Anyway, he didn't feel any malice from Sheng Hong at that time, so he felt at ease with the 20,000 acres of land.
After he explained this, Li Liang and Wang Guihua felt less anxious. However, it was the first time for the couple to see such a big scene. After calming down, they repeatedly told Li Qiao to do a good job for the Holy Father in the future and not to live up to His grace.
After finishing their instructions, the couple began to savor the joy of suddenly adding 20,000 acres of land to their family.
One is in Weiqing County and the other is in Jibei Province.
"In my opinion, we might as well write to the village chief in the next two days to explain the situation. If anyone in our village is willing to go to Weiqing County for development, they can go there this year to take care of the 10,000 acres of farmland there."
Li Liang said.
Zhuang Fengshou does not recommend that villagers come to Shengjing. If they really want to go out and have a try, Weiqing County is a good choice.
"That's what I'm planning to do."
Li Qiao responded.
Although Sheng Hong said that he could ask local magistrates to help manage the 10,000 acres of farmland, he had the nerve to bother his colleagues with his own farmland.
But now the Li family can't tell where to go to Weiqing County, so he can only hire villagers to go to Weiqing County.
As for Jibei Province.
Speaking of which, after Jiang Zhixian left Pingcheng, he went to a prefecture named Langfang in Jibei Province adjacent to Shengjing as the magistrate.
Langfang Mansion is really close to Shengjing. In Li Qiao's view, if Sheng Hong had the intention, he could definitely move Langfang Mansion to Shengjing and make this Jibei province the sixth ring road of Shengjing.
But Sheng Hong didn't have this intention, so Langfang Mansion still belonged to Jibei Province.
Although Jiangzhi County is close to Shengjing, Li Qiao has not met Jiangzhi County in recent years. He only maintained correspondence with Jiangzhi County.
However, if he chooses 10,000 acres of farmland from Langfang Mansion, then Magistrate Jiang will naturally welcome him.
With Jiang Zhixian taking care of him, he felt more at ease.
However, in addition to Lang Fang Mansion, he also had his eyes on another place: Cangzhou Mansion.
The reason is simple, Cangzhou Mansion is facing the sea.
Moreover, the Grand Canal will run through the entire Cangzhou Mansion.
The dock chosen by the fourth prince is in a county in Cangzhou Prefecture.
It is close to the sea and has the Grand Canal. It is not only rich in marine resources, but also has convenient transportation. It will be very convenient whether it is transporting food or doing anything in the future.
Li Qiao thought for a few days. After the Lantern Festival, when the household department officially started work, he went directly to the doctor in charge of Jibei Province. He first selected the 10,000 acres of cultivated land from Langfang Mansion and Cangzhou Mansion that Sheng Hong rewarded him with.
Then he spent his own money to purchase 10,000 acres of farmland in these two prefectures.
Sheng Hong suggested that he buy more land, and he was very obedient. As a result, he had 20,000 acres of land in Jibei Province.
Including those from Weiqing County and Heping City, he has 40,000 acres of farmland.
There is also the Peng family's farm, neither big nor small, with three hundred acres.
With Zhuangzi, his farmland in Shengjing reached 1,100 acres.
Big landowner!
The big landowner Li Qiao sent Li Bujin and Li Bufa to Langfang Mansion and Cangzhou Mansion respectively to deal with farmland matters.
After the two men set off, while taking advantage of the rest, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu went to visit the school that had already started school.
This academy was named Shantang Academy, and a total of 800 students were enrolled this time.
After recruiting students, based on the voluntary principle, the library owner allows these students to choose whether to attend the imperial examination class or the technical class.
Skills classes also teach literacy.
There will also be skills classes in the imperial examination classes.
But the focus of the two classes is different.
As expected by Li Qiao, there were more than 700 people who chose the technical class, and only more than 50 people chose the imperial examination class.
Those who come to register are all students from poor family backgrounds. For these students, it is better to choose a craft instead of studying for the imperial examination.
Moreover, the school only teaches for free for three years. If after three years the results are not enough to transfer to other private schools or academies, and the core skills of the technical classes have not been learned, then wouldn't these three years be wasted?
After three years, working for Li Qiao and the imperial court will definitely not be as important as the students in the technical class.
With this idea in mind, only about fifty people chose the imperial examination class, and the rest chose the technical class.
The skills class is divided into three courses.
One is a carpenter.
One is a blacksmith.
The other one is planting and breeding.
Regardless of whether you choose a carpenter or a blacksmith, you must learn planting and breeding techniques.
These students knew that Li Qiao had contributed many gadgets to the Royal Toy Shop, so there were more people taking the carpentry class, about 500 people.
Li Qiao is happy to see this situation.
Regardless of whether it is making a waterwheel or a bicycle, carpenters are needed.
Coincidentally, because of his personal visit, the owner of the library specially held a teacher-student meeting. He came on stage to encourage many students and then announced a decision:
If a top student learns quickly and well, he can graduate from the school early and work in his carpentry workshop or royal toy store.
After he finished speaking, the student who chose carpenter was naturally excited and excited, wishing he could learn all the skills in one day.
Although there is no tuition fee to study in the academy, it is not like the barefoot doctor who pays one hundred cents a month.
If you don't have money to earn, you can't support your family. Therefore, students naturally look forward to graduating as soon as possible and getting paid as soon as possible.
Li Qiao looked at the students' reactions and was very satisfied.
Yes, his chicken blood is very good.
After leaving the school with Tao Zhu, the couple went home.
At home, three little guys, Li Xiaorui, Li Changfeng and Li Yunfan, were reading.
Li Qiao is off from bathing today, and the three little guys should also have a holiday.
But Li Xiaorui learned that Shantang Academy only had two days off a month, so he planned to learn from the students in the academy, so he continued studying with his two uncles today.
Li Xiaorui is six years old this year, and Li Qiao plans to find a wife for him.
Li Qiao himself was busy with many things every day, and Tao Zhu was also a little busy after he established the Shantang.
Regardless of whether this little guy will take the imperial examination or manage the family's property in the future, he must first study well.
So I have to find a good wife for him.
As for the two little ones, Li Changfeng and Li Yunfan, they are only four years old, the age of kindergarten. In fact, Li Qiao has no requirements for them at the moment. After all, they are too young.
But these two little guys have good memories and their reading progress is much faster than that of their eldest nephew. Although Li Xiaorui is two years older than them, their learning progress is now the same as Li Xiaorui's, and they memorize four books every day.
Although Li Qiao was happy about this, he still insisted on the original plan.
These two little boys are young and can only memorize the original text, but cannot accurately understand the content of the text.
He first found a wife for Li Xiaorui. When the teacher taught, the two little guys listened if they wanted to, and played if they didn't want to.
When they are old enough, they will find a master to teach them well.
Li Xiaorui, Li Changfeng and Li Yunfan were studying, while the two little guys, Li Erbao and Brother Ju, were pushing their walkers.
After the Lantern Festival, the weather became slightly warmer, unlike a year ago when it was cloudy every day.
Therefore, Zheng Qianqian and Li Xia were willing to let Li Erbao and Brother Ju leave the greenhouse.
Li Qiao pinched their chubby faces one by one, hugged and kissed them, and then went to the study to continue reading some information about the location of the Prince's Wharf.
Tao Zhu planned to go to the kitchen to try rice mochi.
On the carriage back just now, Li Qiao talked about the drinks at duck shops, hot pot shops, and fried chicken shops. He also talked about a small ingredient called rice mochi, which he said can be made with glutinous rice, milk, cream and other raw materials. become.
He was going to give it a try.
The duck shop, hot pot shop, and fried chicken shop are still very popular, but the drinks in these three shops have not been updated for a long time.
Li Qiao said that he recently read the information about the locations of various docks and learned about some foods in the south, which gave him a lot of inspiration. He planned to try them all.
The raw materials of drinks are low, but the selling price is high. In terms of profitability, it is not inferior to duck products, hot pot, and fried chicken at all. It is a very important business of the Li family.
Now that Li Qiao had an idea about drinks, he naturally had to think about it carefully.
Every time Tao Zhu makes the food "invented" by Li Qiao, he has to be 100% patient, and this time was no exception, so he succeeded in making this rice mochi the first time.
Looking at the white and glutinous rice mochi in the pot, satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and then he took out a small iron pot and prepared to make a small pot of milk tea on the stove.
First put the sucrose in the pot, boil it into caramel, then add the milk, then add the Dahongpao gifted by Shenghong, crush the tea leaves with a spoon to force out the tea flavor, and then a pot of milk tea is ready.
Take out a bowl, scoop in a spoonful of rice mochi, spread a layer of cream, and then sprinkle some soybean flour on the cream, and the bowl of milk tea that looks good is ready.
Tao Zhu drank a bowl first, confirming that the taste was as good as the appearance. Then he filled another bowl and put it into a food box wrapped with thermal insulation cotton, preparing to take it to the study for Li Qiao to have a taste.
As for the remaining milk tea in the small iron pot, he asked the people in the kitchen to bring it to Zheng Qianqian, Li Xia, Li Xiaolan, and Li Yuning.
Li Yu'an was not at home today. He and Xin Zhi went shopping together.
Xin Zhi loves to run to Li's house after work on weekdays, let alone on holidays.
Staying at home and chatting all the time is a bit monotonous. Xin Zhi wanted to take Li Yu'an out to play a few years ago. At that time, Li Qiao didn't agree. Now that the two of them are making good progress, Li Qiao finally relaxed and agreed to Xin Zhi taking Li Yu'an out. Yuan went out to go shopping.
Chapter 203 New content in Gao Zhiyuan’s booklet In the previous life, Sheng Hong was poor
Tao Zhu carried milk tea to the study room, and Li Qiao stood in front of the bookshelf, looking for books.
Seeing him come in, he turned around and walked towards him with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Brother Zhu, let me have a taste."
"I've tried it and it tastes good."
Tao Zhu put the food box on the desk. He would not serve Li Qiao drinks that were not tasty.
When Li Qiao heard this, he immediately started to praise: "Brother Zhu is so awesome. He can cook and eat successfully in just one go."
