Chapter 250 Studying Hybrid Rice
Liang Xu was so angry that he wanted to hit someone. What does it mean to live in such a place that humiliates one's status? How old are you? Master Li is still the future Princess Xuan. She doesn't even have her own mansion, so she gave all her wealth to Yunning County , why are you talking so much here.

What's wrong with this place, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the scenery is beautiful, and the folk customs are simple, can it be compared with the smoky place in the capital?

Li Mo didn't get angry, and asked calmly: "Master Xiao, what kind of residence can be worthy of your status."

Mr. Xiao pondered for a moment, and pointed to the village not far away. Behind the village was a small mountain, and in front of the village was a large pond. According to Mr. Feng Shui, facing the river and backing against the mountain, it is a treasure land of geomantic omen. !
Master Xiao said brazenly: "Kick out the villagers in that village and build a manor in this village. It's not very demanding. You see, there are so many people here. At least one master gets a yard. There are so many servants. The place to live can’t be too small.”

The backyard of the government office did not have so many places for these people to live in. Li Mo arranged them in the inn. The food and drink could not be said to be the best, but they were not bad. They were entertained according to the medium standard of the inn, and all the expenses were paid by the government office.

I haven't received any money from the court yet, so it seems that I have to pay in advance.

As soon as Mr. Xiao said this, he was unanimously approved by other officials. They didn't know how long they would stay in this ghostly place, and they didn't bring their concubine with them. They didn't know how to spend the long night.

I heard that the brothels in this place are not very good. Not to mention the girls are not beautiful enough, they are not gentle enough, they are vulgar, and their talents are even worse. They are incomparable with those in the capital.

Li Mo always had a smile on his face, and listened carefully to Master Xiao's words.It makes people feel that she is very talkative, and she is still very stupid.

Only Chunfan knew that she was about to take someone to be stabbed, so she couldn't help but took two steps back, afraid of being accidentally injured.

Another official, Luo Hongfa, couldn't help but speak: "Lord Li, I waited thousands of miles from the capital to come to Yunning County, and let us live in this small house. How can you feel sorry for yourself?"

These words simply touched Master Xiao's heart.

Mr. Xiao is narrow-minded, he must retaliate, and has a strong desire to control.

He has been an official in the capital, although his official position is not high, but it is the imperial city, much more prestigious than a small local official.

Later, when he became Da Situ, his official fortune was quite prosperous and he was promoted quickly.

He never allowed his subordinate officials to disobey him, and ignored him. As long as he was disobedient, he would use various means to clean up or force people to leave.

Li Mo is the future Princess Xuan. It can only be said that it is the future. There are many women after King Xuan. There is not much more than her, and there is a lot less than her. Except for King Xuan, she has no backer at all.

For a princess without any backstage, they have nothing to fear.

What's more, Li Mo is still just a prefect, and his official position is far away from him!

Li Mo said calmly: "It's okay if you want to build a manor, but who will pay for it? You want to drive the villagers away, who will pay the compensation? I'll tell the official after you have discussed it."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was stunned. What is the problem?
As a magistrate, isn't this your responsibility?

Who even said the money?Isn't this a joke?
Everyone accused Li Mo of being wrong, did you do such a thing?If you don't please us, you will suffer in the future!

Lord Xiao sneered coldly: "Master Li, did you make a mistake? You are the prefect of Yunning County, shouldn't you pay the money?"

Li Mo spread his hands: "You also know that I am the prefect of Yunning County. Our Yunning County is too poor to have the money to build a manor. If you don't have money, don't talk about it. You can only live in this small house. Of course you can also Apply for funding from the imperial court, when will you receive the money, and when will I help you build a big house."

Luo Hong said brazenly: "Lord Li, I am surprised by this statement. We came to Yunning County to study hybrid rice because you suggested to the emperor. The visitor is a guest. Shouldn't you satisfy the guest's wish?"

"That's right, it's too much. Since we are allowed to live in such a small house, what is the intention behind it?"

"I think she is afraid of revealing her secrets, because she doesn't understand what hybrid rice is. She arranged us here so that we can't communicate with the outside world. No one knows what happened here. When she becomes Princess Xuan, no one will know." Dare to say her fault."

The words became more and more outrageous, and gradually deviated from the theme, and finally turned into Li Mo's scheming and means to marry into the royal family.

Liang Xu roared loudly: "Shut your stinking mouths, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

He is not afraid of these people, so what if he kills them, the emperor will pursue them, and it will be fatal!
Lord Xiao pointed at him: "What are you? How dare you teach me a lesson."

Li Mo raised his face, and said sharply: "What are you, you just point fingers when you come to Yunning County.

If you really want to do scientific research, I have nothing to say, and I will definitely cooperate with you with all my strength.

However, from the moment you entered Yunning City to now, it has been a full three days. Have you ever asked me about hybrid rice.

I wrote such a big book on the theory of hybrid rice, has any of you read it?

Hybrid rice is a fantasy in this era. Have you carefully studied the feasibility of it, and may I ask, when did the rice start to be planted?When does the harvest start? "

Mr. Xiao was left speechless by the question. To be honest, he had read the manuscript written by Li Mo, but he couldn't understand it.

He doesn't even know what the rice looks like, so how could he understand it!
When did you plant and when did you harvest?How long will it take to plant, he doesn't know.

Li Mo continued: "When you come, you don't come with responsibility, but with the mentality of traveling.

May I ask which official goes down to the local area, not to talk about official affairs, but to ask the girls in the brothel if they are pretty!

Do you have any shame?Since none of you are qualified for this job, please go back to the capital as soon as possible. My temple in Yunning County is too small to hold you big Buddhas! "

Asked if the girl in the brothel was pretty, Li Mo heard it with her own ears. At that time, she really wanted to pull that person out and beat her up. No, she should be eunuched!

Master Xiao also lost his temper: "Master Li, I respect you as the future Princess Xuan, and I have a lot of respect for you. I didn't expect you to speak arrogantly and aggressively."
If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have been sent by the emperor to this remote place to study your so-called hybrid rice.

Do you think we are all as easy to deceive as the emperor?I'm still not willing to accompany you to take back your dirty tricks.snort! "

After speaking, he made a gesture to leave.

Under normal circumstances, Li Mo should lower her face, persuade her with kind words, and then apologize. Everyone will live in peace and stay here for 10 or [-] years.

There is no way to manage the agricultural affairs, or it can't be managed well, so she can't make achievements in politics, and they have more reason to arrange Li Mo's right and wrong!

The others were stunned, and looked at Mr. Xiao, seeing his livid face, no one dared to speak out!

Who is Li Mo, she is a person who plays cards unreasonably, the more unreasonable you make trouble, she will make your life difficult.

When the others saw that Lord Xiao was leaving, they followed suit one after another.

They have a reason to leave now. When they return to the capital to impeach Li Mo directly, this magistrate has no intention of cooperating at all!
The local officials did not cooperate, which made them unable to carry out actual operations. Now, the emperor will not blame them.

Or go back to the capital to live a luxurious life.

A group of people left in a mighty way, only three people stayed.

Liang Xu looked at the group of people coldly, wishing he could step up and beat them up.

Li Mo raised his eyebrows, could it be that these three people are a clean stream?
A man came out, saluted Li Mo first, and then slowly opened his mouth: "Master Li, I was sent by His Royal Highness Xuan Wang to assist Lord Li with all my strength, my name is Lu Jigui, this is Liu Dong, and this is Ma Qinghai. "

"Master Li." Liu Dong and Ma Qinghai hurried forward to salute!
Li Mo: "Oh, are you sent by Huangpuxuan?"

"Yes, before coming, the lord gave us a secret order, that is, we must face Master Li no matter what."

Since they are sent by Huangpuxuan, there is no problem.

...

On the way back.

Mr. Xiao was annoyed by Li Mo's rude behavior just now, and he couldn't get over it for a while.

It wasn't until he was about to enter the city that he pointed in Li Mo's direction with trembling hands and roared, "Look, look, what kind of attitude is this? How can she see me as a superior in her eyes? It's really unreasonable."

Luo Hongfa quickly comforted her: "My lord, don't be angry. The future will be long, and we will have a lot of opportunities to deal with her properly."

As Lord Xiao's adjutant, Luo Hongfa knew his master's thoughts best: "My lord, let's go back to Beijing immediately, we can..." He said a lot about how to impeach Li Mo!
These methods are really not on the table, they can only be used secretly, not in the open, it is impossible for King Xuan to find out, and besides, it is impossible to break the face with them for a woman.

For Li Mo's arrogance, everyone naturally hated Li Mo so much.

Master Xiao said angrily: ""You think I don't want to?I can no longer disobey court orders. "

Luo Hongfa: "Ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge!"

Li Mo didn't care at all whether these people were dead or alive, or were thinking about how to sue her in front of the emperor.

They are very busy now, these three people are indeed the ones personally selected by Huangpuxuan.

Whether it is knowledge, conduct, or attitude towards work, they are simply modern scientific researchers who only focus on scientific research.

They are from the out-and-out peasants, the children of poor families, and because they have no background and not much money, they are still just grass-roots personnel doing odd jobs in the household department until now.

Official strife is everywhere.You don't have enough ability, you can only be trampled underfoot, and you can only pretend to be a grandson.

Li Mo led the three of them into the small house.

When the door was opened, everyone was dumbfounded, staring at the scene in front of them dumbfounded.

Guess what they saw?
It's the end of January now, and the weather is still very cold. They actually saw the seedlings, the green seedlings.

"My lord, the seedlings are growing very well, and they can be transplanted in a few days." A yamen servant came over with admiration on his face.

Unexpectedly, according to the method of raising seedlings on the heated kang taught by Mr. Li, the rice sprouted quickly and grew very fast.Now, it is almost ready to be transplanted!

This Yafu was brought over from Songjiang County. He was older, but he was loyal and hardworking. He used to be a good farmer, so Li Mo specially transferred him here!
Li Mo has already made preparations in advance to cooperate with Mr. Xiao and the others in their research on hybrid rice this time. As long as they have a little patience and a sense of responsibility, Li Mo will tell them all the theoretical knowledge he knows without reservation, and will discuss it with them. Research!
It's a pity that these people's hearts are higher than the sky, and they are too good at enjoying themselves, so they can't bear the hardship of scientific research.

Lu Jigui looked at the seedling with excitement, then turned his head and looked at Li Mo with burning eyes: "Master Li, how did this seedling grow?"

Li Mo: "The method of raising mu in a fire pit."

Li Mo looked at the seedlings, which were almost as long as her palm, with a smile on her face. She really hoped that these three people would live up to their expectations and develop hybrid rice as soon as possible.

Li Mo: "My lords, there are still surprises here."

After speaking, he took the lead and walked out.

When everyone went outside, they saw several strange-looking sheds on the flat ground, and asked repeatedly, "Lord Li, what is this?"

Li Mo introduced patiently: "This is a greenhouse. During the day, this kind of bright paper can transmit light. The crops can enjoy the sunshine. At night, when the temperature difference between day and night is large, these fir trees should be covered to keep the crops warm. Crops can grow day and night, greatly shortening the growth cycle!"

Although everyone was a little confused when they heard it, they understood that it was a new object that could make crops grow faster, so they looked at it again and again with a rare mentality.

"Because there is a greenhouse, everyone should be careful when working and walk with a bent waist..." Li Mo got into the greenhouse and explained in detail while demonstrating.

...

There are three people, Lu Jigui, who are busy in the experimental field, so Li Mo doesn't need to worry about it at all. When they encounter something they don't understand, they will come to ask Li Mo.

Spring plowing has already started, and there are no idlers in the village.

Li Mo didn't go to the countryside today, but was fiddle with the pile of betrothal gifts.

Li Mo looked at the backyard where he could not walk at all, and couldn't help but roll his eyes, Huangpuxuan, are you evacuating the entire Prince Xuan's mansion?
Huangpuxuan, far away in the capital, couldn't help sneezing. Dongzhe quickly closed the window, gave Huangpuxuan a cloak, and muttered: "My lord, be careful of catching a cold."

But Huangpuxuan looked in the direction of Yunning County and muttered to himself: "Mo'er must be thinking about this king."

Dong Zhe shook his hand holding the cloak, okay, I was forced to eat a mouthful of dog food, I shouldn't have closed the window, and I shouldn't have given you the cloak.

Li Mo looked at the real thing while holding the list, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became: "Liang Xu, what does your prince mean by this?"

Liang Xu shivered in fright, it's over, Master Li is not satisfied with the dowry?When Hong Shangshu was reading the list that day, why didn't you say anything?You didn't say anything when you entered the warehouse, so what do you mean now?

Bite the bullet and asked: "Master Li, is there any problem with the betrothal gift?"

Li Mo is very disgusted: "Your lord is really, can't you just send real gold and silver directly? Why do you have to send so many messy things and have to sell them, wasting manpower and time. Knowing whether others dare to accept it, how much do you think this bracelet can sell for?"

Liang Xu really knelt this time: "Master Li, what are you talking about? Are you going to sell the bride price?"

Li Mo raised an eyebrow: "Is there any problem?"

Liang Xu: Do you think there is any problem?The problem is big, many of these are imperial gifts, who dares to sell them?Don't want to live anymore?It should be enshrined properly and left to future generations.
