The small broom instantly burrows into the bottom of the pot and then blends in with the soil at the bottom.

Li Qiao stared at the black powder on the surface of the flower pot for a moment, and then went to the yard where the chickens were raised with the flower pot.

Tao Zhu was taking a nap with Li Changfeng and Li Yunfan at this time, and he had to dispose of this flower pot before Tao Zhu woke up.

said that the cactus pierced his hand, so he chopped the cactus and fed it to the chickens, Tao Zhu would never suspect anything.

Having disposed of the pot, he went back to his study.

He had to hurry up and cultivate his ability, and if he wanted to govern the Yellow River, he would definitely not be able to do without his ability.

Li Qiao felt that his ability should be used to control the Yellow River, but when Li Dao brought Gao Zhiyuan's booklet half a month later, he realized that he was wrong.

The author has something to say:

Chapter 211: Gao Zhiyuan's New Content in the Booklet Gao Zhiyuan went to the border city

Li Ershan and Fan Yuanyuan's wedding date was set for the beginning of autumn, and now there are only ten days left before the wedding, so when Li Dao returned home in the evening, Li Qiao was decorating a new house with Tao Zhu in the East Second Cross Courtyard.

When the two cross-courtyards in the east were rebuilt, Li Qiao made the courtyards of Li Dashan, Li Ershan, Li Xiaoshan, and Li Xia into a pattern of small courtyards.

This style of a small courtyard is very popular with several people in Li Dashan, if you stay in your own small courtyard, then everyone is a neighbor.

Out of their own courtyard, everyone is a lively family.

Now that Li Ershan is going to get married, Li Ershan's small courtyard has become the most lively place in the Li family's mansion, and the family members are all in battle to arrange the new house and prepare all the items needed for marriage.

Knowing that it was Li Dao who had returned, Li Qiao threw away the paper-cutting work in his hand and went to his study in the East One Courtyard.

The weather is a little cooler than half a month ago.

If you put aside previous years, people who are still hot at this time try their best to escape the heat, but this year before autumn, the summer heat began to slip away.

"It's been a hard journey, drink saliva first."

Li Qiao pushed the door into the study and motioned for Li Dao, who was waiting at the door, to follow.

"Master Xie is compassionate, and I will drink the small one after the report." Li Dao said that he reached into his arms and pulled out a palm-sized booklet wrapped in brown paper.

"A few small people have been listening to the corner these days, and they haven't heard any useful information, that Gao Zhiyuan has been chattering all day long, three days ago, he said that he was going to the border city of Kangbao County."

"Yesterday he came to the capital, hired two people from Royal Logistics as bodyguards, and then set off for the border city yesterday afternoon."

"His explanation to Zhao Yinqi was that he had a bad premonition and needed to go to the border city to confirm it, but he didn't say what the specific bad premonition was, so the little one brought him back with this booklet."

"Sir, take a look."

He held the booklet in both hands and respectfully handed it to Li Qiao.

Li Qiao was surprised while taking it: "He went to the border city?" ”

"Yes. Yesterday afternoon, I should have left the Shengjing boundary and entered Jibei Province today. ”

Li Daodao.

Shengjing to the north is also the territory of Jibei Province, because the Hu people have invaded the border in the past two years, so the official road leading to the border city has been paved with plaster early.

According to the normal speed of the ox cart, Gao Zhiyuan will be able to reach the border city in about four or five days.

Li Qiao pressed the surprise and opened the kraft paper packet, the outer layer of kraft paper is on the Li Dao bag, the weather is hot, Li Dao is afraid of sweat stains in his arms, so Li Dao wrapped another layer of kraft paper in Gao Zhiyuan's kraft paper.

Li Qiao put the two layers of brown paper on the desk, and he opened the booklet.

The first few pages of the pamphlet did not add anything new, and he quickly turned to the page where Sheng Hong was too poor to auction off his private collection.

Flipping back, the entry is Gao Zhiyuan's new handwriting.

First of all, there was a period of incompetence and rage, and the trip to Fenghuai County not only did not wash away the humiliation of being beaten with poor skills, but added another joke, so Gao Zhiyuan not only scolded the rich merchant and Taoist priest, but also scolded Li Qiao and Tao Zhu.

Gao Zhi hiked and scolded a whole page, and Li Qiao hurriedly swept it and turned the next page.

The purpose is to see what will happen in the fifteenth year of Shengping next year, and Gao Zhiyuan listed it:

The six princes died at the hands of the Hu people.

The locust plague was particularly large, and the Hexi Mansion was also affected, and the crops at home were devoured by locusts, and he was still the son-in-law of the landlord at that time, and his eating and drinking were not affected. But I heard that the locust plague had affected three provinces.

There are long or short nail marks left under these lines, as well as the marks of the pen stick, obviously, Gao Zhiyuan regards these two things that will happen next year as the top priority, and plans in every possible way to profit from these two things.

Moreover, next to the three words "three provinces", there are still the names of the two provinces of Yuanhe Province and Xishan Province.

It should be Gao Zhiyuan who remembered that Xishan Province was among the three provinces.

But which province is the third one, Gao Zhiyuan did not write.

After reading the content of this page, Li Qiao turned the next page.

He scanned it roughly, and when he saw the last few lines, his pupils shrank, and his hand holding the booklet almost tightened.

I saw that this page reads:

In the twentieth year of Shengping, at that time, he was implicated by the damned landlord, and he was stripped of his fame, so he could only return to Sanliu Village. There was a big drought that year, the crops were not harvested, and the Taozhu sluts gave porridge, not only the people from Pingcheng, but also many outsiders.

At that time, the world was already chaotic, and there were many homeless people, and when I was queuing up to receive porridge, I heard a lot of rumors that were true and false.

Some outsiders say that the drought in Hexi Province is not serious, and the most serious thing is that there was a great drought in Shengjing a few years ago, and many rivers and even wells ran out of water.

I don't know if this is true or not, it's Shengjing, there are several big rivers in Shengjing, how can it be so dry that there is no water for cooking, it should be a drought in Jibei Province, right?

Under the three characters of Jibei Province, there are also the names of several prefectures.

Obviously, Gao Zhiyuan is studying where in Jibei Province is most likely to dry up even wells and rivers.

Li Qiao secretly took a breath and hurriedly withdrew the strength of his hand, so as not to leave a mark on the booklet.

He stared at the sentence that the river and the well were out of water for more than ten seconds, and then continued to scroll down with a heavy heart.

This page is still talking about drought, accompanied by scolding Tao Zhu:

The world is very chaotic, my mother is sick and gone, and the Taozhu slut gives porridge every year, but only I don't let me receive it, and I should go to the eighteenth layer of hell slut!

The Seventh Prince actually sent guards over again, if it weren't for these guards, this slut's food would have been robbed by the homeless people a long time ago!

However, with this slut, Pingcheng is much more famous than before, and the homeless people love to run here, coming and going, and the true and false news continues.

I heard that in the year Sheng Jian ascended the throne, the southern Taihu Lake dried up. If it weren't for the famous Taihu Lake Sanbai, I wouldn't be able to think about it now, and I don't know if I would be able to taste the Taihu Sanbai that can fresh off my tongue.

After the lake dried up, I heard that there were locust plagues and plagues.

Li Qiao finished reading this page with an expressionless face, suppressed his killing intent towards Gao Zhiyuan, and turned the next page.

This page does not talk about the drought, but about the cold weather and the policies of Shenghong.

Then the temperature dropped year after year, and Pingcheng was so cold that people froze to death every winter, and many livestock also froze to death.

According to the homeless people, the Yangtze River has been frozen for a month, and half a foot of snow has been saved in Dongguang, the southernmost province.

But fortunately, this kind of cold only lasted for more than ten years, otherwise Dasheng would be in danger.

At that time, the Holy Lord proclaimed that the world would reduce taxes and allow the magistrates to open warehouses and release grain, and also encouraged the people to help each other, promising that when the situation improves in the future, they will give rewards according to their contributions in the year of disaster.

The Holy Lord also made it clear that if the magistrate could stabilize the local situation, he would not only reward him with gold and silver, but also quickly promote the magistrate according to his merits.

It's a pity that I haven't been able to be an official in this life, otherwise even if I don't become a Taoist, I can be a high-ranking official.

Mixed with a high-ranking official, Li Qiao stared at the last sentence on this page, and just wanted to sneer.

He continued to scroll down with a blank face.

This is the last page.

It is full of traces of alteration, leaving large and small ink balls.

To put it simply, Gao Zhiyuan has set his sights back to the fifteenth year of Shengping next year, and Gao Zhiyuan is studying how to seize the opportunity of the Six Princes and the Great Locust Plague.

Gao Zhiyuan wanted to remind the six princes not to go to the border city next year, but he felt that if the six princes really didn't go to the border city, then the six princes would not be in danger.

There will be no danger, and that certainly does not show his ability as a master.

At that time, the Six Princes would definitely not believe him.

So the six princes still have to go to the front line.

And locust plagues.

Gao Zhiyuan was also having a headache about this, if he reminded the saint before the locust plague occurred, it would be useless to just remind him, and he had to come up with specific measures to reduce the loss of crops.

He listed a lot of measures to prevent locust plagues, and scolded Li Qiao in the middle, because according to the current situation in Hexi Prefecture, even if there is a locust plague, it can be dealt with.

Raising so many chickens and ducks is a good hand at eating locusts.

In this way, the exploits of the Hexi Mansion to exterminate locusts will fall on Li Qiao.

Li Qiao quickly finished reading this page, he turned forward again, and read Gao Zhiyuan's new content several times, and then he closed the booklet.

Gao Zhiyuan chose to go to the border city, and it seems that he will focus on the six princes next year.

I don't know if Gao Zhiyuan will get involved in the locust plague.

He lowered his eyes, picked up the two pieces of brown paper on the desk and rewrapped the booklet, and then he handed it to Li Dao: "Put it back where it was." ”

"You don't need to go to the border city, just wait for Gao Zhiyuan to find out about his two bodyguards when he comes back."

"It's been hard work, so stay in the city and rest."

After saying that, he took out five more silver tickets, which were considered a reward for Li Dao and a few people.

These nursing homes have really helped him a lot, and they must be rewarded.

Li Dao didn't refuse, he took the silver ticket, and said that he would continue to stare at Chen Yinjian and the official road of the border city-Shengjing. If Gao Zhiyuan came back, then he would know as soon as possible.

He didn't know the content of the booklet, but seeing Gao Zhiyuan's sneaky behavior, he must not have a good intention.

Gao Zhiyuan wanted to frame his master, but he couldn't let Gao Zhiyuan succeed.

After Li Dao went down, Li Qiao sat in the study for a while, waited for the heaviness in his heart to almost disperse, raised his hand and rubbed his face, and then went out to find Tao Zhu.

Halfway through, I happened to run into Tao Zhu.

Tao Zhu was holding two pieces of rice paper in his hand, and when he saw him, he shook the paper in his hand: "Today's work over there in Ershan is done, you don't need to go over." This is the list of the day's feast, you see. ”
