"School starts after the Lantern Festival."

No way, there are too many people signing up.

Unlike the previous school that specialized in training barefoot doctors, this school has no threshold, regardless of whether you are literate or not, people over the age of six and under the age of twenty can come and sign up.

Not only does it provide a lunch, but it also doesn't charge for it.

Not only to teach reading, but also to teach craft.

What's more! After three years, the package will be allocated!

What a good thing!

For the children of poor families, this is completely pie in the sky.

Originally, some parents were reluctant to let their children go to school, and the children of the poor were in charge early, even if they were five, six, seven or eight years old, they could cook at home and do all the housework they could, and those who were a little older could go out to work to earn money.

But if you go to the school, there is no one to do the housework at home, and there is one less person to earn money.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Qiao's conditions were too generous, some parents would really be reluctant to send their children to the school.

Now I only need to stay in the school hall for three years, and after I come out, I can work for Li Qiao and the imperial court, so even short-sighted parents are willing to send their babies over to sign up.

In this way, Li Qiao Taozhu has to be screened well.

The space is limited, each family can only accept one child, and if the family is good, the school will not accept it.

When Li Qiao and Tao Zhu were busy with the school, Li Qiao also hung up a wooden sign at the door of his shop to buy cotton.

If he wants the farmer to grow more cotton, then he must find a way out for the cotton, and it happens that the cotton is good for storage, so he buys the cotton in his own name, and when the weather is cold in the future, the rich man can't donate enough clothes, then he will donate this batch of cotton.

This is a trivial matter, and he did not report it to Sheng Hong.

However, Sheng Hong took advantage of his entry into the palace to write and asked him about it.

After listening to his explanation, Sheng Hong couldn't help but sigh: "Li Aiqing, you can really worry about me." ”

If all the officials in the world are like Li Aiqing, how much worry can he save!

"Wechen was able to come to Shengjing from Sanliu Village, mainly because of your protection, and Wechen naturally wants to share your worries and solve problems."

Li Qiao made a grateful look.

"I love to hear that."

Sheng Hong couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, but soon he said again: "Speaking of which, it's time for Ming Aiqing, the prefect of Hexi Mansion, to move." ”

"Ming-sama?"

Li Qiao was surprised.

"Yes, he has been in Hexi Mansion for more than ten years, and now the situation in Hexi Mansion is quite stable, he has handed me a good performance sheet, and he is going to take a step forward."

When Li Qiao heard this, she couldn't help but be overjoyed: "I don't know where Lord Ming is going to go?" ”

"It just so happens that the governor of the two provinces of Jidong is waiting for Aiqing to return to his hometown, so Caritas will be the governor of the two provinces."

Li Qiao: "! ”

His eyes widened instantly.

Ji, refers to the province of Jibei.

Dong refers to the province of Dong Son.

The governor of the two provinces, that is, the military and political power in the two provinces, from the second grade!

Although the official position is one level lower than that of the six Shangshu, the emperor is far away, not in Shengjing, so he does not have to accompany the king every day, nor does he have to go to the court.

There were only five governors in the entire Dasheng, and now the Governor Mansion has become one of them.

The prefect of the Ming Prefecture has jumped directly from the prefect of the first province of the fourth grade to the feudal official of the second grade!

"Holy Wisdom!" He couldn't hide his excitement.

The Governor's Mansion has protected the peace of Hexi Mansion for ten years, and has also made the people of Hexi Mansion rich, and now he is soaring, he is really happy for the Governor's Mansion!

But Sheng Hong stared at his face for two seconds, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Look at you happy, you have a good relationship with Caritas Qing?" ”

Li Aiqing was a little too happy, look, his smiling eyes narrowed into a slit, he rarely saw Li Aiqing smile so happily.

How happy to be like this?

He doesn't like officials to form cliques for personal gain.

Li Aiqing should be his pure minister obediently.

"Except for the correspondence between Weichen and Lord Ming during the New Year, there is no correspondence on weekdays. When Wechen's name has not yet reached you, Lord Ming gave Wechen a lot of protection. Moreover, on the way to the imperial examination, Lord Ming also instructed Weichen several times. ”

"Lord Ming has a great favor to Wechen, and Lord Ming also has a great kindness to Wechen's hometown father, and now that he is promoted, Wechen is happy for him."

Li Qiao explained unhurriedly.

When the noodles were just showing their great potential, he was worried that the huge amount of silver would be coveted by the officials of the prefecture.

It was the wisdom of the prefect who dispelled his worries.

In addition, it was the Ming Prefecture that promoted the noodles from Pingcheng to the remaining four counties, making the farmers of the entire Hexi Province rich.

The governor was also cautious enough, and did not rush to save political achievements with vermicelli at the beginning, but after confirming that the vermicelli was exported, the response was good, and the vermicelli was marketable, so he was ready to do a big job.

Moreover, there was also an accident in the middle of the leakage of the vermicelli recipe, if it weren't for the fact that the prefect immediately interrogated a group of officials in Yongxing County and chased back a few merchants who bought the vermicelli recipe, the vermicelli recipe would have leaked to other areas.

In the imperial examination, the Ming Zhifu named him as the head of the case, and he knew everything about him in his studies and as an official.

On the vermicelli, not only did he ensure that every penny of his money could fall into his pocket, but also made the entire Hexi Mansion rich.

He was genuinely grateful to the Governor's House.

A good official should be promoted to the power of the two provinces!

"That's a good point. Caritas Qing is not only capable, but also visionary, and more ambitious, and it is indeed his credit that Hexi Mansion has today. ”

Sheng Hong couldn't help but nod with satisfaction when Li Qiao said this.

Very good.

He didn't want Li Aiqing to cut off contact with his benefactor, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and it is good for Li Aiqing and Caritin to maintain their existing contacts.

"However, Caritin Aiqing went to another place, and the position of prefect of Hexi Mansion ......" Sheng Hong said and looked at Li Qiao: "Li Aiqing, do you have any favorite candidates?" ”

"The saint laughed, how can Weichen have any favorite candidates, the right to promote and promote Dasheng officials is only in your hands, Weichen has never thought about these things on weekdays."

Li Qian made a panicked look and quickly shook his head.

"What you said is good, but you have done a lot of government affairs in the Ministry of Officials, and you have also read a lot of Dasheng's official performance list, don't think about it, I just asked you to give a suggestion, after all, this is your hometown."

"I didn't think about it before, so I think about it now."

Sheng Hong waved his hand, signaling that Li Qiao did not need to panic.

But where would Li Qiao intervene on this sensitive issue, one of the reasons why the five princes and the three princes disgusted Sheng Hong was to interfere with the promotion of officials.

He still looked frightened, and continued to shake his head: "Shengshang, although Hexi Mansion is Weichen's hometown, it is also your country, don't embarrass Weichen, Weichen has no courage or heart to think about this matter." ”

"Hey, you're being cautious."

Sheng Hong snorted.

"This is not the responsibility of Wechen, Wechen can't interject."

Li Qiao continued to shake her head very firmly.

"Okay, then I think about it, the current situation of the prosperity of the people in Hexi Mansion is a miracle, and I can't let the next prefect be ruined."

Sheng Hong saw that Li Qiao was really unwilling to get involved in this issue, so he stopped the topic.

Alas.

It's hard to be an emperor.

Li Aiqing is capable, one person can be ten people, he is happy.

But he was also afraid that his reuse would make Li Aiqing lose some of the proper conduct of a courtier, so that he would have some excesses in some aspects.

This is something he never wants to see.

He encouraged the students of the world to shift their attention from the books of sages to the people, and he had all kinds of problems to force the students of the world not to be nerds but to be all-powerful people, and he was not afraid that he would force out a fierce man who could overthrow his great prosperity in the south of the Yangtze River.

However, although he is not afraid that a fierce man will fall from the sky to take away his country, if this fierce man is Li Aiqing, he can't accept it emotionally.

Since he first heard Li Aiqing's name, it has been almost ten years now, and he has regarded Li Aiqing as half a son-

When choosing an heir, Li Aiqing's future situation will be considered, but it is not just half a son.

has finished the two own sons, Li Aiqing's half of the son, or the half of the son who can't compare to the two own sons together, how precious is this?

He really didn't want to see Li Aiqing touch his thunder point.

Fortunately, Li Aiqing was able to carry it clearly.

It should be rewarded.

Moreover, the miracle of the people of Hexi Province getting rich originated from Li Aiqing.

Thinking so, he said: "Li Aiqing, during this period of time, you have spent a lot of effort and money for the court and the people, so let's do it, there are many ownerless wastelands in Weiqing County, and I will reward you with a thousand acres of first-class land." ”

These words came suddenly, and the turn was too big, and Li Qiao couldn't help but be stunned: "Ah? ”

"Ahhhh Is it too little? Then I will reward you with another 1,000 acres of first-class land. ”

Looking at Li Qiao's confused and innocent appearance, Sheng Hong was inexplicably a little weak-hearted.

Li Aiqing is pure, good, sincere and loyal, he suspected Li Aiqing just now, it really shouldn't be.

“！”

Li Qiao was not stunned for a moment, and quickly picked up the hem of her clothes and knelt down to thank her: "Holy Lord!" Wechen is not too little, Wechen is just surprised. ”

"Don't be surprised, I can see your performance in Suri, the land in Weiqing County is not valuable, even if you give you 2,000 mu, it is not worth much silver."

"You are dedicated to serving the people and the court, and I must reward you, so that all the officials of the world can see it, so that the officials of the world can be inspired to follow your example."

"Hmm...... In this way, there are still two Zhuangzi from the last time I copied Peng's house, and I will reward you with another one. In addition, anyway, the fields in Weiqing County are cheap, so I will give you a whole and reward you with 10,000 acres. ”

"Get up, don't be on your knees."
