Chapter 233 The Battle Against Poverty 2
The magistrates of the county committee were also dumbfounded, they didn't expect that the prefect was so young.

At the same time, I can't figure out where I lost. When I was at this age, I was still on the way to take the imperial examination. Why did I hit people so hard?

Therefore, the road to imperial examinations in ancient times was too long. Decades were like a day, and I don’t know how much money was wasted.

These county magistrates have rich experience in officialdom, but they may still be struggling as county magistrates because they have no background or no superiors.

They didn't dare to underestimate Li Mo. It is said that the former prefect and the county magistrates under his jurisdiction were all taken over by this kid.

Before they came, they were uneasy, whether they would not stay for many days, and then repeated the same mistakes and embarked on a road of no return.

Li Mo did not embarrass these old men, it is not easy for everyone, so please understand!
However, in principle, things must not be messed up.

Li Mo said very seriously: "I don't ask you to do much, but you must do two things, the first is to be honest and honest!
The second point is not to bully the people.

If you can't do it, leave as soon as possible, if you choose to stay, you must do it, otherwise, this official will definitely treat you badly.

How Taishou Liu and the magistrates of various counties were arrested, someone must have told you before you came.

Today, they are still locked in the prison cells in Songjiang County. They are the best lessons from the past. I hope everyone can remember the original intention of entering the officialdom and their mission. "

In this cold weather, the county magistrates were sweating profusely from fear. On the first day of reporting, there were so many rules. It seemed that they had to be careful in the future.

After the warning, Li Mo smiled: "Don't be too nervous, I won't eat people, as long as you don't do anything out of line, I won't make things difficult for you."

"The lower officials will always remember your lord's instruction." The old men hurriedly expressed their opinions.

They are all so old, and they have no good expectations. They have no background and no ability. How much can they get?
It's better to be honest and down-to-earth and do a good job. I hope that Yunning County will be the last stop of their official career. They don't want to be famous in history, but they want to be bright and aboveboard, and return to their hometowns cleanly!
Li Mo talked about the general situation of each county, and hoped that after they took office, they would enter their roles as soon as possible and build their respective counties well.

Li Mo emphasized again: "Your duty is not to stay in the yamen and listen to other people's one-sided speeches, but to go to the fields, walk the streets and alleys, understand the suffering of the people, and solve the worries of the people!
There are a total of 10 counties in Yunning County, and there will be a competition for three years to see which county has the best development and which county is at the bottom..."

This meeting lasted for a long time, and Li Mo talked a lot, and it was very complicated.But the focus is on the two major aspects of road construction and poverty alleviation.

It is said that building roads is the first step in getting rich, and all county magistrates are required to implement this as soon as possible.

Poverty alleviation is a long-term battle, and it can only be done step by step.

After getting rid of poverty, there are children's education issues, medical issues, etc. Songjiang County has made great progress and is a model for all counties to learn from.

The old men feel that they can't remember with ten heads. Why is it so difficult? How is it different from what they imagined before?This is not the first time they have been officials, and they have never been so wordy.

You have to go into the fields and walk through the streets. What is the difference between this and a farmer?
They are here to be officials, not to be farmers, let alone to be sympathetic to the people.

Just now I said that exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes have been abolished, so how will they survive in the future?This is a big problem.

Some people have already begun to regret, why come here?Is it too late to go back now?
But it's useless to regret, an order from the court, disobedience is disobedience, and their officials have gone too far.

After the old men left, Zhou Xing'er looked worried: "My lord, will these old stubborn people do what you say? I think it's very difficult."

Li Mo smiled slightly: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. You have to give them a period of time to adapt. After the adaptation period, you have to follow this general direction. If you can't do it, then leave and replace them with another batch!"

The master is also worried: "It's a mess, I don't know when these county magistrates will be able to clean it up."

Li Mo is not worried: "How difficult can it be? They are all veterans."

The population in ancient times was not as large as in modern times, and it was not so complicated. Many things were done by the people below, and the county magistrate didn't need to do everything himself!
Zhou Xing'er: "I always have a hunch that these old men are definitely going to make trouble."

Master: "You can't think in the right direction."

Zhou Xing'er stuck out her tongue: "It's hard."

...

In every village today, land reclamation has become the most popular topic nowadays!
The prefect said that there is no need to pay taxes for the first three years, what a rare opportunity this is.

The family has limited conditions and plans to plant fruit trees. It is said that fruit trees are easier to take care of, as long as they are planted, they will not die of drought.You don’t have to wait like your ancestors, it’s much easier than planting rice. After three years, you may already have a lot of fruit, just waiting to count the money!It's beautiful when you think about it.

It is winter now, and there are only vegetables that are common in winter, such as Chinese cabbage, white radish, and bitter wheat vegetables.

There are vegetables, but to fill the stomach, we still have to rely on rice.

As long as people are diligent, willing to work, down-to-earth, and hard-working, there will be achievements.

But... In Li Mo's opinion, it was far from enough.

In ancient times, no matter which dynasty it was, it was always a big agricultural country.

If you can't make everyone eat well, what kind of prosperity is it!
The letter from Huangpuxuan said that the household department has sent a team of more than 30 people to Songjiang County, and these people are responsible for the research of hybrid rice!

The capital is located in the north, and wheat is grown, so it is impossible to study hybrid rice.

If you want to study hybrid rice, it is actually best to go to Hainan, where rice can be grown three times a year.

It's just that this Great Jin Kingdom is no longer modern China, so Li Mo doesn't know where the corresponding Hainan is!

three years?five years?ten years?I don't know if it can be researched.

Huangpuxuan also allocated part of the funds to fully support Li Mo, and someone handed him a pillow when he was really sleepy.

Sometimes when I think about it, although Huangpuxuan is a bit domineering, there is no need to question his kindness to Li Mo.

Perhaps it is time to consider important life events, lest Huangpuxuan become an old man.

Just, temporarily unavailable.

At this moment, many thoughts flashed through Li Mo's mind.

The main task of the logistics company now is to go to other places and bring back the fruit trees and seeds that Li Mo wants as soon as possible.

Spring will begin soon, and these must be implemented as soon as possible. Delaying the beginning of spring is equivalent to delaying the start of spring for a year.

...

However, when these old men arrived at the counties under their jurisdiction, they began to lose their temper.

"You, you, and you stand up." County Magistrate Lu of Longqing County pointed to the female yamen servants standing in front.

It was very late yesterday when I came to Longqing County, and the county magistrate Lu hadn't had time to call all the government officials over to report, so he called all the officials over early this morning to get to know each other.

Who knows, there is a woman here, what kind of words, this is a yamen, not someone's backyard, isn't it a mess.

"See you, sir!" The girls looked at Magistrate Lu anxiously, listening to the tone, this magistrate is not easy to get along with, and they don't know what they did wrong when they met for the first time.

Magistrate Lu frowned: "Clean up and leave the yamen immediately."

The girls looked at him in disbelief, unable to speak a word.

They are all newcomers and are natives of Longqing County. When the yamen recruited people, they hesitated for a long time before summoning up the courage to apply.

Fortunately, they all succeeded. When they heard Lin Ling say: You have passed the interview, and you are welcome to become a member of the yamen servants.

They were so excited that they cried, they never thought that their daughters would defeat many men and become errands in the yamen.

County Magistrate Lu said solemnly: "This is the yamen, not the place where you embroider. Wherever you come and go."

When he was in the prefect's mansion, he didn't meet Zhou Xing'er and others, and he didn't notice that there were female servants, otherwise he wouldn't be so surprised!

Surprise and sadness are written on the faces of the girls. They have only been employed for a few days, and they are so unwilling to return home for no reason!
Lin Ling happened to walk over. She was just helping out temporarily and did not belong to Longqing County. When she heard the words of County Magistrate Lu, she immediately became angry: "Master County Magistrate, what is a yamen is not a place for embroidery."

When County Magistrate Lu saw another girl coming over, he was even angrier: "Who? Entered the yamen so grandiosely, come here, and drive her out."

Lin Ling kicked away the chair in front of her and said loudly, "This is your way of being an official?"

Mr. Sun, who is next to Magistrate Lu, came from his original post with him. He is younger than him and has a more flexible mind.

Master Sun tugged at his sleeve: "My lord, absolutely not, look at her attire, she looks like she is from the prefect's mansion, she must have come here under the orders of the prefect, let's understand the situation first."

Only then did County Magistrate Lu look at Lin Ling seriously, and Lin Ling was glaring at him!
It's not that magistrate Lu is not a good person, but that he is very stubborn and antique.

After reading the books of sages for so many years, I think that a woman's lack of talent is a virtue, and the Yamen is a place where men stay, a place of sunshine, how can women come in!

At the meeting yesterday, Li Mo only mentioned education, but did not specifically mention the education of all children, including girls.

Lin Ling herself has such a fiery temper. She only becomes gentle when she treats Li Mo. Now the new county magistrate, the first thing she does when she takes office is to dismiss all the girls she recruited with great difficulty. It's maddening.

Lin Ling said angrily: "Master County Magistrate, may I ask what did these girls do wrong? You made such a fuss. Besides, girls are also human beings. They entered the Yamen under the same conditions and went through layers of screening. Why did they Is there something wrong? The prefect said that we women are human beings, and we can still do what men do. I have been working in Songjiang County for so many years, and no one has ever dared to treat female government servants as a burden."

The master hurriedly smoothed things over: "Girl, you misunderstood. Your Excellency didn't mean to blame them, but just wondered why there were women in the yamen. Since it is the order of the prefect, let's obey it."

After finishing speaking, he also signaled to County Magistrate Lu that it was almost over. If he really pissed off these people, they would be the ones to suffer.

On the first day of taking office, it will be difficult to convince the public in the future if you make such a big fight and want to fire someone, so why don't you gain a foothold here!
County Magistrate Lu paused, and finally realized the reality. Since the prefect allowed it, then let’s keep it. If it doesn’t work, I’ll change it later: “If that’s the case, then let’s keep it.”

The girls breathed a sigh of relief, their jobs were finally saved. "

But Lin Ling looked unhappy, fortunately she was here, otherwise these girls would have been fired, so what about other counties?
No, I have to go back and tell the adults immediately!

The reason why the adults recruited female yamen servants at the beginning was to help women get rid of the shackles of the family and become financially independent, so that they could improve their status whether in their natal family or in-law's family.

Now when these old stubborn people come up, the first thing they do is contrary to the original intention of the adults.

...

"Master Li, they say that seeing each other every day is like three autumns. Look how many autumns have passed between us. Look, I think you want to lose weight."

Just as Li Mo was thinking about what training to give to the common people in the study, a chilling voice sounded.

Li Mo didn't need to look up to know who it was, except for Ye Qingchen's coquette.

Sure enough, a gentleman with a jade face came stepping forward, dressed in white, his handsome face was as shiny as the finest warm jade, his beautiful thin lips had a faint smile, and his whole body exuded an irresistible beauty. Huacai.

Qiu Yu had already drawn out her long sword, and stabbed with it, wow, this annoying Ye Qingchen is really lingering, the adults have come to the government office, why is he still following?

Ye Qingchen lightly blocked it with the fan in his hand: "Qiu Yu, you are not likable at all, and my son is not looking for you, so why be nervous."

Qiu Yu: "Stay away from us adults."

Ye Qingchen looked contemptuous: "My lord? If I remember correctly, your master is King Xuan. Say, have you betrayed Huangpuxuan?"

Li Mo: "Ye Qingchen, what can you do with me?"

Ye Qingchen had a resentful expression on his face: "Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do? You have no conscience. I've been here for so long, and you haven't come to see me once."

Li Mo rubbed the goosebumps on his hands: "Speak human."

To be honest, Li Mo didn't think of Ye Qingchen at all, and they didn't know each other well, so why did they ask him?
This kind of son, who is idle and has nothing to do, is almost moldy. I really don't understand why he still doesn't leave!
Ye Qingchen bent down, moved a little closer, and blinked: "I just miss you."

Qiu Yu couldn't bear it anymore, and stabbed with another sword, but was stopped by Ye Qingchen's guards, fearing to disturb Li Mo, several people fought outside the study.

Li Mo leaned back: "Don't speak human words, you don't need your face, the door is behind you, get up immediately, get out."

Ye Qingchen was not angry because of Li Mo's attitude, but stood up straight, lifted his robe, and sat down gracefully, as if the seat under his buttocks was not an ordinary wooden stool, but a dragon chair: "Lord Li, I'm here to talk business with you."

Li Mo sat upright all of a sudden: "What business?"

The smile on Ye Qingchen's face suddenly became brighter: "Guess!"
