Tao Zhu smiled lightly when he heard this, he took the milk tea out of the food box and put it in front of Li Qiao: "Taste it, it should be cold in a while." ”

There was a small silver spoon in the milk tea bowl, Li Qiao picked up the delicate celadon bowl in front of her with one hand, picked up the small spoon with the other hand to remove the soybean flour and cream, scooped a spoonful of milk tea and put it in her mouth.

Mellow with a little silkiness, the taste is really good.

I scooped another piece of rice mochi, and the taste was also very good, just like I remembered.

He couldn't help but praise Tao Zhu again, Brother Zhu'er's cooking skills are so good!

Being praised by his lover, Tao Zhu was happy in his heart, he asked Li Qiao to drink slowly, and he rolled his eyes and looked at Li Qiao's desk.

There were a few messy pieces of paper on the desk, and he picked them up curiously: "Huh? You're ......."

"I hadn't looked at a few dock materials just now, and I had an idea in my head, and I drew it."

Li Qiao looked at the few pieces of paper that had been held by Tao Zhu in his hand.

The shape of the bicycle is drawn on it.

He "invented" new things, and he always experimented many times, and he succeeded after many mistakes and detours.

And the bicycle is a very novel innovation in this time and space.

Bicycles move by human power, without the help of animal power, and do not need to pedal on the ground like scooters.

In addition, there is also the chain drive technology of the car chain, which is so complicated, so he has to test and ponder it repeatedly.

So, he drew the drawings first.

Once you have the drawings, you can do the experiments.

Tao Zhu looked at the bicycle on the drawing, his eyes widened, and his face was puzzled: "How does this car move?" ”

"There are two pedals in the middle, and if you step on them, you can move around."

Li Qian explained.

"Huh? Will this work? Tao Zhu was surprised.

"This is just my assumption, whether it can be done or not is not necessarily, I am a rare rest, I don't want to read, so I think about it."

Li Qiao moved out of the reasons that she had thought of a long time ago.

Tao Zhu immediately believed it, he couldn't be more clear about how busy Li Qiao was every day, and he immediately put down the drawings in his hand: "Since it's rare to rest, don't think about this car, let's do something else." ”

"Do what?"

Li Qiao tilted her head and asked curiously.

"Thinking about the relationship between Yu Ning and Xiaolan, one of them is two years old, and the other is one year old, and this year is not young."

"Yu An is very happy every day now, and sometimes she will jump up and down when she walks, although Yu Ning and Xiaolan don't say it, but I can see that the two of them are a little envious."

Tao Zhu said and stretched out his finger and tapped on the tip of Li Qiao's nose: "Although our children are capable and assertive under your influence, Yu'an is dangling in front of them all day long, and they will inevitably have a young girl and miss their beloved." ”

"This ......"

Li Qiao was stunned for a moment, but then nodded again.

These two children are eighteen years old and the other is seventeen years old, even if they put aside his previous life, it is a good time to fall in love.

What's more, this time and space has always been early marriage and early childbearing.

"Recently, there is a suitable one?" He immediately asked.

"That's why I'm talking to you about it."

Tao Zhu was a little worried.

Li Yunning and Li Xiaolan's requirements are not high, they don't look at the other party's family background, they just want good character, good looks, and general ability doesn't matter.

This requirement, as Li Qiao's niece and little niece, can be said to be so low that it can't be lower.

There are also nobles and officials who send matchmakers to come, but none of the sons and young masters of these families have concubines at a young age.

Xin knows this kind of wonder, and he can't find a second one in Mansheng Kyoto.

Moreover, there is an example of Li Ershan in the past, these people don't look down on Li Yuning and Li Xiaolan from the countryside, and they just want to tie up with Li Qiao, so they sent the matchmaker here.

How can this kind of person be entrusted for life?

If you don't look for nobles and officials, you are a rich businessman, but the young master of a rich businessman's family can clean himself and have good ability and good character, which is also rare.

At least not yet.

You can't really let these two children marry into ordinary people's families, right?

"Anyone who came to the door, I asked people to quietly investigate, and the results were not satisfactory. Since ancient times, it has been easy for men to marry, and it is too difficult for women and brothers to find a lover. ”

Tao Zhu said, looking Li Qiao up and down with his eyes, and said with a little hesitation: "Why don't you find a talent or a person for the two of them?" ”

Although it is an ordinary family, it is at least a potential stock.

Li Qiao was amused by Tao Zhu's gaze, he put down the milk tea bowl in his hand, and stretched out his hand to wrap Tao Zhu's waist with a smile: "A good man like me, I am the only one in the whole Dasheng." ”

"I know you're good, but it's okay to be like Meng Yue and Xu Ying."

"Xu Ying is not easy to find, he made Brother Hua sad for a long time, we want to find a young talent who is better than him for Brother Hua'er, but the entire Hexi Mansion can't find it."

"As for Meng Yue, she was frank and unflattering when she was poor, and she still adhered to her heart after becoming an official, she also valued love and righteousness, was infatuated and single-minded, and also had her own opinions, and she could still block her family's chatter if she didn't get married at this age."

"There are few scholars like Meng Yue."

Tao Zhu: "...... So what do we do? ”

"Although this kind of thing can't be forced, I ask someone to pay attention to it."

It's really not good, then it's like Li Chuntao, looking for two talented men with good potential.

As long as his official position is big enough, he is not afraid that Xiucailang will turn his face in the future.

In addition to Xiucailang, there is also a new science and technology jinshi.

Some scholars will focus on studying, and then start a family after gaining fame, which is the case with Xin Zhi.

So, he might be able to pick up the leaks from the lifters.

Li Qiao had an idea in his heart, and when Xin Zhi sent Li Yu'an back to his house in the afternoon, he and Xin Zhi mentioned the matter.

Xin Zhi used to study in Guozijian, and Xin Zhi has been staying in the Hanlin Academy, and he knows many more unmarried lifters and talents than him.

Xin Zhi patted his heart and responded to the matter happily.

By the way, he also told him about the wells and ditches in the Xin family's hometown.

Xin Zhi is a man of action, the last time Xiao Yu'an said that Li Shu had broken his shoulder because of carrying water for irrigation, he returned home that day, and immediately told his grandfather and father about digging more wells and repairing more ditches in his field.

When the eldest prince broke his leg, Sheng Jun asked a few people present to know the real situation at the scene, but Marquis Wu Anhou was afraid of offending Queen Peng and did not tell the truth.

Sheng Jun was tired of the Xin family because of this.

This difference in thought has made Wu Anhou suffer a lot for many years.

The consequences were so serious as soon as possible, he must have told the truth back then.

But he couldn't change his words, so he could only focus on his children and grandchildren, the Xin family had a hard time coming up with a smart and clever Xin Zhi, and Xin Zhi was far enough away from the eldest prince when he was examined, so Xin Zhi became the hope of the entire Xin family.

It's just that the Xin family protected Xin Zhi so well that Xin Zhi actually wrote a "clever trick" to reduce the salaries of all the officials during the examination, which made Wu Anhou's eyes black and almost fainted.

Fortunately, the saint didn't care.

And this matter has not been revealed, and the officials don't know, but Wu Anhou has most of Xin Zhi's heart for this little grandson.

His little grandson has no scheming, he is naïve, this kind of character can't go far in the officialdom, the Xin family wants to rely on Xin Zhi to return to the power center of Dasheng, so it is better to expect Xin Zhi to marry a good lady or a good husband.

Now, Xin Zhi finally has a little brother he likes, and the key is that this little brother is still Li Qiao's nephew.

At the same time, Xin Zhiren was very happy, and he was very concerned about Li Qiao and Li Yu'an's side, and now Li Qiao asked about the wells and ditches, Xiao Yu'an himself also had such a painful and tragic experience, and the Xin family must complete this matter as soon as possible.

Now the Xin family's hundreds of thousands of acres of cultivated land in their hometown are in full swing digging wells and rivers, and half of the carpenters in the entire Huaidong Mansion have entered the Xin family to specialize in keel waterwheels.

Now there are two thousand keel waterwheels in the Xin family!

The Xin family's actions, Li Qiao was very satisfied.

As Li Liang often said last winter, if it doesn't snow all winter, then there will definitely be a lack of rain this spring.

Some diligent farmers went down to the fields to water their crops on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

Recently, in addition to watering the crops, the peasants outside Shengjing responded to the call of the imperial court and went to dig ditches.

The peasants know best whether the crops are short of water, and now they only need to dig ditches, and the Seven Princes will equip them with keel waterwheels, which is a great thing, and it would be foolish not to do it.

Shengjing is working hard to fight the drought, as is the Huaidong Mansion where Xin Zhi's hometown is located, as well as the location of several princes' docks.

Very good.

Since last year's snow before the winter, a whole winter, Shengjing here is not a drop of rain and not a single snow, this year eighty percent of the drought will be, now everyone digging these ditches, waterwheels, will definitely reduce the loss of farmers.

Two days later, Li Qiao received a letter from Jiang Zhi County.

Lang Fang Mansion was too close to Shengjing, Li Bujin quickly whipped his horse and rushed to the capital of Lang Fang Mansion within one day.

Therefore, Jiang Zhixian's letter came quickly.

In the letter, Jiang Zhixian repeatedly said that he was very welcome to choose cultivated land in Langfang Mansion, and carefully introduced the current cultivated land situation in the six counties of Langfang Mansion, and also said that he had begun to plan to dig ditches and build rivers in the whole prefecture, and if Li Qiao chose cultivated land in Langfang Mansion, then irrigation would be convenient in the future.

Jiang Zhi County is the same as the Ming Zhi Mansion, although he is the prefect, he knows the situation of the counties below the government very well.

Last year, the cement road was paved to Langfang Mansion, and now the official road leading to Shengjing in Langfang Mansion and the official road between several counties are cement roads, and the traffic is very convenient.

When the grain harvest of Li Qiao is harvested in the future, it will be easy to transport it to Shengjing.

After talking about business, Jiang Zhixian mentioned at the end of the letter that his youngest grandson, Jiang Mao, had passed the examination of his hometown province and could enter Guozijian to study.

Jiang Mao will go to Shengjing next month, he hopes that Jiang Mao can go to Loei to pay a visit, and he wants to ask Li Qiao, the only champion who has won six yuan since the founding of the country, to give him guidance and guidance to his little grandson.

Li Qiao was very satisfied after reading Jiang Zhixian's letter, and when Li Bujin went to Langfang Mansion, he wrote a letter to Jiang Zhixian, in which he asked Jiang Zhixian if he really put the cultivated land in Langfang Mansion, and whether it would be convenient to irrigate crops in the future.

Jiang Zhixian replied to him with practical actions!

He picked up his pen and began to reply to Jiang Zhixian.

Jiang Zhixian helped him a lot when he was taking the imperial examination, and now it is Jiang Zhixian's turn to take the road to the imperial examination, so he will naturally try his best to help.

This Jiang Mao is only seventeen years old, but he is already a lifter, and he is young and promising.
