Chapter 71 The plan of the year lies in spring
This is Li Mo's first Spring Festival in this era. There is no city traffic, no flashing neon lights, no air pollution, no encouragement from comrades-in-arms, no greetings from parents, no modernization of the countryside, and no Modern prosperity.

Only the simple folk customs, the poor county government, only the original ecological environment, and the group of people around me.

It was past midnight, and the servants who were not on duty were already drunk, and those who were not drunk were already looking for a place to sleep.

Li Mo sat alone on the roof, holding a jug of wine in his hand, blowing cold wind while drinking.

But it seems that I don’t feel the cold. I miss my relatives during the festive season, and I always think that I won’t think about anything in modern times. However, as long as I am free, those pictures from the past always appear in my mind inadvertently, lingering go.

How likely is it to go back, Li Mo doesn't know, maybe he can only be stuck here for the rest of his life, or maybe one day God suddenly enlightens him and makes him go back inexplicably.

Looking at the houses on both sides of the street emitting vigil lights, I feel a sense of tranquility in my heart.

Li Mo took another sip of wine and looked up at the sky, maybe this is why God arranged for her to come to the Great Jin Dynasty.

The more you drink, the more drunk you should be, but the more Li Mo drinks, the more sober she becomes. There are already too many things in this world that she can't let go of.

Mrs. Zhou gave her all her mother's love. If she leaves, I don't know what else can support Mrs. Zhou's courage to live.

Yamen servants, most of them just joined the job, if she leaves, will they be disbanded?Where do we go from here?
Clothing factories, cosmetics factories, trading companies, logistics companies, sweet potato workshops, if she leaves, will they close down?
Is the construction of the reservoir delayed?

And the people of Songjiang County, if she left, would they be back to the original point?Can the tea garden survive?Can someone know how to grow sugar cane?

Perhaps the prosperity and grandeur left behind for a lifetime is the trace of her coming to this world.

The more I thought about it, the more I drank the more I became sober, until a bright light from the east came through the clouds, and I didn't feel a trace of drowsiness.

Mrs. Zhou looked for her anxiously. When she saw the person on the roof, the corners of her mouth twitched. What kind of hobby is this? Climb the roof if you have something to do. Wouldn't it be nice to sleep in the room?
Zhou's heart ached again: "Mo'er, come down quickly, after blowing the cold wind all night, you are not afraid of catching cold."

Li Mo slowly raised her beautiful eyebrows, and smiled cutely with her pink lips, revealing two rows of white teeth.

Acting coquettishly to Mrs. Zhou: "Mom, you haven't given me a red envelope yet."

Zhou: "You are indispensable."

Only in front of Zhou, Li Mo will reveal the child's heart.

Zhou said helplessly: "If you don't come down again, you will suffer from the wind and cold."

"Ma'am, and ours."

All the yamen servants have assembled, Li Mo promised to give them red envelopes yesterday, everyone remembers, no, they are all waiting.

Li Mo: "There's no rush, everyone has a share."

One hundred Wen per person, not too much and not too little, everyone is very contented, but in previous years there was no cent.

Crazy Chen is the first meaningful and sober year after his relatives passed away. Since he came to Songjiang County, he has never drank alcohol.

Putting all my energy on the tea garden every day is to numb myself and stop thinking about the past.

Today, he picked up the jug again, for the one-year agreement between himself and Mr. Li, and for Hui'er.

Looking at the bright fireworks in the night sky, Mad Chen thought to himself, Huier, I will come to you and my son in a year, you must wait for me.

^ _ ^
Boss Fang didn't come over to pay New Year's greetings. He sent his confidant to bring the New Year gift, and asked his confidant to convey his intentions. If there are good development opportunities in the future, you must remember to look for him.

The corners of Li Mo's mouth rose slightly, didn't he regret it years ago, why did he change his mind now?

Does it mean that attracting investment has successfully taken the first step?
People from Songjiang County who have family members who work in garment factories are having a good New Year this year. At least they have enough money to buy New Year’s goods, because Li Mo never defaults on the wages of employees, and does not deduct wages at will.

The prefect's mansion was overcrowded, and there was a lot of traffic outside the courtyard. All the people who came to pay New Year's greetings were county magistrates from various counties or officials at all levels in the prefecture.

"Master Taishou, happy new year."

"Liao Tongzhi, happy new year."

"Haha, Master Zhou, happy new year."

After some false New Year's greetings, the gifts began to appear in turn. The smile on Liu Taishou's face never stopped, and the butler received the gifts softly.

This is a normal New Year's greeting gift, which is different from the usual shady ones. This one can be accepted openly, and no one will complain.

"Why didn't you see the magistrate of Songjiang County?"

"If you don't tell me, I don't even remember that there is such a person."

"By the way, I haven't met the county magistrate of Songjiang County yet."

"Those who celebrate Chinese New Year don't come over to walk around with everyone."

"I haven't met the magistrate of Songjiang County, have you?"

"I haven't seen it either."

"It is said that she is very young, less than 20 years old this year."

"No matter how young and promising you are, what's the use? You don't even know the most basic manners."

"Why do you say he is young and promising?"

"Isn't it? She's the one who opened the clothing store, and that carriage bus."

"What is a clothing store? How much money can a so-called carriage bus make?"

"It is said that he is very arrogant."

The county magistrate of Wenshan County was silent for a long time before speaking: "I think it's better not to provoke her."

The county magistrate of Wenshan County really didn't want to provoke Songjiang County in private. Whether it was their carriage bus or clothing store, he had already told his subordinates to stay away when they saw them.

"Are you afraid?"

"It's not fear, but caution."

"Speaking of which, you are just afraid that he is a brat."

A good New Year's greetings turned into a meeting to denounce Li Mo.

Tang Tongzhi touched the severed finger, and the scene in his mind reappeared in front of his eyes again. The injury on his body healed, and the pain of the severed finger was like a thorn stuck in his heart. It hurt so much, but he didn't dare to pull it out. Falling asleep, that kind of fear reminds me all the time that the county magistrate of Songjiang County is a really cruel person.

The one who didn't dare to say anything was Zhou Chengzhou, the chief bookkeeper. Everyone felt very puzzled. Usually, these two people made the most comments. Why did they keep silent today?Is there something inside that they don't know about?

Li Mo doesn't know anything about the prefect's mansion, even if he knows, it doesn't matter, I like the way you guys don't like me and can't kill me the most.

Songjiang County started to get busy on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

Taking advantage of the rainy season has not yet arrived, the final finishing work of the reservoir must be carried out as soon as possible.

Many people have complaints. They are going to come here to do hard work before the end of the year, but they dare not speak out openly. Didn’t you see those patrolling yamen servants? Although they are not vicious, why are they always feeling nervous? Dare to provoke it!

Those recalcitrants who opposed the construction of the reservoir at that time seemed to see the scenes when they were caught, so they should work obediently.

Taking advantage of the fact that the rent of the shop is a little cheaper after the new year, Li Mo rented another shop in Fucheng, not renting a room, but renting half a street.

The store is so big that you can't imagine it, but the name is still very straightforward: Songjiang County Supermarket.

People in Fucheng knew at a glance that it was the same owner as the clothing store.

The prefect didn't want to pay attention to Songjiang County's every move, but people around him kept telling him: Songjiang County has opened another shop in Fucheng, which is next to the clothing store, and there are many kinds of things in it.

Liu Taishou expressed his annoyance, could he not report everything in Songjiang County to the official, the official is not interested in anything in Songjiang County, especially that Li Mo, it was good to be out of sight, but now even Ears are not immune to misfortune.

Supermarkets sell everything, all kinds of things, only what you can't think of, and there is nothing you can't buy.

As big as a buffalo on arable land, as small as a needlework.

Have you seen a shop that sells cattle?

People in Fucheng expressed their surprise. Could it be that this is a newly opened market?
But it didn't look like it. People in the market rented a stall to sell their own things.

The people here are called waiters, not bosses, and the decoration cannot be said to be very luxurious, but it is refreshing.

There are so many things in it, and the service attitude is very good. When you are in it, you feel like a boss, because when everyone comes in, these little girls and boys will play enthusiastically: Hello boss, welcome.

Look, I'm also the boss, so people who have nothing to do like to go in and shop. It doesn't cost money to go in and shop, and no one will drive you out.

Master: "My lord, this supermarket sells too many things."

In fact, it is not a problem of too many, but a problem of too much complexity.

The master felt that apart from not selling people, there was nothing else that could not be sold.

Li Mo: "Miscellaneous? Think about it, as long as they visit our supermarket, they can buy everything and don't have to go to other places. Isn't that great? It saves time, effort and worry."

The master muttered to himself: "It's better to sell people inside."

Li Mo nodded: "Your suggestion is very good. We should set up a talent market to sell people."

Master was taken aback, are your ears so long?You can hear it so quietly.

Master: "Do you really want to sell someone?"

Li Mo: "Just kidding!"

Master touched the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead: "It's okay, it's okay."

In fact, it is not impossible. It is very simple to open a talent market, but the difficulty is how to find employers.Moreover, it is very easy to recruit people now, after all, there are many people who have nothing to do.

But those who bought and sold slaves, Li Mo expressed no interest.

This is really a supermarket. Li Mo sells all the purchased agricultural products or handmade products that have no market in Songjiang County. Of course, many things are purchased from other places. At this time, Songjiang County is No. [-]. Logistics companies have played a very important role.

They go to many places, know where there are special products or what is produced, and directly pull them to the supermarkets in Fucheng for sale.

People in Songjiang County all know the existence of the first logistics company, so this is called wholesale eggs, that is called wholesale paper, and the other is called wholesale candles and so on.

Slowly, the logistics company shuttled through dozens of surrounding towns centered on Songjiang County. The logistics company gradually gained a reputation, and it was not limited to the transportation of goods from Boss Fang's stores.

In order to open this supermarket, Li Mo recruited another group of people.

Master thinks that the county magistrate is thinking about how to spend the money every day, otherwise why do you always think of these messy ways, as a county magistrate, you should collect taxes properly, and always want to do business?

Master, have you forgotten, your son is also in the county government office. If Li Mo hadn't been doing business, your son would still be guarding your small grocery store at home.

Li Mo doesn't need to worry about the tea garden, there is a madman, and now he is worried about the planting of sugarcane.

There are a lot of sugarcane in Yejia Village. After being ordered not to feed cattle by Li Mo last time, Village Chief Ye has sent people to protect them. These sugarcane will be the source of seeds for ten natural villages in Songjiang County.

Of course it can't be free, the cost of these sugarcane seeds is still paid in advance by the county government, and all the proceeds go to Yejia Village.

Li Mo forced all the villages to plant sugar cane, because sugar cane planting is very simple, only a little more time and energy will be spent on planting and harvesting, and the rest of the time is fertilization and watering.

Of course, if you want sugarcane to grow very well, it still takes a lot of manpower and material resources.

There are many people who oppose it, but do they dare to speak out?

Of course not, the county magistrate will go to your house to drink tea until you doubt life.

Village head Ye took Li Mo and all the village heads of Songjiang County to the sugarcane field.

These sugarcanes are grown in a large area of ​​densely packed wasteland with abundant water sources.Because there is no fertilizer, the knots are very dense, thin and short, and there are many insects.

All the village chiefs looked at each other: Can this thing be planted?Can you make money?
The best time to plant sugarcane is February, and it is only mid-January now, and the weather is too cold for planting.

Li Mo said to all the village chiefs: "Have you prepared the sugarcane fields that you were asked to prepare earlier?"

All the village chiefs: "It's all ready."

Even if you are not ready, you still have to say you are ready, otherwise there will be no good fruit to eat.

Li Mo: I think I'm very approachable, why don't I have any good fruit to eat.

Li Mo: "Is it a paddy field?"

"Yes."

"Now, my lord, I will teach you how to grow sugar cane."

The planting of sugarcane is very simple. Prepare an unpeeled sugarcane and cut it into several small sections with a knife to ensure that each section has 1-3 nodes.

Then prepare the soil, place the sugarcane buds around or facing up, and bury and compact them with soil.

After the sugarcane is planted, water it thoroughly, put it in a place with diffused light and ventilation, and keep the soil moist. Therefore, paddy fields with abundant water sources must be selected instead of dry land.

When the seedlings sent out by sugarcane grow to a height of 20 cm, ensure that each sugarcane segment has 1-2 strong seedlings, and the remaining weak ones will be broken off.

The best seed is the part of the tail, but there are not so many now, so as long as there are nodes from the beginning to the end, they must be kept as seeds.

Li Mo personally demonstrated how to grow sugarcane, and in the future, he will go to the village to give guidance according to the various growth stages of sugarcane.

After the village head goes back, the whole people will be called together to teach them how to plant. Now they have to watch carefully and learn humbly.

Poor old village chiefs, not every village chief has the opportunity to read books. In order to keep up with Li Mo, he not only has to learn characters, but is also asked by the county magistrate from time to time to ask about the village. .

For example, are there any domestic violence wives and children in the village, are there any abusers, are there any robbers, are there any people who are so difficult that they can't even drink a bowl of porridge? Of course, if that person is very lazy, then there is no need to report.

In order to understand the situation in the village in more detail, the village chiefs often go to the village when they have nothing to do, which frightens those who have done bad things. Could it be that the bad things they did were discovered by the village chief?

Li Mo checked the sugarcane fields in Yejia Village and found that all the ridges were about the same size, which was very standard. He had never planted sugarcane, and he made all the ridges exactly the same.

Looking at Village Chief Ye suspiciously: "Yezi Village, have you measured with a ruler?"

Village Chief Ye: "Yes, I'm afraid they will mess around."

Everyone:. . .
