Sheng Hong directly issued a holy decree, requiring the magistrates in various places to severely punish this kind of behavior, if the magistrates dared to cover up such acts, then he knew that one would kill the other.

Sheng Hong's mood was not very good, so he started very hard.

Li Qiao strongly supports it, and heavy punishment should be used in troubled times.

Moreover, he asked Tao Zhu to increase the purchase price of his own cotton by another penny, that is, the price of the Li family's purchase of cotton was two cents higher than the market price.

When the price is high, it can attract people to sell cotton to the Li family.

He also asked Tao Zhu to post a notice that the cotton purchased by the Li family would be donated to the charity hall in the future and used on the people.

He told the world his purpose, saying that he wanted fame, or that he secretly poked and poked and sold miserably, but as long as someone was willing to follow him, then he was willing to bear the infamy.

Without him in his previous life, Dasheng still survived.

Gao Zhiyuan said in the pamphlet that Sheng Hong encouraged the people to help each other and survive that level of natural disasters, and he believed that the people of Dasheng would definitely help each other as Sheng Hong expected.

Moreover, according to Gao Zhiyuan's description, he deduced that except for the invasion of the Hu people, there was no major turmoil within Dasheng, otherwise Gao Zhiyuan would have written it upside down.

There is no major upheaval, which shows that many people have not been cornered.

Under that level of natural disasters, how could he withstand so many natural disasters only by relying on the heavy pressure of the imperial court?

The people, the people, must have lent a helping hand to each other.

Just like the people around him, under his influence, he donated money and materials to Shantang and bought cotton.

In addition, to say shamelessly, in Dasheng, there must be some people who admire him like Mingxi.

If these people are willing to follow his example, it will help many people.

His personal financial resources are limited, and if he wants to survive the next ten years, the court and the people have to work together.

The author has something to say:

Chapter 214: One of Gao Zhiyuan's disciples is a tenant of the Li family, which is a coincidence

Li Zugen is a farmer in a village called Sanlitun outside Shengjing City.

As soon as the rooster crowed for the second time today, he pulled the cart full of cotton, and under the advice of his husband, he set off in the direction of Shengjing in the cool mist.

Sanlitun is a little far away from Shengjing, almost sixty miles away, but in the past two years, cement roads have been built outside Shengjing City, so these sixty miles are not as far as before for Li Zugen.

In the past, he couldn't go to Shengjing a few times a year, and now he still rarely goes to the city, but he has been going to the capital more recently.

Because his family is big and strong, and the second strong is learning the craft in the branch of the Shantang School on the Zhuangzi of Li Daren!

Originally, when the branch library first enrolled students, Mr. Li did not plan to package accommodation, but only one lunch, but later saw that many students were too far away from home to study, so Mr. Li rented accommodation.

The accommodation is free of charge, students only need to bring a futon.

As for breakfast and dinner, this one is not free, but it is not expensive, and those who have silver at home can pay silver, and in a year, they only need two taels of silver.

Those who don't have money at home can pay grain, and they only need 300 catties of grain a year, and miscellaneous grains and fine grains are fine.

Regardless of whether they pay money or food, as long as they pay the prescribed amount, then the student can eat as much as he pleases.

His home is 30 miles away from the branch library, and his family can't go home every day, so he chooses to stay.

His family was poor and could not afford to pay four taels of silver for the two children, but his family paid for food.

However, even if his family is rich, he will not pay the silver.

Only a fool will pay the money.

A pound of sweet potatoes costs two yuan, and three hundred pounds is only six hundred dollars, which is a difference of 1,400 yuan from two taels of silver.

Now his two children only need to pay 600 catties of miscellaneous grains, so they can eat casually in the school hall for a year. Moreover, the food is also good.

Every month on the day of the holiday, Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang will save lunch and take it home, so that their families can also taste the food of the branch library.

There are coarse grains wowotou, multigrain cakes, mixed with some white flour multigrain vegetarian buns, and soybean milk, which is indispensable.

There will also be two stir-fried dishes at each meal, although they are both vegetarian dishes, but the chef is willing to put oil and seasonings, and it tastes very good.

In addition, there will be a meal once a week, either the grains will be replaced with white noodles, or some oil residue left over from boiling lard will be put in the stir-fry, which will be fragrant.

These are big pot meals that all students can eat.

In addition to the big pot of rice, there is also a small stove.

These small stoves can only be eaten by students who have taken the money for the anointing.

Last month, his family won the eighth place in the competition at the end of the month, not only won ten taels of silver, but also got four dishes and one soup of whole meat.

Da Zhuang was reluctant to eat it, so he and Er Zhuang brought these four dishes and one soup home.

It was braised pork and big elbows, plus ten taels of silver, which made his family's teeth laugh.

Moreover, in addition to these, Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang also made fifteen keel waterwheels, one keel waterwheel can get 500 yuan, and fifteen is 7,500 yuan.

That is to say, in the last month alone, his family Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang earned seventeen taels of silver.

This really made his family happy.

If this trend continues, when Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang graduate from the branch library, then his family may be able to save a hundred taels of silver.

That's enough to buy an acre of inferior land.

Last year, his family tenanted the land of Lord Li's family to cultivate, and Mr. Li had a good heart, but seeing that there was a drought this year, he reduced his rent by 20%.

However, no matter how good the husband is, he will not be free of rent, so if you have the ability, it is better to buy a field.

But he knew in his heart how difficult it was to buy Shengjing Field, so he was only in the stage of thinking about this idea at the moment.

The life of the family is getting better day by day, thanks to Mrs. Li, if it weren't for them, how could his family turn over.

Now that Mr. Li has raised the purchase price of cotton, he will definitely sell his cotton to Mr. Li.

Mr. and Mrs. Li bought cotton out of their own pockets, and prepared to send it to poor families when it was cold in the future.

Now all the people in their village are Kwali, and the husband is the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva.

To be able to meet such a living Bodhisattva, their family has really accumulated great virtue in their previous life.

Speaking of which, Daochang Li's fortune-telling is really accurate.

Since Li Daochang told his family his fate, his family's Sanzhuang's illness has improved.

Last year, I was lucky enough to tenant the land of Lord Li's family.

The fields of Mr. Li's family are very popular, and the farmers know that Mr. Li has a good heart, not only reducing the rent at every turn, but also distributing farm tools, digging wells, and digging rivers, so that it is convenient for farmers to grow crops.

Therefore, if you want to tenant the land of Lord Li's family, you have to draw lots.

He won the lottery drawn by the eldest brother of Li Daren last year, and the eldest brother of Li Daren personally promised that as long as he was diligent and capable and served the crops well, he could live for a lifetime.

If he is bullied in the future, then he is qualified to kneel in front of Lord Li's eldest brother and sister-in-law to shout grievances.

He was so lucky.

Of course, there are also great happy events this year, and his family's Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang have entered the branch of the Shantang School run by Mr. Li's husband!

Therefore, since he beat Li Daochang to tell his family's fate, these days are getting more and more rushing day by day.

However, since Li Daochang moved from Niutou Village to Shangshui Town, he has not seen Li Daochang again.

His home is far away from Shangshui Town, and he either does farm work or odd jobs every day, so he doesn't have time to go so far.

This summer, he finally found time to prepare to go to Shangshui Town, but he heard that Li Daochang was not in Shangshui Town, and Li Daochang went to Fenghuai County farther away.

So he didn't go to Shangshui Town.

A few days ago, he heard that after Li Daochang came back from Fenghuai County, he didn't stay long and went to the border city again.

He originally wanted to buy some gifts to visit Li Daochang after planting the winter wheat, but now he doesn't know when Li Daochang will come back, so he will take a look.

Anyway, Daochang Li's mother is at home, if Daochang Li didn't come back a year ago, then he would take gifts and go to Shangshui Town to visit Daochang Li's mother.

Now that life at home is so good, he must thank Daochang Li well.

Moreover, Daochang Li also gave him a letter and asked him to keep it safe.

Daochang Li's fortune-telling is accurate - at least, his family's calculations are quite accurate, and he values him, so he has to contact Daochang Li more.

In the future, there may be some places where Daochang Li needs guidance.

Li Zugen thought about the good days and plans in the future, even though he had already walked almost twenty miles with the cart, he still didn't feel tired.

The weather was gloomy, but he didn't feel cold, and he walked out of a sweat.

Sell this cart of cotton to Mrs. Li, and then take a look at Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang, and he will definitely be able to rush home before dinner!

While Li Zugen was busy selling cotton, Li Qiao commuted to and from work normally.

He didn't work overtime today, and at four o'clock in the afternoon, he left the inner city on time.

When he got home, he first played with Li Xiaorui, Li Changfeng, and Li Yunfan for a while, and after dinner, he went back to the study to write a letter to Li Gu.

He didn't know if the locust plague would affect Jibei Province next year, but he stared at Dasheng's map and studied it for a long time, and felt that it was relatively unlikely that it would affect Jibei Province.

Moreover, it would be very difficult for him to set up an anti-locust defense line at the junction of Jibei Province and Yuanhe Province.

Because the provinces bordering the two provinces have nothing to do with his territory, he inexplicably went to these two provinces to open shops, and everyone has to suspect him.

So, after thinking about it, he decided to set up an anti-locust defense line in Qiu'an Province, where Weiqing County is located, and Zhouyang Province, which is located between Qiu'an Province and Hexi Province.

Before Sheng Hong issued an edict, he asked the prefects of Qiu'an Mansion and Zhouyang Mansion to repair cement roads, and now the cement roads in these two prefectures are almost repaired.

After the repair, it will be much more convenient to travel between Weiqing County and Hexi Prefecture.

Moreover, by the end of this year, the Grand Canal will be able to be repaired to Weiqing County, although I don't know when it will be navigable, but he has tens of thousands of acres of land in Qiu'an Province, so after Li Gu received the news, he personally led Li Dong and his wife-

When Zhuang Fengshou Zheng and his party returned to the village, they brought Li Dong and his wife back, because Li Dong and his wife felt that it was more comfortable to be closer to home after living in Shengjing for a period of time, so they returned to Pingcheng, and when Weiqing County needed manpower in the future, they went there to test the water, if they couldn't adapt, then they would go back to Pingcheng or Shengjing.

In addition, Li Gu also took Zhao Mancang, and then the group went to Weiqing County.

With the help of the local magistrate, Li Gu and his people quickly selected the 50,000 mu of cultivated land he had placed in Qiu An Province and the 20,000 mu of cultivated land in Weiqing County, and had already found tenants to rent and plant.

But now Li Gu has not returned to Pingcheng, Li Dong and his wife are too young, Zhao Mancang and him are not immediate relatives, Li Gu is afraid that these three people will not be able to control the field, so they have stayed in Weiqing County, ready to wait for the spring of next year to return to Pingcheng.
