Chapter 111 Soil Method Surveying
The imperial court had requirements on the speed of the land post stations, and the land post express horses traveled 6 post stations a day, that is, 180 miles, or about [-] kilometers.

Of course, there are faster ones, but Li Xiao still has a lot of supplies with him, so he can only use the lowest speed.

After ten days, we have arrived in Jiaozhou.

It was getting late, and the people Cheng Yaojin had arranged at the station had picked up Li Xiao and his party, and they were rushing to Cheng Yaojin's station.

In the past ten days, Li Xiao discovered a strange thing. Xiaocui, who used to be generous and generous, has become like a quail. As long as she looks at her, she will immediately bury her head, and sometimes she will talk to her. will blush!

Is this because he has never traveled far, or has little contact with men?
There are very few pedestrian houses on the road, and it becomes more and more remote and deserted.

"Brother, shall we go to Gaomi County or where?"

The soldier saluted and replied, "Your Majesty, we are going to Banqiao Town. Eight years ago, Jiaoxi County was withdrawn, and this place was merged into Gaomi County, and then Banqiao Town was established in the east of Gaomi County."

Li Xiao couldn't change his mind, but he understood that Banqiao Town is Jiaozhou, which is under the jurisdiction of Gaomi County.

"Did Lu Guogong directly occupy Banqiao Town?"

The faces of the soldiers were all black. What is occupying is not a bandit.

"By your Majesty's order, the people of Banqiao Town will be moved out and resettled in Gaomi. The Duke will train soldiers here!"

Li Xiao rolled his eyes, and he was training soldiers, even hiding it from me?
It was dark, the torches were bright, and there was a smell of salted fish in the wind. It seemed that we were very close to the sea.

Approaching the town, it was a token and a password to enter.

All the houses in the town are arranged regularly, and all the firewood houses and kitchens that have no function have been pushed away, and some firewood stacks that have not been cleared can still be seen.

Looking at the style and scale of the remaining houses, one can tell that this should be a house where a team is leading 50 people to live in.

On the outskirts of the whole town, there are still Jumas. This Cheng Yaojin really turned this place into a military camp!

A group of people walked to the largest house in the town.

"Hurry up and report, Lord Li has arrived!"

Not long after, Cheng Yaojin's rough voice sounded, "Master Zan, it's finally here!"

Cheng Yaojin frowned, and stepped forward to hug Li Xiao who had just dismounted, "It's been a hard journey, and you've lost a lot of weight."

"Uncle Cheng, it's not just thin, look at the lips, how are they cracked?"

Li Xiao was full of complaints, and rolled up his cuffs again, "Look at this arm, a layer of dust can be rubbed off, ten days, ten days, I haven't taken a bath! The biggest container in the station is the washbasin, how to take a bath? In winter, stand in the house and wash?"

"Hard work, hard work!"

The more Li Xiao thought about it, the more sad he became, "Ten days, at the beginning, the distance was not calculated clearly, and the footsteps were slow. Every day, I arrived at the station in the middle of the night. When I arrived at the station, all the food was cold. Sometimes there was no food, and it was still cold. Did you know? There is no kang in the station, if I hadn't been young and strong, I would have frozen to death!"

Cheng Yaojin scolded with a smile, "You kid just never suffered!"

"There is also our horse. When we reached Luoyang, it was useless. We changed horses at the post station along the way and came here. Uncle, remember to send someone to bring my horse back!"

"OK, OK, no problem!"

"Also, on the route from Chang'an to Gaomi, I'm going to open a restaurant!"

Cheng Yaojin was taken aback. This route is [-] miles long, with a station in [-] miles, and [-] or [-] restaurants built?That's not bad, "Walk, walk, go in and say, there is a kang in the house!"

After entering the room, Xiaocui was waiting on the side, Li Xiao pulled Xiaocui abruptly, and sat together on the kang to keep warm.

There was finally a ray of warmth.

Cheng Yaojin asked with a serious face, "plan to build more than 60 restaurants? How much will it cost, and after the completion, are you sure you can make money?"

"There are a lot of vendors on this road, but there are scattered restaurants along the way, so it will definitely make money if it is completed."

"Besides, we don't build all of them. We have to disperse them a little bit, and buy some and renovate them directly, which can save a lot of cost!"

"Then, in every restaurant, a heated kang is set up in winter, and food is placed on the top of the kang, so that traveling merchants can have a bite of hot food and sleep warmly. They must build another bathroom. In winter, they can take a sauna in it, and in summer they only need a bathtub. can!"

"There is also good service, and businessmen who go out must feel the warmth of home!"

Cheng Yaojin opened his mouth wide, and looked at Li Xiao's longing face, rolling his eyes, "You kid is not thinking about making money, but thinking about how to enjoy yourself?"

"Of course!"

Oops, I slipped my tongue, Li Xiao hastened to make amends, "Uncle Cheng, opening a restaurant is really making money. Chang'an to Luoyang is a bustling business route. In the future, the road from Luoyang to Shandong will be even more prosperous!"

After speaking, he asked mysteriously, "Do you know what I'm here for?"

The monk Cheng Yao Jinzhang Er couldn't figure it out, his tiger eyes were full of question marks, "Isn't it here to solve the problem of the saltworks?"

Li Xiao rolled his eyes, "Your Majesty can arrange a proper job for me!"

"whispering sound!"

Cheng Yaojin complained in his heart, isn't shipbuilding just a name?

"The next house is for you to live in, and the hot water and kang are ready!"

"Okay, I'm too tired, I'm going to sleep after taking a shower, then I'll take my leave!"

The small courtyard is next to the big house, it should be a side courtyard of the wealthy households in this town, the courtyard is not big, there are only two entrances, there is a pavilion for entertaining guests in the front yard, and there is a wintersweet blooming in the back yard.

"Xiao Yi, you live in the right wing of the front yard, Lao Gao, you live in the left wing!"

After Li Xiao stood in the courtyard and looked around, he made arrangements!

"Boss, we are a bunch of mud legs, it's not suitable for us to live in a wing room, or we can just find a place outside."

Lao Gao's face was filled with fear and sincerity, he knew what his identity was, he could live in the house of the master's house by himself?
Besides, after Lu Guogong moved out the people in the town, there shouldn't be too many empty rooms in the town now!
"What's the matter? We don't have many people, and the wing room can accommodate us. Why do we have to go outside and first use the yard? That's it!"

Li Xiao looked indifferent.

Xiao Yi still looked like someone owed him 200 million, and went to the right wing empty-handed!
"Niu, young master, where does Xiao Cui live?"

Xiao Cui had a complex expression on her face, with both yearning and worry.

Li Xiao looked at Xiao Cui with a complex expression, and couldn't understand what she was thinking, "A female family member, of course she has to live in the backyard!"

Li Xiao didn't have the time to speculate, so she went into her room, checked for a while, put down the package, walked to the big bathtub, and was about to start undressing.

There was another knock on the door.

"Who is it, the door is open!"
