"No matter which prince comes to see me, I will try my best to make suggestions. Is this feasible?"
Li Qiao's face showed an uneasy look, and he looked at the Seventh Prince without blinking.
The Seventh Prince was surprised: "You actually want to take the initiative to get involved?"
"It's not just idle time, but it's also profitable."
Speaking of the word "profit", Li Qiao's face showed embarrassment at the right moment.
Seventh Prince: "..."
He was even more surprised now.
He never expected that he would hear the words "profitable" from Li Qiao's mouth.
Li Qiao acted like a saint before, with the four words "generous and selfless" engraved on his body. Now when he heard the four words "profitable" from Li Qiao's mouth, he was really shocked.
But he quickly nodded: "Okay."
As far as he knew, his sixth brother was currently at a loss.
His sixth brother hesitated for half a month, and finally followed his father's suggestion and moved to a different dock.
That dock was also in Ontario, and his sixth brother was in a similar situation to him.
Just as his sixth brother said, even if Li Qiao received the imperial edict of appreciation, the performance of the princes would still be in the eyes of his father and officials.
But in the current situation, since he couldn't beat his sixth brother, he hoped that they would tie on this question.
After a tie, the people will benefit and it will not affect the selection of heirs.
Therefore, he supported Li Qiao's involvement.
However, this required his sixth brother and fourth brother to nod. He had no say in this matter, so he said to Li Qiao: "I will go to the palace tomorrow to find my father."
"Then I'm waiting for your good news."
When Li Qiao heard this, his heart dropped into his stomach.
After the business was done, Li Qiao didn't stay much longer. He and Tao Zhu stood up to leave.
The seventh prince sent the couple to the door of the mansion.
However, as soon as the door of the Seventh Prince's Mansion opened, the three of them saw a familiar carriage.
Before the carriage could stand still, the carriage door was pushed open.
Immediately afterwards, the figure of the sixth prince appeared on the carriage shaft. When he saw the three princes Li Qiao, Tao Zhu and the seventh prince standing at the door of the mansion, he immediately smiled and jumped off the carriage and said, "I came just in time."
"Sixth brother, do you have something important to come here at this time?" The seventh prince took two steps forward and asked.
It's already dark, and it's dinner time.
"I heard from the people below that Mr. Li is here to give you a New Year's gift. I was afraid that Mr. Li would give you some tricks, so I left a room full of darling wives and concubines and came to arrest me personally in the cold wind. People."
The Sixth Prince replied with a smile.
Li Qiao: "..."
Ever since Sheng Hong asked the second question, he had not had time to come to the Seventh Prince's Mansion due to various complicated matters.
For a rare occasion, the Sixth Prince came directly to arrest someone.
The seventh prince was also quite speechless: "Sixth brother, you are judging a gentleman with a villain's heart. I promised you that I will not ask Mr. Li for help."
"It's about the throne. How can a word of assurance really reassure me? Who doesn't know that you have a good relationship with Mr. Li? Mr. Li definitely hopes that you will get the second imperial edict of appreciation."
The Sixth Prince was honest. After speaking, he looked at Li Qiao: "Master Li, do you think so?"
Li Qiao led Tao Zhu to the Sixth Prince with a serious look on his face. He bowed first, then shook his head and said, "The Seventh Prince will act as a guarantee in front of the Holy Majesty, and the lower officials will not dare to deceive the King."
"However, the official did bring up the second question with the Seventh Prince. Sixth Prince, has there been any progress in your Xiaocheng Pier recently?"
The dock where the Sixth Prince transferred to Eian Province was located in Xiaocheng, and Xiaocheng was the capital city of Xiaozhou Prefecture.
Therefore, the sixth prince has to boost the economy of the entire Xiaozhou Prefecture, which is more difficult than the seventh prince.
"If there is really substantial progress, I won't be watching you so closely. Like my seventh brother, I'm going to build the road first."
The sixth prince was inevitably depressed when he mentioned this matter.
He always felt that he was very talented and could suppress all the princes. Even if he couldn't suppress them, he could still be better than a few brothers. In addition, he still had a trade route out of Dasheng in his hand, so he was originally quite confident about the second question.
Although this question is difficult, as long as Li Qiao doesn't interfere, with his ability and knowledge, he will definitely be able to beat several brothers.
But in fact, this question was much more difficult than he expected.
The Xu family's trade route to the surrounding small countries was not of much help. All he could think of now was that the Xu family would bring some fresh items that were not available in Xiaozhou Prefecture and open a store in Xiaocheng to make money.
But how can this method improve the economy of the entire Xiaozhou Prefecture?
What his father meant by boosting the economy was that the people would become richer and taxes would increase. Even if his Xu family opened more shops in Xiaozhou City, the money would not reach the hands of the people.
Because of this incident recently, he was not in a good mood during the New Year. He just heard that Li Qiao was coming to give the seventh prince a New Year gift, so he came over immediately.
He knew that if Li Qiao wanted to give the seventh prince any clever tricks, he would have many ways to avoid his ears and eyes, but he just wanted to find out.
well!
Although the process of opening a new trade route to sell goods is difficult, in the end it is just a conventional method.
Li Qiao came out of nothing and brought up the economy of a government in just a few years and made every hard-working household rich. This is really awesome.
This is worthy of admiration.
He hadn't thought about this problem in detail before, but now he was facing the same problem but was helpless. Only then did he understand how powerful their Mr. Li was.
What's more, this Mr. Li not only made the entire Hexi Prefecture rich, he also made plaster!
I can’t accept it!
However, now Mr. Li frankly admitted that he discussed the second topic with his seventh brother?
After feeling depressed, he couldn't help but ask: "Master Li, what did you and your seventh brother say?"
"You said that day that if your subordinates have ingenious ideas and tricks, feel free to bring them up. It is for the sake of the people and the iron book of the alchemy anyway. Do you take this seriously?"
Li Qiao did not answer, but asked the sixth prince's exact words at that time.
The Sixth Prince was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "So now you have some ingenuity and clever tricks?"
Isn't it?
Isn't this Mr. Li a bit too powerful?
He has made no progress at all now. Li Qiao, who has no time to pay attention to this matter and has been constantly being manipulated by his father, has an idea?
"No, no, no, I don't know much about these places yet, and I don't have any good ideas at the moment. However, I am really interested in the Alchemy Book Iron Coupon. If you and the remaining princes don't mind, I will learn more about this in the future." A few places to see if I can give you any useful suggestions.”
"That's it..."
The Sixth Prince suddenly understood.
He just said that Li Qiao had no time to pay attention to these docks before, so how could he come up with a brilliant idea out of thin air.
However, using the light of the lantern at the entrance of the Seventh Prince's Mansion, he looked Li Qiao up and down twice, and then squinted at the Seventh Prince.
"Master Li, since you said this, you can't just favor the seventh brother and the eldest brother from now on. If you give the seventh brother a clever trick, you must also give me the same clever trick."
If he really couldn't win this question, then at least he couldn't lose to his seventh brother and his eldest brother on the street in front.
At the very least, it must be a tie, so that this question is invalid, so that this question cannot affect his situation of leading the game.
"I'll do my best," Li Qiao said respectfully.
"No, no, no, it can't be your best effort. You have to answer 'yes', then I dare to let you get involved."
The sixth prince was still squinting at the seventh prince.
The Seventh Prince was speechless and said directly: "I answer yes on behalf of Mr. Li, Sixth Brother, you should feel relieved now, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the Sixth Prince immediately smiled: "Then I feel a little relieved. When Mr. Li really makes the people of Xiaozhou Mansion rich, then I will be completely relieved."
Hearing this, the seventh prince rolled his eyes and said, "I will go to my father tomorrow and mention this to him. Sixth brother, you go to the second brother and the fourth brother and ask them what they think."
"no problem."
The sixth prince snapped his fingers happily: "I will go find the second and fourth brothers now."
Since he can't win this question, he should end it quickly and let his father ask the third question without taking up too much of his time.
This difficult problem that gives their brothers a headache can be left to Mr. Li.
Anyway, Master Li has always been good at making something out of nothing.
The sixth prince went to find the second prince and the fourth prince. When the two princes learned that Li Qiao wanted to receive the imperial edict of appreciation, they nodded in agreement without hesitation.
Especially the fourth prince, he has been thinking about how to make the people rich from the moment he got his dock, but he has achieved little results in the past three years, and he wishes Li Qiao could give him some advice.
But he was embarrassed to open his mouth before. After all, he and Li Qiao had a mediocre relationship, and he also wanted to see his own potential.
However, time proved that he should have gone to Li Qiao earlier.
The second prince breathed a sigh of relief. The questions given by Sheng Hong were too difficult. He didn't have any good ideas considering that he was bald. Now that Li Qiao wants to take over, that's great.
Several princes agreed, and Sheng Hong had no objection.
No, to be precise, Sheng Hong had an opinion.
He asked this question because he wanted to see if his sons had the ability to make the people live a better life than they do now.
He didn't expect these sons to boost the entire Dasheng economy. He just wanted these sons to make the people in their respective docks rich.
After all, the most important thing when being an emperor is to let the people live a good life. If the people's life is good, then they will be reluctant to abandon the existing good life and rebel.
The reason why the people rebelled was because they were cornered and had no choice but to rebel.
But if the people live a good life, their bones will be soft and their blood will be gone. Even if some individuals encounter injustice, there will be no big commotion.
One or two people cannot afford to cause trouble.
Then his prosperous empire will be stable.
Therefore, letting the people live a good life is an ability that an emperor must possess.
But now that his Li Aiqing has gotten involved, how can his sons be trained and improved?
