Originally, the three princes wanted to donate some food in addition to the dry food brought by the people + some grain from the imperial court, according to the one-month construction period, according to the number of people who served in the Shengjing area in previous years, the three princes did not pay much.

But I just bumped into Sheng Hong and had another plan!

That's really not good luck.

Luck is also part of strength, the luck of the three princes is so bad, the throne is definitely not the third prince.

Chapter 160: The Three Princes' Good Reputation Spreads Widely The Three Princes' momentum is unstoppable

But apparently the third prince doesn't think so.

After promising to donate 50,000 taels of silver and 500,000 catties of miscellaneous grains, the third prince ran extremely diligently to the palace of seeking talents, and almost every day he had to ask about the progress of Tongzhou.

The money is out, the food is donated, and this good reputation must be recovered.

Especially the silver was given to Zhou Zhengye!

He had tried to win over Zhou Zhengye before, although Zhou Zhengye was his eldest brother's uncle, but his eldest brother was a waste.

Since the boss has no hope, then he should let go of the connections in his hand, so that when he ascends the throne in the future, he will definitely think of the good of the boss and the Zhou family.

But who knew that Zhou Zhengye was so old-fashioned, as if he didn't understand his overtures, the invitations he sent out were all rejected because the affairs of the military department were busy.

He is a dignified third prince, and he has never asked anyone out once!

Why doesn't he hate?

It's clear that he didn't take him, the third prince, in his eyes!

But this time, he was forced to donate 50,000 taels of silver to Zhou Zhengye, which really hurt him.

He can't be rebuffed for nothing, he must get his reputation back!

This time, he not only wanted to let his father know that he had changed now, but also let the people know that his third prince, Sheng Zhiyan, was a good prince who understood the people's feelings and was dedicated to the people.

Now that Sheng Zhiang is finished, this prince ...... It must be him, right?

Who can still compete with him?

The eldest is directly out, the second child has no ability to compete with him, and Xiao Qi has already offended half of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces.

The fourth brother and the sixth brother can wrestle with him.

However, the two had no intention of competing for the throne, did not make much friends with courtiers, and did not like to be in the limelight.

So, who else but him can become the crown prince?

No one!

Even God was helping him, and after Sheng Zhiang was finished, a natural disaster came directly.

It is true that the people have suffered a great loss, but their homes will not be completely destroyed, and the disaster is just right.

He can bear this level of natural disasters, and I hope that there will be similar natural disasters in the future, so that he can show his skills.

When the three princes maximized the value of 50,000 taels of silver and 500,000 catties of grain, Li Qiao's small life returned to the past:

Write all day long.

He finished reading the household information, but he had no clue how to fill the treasury, Sheng Hong saw this, and arrested him as a strong man. Moreover, because there are many courtiers who come and go every day in the Seeking Virtuous Palace, Sheng Hong also deliberately used a screen to separate a small space for him, so that he could concentrate on criticizing and folding.

Yes, the fact that he can independently criticize and fold is still known to only a few people around Sheng Hong.

But there is still a difference between now and in the past, in the past, he was a ghostwriter, even if he could independently review the recitals, Sheng Hong didn't talk much about government politics with him.

Now that he has been promoted, Sheng Hong suddenly likes to discuss the affairs of the DPRK and China with him.

It's not just the affairs of the household department, but all kinds of affairs in the six departments, as long as Sheng Hong is interested, he will pull him to discuss a few words.

For example, in the assessment of the Ministry of War, all 100,000 people were assessed, and more than 5,000 people were finally screened out, half of whom chose to return to their hometowns and transfer to the local area, and half chose to enter the royal logistics.

Sheng Hong divided the royal logistics into two, one part was used to run daily errands and deliver goods, and the other part was to impose training.

Li Qiao's original intention in setting up logistics was to escort his silver into Beijing, and these forbidden troops could not be neglected in training.

Moreover, when the Grand Canal is completed and opened to traffic, it is necessary to set up a department dedicated to the affairs of the Grand Canal.

coincided with the start of the construction of the Grand Canal in Tongzhou, so Sheng Hongai and Li Qiao talked about the training of the forbidden army and various matters of the Grand Canal.

Now Sheng Hong does not hide Li Qiao, and truthfully informs the training methods of the forbidden army.

The daily training of the forbidden army is horseback riding, archery, wrestling, weight-bearing, formation, and memorization of various flags - after going to the battlefield, the general wants to command the small soldiers, but it is impossible to rely on roaring, and there is no communication tool here, so he can only use the flag to issue orders.

Sheng Hong told the truth, Li Qiao inquired about what the real battlefield was, and then "pondered" for a few days, racking his brains, and after a performance, he gave his advice.

In fact, the training methods of the Dasheng Forbidden Army are already very perfect, and relying on these training methods, it is enough to deal with the war at this time.

There were no hot weapons here, and the soldiers went to battle with cold weapons when they went to battle.

Cold weapon combat relies on endurance, speed, and strength.

Therefore, Li Qiao's advice is simple: increase the physical training of the forbidden army.

He couldn't give a more brilliant way, there is no shortcut to training.

Strengthen your soldier's fitness under other items to make it to the last point on the battlefield.

When Sheng Hong heard his answer, he could only sigh, Li Aiqing is not omnipotent after all, and he can't give him one trick after another like dim sum.

But this proposal also makes sense, and he arranges it for the forbidden army first.

Li Qiao met Sheng Hong's disappointed eyes, her face was ashamed, but she was actually at ease.

The combat strength of the Forbidden Army and the Guards is actually good, and he really can't do any tricks.

As for weapons, he would have made earth-powder, but it wasn't necessary.

In addition to the holy grace, earth gunpowder will also arouse suspicion, and now there is no war in Dasheng, so there is no need, it is really unnecessary.

In addition to the training methods of the forbidden army, there is also the Grand Canal.

The Grand Canal has become the first major thing in Sheng Hong's heart, and he is looking forward to the completion of the Grand Canal as soon as Li Xiaorui waits for a tiger scooter.

But building the Grand Canal is much more difficult than making a tiger scooter, and he can't see the real thing in a short time, so he can only live by his mouth.

For example, Li Qiao mentioned in the article on the college examination that the repair of the Grand Canal may bring about all kinds of drawbacks, just like the three princes almost every day to the palace of seeking talent, he almost every day to discuss with Li Qiao how to prevent those ills.

However, he was too eager for the Grand Canal to be navigable soon, and he couldn't suppress the restlessness in his heart just by imagining and by mouth!

chose a good weather, and he paid a private visit again.

This time, he not only took the guards with him, but also Li Qiao.

Tongzhou Wharf is located in the southeast of Shengjing, about seventy miles away from Shengjing, but Shenghong is not in a hurry, and sets off after dawn slowly.

The road was not easy to walk, and the group arrived at the construction site at noon.

All the projects on the construction site were carried out in an orderly manner, the people who served in the conscription performed their duties, and the officials in charge were strict, but they did not beat and scold the people.

Sheng Hong was very satisfied with this private visit to Weifu, he did not stay at the construction site for long, and soon took people away.

But by this time the day was short, and by the time they entered the city, it was already dark.

When Li Qiao returned home, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and the others had returned to the house after dinner, and Tao Zhu was still waiting for him in the room.

Seeing him come back, Tao Zhu immediately asked Li He to go to the kitchen to bring the food.

"Why did you come back so late?" Tao Zhu asked as he picked up the kettle from the stove and poured water for him to wash his hands and face.

"I followed the saint to Tongzhou today, and the saint didn't mention it yesterday, and I only found out after entering the palace."

Li Qian explained.

"Is the Holy Lord finally holding back?"

Tao Zhu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

He knew Sheng Hong's desire for the Grand Canal.

"Yes, I can't help it, I have to see it with my own eyes."

Li Qiao also smiled, and said while putting his hand into the copper basin: "Everything is fine on the construction site, it was almost noon when we arrived, and the saint took a look at the workers' lunch by the way." ”

"Lunch is pretty good, there is not much oil and water, which is equivalent to boiled fried shredded radish, freshly steamed multigrain cakes, much better than the hard-to-swallow old wild vegetable food in Sanliu Village. Moreover, while eating, those people chanted the kindness of the three princes. ”

Thinking of the scene at noon, Li Qiao's expression became playful again.

"Huh?" Tao Zhu was puzzled, handed him the pancreas, and asked in his mouth: "Talking about the kindness of the third prince?" ”

"Yes, there are three hundred people on the construction site, and the saint has walked around several stoves one after another, and they have heard that the people are praising the kindness of the three princes, and they can understand their difficulties, and they are rare to see the prince who is close to the people."

"The purpose of the three princes has been achieved, although there is a little blood, but they have indeed earned a good reputation."

Tao Zhu pursed his lips as he spoke.

The silver and grain of the three princes were not spent in vain.

He was a little upset.

He didn't want the third prince to be the next emperor of Dasheng.

"At that time, the saint's face was as usual, but Lord Li, a member of the Ministry of Works, took the initiative to explain the reason, it turned out that the third prince was really dedicated to the people, and he went to the construction site once every three days, and every time he appeared at the construction site with the car of the grain transportation team."

"He himself never said anything, but when the personal guards and eunuchs around him handed over and contacted the people on the other side of the construction site, they would loudly emphasize how much the three princes cared about the people, and what they originally only planned to send grain this time, but the three princes couldn't bear the people to eat wild vegetables, so they specially bought fresh radishes and cabbage."

"So, the people on the construction site remembered the three princes."

Li Qiao said, took the cotton towel handed over by Tao Zhu and wiped his hands, with a hint of sarcasm on his face: "He spent a penny and made a move of a hundred wen." ”

“…… What does the Holy One say? Although Tao Zhu doesn't look down on this kind of behavior, the key is how the saint sees it.

"The Holy One didn't say anything."

But Sheng Hong shouldn't look down on this kind of behavior, right?

Sheng Hong Shengjun and his son raised Dasheng's officials, and occasionally had to subsidize silver in the treasury, but did the father and son say anything?

Not to mention ordinary people, even he only knew about it when he became an official.

However, even if Sheng Hong didn't look down on this kind of behavior, he would not deliberately summon the three princes to the Seeking Talent Hall for education.

At present, the five princes are finished, the other princes are not coming out, and the three princes have no opponents, so they can't just jump hard.
