The position of Governor of Water Transport was too important. Li Qiao had already reminded him in the hospital examination papers before, and he could not let those shortcomings really happen.
"There's no rush, there's still time. After the Grand Canal is opened to navigation, I'll definitely take a boat to the coast first."
After several years of holding back in the capital, he was so idle that he felt like picking his feet!
"Well... if you are really bored, why don't you wander around Jibei Province first? The mud road is flat and close to Shengjing. However, you have to go to a few provinces in the south. The north is not safe yet. I don't know. Will people invade Dasheng after the internal fighting?"
Sheng Hong thought for a moment and then suggested this.
"No, what is there to do in Jibei Province? I would rather go down to the south of the Yangtze River by boat."
Sheng Jun waved his hand and refused.
"There's really nowhere to go."
Sheng Hong thought for a while and agreed with this.
That's all, his father will just have to suffer for a few more months, and when the Grand Canal is opened to navigation, his father can go wherever he wants.
"If you ask me, you should also go out and walk around the capital. What's the fun in staying in the palace all day and looking at a bunch of papers? You become an emperor but don't know how to enjoy yourself. Don't be as good and stupid as that kid Li Qiao."
Sheng Jun was also helpless about Sheng Hong's homely nature.
After being the emperor for more than ten years, he never went out for fun once. This emperor is really at a loss!
"When the crown prince is established in a few years, the son will follow you out of the capital."
Sheng Hong is really excited about the Grand Canal.
Part of the reason why he didn't like to go out of the capital was because the road was bumpy and slow. Most of the time he was traveling in a boring way. Instead of wasting time like this, he might as well stay in the palace and read the news to learn about new things happening in various places.
But the Grand Canal was his obsession.
This is a big project that he has been looking forward to for ten years.
Now that it was finally completed, he would definitely take a boat ride.
The father and son talked about the customs and customs along the Grand Canal, and the more they talked, the more interested they became, and it was not until late at night that they reluctantly left.
The discomfort he felt when he came has dissipated a lot, and his steps are a little more cheerful.
That's all, that's the end of the matter, he can make up to Xu'er more in the future.
The Sixth Prince didn't know that Sheng Hong had already made a decision secretly. He got Sheng Hong's guarantee and immediately sent people to spread the news.
Although he has lost an arm, he can still compete for the throne.
Moreover, he began to go to court and no longer stayed in the mansion to rest.
His move surprised all the courtiers, and the fourth prince even went to find Sheng Hong in person to confirm the matter.
After receiving Sheng Hong's accurate words, the fourth prince immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
A few days ago, the courtiers almost had to choose between him and the eldest prince. That kind of attention was actually quite stressful.
Now that the Sixth Prince has returned strongly, it's good. The courtiers' attention will definitely be reduced on him.
It’s not easy to be an emperor!
The seventh prince had long expected this situation. When he took his doctor to the sixth prince's mansion, his sixth brother was in a stable mood and could talk and laugh with him. This showed that his sixth brother had not given up the throne.
And his father was soft-hearted.
As long as his good sixth brother cries and begs, his father will definitely be soft-hearted.
This is also true.
The Seventh Prince put the matter aside for the time being. Governor of Water Transport, this position was not of interest to him.
But he wanted to push Meng Yue through.
After all, Meng Yue was a Jinshi. She had studied hard for many years in Hanchuang. After becoming an official, she only stayed in the Criminal Department to guard criminals all day long. This was too unworthy of her talent.
Besides, Meng Yue's salary is only ninety taels.
Half of it was spent on him. Every time he heard the news that the Meng family was urging the marriage, he felt as if his five-flavor bottle had been overturned, and he had all kinds of feelings.
He couldn't see the future between him and Meng Yue.
And Meng Yue was determined to identify him. In this case, he would definitely pull Meng Yue away.
At least, after Meng Yue's official position is promoted, the Meng family can buy a spacious house, and no longer have to squeeze into a small courtyard as miserable as now.
Meng Yue was also able to take over her nephew from her hometown, and the whole family stayed in Shengjing...
The seventh prince had an idea in his mind and often asked Sheng Hong to inquire about it.
The Grand Canal is about to undergo trial navigation, and corresponding official positions and office spaces should also be arranged.
In early March, Li Xiaolan and Jiang Mao's marriage was held as scheduled.
Magistrate Jiang and all the relatives of the Jiang family came to Shengjing, and Li Xiaolan's ten-mile red makeup made everyone in Shengjing talk about it for several days.
Li Qiao treats her niece with great care!
Just a week after Jiang Mao and Li Xiaolan got married, Sheng Hong arranged work for Jiang Mao and several other grain inspectors:
It's time to go down and inspect the food.
It hasn't rained since the Chinese New Year. We need to see if the farmers in Jibei Province have properly irrigated their fields.
Jiang Mao was assigned to Lang Fang Mansion.
This is the territory of Magistrate Jiang, and it is close to Shengjing. The Li family has many fields in Langfang Mansion.
Li Liang and Wang Guihua were overjoyed.
They wanted to go to Lang Fang's Mansion with Jiang Mao.
Of course, Li Xiaolan can also follow.
However, you have to ask Li Qiao about this first. Jiang Mao has gone to do some business. Isn't it outrageous for the three of them to follow him there?
Li Qiao listened to their request and nodded in agreement.
Sheng Hong didn't say that he was not allowed to bring his family, as long as he completed Sheng Hong's tasks on time.
Li Liang and Wang Guihua were afraid that Li Xiaolan would be wronged, so they wanted to supervise with their own eyes. Otherwise, with Wang Guihua's temperament, she would not get too close to make others uncomfortable.
Of course, the couple really wanted to take a look at their own fields.
However, in order to protect their safety, Li Qiao hired twenty bodyguards from Royal Logistics and asked Bu Jinbufa to follow them.
At the same time, he also gave away the luxurious carriage-like RV that he and Tao Zhu had customized for Jiang Mao and Li Xiaolan to use.
Li Xiaolan must go to the countryside with Jiang Mao. If she cannot return to the city in time, she can only sleep in the wild or stay in a farmer's home. This large carriage can make Li Xiaolan's journey more comfortable.
After Jiang Mao and Li Xiaolan, Li Liang, and Wang Guihua went to Jibei Province, the internal fighting in Donghu ended.
The other four tribes really divided up the Bershot tribe.
Sheng Hong asked Li Qiao to write a letter and send it to the border town. He asked Chang Wuchang to send someone to deliver the letter to the Hu people.
The content of the letter is very simple. Dasheng is willing to sell grain to the Hu people, and the price will not be very expensive.
Dasheng's move was not really to make some money, but to ensure peaceful coexistence between the two parties.
Therefore, he made it very clear that the Hu people should not expect to make a fortune or strengthen themselves through trade. There were constant natural disasters in Dasheng, and the food sold would not be too much, just enough to keep the Hu people from starving to death.
He advised these four groups to figure out the situation. Let alone these four groups, even if East Hu and West Hu join forces, they will not be able to break through Dasheng's country.
But if a war really breaks out, both sides will suffer heavy losses.
Rather than losing both sides, it is better to sit down and talk about restoring trade.
The two sides exchange their needs and spend the severe cold weather in recent years in a peaceful way. As for the future, let each of them rely on their own abilities.
After sending this letter, Sheng Hong looked forward to it, but the Hu people would definitely not reply quickly, and the other party was not a piece of iron.
Sheng Hong was quickly distracted by the Grand Canal.
The big project that he had been thinking about for ten years was finally completed. More importantly, it did not waste people or money, and there were no complaints from the people.
This is a feat!
It is a feat that must be recorded in history!
But who should be arranged for the corresponding officials...
The position of Governor of Water Transport was a fat one, and according to his opinion, Li Qiao was the most suitable.
But he planned to set up the governor's palace in Jiangnan, and Li Qiao could not stay in Jiangnan permanently.
The sixth prince was busy moving the poor people of Xishan Province to a livable place, but he also focused on water transportation.
His mother's family, the Xu family, has rich experience in water transportation. He wanted to find a small official for the Xu family. He knew that Sheng Hong hated his relatives, so he didn't eye the governor's position. He focused on the low-ranking official position of the fifth or sixth grade. .
Li Qiao got off work on time that day. He locked his office and slowly left the household department.
There was a familiar figure standing at the door of the household, it was Meng Yue.
Meng Yue frowned, with a look of bitterness and hatred on her face.
He couldn't help but walked over quickly.
"Brother Meng, what's wrong?"
Meng Yue saw him and forced out a wry smile: "I'll go to your house for a drink tonight."
"Okay." Li Qiao agreed.
Meng Yue couldn't hide anything. As soon as she got on the Li family's carriage, she immediately poured out her bitterness to Li Qiao.
The Seventh Prince wants to recommend him to the Holy Emperor for the post of censor patrolling the Grand Canal!
Patrolling the canal, as the name suggests, requires frequent business trips, and you have to be on the Grand Canal for half of the year.
Even if this was a fifth-rank official, he wouldn't want to.
He didn't want to leave the Criminal Department.
But the seventh prince felt that he was irresponsible to his family, so he scolded him and refused to allow him to go to the seventh prince's mansion again.
When they met him in the Ministry of Justice, they were also cold-blooded and started a cold war with him.
He feels miserable!
