Zheng Qianqian is unwilling, how can chickens and geese run freely in a beautiful house like a painting?

These two animals poop in the open!

When Li Qiao learned about it, he waved his big hand and circled a very large corner, which was specially used to place chickens and geese.

With such a lively livestock, Tao Zhu saw this, so he simply opened another vegetable patch next to it.

It will take a long time for the house on the other side of the east courtyard to be built, but his hand that wants to grow vegetables and flowers is ready to move, and he can't wait.

He's going to plant vegetables and flowers now!

After cultivating the vegetable field, it was necessary to fertilize it with plant ash, and Li Xiaorui saw this process, so he curiously asked why.

Tao Zhu and Zheng Qianqian carefully told him what fertilizer and fertilization were, of course Li Xiaorui didn't understand, but not understanding it didn't delay him from imitating Tao Zhu's movements.

He's going to plant vegetables and flowers, too!

Pottery bamboo is more delicate, not directly sprinkled on the soil, but stirred the grass ash with the soil, and then spread it into the vegetable field.

Li Xiaorui did so, carrying a small wooden bucket to water the ashes of the grass and trees, and Li Qiao was overjoyed to see this scene.

Worthy of his good nephew!

So Li Qiao was very active in accompanying Li Xiaorui to play with plant ash, Li Changfeng and Li Yunfan, two little fat friends, also joined the game of living mud, Li Qiao guided step by step, and when he came to the last step, the day was early, and the four princes went to the palace to seek wisdom and discuss important matters with Sheng Hong.

This matter is indeed very important, when the words of the fourth prince fell, Li Qiao, who was sitting behind the screen and reviewing the folds, couldn't help but be stunned-

Sheng Hong's topic this time, the four princes chose to abstain.

"You abstained?"

Sheng Hong sat behind the imperial case and looked at his fourth son in surprise: "Mi'er, do you know what you're talking about?" ”

The name of the four princes is Sheng Zhimi.

"Yes. The son's decision was made after careful consideration. ”

The fourth prince looked calm and calmly explained the reason for his abstention:

He couldn't do that.

"Except for silver, there is no solution to this matter, but the son doesn't have much silver, and if he fights for money, he can't fight for the eldest brother or the sixth brother. That being the case, I simply abstained and didn't bother with it. ”

“…… You think about it again. ”

Sheng Hong was speechless for a moment, then stretched out his hand and nodded at him: "Do you want to be lazy?" Don't be lazy, you think about this matter for me seriously, if you can't think of it, then discuss it with someone else, it's only been a few days since you came to say that you abstained, you didn't take my request seriously at all. ”

"I won't allow you to abstain, you must give me a good solution."

As soon as these words came out, it was the turn of the fourth prince to be speechless, and he smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "Father, my son really can't think of other ideas." Moreover, the son's wharf is also going to be repaired, and the son is more interested in Jibei Province. ”

"Don't worry, I didn't ask you to give me an answer tomorrow. You just think about it, you can't be lazy until your other brothers' answers come out. ”

Sheng Hong looked serious.

The Fourth Prince: "......"

His own father has explained this, what can he do?

He can only be obedient.

After the four princes left, Sheng Hong shouted Li Qiao with a straight face: "Li Aiqing, you have made a particularly bad example to the people of the world, I really want to ask you about your crimes." ”

Li Qiao: "? ”

He made a panicked appearance, hurriedly walked out from behind the screen, and looked at Sheng Hong with a puzzled expression: "Shengshang, Weichen is panicked!" I don't know what mistake Weichen made? ”

"You're making the mistake of being opportunistic. I don't want to do my best, I just want to take one step more than my competitors, is this kind of atmosphere good? ”

"Tell me, should I punish you?"

Sheng Hong's face was still flat.

Li Qiao: "......"

Row horn.

Nor is it a sin to be added.

He made a look of annoyance and shame, lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt down: "Weichen is guilty, please punish the saint." ”

"I punish you for your guilt and meritorious service, and you also ponder this matter, and you are not allowed to be lazy until the answers of the other princes come out."

Sheng Hong said solemnly.

"Yes. The saint is generous, and Wechen is grateful, and Wechen will definitely do his best to think of a solution. ”

Li Qiao hurriedly thanked him.

"That's pretty much it."

Sheng Hong heard this, and his face finally softened.

And Li Qiao also breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that Sheng Hong would not really punish him, and he would make the grass and wood ash cement after he went home today.

However, this wonderful method cannot be taken out for the time being.

The Seven Princes had to stand still, and he couldn't disrupt the Seven Princes' plans.

As for the abstention of the four princes today, is this sincere?

The fourth prince did it on purpose to show him, right?

Everyone knows that he is close to the Seven Princes, he belongs to the camp of the Seven Princes, although it is said that the Seven Princes offended most of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, but now Sheng Hong has given specific rules for selecting the prince, in case the Seven Princes really solve the problem and get the Praise Decree, it is not impossible.

Therefore, is the fourth prince's move today to show him or do he really want to abstain?

Although he lived close to the Seven Princes, after getting off work, Li Qiao did not go to the Seven Princes' Mansion, but made the grass and wood ash cement according to the original plan.

Of course, after making it, he had to casually throw the cement aside as garbage, and wait for the hardness of the cement to come up two days later, and then perform in surprise and disbelief.

Li Qiao was ready to perform and went to work the next day.

There is no need to go to court today, Sheng Hong convened ministers to discuss matters, it is time for the wheat harvest again, and the progress of the Grand Canal, which he is extremely concerned about.

By the time the deliberations were over, it was already noon.

The Six Princes are here.

The sixth prince's name is Sheng Zhixu, he has a handsome face, but his figure is a little thin, and he is bookish, and he is also here for the tax grain into Beijing.

"Father, the son thought of a way to pave our official roads in Dasheng with adobe bricks, compared with blue bricks and bluestone slabs, the price of adobe bricks is low and easy to obtain."

"Of course, because of the vast territory of our Dasheng, we can't afford such a huge consumption with our son or the treasury alone, so my son has thought of another way."

"Huh? What's the idea? ”

Sheng Hong, who originally looked calm, heard this, and became interested.

Li Qiao, who was sitting behind the screen, also pricked up her ears.

The Six Princes thought of a solution so quickly?

The son came up with the idea that farmers everywhere could make adobe bricks while they were in forced labor. As a result, the expenditure of the state treasury is greatly reduced. ”

The sixth prince didn't sell it, and gave a direct answer.

Seeing that Sheng Hong frowned slightly when he heard this, he explained: "Father, in many places, the conscription is just a simple maintenance of official roads, digging rivers, etc., and my son thinks that he can make the peasants more diligent, first finish the work that was originally done, and then make adobe bricks. ”

"The production method of adobe bricks is very simple, farmers use local materials, only need a simple mold, plus drying, and do not need to be specially fired in the kiln."

"Every year, the servants make a batch of adobe bricks, and in less than ten years, the official roads of Dasheng can be turned into flat adobe brick roads."

"If there are not enough peasants, you can add garrisons from all over the country. It was also very easy for the garrisons to make some adobe bricks in the gap between training. ”

"What do you think?"

Sheng Hong: "......"

His eyebrows furrowed even more.

Li Qiao, who was sitting behind the screen, also frowned.

Use this method to lay a full set of adobe bricks for Dasheng?

Aside from cement, this is probably the most cost-effective and most likely way to achieve.

Adobe bricks are indeed low in price and easy to make, and if the people of Dasheng are called on to work together, then maybe they can really pave all the official roads of Dasheng with adobe bricks within ten years.

……

The idea of the six princes is a bit clever.

Danger Danger Danger!

He couldn't help but hold his breath, his ears pricked up, what would Sheng Hong's reaction be?

"Xu'er, your method sounds feasible, but I'll have to think about it again."

Sheng Hong slowly opened his mouth.

"This is natural, the matter is big, and my son suddenly thought of this method, whether it can be implemented or not, this has to be discussed by the ministers."

The six princes understood very well.

How can such a big matter be decided easily, it must be discussed repeatedly.

After the six princes finished speaking, they quickly retired, Sheng Hong pondered alone for a while, and turned his head to look at Li Qiao: "Li Aiqing, what do you think of Xu'er's method?" ”

Li Qiao walked out from behind the screen and said with a serious face: "It seems to be the most feasible way." ”

"Don't you have any better ideas?" Sheng Hong asked him.

"In addition to the adobe brick road, Weichen really can't think of a better way." Li Qiao looked ashamed.

Hearing this, Sheng Hong sighed softly.

Isn't.

He didn't have a better idea than that.

However, it was a great burden for the peasants to make adobe bricks during their forced labor.

In some places, the conscription is quite heavy, although there is no need to go to the battlefield to fight like the previous dynasty, but it is not a simple matter of tinkering with the official road to help the imperial court transport various materials and build large fortifications.
