Thinking of the situation in Sanliu Village, he couldn't help but sigh softly.
The villagers in Sanliu Village are not only busy dealing with locusts, but also replanting crops and irrigating crops. One person wishes they could be used as three people.
The private school took more than half a month off so that the students could help with the work at home.
Even Li Dao and Zhao Erniu, the couple who have been concentrating on being landowners in recent years, are busy replanting in the fields.
Far away in Ligu, Weiqing County, although he was heartbroken, the autumn harvest in Weiqing County had begun, and he had to watch it, so he couldn't go home to see it.
In addition, Wang Guihua also sighed for many days, and only smiled in front of a few children.
Li Liang has not returned from Beihu Province. If Li Liang were here, it would be a pity that he would not be able to eat.
The people in Sanliu Village are like this, let alone the people in other areas.
"By the way, my sister-in-law came back today and asked me if I wanted to recruit some people for the sweet potato workshop in the north of the city to make vermicelli. It takes time for Pingcheng to purchase sweet potatoes from the outer government. She was thinking about whether she should make some vermicelli before Pingcheng's vermicelli was delivered. Put the vermicelli out for sale."
Thinking of this matter, Tao Zhu spoke again.
"Huh?" Li Qiao raised his eyes when he heard this, a little surprised: "It's not that long in time, right?"
"Yes, it's actually only a few days away. But some tenants in our village want to work part-time in the sweet potato workshop during the slack season in winter. My sister-in-law often goes to the village and is familiar with many of our tenants. She knows that these people's lives are difficult at home. My sister-in-law wanted to help them."
"Moreover, as soon as the news of the locust plague passing through Hexi Prefecture reached Shengjing, some restaurant owners came to her and said that if the supply of vermicelli in Pingcheng was not available this year, they hoped she could recruit more people to bring the workshop in the north of the city to Shengjing. Expand it a bit. In addition, she is also a little distressed about the loss in her hometown. Combining several reasons, she has some thoughts. "
"She said she would not compete with the folks in her hometown for business, and she would stop selling them immediately when the vermicelli from Pingcheng was delivered."
Tao Zhu explained.
"That's it..."
Li Qiao was stunned. He slowly chewed the watermelon in his mouth. After a moment, he shook his head: "If this is true, the folks must think more about it."
"In the beginning, the sweet potato workshop in the north of the city only supplied our shop and did not sell it to the public. Now if it is sold to the public before Pingcheng vermicelli is delivered, the villagers will definitely wonder whether we should just sell it to the public without considering Pingcheng in the next step. Sold.”
"This is stepping on the hearts of the villagers step by step. The villagers must be on tenterhooks. It's better to say goodbye. We have to reassure the villagers."
He is Li Wanwan in a high position now, so there is no need to do this.
"Then I'll persuade her tomorrow." Tao Zhu thought the same way.
Shengjing is a very important sales place for vermicelli. Almost one-third of the vermicelli made in Pingcheng flows into Shengjing.
But the market in Shengjing is still not saturated, and vermicelli is still something that only people with a good family background can afford.
He was very sorry for this.
Delicious food like vermicelli should flow into thousands of people's homes and become daily food in ordinary people's homes.
Unfortunately, since Sanliu Village decided that the whole village would make vermicelli together, everything about vermicelli was no longer under his and Li Qiao's control.
Now every household in Hexi Prefecture has become rich from vermicelli, and he can't touch this big cake.
In order to protect the miracle of Hexi Mansion, the Holy Emperor forced Governor Ming to stay in Hexi Mansion for more than ten years.
After Governor Ming was transferred away, he specially selected a smart, capable and ambitious Magistrate Tian to come over and continue to guard the cake of Hexi Prefecture.
In fact, the making of vermicelli has been spread for a long time, and cooks all over the world are not fools. It is very easy to figure out how to make vermicelli after having sweet potato starch.
But no one dared to compete openly with Hexi Mansion.
Even if I figured out how to make it, I would only dare to make it at home and eat it secretly.
Moreover, the vermicelli from Pingcheng can be delivered very quickly this year. Even if there is a time difference, it will not make much money, so there is no need for Wang Guihua to get involved in this.
"You have a good talk with her. As for the tenants who want to do odd jobs, that can be easily solved. We only have a thousand acres of farmland in Shengjing and there are not many tenants. We can just find a job for them in our own shop. "
Li Qiao had already finished half of Tao Zhu's watermelon. He put down his spoon, picked up the handkerchief on the table and wiped the corners of his mouth, then grabbed Tao Zhu's hand and stood up.
It's getting late, it's time to take a shower and go to bed.
Tao Zhu stood up obediently and asked, "What odd jobs can we find for them?"
"Um……"
If you want to work during the winter vacation, given the situation this winter, Li Qiao quickly said: "Let's chop and pick firewood. No matter how much dry firewood they send, we will accept it."
"When it was the coldest last winter, our shop had no business at all. My brother and sister-in-law have been worried about the firewood and coal consumed to heat the house every day. Regardless of whether that is the case this year, let's stock up on the firewood first."
"That's a good idea." After hearing this, Tao Zhu couldn't help but smile, and looked at Li Qiao with bright eyes.
This man is so smart, he can arrange the work with just a few words.
Just when Li Qiao turned to look at him and took in his appearance, Li Qiao immediately stopped and kissed him hard on the lips.
There was still the sweetness of watermelon on his lips, and Li Qiao couldn't help but kiss him a few more times.
Tao Zhu laughed at the kiss and subconsciously wrapped his hands around Li Qiao's neck. But thinking that it was late, he tilted his head and avoided Li Qiao's lips: "Go to the shower room to wash up and go to bed. We have to go to court tomorrow. Woolen cloth."
"It's okay, it won't take long."
Thinking of the anxiety he felt during this period, Li Qiao simply bent down and picked him up.
Ever since the news of the locust plague reached Shengjing, he and Tao Zhu had never been happier. Now that the locust plague is over and the losses are acceptable, we can relax a bit.
Tao Zhu was actually very thoughtful. Although he was worried about Li Qiao's lack of sleep, he couldn't stand Li Qiao's teasing and quickly cooperated.
The two of them had a quarrel in the shower room, and then went back to the greenhouse and quarreled again for a long time. Li Qiao had already come back late, and now he really didn't sleep all night.
When it was time to go out on weekdays, he got off the kang, got dressed, gave Tao Zhu a few kisses, and then went to court relaxed.
As a level 6 psychic who is about to reach level 7, it’s just a matter of not sleeping all night.
However, as the head of the Ministry of Household Affairs, he is indeed very busy during this period. He does not have to do other tasks, but he has to understand the autumn grain output of each province this year and the changes in farmland and household registration in each province next year.
This is the most basic thing in the household department. Sheng Hong may ask about it at any time, so he must remember it.
Besides, Sheng Hong kept stuffing him with stuff about the other five movies.
Last night, he told Tao Zhu that the rewards and punishments in Xishan Province had been released, and indeed they had been released. In terms of personnel mobilization, Sheng Hong took drastic measures to raise what should be promoted and what should be demoted.
In the seventeen counties of five prefectures in central Xishan Province where the locust plague originated, four county magistrates were sacked, more than a dozen village chiefs were dismissed, and the prefect of one of the prefectures was also demoted.
If someone is demoted, someone will be promoted. Sheng Hong likes those magistrates who reported the news to the southern counties in advance.
These county magistrates are smart and responsible. The neighboring counties to the south are not within their jurisdiction, but they still send people to deliver messages, which shows that they are not officials just for themselves.
Sheng Hong now likes officials who are responsible and responsible and treat Dasheng as his own, so these county magistrates are going to be promoted.
As for the three prefectures of Jincheng Prefecture, during the locust plague, although the prefects of Yuncheng Prefecture and Chang Prefecture also actively exterminate locusts, only Prefect Yu of Jincheng Prefecture set a bonus out of his own pocket.
In addition, Magistrate Yu was actively collecting donations of warm clothes before, so Magistrate Yu was promoted this time. The prefects of Yuncheng Prefecture and Chang Prefecture are neither superior nor inferior, and only verbal commendations are given.
Moreover, in order to set an example for all Dasheng officials, Sheng Hong directly promoted Magistrate Yu to the governorship of Xishan, Xishan, and Yuanhe provinces.
The original governor Shi of Xishan, Xishan and Yuanhe provinces was demoted to the prefecture by Sheng Hong.
The governor-general offices of the three provinces of Xishan, Xishan and Yuanhe are in Yuantaifu, the capital of Xishan Province, and Yuantaifu is north of the fifth province in the central part of Xishan Province, adjacent to this locust plague.
Yuan Taifu happened to miss this locust plague.
When the locust plague occurred, the prefects of the five central prefectures all sent letters to Governor Shi. However, the locust plague went south, not north, so a series of orders issued by Governor Shi either failed to catch up with the locust army, or they were inconsistent with the local magistrate's measures to eliminate locusts. Same.
Under such circumstances, Governor Shi did nothing during this huge locust plague.
This is a natural disaster, and Governor Shi has no way to deal with it. It's not that he doesn't do anything, he has nothing to do.
But Sheng Hong didn't think so.
Did nothing = waste = dereliction of duty.
How can the governors of the three provinces be trash? This is a high official in charge of three provinces, high official! There are only five governors in the entire twelve provinces of Dasheng!
He is a high-ranking official with a monthly salary of several thousand taels!
There is a loser sitting in this position, it is really frightening!
Sheng Hong was not willing to use his hard-earned money to support a waste.
As for dereliction of duty, it is indeed dereliction of duty. The governors of the three provinces played no role in this huge locust plague. Isn't this dereliction of duty?
Although it was a natural disaster, it also showed that Governor Shi was unlucky.
Since he is unlucky, he is not suitable to stay in such an important position.
So Sheng Hong picked up the unlucky Governor Shi and brought up Governor Yu who was actively rescuing disasters and rescuing people.
However, this result is currently known to only four people, Sheng Jun, Sheng Hong, Li Qiao, and Lu Liangmao, the Minister of Civil Affairs.
As the head of the household department, Li Qiao actually didn't want to know about this matter. After all, even the serious minister of the official department didn't know about it. If this spreads out in the future, it will offend many people.
But Sheng Hong kept dragging him to discuss, and he had to know even if he didn't want to know.
This really made him feel a little tired. He had to be on high alert at all times and be careful with every word he said, so as not to cross Sheng Hong's bottom line and not undermine his persona of not interfering in the promotion of officials.
Sheng Hong has been in a really bad mood recently!
Today is the court meeting. During the court meeting, Sheng Hong either had an expressionless face or frowned with a bitter look on his face. In fact, there was nothing important today, but seven or eight provinces in the south suffered from drought this year, and the autumn grain harvest was not good. As a result, Sheng Hong, who came out of the locust plague, was affected again.
This year is difficult!

The author has something to say:
Hey, I just counted and found that the number of provinces written in the article exceeds twelve, so the four provinces in the south of Shenghong were changed to three provinces QAQ
Chapter 229 Li Qiao’s “ingenious plan” and the final reward and punishment results Li Xiaolan goes on a blind date
After morning dynasty, it was almost noon.
Li Qiao followed Sheng Hong to the Hall of Seeking Xian.
Sheng Hong worked seriously for a while, and now he was a little tired. He pushed aside the memorials that Li Qiao had selected for him and needed his approval today, and then he took out Da Sheng's map and laid it out on the imperial desk. Study carefully.
Li Qiao sat back behind the screen to review the folds.
He has to go to the Ministry of Finance in the afternoon.
About a quarter of an hour later, Sheng Hong raised his head and looked at Li Qiao: "Li Aiqing."
"Wei Chen is here." Li Qiao put down the brush in his hand and quickly walked out from behind the screen.
