Sheng Hong randomly asked a few shop guys, and learned that these guys were all locals of Weiqing County, so he asked a few more questions.

These locals have the most to say.

Since the beating of Lord Li Qiao Li took the dock of Weiqing County, the people of the entire Weiqing County are looking forward to Lord Li taking them away.

Now they have indeed been taken away by Lord Li, relying on the Li family's shop and Li family's fields, the locals have a lot of opportunities to work.

Agricultural products can also be sold.

Moreover, Master Li also opened a free private school in every town in Weiqing County, which not only allowed them to increase their income, but also changed the fate of their dolls.

Lord Li is really a living bodhisattva!

Those guys didn't leave Li Qiao for three sentences, and one of them wiped his tears as he spoke, talked about Li Gu's kindness to his family, and then thanked Li Qiao.

Li Qiao stood aside and listened with her toes, but Sheng Hong listened with relish.

He was looking for excitement on this trip.

The people tell the real things that happened to them with affection, which is more interesting than listening to books and watching plays.

Sheng Hong stayed at the wharf in Weiqing County for almost a day, deliberately setting aside time for Li Qiao's family to catch up with their relatives and fellow villagers.

Li Qiao looked at his neat two-story shops and couldn't help but sigh.

He only drew the design drawings, and every business was completed by his own family and led by the locals.

He didn't do much, everyone here who seized the opportunity to change their fate, in addition to the Xie Li family, had to thank them for themselves.

May Dasheng have more Weiqing counties.

The flotilla soon set sail again.

Sheng Hong was in a good mood, in addition to enjoying the scenery on both sides of the strait, he often called three little guys to chat with him.

At first, Sheng Hong was not familiar with the three little guys, so he didn't think about summoning them, but like the three little guys, after staying on the boat for a long time, Sheng Hong began to get bored.

But during the voyage of the fleet, it was not good to stop from time to time to call the people on the boat behind him, so Sheng Hong began to wander around on his dragon boat.

This time, I saw the scene of three little guys practicing with Li Man.

So Sheng Hong began to summon the three little ones.

These three little cubs are actually not small, Li Xiaorui is ten years old this year, Li Changfeng Li Yunfan is eight years old this year, they learn literature and martial arts, raise chickens and farm, and also subsidize poor peers, and often go to work, and climb the wall at every turn to socialize with the little emperor and grandson, and go to the restaurant.

They are young, but they have had a wonderful experience growing up.

Sheng Hong laughed because of their fairy tales and admired their excellence.

These three little guys have a lot of things to do, but they're outstanding in every way.

Li Aiqing is really good at raising children.

Chapter 266: The Dragon Boat Is Alone

When Sheng Hong summoned the three little guys, Li Qiao would accompany him, and the three little ones were sensible, but after all, they were young, and he was worried that the three little guys would provoke Sheng Hong by their unscrupulous words.

Whenever this happens, Tao Zhu stays alone in the cabin. Guards were patrolling outside, and it was not good for him to stand alone on the side of the boat and enjoy the scenery on both sides.

Sit at your desk or flip through a book.

Or write a diary, a letter.

It's easy to be alone.

Occasionally, Sheng Hong's harem would summon him over to chat.

This time Sheng Hong's southern tour, he brought the Seventh Prince's father Shen Bianjun - last year, Sheng Hong promoted Shen Liangren, from a concubine to a concubine.

Shen Fangjun is the same gender as Tao Zhu, he is very gentle, and occasionally summons Tao Zhu to his boat to accompany him to relieve his boredom.

On the same boat with Shen Bianjun was Concubine Xu, the mother of the six princes.

Unlike the flamboyant Six Princes, Concubine Xu is a gentle person, with a smile on her face and is also very kind to the palace maids and eunuchs.

The six princes are obviously courting Li Qiao, compared to the deliberateness of the six princes, Concubine Xu didn't make Tao Zhu feel any discomfort, she just chatted with Tao Zhu about some cooking and baby raising experience, and the topic never involved the fight for the crown.

In addition to staying alone and accompanying the harem nobles to relieve boredom, Tao Zhu will also go ashore with the large army.

In addition to the docks of the princes and Li Qiao, Sheng Hong will also stop at other places to enjoy the local scenery.

However, Jibei Province, Dongshan Province, Yuanhe Province and Shengjing Province are located in the north, and the customs are similar, so Shenghong only stopped at Tai'an Province in Dongshan Province.

But Sheng Hong did not climb Mount Tai.

This made Tao Zhu a little regretful.

Rare opportunity, missed.

After leaving the original river province, the fleet entered the province of Aea.

Unlike the plains of the original river province, the province is mountainous and hilly, and the terrain is relatively steep.

Some rivers are even sandwiched between mountains.

This kind of scenery is a little new to the people of Shengjing, and when they encounter such a section of the river, the people in the fleet will go out of the cabin and stand on the deck, next to the side of the ship.

Tao Zhu truly realized what it means to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles.

Looking up at the majestic peaks and looking down at the turbulent flowing water, in addition to feeling small, you also have more awe for nature.

It's an experience that can't be felt with books alone.

At night, when the three little ones were asleep, only he and Li Qiao were left, and Li Qiao would hold him and whisper in his ear.

If it's just the two of them, Li Qiao can take him for diving.

It can also take him to the top of the mountain in an instant.

The water ability doesn't have a strong attack, but it's useful, and it can be useful at home or on the go.

He was thrilled by Li Qiao's descriptions, but unfortunately, he didn't know when it would be realized.

With Sheng Hong's reliance on Li Qiao, how could Li Qiao have the opportunity to take him up the mountain and into the water.

The fleet soon arrived at the dock of the Seven Princes, Shangshu County.

Chestnuts and lotus roots are planted in Shangshu County, and Li Qiao opened a lotus root flour workshop here and hired locals to make lotus root flour.

Setting up a factory here has stimulated a lot of employment.

Coupled with the income of chestnuts, the people of Shangshu County are also very grateful when they mention Li Qiao.

Of course, they are also grateful to the Seven Princes.

The infrastructure of Shangshu County, such as irrigation, bridges, roads, and free private schools, were all built for them by the Seven Princes out of their own pockets.

The Seven Princes are also their great benefactors.

Sheng Hong stayed in Shangshu County for half a day, and then set off for the next stop: the dock of the Six Princes.

The wharf of the Six Princes is located in Xiaocheng, the capital of Xiaozhou Prefecture, very close to Shangshu County, and it takes two days to reach it by boat.

However, since entering the province of E'an, the speed of the fleet has slowed down a bit.

Because the customs of E'an Province and the scenery on both sides of the strait are different from those in the north, the speed of the fleet slowed down in order to let everyone see it clearly.

When he left Shangshu County, Sheng Hong bought some lotus root powder, and the local people had to give him this specialty, so he bought it with silver.

After he bought it, he gave half of it to the people who accompanied him, and he prepared to give the remaining half to the rest of the journey, so as to spread the word for lotus root powder.

So far, the market for lotus root flour has mainly been in Shengjing, and some of the lotus root flour produced in Le Yuning in Beihu Province has also been shipped to Shengjing.

The Shengjing market is almost saturated, and he has his eye on Jiangnan, which is also wealthy.

The three little ones hadn't eaten lotus root noodles for a long time, and after getting them, they decided to go to the kitchen on the lowest floor to drink lotus root noodles.

Freshly boiled hot water must be used to brew lotus root powder, otherwise the brewing will not be successful.

Seeing this, Tao Zhu stopped them: "Don't go yet, you're about to go to the Yulin Lock, don't you want to see the dragon boat crossing the lock?" ”

After the Yulin sluice, it is Xiaozhou Mansion.

"I've watched it several times, and now I want to eat lotus root flour. Daddy, while Daddy is away, I want to add a little more osmanthus nectar. ”

Li Yunfan said with a smile while holding a celadon clay pot filled with lotus root powder.

There are several locks on the Grand Canal, so it's okay not to look at them this time.

"I'm going to add more hazelnuts and walnuts, I've been studying too hard lately, I need to eat more walnuts to replenish my brain."

Li Yunfan also said.

Li Xiaorui stood between the two little uncles, with one in each of his little arms, and he nodded heavily: "That's it, I have to put more of both, and the lotus root flour is delicious with more honey and nuts." ”

"Then you eat less, it's getting dark, and it's not long before dinner."

Tao Zhu advised.

The three little guys are well-behaved, they never eat snacks as meals, they are just hungry for lotus root flour now, and they don't plan to eat lotus root flour as a meal.

Because the meals they eat on weekdays are made by the imperial chef!

Although their family and a group of guards were neighbors, their food was made by the Holy Lord's imperial chef, and the Holy Lord did not let them eat a big pot of rice with the guards.

Originally, they ate whatever the saint ate, but recently they have become familiar with the saint, and they can still order.

The craftsmanship of the imperial chef is very good, and it is also very fine, not to mention their food, even the various restaurants outside can't be compared.

They haven't gotten tired of eating for almost a month!

They won't let lotus root flour fill their little belly~

By the time the four of them returned to their deck with the pallets, the dragon boat had already passed the Yulin lock.

At this time, the locks were built very rudimentarily, and they were wooden gates, which could only accommodate one ship at a time, so they passed through the locks quickly.

It's evening, and the setting sun is shining a layer of golden light on the water, and when you look ahead, your eyes will be covered with this golden light, even dazzling.

However, a few people had seen this scenery countless times, so they just glanced at it casually, and then returned to their cabin with the tray.

At this time, Li Qiao was staying at the top with the six princes, the eldest prince, and the fourth prince, discussing the future development of the entire Hui'an Province with Sheng Hong.
