He wanted to obtain various information from various places in Dasheng, and memorials were the fastest and most stable channel. By relying on these memorials, he could learn about world affairs and all kinds of new things.
It's so boring to stay in the palace all day, facing either eunuchs, maids or the harem every day.
Books weren't very interesting either. Those books had been around for a long time, and even books like geography and travel notes didn't interest him much.
Only these memorials, coming from all directions, were not only numerous, but also fresh, making him full of expectations every day.
Of course, he is not looking forward to those natural disasters, man-made disasters and the like at all.
However, in the past, he only relied on himself to review memorials, and his limited energy and physical strength restricted his performance.
But now with Li Aiqing, he can not only read more memorials every day, but also say whatever he wants.
How wonderful!
Because I read a lot of memorials and didn’t need to write anything every day, my instinct that had been suppressed for a year was finally released.
That afternoon, after reading a memorial, his anger was aroused and he immediately wrote a thousand-word article.
Ever since he fell ill last year, he had followed the doctor's advice to take good care of himself, not only to be less angry but also to work less.
But every time he wrote this kind of article, his emotions were extremely full, and nine and a half out of ten articles were mixed with anger.
In order to avoid being angry and hurting his health, he stopped writing articles last year.
But what this memorial tells is so abominable.
It says that a county magistrate in a certain place wanted to imitate Li Qiao and lead the whole county by himself, so as to obtain beautiful political achievements, so he forced the scholars in the county to give him ideas, and secretly said that if his ideas were adopted, then the county would be in trouble in the future. He can unspoken rules during the trial.
How can people not be angry about something like this?
If we look at the performance of the fifth prince during last year's flood, his anger reached its peak in minutes.
hateful.
If it causes public dissatisfaction for the sake of achieving political achievements, what is the use of such achievements?
This bad culture must be punished!
As soon as Sheng Hong's essay came out, the confinement of the fifth prince, who originally only had one day left to be released, was extended for another period of time.
Sheng Hong settled the accounts for him at that time and imprisoned him for ten more days.
As soon as this punishment came out, the third prince immediately trembled. There was no way he could settle old scores like this.
But in order to prevent Sheng Hong from being blamed by him, he immediately stopped entertaining officials every day.
Forget it, don't be too showy, let's wait until this period of time has passed.
So, by the time the fifth prince's confinement ended, it was already February when the grass was growing and the orioles were flying.
The gambling shop branch of the Supreme Emperor and the First Prince has been opened.
The fifth prince had been in confinement for such a long time. After he came out, his attitude towards Li Qiao changed drastically. He actually went to the house with the British Duke to apologize to Li Qiao and Xu Ying.
This shocked Li Qiao and Xu Ying.
What's going on?
The fifth prince and the British prince wanted to crush them to ashes, but now they came to apologize?
horrible!
But both the Fifth Prince and the British Duke came to apologize in person, and Li Qiao and Xu Ying naturally had to smile. They could not refuse to shake hands with the Fifth Prince and make peace.
The two of them could only follow the attitude of the fifth prince.
When the fifth prince and the British prince behaved like this, they shocked the government and the public.
Wow, the fifth prince is... scared?
But Sheng Hong was greatly comforted. Yes, it seemed that Ang'er had really thought about his mistakes a lot while he was behind closed doors, and knowing his mistakes would greatly improve things.
As long as he can repent, he is still his good child.
To be honest, he valued each of these biological sons very much. Although he sometimes used them as tools, from the bottom of his heart, he hoped that these sons would do well.
At the beginning, he did not follow his father's advice and only singled out one son to focus on training, in order to ensure that each of these sons could become talented, and then together they could continue the prosperity of Dasheng.
Now it seems that his wish should come true?
Chapter 147 The British Duke is finished and his title is deprived of his title. The crimes committed by the British Duke
The days are slipping away day by day, and after spring comes, the weather is getting warmer and warmer. The ducks that Li Qiao asked Han Ning to raise last winter have finally grown up and can be used to make duck products.
These ducks have a short growth time and weigh only one or two kilograms, so they can barely be used as duck products.
Although the British Duke came to apologize in person before, the duck shop in the British Duke's mansion was not closed and was still selling duck goods.
If the British government does not close down, Li Qiao will naturally not retreat. He is still buying ducks at a high price.
If someone is willing to sell it to him, he will use it to make duck goods.
No one sold to him, so the duck shop continued to make hot pot.
He couldn't swallow this breath anyway.
But the hot pot business was very good, so he bought another shop dedicated to making duck products.
Anyway, the reputation of duck goods has already been established, so he did not choose the location of the new shop, only the size.
Spending 10,000 taels of silver, he bought a large house on a small street three alleys behind the duck shop.
This house was originally a warehouse used by a merchant to store goods, so it was very large.
Its floor space was comparable to his current four-bedroom house. He simply renovated it and held a banquet here for the two little boys' first birthday party. Then the duck shop reopened. The original The duck shop was changed to Li's hotpot shop.
The duck shop has reopened, which makes the diners extremely happy.
Although the duck products from the British government are edible, they always taste wrong. Now that the duck products from the Li family have finally begun to be sold on a large scale, I must buy them, buy them hard, buy them every day, and have a good time.
The business of the Li Family Duck Shop was good, but the business of the British Government Duck Shop, which was originally not very good, suddenly became bleak.
But Li Qiao felt that this had nothing to do with him, he was just doing business normally.
In the fourth month of the lunar calendar, when potatoes are ripe, Sheng Hong opened five potato noodle restaurants in Shengjing.
All the potatoes grown in Li Qiao's fields were sold to Sheng Hong.
Potatoes are also considered a high-yielding crop. Even if there are no pesticides and fertilizers here, the yield per acre of land is slightly less than that of sweet potatoes, reaching up to 1,000 kilograms.
Half of the more than 80 acres of Li Qiao's fields seventy miles away from Shengjing were planted with winter wheat and half with potatoes. Now that the potatoes have been harvested, they can be used to grow watermelons and sweet potatoes.
However, Seventy Land is still too far away. If you stroll there slowly in an ox cart, you can only go and take a look, and spend the rest of the time on the road.
Therefore, Tao Zhu has never been to his family's farmland in Shengjing.
And Li Qiao, in order to shorten the traveling time, learned to ride a horse.
He is now a fifth-rank official, but he can go to court in a carriage. He had never bought a horse before because his family had an ox cart.
But now my farm is too far away. If I want to rush back in one day and stay in the farm for a longer time, I can only ride a horse.
After buying the horse, Li Qiao went to work in a carriage.
Now he has indeed become a close minister of the emperor. Sheng Hong will summon him to the palace every day and ask him to write for him.
Although he wrote more words, his calligraphy did not improve by leaps and bounds, but no matter how many words he wrote every day, he could ensure that the words on the memorial were correct and correct.
Sheng Hong was very satisfied with this.
What a great ghostwriter, it seems like I won’t get tired, young people are in good health.
He has never been a mean and ungrateful person, but now he is trying to use Li Qiao, so naturally he must be given some grace.
When the two cubs were one year old, he specially asked Qian San to make a trip and rewarded them with some fabrics, two wishful and long-lived locks, and a small village.
He also knew that Li Qiao wanted to buy a field but never did. In that case, he would give Li Qiao a farm, since he had a lot of land anyway.
Who is the biggest landowner in Dasheng?
Of course it was him.
Li Aiqing took his Zhuangzi and had to be more careful when writing.
Li Qiao has short hands, so he naturally takes this ghostwriting seriously.
In fact, there are advantages to being a contemporary pen. You can stay in the palace all day, and the food and drink are provided by the imperial kitchen. The treatment is much better than that of the Hanlin Academy.
Moreover, he learned a lot from the memorial and quickly became familiar with the entire Dasheng officials.
Many officials from other places like to give Sheng Hong a message to make his presence felt in front of him. Some simple greetings to him are written in a bunch of flowers but nothing.
Sheng Hong was very annoyed by this kind of explanation, and his reply was only a few words each time.
But there are also some clever ones, such as explaining the prefect.
After working as a ghostwriter for Sheng Hong for three months, he saw three envelopes from the magistrate Ming.
Ming Zhifu writes greetings as a work report, and every time he writes in detail the latest situation and the latest major events in Hexi Prefecture.
For example, he started planting sweet potatoes recently, and he clearly wrote down the number of acres of sweet potatoes in the whole house.
Last year's sweet potato harvest failed because of a drought, so he stated in the booklet the focus of his work next month: digging wells and ditches.
Sheng Hong likes this kind of excerpt very much. He reads it carefully every time and replies seriously.
Before seeing the memorial from Ming Zhifu, he never knew that the memorial from Ming Zhifu was of this type.
I have to say that Magistrate Ming knew how to poke into Sheng Hong's heart.
However, Ming Zhifu has been in Hexi Prefecture for many years, and Sheng Hong has never let him move. But with the achievements of Hexi Prefecture, once Sheng Hong lets him move, the promotion speed will not be worse than that of Jiang Zhixian.
On this day, Li Qiao took a break from bathing. It happened to have a precious light rain last night, so the air today was fresh and neither cold nor hot, making it suitable for traveling.
Li Qiao and Tao Zhu took their two little ones, Li Xiaorui, and Li Xia Zheng Qianqian to their home in Xinzhuangzi.
Sheng Hong suddenly rewarded Zhuangzi, which surprised both Li Qiao and Tao Zhu.
Moreover, this Zhuangzi is only thirty miles away from Shengjing. In the northeast, there are a full forty acres of first-class farmland.
In Shengjing, the market price of first-class fields is as high as three hundred taels, and it is not on the market yet, so you can't buy it even if you want to.
