Chapter 12 Songjiang County's First Order

On the way, Master was so happy that he couldn't figure it out, he kept pinching Song Min, Song Min rolled his eyes: "I said Master, how long are you going to pinch?"

Master: "Hey, I'm wondering if I'm dreaming, I'll be fine soon, I'll be fine soon."

Song Min: "Then why don't you pinch yourself?"

The master asked Li Mo: "My lord, when did you make this sweet potato flour, why didn't I know?"

Li Mo: "You don't live in the county office, of course you don't know what we are doing."

Master looked at Song Min: "Do you know?"

Song Min spread his hands, expressing that he didn't know either.

The master was worried again: "My lord, the first batch of goods will be delivered in half a month, can we make it in time?"

Now there are no workshops, how to make sweet potato flour?

Li Mo was not worried at all, and teased: "The boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge. I was always worried that there would be no orders. Now that there are orders, I am afraid that I will not be able to make them. Master, you just worry about your life."

Master: "Then where should I set up this interview? Also, where is there so much money?"

In the beginning, I just kept investing money, and there was no income at all. I needed money to buy sweet potatoes, hire people, and build a house.

Li Mo: "Master, how much money do we have in the account?"

"Not much, just over 500 taels."

The cookbook money was not confiscated, it was barbecue and ice money.

Li Mo: "Take it all out. 200 taels are used to buy horses and carriages, and 300 taels are put into the workshop. If it is not enough, I have 200 taels."

Master and Song Min were very surprised. It was the first time they saw such a good county magistrate who was sincerely for the people. He didn't keep any money. Before, he even took out his own money to pay wages. In comparison, he was really ashamed .

Song Min followed three county magistrates, and Li Mo was the magistrate he wanted to follow wholeheartedly.

They still don't know that the original owner used the old mother's dowry to pay the wages.

After that, the three of them went to the vegetable market and waited until they were exhausted.

After lunch, I went back home, still walking back, in order to find hidden dangers on both sides of the road.

There are villages along the way, although they are sparse, but at least there are people, there are no large forests or the like.

This trip to the provincial capital has yielded a lot. For example, there are no lotus roots, sour radishes, and rice dumplings here.

Maybe the zongzi is only available because of the Dragon Boat Festival.

It's a pity that I don't have any connections, hey, forget it, I can only take one step at a time.

Li Mo does not intend to use his identity as the county magistrate to contact Shangfeng. The officialdom in this era is very dark. No matter whether the matter can be done or not, we will first pull out your skin. Let them get a piece of the action.

Li Mo is now the heaven of the common people in Songjiang County. If she doesn't think about the common people, her life will go back to the old days when exorbitant taxes lead to heavy debts and selling her sons and daughters.

It took the three of them another half a day to return to the county seat. At this time, the barbecue stalls were about to open.

Seeing that her daughter finally came back, Mrs. Zhou finally let go of her hanging heart.

Li Mo let go of her exhaustion and gave Zhou a big hug: "Mother, I'm back."

Mrs. Zhou said softly: "It's good to be back, hurry up and wash up, are you hungry?"

Li Mo rubbed his flat stomach, he was really hungry after walking all afternoon.

At the dinner table, Li Mo reported to Zhou Shi what he had seen and heard in the past two days.

He also told the next arrangement.

Zhou knows that her daughter has always been very strong, but she did not expect to be so courageous.

Knowing that Songjiang County has always been poor and has not been able to find a breakthrough point, my daughter has been worrying about people's livelihood since she took office.

Her daughter is the pride of her life.

But when you think about it, you will be 19 years old, and girls from normal families are already the mothers of several children.

Alas, children and grandchildren have their own blessings.

Li Mo: "Mother, why are you sighing?"

Mrs. Zhou: "I was thinking that Mo'er in our family is really capable."

Li Mo said arrogantly: "Of course, I don't even look at whose daughter I am."

Both Zhou Shi and Li'er were amused.

The next morning, all the yamen servants were sent out, and all the village chiefs were notified to come over for a meeting in the afternoon.

Li Mo and the master were drawing up plans in the study, Li Mo was in charge of speaking, and the master was in charge of writing.

The master looked at the thick plan and lamented that he had lived for nothing for decades, and he was not as good as an 18-year-old boy.

I don't know whether the county magistrate's intelligence is inherited or born smart, anyway, the county magistrate has been his idol since then.

In the afternoon, all the village chiefs arrived. This was Li Mo's first meeting after taking office. All the village chiefs were frightened. Imposing exorbitant taxes.

Li Mo didn't beat around the bush either, but told the truth about building a sweet potato flour workshop.

The workshop is located in the vacant yard of the county government office, and will be re-enclosed with a wall. Those who have sweet potatoes at home can sell them for two cents a catty starting tomorrow.

The workshop is currently recruiting [-] workers, and each village selects three strong people to work, and the wages are one tael a month.

In fact, if the village head is asked to choose three people, they will definitely choose their own people, but it doesn't matter, as long as people are honest, hardworking and willing to work.

Everyone has to sign a non-disclosure agreement. The fear is that people's hearts will be unpredictable. Before Songjiang County has made money, these technologies cannot be leaked.

As soon as this remark came out, all the village chiefs boiled.

Village Chief Wang: "My lord, are sweet potatoes really worth two cents a catty?"
