When his father went to the border town, he also wrote some diaries.
These two diaries are their favorite extracurricular readings.
Now it's their turn to go out, and of course they have to schedule their diaries!
"That's right, little emperor grandson, don't worry, I will also bring you not only fun but also delicious food."
Li Xiaorui also waved his little hand and patted his heart a few times.
Sheng Shiyu laughed when he saw this, and finally felt happy. He nodded his head heavily: "Okay."
Although he cannot leave the capital, these three younger brothers will help him see the scenery outside Shengjing. These friends are not in vain.
After spending two days preparing luggage and saying goodbye to relatives and friends, on the third day of the holiday, Li Qiao, Taozhu and Li Liang set off for Jibei Province with their three little ones.
The large carriage Li Qiao Taozhu rode was very luxurious, pulled by four horses. It was fully functional, including not only a desk but also a bed.
In order to lower the temperature inside the carriage, an ice basin was arranged and the roof was covered with a thick layer of branches and leaves, so it was not uncomfortable to sit inside.
In addition to recruiting all these guards, Li Qiao also hired thirty bodyguards from Royal Logistics.
The first stop is Shizhuang Mansion, where Dongding County is located.
In April this year, Li Yu'an gave birth to a fat son. Li Yu'an returned to Shengjing before giving birth. Although he is now in confinement, the Xin family is unwilling to let him because the fourth-generation grandson of Marquis Wu'an is too young. Take the little guy to Dongding County.
So he and Xin Zhi lived in two places.
Although Xin Zhi often came back to Beijing to visit him, he still missed Xin Zhi, so he went to Shizhuang Mansion as his first stop to take a look at Xin Zhi.
The five major rivers in Jibei Province actually come from the same water system and are all tributaries of the Zhigu River.
These five major rivers did not flow through Shizhuang Mansion, so Li Qiao diverted the water from one of the tributaries to Shizhuang Mansion.
The convoy entered the boundary of Shizhuang Mansion on the second day, and after walking for more than half a day, they saw the big river dug by the Li family.
This big river was named Li Er River. It was more than fifty meters wide. The water was clear and there were fish in it. Many people on both sides of the strait are fetching water to water crops on both sides of the strait.
However, because the Grand Canal does not pass through Shizhuang Mansion, the lives of local people are similar to those before. Most people on both sides of the strait carry buckets, and waterwheels are rarely seen.
Li Liang sat on the shaft of the car, stretching his neck to look at the situation by the river. He looked sympathetic. Alas, it's hard for the people at the bottom.
The three little guys who were chatting non-stop also shut their mouths now. Not far from the carriage, there was an old man in his fifties wearing a straw hat, carrying two buckets of water on a pole, slowly He walked along the field ridge to his own field.
Although the field ridge is very narrow, it can still pass a small wheelbarrow, but this old man uses a pole, and the linen shorts he wears are covered with patches. The three little guys can tell at a glance that this old man's family is not well off. .
It was around four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was still very strong. The old man had a sweat towel hanging around his neck. He kept wiping the sweat on his face with the sweat towel. As he walked, two buckets were floating in the air. Shaking and shaking, some water in the bucket splashed out.
By the time he reached his sweet potato field, only half of the water in the bucket was left.
Even so, the old man was bent over by the pressure of the two buckets of water, and his back was always stooped.
The old man came to the middle of the sweet potato field, first rested on the ground with a pole for half a minute, and then poured down the two buckets of water with some difficulty.
The sun-stained land was so thirsty that it swallowed up the clear river water in an instant.
Li Qiao pursed her lower lip. These two buckets of water could only water less than half a square meter of sweet potatoes, but one acre of land covers more than 600 square meters...
The carriage continued to move forward, and the three little guys flashed their big eyes, losing their previous excitement.
The crops in the fields on both sides, whether it was corn leaves or sweet potato leaves, were wilted by the sun, and so were the three of them.
After a while, Li Xiaorui moved from the door of the carriage to Li Qiao who was reading a book. He opened his eyes wide and asked Li Qiao: "Uncle, can we help that old man just now?"
"I can help, but there are many poor people in the world, accounting for at least 30% of the total population of Dasheng. Xiao Rui, can you help?"
Li Qiao put down the book in his hand and raised his hand to pinch his fleshy cheek.
"I can't help."
Li Xiaorui's shoulders slumped instantly.
"It's true that we can't help, but wherever we can see, I'm confident that we can help."
Li Changfeng suddenly answered. He sat at the door of the carriage and stretched out his little arm to gesture to Li Qiao: "The field of Grandpa's house is a bit far away from our river. I can give him a keel waterwheel and Some bamboo pipes. Just like our own fields."
"Yes, yes, yes." When Li Yunfan heard this, he nodded his little head like a chicken pecking rice, and agreed with his twin brother: "Dad, we can't save all the poor people, but we stay in Shengjing all day, and we can see There are not many people in extreme poverty, so we only help those we see. With our family background, we should be able to do it, right?"
Li Qiao didn't expect this answer from the two little guys. He raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Of course we can do it with our family background. However, you two haven't made any money yet. It was given by the elders.”
As soon as these words came out, the two little guys opened their big eyes and pointed at themselves with their little fingers: "Do we still want to make money by ourselves?"
"Although our family has a lot of money, we all earned it together. You two are young now, but you will definitely have to work to earn money when you grow up."
"I remember how hard it was for your father and I back then. We had to pull a cart for two hours to go to the county town to sell fish and snacks."
It is a good thing to be willing to help the poor.
But we must also understand that money is not brought by strong winds.
Since Xiao Changfeng made the bold statement of "helping the poor people within his sight", he had to take the opportunity to let the three little guys know that making money was not easy, and they had to perform their own stunts.
"No, it's your father who works hard. He sells snacks and fish all by himself on foot."
Tao Zhu sat aside and corrected Li Qiao's words.
"Yes, your father was so good at the beginning. I didn't even expect that he could persevere. No wonder he was able to get the top prize in school in one go."
Li Liang couldn't help but turn his head and look at the people in the carriage, his tone full of emotion.
Xiaoqiao is so awesome after she changed her mind!
"Forehead……"
Li Changfeng and Li Yunfan looked at each other, and the two little guys crawled toward their father using their hands and feet together.
They know how the Li family made their fortune.
Their dad worked really hard back then!
But now we want them to make money?
Throwing himself into Li Qiao's arms, Li Yunfan puffed up his little face and said distressedly: "Dad, how do I make money? I want to make money to buy a keel waterwheel and bamboo pipes for that old man."
"I also want to make money."
Li Changfeng hugged Xiao Yunfan from behind and looked up at his father.
Not to be outdone, Li Xiaorui stretched out his arms, hugged both of his little uncles, and shouted, "Uncle, I want to work and earn money!"
"Okay, after you return to Beijing, you are free to choose. If you are willing to go to the hot pot shop, you can follow your Dashan daddy and Dashan brother to help in the shop. If you want to go to other shops, you can go to other shops. If you do a day's work, I will give you a How about daily wages?"
Li Qiao said with a smile.
"OK!"
The three little guys nodded their heads in unison. They just went to work in the shop. If their father/brother can do it, they can do it too!
They are very good at adjusting the abacus when settling accounts.
"How about I give you the money you used to help the old man today and pay it back to me after you get your wages?"
Li Qiao said with a smile.
"no problem!"
The three little guys answered in unison again.
So Li Qiao asked Li Man to go back to find the old man to register the information, and arranged for a bodyguard from Royal Logistics to return to Beijing to pick up the keel waterwheel and bamboo pipes from Li's house.
The three little guys did good things and were in a happy mood.
They were also very interested in part-time work and inquired one by one about what Li Dashan, Li Shu and others were doing every day.
After inquiring again, they became more confident.
Don't worry, let's see how easy it is for them to handle it after returning to Beijing!
Soon evening came, and instead of continuing on the road, the group went into the city and stayed at an inn.
After dinner, Li Qiao arranged for the three little guys to play mahjong. On the pretext of going on a date with Tao Zhu, Li Qiao rode a horse to the Li Er River with Tao Zhu.
The moonlight was hazy, frogs croaking constantly in the ears, and the smell of water plants lingered on the tip of the nose. The couple stood on the soft land by the river. Li Qiao was holding a cloth bag in his hand, which contained his compressed water balloon. .
He threw twenty water balloons into the Li Er River and slowly released the water in them.
After the water from the twenty water balloons was released, the water level of the Li Er River had obviously risen.
However, the Li Er River is connected to one of the five major tributaries of the Zhigu River, and also leads to his family's fields. The extra water in this section of the river will flow in all directions. Over the course of a night, the obviously rising water level will fall back a lot.
Just like outside Shengjing City, even if someone notices something strange, there is no evidence.
In fact, this method is very stupid, but other than this method, he can't find a more suitable method.
Unless he becomes the emperor, he will always have to restrain himself when using his powers.
"You are an unsung hero."
Tao Zhu held Li Qiao's left arm and witnessed the river rising and receding in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh.
He said that the drought in one or two prefectures was not worth Li Qiao's hard work.
The key is that after working so hard, the world still doesn’t know.
The only ones who could witness this scene were heaven, earth, and him.
Zan Liqiao is an unsung hero, and he is not exaggerating at all.
"You praise me like this, I'm going to blush." Li Qiao's right hand was still condensing water balls, and his toes couldn't help but scratch the ground after hearing this.
"I'm telling the truth. Look at you, even when you are poor, you are very generous. In the past, when you repaid your gambling debts, you had to pay interest and give snacks. When you really get rich, you will become a money-splitting boy. .”
"You have scattered almost half of the tens of millions of family fortunes. You are like a transit station, taking money from the pockets of the rich and nobles, and then transferring it to the people at the bottom. You are not only an unknown hero, you are..."
Tao Zhu paused, he was a little stuck.
His vocabulary was limited, and for a while he couldn't find the right words to describe Li Qiao.
"Well...you are the reincarnation of Bodhisattva."
A few seconds later, he brought out the words used by the people in Shengjing to praise Li Qiao.
Li Qiao: "..."
Very good, Brother Zhu didn't say anything that made him more embarrassed.
"In fact, I didn't do anything. I used the wisdom of all mankind in my previous life to make money. This money comes easily, so I am willing to spread it out."
