On the second day of the wedding, he didn't want to go to the old courtyard to be scolded, so he let Li Dazhong take the golden lock that had been prepared long ago to the old courtyard.

Tao Zhu carefully looked at his expression and persuaded: "The two children are young and ignorant, and they will definitely get better if they teach him well in the future." Just look at Brother Dazhong. ”

"Well, I'm not in a hurry."

Bai Yu smiled, since he chose Li Dazhong, of course he had to accept the two children.

Li Dazhong is a good person and treats the two children very well, he doesn't want to conflict with Li Dazhong over the children's affairs.

After being tortured by her deceased husband's family, now he only begs him that a man can treat him well, as long as Li Dazhong treats him wholeheartedly, he is willing to let him be.

Tao Zhu looked at the smile on Bai Yu's face, and inexplicably thought of Li Qiao's words.

Before Li Qiao said that it doesn't matter if he doesn't have children in his life, it's a big deal to pass one.

can look at Bai Yu's situation, Bai Yu is willing to accept the two children, but the two children feel that Bai Yu has robbed Li Dazhong, so they cry and ask for Han Xiaoyan, the mother-in-law, this situation, Bai Yu has to pay a lot of effort to solve it......

If it's not your own, there will always be a gap.

Even if the Li family is willing to pass their children to their husbands, what will the children themselves think?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look down at his stomach.

It's been conditioning for so long, and even bird's nest and abalone have been eaten, and Li Qiao is also working hard, but why hasn't there been any movement?

In the evening, Tao Zhu was much more enthusiastic than usual, and he didn't want Li Qiao to guess why he was enthusiastic, which directly showed that he was a little depressed.

It's really depressing.

It's one thing whether he wants to give birth or not.

But whether it can be born or not, that's another matter.

Li Qiao heard what he said, and immediately crossed his fingers to count the time for him: "We have to go to Fucheng next year, and we have to go to the capital the year after tomorrow, the mountains are high and the road is far away, if you are really pregnant, how hard will it be?" ”

"We must not have children in these two years, and we will talk about it after we settle down."

Tao Zhu: "......"

yes.

It is true that he must not conceive during these two years, otherwise he will not only suffer sin, but also take care of this man's food and clothing.

He still has to win the first case of the court exam with this person.

Thinking about it like this, Tao Zhu was not depressed, and went to kiss Li Qiao with a smile.

Kid or something, a little bit later.

He hasn't had enough of this man yet.

On the third day of Bai Yu and Li Dazhong's marriage, Shen Hua came.

Because today was not a big day for Baiyu, he couldn't help crying again, and his eyes were red like rabbits.

Tao Zhu was a little distressed, he felt that Shen Hua was the rich version and the squeamish version of Zheng Qianqian, the whole person was white and tender, but cute and loving, and with a good temperament, what a little brother, but now he is disliked by the Xu family.

After accompanying Shen Hua for a day, Shen Hua was still wilting when he left, Tao Zhu returned home, and when he went to bed at night, he talked to Li Qiao about it, and sighed uncontrollably.

"I asked him and Xu Ying to find out, but he didn't dare, he was afraid that Xu Ying would think the same way."

"Bai Yu really can't stand it, he asked you to pay more attention in the future, and want to find a better one than Xu Ying for Shen Hua."

“…… Good. ”

Li Qiao responded.

However, for now, he couldn't find a better one than Xu Ying.

This time I went to Fucheng for the exam, although I met a lot of people, but I couldn't compare with Xu Ying in all aspects, and there was no one.

And with his current social circle, at least before next year's college exams, he won't know more people.

Because for the next year, he will study hard.

In addition, there is no Internet at this time, and he can't make friends online, where can he find high-quality young people.

Li Qiao took Tao Zhu's explanation to heart, and still focused on reading during the day.

Previously, he read the three histories and three biographies carefully against the annotated book, taking notes while reading, and the notes he took were very useful, and now they have helped him a lot.

Like the three histories, these three books are all chronicles.

The advantages of the chronicle history book are clear, but the disadvantages are also clear, it cannot record the entire process of a historical event, the same event will appear in multiple chapters, before and after several times.

It is also not possible to record the relationship between historical events and historical events.

So Li Qiao made his own notes and sorted out all these historical figures and historical events separately.

He extracted the life, merits and demerits of a certain historical figure, and his influence on later generations from these three history books.

The same is true of historical events, the reasons for the occurrence of a certain historical event, the process of its occurrence, the significance of the time, and its impact on future generations are also taken out and recorded in his notebook separately.

He summarized these, and so far, the thickness of the notes he has sorted out is almost as thick as that of the three histories.

Although this method is harder, it is very effective for him, if he wants to inquire about a certain person or an event, he can just turn over his notes, and remember all aspects clearly.

In addition, you will be able to deepen your understanding and memorization of the original text.

Relying on his own notes, his hard reading was quite effective, plus he was now a second-level ability, and his memory was better than that of the first level, so his daily hard reading was very effective.

The satisfaction and sense of accomplishment that was fruitful every day stimulated him and made him can't help but work harder.

While Li Qiao was concentrating on hard study, summer came.

It's getting hot.

This year's rain is not as good as in the previous two years, and there is less rain during the wheat harvest, which is a good thing, but when the wheat harvest is over, it does not rain, which is a bad thing.

At this time, irrigation was largely by hand, with buckets of water being carried from rivers and wells and then carried to their fields to irrigate the dried crops.

At the end of the day, people's shoulders were red from the burdens, but the fields were not watered much.

Every grain is hard, these five words are not just words, behind it is countless sweat and exhaustion.

Li Qiao's keel waterwheel has been made in his "experiments" again and again.

This is where his keel waterwheel comes in handy.

For example, those high-grade fields and high-grade fields in Zhujia Village, relying on keel waterwheels, only need a few people to irrigate.

However, fields that do not have access to the river have to rely on wells.

In the past two years, every household in Sanliu Village has earned a lot of silver, and after having money, the villagers have bought ox carts.

There is no way, in the winter, they have to deliver sweet potatoes to the sweet potato workshop, and they only rely on the speed of the board truck to be too slow, which affects their earning money.

Therefore, every family arranged for the ox cart.

With ox carts, there is no longer a need to carry water with a load to irrigate, but can be used to pull buckets for irrigation.

The villagers were very satisfied with this.

But Li Qiao was not satisfied.

He immediately assigned a new task to Li Gu: digging wells.

If you dig a few more wells in the field, you will be able to walk a few steps less when irrigating.

However, if you want to save more effort, you still have to dig the river.

For example, a small river can be dug next to the adobe brick road, so that the nearby farmers can save some effort.

And, of course, his own fields.

But digging the river needs to be notified to Jiang Zhi County, so they picked a not too hot day, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu went to the county seat to find Jiang Zhi County.

Jiang Zhi County has been very busy recently, he was not in Pingcheng when Li Qiao Taozhu went, he went to Yongxing County next door.

As the small essay written by the saint for the noodles spread, the big businessmen from other places smelled the business opportunities, and some of them had already come to Pingcheng to conduct field investigations.

Moreover, the big businessmen in Fucheng who sold vermicelli to other provinces also gave feedback, saying that although vermicelli is expensive, it sells well in other provinces.

Ordinary people must not be able to afford to eat, but the nobles and rich can afford to eat and are willing to eat.

In this case, the prefect wants to make a big move.

In the past, because the vermicelli could not be marketed, the prefect did not let the other four counties grow sweet potatoes on a large scale during the season of planting sweet potatoes.

Now that the vermicelli is not in good demand, the prefect has let the other four counties grow more sweet potatoes.

If the farmer's own field is planted with other crops, he will plant some in the vegetable field at home, in the wasteland that does not belong to the government.

It's not too late to plant at this time, and if you plant more, you can earn more money in winter.

After the sweet potatoes were planted, the prefect asked the other four counties to directly copy the experience of Pingcheng to build sweet potato workshops and select workers.

Therefore, Jiangzhi County had to go to the other four counties one by one for guidance.

After this year, vermicelli is not only a specialty of Pingcheng, but also a specialty of the entire Hexi Prefecture, representing the face of Hexi Prefecture, so whether it is Jiangzhi County or Mingzhi Prefecture, the requirements for sweet potato workshops and workers are very high.

But it's a pity that not every county is as ambitious as Jiang Zhixian and wants to make a career.

It's also good to be a magistrate, the soil emperor, as long as there is no big mistake, although he will not be promoted, he will not be down.

Therefore, Jiang Zhi County's guidance work in Yongxing County was not carried out smoothly, and it could have been completed in seven or eight days, but it was forced to drag on for more than ten days and did not return to Pingcheng.

Jiang Zhi County is not there, and Li Qiao Taozhu can only return to the village.

That's it, anyway, digging a river can't be dug in a day, so he's better focus on digging a well first.

Not only for their own family, but also for the village, so that the villagers can also save effort.

When Li Qian was busy looking for the well drilling team, Zheng Qianqian, who had just married Li Dashan for two months, became pregnant.

Got pregnant after two months of marriage, Li Dashan and Zheng Qianqian were very happy, just like Zheng Qianqian said when he was in Fucheng, he wanted to quickly have a baby with Li Dashan, so as to get a touch of Li Qian's joy.

Look, there's a baby.

Li Qiao can only say that these two people should become husbands, and after getting married, not only did they have a small life, but the child also appeared in such a timely manner.

Very satisfying.

But he and Tao Zhu are really not in a hurry, and they are now focused on digging wells, if the problem of irrigation is not solved, then there will be no bumper harvest of sweet potatoes in autumn.

Sweet potatoes can't be harvested, but it will affect his and Tao Zhu's income.
