Chapter 149

If you want to say what everyone is happiest this winter, it is the bumper harvest of sugar cane.

The people who planted less, regretted in their hearts, why were they obsessed with ghosts at the beginning, and insisted on going against the county magistrate.

As happy as Ye Fan's family, this year they responded to Li Mo's call and planted three acres of land, and now they heard that the yamen has issued a notice to send sugar cane.

Ye Fan ran all the way from the entrance of the village, as if there was a ghost chasing after him, and when he got home, he didn't have time to catch his breath, so he hurriedly said: "Sweet, sugar, cane."

Mrs. Ye Liu was holding a bundle of firewood and was preparing to cook dinner. Seeing Ye Fan rushing, she thought something happened to the sugarcane field at home, so she hurriedly asked, "What happened to the sugarcane? Was it stolen?"

It's impossible even if you think about it. Every household has seeds, so who would steal them?

Ye Fan's elder brother Ye Feng poured him a bowl of cold boiled water: "Drink some water first, and speak slowly."

Finally, after drinking a large bowl of water, Ye Fan finally finished his sentence: "Mother, brother, the yamen is going to collect sugar cane, two cents a catty."

Only a "bang" sound was heard, and the firewood in Mrs. Ye Liu's hand fell to the ground: "Fan'er, what did you say?"

Ye Fan said loudly: "The yamen is going to collect sugarcane, two cents a catty."

Ye Feng was ecstatic: "What you said is true?"

Ye Fan: "It's absolutely true. The village chief just announced at the entrance of the village that we will start pulling sugarcane to the sugar factory tomorrow. He told us to prepare the sugarcane early tomorrow, and then we will all set off together."

Ye Liu's eyes suddenly filled with tears: "I knew it, there is nothing wrong with listening to the county magistrate."

Their family planted three acres of sugarcane land this year. There was not so much land in the first place. The two brothers just relied on hoes to turn the three acres of wasteland into fertile land.

Their family's life is much better now than in the past. In summer, relying on Li Mojiao's soy milk fried dough sticks, they went to the night market to set up a stall, and the business was OK.

Yejia Village is not far from the county seat, but the brothers are only twelve or thirteen years old. At first, Ye Liu did not agree with them to set up a night market, saying that the way back was not safe, and they had to go during the day.

But how can there be so much time during the day, and it is impossible to leave all the heavy work to the mother alone, and to prepare the food for the stall.

Although I don't make much money at night, walking at night is still frightening.

But thinking of the difficulties at home, the brothers gritted their teeth and persevered. In the burden they picked, there were two kitchen knives. If any thief who didn't have a good eye dared to come up, he would fight him desperately.

Fortunately, I haven't met anyone who robbed me in such a long time.

After this situation lasted for more than two months, some people in the village gradually began to set up night markets, and they walked together when they came back.

Finally having a companion, Ye Liu's heart is not so high.

Ye Feng scratched his head: "Mother, a catty of sugarcane costs two cents, how much sugarcane does our family have, and how much money can we get?"

Ye Fan and Ye Liushi were stumped by this question. The mother and son looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Usually, when you go to set up a stall, you are charged a few pennies, but now you have to sell so much, how do you calculate it.

Ye Fan thought for a while: "Why don't you ask my little sister to do the math when she gets home."

Ye Fan's younger sister just caught up with the age of 10 and went to school, and now she is the only student in the family.

Mrs. Ye Liu shook her head: "It's still a few days away from your sister Muxiu, don't worry, the Yamen won't steal our money."

At this moment, Ye Chen's family has always said her words are the imperial decree, and no one dares to refute.

Today, the couple fought for the first time, their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen.

The rice was not cooked, and a lot of things were smashed. The sons did not dare to come forward to persuade the fight, and hid in the room and sighed!
Why is it like that?Money chant!
When Li Mo forced everyone to grow sugarcane, Ye Chen objected and said a lot of sarcastic remarks behind his back, and was scolded by the village chief several times, but Ye Chen was a diehard with a thick skin, and still I do my own way.

There was no other way, so Village Chief Ye had to threaten Ye Chen's husband, Ye Xi, to plant more or less, so that everyone would feel better.

Otherwise, if the county magistrate finds out, they can't finish eating.

So the father and son used the inferior fields and planted less than a fraction of the land of sugarcane. Village Chief Ye was so angry that he almost hit someone with his shoes.

Ye Xi said with an innocent face: "Village chief, didn't you say to plant a little bit? I have planted a part of the land now and completed the task."

Village head Ye pointed at Ye Xi, and was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time. Finally, he could only say harshly: "You, you, you are really good, don't regret it in the future."

Unexpectedly, after the village chief left, seeing Ye Xi being so disobedient, Mrs. Ye Chen took out a portion of the land to plant sugar cane, and got very angry, saying that she would pull out the sugar cane seeds.

He was scolded again by the head of Ye Village, this time he was really angry, he called several clan elders, and yelled directly: "There is no end, I don't want to grow sugar cane, your family moved out of Ye Village, don't be ashamed here Now, how much land your family has wasted with this little bit of sugar cane, before this small piece of land was used for food, and I didn’t see your family getting rich.”

A few clan elders were embarrassed to scold Ye Chen, so they pointed their finger at Ye Xi and criticized him wildly, which made Ye Chen lose his mind.

Now that the notice has come down, the sugar cane will be delivered to the sugar factory tomorrow, but Ye Xi’s intestines are full of regrets, and he starts to complain: "When the village chief asked to plant sugar cane, you should listen to him. Look, the whole Yejia Village is now Since our family grows the least, many people must be laughing at us."

When Ye Chen heard this, it was okay, how dare she blame the old lady, she was looking for death, she slapped Ye Xi hard, and wanted to hit Ye Xi's arm, but who knew, Ye Xi was about to sit down, so she slapped Ye Xi directly On the face, a red slap was printed on the face.

Ye Xi is usually a bit wimpy, but Ye Chen never slapped him in the face, and the man's face disappeared all of a sudden.

Oh, not usually, not at all.

It is even more terrifying when a person with a good temper suddenly gets angry.

The usual anger, ridicule from the villagers, and today's beating made this man completely explode.

"Chen, do you still want to pass this day, or get out if you don't want to pass it."

When did Ye Chen suffer this kind of anger? Ye Xi's sudden outburst instantly ignited Ye Chen's anger.

So, from the beginning of complaining to each other and escalating to fighting, no one will let anyone else.

Attracting all the neighbors here, some people speculate whether Ye Xi wants to rise up and revitalize her husband.

In the end, the village head rushed over, called a few middle-aged men and women, and it took a lot of effort to separate the two, and the farce ended.

How many families are happy and how many are sad!
The first batch of brown sugar from the sugar factory had already been ordered by Liu Qing's parents before it was advertised in the store.

Liu Qing's parents saw that Liu Qing had no plans to go home for the time being, and the couple had nothing to do here, so they decided to think about Songjiang County.

Clothes, soap, etc. are what they want to develop. I heard that brown sugar has been produced by accident, but it has not been sold yet.

Together, the couple became the first agent of brown sugar.

Of course they didn't know what an agent was, it was Li Mo who explained it to them.

As the first agent, Li Mo's price is relatively affordable.

Unexpectedly, doing the brown sugar business on a whim made them soft-hearted in collecting money. Of course, this is a story.

It's already mid-December in a blink of an eye, and the Chinese New Year will be half a month away.

Li Mo was doomed not to spend the second year in Songjiang County, and had to go on a long trip again.

The one-year agreement with Feng Chen has expired, and it's time to fulfill the promise.

Li Mo can wait until the next year, but Feng Chen can't. The closer the day is, the more intense his desire for revenge will be.

If he didn't see those two people's bones turned to ashes, he would die with regret.

It is not so easy to travel far away, and as the number one in Songjiang County, there are many things to explain.

Li Mo called all the stewards to the meeting room and told her about her going on a long trip.

Zhou Xing'er looked at Li Mo staringly: "My lord, take me with you."

Going out with adults will definitely cause trouble, how can there be less excitement about her.

Yang Danni frowned: "My lord, how long are you going to be out?"

Normally, if Li Mo goes out for a day or two, he won't discuss it with everyone and just leave.

With such an official notification now, I feel that the time will not be short.

Li Mo: "I haven't decided yet. If it is soon, it will be a month or two, and if it is slow, it will be half a year."

"what?"

Li Mo's words were like a bolt from the blue sky, which was unacceptable.

Only Song Min didn't speak. He knew what Li Mo was going to do. He, Li Mo and Lin Ling were the only ones on the trip to Luolai County.

The one-year agreement with Feng Chen, counting the days, has arrived.

Song Min said firmly, "My lord, I'll go with you."

Li Mo refused: "No, Songjiang County needs you."

What Li Mo was going to do, no one dared to ask.

I'm just very worried about what happened to make the county magistrate go out for so long.

This meeting lasted for a long time, and Li Mo told everyone what he could think of or what might happen in the future, how to deal with it or countermeasures.

According to the current situation, normal operation is enough, but no one knows what unexpected situation will happen, so we must prepare in advance.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, this year Li Mo will not be in Songjiang County for the Chinese New Year, and the benefits must be arranged, all employees must not be treated badly, and everyone must have a comfortable New Year.

In the next four days, Li Mo went to various factories and hospitals to make detailed work arrangements.

The last stop is school.

Principal Cai looked at her suspiciously: "Mother-in-law, why do you feel like you are explaining the funeral?"

Li Mo: Shit, I'm afraid you don't understand, so I said such details, and I was disgusted.

Rolling his eyes: "I'm afraid you will make the school a mess while the official is away."

Principal Cai said angrily: "If I write my resignation now, your school will always be a breeze."

Li Mo continued to roll his eyes: "Sure enough, you can't joke when you're old."

Principal Cai picked up the ruler and made a gesture to hit Li Mo: "Who are you talking about getting old?"

I got acquainted with President Cai, and found that President Cai is more open-minded than expected, and he often jokes.

Principal Cai took out a letter from his pocket, handed it to Li Mo, and said solemnly: "I don't know what you are going to do, here is a letter, if you encounter a problem that cannot be solved.

You can go to an old friend of the old man. He owed the old man a favor back then. If you go to him, he will definitely help. There is the old man's signature and his address in it. "

Li Mo was very moved. Principal Cai came to Songjiang County from a long distance away from his hometown. He had done his utmost to benevolent. Now that he didn't know what happened to Li Mo, he took out the letter without hesitation.

Li Mo pretended to be relaxed and said: "You didn't even ask me what I was doing, you just gave me this favor, aren't you afraid of hurting you?"

Principal Cai said indifferently: "The biggest possibility is murder and arson. The old man is so old, what's the use of staying here."

Li Mo sighed: You are a god-man, and this official is going to kill and set fire.

In the backyard of the yamen, Crazy Chen handed over a thick notebook to Li Mo: "Master Li, this is all the records related to tea in Songjiang County this year."

In addition, he took out a very old book: "This is the experience of planting tea for more than [-] years. It contains the treatment and precautions about diseases and insect pests..."

Li Mo didn't accept his book, but looked at him seriously: "Old Chen, promise me to live a good life, Songjiang County needs you."

After a moment of madness, he slowly opened his mouth: "When the false becomes true, the true is also false, the eyes are dazzled and the mind is even more confused."

Mad Chen solemnly bowed to Li Mo: "This matter will inevitably drag Mr. Li, please forgive my selfishness, Mr. Li, but I will not die if I don't avenge this revenge."

Li Mo stopped him: "You can't say that, I promised you back then."

Li Mo has to go away for such a long time, so he must explain clearly to Mrs. Zhou.

It's just that he couldn't directly say to kill someone, but told her tactfully that he would help Crazy Chen find his long-lost relatives.

Mrs. Zhou is not so easy to deceive, she stared with beautiful eyes: "Who are you looking for, why do you have to go?
You are the county magistrate of Songjiang County now, how can you run around casually, and it takes such a long time to go.

Don't you trust other people?If you leave, who will be responsible for the problems in Songjiang County? "

The question made Li Mo speechless, mother, you are too smart, can't you embroider like other people, don't pay too much attention to me.

For others, Li Mo can use his authority to exert pressure, but for Zhou, he cannot.

Li Mo had a headache and had to think of an excuse.

Li Mo pointed her fingers right: "Mother, it's not that I don't believe them, it's just that the matter is a bit complicated, so I need to go there myself."

Zhou stepped forward and patted Li Mo's hand gently: "Do you know that once you act like this, you are lying."

Li Mo quickly put down her hand in fright, and looked at Mrs. Zhou pitifully: "Mother, I'm not lying."

Zhou said angrily: "I gave birth to you, I don't know what kind of temperament you have, let's be honest, what are you doing?"

Li Mo's eyes turned around, and suddenly his eyes lit up, by the way, why didn't I think of it.

"Mother, Mr. Chen said that there is a kind of tea in Xilong County. If you can get it back, it will definitely be the economic pillar of Songjiang County in the future. Think about it. If you send other people there, the road is not safe. What if something happens? ? Their parents would worry too."

Zhou sighed inwardly, knowing that Li Mo had something to hide, the kind who would not tell the truth even if he was beaten to death.

And it has something to do with Crazy Chen, what can she do?
The child has her own thoughts when she grows up, and she is still the leader of Songjiang County, so she can only let her go.

What she can do now is to help Li Mo pack her luggage.

Before Li Mo left, he handed King Xuan's token to the Zhou family. It was a good thing, but he was afraid that if something really happened, if people found out, it would hurt King Xuan.

Although Huangpuxuan is not a very good person, there is no need to involve him. We are good people and we cannot implicate innocent people.

On December [-]th, with everyone's reluctance and Zhou's worry, Li Mo set off.

During the year in Songjiang County, Kuang Chen had already learned to ride a horse. He said that what he lost was only one hand, not his heart.

On the third day after Li Mo left, Chun Fan realized something was wrong belatedly.

The yamen is not as lively as usual, and it always feels lifeless, and everyone has no energy to do things.

Asking Li'er what's going on, Li'er looked at him like a fool: "Isn't it always like this? What's wrong?"

When writing a letter to King Xuan, when he wrote the word Li Mo, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Li Mo for three days.

In the past, when Li Mo got busy, he would eat and live in the factory, and he didn't come back for a few days, but he would tell Zhou or Li'er in advance, and everyone took it for granted.

It's just that this time Chunfan didn't hear any gossip about which factory Li Mo was in.

After Chunfan searched Songjiang County, he was very sure that Li Mo was really not in Songjiang County. The question was where did she go?
Chunfan wailed in his heart, it's over, it's over, the prince is going to kill me, even Li Mo doesn't know where he is, and what news is he sending.

So Chunfan wrote the simplest letter: "Li Mo is no longer in Songjiang County, and her whereabouts are unknown."

Let Costin send it to the capital quickly.
