Although Li Qiao was wrapped thickly when he went to work every day, the carriage was not tightly sealed and leaked everywhere, so he used a skill that he had not used for a long time:

Ability Protector.

Thanks to Dasheng's long-term lack of major events, and the speed at which he approved the excerpts was much faster than at the beginning, from the beginning of summer to the present, he often left the palace at noon and returned to the household department for most of the past six months.

In the Ministry of Households, he has a separate office.

Through this private space, he can quietly cultivate his abilities.

With persistent practice, his ability is already level four.

In fact, when the ability reaches level 3, it can mobilize the energy in the body, and it can control the energy to travel in the body.

Energy travels through the body, which can eliminate fatigue and also resist the outside temperature.

However, at level 3, there is less energy that can be mobilized and lasts for a short time.

Now that his ability has reached level four, he can mobilize a lot of energy and is also durable, and when he is alone, he can basically keep his body at a constant temperature, not hot in summer, not cold in winter.

It's just that he only dares to use this method when he is alone, and if it is discovered by others, it will be a big trouble.

People, it's not good to be too famous.

Especially when he still lives in Shengjing, not only is the house close to the palace, but there are also personal guards who are full of tricks and losses, and they are not tired of learning.

Although it was said that Sheng Hong had already made it clear when he rewarded people, these personal guards would only be loyal to him in the future, and Sheng Hong himself would not keep in touch with these people, just like the personal guards of several princes.

But he was not at ease.

These personal guards have been with him for too short, he is not a prince, if he has no abnormality, it is fine, if he really shows illogical weirdness, will these personal guards not see it?

It was precisely because of this concern that he only dared to send Li Dao and Li Mao to keep an eye on Gao Zhiyuan.

Now Tao Zhu doesn't go to the plaster workshop to be a recruitment manager, and he has no legitimate reason to support the people who are full of Zhao Qian and others.

With these people with him to and from work, he can't disappear into thin air for a while to catch people.

He originally wanted to kill Gao Zhiyuan, but as soon as the Hu people committed the incident, he changed his mind, and he wanted to interrogate Gao Zhiyuan even more, so as to force out the matter of his previous life from Gao Zhiyuan's mouth.

However, he is not anxious now.

Because listening to what Li Dao said, Gao Zhiyuan has made a big move recently.

Gao Zhiyuan recently entered the city, and he didn't want to try to get close to the Six Princes, but went to the bookstore.

Gao Zhiyuan didn't go to the bookstore to study hard for the imperial examination, nor did he take some copy books to support his family, he was reading some Taoist books.

Once, he even went to a Taoist priest to tell his fortune.

Gao Zhiyuan's behavior should not be to be a Taoist priest, Gao Zhiyuan should be to pretend to be a god.

can't get close to the six princes, and even if they do, they definitely can't tell the six princes about their previous lives directly.

The best way to do this is to pretend to be a magic stick.

If you really become a Taoist priest who "can pinch and calculate", no matter what kind of words you speak, you can explain it.

Gao Zhiyuan's move was indeed beyond Li Qiao's expectations.

Gao Zhiyuan's mother and son had a very bad time, this winter was too cold, and a lot of dry firewood and charcoal were needed to keep warm, and there were too many buyers, and the prices of both of them had risen a little.

Ordinary people are reluctant to spend money, and the number of people who suffer from frostbite or even freeze to death in Shengjing City is much higher than last year.

The lives of the people at the bottom of Shengjing are so difficult, let alone outside Shengjing.

Gao Zhiyuan often runs to Shengjing City, and he doesn't pay much attention to the main business of Niutou Village, and if he doesn't care about the main business, he earns less money.

In order to make a living, Chen Yinhaira can only work by his mother, collecting firewood, going into the city to sew clothes for others, washing clothes, etc., Chen Yinhaira does all kinds of work.

At this winter's temperature, how difficult it is to wash clothes, listening to Li Dao, Chen Yinjia has frostbite on his hands and face, which is very scary to look at.

But Gao Zhiyuan didn't seem to see the hard work of his mother, he only wanted to be a god, and he didn't mean to shoulder the burden of supporting his family.

And Chen Yinjian is also accustomed to Gao Zhiyuan, a son who is almost thirty years old, and relies on the big cakes painted by Gao Zhiyuan every day to satisfy his hunger.

To be honest, Li Qiao was worried that Gao Zhiyuan hadn't had time to become a god stick, and the mother and son would freeze out something bad first.

He really wants to see Gao Zhiyuan live now, but he is almost thirty years old but he changed his career to become a Taoist priest, and he doesn't know what surprises Gao Zhiyuan can give him.

He asked Li Dao to keep an eye on Gao Zhiyuan even more.

In previous years, there were officials who asked for leave, but this year it was cold, it was not suitable to go far, and no one in the Manchu Dynasty asked for leave.

After Laba, the atmosphere of the New Year rises.

The Li family began to prepare for the New Year.

At the same time, they also began to prepare for the return of Zhuang Fengshou, Zheng Butcher, Meng's father and Meng's mother to their hometowns next year.

The reason why we prepared so early was because it involved the greenhouse and cement.

This winter, Zheng Qianqian has been chattering countless times, fortunately he lived in a warm house this year, otherwise, Li Erbao and Brother Tanger's two little babies would be difficult.

Shen Hua didn't have a warm house to live in, and Shen Hua was envious of the Li family's warm house, but he couldn't live in the Li family, so he could only repeat it every day and repeat that he would definitely repair the warm house next year.

All he could do this year was to keep the kang burning for twelve hours a day, and a charcoal pot in the house so that the temperature in the room would not be too low.

Li Liang and Wang Guihua, who are accustomed to hard days, also feel that this winter is a bit ridiculously cold.

Although the two of them live in a conservatory, their hearts are concerned about Sanliu Village.

Li Liang talked a lot, and Li Qian was also worried about Sanliu Village.

After the spring of next year and the warm weather, Zhuang Fengshou, Meng's father and Meng's mother, Zheng Tuhu and others are all going back to Sanliu Village.

Li Qiao planned to arrange a few craftsmen to go back with them, and arrange the conservatory for Li Gu, the Zheng family, the Shen family, Bai Yu, Li Dazhong and others.

Although the greenhouse uses a lot of dry firewood, Li Gu is old, Li Chuntao also has children, Zheng Qi Shiju and his wife, Zheng Guang and Zhao Tingfu all have children, and these people need to warm the house.

When Li Liang and his party set off for the capital, Bai Yu became pregnant.

Next year, the white pomelo will definitely need a warm house.

After the Shen family and his wife returned home, they definitely wanted to live in a conservatory.

In this case, it is better to bring the craftsmen who can build greenhouses back to Heijo. But these craftsmen are all people from Shengjing, and if they let the family go to Pingcheng to repair the warm house, they naturally have to give people time to consider and prepare.

In addition to the greenhouse, there is also cement.

Li Qiao had already reported to Sheng Hong, and Sheng Hong praised him for paying his own money to build roads in Pingcheng, and allowed him to hand over the cement preparation method to Zhuang Fengshou, so that it would be convenient for Pingcheng to repair cement roads.

Recently, Zhuang Fengshou came to Li's house every day to learn how to make grass and wood ash cement.

Previously, Sheng Hong was worried that starting a war with the Hu people would cost a lot of silver, so he decided to sell cement to ordinary people.

Sheng Hong's method of selling cement is very simple, he sells cement slurry directly, and people buy cement slurry back and mix it with sand to build ramparts and walls. Of course, if you don't want to mix sand, it's all up to you.

The cement slurry is 20 yuan a catty, which is actually more expensive than adobe bricks.

But in the past six months, the spacious and flat cement road outside the city, as well as the cement roads built by Li Qiao for his own Zhuangzi, have already convinced the people of Shengjing.

If you are more expensive, you will be more expensive, and there are more advantages.

What's more, it's not very expensive, and it's bought back and mixed with sand and soil in a one-to-one ratio, and the small yard is covered with one, which is a matter of a few taels of silver.

Many people in Shengjing are willing to spend this money.

Cement sales are booming, so the road construction is suspended.

Artisans have to be busy making cement.

It just so happened that this winter has been very cold, the land is frozen, and there is no way to build roads, so Sheng Hong is really selling the right cement.

But Sheng Hong's recent mood is average, this winter's business in the hospital is booming, and nearly 100 beggars and poor people have frozen to death.

On the fifteenth day of the lunar month, officials officially took a holiday.

Li Qiao did not have a holiday, last year Li Qiao approved the excerpts that Sheng Hong needed a month to process within half a month, Sheng Hong tasted the sweetness, and let Li Qiao work harder.

What is the summary of the work of each yamen, the New Year's greetings of officials from all over the country, and the performance appraisal forms of officials in the ministry, etc., he pushed them to Li Qiao.

So Li Qiao was busy until the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month.

However, this New Year is unprecedentedly New Year's flavor, and the house is also unprecedentedly lively, and when it comes to the first day of the new year, the Zhuang family, Xu Ying and Shen painting Shen family couple, and the Meng family all come to play, and the laughter in the house has not stopped.

Tao Zhu kept smiling on his face, this is the New Year, he has few families, and the previous New Year's Holidays were too lonely.

After the Lantern Festival, the New Year is over.

It was already spring, and at this time of the year, the sun was always hanging in the sky, and although it did not have much power, some diligent farmers would go down to the fields to irrigate, so that the crops in the fields would not dry up.

But after the Lantern Festival this year, the temperature has not been high, and in mid-February, when Zhuang Fengshou, Zheng Butcher, Meng's father and Meng's mother and others left, the weather was still quite cold.

Li Qiao originally wanted to let them stay for a while and wait for the weather to really warm up before leaving, but these people have been out for more than half a year, and they have long been worried about everything at home.

Li Qiao could not persuade them, so he could only ask the people of the royal logistics to escort them back to their hometown.

It wasn't until the third lunar month that the weather really warmed up.

At this time, Gao Zhiyuan, who had studied Taoist books for half a year, finally learned something, and he began to tell fortunes in Niutou Village.

I also went to the villages near Niutou Village, including the town, to set up a stall to tell fortunes.

He did not enter the city of Shengjing, but only moved in the countryside.

But it was this kind of behavior that finally made Li Dao discover a strange place, this Gao Zhiyuan's previous hard work was not in vain, it seems that he really mastered the skill of fortune telling, and he gained a few faithful believers in just half a year.

Li Dao occasionally found that Gao Zhiyuan actually sent a letter to each of these believers that he could only open if he had an accident.

Chapter 193: Gao Zhiyuan's Followers Gao Zhiyuan's letter and pamphlet

In the golden autumn of September, the fragrance of osmanthus is wafting.

coincided with Li Qiao's rest, and Li Erbao and Brother Tangerine were also older, so Li Qiao took the family to the chrysanthemum garden to enjoy the flowers.

The chrysanthemum garden of the great prince is still very beautiful, there are many tourists, and there are large patches of flowers all over the mountains with the blue sky, which is so beautiful that it makes people feel refreshed and happy.

After appreciating the flowers in the chrysanthemum garden, tasting the flower banquet, drinking the chrysanthemum wine, the group stepped on the sunset and rode back to the city in a carriage.

After the cement road was repaired, the road back to the city was much faster, and it was not dark when I entered the city.

After a day of playing, except for Li Xiaorui, who was five and a half years old, the remaining four children fell asleep tired.
