Chapter 108 The First Meeting

The two women realized that the people standing next to them were the county magistrate and the village chief.

Startled, they hurried to a truce, and said in unison: "See you, my lord."

Li Mo repeated what he said just now: "Are you all free?"

A woman took a few steps back and said awkwardly: "Not busy, not busy, just get busy."

After speaking, he ran away in a hurry, and the other woman also followed. The quarrel had to be divided into time, and the quarrel continued after the county magistrate had left. The old men also called, and if they couldn't argue, they would fight, hum.

Village head Wang accompanied him with a smirk, this is really embarrassing, do you want to scold those two shrews later?Such a shameful thing happened in front of the county magistrate.

Li Mo frowned and asked Village Chief Wang, "This kind of thing happens often?"

Village Chief Wang coughed twice: "That's not true, it rained the past two days, the rice was not dry, and the sun was shining today, so there was a problem of land grabbing."

In fact, such trivial matters often happen and are very difficult to manage. Li Mo also understands that every village cannot always be peaceful. Li Mo did not mean to criticize Village Chief Wang, but reminded him to pay attention in the future. Set up a rule, there is no such thing as a circle without rules.

Too many quarrels will hurt harmony. Neighbors should help each other and respect each other, instead of being in a mess. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. If they cannot respect each other, they should not hurt each other. When people are always in trouble, the last It is your neighbor who can help you.

Village Chief Wang nodded straight: "Yes, yes, tonight I will call the villagers to discuss how to solve it."

In fact, the most important thing is that the grain drying field is too small, and the harvest season is such a short period of time, so everyone is scrambling for land.

Li Mo has always wanted to find limestone. In the ancient times when there was no concrete, limestone was the best raw material for sun-drying fields, but Songjiang County did not have it. He had a headache and sent people out to look for it. They didn't know what it was.

After spending a whole day running around all the villages, Li Mo finally felt relieved. There were no major problems, but there were a lot of minor problems. As long as they didn't affect the harvest, Li Mo didn't care. With the village chief around, their wages have already been raised. It's five hundred words, and I'm much more active in doing things than before.

If someone dares to stop the villagers from harvesting, they will be punished and waited on. The common people depend on the sky for their food. During this time, double robbery is the top priority, and no one can stop it.

It was already night when we returned to the county office, "Your Excellency is back."

"My lord is back."

The quiet county government seemed to come to life in an instant, and everyone rushed to tell each other.

At this time, it was the time for the yamen servants to study cultural lessons, and they all gathered in the front yard. When they saw Li Mo coming back, they stopped writing and surrounded them.

Mrs. Zhou finally saw her long-lost daughter, surrounded by a large group of people again.

Yang Danni and the others were already waiting in the front yard.The master hasn't come home yet, and there are still a lot of things to report to Li Mo, and the same is true for Song Min.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhou had already gone to the front yard to arrest people, he had no choice but to give up. Let's talk about something tomorrow, and he is not in a hurry.

The mother and daughter chatted until very late, and Mrs. Zhou had a lot to say to Li Mo, such as, are you eating well, you see that you have lost weight and darkened again, and you are not allowed to run so far in the future.

In the back, Mrs. Zhou was the only one talking, saying that there were too many vegetables in the yard, and they could not finish them all, and they could sell them again. A few more mares are pregnant, and soon there will be young ponies. It is said that the girls who came back from Yueyun Mountain now always ask them when they can come out and so on.

Li Mo was able to hold on at first, but later, she simply fell asleep on Zhou's lap.

Zhou Shi was angry, funny, and distressed, so she asked Li'er to come over and move Li Mo to the bed together.

As soon as Li Mo woke up at dawn, he first went to the dormitory of the clothing factory to see the girls. In order to avoid suspicion, Li Mo called Zhou Shi and Li'er over.

During this period of time, the two of them were in contact with the girls, and the girls did not reject them. .

In the past few months, they haven't stepped out of the dormitory, and if they don't go out, they will suffer from social phobia.

In order not to disturb their lives, Yang Danni just asked people to put daily necessities and rations at the door, and they had to do everything else by themselves. There were no coquettish girls or people in bad moods.

But after a few months of life, they have adapted to this kind of self-sufficient life.

Bring Liu Qing along, the girl's mood has stabilized now, it's good to take her out to relax.

Lier summoned everyone to an open space in the dormitory area.

The girls were uneasy, which reminded them of the days in Yueyun Mountain, standing in a row like this, waiting for those bandits to pick someone, it was a shame and humiliation for them, and it made them very embarrassed.

Looking at the pretty girls, Li Mo's voice couldn't help but soften a bit: "I called you here because you want to go or stay. If you want to go home, I can arrange for you to leave. If you don't want to go, you can stay. Enter a clothing factory or cosmetics factory, or go to a store in Linxian County, or go outside to make a living by yourself.

No one will force you anymore.Those who want to marry, see if there is any suitable one, you can choose someone to marry, and those who don't want to marry can stay in Songjiang County, whether it is farming, or raising chickens, or embroidery, or entering a factory, there are always mouth to eat. "

It's not enough just to say these words, only by another group of women by their side, and set an example by themselves, can they gradually understand that Songjiang County is not a place to hurt them, until one day they get out of the shadows and return to normal Life.

Let them understand that as a woman, you can live like a human being, you can have food when you work, and you don't have to be beaten or humiliated by others.

"This world can also be a woman's book." This is a sentence that Li Mo likes very much, and he plans to tell the girls today.

"This world can also be a woman's book. If there are no women in the world, this world will lose at least five-tenths of truth, six-tenths of goodness, and seven-tenths of beauty. Whether mothers, wives, or daughters No matter what your identity is, where you live, women are the most beautiful colors in this world.

This world is extraordinarily beautiful because of women.In this life, you should be glad to be a woman, so try to live the way you want.

Girls, no matter whose daughter or wife you are, you are still yourself in the final analysis.It is the woman who has a dream in her heart and is full of heart, neither following the crowd nor catering to please. "

"Here, you are you, no one can bully you, I, Li Mo, will always be your backer, you have hands and feet, you live by your own labor, not by others, no one will laugh at you, the so-called verbal attack Take it as a joke, you can still live a wonderful life. From the moment you leave Yueyun Mountain, you are free people, and no one can force you to do what you don't want to do."

Li Mo's words caused a commotion among the girls, some were ecstatic, some were deep in thought, and some couldn't help but shed tears.

A girl shivered and said: "My lord, you are a man. These things will never happen to you. You can't understand our feelings. I am really afraid of other people's strange eyes. As long as there are two of them secretly Whispering, I always think they are laughing at me, I feel that I live without any dignity, my life is dark."

Li Mo said calmly: "Yes, I haven't experienced your suffering, I can't understand your pain, but I can feel your longing for life, what is more terrible than death, you even die Not afraid, why are you afraid of living?

Why do we care about other people's strange eyes? When we can't stop others' mouths, we can be selectively deaf. When we can't change the world, what we have to change is ourselves. Only ourselves are strong enough, and no one dares to say Your right and wrong, you deserve a more exciting life, this world is colorful, not gray. "

The scene was extremely quiet, and no one spoke.

Li Mo smiled slightly: "Now, those who want to stay stand on the left, those who want to go home stand on the right, and those who don't know where to go stand in the middle."

Perhaps inspired by that smile, someone stood up and stood to the left without hesitation, and then more people followed to the left.

A tear fell and fell into the mud.

They should cry, why not?Starting today, bid farewell to the past with tears, they want to rewrite the destiny of their lives and live a different scenery.

Finally, everyone stood to the left.

Li Mo said loudly: "Okay, you are the best. From today on, you are from Songjiang County. If you have a mouthful of food from me, Li Mo, you will not be hungry."

Li Mo plans to arrange them to the newly opened soap factory, and has asked people to prepare tools and materials, and they can start working in ten days. They will be trained in these few days.

For the newly opened trading companies, Li Mo has already started rushing for goods before he came back.

It is also a sin to publicize too much. The order of soap has already been piled up. At the beginning, I only brought a little soap, which was not enough to look at.

Li Mo also plans to organize everyone to make bean curd sticks and preserved eggs after the villagers have finished their double grabbing.

The pine eggs sold now were made by those students when the training class was held, and most of them were made by Li'er, Zhou Shi, and Ye Huamei in the backyard when they were free.

During this period of time, a few students have made a fortune from preserved eggs, but their quantity is too small, not enough.

Thinking about it this way, I have more work, and I can't finish my work.

I plan to take Dr. Zhang and Dr. Chen to the hospital tomorrow to see if they have anything to add.

But people are not as good as heaven. In the afternoon, the master gave Li Mo an official document.

The general content of the official document is that the imperial envoy arrives in Ningyun City tomorrow, and the prefect Liu requires all the county magistrates to be there to greet him.

Li Mo threw away the official document: "I'm not free, I'm very busy."

The master begged bitterly: "My lord, you can't do this. This is the imperial envoy. When the time comes, Taishou Liu will bite you back, and it will be miserable."

The imperial envoy is not as easy to fool as Liu Taishou.

Li Mo felt very strange, what does the imperial envoy have to do with her? Isn't there a prefect Liu in Fucheng? What does it have to do with her as a small county magistrate?

Li Mo thought in a blink of an eye: "No, how could the imperial envoys arrive at Ningyun City so quickly? Aren't they in Huaiyang City? Huaiyang City is so far away from Ningyun City, and it would take seven days for me to go all alone. Like them, they are guards of honor and protected along the way, so it will take at least half a month to arrive."

The master also found it inconceivable: "Could it be that there is fraud in this?"

Li Mo rubbed his chin: "You mean that Governor Liu wants to trick me."

Song Min: "He doesn't have the courage."

The master is in a hurry, if it is really Liu Taishou who wants to cheat Li Mo, this is a Hongmen banquet, and there will be no return, "My lord, what should I do?"

Song Min: "My lord, don't go tomorrow, he may want to borrow a knife to kill someone with the help of the imperial envoy."

Li Mo had offended Prefect Liu many times. He wished Li Mo would die. This was a good opportunity. Li Mo dared to refute Li Mo's right and wrong in front of the imperial envoys.If you refute it, you are contradicting your boss, and the crime is aggravated.

Li Mo: "Go and have a look tomorrow, and adapt accordingly."

Li Mo understands this truth. It doesn't matter if she is alone, but behind her are more than 3 people in Songjiang County.

Song Min: "My lord, why don't you call everyone?"

Master: "Yes, call everyone, even if they don't dare to do anything to you."

Li Mo burst out laughing: "Everyone calls, you are too exaggerated, are you going to kill or set fire?"

But the master couldn't laugh: "My lord, this is not a joke. Prefect Liu's heart is too dark, and that Master Zhou, they are all careless masters."

Li Mo waved his hand: "No need, Song Min will follow me tomorrow."

Master sighed helplessly, hoping that nothing would happen tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Li Mo and Song Min set off, and when they arrived at the prefect's mansion, they realized that they were the last ones. Everything was in place last night, with all sincerity.

Everyone gathered at the gate of Ningyun City. When Li Mo arrived, they thought it was the advance team of the imperial envoy.

Seeing that he was wearing the county magistrate's clothes, he was not angry at all, but he laughed at Li Mo for not being ignorant of the rules and really treating himself as a big shot for coming so late.

Someone saw that Li Mo was not pleasing to the eye, and began to find fault: "Are you Li Mo, the county magistrate of Songjiang County?"

Li Mo didn't know him, because Li Mo never attended these boring meetings.

Song Min secretly said to Li Mo: "He is Zhu County Magistrate of Ninghua County."

Cosmetics and clothing also opened stores in Ninghua County. It is impossible for Magistrate Zhu not to know that Li Mo is not easy to mess with.

Li Mo looked at him with raised eyebrows: "So what?"

County magistrate Zhu said righteously: "Everyone arrived last night, but you, you came late. Also, you all brought gifts. Seeing that you are empty-handed, aren't you embarrassing Mr. Liu?"

Li Mo said innocently, "Lord Liu didn't ask me to bring a present."

The others laughed ironically and did not dare to criticize Li Mo. Several people gathered together and whispered: "Is this Li Mo a fool?"

"Isn't it obvious? You're just a fool. Do you need someone to inform you?"

"Stop talking, didn't you see Master Liu's face turned black with anger?"

Liu Taishou's face was very dark, but he didn't dare to speak directly to Li Mo, and pretended to say very generously: "It's okay, it's okay."

"Lord Liu is just too kind." Someone started flattering.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of gongs and drums outside the city gate, like a bang, like a thunder, followed by a second sound, and a third sound.
Gongs and drums cleared the way, naturally the imperial envoy had arrived.

Prefect Liu had already knelt on the ground first, and everyone behind him also knelt together.

Song Min tugged at Li Mo and motioned her to kneel down.

Li Mo rolled her eyes and squatted directly on the ground. Her knees were kneeling to the sky and kneeling to her parents.

The sound of the gong was getting closer, and Li Mo kept looking up.

Under the sunny sky, four tall horses stood side by side in the middle of the road. The horses were good horses, and the carriage they were pulling was even more expensive. The golden paint surface was dazzling in the sun.

Behind is the guard of honor and the carriage, a mighty crowd.

The carriage came to a complete stop and the sound of the gong stopped. Eunuch Liu motioned to the yamen servants next to him. He saw a few yamen servants carrying the red carpet and pushing it from the side of the carriage until it was in front of Eunuch Liu.

Li Mo: This is flattery.

At this moment, the guards waiting beside opened the curtain of the car.

A hand stretched out from the inside, the knuckles are clearly and beautifully handed, even the hands are so beautiful, wouldn't the person inside be more beautiful.

Under everyone's gaze, a tall, slender young man in purple-black casual clothes got out of the carriage.

Emerald and jasper girdle, ink like silk, sword eyebrows into the temples, a pair of narrow and long red phoenix eyes, shining bright colors in the air, high nose bridge, thin lips, the whole face is full of sculpture like knife carving.

Li Mo was speechless, this is too handsome.

And those eyes, too beautiful, what's more, the face with these beautiful eyes.

The man didn't speak, his eyes swept around, and briefly glanced at everyone present.

Such a stunning beauty, just looking at everyone, can make people feel that the flowing clouds and flowing water are full of nobility.

"See the imperial envoy."
