Listening to Tao Zhu's words, Li Qiao said: "This level of natural disasters, relying only on donations from the people, is indeed a little useless, disaster relief mainly depends on the imperial court to allocate grain." ”

"Then how much grain and silver will be spent on the imperial court's appropriation this time?" Tao Zhu turned his head to look at him, his face full of curiosity.

"Roughly calculated, according to the calculation of heads, if a person distributes 50 catties of grain, then a million people are 50 million catties of grain. If you have money, you will have to spend more than a million taels to purchase seeds, bricks, farm tools, etc., to say the least. ”

"This is the most basic disaster relief, if you want to give more to the people, then the food and silver money have to be doubled."

Of course, in the actual process, compensation will definitely be given according to the specific circumstances of each family's damage, but on average, it is almost this number.

The annual tax finally flowed into the Shengjing treasury, less than 30 million taels of silver a year, and this time the flood will cost almost one-tenth, no wonder Sheng Hong will ask the world for a way to fill the treasury in the examination hall regardless of his face.

To support such a large country, it is indeed impossible to support it without silver.

"Then our family is indeed very poor......

Tao Zhu looked down at the numbers on the ledger.

This time, I donated 220,000 taels out, and if I want to become a real Li million, I have to wait for next year.

"Let's buy more people, there are indeed too few people in the duck shop now, and they are not as good as Sanliu Village."

He looked at Li Qiao, his face full of determination to make money.

"It's definitely not as good as Sanliu Village, in Sanliu Village, we are all in response, and in Shengjing, we are nothing."

"If you buy more manpower, you'll be tired."

Li Qiao reminded him.

"If you're tired, you'll be tired, anyway, you'll be tired for a month or two, and it's good to wait for the newcomers you bought to be sensible."

Tao Zhu doesn't care about being tired.

To put it mildly, if there is any natural disaster in Dasheng in the future, he will definitely donate silver.

He has to make money faster than he can donate.

Tao Zhu made up his mind, Li Qiao would not stop him, there were indeed not many people in the family, so he needed to buy more people.

While Tao Zhu was busy picking people, on the other side, the Royal Toy Store opened.

The appearance of the scooter finally satisfied Sheng Hong.

The market for baby eating chairs and walkers is too small to open a shop, but scooters are a fun little thing that can be played by both adults and children.

This little thing alone is enough to support a store.

On the first day of the opening of the Royal Toy Store, the 500 scooters prepared by Sheng Hong and the Ministry of Industry were sold out in one morning.

A scooter costs five taels of silver, which is not cheap, but, who makes this thing interesting.

Sheng Hong first advertised in the royal dim sum shop for five days, and on the opening day of the toy store, people even let people play scooters in front of the store.

This is the best advertisement, where have the people of Dasheng seen this kind of small thing, some are not bad for money, and they can buy three or five in one go.

So, when the Han family caravan returned to Shengjing, the Li Gu family who came with them were very surprised to see those people playing scooters on the street.

It looks so funny.

It is worthy of Shengjing!

Li Dong grabbed the carriage door and hurriedly looked at Li Chunsheng in the carriage: "Dad, can I use my salary to buy that thing?" ”

"It's definitely expensive." Li Chunsheng frowned.

"I paid my wages to buy it." Li Dong emphasized.

"You're about to get married, you're not a kid anymore, you save up your wages and keep it to buy a house and buy a field, which is not more practical than that gadget?"

"Besides, your brother is also going to get married, Shengjing's house is expensive, he has to live in your uncle's house after he gets married, your uncle won't chase him, but in the end, he will have to buy a house in Shengjing in the future, if you have a lot of money and no place to make it, you will keep it for your brother to buy a house."

When it comes to Zhao Shen of Li Xiaxuan, Li Chunsheng's brows are furrowed and he can almost kill flies.

Why did you choose a man who didn't have anything, and I was worried about him.

Li Dong listened to his father's series of falls, stuck out his tongue, and stopped talking.

He continued to turn his head to look at the shops on both sides of the street.

After looking at it for a while, he couldn't help but scratch his head.

The shops on both sides look really expensive.

His brother picked a poor man, and if he wanted to buy a house, he should indeed sponsor some silver......

Those who came to Shengjing with the Han family caravan were not only the Li Gu family, but also Li Liang.

Li Liang learned that Tao Zhu was pregnant during the Chinese New Year last year, and this time Li Xia was going to get married, so he also came.

After the Han family caravan entered the city, they directly sent the Li family to Li Qiao's house.

It was just after noon at this time, Li Qiao was still in the Hanlin Academy, and there were only a few Tao Zhu people at home.

When relatives see each other, they are naturally teary-eyed.

Li Gu, Zhou Jingui, Li Chunsheng and his wife, Li Dong, the arrival of loved ones made Li Xia cry and laugh.

In fact, it has only been a year, but Shengjing and Sanliu Village are too far away, so far away that this year seems to be as long as three years.

Tao Zhu gave the main courtyard to their family so that they could say some intimate words, and he took the two cubs to the front yard.

Li Dashan Zheng Qianqian lives in the front yard, Li Dashan is busy in the shop at this time, only Zheng Qianqian and Li Xiaorui are there.

Li Liang didn't see his eldest grandson for a year, and he was very happy to see Li Xiaorui.

Seeing Li Changfeng and Li Yunfan, the two little fat friends, they were also happy to dance, and they praised Tao Zhu for raising the two of them very well.

"Your sister-in-law also wanted to come, but my second uncle and I both came, and the family and fields are inseparable from people, so your sister-in-law didn't come."

"Your third sister too, she wants to come, but the family can't do without people, and the dim sum shop is a trivial matter, but with such a big royal pen plaque, someone at home has to watch it."

"Chun Tao is born, he is a big fat boy, Tian Sheng is happy, he doesn't let go all day long, and he can't even care about reading books."

……

Li Liang happily talked about the current situation of the people in Sanliu Village.

All fine, everything was exceptional.

Soon it was time for Li Qiao to be on duty, and Li Dashan came back with an ox cart.

Tao Zhu took the two little cubs and went with Li Liang to pick up Li Qiao home.

When he was on duty, the liveliness at the gate of the inner city was far less lively than in the morning, but for Li Liang, a hillbilly, this scene was big enough, so many officials in official uniforms, and the officials he had seen in his life together did not see as many as at this moment!

If it weren't for Li Dashan sitting next to him, he would have been so frightened that he would have gotten under the ox cart.

Big officials, all big officials!

Soon, he saw Li Qiao walking slowly along the flow of people.

Li Qiao was wearing a scarlet official uniform, his back was straight, his steps were steady, and the sun fell on him, covering him with a dazzling halo.

The thin and wide official uniform in the summer could not hide his talent, and he stood out and young among a group of officials wearing various official uniforms, which was very eye-catching.

Seeing Li Qiao, Li Liang was still grinning at first, but tears flew out when he laughed and laughed.

Woo woo, even if his little buckwheat is mixed in a group of court officials, it is still the focus, and the glory of the ancestors is wow!

At this moment, even if he died, it was worth it.

After he returns to the village, he will blow for the rest of his life!

Li Qiao was also very happy to see Li Liang, and couldn't help laughing when she saw Li Liang crying a handful of snot and tears.

"Big brother, why don't you send me up and down in the future?"

"Huh?" Li Liang was stunned when he heard this, and after coming back to his senses, he immediately patted his thigh and agreed: "Okay!" ”

His little buckwheat is majestic, he has to take a look!

When I got home, the banquet of Baiwei Building had been delivered, and the family I hadn't seen for a year had a lively dinner.

I was afraid that Li Gu and his gang would not be accustomed to living in the new house and were afraid, so Li Qiao temporarily placed them in the courtyard where they currently lived, and squeezed some of them, anyway, they could live.

The next day, Li Qiao asked for leave.

His daily task now is still to read books, and since the last time Sheng Hong summoned him to the palace to ask which prince to send to the disaster relief, Sheng Hong has never summoned him to the palace again.

Anyway, it's leisure, so it's better to ask for leave, so that you can take your family to take a walk around the capital.

It's rare to come to the capital once, and you must have a good time.

After this play, Li Dong realized that the interesting gadget he saw when he entered Beijing was actually tossed by his uncle.

Now he was happy.

He didn't have to spend money to buy it and play.

His silver should sponsor his brother to buy a house first, Shengjing's house prices are so expensive!

After playing for a day, Li Gu and the others didn't want to play, they wanted to meet Zhao Shen.

This time I entered Beijing, mainly for the marriage of Li Xia and Zhao Shen, and this marriage was completed early, so that they could have fun.

This Zhao Shen was chosen by Li Xia himself, even if he was not satisfied, they could only admit it.

After seeing Zhao Shen, the dissatisfaction of Li Gu's family dispersed slightly, although he was younger than Li Xia, he looked quite stable.

In that case, let's get married quickly.

After getting married, Li Xia did not leave the Li family, and Zhao Shen had better stay in the Li family.

Of course, this is not a complication.

It's just that this Zhao Shen is clever and makes them a little uneasy, and Zhao Shen is not an ordinary person, he is a distant nephew of Lord Zhao, in order to prevent Li Xia from being wronged, they hope that Zhao Shen can stay in the Li family.

With Li Qian watching in person, Zhao Shen definitely didn't dare to live up to Li Xia.

Zhao Shen also has this intention.

He was just an errand runner in the Zhao Mansion, but Li Xia was Li Qiao's cousin, and he would definitely be more important to stay in the Li family than to stay in the Zhao family.

So, Li Qiao went to Zhao's mansion to visit Lord Zhao.

Lord Zhao released people happily, and his Zhao family did not lack a Zhao Shen.
