Hearing this, Li Qiao immediately showed a smile: "Okay." ”

He took the paper with one hand and took Tao Zhu's hand with the other: "Let's go back to the main room and see." ”

Tao Zhu also smiled when he heard this, and with a sigh, the two of them held hands and went back to the main room.

When he entered the house, Li Qian explained: "Gao Zhiyuan went to the border city, I don't know what he is going to do, Li Dao came back to say this." ”

Li Dao was away from home for a long time, which must not be able to hide from Tao Zhu, so he told Tao Zhu half of the truth to dispel Tao Zhu's doubts.

He only said that Gao Zhiyuan had become a Taoist priest, and did not mention anything about the pamphlet.

Tao Zhu didn't care about Gao Zhiyuan for a long time, and when he heard Li Qiao's words, he hummed and said that he understood, and then said directly: "You look at the wedding menu first, and then I'll check the guest list." ”

As he spoke, he pulled Li Qiao towards his small desk.

Li Qiao stared at his slender neck, took two steps to him, and with a light pounce, he directly took his body into his arms.

Li Qiao's action was without warning, Tao Zhu couldn't help but exclaim, and staggered forward two steps, only then did he stabilize his figure.

Li Qiao buried his face in his neck socket, his warm breath tickled his neck, he grabbed Li Qiao's hands on his shoulders and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I want to hug you." Li Qiao tightened her arms as she spoke.

Knowing that his bamboo brother had a very good life in his previous life, he was really happy.

"Then sit down and hug it." Tao Zhu curled the corners of his mouth when he heard this.

So the two of them were not too hot, and huddled on the same chair, one to look at the wedding menu, the other to look at the guest list, although they were busy with their own things, but from time to time they kissed and kissed twice, and they insisted on extending the work that was completed in a few minutes to half an hour.

However, the sweet time was short-lived, and after dinner, Li Qian did not sit in the courtyard with Tao Zhu, Li Changfeng and Li Yunfan to enjoy the coolness, but went to the study again.

The drought is so dry that it is impossible to guarantee water for daily use.

This drought was heard by Gao Zhiyuan in the 20th year of Shengping, and it happened before the 20th year of Shengping.

And next year is the fifteenth year of Shengping, if there is no accident, then eighty percent is next year or the year after.

Moreover, Gao Zhiyuan believes that this drought should have occurred in Jibei Province, not in Shengjing.

In fact, according to the information he found in the household department, there were also many droughts in the Shengjing area, but they were not so serious that they even had no domestic water.

There are several large rivers outside Shengjing City, such as the Yongding River, and there is no record of breaking the flow in history.

Eighty percent of this drought is in Jibei Province?

He turned out the map of Jibei Province, and the map in his hand was much more detailed than the maps circulating in the market.

Moreover, when he chose farmland before, he had a detailed understanding of the situation in each province in Jibei Province, and he knew which province flowed through which river.

He has no good solution to this level of drought, all he can do is to transfer water to it.

There are big rivers outside Shengjing City, and there are also five big rivers in Jibei Province, if you want to divert water, although this project is large, but it is not impossible.

Besides, he has supernatural abilities.

In his previous life, he would occasionally be asked by the people of the base to irrigate the crops, of course, in this life, he would definitely not blatantly use his abilities to irrigate the crops.

But can he use his ability to raise the level of the groundwater? Or quietly release water into the river?

……

Bold ideas.

It should be very difficult to operate, and if he does, he will probably have to stay in Jibei Province a lot.

That's it, let's talk about a thousand ways and ten thousand, or cultivate first.

Chapter 212: Preparation for Fighting Locusts Fan Yuanyuan and Li Ershan got married

It's important to cultivate abilities.

But next year's locust plague in three provinces is equally important.

Gao Zhiyuan scolded and talked a lot of nonsense, but did not give a specific time for next year's locust plague, waste.

However, locust plagues mostly occur in summer and autumn.

Moreover, in addition to Hexi Mansion, Gao Zhiyuan also gave the location of Xishan Province.

So, while Fan Bu came home to finalize the process of the day of marriage, Li Qiao specially told him about the Li family's intention to open a duck shop and a fried chicken shop in Xishan Province.

Chickens and ducks can eat locusts, and in Li Qiao's previous life, he saw the news that the state used chickens and ducks to treat locust plagues.

Individual locusts are generally green, this locust is edible, full of protein, and rich in nutrients.

But if the locusts gather too much, their bodies will turn yellow, and these yellow locusts contain toxins.

Li Qian didn't know exactly how much toxin it contained, but every time there was a locust plague, there would be farmers who caught yellow locusts and ate them, probably because they ate less, at least he had not heard of any cases of poisoning because of eating locusts.

However, to be on the safe side, it is better to use chickens and ducks to deal with locusts.

Over the years, every household in Pingcheng has raised dozens or even hundreds of chickens and ducks, but there has never been a highly contagious disease such as avian flu.

Therefore, now that Li Qiao is bold, he clearly told Fan Bu that he would open a duck goods shop and a fried chicken shop in Jincheng Mansion, where Fan's family is located, and in Yuncheng Mansion and Changzhi Mansion, which are next to Jincheng Mansion.

He needs farmers to grow chickens and ducks.

Fan Bu listened to Li Qiao's words, and was overjoyed.

The Li family's duck shop and fried chicken shop are important pillar stores of the Li family, and now Li is willing to open a branch in Xishan Province, and will hand over this matter to his Fan family, then this is the recognition and trust of his Fan family!

He immediately patted his chest and promised that he would definitely keep the recipe and provide a stable supply of goods for Lord Li, so that the Li family's duck shop and fried chicken shop could make a lot of money smoothly.

After Fan Buyu made a guarantee to Li Qiao, he returned to Fan's house that day and immediately wrote a letter to his hometown, explaining that the people in his hometown first posted that the Li family shop was going to open duck goods and fried chicken branches in Jincheng Mansion, Yuncheng Mansion, and Changzhi Mansion, and called on the farmers in these three prefectures to raise more chickens and ducks.

The reason why Li Qiao chose these three provinces in Tay Son Province is because these three provinces border Yuanhe Province.

I don't know if next year's locusts will be from Xishan Province to Yuanhe Province or from Yuanhe Province to Xishan Province, what Li Qiao can do is to arrange chickens and ducks in the three provinces bordering the two provinces to stop the locusts.

It just so happened that the Fan family was in Jincheng Mansion, which saved him from finding a reason to explain to everyone, just saying that he wanted to earn more silver, which would stop everyone's curiosity.

In addition, there is the province of Yuanhe.

Hexi Mansion is quite far away from Xishan Province, and if he opens a shop in a mansion on the border of the two provinces, it will seem deliberate.

He could only write letters to Li Gu and Zhuang Fengshou, and asked the Li family duck shop and fried chicken shop to open branches in the two prefectures adjacent to Hexi Mansion, so that they could also form a locust defense line.

As for how much of a role these two lines of defense can play next year, let it be left to fate.

There is a third province, not just West Shan Province or Dongshan Province, or Jibei Province.

Xishan Province is too far away, and Li Qiao has no acquaintances over there, so he is really helpless.

But Dongshan Province and Jibei Province now have Ming Governors.

After the Ming governor arrived in Dongshan Province, he first inspected several large rivers in the province, and then planned to dig rivers and build canals so that the water from these rivers could irrigate more fields.

Now that the individual provinces have completed their planning, they have started to dig rivers.

The government paid a small part of the money needed, and the governor of Ming paid a large part out of his own pocket.

When the governor of the Ming Dynasty was appointed as the prefect, the monthly income was quite high, plus the collection of some innocuous filial piety silver, over the years, he has really accumulated a lot of silver, and his family background is very thick.

Now that he has been promoted to governor of the two provinces, he is even more prosperous, and he can receive more innocuous filial piety silver.

With so much silver, he first repaired the road, and he repaired as much as he could.

Governor Ming is so selfless, Li Qian is not only praised.

But he really couldn't get involved in the affairs of Dongshan Province for a while, because he knew that this man had not yet arrived in the capital.

The marriage of the Li and Ming families is not a word, and he wants to open a shop in Dongshan Province, but it is far away.

As for Jibei Province, he didn't think about it for the time being, Jibei Province is close, what better idea is there, he can implement it quickly.

When Fan Bu remotely controlled the people in his hometown to do things for Li Qiao, Li Ershan and Fan Yuanyuan's family affairs went on as scheduled.

Li Qiao did not invite guests, but only sent invitations to people with whom he had a good relationship.

After the lively family affairs, the Li family had an extra bride.

Fan Yuanyuansheng's eyes are round and her face is round, she not only looks pleasing, but also loves to laugh, and she is also a complete foodie, from the first day she married to the Li family, she was full of praise for the Li family's home-cooked meals.

Such a Fan Yuanyuan gets along very well with the Li family.

Li Liang and Wang Guihua are very satisfied with this second daughter-in-law.

Tao Zhu was also very satisfied with this niece and daughter-in-law, because in addition to the above advantages, Fan Yuanyuan also followed him when he saw that he often went to Shantang, Shantang Academy, Shantang Xueguan branch and medical hall outside the city.

Fan Yuanyuan saw that although the students in the three schools were poor, they worked hard to study and learn crafts, so he directly donated money to set up a scholarship.

The scholarship will be evaluated on the first day of January, and those who perform well will be rewarded with ten taels of silver.

There are three schools, each with ten places.

The establishment of this scholarship surprised Li Qiao.

He hadn't thought of that before......

In fact, there are also scholarships for government schools in various places, such as Guozijian and various places, but this time and space is not called a scholarship, it is called anointing money.

There is no electricity in this time and space, and reading at night requires candle and lamp oil, so the money for this subsidy is called anointing money.

However, Li Qiao only stayed at the Zhengxin Academy in Pingcheng for a few months, and he was not deeply impressed by the various systems of the academy, so he ignored the matter of anointing money.

Now Fan Yuanyuan has taken the initiative to set up a scholarship, which makes him a little impressed.

Three schools, each with ten places, needs to spend three hundred taels of silver a month.

Although the Fan family is rich and Fan Yuanyuan also has a rich dowry, three hundred taels of silver is not a small amount.

Therefore, he deliberately approached Li Ershan and told Li Ershan about his plans, if Fan Yuanyuan was willing, he could serve as the honorary deputy director of the three schools, so that Fan Yuanyuan could receive a salary from him every month.

In these three schools, except for him and Tao Zhu, the other staff members all receive salaries.

Fan Yuanyuan is generous and benevolent, this is a good thing, he can't discourage this nephew's daughter-in-law's enthusiasm, but he can use this means to make up for this nephew's daughter-in-law.

Fan Yuanyuan was overjoyed when she learned that she could become the deputy director of the three academies.

She is a woman, and she can hold such an important position, Uncle and Uncle Zhu are so open-minded!

After becoming the deputy director, Fan Yuanyuan was very attentive to the three schools, and walked around the three schools almost every three days, running more often than Tao Zhu.
