Yu Ren looked at Li Ying and suddenly smiled, "It's my wife who knows me! I bought this land not to buy a property. But there is a big plan to implement it there."

After saying that, Yu Ren talked about his encounter with Liang Ruji in Beijing, and then discussed with everyone in Liang Ruji and Juhemen, how to rebuild Juhe Village in detail with Li Ying. Then, he also talked about the incident of their encounter with victims in Shandong.

When Li Ying heard this, she shook her head. "If this is the case, we can't buy this land. Don't forget that you do this, after all, it's against the court! If you buy land in your name, if this matter gets a big deal one day, aren't you afraid that the government will come to copy our house?"

Yu Ren was shocked when he heard this. He really didn't expect this. At this time, when Li Ying reminded him, he couldn't help but feel shocked and sweated.

"Ying'er is right. I really don't think about this matter well. So, with Ying'er, what should we do with your opinion?"

"We cannot come forward in this matter, and no one related to our family can come forward. We can only find someone who has nothing to do with our family and buy this land from the Wang family. And you must be extremely careful. In the future, we cannot see what our family has to do with this place."

Yu Ren nodded repeatedly. "Ying'er is still considering it carefully! However, this matter must be handled with a very reliable person. Why don't I go to the Master Liang and the others to discuss it?"

Li Ying shook her head, "I'm afraid this is not good either. They are people who have been in the world for a long time. People with discerning eyes feel that they don't look like businessmen at a glance. They are afraid that when they change their names in the county government, they will cause trouble."

"Why let me go! I used to make a special official certificate to facilitate my work. Our surname Zhao is also a major surname in Hebei, so we should not cause any doubts."

Li Ying looked up and down at Zhao Rui, remembering that when she was in Hangzhou, she saw him dressed as a man, it was really hard to be seen, but she was too handsome. However, this was more in line with her identity as a grand family.

"I'm afraid it's not possible!" Yu Ren hesitated. "You're not well yet!"

"I'm already done. Don't worry. Besides, when I was a money house, I found out the land price and market conditions in Songjiang Mansion very clearly, and no one is more suitable than me."

Li Ying nodded, "I think it's OK. Just let Sister Zhao take action, just pretend to be his Changsu and follow him closely. In this way, you can rest assured."

When Li Ying said this, she looked at him with a meaningful look. The meaning seemed to be saying, "Aren't you just afraid that she will be taken advantage of? Let you follow you, you can feel at ease now!"

Seeing that both wives were so persistent, Yu Ren stopped saying anything. "Okay, that's it. We'll get up early tomorrow morning and go to Wang's house to buy land."

The Wang family is not a big family in Susong, and it is also an outsider. However, due to the efforts of their parents, his family still established a considerable property in Susong’s two mansions. The Wang family started out by selling private salt. After having money, Mr. Wang also wanted to learn from other people’s families, buy a few pieces of land and buy a large property to leave for future generations.

However, although there are many good fields in Susong, they have been almost divided up by big families like the Xu family. Mr. Wang has no tough backing in the official office, so he had no choice but to buy a piece of wasteland by the beach. He originally thought it was quite good. After buying the land, he would collect some refugees who fled from the north and open the land. Wouldn't it be a fertile land?

But what he didn't expect was that when these refugees saw that there was no river here, Mr. Wang was unwilling to invest his capital, and as a result, no one was willing to farm here. This land has been deserted until now. This wasteland has lasted for more than twenty years.

Later, when Mr. Wang died, his son wanted to sell the land, but no one wanted to buy it. The land they bought for 7,000 taels at the time, but now no one wants it for 3,000 taels.

In the end, Zhao Rui and Yu Ren bought the piece of wasteland with an extremely low price of 1,800 taels. In the eyes of the Wang family, there was no value in the wasteland.

Yu Ren bought the land and immediately took people to Chongming Island. He drew fifty brothers from the island to go there first and built some temporary straw sheds there.

As soon as Yu Ren's straw hut was set up, the people from Juhemen arrived here from all directions. Yu Ren took Liang Ruji and others to conduct a thorough survey of the place, and then drew a few more planning maps. Then, everyone started digging river canals according to the location on the planning map.

However, although most of the people in Juhemen responded to Liang Ruji's call to come here to build a new world, because they were originally few and many of them were family members, and only one or two hundred people could work. It was three or four months before spring. If they could not dig the canal well before spring, they would have to delay their livelihood for a year, Yu Ren decided to ask some people to help them dig the canal.

However, because most local farmers have winter crops such as wheat, they are not easy to invite people, and the price is still very high. Yu Ren remembered the victims in Shandong. So he sent people to some disaster-stricken villages in Shandong to invite people.

When the victims saw that Yu Ren offered the conditions not only allowed him to eat enough every day, but also earned another fifty cents, and soon a large number came.

Most of these victims were brought with their families. However, they didn't have to prepare anything for them, so they built a temporary straw shed on the wasteland next to the construction site, and the whole family lived there. Although the conditions seemed to be very difficult, they could earn food for the family every day. These victims felt very happy and worked very hard.

Soon, a ten-mile-long canal was opened. When the disaster victims saw the project was completed, they thought they would go home to live the day of terror. On the day of completion, everyone was particularly depressed. When the disaster victims lined up to collect their wages, Yu Ren suddenly announced a news:

All those who participate in the project can be divided into five acres of wasteland as long as they are willing to stay. They still care about their food until the summer grain harvest is harvested in the coming year. However, these foods are lent to them. In the future, when the family collects more grains, they will have to pay them slowly, but the interest is not recorded.

In the future, if you farm here, you only need to pay 30% of your rent to them every year. This 30% of your rent includes 10% of your taxes paid to the country.

After hearing the news, the five or six hundred Shandong victims who came to dig the river were so excited that they didn't fall asleep all night. As a result, none of them left and all stayed.

During the days when the victims were busy digging rivers and canals, Yu Ren was not idle either. He was busy organizing another school with Liang Ruji and others. They built a school next to a hill that could accommodate 200 children. Yu Ren also built a playground and some simple sports facilities for the school. In his spare time, he compiled a course schedule for the school.

The school he built did not focus on teaching children Confucian classics. The liberal arts only focus on literacy, but the focus was on miscellaneous studies. Medicine, arithmetic, various acrobatics, including carpentry, ironwork, smelting, textiles, etc., and also taught military tactics. In addition, Yu Ren also set up a special scientific experimental course. The textbook was written by him himself. He hoped to teach these children some of the scientific common sense he knew.

Of course, these are just Yu Ren's ideas. Because there are so many subjects, we have to invite professionals from all walks of life to teach. At present, the most lacking is people.

Among all the tasks, Yu Ren felt that writing the teaching book of the science experimental course is the most difficult and most important. However, since he could not find a helper in this regard, the progress has been very slow. Fortunately, these are not needed for the time being, and even if it is edited for three to five years, it will not affect anything.

However, the school was built very quickly. After several blue brick houses were built, Yu Ren decided to let the children come here to try the school first. So he sent someone to inform him that whether it was the children of Juhemen or the children of the later disaster victims, they could be sent here as long as the adults wanted. The age of the children sent to the school was limited to six to fifteen years old.

All children sent to the school will not be charged any fees, and the school will be responsible for three meals a day.

When the victims heard that there were such good things, they were naturally willing to send their children over. As for the gentleman, Yu Ren and Liang Ruji were temporarily used as the ones. These children were almost illiterate. Although Yu Ren had high hopes for them, he had to teach them little by little from the beginning to start teaching them from the most basic literacy.
