Chapter 221

When he was about to go back to the county, Wang Biyun really wanted to scold Mrs. Cheng, how could there be such a shameless person in the world, seeing Wang Jingjing by his side, she refrained from saying anything, but her face was super dark.

Li Mo felt that this girl had a clear distinction between love and hate, and she was extremely cute, so she laughed and said, "We've arrived at Wangjia Village, you should go home and have a look."

Wang Biyun didn't refuse, and ran home in a hurry, and came back after staying for less than a quarter of an hour.

Li Mo shook her head, what a silly girl, she was too sincere.

Mrs. He's temperament is very weak, when Mrs. Cheng went back to her room to rest, Li Mo gave her a hard time.

Li Mo didn't want to take care of it at first, as Cheng said, this is someone else's housework, what right do you have to take care of it.

But Wang Shitou also has two daughters, and the flowery girl cannot be destroyed by Cheng's hands. As parents, Wang Shitou and his wife must take this responsibility.

If you don't scold this kind of person, you won't reflect on yourself, and you will always be cowardly. Maybe tragedy will happen.

Wang Jingjing was so happy that she was about to fly. When she came out, her mother gave her 500 Wen, telling her not to worry about her family all the time, but to work hard in the garment factory.

The little girl seemed to see a bright future and a free atmosphere.

...

"Li Mo, where are you going? Wait for me!" Ye Qingchen chased after him, and Li Mo galloped ahead.

The guards simply didn't see it, young master, are you a bitch, chasing after Mr. Li every day.

Didn't you see that Mr. Li is as busy as a spinning top? He has no time to talk to you at all, it should be said that he doesn't want to talk to you at all.

There are also those guards sent by King Xuan, all of them are staring at you, I am afraid that you have done something heinous and bad to Mr. Li, it is simply inexplicable, what bad things can you do?

When approaching Zhongjia Village, Li Mo stopped and looked back at Ye Qingchen: "Ye Qingchen, are you free? Why are you always following me?"

Ye Qingchen gave her a blank look: "I said that you, the county magistrate, are really tired, can't you order your subordinates to do things?"

Ye Qingchen has also been here for several days, from being curious at the beginning to being extremely bored later, Songjiang County is so big, there is nothing interesting to do, he ate everything in the night market, and the next step is to go to Yamen for dinner, See how the Yamen's food is.

But Li Mo didn't give him a chance, so he wanted to pester Li Mo every day.

But Li Mo didn't have time to talk to him at all. He spent very little time in the Yamen, either in this village or in that factory.

It was hard to catch Li Mo today, and I didn't even want to follow him.

The corner of Li Mo's mouth twitched: "If you have something to say, if you want to fart, then let it go."

Ye Qingchen sneered: "Rude!"

Li Mo smiled but said: "We are in the countryside, and we are definitely not as good as your capital. Where did you come from and where do you go back? Don't pester me all day long, are you annoying?"

Ye Qingchen sighed: "I fell out with my father, and I have no place to go for the time being, I can only stay in Songjiang County, you can't drive me away."

Li Mo didn't bother to talk to him and continued walking to the village because he didn't speculate in half a sentence and answered irrelevant questions.

"My lord, you are here." The head of Zhongjia Village greeted him with a smile on his face.

Li Mo: "Mr. Zhong, are you busy these days?"

Village Chief Zhong stroked his beard and smiled: "Thanks to your lord, everyone in the village is very busy."

This is the truth. After Li Mo came back, all businesses were operating normally, and everyone started to get busy again, bean curd sticks, preserved eggs, bamboo products and so on.

Village head Zhong looked at the handsome Ye Qingchen, his eyes flashed with surprise, where did this young man come from, so handsome.

Just about to ask Li Mo who this is, the pomp is so grand!

Li Mo: "Don't worry about him, he's just a passerby."

Ye Qingchen: "..."

Li Mo: "Lead the way ahead."

Village Chief Zhong: "My lord, this way please!"

Li Mo: "I planted taro this year, and I will plant rice next year. They can't be planted consecutively. Otherwise, not only will the yield be low, but it will also be prone to pests and diseases."

Village Chief Zhong: "Yes, my lord! I will definitely make it clear to the villagers."

Soon, the group arrived at a paddy field with lush green leaves. In this winter, there are still green leaves, which is really a rare sight.

The leaves are like big lotus leaves, waving to people in the wind, a large continuous piece, so beautiful!
Li Mo nodded in satisfaction: "Have you dug it out and looked at it?"

Village head Zhong said proudly: "Yes, and the output is very high."

"How many acres were planted in total?"

"Two hundred acres!"

Li Mo took the hoe in the hands of Village Chief Zhong, went down with a few hoe, and after a while, he dug out bunches of heavy taro.

It's not very big, but there are a lot of them. Li Mo doesn't know what kind it is. The logistics company brought it back from other places.

I dug several in a row, and the situation is gratifying!
Based on this situation, it is conservatively estimated that the yield per mu should be 1500 catties.

Of course, it is impossible to compare with the modern Lipu taro, which has a high yield of about 2500 kilograms per mu.

Of course, fertilizers were a big problem in ancient times. Without chemical fertilizers, everything was ordinary fertilizers made from farmyard manure or other things!
Village head Zhong cleared away the soil and cut the roots, and the two cooperated tacitly.

Looking at each taro, Village Chief Zhong couldn't help laughing: "This year's weather is good, plus there is enough fertilizer, and it rained a few times a while ago. The taro grows well, is big, and has a high yield."

Li Mo was also very satisfied. After digging out all the [-] acres of taro, it must be very spectacular and earn a lot of money.

After Village Chief Zhong got excited, he began to feel uneasy again: "My lord, can this taro really sell for a good price?"

In the past, every household in the village planted taro, but it was not on a large scale. If one or two were planted in the fields or corners, it would be good if there was a harvest, and it didn’t matter if there was no harvest.

This year, Li Mo took Zhongjia Village as a demonstration village and planted a large number of taro!
Taro likes humidity and is afraid of drought. It has few pests and diseases and is easy to take care of.

It can be said that there is no need for manual labor, but it is busy when planting, fertilizing, weeding and harvesting.

At the beginning, the people in the village were very resistant. Why should we grow taro? How much can this stuff be sold for?

But who is Li Mo, she is the sky here, who dares to disobey an order.

Of course, on the surface it is obedience, but behind it is another set, that is, obedience and disobedience, one part of the land is also planted, and two parts of the land are also planted, what can you do to me.

Just like when we were asked to plant sugar cane, many people resisted. You asked me to plant two acres of land, but I would plant one piece of land!

Village head Zhong talked all kinds of things, so he persuaded the villagers to plant all the paddy fields connected with taro!
Li Mo raised his eyebrows: "Do you believe me?"

Village Chief Zhong smiled smugly: "That's not what it means."

Li Mo assured him: "Don't worry, the price is definitely more expensive than sweet potatoes, one penny more per catty, tell the people in the village to dig out all the taro in the past few days, it must be intact, there must be no wounds, and don't do it on purpose. It's all muddy on top."

Village Chief Zhong looked at Li Mo excitedly: "My lord, is what you said true?"

"Yes!"

"Then I'm going to inform the villagers now to dig out all the taro."

"Then go get busy."

Village head Zhong ran back to the village in a hurry, shouting to everyone he met: "Hurry up, hurry up, go dig taro, the county magistrate is going to buy taro, everyone, hurry up."

It's hard for him, an old man, to run so fast. Li Mo wanted to tell him to walk slower, but who knew that he couldn't see people in a flash. His speed was comparable to that of a sprint champion, and Li Mo even sighed.

After Village Chief Zhong left, Ye Qingchen came up leisurely.

Looking at the black taro on the ground, he looked disgusted: "What the hell is this?"

Li Mo: "The fragrance is like ambergris but still white, and the taste is like milk, which is more pure. Have you never heard of this?"

Ye Qingchen: "Can this stuff be eaten?"

Li Mo: "I really doubt how you grew up."

Ye Qingchen: "I grew up eating."

Li Mo: "I thought you grew up eating shit."

Ye Qingchen looked disgusted: "Vulgar!"

Such a good opportunity, how could we not have some roasted sweet potatoes and roasted taro?

Li Mo told Liang Xu, "Go get some sweet potatoes!"

It's early winter, and the sweet potatoes have not been confiscated, they are still in the field!
Liang Xu moved quickly, knowing Li Mo's intentions, the sweet potatoes he picked were all medium in size.

After making enough food and clothing by himself, Li Mo walked to the rice fields that had been harvested.

Liang Xu had already picked up a lot of stones, and the two of them built an earthen stove with their hands, added some firewood, and made the stove blazing red, then stuffed sweet potatoes and taro that had been dug out just now, and covered it with some charcoal The ash suppressed the open flame.

Ye Qingchen was a little dumbfounded: "What does this mean?"

Liang Xu has always disliked Ye Qingchen, so he seized the opportunity and said, "I only eat pigs that can't work."

Ye Qingchen was not angry, shook the fan, touched his face, and said coquettishly: "You are jealous that my son looks better than you."

Liang Xu looked disdainful: "Tch, your appearance is much worse than our prince."

Just as the two continued to quarrel, a strong fragrance wafted out from the earthen stove, not to mention Ye Qingchen, even the guards were drooling and their stomachs were already growling.

After a while, the sweet potatoes and taro were ready to simmer. Li Mo scraped away the dust, and dug out a steaming black sweet potato from the inside. After blowing on it, he threw it to Ye Qingchen, and picked it up by himself. A taro!
Ye Qingchen catches it, but it looks like a carbon ball and burns his hands so badly that he can't even hold it or throw it.

The most important thing is that he doesn't know how to eat it. This thing is dirty, can it be eaten?Will it be poisonous if eaten?
And Liang Xu has already peeled the skin skillfully, put it in his mouth, it is sweet and delicious!

Ye Qingchen could only blow on it while turning it over. He didn't eat it in his mouth for a long time, but it made the fragrance spread farther. His hands were black, even blacker than that sweet potato!It doesn't match his coquettish appearance at all!

Li Mo almost didn't laugh out loud, and opened a small one after letting it air out for a while, and bit it.

Steaming hot, fragrant, still the taste in memory, I think taro is better than sweet potato.

With crooked smiling eyes, she asked, "How is it, is it delicious?"

Sweet potatoes, the longer they are stored in the cellar, the higher the sweetness, and the most special thing about it is this sweetness.

The sweet potatoes just pulled out from the ground are not so sweet, but they are more fresh.

Ye Qingchen was stunned when he saw the man with dust on the tip of his nose and a wide smile.

At this moment, his heart suddenly thumped!
It feels like the person is blooming like a flower.

Ye Qingchen lowered his head in embarrassment, broke open a piece of sweet potato, and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

He didn't taste whether it was fragrant or sweet, he just felt that the mouthful was like fire, and it burned directly into his stomach.

People in the village have been digging taro with tools one after another.

At this time, Li Mo was too embarrassed to continue eating, so she stood up and walked towards the taro field.

"My lord, you said that taro is one penny more expensive than sweet potato, is that true?"

Before Li Mo approached, the villagers couldn't wait to run over and ask!
Li Mo: "It's true, it's truer than real gold, but you have to guarantee the quality."

"My lord, don't worry."

The field has already started to be busy. If you listen carefully, someone is complaining: "I told you to grow a little more, but I didn't listen. Who knows that you only planted two cents of land. Are you a fool?"

The man who was scolded looked angry: "It seems that it is all my fault. When the village chief asked to plant taro, have you forgotten how you strongly opposed it? Why is it all my fault now? You There is nothing wrong with that."

His wife is not a person who is willing to let go: "Aren't you the head of the family, why can't you be the head of this small decision?"

"you…"

...

In the study, Li Mo stretched her waist, looking very satisfied with the ledger in her hand.

The sales of taro are very good. Every store will tell how to cook the taro when it is on sale.

Aside from the traditional cooking and eating, or steaming and eating, taro steamed pork ribs, taro syrup, fried taro, etc., these fresh eating methods have opened up new taste buds for everyone. The taro in some stores has been snapped up. They are sold out, and the goods must be urgently transferred from Songjiang County.

Depending on the situation, we will have to plant more varieties next year. All villages must plant. The question now is whether everyone can come here, or is there enough paddy fields?
When I was thinking about planning for next year, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside, and without knocking on the door, I saw a figure barging in.

"My lord!" After calling out two words, Liu Fang stopped talking, as if her words were stuck in her throat, extremely wronged.

Liu Fang's character is carefree, just like a boy, and she has never seen her look so wronged.

Li Mo stood up suddenly: "What's the matter? Sit down first, and speak slowly."

Liu Fang didn't sit down, took a deep breath and said, "My mother wants me to marry, but I don't want to marry yet!"

After getting married, you have to support your husband and raise your children at home.

The girls in the yamen are not married yet, so she doesn't want to marry.

But it was her mother who made her marry, how could she disobey her parents' orders?

Li Mo smiled: "If you marry someone, you can marry someone. What is there to be wronged? Don't you like the other party?"

Liu Fang: "But, if I get married, I can't start a horse-drawn carriage or take a bus."

Liu Fang is now the steward of the carriage bus, and there are dozens of people under her command, basically all of them are brought up by her, and she is reluctant to part with it.

Li Mo smiled and said, "You silly girl, as long as you don't resign or commit crimes, you will still be in charge of the carriage and bus, and no one can take your place."

Liu Fang sobbed: "But my mother said that after I get married, I have to stay at home and not go anywhere. Women should stay at home honestly and take care of their husbands and children."

Li Mo: "Look at the current Songjiang County, how many women are really supporting their husbands and raising their children at home?"

Yamen, clothing factories, cosmetics factories, soap factories, shops, etc., many women, some are married, some are unmarried, have you ever heard that someone must stay at home with a husband and a child?

On the contrary, it was precisely because women came out to work that the living conditions at home gradually improved.

Liu Fang held back her tears and said, "But what about the baby? I have to take the baby..."

Li Mo said lightly: "There is half a year's leave for childbirth, and the wages are still paid. After half a year, you will come to work. With your current income, you can definitely ask someone to help you take care of the child, or ask your mother or mother-in-law to help you.

Your future husband insists that you stay at home and take care of your husband and children, and you are not allowed to come out to work. I think this man can ignore it. "

This kind of male chauvinism will only look down on women. After Liu Fang marries, she may not be happy.

Liu Fang hesitated for a moment: "But I can't convince my mother."

There was a smile in Li Mo's eyes: "Being a good wife and mother is not as fun as being a manager!"

Liu Fang said eagerly: "I'll call my mother over, can you tell her something?"

"it is good!"

...

Soon I received a reply from Huangpuxuan, a total of two letters.

A letter said that people had been sent from the capital to investigate cases of embezzlement by Taishou Liu and others who neglected human life.

After the investigation, all these people will be taken to the capital, and those who come to be sentenced will be sentenced, and those who should be exiled will be exiled.

The other letter is full of misses on several sheets of paper!
Li Mo's face turned red, so you are such a coquettish Huangpuxuan.

At the same time, she also mentioned that the post of prefect was already vacant, and she was asked if she would like to be the prefect. She also came with a letter of appointment. If she didn't want to, just tear up the letter of appointment.

Li Mo showed everyone the letter of appointment, and asked, "Do you think I want to be the prefect?"

Lin Ling said aggrievedly: "You are the county magistrate of Songjiang County, and you are only our lord. If you become the prefect, you are everyone's lord. I don't like it."

 Li Mo: My sister is the county magistrate who has no feelings. Starting today, I will focus on infrastructure construction and have no time for dating.

  Huangpuxuan: What did this king do wrong?Ruthlessness is the character of this king, you readers really deserve to be killed, this is not
