Chapter 139

Every time I come, I go to Yejia Village first. This village is the closest, and it is also the village that Li Mo visits the most.

But this time Li Mo went in the opposite direction and arrived at Zhangjia Village first.

In the current village, as long as people are not lazy, there are basically no idlers. Those who make bamboo products, bean curd sticks, preserved eggs, and work in the fields, as long as their hands are diligent, they will not starve to death.

The one who came out with Li Mo was Feng Chen. Under the careful guidance of Feng Chen, the villagers took good care of the tea garden, and the tea trees grew very luxuriantly.

You can't be careless, these are all exchanged for silver, and now you still owe a debt to the county government. The county magistrate said that you will start paying off the debt when you start picking tea leaves. After that, you can pay in one lump sum or in installments. But not more than three years.

Want to renege?It's impossible, unless you move your family out of Songjiang County, and you still sneak away, otherwise you will definitely doubt your life.

Li Mo went to the tea garden first. The villagers were all together when they opened up wasteland, so the land was connected into one piece.

Looking around, there is a piece of green, which makes people feel refreshed.Think about it, before last year, this place was still a barren wasteland, but now it is a scene of a harvest.

"Old Chen, how long will it take for the tea leaves to be picked?"

Crazy Chen: "If there are no accidents, there are still two years to harvest in large quantities."

In fact, it is still possible to pick it now, but the amount is too small, and it hurts the tea tree. There is no need to bear it for a little bit of silver, which hurts the root.

Crazy Chen thought for a while, and turned out Li Mo's original promise: "My lord, don't forget your promise."

Li Mo: "Don't worry, since I promised you will definitely do it."

After a pause, he looked at Feng Chen seriously: "But you have to promise me that you must live a good life."

Crazy Chen didn't answer Li Mo immediately, but just stared at the blue sky in a daze.

Does he still need to live?None of the relatives he cares about the most is alive in this world, so what is the point of his living?

Li Moyu said earnestly: "Mr. Chen, I can't feel your pain at the beginning, but I can understand your feelings. It takes a lifetime to be happy, and a lifetime to endure humiliation.

You gave up your life so easily, you think about your wife and children, your parents, they want you to live even more.They only hope to meet you again in the next life and continue their relationship. "

Li Mo knew what Kuang Chen was thinking, and after helping him avenge him, he followed in the footsteps of his parents, wife and children and embarked on the cycle of life and death.

This is not the result Li Mo wants to see. Since he has survived, why can't he persist until the end?

Since he is not even afraid of death, why is he afraid of living? If his parents, wife and children can see it in the sky, I don’t know how disappointed he is.

But those who can be enlightened have already been enlightened. If he wants to get rid of his tendons, no one can stop him.

Village head Zhang already knew that Li Mo had arrived in the village, so he rushed over in a hurry.

Poor old village head, he found out that Li Mo came here every time to make a surprise attack, and never notified in advance which day she would come, and if she came a few more times, village head Zhang was really afraid that his heart couldn't take it, and he died suddenly .

Li Mo: What I want is the effect of a sudden attack, lest you do face-saving projects.

Village head Zhang managed to get to the tea garden, but was in vain. Li Mo had already gone to the sugarcane field.

Because he was not sure whether the sugarcane had been treated with pesticides, Li Mo didn't dare to eat it.

The sugarcane planted, due to sufficient fertilizer and water, is many times better than the one in the wasteland of Yejia Village.

Ridge after ridge of sugarcane stands upright in the field, and hard-working villagers have already stripped the sugarcane leaves to reveal long sugarcane knots.

Li Mo wanted to drool just looking at it, and really wanted to have one.

In other words, why do I go to the trouble of making pesticides, otherwise I can eat sugar cane now.

Crazy Chen looked at Li Mo inexplicably, what can this thing do?Look at the way you are so excited that you have never seen the world.

Until a villager passed by and saw Li Mo and Feng Chen squatting beside the sugarcane field.

Came over curiously: "My lord, is there something wrong with my sugar cane?"

It turns out that the rightful owner has come, and I am blessed.

Li Mo swallowed hard: "Ma'am, is your sugarcane treated with pesticide?"

"No, the child's father said that there aren't many bugs, so we just don't beat them."

After the auntie finished speaking, she looked at Li Mo anxiously. Is it wrong not to use pesticides?
Li Mo: "It's fine if you don't use pesticides. Can I eat sugar cane?"

Auntie: "You can eat it. You can eat as much as you want, sir."

Li Mo couldn't wait to break one. It was very crispy and full of water, but it wasn't very sweet. It wasn't in season yet, and it would taste better in a month or two.

There are so many sugar canes in Songjiang County, it is impossible to eat them all raw. It seems that the sugar factory is about to start work.

The aunt asked the doubts in her heart all the time: "My lord, can this thing be sold for money?"

They have been taking care of these sugar canes for several months, and they don't know what the sugar cane can do. They asked the village chief, and he didn't know either.

Now that it has been planted, it must be taken care of carefully, otherwise it will be known by adults and there will be no good fruit to eat.

Li Mo was forced to plant sugar cane, and every household had to plant it more or less.

In the past few months, Li Mo has traveled to the village many times, fearing that everyone does not know how to plant and fertilize.

Li Mo: "Auntie, how many acres of sugarcane have you planted?"

The aunt replied honestly: "Three acres of land."

Li Mo gave her a promise: "Don't worry, you can have a good year this year."

The aunt was overjoyed: "My lord, is what you said true?"

"When did this officer lie to you? It will be collected in two months. When cutting sugarcane, don't say you are tired."

The aunt ran home without chatting a few words. She wanted to tell the good news to her family, which was guaranteed by the county magistrate.

When Village Chief Zhang found Li Mo out of breath, Li Mo had already eaten several sugar cane.

Li Mo and Crazy Chen sat on the edge of the field without any image, next to a calf.

The two ate sugarcane, while the calf ate bagasse and sugarcane leaves.

The corner of Village Chief Zhang's mouth twitched, so you are such an adult.

Village head Zhang asked cautiously: "My lord, what's the matter with you this time?"

Li Mo was busy and didn't raise his head: "It's nothing, just come over and see how the sugarcane and tea trees are growing. By the way, where are the vines? Why didn't I see the vines?"

The vines brought back from Luolai County were planted in Yejia Village. Later, Lin Ling and Zhang Zhongping found vines when they visited many places. They brought some back one after another and distributed them to the villagers of each village. to plant.

Village head Zhang patted his chest, as long as it's okay, I'm really afraid of saying a bad word from the mouth of the county magistrate.

Village Chief Zhang: "My lord, please follow me."

Grape vines are too precious, and the villagers are afraid of any mistakes.

So the village chief came up with a way to plant all the vines together.

Village head Zhang took Li Mo to a piece of farmland, and the villagers set aside good farmland to plant vines.

The vines are growing well, and the trellis has already been set up.

Li Mo has only taught Yejia Village, not Zhangjia Village. It should be the village chief Zhang who went to Yejia Village to learn scriptures. It can be seen that everyone is very hardworking.

Village head Zhang showed off to Li Mo: "My lord, is this vineyard okay?"

He has been to other villages, but Zhangjia Village has the best vines, and it is under centralized management, which makes the other village chiefs envious.

Li Mo nodded: "That's right. It seems that everyone is very hardworking. After waiting for a year or two, there will be a bumper harvest. We must manage it well and make no mistakes."

Li Mo also went to the rice fields, the ears of rice had begun to fill in, and they would be harvested soon.

I pinched several handfuls of rice ears, which are a little better than last year, and the real ones are more empty. Thanks to the fact that many families have raised cattle and sheep this year, there is a little bit of fertilizer.

It's just that there is no hybrid rice, and the yield is still very low.

However, after so many years of farming, it is the first time that there is such a high yield. Village head Zhang is very satisfied: "My lord, this year is another bumper harvest year."

Li Mo shook his head: "It still doesn't work, the output is too low."

Li Mo saw that there were still many wastelands around the village that no one had planted, and was very puzzled: "Mr. Zhang, why don't these lands be reclaimed?"

Here is so close to the water source, why no one opened up wasteland.

Village head Zhang was stunned: "Every village has a lot of wasteland."

In the eyes of Village Chief Zhang, this is a very normal thing. How can there be so many people working to open up wasteland, and other tasks can't be done every day.

Li Mo: "I encourage everyone to use all these lands. You can plant taro, soybeans, etc. In the future, there will not be much labor required for planting, and it will not be as difficult to serve as rice. All the things grown, as long as they are of low quality If there is a problem, the trading company will accept it, so don’t worry about not being able to sell it.”

Village Chief Zhang: "I'm afraid everyone will be overwhelmed."

Land reclamation requires manpower. Maybe everyone would rather be yuba than land reclamation.

Li Mo: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. Don't many people have cattle now? Let the cattle move. After harvesting, there will be a period of leisure. Hurry up to open up wasteland."

"There is also the matter of seeds. Don't worry about it. The yamen will provide everything you can't buy yourself."

Village head Zhang nodded quickly: "Yes, my lord, I'm going to call on everyone to open up wasteland."

On the way back, Li Mo was blocked by a group of villagers.

Not for anything else, just want to ask the children about reading.

"My lord, my son is six years old, can he still go to school now?"

"My daughter is eight years old this year. She is arguing to go to school every day. Can she still sign up?"

When the yamen servants went to the village to publicize, everyone did not actively sign up.

When the school was on vacation for the first time, the students came back from the holiday, but they envied the children in the village, and they all clamored to go to school.

Li Mo: "This year's registration has ended. If there are children of the right age at home, they can only learn after the spring of next year."

As soon as this remark came out, the parents were disappointed: "Why do we have to wait until next year's spring?"

"Does it make any difference to go now?"

Yes, why wait for spring next year?

Li Mo thought badly, just trying to whet your appetite, you don't cherish things that are too easy to get, and you were indifferent when you spent so much effort to promote them, but now you regret it.

Li Mo explained with a smile: "It's been so long since school started, and you can't keep up with their progress even if you send your children there.

In addition, this village will send one today, and that village will send another one tomorrow. There is no unified time. Which class should the master arrange for them to go to?

Everyone really wants to send their children to school, and we welcome it very much, which shows that everyone's awareness has risen to a higher level.Hand in the list years ago, and you can go to school after the beginning of spring. Don't worry, just wait patiently. "

You are right to think about it, anyway, it is not far away from Chun now, so let's wait a little longer, and use this time to teach the monkeys at home a lesson.

...

Lin Ling asked the people from the logistics company to bring back good news. They found the quicklime that Li Mo mentioned, and asked someone to bring back a few pieces, so that Li Mo could confirm whether it was true.

Li Mo opened the carriage and took a look, there were several pieces wrapped tightly in cloth.

When she opened it, she recognized the thing, and it really was quicklime.

Can't wait to tell Liu Li to bring out a bucket of water.

Li Mo looked at the crowd around him: "Everyone stay away."

Li Mo put a piece of quicklime on the open ground and poured a bucket of water on it.

Then came the moment to witness the miracle. I saw that the entire water boiled immediately, producing a large amount of steam. Standing by the side, one could feel the heat generated.

Everyone was dumbfounded, this thing is so powerful.If a person falls into it, will he be burned to death?

Li Mo was very satisfied, and quickly asked: "Where did you find it? Is there a lot of it?"

"In Qingyun State."

According to people from the logistics company, Qingyun Prefecture is a bit far from Songjiang County, where the most famous kiln factories are.

There are many mountains and a lot of limestone in the area, and there are many kilns. The quicklime is produced by the kilns, and their lime is used to build houses.

Li Mo made a final decision: "Notify Lin Ling immediately and they will buy it back."

After thinking about it for a while: "No, Song Min took people there directly and brought them back with Lin Ling and the others."

There are so many villages, and there are many grain drying farms, and the quicklime needed is not a small amount.

There is still some time before the rice harvest, so we should be able to make it in time.

Buying quicklime means paying for it again.

The master tightened his grip on the bank notes, and took out a 1000 tael one after a while.

Song Min looked at the master speechlessly: "What can I buy with these 1000 taels? Can't I give a few more?"

Li Mo snatched the bank notes and stuffed them all into Song Min's hands: "Take them all, it should be enough."

The master said pitifully, "Let's keep some at least."

Li Mo: "If these are not enough, you have to continue to spend."

The master cried and said with a mournful face: "It's just a little money, there is no more."

Uh oh, the silver bills have not been warmed up yet, and you have to take them out again, my lord, how can you be so troublesome, you think these silver bills will give birth, and once you take them out, they will be gone.

The price of quicklime in this era is definitely expensive, so it is better to prepare a little more money.

Li Mo told Song Min to pay attention to safety when returning, as quicklime is dangerous and dust-polluted.

Do not touch water, as soon as it touches water, it will cause a chemical reaction and turn into slaked lime, which will have no effect when taken back.

Just now when Li Mo was experimenting with water, Song Min and the others were also there, and they were indeed intimidated by the scene. Even if Li Mo didn't remind them, they would be cautious.

This time, Li Mo was not required to enter the village, and the servants were asked to directly call the village chiefs of each village.

Li Mo said straight to the point: "How big are the sun-drying farms in your villages?"

I heard that the yamen built a rice drying field for free, but the village head was so happy that there was such a good thing, and everyone would not have to work so hard to dry rice in the future.

Before coming here, people have already measured it, so it can be said that they came prepared.

There is a lot of quicklime bought back, but I am not afraid, I am only afraid that there will be less.

If you have too much, you can put it away and save it for other purposes.

If there is less, I have to buy it again. The journey is too far, which is a bit troublesome.

Li Mo had stayed in the countryside before, and had seen a grain drying field made of quicklime. He knew how to operate it and how much quicklime was needed per square meter.
