Li Qiao also said with a smile.

"Huh? Those six teenagers are the Holy Rewards? Master Duan was shocked.

Several other officials nearby who were eavesdropping with their ears pricked up also gasped, the Holy Reward?

The saint's guards are only rewarded to the prince!

"Yes, Holy Reward. I have a bad temper and often have conflicts with others, and the Holy One is afraid that I will be beaten, so he specially gave him the guards he trained himself. ”

"Holy grace, toothless and unforgettable."

Li Qiao arched her hand in the direction of the palace as she spoke.

Lord Duan, including several nearby officials, was already dumbfounded, he was really the same style of the prince's guards!

Quan Dasheng is the only one, and they can't even give birth to the negative emotion of envy and jealousy, because this kind of holy favor is too far away from them, and at this time, there is no other reaction in their minds except exclamation.

Awesome, Master Li!

Lord Duan came back to his senses and congratulated Li Qiao with a smile, and now his personal safety is guaranteed.

Several nearby officials also congratulated them.

Li Qiao listened to their words and couldn't help but praise Sheng Hong's confidentiality work again.

The outside world does not know the specific process of the five princes' rebellion that night, others only know that he was promoted to an official because of his meritorious service that night, but the specific process of meritorious service is unknown to everyone.

Pretty good.

The fewer people who knew about that night, the better, lest he not be able to sneak up on him when he encountered such a situation again.

Li Qiao got the matter of the Holy Emperor's imperial guards, which set off a wave in the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military circles, including the nobles.

Everyone has a clearer understanding of Li Qiao's weight in front of Sheng Hong.

The prince has the same paragraph, except for the prince at this time, who would dare to provoke Li Qiao?

At the same time, everyone also knows that Lijia Logistics has changed its name and will become Royal Logistics in the future.

Royal logistics is royal logistics, it should be used as well, anyway, the price is cheap.

After the novelty faded, there were quite a few people using logistics in Shengjing City.

At this time, the way of ordering logistics has been changed, and Li Qiao has set up booths in some downtown areas, and everyone can place orders at the booth.

Morning, noon and evening, you can do it at any time, except for vegetables and meat, you can also transport other goods.

Some businesses, such as the Li family's hot pot shop, and some restaurants and restaurants, all use logistics.

You can let the logistics guys go grocery shopping, or you can let these guys deliver takeaways.

Occasionally, other merchants who do not have enough manpower or vehicles to transport goods will also find logistics.

But overall, it is still in a loss-making state.

But Li Qiao didn't care.

After Sheng Hong took over, Sheng Hong didn't care.

Speaking of subsidizing money, that Sheng Hong is too skilled, he began to subsidize the treasury with private treasury when he was not on the throne, and after he ascended the throne, he subsidized more.

Compared with the silver for raising officials and forbidden troops, this is completely drizzle.

Moreover, the prospect of his private treasury is no longer dark, because Li Qiao used a few seemingly simple small businesses to break through the darkness and let the sunlight in.

At present, several prefectures in the Gangnam area already have branches of royal dim sum shops.

Don't underestimate this snack, the ability to hold money is like that of a robber, which greatly alleviates his financial crisis.

And, of course, gambling houses.

After some discussion with his father, the Emperor, he decided to revise the regulations on gambling houses in the Dasheng Law.

According to the provisions of the existing law, only one gambling house is allowed in a city above the county level.

Starting from next year, there can be two gambling houses in a city above the county level, and this new gambling house can only be opened by his father, and only two ways to play are allowed to play bullies and sparrow cards.

This modification is bold.

If you don't do it well, you will create evil.

Therefore, even if the law is changed, it is only in the rich areas of the south of the Yangtze River for trial operation, step by step.

If there are signs of deviation, close the door immediately and correct it.

There is no way, to support such a big country, he is really under a lot of pressure.

For example, the recent weather, such an important weather as the autumn harvest, is rainy and annoying!

Li Qiao also felt annoyed, it was either cloudy or rainy for half a month, and the corn, millet and other miscellaneous grains that were recovered could not be dried and could only be covered, and if they were covered again, they would become moldy.

After half a year of hard work, I saw that I was only one step away from putting the grain into the granary, and the result was not beautiful!

It's hard for farmers.

In fact, when the water ability reaches level 5, it can extract water from objects, whether it is plants, animals, or even human beings, as long as it contains water, it can be extracted by relying on the ability.

But at the moment, Li Qiao's ability is only level three.

Moreover, even if he had risen to the fifth level, he would not dare to use it to absorb the moisture in the grain.

The only thing he could do now was pray that the weather would soon clear.

If it doesn't work, farmers can try to dry the grain on the kang.

This method wastes dry firewood and consumes manpower, and it depends on how the farmers choose, alas!

Meng Yue and Zhuang Wen are both from farmers' families, and they don't like this kind of weather, I don't know how Sanliu Village is doing, but I hope Sanliu Village will not suffer from this kind of weather.

Xin Zhi is the son of the Hou Mansion, compared with the sons of other families, he is already very sympathetic to the hard work of farmers, but in the end he is not from a peasant family, in this kind of weather, he pays more attention to his own greenhouse.

The weather was getting cold day by day, and his family's warm house had been repaired, so he invited Li Qiao to his house as a guest and experience his family's warm house by the way.

During this year, Li Qiao secretly tinkered with cement by repairing the warm house, but he did not dare to succeed, so as not to arouse Sheng Hong's suspicion.

The rainy weather never left, lasted for a full month, and when it cleared, the farmers suffered heavy losses, including Li buckwheat pottery bamboo.

Their husband and wife have a total of more than 600 acres of fields in Shengjing, and nearly half of the grain in these fields has been lost.

Sitting in the carriage back to the city, Tao Zhu frowned.

"The Holy Majesty will decree a tax reduction, right?" He hugged Li Qiao's arm and asked with a frown.

"Probably not, although the loss is close to half, but the tax is not heavy, the peasants will pay the taxes and life will be tight, but not starvation, after all, this is Shengjing, the peasants are richer than other regions, and there is surplus food at home."

Li Qiao said.

Of course, there is another reason that Sheng Hong is under great pressure, if he reduces taxes at every turn, what should Sheng Hong do?

Tao Zhu pursed his lips when he heard this.

It's not easy to be a farmer.

When he went back, he bought people and changed his name to Tiangong Zuomei!

The author has something to say:

Chapter 159 The Three Princes Donate Food, and there are many older youths

Although Dasheng has Mingjun and a variety of high-yield crops, the productivity is low at this time, and the yield per mu of grain is low, so the ability of ordinary farmers to resist risks is also low.

But this is Shengjing, and even if half of the grain harvested in the autumn is destroyed, the farmers will not be cornered.

Even in Sanliu Village before Li Qiao crossed, in addition to the best of the pottery tree and the original body, the rest of the people can withstand similar disasters, not to mention that this is at the foot of the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, Sheng Hong does not mean to be exempt from taxation.

The peasants can only consider themselves unlucky, except for scolding and scolding, and burning incense and worshiping the Buddha to beg God to reward their faces next year and stop wasting grain.

After half a year of hard work, it was clear that he was almost the last trembling, and he lost half of it directly, who doesn't feel distressed about this?

Sheng Hong did not reduce taxes, and Li Qiao and Tao Zhu decided to reduce them.

In Dasheng, farmers are generally divided into yeoman farmers and tenant farmers.

Homeymans are like Li Liangjia, who own their own land.

A tenant farmer is a farmer who has no land or only a small amount of land at home, and has to rent other people's fields to make ends meet.

All of Li Qiao's and Tao Zhu's fields in Shengjing were cultivated by tenant farmers, who had to pay not only taxes to the imperial court, but also rents to the owners of the fields they cultivated.

Under normal circumstances, after paying taxes and rents, the tenant farmer still has half or a third of the grain left.

For example, the small Zhuangzi of Sheng Hongxian, and the more than 80 acres of land purchased from the relatives of the Xin family, the tenants who rented these fields could still keep half of the grain in their hands after paying the rent and taxes.

But the British public exploitation of tenants is more ruthless, and the tenants in the British public mansion are busy all year round, and they can only be mixed up and fed-

This is because there are Sheng family father and son staring, if there is no Sheng family father and son staring, with the vicious greed of the British government, these tenants will definitely go to a dead end, just like the tenants of Daze Mansion and Yuanshan Mansion who rent the Lu family's fields.

According to Zhao Cun's investigation, the British government in Daze Mansion and Yuanshan Mansion not only used underground gambling houses to collect money, but also put the tenants of the Lu family in dire straits, these tenants not only could not eat enough as cattle and horses, but also bullied their wives and daughters, and dozens of lives were caused in the past few decades.

Now, Sheng Hong has rewarded Li Qiao with 500 acres of first-class land in Shengjing from the British government, and Li Qiao will not oppress the tenants like the British government.

He discussed with Tao Zhu and exempted all the tenants in the family from rent.

Anyway, his family is not short of this little rent.

Moreover, Tao Zhu really called Ren Yazi over, bought four more subordinates, and named them Tiangong Zuomei.

Mainly, there is a real need for housework in the family these days.

Now that Li Qiao is an official, he also has to take care of the two little cubs, so things like laundry, sprinkling, and sewing must be arranged for subordinates to do it.

When Li Yu was there before, plus Li He and Li Le, he could barely cope with these things.

Now that Li Yu has borrowed the dealer, the manpower is immediately tight. Therefore, this time, Tao Zhu deliberately chose people who are strong, able to do heavy work, and can also needlework.

As soon as Tiangong Zuomei entered the house, Tao Zhu immediately packed up the bedding needed for winter, dismantled it, cleaned the fabric, and then re-played the cotton to make a few new bedding.

The new futon is soft and comfortable to lie on.
