More importantly, Zhuang Wu himself is interested in furniture that can be folded and quickly disassembled. Even if he doesn't make money, Zhuang Wu is willing to mess with those items.
"Okay, don't worry, Brother Wen. When the village chief comes this year, you can discuss it carefully." Li Qiao said.
After Zhou Yun became pregnant, Zhuang Wen originally wanted his family to come and take care of Zhou Yun. After Tao Zhu lent Li Yu, Zhuang Wen gave up the idea and decided to let his family join the Li family and follow the Han family caravan slowly. Come to Beijing.
Speaking of which, this year is another year of college entrance exams. It was already three years ago that he was the top pick in high school. Time flies so fast.
Sighing in his heart, he said to Meng Yue: "If your family really doesn't know what business to do, you can buy the land first and then rent it out."
"After the pier is repaired, there will be so many people going north and south every day. If your family rents out the land, they will be able to collect at least a few hundred taels of rent a year."
Although Meng Yue will be the seventh prince's concubine in the future, she is not currently.
And I don’t know when it will be.
Currently, Meng Yue cannot afford to buy a house in Shengjing.
The Meng family farmed in Pingcheng.
He didn't lack that piece of land, so he thought about the Lamon family.
"Forget it, my family is really not good at doing business. Brother Li, I know what you mean. Why don't you just hire my people to work at your house?"
Meng Yue didn't want to take advantage of Li Qiao.
But my family is really suffering right now. They are not willing to rent out the land to collect rent every year, nor are they willing to spend money to hire long-term workers. They still work in the fields every day as before.
He wanted to send some salary back home, so that his family could either hire long-term workers or buy some land to become landlords. However, his eldest brother and sister-in-law had to let him save up to buy a house so that he could marry a wife.
If his family doesn't want his salary, then he should find a job for them first.
Going to work in the Li family is a dream for many people.
As for the future, we will talk about it later.
"Come to my house to work?"
Li Qiao was surprised: "How bad is this? You are now a seventh-grade imperial official, and your family members come to work in my house. This is outrageous."
Which seventh-grade official's family members went out to work for others?
"What does a seventh-rank official mean? You are already a third-rank official. Aren't your eldest brother and sister-in-law also farming? Our family doesn't care about those false reputations."
Meng Yue waved her hands, looking unconcerned. He grabbed the fried chicken legs that Li Xiaorui loved and ate them deliciously.
Although it won’t fill your stomach, it’s delicious!
When Zhuang Wen saw this, he laughed and said: "Yes, it's all in vain. People from my family also work in the Li family. Brother, don't you want your family to come over? Your family will come over and the Meng family will take over. How nice is that?" .”
"It's really good."
Xu Ying also nodded.
There is no seventh-grade official whose family members farm every day. Since the Meng family can work around the clock without paying attention to others, then there is nothing wrong with working in the Li family.
"...Brother Meng, you should think about it again anyway."
Li Qiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Sure, I'll go back and discuss it with my elder brother and sister-in-law."
Meng Yue didn't say anything.
Anyway, he is willing.
It would be great if it could improve the current situation where my family is suffering.
Meng Yue, Xu Ying, and Zhuang Wen ate the fragrant and flavorful mutton soup noodles, and sat for a while. The four of them discussed their future attitude towards the third prince, and then the three of them went home.
Just as Li Qiao had guessed, the seventh prince's suggestion was respectful and delayed. He didn't reject it outright, but he didn't agree to anything either.
In the next few days, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu looked around the house and chose a store location.
Before the Lantern Festival, they first finalized a branch of the hot pot shop and a spicy hotpot restaurant. As for the residence, they haven't seen any qualified ones yet.
After the bustling Lantern Festival, Tao Zhu prepares for the opening of a new shop, and Li Qiao starts working.
On the first day of work, Sheng Hong had to hold a court meeting.
The process of the Dajiao meeting is very simple.
Summing up the past and looking forward to this year, all the ministers will come to the court if they have something to do but will not leave the country.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Wang Yuncheng, the minister of official affairs, walked out of the queue and spoke respectfully.
"explain."
Sheng Hong glanced at him.
Li Qiao was not far from Wang Yuncheng and also looked at Mr. Wang.
His eyes were calm, but in his heart he couldn't help shouting, "Come on, come on, the third prince's drama is about to begin."
This Lord Wang's daughter is married to Peng Zhiye, the third prince's cousin.
Mr. Wang must be speaking out for the Third Prince!
As expected, Wang Yuncheng opened his mouth and said directly: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, the deputy leader of the country, and the foundation of the country. If the Crown Prince is not established, the world will be unstable..."
He quoted the words of his predecessor Jia Yi, such as "the destiny of the world, the county is the prince", etc. to emphasize the importance of establishing a prince.
He did not dare to say directly that Your Majesty was seriously ill and almost lost his hair. He only said that establishing the crown prince was in compliance with the destiny and to establish the orthodoxy of the dynasty. Besides, the princes are not too young. He spoke eloquently for a while, and then ended: "Your Majesty, the country cannot be without a king for a day, nor can it be without a prince for a day. If the prince is established, the world will be at peace. I believe that the matter of establishing a prince cannot be postponed any longer."
Li Qiao: "..."
Brave.
He originally thought that the third prince's people would lose money in large numbers in the future, forcing Sheng Hong to no longer remain silent on this matter.
But he never expected that the third prince's people would directly mention this matter in public at the court meeting.
So brave.
Li Qiao lowered his eyes, waiting for Sheng Hong's reaction.
All civil and military officials in the court held their breath, waiting for Sheng Hong to speak.
People who did not belong to the Third Prince's lineage were astonished by the Third Prince's bravery, just like Li Qiao.
Shouldn't this be done slowly?
You just can't wait?
Sheng Hong was sitting on the dragon chair. His eyes swept over the faces of the officials in the front row one by one, paused for a moment on the third prince, and then said with a smile: "Wang Aiqing, you are right. In this case, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty can Please give me a tip and recommend the person you think can take up the position of Crown Prince."
"Everyone can give in, and I want to hear your opinions."
Li Qiao: "..."
The third prince: "!"
ecstasy!

The author has something to say:
Chapter 168 The Third Prince Serves as the Examiner of the General Examination Li Qiao Marks the Examination
The next day, Li Qiao entered the palace early in the morning and went to Guang'an Hall to sort out the pieces.
Although he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked that today's discounts were twice as many as usual.
Good guy, everyone really expressed their opinions, right?
Pressing surprise, he began to work.
After a while, Zhou Zhengye and several other bachelors arrived.
These bachelors had been officials for many years and were all popular people around Sheng Hong. When they arrived, they sorted through the papers and asked each other who they had recommended.
As long as it is not a secret, all the information is open to the seven of them, so there is no need to hide it.
Zhou Zhengye said directly: "I didn't hand over the certificate. The Holy Master is young and powerful. It is too early to establish a prince at this time."
Yan Anbang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "That's right. Your Majesty is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period. It's a little early to talk about the position of prince at this time. I didn't give any information to your Majesty."
"What a coincidence, I didn't hand it over either." Wang Dewei, the Minister of Punishment, said with a smile.
"You didn't hand it over, and I didn't hand it over either." Cao Taizhuo, the Minister of Household Affairs and Li Qiao's immediate boss, also laughed.
"No one handed it over? If you don't hand it over, then I won't hand it over either."
Lu Liangmao, the official secretary, raised his eyebrows and said.
As soon as he said this, the remaining six bachelors looked at him: "Master Lu, you didn't recommend it to the Holy Emperor?"
"Like everyone else, I feel that it is too early to establish a crown prince at this time."
Old God Lu Liangmao said.
Although he was the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and had many contacts with the Third Prince, there was no law that stipulated that he must recommend him to the Holy Emperor.
He smiled and looked at Li Qiao, who was sitting at the end of the table working silently: "Master Xiao Li, what about you?"
This sound attracted the attention of several other bachelors: "That's right, Mr. Xiao Li, you are now the most proud person in front of His Majesty. Do you have a favorite candidate in your mind?"
"...My lords, the lower official thinks that the Holy One will live a hundred years, as long as Nanshan Mountain. Therefore, the lower official did not give any information to the Holy One."
Li Qiao looked serious.
"Then this is such a coincidence. It seems that all the civil and military officials in the dynasty who have not handed over information to the Holy One are concentrated in our room."
Yan Anbang shook the book in his hand as he spoke: "Continue working, don't make your Majesty wait in a hurry."
With Sheng Hong's temperament, he definitely wants to see today's discount as soon as possible.
The remaining adults thought about Sheng Hong's temperament and felt sad, so they speeded up their movements in unison.
The Holy Father cannot be kept waiting.
