On this day, the Li family was holding the first year banquet for Li Miao's eldest son Runwen, and the first year banquet for Xianglian, who was seven days younger, was also held. Li Miao could not stay at home for a few days and would take office in Qingzhou, Shandong soon.

On this day, the Li Mansion was decorated with lights and the scene was quite large. The old lady was in a good mood. She basically held Runwen and kept holding her hands. Not to mention Da Zhang Min, the smile on her face couldn't help but overflow.

Li Miao was also happy. His eldest son Runwen is one year old. How can he be unhappy? This is his first child in this world.

The shopkeeper Liu, who was the shopkeeper of the restaurant in the town, is now working hard. Liu Zhiqi is now the first person under his grandmother and the head of all the noodle shops.

If you say that Liu Zhiqi is really good at abilities, he has managed all the business of noodle restaurants in an orderly manner. Li Miao also wrote a menu of braised pork intestine in the restaurant in the town, and got luck for the first time. It was only then that he began to understand.

Luck.

Li Miao had known that Manager Liu was good at having good abilities, otherwise he would not have handed over the noodle shop to him. Originally, Li Miao planned to bring Manager Liu into the management of the Southern Bureau, but now he has already been thinking about this.

He will hang out with the old lady.

Now Li Miao’s three children have long liked Li Miao’s arms. It may be because of blood connections, or the aura on Li Miao’s body, and it may also be both!

On that day, Li Miao and his party boarded the Shuangfan small sea boat to Qingzhou, Shandong. In addition to Li Shi staying to participate in the imperial examination, the escorts were all the original crew members when they returned home, and there were also Ke Er and his son.

Now Ke'er has completely relieved and can finally stay with her husband.

This time, Li Miao took the route by sea, from Lianyungang to the sea and sailed along the coastline. It is estimated that it will take less than four days to reach Qingzhou. Everyone on the boat was also very interested, but Jia Lan was a little reluctant to leave.

In the village, Jia Lan made many friends, and they all said that summer is the most fun time in the village, and Jia Lan can still learn to swim.

Jia Lan stayed in the village for two months, practicing martial arts with a group of village guards all day long and studying together. In terms of homework, no one is Jia Lan's opponent.

But in terms of martial arts, the guards are no worse than Jia Lan. The key is that they are so sturdy. Jia Lan was originally in Rongguo Mansion, so she didn't live such a life. At first, they treated him as a young man. When they were familiar with it, they would let him go

Opened.

Jia Lan had a lot more fun. In addition to her normal studies, she became a wild boy. She usually had those guards to compete, so that they would not give in to him. It was really a fight, it hurts.

With Li Ba, the captain of the guard, watching Li Shi care about it at first, but later he ignored everything. Being able to play with these village guards is a kind of growth.

Jia Lan used to practice martial arts with Li Shi, but it was just practicing martial arts. Now these guys are really playing. The guard has regulations. As long as it doesn’t hurt people, it’s okay to get hurt.

Besides, how can you improve your practical ability if you don’t practice really? The goal of these village guards is to go out and be guardians, or even be a supervisor. That is to have a future.

Now the village is working as a steward outside, and the monthly salary starts at 10 taels of silver. I heard that it is enough for big fish and meat all day long. If you can't do a steward outside, the income of ordinary guards outside is not low, and the monthly salary starts at 2 taels of silver.

The guards on the small sea boat started with a monthly salary of three taels of silver. However, they had strict requirements on water quality.

The village guards are not so easy to enter now, and they also have certain requirements for cultural achievements. They are not like before. I heard from Li Ba that the young master prefers those with a brain who can do things.

Now a group of students in the village have begun to improve their studies. Once their homework is done, they can go out to be a shopkeeper. The shopkeeper's income is higher than that of a guard. It would be even more amazing if they can be a big shopkeeper.

They also told Jia Lan that their village has only been better in the past two years. In the past, they were always unable to eat enough. It would be nice to have half full. The whole village is thanking the blessing of the young master to have today's life

.

Jia Lan felt that she had a better understanding of the people of the Great Zheng Dynasty and her martial arts were also improving rapidly. Before leaving, she hugged these guards and cried.

After two months in the village, Jia Lan's homework was not lost, but she became much more naughty. Li Wan was secretly happy when she saw it.

The people on the boat said that the person who had a small ups and downs was Qiu Sheng. No matter who stayed at home or who went to Qingzhou, Shandong with her son, she was just a personal maid, and she would never miss her wherever the son went.

Qiu Sheng came back this time and saw that his parents were doing well. He heard from his father that his brother performed well. He was sent to Shandong to Dawu last year and asked Qiu Sheng to go to Qingzhou to take care of his brother.

Li Miao's small sea boat from the Yangtze River through Yangzhou enters the canal, then transfers to the Huaihe River to Lianyungang. He rests in Lianyungang for one night and enters the sea the next day. Unfortunately, Li Miao is not there, so Li Miao buys a farm for his second daughter.

It is a good paddy field by the river.

In fact, going to sea is not sailing on the vast sea, but sailing along the coastline, so there is no risk in small sea boats. From the captain to the sailor, I know that the owners are on the boat, and the boat is just a word of stability.

As soon as I entered the sea, I quickly set up a double sail, and the boat speed also increased. The double sail small sea boat is the most advanced sea boat of this era. Not only is the ship fastened, the boat speed is also the fastest. Soon, the double sail small sea boat

After passing the Rizhao area, we came to the Qingzhou waters.

Although Qingzhou is backward, its territory is quite large. In addition to Qingzhou Prefecture, it has five counties under its jurisdiction. They are Jimo County, Jiaozhou County, Huangdao County, Laixi County and Pingdu County. The area is equivalent to the size of three or four Changzhou Prefectures.

.

It is conceivable that Qingzhou has a vast territory, and its coastal areas are large and its land is very barren. At present, the closer it is to the seaside, the more barren the land is. The poorer the people are. So it is still only the sixth-rank prefecture.

Now that Li Miao has arrived in Qingzhou, within three years, Qingzhou will be able to rely on sweet potato planting and tax revenues to reach the level of prefecture management. By then, Li Miao will be promoted to the level of a genuine fifth-rank magistrate.

This is just Li Miao's side job, and his main job is the island he is about to go to. Li Miao's own private island - Lingshan Island.

The government is a fifth rank, and it has certain requirements for population and taxation. It can be seen that Qingzhou, which is so large, has not yet reached the government, and the population is not large. The key is that the land is barren and the output is pitifully small.

Needless to say, the lives of ordinary people are in a state of hunger all year round. This is another main reason why Li Miao chose Qingzhou. It is simply tailor-made for promoting sweet potatoes, and it is located on the coast, which is convenient for the development of shipping.

Qingzhou is thousands of miles away from the capital, and it is the sky high and the emperor is far away. The imperial court does not pay any attention to this poor coastal area. The annual tax is only a little bit, how can it be paid attention to?

The deserted island county adjacent to Rizhao is a county under Qingzhou. Li Miao's more than 20,000 acres of land and 50,000 acres of barren mountains are located in the coastal area of ​​Huangdao County. Huangdao County is not an island, but

It is a coastal county.

It was originally a backward area in Qingzhou. Last year, with the promotion of Wang Yonggui's sweet potatoes, it had long become a prosperous county in Qingzhou. The county magistrate of Huangdao County was promoted to Qingzhou Tongzong.
