"Hello, boss ~!"
"Good, good, good ~! How are you guys ~? Is there any difficulty in harvesting the food at home ~? "
"Hai ~! No difficulty ~! No difficulty ~! I asked my wife to ask the three uncles to help us harvest the food, so there's no problem ~! On the other hand, it's us who have taken too much money from you, boss. We feel a little ashamed ~! "
"Haha ~! What's there to be ashamed of ~! This is all earned through your own sweat and hard work. Just take it with a peace of mind ~! Don't tire yourself out too much. It's not worth it if you get a heatstroke ~! "
"Hey ~! Don't worry, boss. We're not that delicate. Besides, Commander Yan doesn't let us work in the afternoon. We won't get a heatstroke even if we want to ~! "
After teasing Meng Wenhao in the house, Yan Shaoning brought Li Zexuan to inspect the construction site. Li Zexuan looked at the tall buildings that rose from the ground and casually chatted with some of the workers by the roadside.
Although it was called chatting, it wasn't really chatting. There was a lot of evidence that proved that a leader's occasional concern for his subordinates was very useful in improving the overall work efficiency. This couldn't be called showing off, but encouraging.
Ever since Li Zexuan had brought the first crane to Yunshan, more and more people had discovered the huge advantage that machines had over humans. In response to Yan Shaoning's strong request, the workshop had sent more than 20 cranes one after another. This was a sharp weapon that was ahead of the times. In addition to the large number of workers, it directly led to the construction speed of the Academy to be greatly improved once again. Now, the situation on Yunshan was really changing day by day.
"Xiao Xuan ~! A few old masters and I estimated that the main building of Yanhuang College — the bishop, canteen, dormitory, bathhouse, and library — will be completed by the end of this month ~! "
Walking on the hard and flat cement road, Yan Shaoning felt quite emotional. He had never seen such a cement road and such high-rise buildings before, but now he had built them, which filled him with a sense of achievement. Perhaps with this academy, he could be ranked as a top master architect like his father. At this time, the two of them arrived at the back of the college. Yan Shaoning said to Li Zexuan.
Li Zexuan heard it and said in surprise, "So fast ~?"
Yan Shaoning laughed and said, "Heh ~! It's not that fast ~! Little Xuan, on your way here, you should be able to see that many of the buildings are about to be completed. In the future, I plan to divide these 10,000 people into three groups. One group will do the interior decoration of these buildings, another group will build other buildings, and the other group will follow your previous plan to create scenery for the academy. They will transplant trees and flowers, build fake mountains, dig lakes, and also build that sports field you want to build! "
Li Zexuan thought for a while and agreed, "Yeah! We'll do as you say ~! After the main building of the academy is completed, don't be in a hurry to dismiss the craftsmen and commoners. The later construction of the academy has been completed, and I don't lack money now! Also, in addition to the buildings that I have planned earlier, I need you to send a group of people out to help me build some independent buildings behind the academy. I will give you the blueprints later! "
Yan Shaoning asked curiously, "What do you want these small buildings for ~?"
Li Zexuan laughed and said, "Shaoning, didn't you read the newspaper earlier ~? The academy will assign some professors to their own houses. Although the academy doesn't have any professors now, I have to prepare these houses in advance. You can't go back on your words ~! The environment here in Yunshan is beautiful, and I believe many people will be willing to live here ~! Later, I will find a good location here and build a house for myself ~! "
Yan Shaoning was speechless and said, "I think you have too much money and nowhere to spend it. If you build a house here, how many days can you stay in a year ~?"
Li Zexuan didn't think much of it and said, "That's hard to say ~! Who knows, maybe I will always live here ~! Hey, Shaoning, don't you want to consider building one too ~? The house I want to build is different from the one we are living in now. You will definitely be jealous when you see it ~! "
Yan Shaoning was actually a little tempted. He thought for a while and said, "Cough cough ~! Little Xuan, look at how hard I have worked for the academy these two months. Aren't you going to give me a house for free ~? "
Li Zexuan sneered and said, "Cheh ~! In your dreams ~! At most, I will give you a 20% discount based on the cost of the house. The rest will be from me ~! "
Yan Shaoning said angrily, "F * ck ~! You are too much, aren't you ~? If you are like this, I will quit. You can go find whoever you want ~! "
"Hey hey hey ~! Don't ~! Let's talk about it. How about I give you a 40% discount ~? "
"Not good ~!"
"50% ~? How about 50% ~? "
"Hehe ~! Then I will go back and pack my luggage ~! "
"Hey hey ~! Don't, don't, don't ~! Consider it my bad luck to have such a bad friend. I will give it to you for free ~! "
… … …
After some bickering, Yan Shaoning emerged victorious and obtained a Cloud Mountain Villa that had yet to be built for free. Although Li Zexuan looked angry on the surface, he wasn't angry at all in his heart. Firstly, he didn't really care about this little bit of money. Secondly, Yan Shaoning had a share in the first batch of Cloud Mountain Villas. What he said just now was just a joke.
"Shaoning, how do you think the academy will solve the water problem in the future ~?"
Li Zexuan came to Yunshan today not only to inspect the progress of the academy's construction, but also to solve the academy's water problem. However, after walking around Yunshan for so long and even walking around the forest behind the academy, he still did not see a waterfall or a river. This made him a little disappointed, so he asked.
Yan Shaoning was happy that he finally got some benefits from the "miser" Li Zexuan. When he heard this question, he could not help but be stunned and answered subconsciously,
"What's so difficult about that ~? There are so many wells in Plum Village and the Han Family Village at the foot of the mountain. Also, there is the Ba River beside Plum Village. Is there a lack of water ~? We just have to find some people to carry water up every day ~! "
Li Zexuan shook his head and said, "This is not a long-term solution. The scale of the academy will definitely get bigger and bigger, and there will be more and more students. When that time comes, how can the academy's daily water consumption be met by just carrying water up the mountain ~?"
Yan Shaoning was helpless and said, "Then what do you think ~?"
Li Zexuan thought for a while and asked, "Shaoning, do you think we can use a waterwheel to carry water up the mountain ~?"
Things like water wheels didn't require a lot of technology. Tubular water wheels had already appeared in the Sui Dynasty. Many protagonists in time-travel novels who went to ancient times relied on water wheels to become famous. This was more or less inappropriate.
Li Zexuan still had some knowledge of this common knowledge, so he asked directly.
