This situation will definitely continue.

Li Qiao's guess was right, and the third prince jumped even more.

The third prince is the head of the ministry, and although it has just entered winter, the assessment of Dasheng officials by the ministry has begun.

Dasheng attaches great importance to the assessment of officials, with a small examination every year and a major examination every three years, and there are many assessment contents, involving all aspects of officials.

The process of assessment is mainly the official's self-reported performance + comments from the peak + the supervision of the Yushitai on weekdays.

These three parties were finally summarized in the Ministry of Officials.

In general, it is that the officials synthesize the information of the three parties, and finally give comments to the officials.

The third prince is in the ministry, which is convenient for contacting hundreds of officials, and he himself loves to make friends with officials, plus after the five princes are finished, he is busy winning over those who originally stood in line with the five princes, so he is busy with his feet not touching the ground, and he can't wait for a hundred hours a day so that he can pull the civil and military capital of the Manchu Dynasty to his side.

Now that there is no prince who can compete with him, which side do you want to stand on if you don't stand on his side?

Those who know the times are handsome.

Even Li Qiao, he also posted a post and invited Li Qiao to his mansion to attend the full moon banquet of his third son.

Li Qiao couldn't refuse, so she could only go.

Fortunately, he invited too many officials, and most of the Beijing officials were called, and there were too many people he needed to greet, so he didn't have time to contact Li Qiao that day.

After a huge full moon feast, the first snow of winter came.

The author has something to say:

Yes, the third prince finally has a name~

Chapter 161: The Three Princes' Disaster Relief Sledding

The snowflakes are small and disappear when they fall to the ground, but they are very cold because of the cold wind.

Li Qiao went out to work in the morning, Tao Zhu stood under the porch and glanced at the snowflakes that were swaying and falling, turned his head to Li Qiao and said, "Drink something hot at noon, right?" I'll have someone bring you some soup? ”

Li Qiao was tying the strap of his cloak, and when he heard this, he also glanced at the small snowflakes that had drifted into the corridor with the wind, and he shook his head and said, "No need, it's too troublesome on a cold day, and I'm going to Sheng Pingchang today, not in the household department." ”

After the autumn harvest, the autumn taxes from all over the country entered Beijing, and the household department was busy recently, so Sheng Hong asked him to deal with the affairs of the household department first, and temporarily suspended his ghostwriting position.

Therefore, his lunch was all a big pot of rice in Tobe.

But today he has to go out in the field.

He is now mainly responsible for checking the grain taxes and money taxes sent to the capital from all over the country.

Jibei Province is the closest to Shengjing, and the autumn tax of Jibei Province is the earliest.

Shengjing has five granaries and three major money warehouses, and he has to go to Shengping granary today to inspect the quantity and quality of autumn grain in Jibei Province.

"Oh, you're not in the household today."

Tao Zhu couldn't help but raise his hand and pat his forehead, Li Qiao mentioned it last night, and he forgot about it.

Just as a snowflake was blown down the verandah by the wind and landed on his forehead, he couldn't help but shiver.

Seeing this, Li Qiao held his hand, which was already a little cold: "It's cold outside, you wear thin clothes, don't freeze, go back to the house." ”

Tao Zhu shrunk his neck, but stepped forward and hugged him: "Then you come back earlier." ”

Being an official is really not as comfortable as the local lord.

Li Qiao knew that he felt sorry for himself again, smiled and hugged him, and then asked him to go back to the room, and when he closed the door and blocked the cold from the door, he wrapped his cloak and walked towards the front yard.

This kind of weather was automatically canceled in the early dynasty, and he didn't need to enter the palace to write a pen, he went directly to the household department.

went to his independent office to get the relevant information, and called Lang Zhong, the chief of the northern part of Shangji, and a few small officials, and the group went out of the inner city and headed towards Shengping, one of the five granaries.

This work is not complicated, but it takes time, it is dark when you go in, and it is still dark when you come out, but fortunately, after the thing is done, the autumn grain in Jibei Province has quality and quantity, and it is very qualified.

Li Qiao said goodbye to several other officials, and then walked home slowly on the bluestone road that had been dyed white by snowflakes.

When I got home, it wasn't even seven o'clock in the evening.

He sent Li Shou back early to report the news, so that the family did not have to wait for him, so the others had just had dinner at this time.

Li Qiao asked everyone to do what they should do, it's cold, let's go back to the room to rest.

I thought that the snow would not fall today, but after the ineffective snowflakes that had drifted for most of the day, the snowflakes suddenly fell in a hurry.

According to this trend, there is a lot of snow at night.

As Li Qiao thought, when he woke up the next day, the snow covered the whole world, washing away the night, and even in the house, he could see the faint light emitted by the snow outside.

The quilt was very warm, Tao Zhu's hands and feet were wrapped around him, and he immediately closed his eyes again, and he could squint for a second.

But today is not a day of rest, and after closing his eyes for less than five minutes, Tao Zhu woke up.

The two of them were tired of being on the bed for a moment, and then reluctantly got up in dress.

Last night's snow was quite heavy, and the snow in the yard was knee-high, so Li Qiao simply abandoned the car and walked to work.

In this condition, riding in a carriage is not much faster than walking.

However, by noon, the sky was snowing again, this time not with small snowflakes, but with goose feathers.

By the time Li Qiao got off work, the snow on the road had piled up to her knees again.

The snow kept falling, and it didn't stop until Li Qiao went home for dinner.

Fortunately, tomorrow Li Qiao will rest, and he will walk to work when it is still dark.

Therefore, Zheng Qianqian shouted to play cards again.

Li Qiao rarely goes to the table, and he has been very busy recently, and it is rare to be free, Li Xiaorui and the two little cubs are very clingy to him, crawling around on him, reluctant to let go of him.

He played with the three little ones with the blocks, but after a while, the three little ones fell asleep.

Today they have been playing in the snow for too long, and their energy is exhausted.

The three little ones slept, and Li Qiao got off the kang, came out of the bedroom, and came to the door of the main house in a few steps.

The door was opened, and a cold wind blew in.

In the courtyard, several people were clearing the snow.

The snow was falling all the time, and Li Qiao arranged for them to sweep the snow every half hour.

After staring at the six of them for a moment, Li Qiao closed the door.

I hope the snow will stop in the middle of the night, although the snow is a good year, but it has to be moderate, and more is a bad thing.

God seemed to hear his heart, and although the snow did not stop in the middle of the night, the goose feather snow turned into small snow particles.

When he woke up the next day to learn that the snow had not caused a disaster, he was much more relaxed.

After breakfast, Li Xiaorui was illiterate, but gathered around him and shouted to build blocks.

The two little cubs rarely saw him during the day, and they each held one leg of his hand and shouted Daddy and played with blocks.

"Let's not play with blocks today, let's play with a new one."

Li Qiao squatted down with a smile and pinched their little faces one by one.

"What's new?"

Li Xiaorui immediately asked, and his big eyes were already lit up.

"Sled."

Li Qiao didn't sell Guanzi: "I asked the Ministry of Industry to customize it a few days ago, it is the tiger and rabbit you love, if there is no accident, it can be delivered today." ”

"Wow!" Li Xiaorui exclaimed.

Although he didn't know what a sleigh was, his uncle and father had gone to the Ministry of Engineering to customize it, so it must have been fun!

Li Xiaorui wow, the two little cubs also followed "wow", they didn't know what a sled was, but the eldest nephew wow, they had to keep up as uncles.

Tao Zhu stood aside, looking at this scene with some amusement.

However, sledding?

"When did you go for customization? I haven't heard you mention it. ”

"I want to surprise you. Don't worry, we have some too, and I've ordered a few that can fit our adults. ”

Li Qiao said with a smile.

It snows every winter, and in the past, only he and Tao Zhu were not very interested in playing in the snow, but now there are three more little guys, and they are all lively and active, so he went to the Ministry of Industry to customize a sled.

Li Qiao's guess was right, at about ten o'clock in the morning, the people from the Ministry of Industry sent the sled, but because the people from the Ministry of Industry were doing this for the first time and were not very skilled, there was only a children's version at present.

The adult's sleigh will take several days to complete.

Li Qiao understands very well, Dasheng really didn't have this thing in the past, and it is normal for craftsmen to need to think about it more.

The children's sleigh is very cute, one is in the shape of a tiger and the other is in the shape of a rabbit, and the inside is very spacious, enough for Li Xiaorui and the two cubs to sit in.

This children's toboggan does not need a horse and can be pulled by human power.

It happened that the snow in the alley had not been cleared yet, so Li Qiao Taozhu and a group of adults carried sleds and took three little ones to play in the snow in the alley.

The three little ones had never seen such a funny toy, and after sitting in the sleigh, the smile on their faces never stopped.

Even a few neighbors in the neighborhood were attracted by the laughter and came out of their homes to stand in the alley to watch.

These neighbors knew that Li Qiao had no shelf, so they had the audacity to ask what it was.

Li Qiao replied with a smile, and also played a wave of advertisements by the way, it is estimated that the royal toy store will launch this kind of sleigh next month, and if you are interested, you can go and buy it.

The whole day was spent in the laughter of the three little guys, and when eating dinner, Zheng Qianqian couldn't help but say: "Uncle, do you want to send someone to the Ministry of Industry to urge?" That sleigh is so much fun. ”

"You can rush, but you can only play with snow, according to the speed of the Ministry of Works, when they send the adults' sleds, then this snow should almost melt."

"It's okay, let's get it first." Zheng Qianqian said and looked at Tao Zhu: "Uncle Zhu, did you say?" ”

Tao Zhu nodded lightly: "Yes." ”

He also wants to play......
