Lijia Shop has not offered membership card discounts over the years. Only friends and family members, such as the dealer, Xu Yingchen Hua, Meng Yue Seventh Prince and others, were offered a 69% discount on purchases in the past.
The general public cannot enjoy this kind of discount.
This kind of discount is nothing to a wealthy family like the Xin family.
But even in Shengjing, how many families are as wealthy as the Xin family?
Even if it is a 25% discount, you can save a lot of money in a year.
Therefore, as soon as the notice for the calligraphy competition was posted, it immediately aroused considerable repercussions in Shengjing.
There is no registration fee and the prizes are so generous, so give it a try.
What if a pie in the sky breaks into the top three?
Li Xiaorui, Li Yunfan and Li Changfeng also signed up enthusiastically. Although Li Yunfan and Li Changfeng did not meet the age requirements, the final interpretation of this competition belongs to Li Qiao. Li Qiao said that if they can participate, then they can join.
However, to be fair, they only competed and their results were not included in the ranking, so as not to take up the places of other contestants.
Sheng Shiyu learned about this competition and actively signed up.
This is a great opportunity to become famous.
Moreover, this competition is divided into two age groups, seven years old - ten years old, and ten years old - fourteen years old.
If he faced a fourteen-year-old boy, he was not confident that he would win, but against his peers, he was confident of winning first place.
His grandfather was fond of calligraphy, and his father had forced him to practice calligraphy since he was a child. Since he was six years old, his birthday gift to his grandfather was his calligraphy work.
His grandpa would praise him every time!
Sheng Shiyu guessed right. In this calligraphy competition, he did win the first place in the children's category. Although Li Changfeng, Li Yunfan, and Li Xiaorui were also very good, the hard work of the three of them in calligraphy was far inferior to the hard work. Sheng Shiyu of this item.
In addition, the three of them were young, so the first place in the children's category went to Sheng Shiyu.
However, what surprised Li Qiao was that even if Sheng Shiyu's works were placed in the age group of ten to fourteen years old, they would still be ranked first.
It is indeed a bargaining chip for winning the throne carefully taught by the eldest prince. It is indeed outstanding.
After the results of the competition came out, the three little guys, Li Xiaorui, Li Changfeng and Li Yunfan, carefully tasted Sheng Shiyu's works and were convinced.
The three of them even went to the eldest prince's mansion to invite Sheng Shiyu to have a big meal at Li's shop to celebrate this happy event in a lively manner.
The eldest prince happily agreed.
Necessary social interaction is normal.
Such an outstanding son of his should not be kept hidden. When it is time to go out and grow his face, he must make his presence felt in front of the public.
Sheng Shiyu was surprised and excited when he received the invitation again.
In the past, when he went out to attend banquets, he would either go to the palace or go to the homes of his uncles and uncles. This was his first time going to a restaurant like this!
He carefully prepared small gifts for his three younger brothers, thanking them for bringing him such a novel experience!
So the four little guys opened a private room at Li's hot pot shop, and the table was filled with various dishes, as well as soy milk for children and other drinks.
After eating in a lively manner from noon for a long time, I happily returned home.
During this period, Tao Zhu accompanied him throughout the whole process.
However, he did not enter the box, only stayed outside.
As a qualified parent, you must leave a certain amount of personal space for your children, and you cannot get involved in everything.
Although he was a little surprised at how good the little emperor's grandson was, he couldn't help but feel a dark streak in his head when he heard little Yunfan's heroic shouts of "Come on, come on, have a drink" in the box.
Would the little grandson like his Yunfan's boy-like temperament?
Not to mention the little emperor's grandson, even the children of other noble families, 80% of them don't like it...
Just look at Li Xiaolan, Li Yuning, Li Xiaoshan, Li Ershan and others. Although there are noble families who want to marry each other, they are all out of interest. When the two parties really sit down for a blind date, the other party will more or less treat Li The children at home showed displeasure and contempt.
If his little Yunfan doesn't change his temper, he will definitely be disliked in the future.
After sending the little grandson back to the eldest prince's mansion, he took the three little guys home. Not long after arriving home, Li Qiao came back.
Li Qiao worked overtime for a while today because the seventh prince, the eldest prince, and the fourth prince were planning to follow the example of the sixth prince and open schools in the provinces and docks they were selected for. The two of them went to the Ministry of Finance before getting off work and asked him. experience.
With this delay, he would be late from get off work.
It was almost dark now, and dinner was not ready yet, so he entered the study.
The fourth prince and the seventh prince were not as financially strong as he and the sixth prince. After hearing his experience, they felt that they could not afford such a large expense, so they thought that instead of opening a specialized craftsman, blacksmith school and medical school, they Open several free private schools.
The school he and the Sixth Prince attended was said to be a school, but in fact it was a craftsman's and blacksmith's school. There were very few students who actually chose to take the imperial examination.
Nowadays, water conservancy projects are being overhauled everywhere, so a large number of water trucks are needed. However, a water truck can be used for a long time. When the water trucks are saturated in the future, will the craftsmen and blacksmiths trained by him and the Sixth Prince be unemployed?
Instead of doing this, it is better to open some free private schools for poor families.
This kind of free private school does not charge meals, accommodation, or tuition fees. Children from poor families voluntarily enroll and study.
If you study in a private school, you are not required to give good grades. Everything depends on the student.
The seventh and fourth princes did this not to train children from poor families to take the imperial examination, but to eliminate illiteracy.
If children from poor families can read a few words, they may be able to change their destiny. When they go out to work, they will definitely be more competitive than those who are illiterate.
At that time, after listening to what the seventh and fourth princes said, he strongly agreed.
Literacy is also in his life plan.
But he had not had time to implement it before. Now that the fourth and seventh princes have proposed this, he has to keep up.
Hmm... Let's start by making arrangements for the entire Yuanhe Province, Weiqing County and Peng County.
As he was immersed in writing his plan, familiar footsteps were heard outside, and then the study door was pushed open with gentle force, and Tao Zhu walked in.
"It's time for dinner, why don't we wait until after dinner to write?" Tao Zhu came to the desk in a few steps, stood in front of him, put his arms around his neck and sat down on his lap.
"Okay." Li Qiao hugged the person in his arms with one hand and put down the brush with the other hand. He asked with a smile: "Is it going well for the three little guys to entertain the little emperor's grandson today?"
"It went well, how could it not go well? On our own territory, Yun Fan is having so much fun that he almost becomes a brother-in-law to the little emperor grandson."
Tao Zhu put his head on Li Qiao's shoulder as he spoke, feeling a little helpless: "With Yun Fan's temperament, I'm afraid that the children of wealthy families will dislike him in the future, so I thought about it, how about we give him a child nanny?" ?”
"Ah?" Li Qiao was surprised. He looked sideways at Tao Zhu's face, stretched out his finger and tapped the tip of his nose, and then asked, "Whose child is willing to come to our house to be a foster husband?"
"What I mean is that we can take in some homeless orphans and teach them well. When they grow up, they will be good."
"We don't ask Yunfan to marry a relative of the emperor. No matter what his status is, Yunfan can just like it."
Tao Zhu said, sitting up straight and looking at him: "Do you think so?"
Looking at the seriousness on Tao Zhu's face, Li Qiao nodded heavily: "You are right. I just plan to take advantage of the free private school to open an orphanage."
Now that Sheng Hong not only does not doubt him, but also strongly supports his good deeds, the orphanage can be arranged.
"Orphanage?"
Tao Zhu was surprised.
"Yes, I want to provide a shelter for those homeless children."
"...This is necessary."
Tao Zhu pursed his lips and changed from sitting sideways on Li Qiao's lap to sitting astride Li Qiao's lap. He hugged Li Qiao tightly.
He already knew all Li Qiao's experiences in his previous life, and he was very grateful to the orphanage for giving young Li Qiao a place to stay.
Now Li Qiao wants to provide a home for Dasheng's orphans, and he is very supportive.
"It's all over, don't feel sorry for me anymore."
Li Qiao smiled and patted him on the back: "Come on, let's discuss and set a standard for the orphanage's food and accommodation."
"Just follow the school's standards." Tao Zhu didn't move, still hugging Li Qiao tightly. Does this kind of matter still need to be discussed?
I have experience in a school.
"I think the standards should be lowered a little bit more."
"Um?"
As soon as these words came out, Tao Zhu's eyes widened in surprise. He left Li Qiao's arms and looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.
Li Qiao actually wants to lower the specifications?
"I'm afraid that the conditions we provide for orphans are too good, and some families will deliberately abandon their children."
Li Qiao's tone was a little heavy.
If he turned the orphanage into a blessed home, there would definitely be many people who would want to put their children in it.
Moreover, the phenomenon of favoring sons over daughters and younger brothers in this time and space is quite serious. At the end of the previous dynasty, some extreme families would throw away or drown their babies if they gave birth to baby girls or younger brothers.
After the establishment of Dasheng, strict laws were issued that prohibited the killing and abandonment of babies. In addition, the people's lives were much better, and this phenomenon almost disappeared.
But if he accepts the baby unconditionally, if he encounters those who particularly favor boys over girls, they might quietly leave the baby girls and boys at the entrance of the orphanage.
Therefore, he cannot let the children in the orphanage have too much food and clothing.
After Tao Zhu heard Li Qiao's explanation, his mood immediately became heavy.
He heard about this kind of thing when he was in Sanliu Village.
"It's not that I don't want to pay the money, but I'm afraid that if the conditions are too good and too many people come, we may not be able to support them."
Li Qiao took a long breath.
Although he earns a lot of money, he also spends money in many places, such as the academy and the medical center, which are small in size, with only 2,300 students.
But neither the seventh prince nor the fourth prince could afford such a scale.
Because the half-sized rice is too much to eat, plus other consumption, the daily expenditure is a lot of money.
After hearing his expenses today, the two princes immediately shook their heads, indicating that they did not have that much money.
After the opening of the Grand Canal, the operating conditions of the two princes' respective wharves were far inferior to those of the Weiqing County wharf. Weiqing County had Li's Shop, and passing ships had to go ashore for consumption even if they did not need to replenish supplies.
However, the two princes' docks did not have a sign shop where passing ships could stop, so ships would only dock when they arrived at their docks and needed to replenish supplies.
As a result, the income of the two princes was far less than his.
Other incomes are even worse than him.
