhang and Fan Li is to lease the best location in Linjiang Town to the Jixiang Chamber of Commerce. At this stage, with the participation of the Jixiang Chamber of Commerce, this problem can be solved.

What Hu Yier explained to everyone was the arrangement of the road from the soon-to-be-built Wuyi Port to the center of Linjiang Town.

In Huang Zhang's plan, the current Linjiang Town will be the center of Linjiang City in the future, that is, the core area!

Then he will shift all economic focus to Wuyi Port. As for Linjiang Town, he has planned several areas, all of which are indispensable for big cities.

Everyone listened carefully to Hu Yi'er's arrangements. Only Fan Li was the first to see Huang Zhang's figure and immediately shouted: "Your Highness is here!"

As soon as they saw Huang Zhang coming, everyone stopped immediately.

Hu Yi'er came over and asked: "Sir, have you found Miss Li'er?"

"Well, she's already asleep!"

Seeing that Su Nu was fine, Hu Yier felt relieved.

I don’t know why, but she used to be a little unhappy when she saw her aunt following Huang Zhang’s butt every day, but when she saw her aunt being wronged by Huang Zhang, she felt uneasy!

"How was your chat? Field workers, do you have any questions?" Huang Zhang asked, looking at everyone.

Seeing Huang Zhang asking himself alone, Tian Zhu immediately replied: "Miss Hu Yi'er has explained all the arrangements for His Highness just now. I will go to Wuyidu tomorrow to check the situation and try to rush to work and make the drawings as soon as possible!"

Huang Zhang nodded, "I'll go around tomorrow and take a look at the surrounding terrain! Fan Li, when can your Jixiang Chamber of Commerce come?"

Hearing Huang Zhang ask himself, Fan Li immediately replied: "I have already sent a letter to the Chamber of Commerce. As soon as the port here is repaired, the personnel of my Chamber of Commerce will be in place immediately!"

"Well! During this time, you can recruit people and prepare to build houses on the site I planned for you!"

Seeing that Huang Zhang finally agreed, Fan Li's face showed an expression of joy.

After coming here for so long, he has long wanted to start construction, but his daughter has been holding him back. Huang Zhang's words are the best, and he will start construction as soon as he comes!

"Bu Ju, I have to work hard for you tomorrow to gather all the people around you. Now there is a lot of waste and we urgently need their help!"

Bu Yi, who was standing silently aside, saw Huang Zhang suddenly come to him. He was a little at a loss for a moment and just nodded dully.

"Young master, don't worry... people... I can organize it!"

Seeing that Bu Rui was a little distracted, Huang Zhang was puzzled, but he still told her a little more to prevent her from not understanding!

"After organizing the people, the strong laborers are gathered together. We are going to carry out large-scale construction projects, and their strength is indispensable. As for the women, they can help with the construction and logistics. The old and the young will gather together and find some teachers.

Sir, let us fund it and let those gentlemen teach all the children in a unified way! After finishing the lessons, you can let those old people take care of the children, and it will be regarded as mutual aid!"

Everyone else could understand it, but what Huang Zhang said about children studying at the end was a bit incomprehensible to him.

"There are indeed some private school teachers among the common people, but Master, did you just say that all children should be sent to study? Do girls also need to be sent?"

Huang Zhang nodded, "Yes, all children under the age of fifteen, regardless of gender, are compulsory to attend school! If you are over fifteen years old, it depends on your personal wishes. You are allowed to go to school if you want!"

Huang Zhang said this after careful consideration. A fifteen-year-old child is already half a labor force in a farmer's family and needs to help his parents work in the fields. Many of them have even accepted their fate and feel that they will be farming all their lives.

Life.

For this kind of people, Huang Zhang does not force them to farm the land as they should, and there is no need to enforce education on them.

But it's different under the age of fifteen. Children of this age usually help their parents with some housework at home and play. When they reach the age of fifteen, girls are ready to get married and boys are ready to help at home.

Farming.

Huang Zhang can definitely develop these children. Even if ten out of a thousand people are good at studying, it will be considered a profit for him!

In the past, Huang Zhang only had a small Tianjiapu, with less than 10,000 people under his jurisdiction. At that time, he wanted to engage in education, but before he could do it, he was delayed by a lot of troubles.

Now that he finally has the opportunity, he must implement education!

In this world, talented people have always been in the hands of big families, and major families have a monopoly on the cultivation of talents.

Take Wucheng as an example. Li Shiming has already introduced him. Even though Jia Guan, Hu Cao and others have great power in Wucheng, they still have to give face to the Wang family, the largest gentry in Wucheng, because the Wang family is the leader of Wucheng.

The city offers talent large and small!

This is the scariest thing about aristocratic families! The monopoly of talents.

This is true for a city far away from the political center of Su State, let alone the capital of Su State!

But Huang Zhang's looting of Tianjia Fort completely angered the people of this group of aristocratic families. Basically all the aristocratic families were from landlords. Huang Zhang's looting of Tianjia Fort and Fengjia Fort was tantamount to a slap in the face of the nobles.

How difficult it is to recruit talents among the gentry!

Just look at Huang Zhang's current team and you will know that there are only a few who have come and gone, and there is not even a single talent from the landlord class!

It’s not that people are looking down on him, Huang Zhang still has the status of a eldest prince! Ever since the war with the barbarians, his identity as the eldest prince has been spread out!

But until now, no one from the gentry has come to vote! This is because not only his identity as the eldest prince has spread, but also the news that he occupied Tianjiabao and Fengjiabao!

Don't wonder how these nobles know this, there is no airtight wall in the world!

In order to break this talent monopoly, Huang Zhang must cultivate talents himself! Even if this requires a high price!
