Chapter 72

Spring plowing is in full swing. In ancient times, spring plowing was not so easy. It was better for those who had cattle at home, and it was much easier to turn over. For those without cattle, they all relied on two hands, or even pulled by shoulders, and human power replaced the strength of cattle.

Li Mo, the righteous master, was in the study at this time, writing and drawing with a pen.

What was drawn on the paper was the appearance of the school, including a track and field field, teaching buildings, dormitory buildings, and a library.

According to the current situation, I believe that the school will be built soon.

Sugarcane can be harvested at the end of the year. Sugar in this era is very expensive. Black-skinned sugarcane can be made into brown sugar. I believe that after a year, people in Songjiang County can basically solve their food problems by relying on brown sugar alone.

Education is the foundation of a century-old plan. Children are the future of the motherland and the people of Songjiang County. Education must come first after economic ability.

Master: "My lord, what are you drawing?"

Li Mo: "School."

Master: "School what?"

Li Mo: "The place where students go to school is the school."

In this way, the master will know what it is.

The master was very surprised: "Does the school need to be so big? Not many people go to school."

Li Mo: "The children in the entire Songjiang County go to this school, so you think they will grow up."

Master's eyes widened: "All the children?"

Li Mo: "Yes."

There was silence for a moment.

Master: "My lord, I think it's unrealistic for all the people to come here to study."

"Why?"

"If one person is studying alone, the whole family needs to support it. Few families can support it."

"If I say that all children study for free, do you think they will not come to school?"

"What, no money? We don't have so much money for them to go to school."

My lord, what are you fussing about? Songjiang County itself has no money, and still wants to do this and that. With so many children, I don’t know how much it will cost. Have you calculated it?

Before it was over, Li Mo threw another bomb: "Master, you said that you should be able to take the imperial examination in nine years."

Even if you don't take the imperial examination, after nine years, you will still be fifteen or sixteen years old, and you can come out to work.

The master almost threw the pen out of his hand: "What? Nine years!"

Nine years are free, isn't this fee an astronomical figure.

The master pinched his own people again, I didn't hear this sentence, I was about to faint.

In fact, if conditions permit, each village should set up a school, so that children don't have to work so hard to study in the county town, and it is convenient and safe to go to school in the village.

However, the financial strength within five years should not be achieved, and studying is the most expensive.

The goal now is to build the school as soon as possible, and at the end of the year at the latest, a public school belonging to the people of Songjiang County must be built. This is the goal set by Li Mo this year.

On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, it was the consecration ceremony of Putuo Temple on the outskirts of Fucheng. Many people worked tirelessly to go, but Li Mo didn't understand anyway.

Zhou planned to go to worship Buddha with Li'er, Ye Huamei's mother, daughter, Da Ya, sister and brother, Zhang Lanlan and Da Ya didn't want to go, they followed Yang Danni to work in the garment factory every day, but they were dragged away by Zhou Shi.

Mrs. Zhou asked Li Mo if she was going, but Li Mo was not interested, so she sent Zhou Xing'er, Liu Fang and a male yamen servant, Xiao Zhu, to see them off.

There is an eminent monk in the temple who is said to be very spiritual, so many people go to worship.

Basically all temples focus on seeking marriage or children, and Putuo Temple is no exception.

Li Mo secretly asked Zhou: "Mother, what are you asking for me, marriage?"

Mrs. Zhou: "You will be nineteen this year. Mother will definitely seek a good marriage for you."

Li Mo joked: "With my current status? Should I find a woman or a man?"

Without hesitation, Zhou said, "It must be a man!"

Li Mo raised her eyebrows: "Are you sure? It doesn't seem very good for two men to get married."

Zhou made a gesture to hit her: "You're the one who is talkative, definitely not now."

Li Mo: "Then what are you in a hurry for?"

Zhou: "Seek first and prepare for the future."

Li Mo doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas, even if he spreads out such weird things like time travel, he still doesn't believe in it.

There really are gods and Buddhas, so what are ordinary people busy with? Just recite scriptures and worship gods and Buddhas every day.

If people want to live a good life, it is useless to worship gods and recite the Buddha. With hard work and opportunities, good days will not be far away. These so-called eminent monks who have attained the Tao will not be able to enjoy the fireworks in the world. If they are all like the legend God, what kind of Dharma is there to teach, you can go to the Western Paradise to become a Buddha yourself.

As a soldier, I believe that power comes from the barrel of a gun, what kind of ghosts and gods, what the hell is that.

When you meet a god, you kill a god, when you meet a Buddha, you kill a Buddha.

Zhou Xing'er and Liu Fang said they would definitely complete the task.

However, Zhou's trip to worship God is not destined to be smooth sailing.

It was the first time for Zhang Lanlan and sisters to travel far away, and everything felt very strange.

After a few days of traveling from Xiahe Village to Songjiang County, Da Ya sister and brother expressed that they are not interested in this journey, and they are looking forward to the lively consecration ceremony.

Da Ya doesn't expect what will happen to her in the future, she just hopes that Xiaowen will grow up healthy and happy, grow up quickly, and repay the county magistrate for saving his life.

Along the way, I met many people rushing to the temple. It is said that those who can grab the first incense will make their wishes come true.As a result, many people set off before dawn.

"Sixth, hurry up! If you don't hurry up, it will be too late, we want to grab the first incense! Even if we can't get the first incense, we will be fine within a hundred sticks of incense!"

"Brother, we are so far away from the temple, no matter how fast we are, we might as well walk slowly."

"You're the one who talks too much nonsense."

There are also those who want a child, a young couple on the road, the wife has been in the house for almost a year, but there is still no news from her stomach, the mother-in-law seemed anxious, and took the daughter-in-law to the county to see the doctor several times.I heard that praying for a child at the consecration ceremony of Putuo Temple will be very effective, so I drove the young couple to worship Buddha and pray for a child.

If Li Mo were here, he would definitely say that he should take your son to see him too. It’s not all a woman’s fault that she doesn’t have children. The daughter-in-law is as strong as a cow, and it doesn’t look like she can’t give birth. out of the child.

But this is ancient times, and everyone thinks it's a woman's fault not to have children.

After nearly two hours of fast riding, we finally arrived at Putuo Temple.

There is an endless stream of devout men and women who come to worship Buddha, and there are countless horse-drawn carriages, sedan chairs, ox carts, and donkeys outside the temple. Hawkers who see business opportunities spontaneously start business outside the temple.

On both sides of the road, there are food, gadgets, and even pearl flower jewelry. It is even more lively than the night market in Songjiang County.

The sister and brother finally became interested: "Wow, there are so many people."

"Look, they all hold incense."

"There are also food for sale, so delicious."

There are too many people, there is no place to put the carriage, so it can only be placed at the foot of the mountain, and one person must be left here to take care of it.

Xiao Zhu: "Madam, you go up, I will stay here and watch the carriage."

Xiao Zhu felt that it didn't matter whether he worshiped or not. It was better to believe in the Lord than to believe in Buddhism. Anyway, after following the Lord, life became better and better.

Whether you are a good man or a believer, as soon as you enter the temple, you will see a pool of blooming lotus flowers. The old monk is sitting on the futon next to the lotus, speaking vague Buddhist verses.

Immediately, I feel taller, and I guess most people will be fooled and unable to extricate themselves, and then, whether it is offering incense or giving, it will be much more enjoyable to pick up money.

The so-called consecration ceremony, people don't know what kind of light is consecrated, anyway, just follow along.

These monks are smart, the six senses are clean and cut off from the world of mortals, they just talk about it, pack it in a gimmick, and they are more than anyone else. No wonder many good men and women who are fooling around, ran to Putuo Temple like crazy, kowtowed, and gave money, and they were still willing Yes, as if taking advantage of it.

The Zhou family hadn't participated in a temple fair for a long time, and felt very uncomfortable seeing the crowds.

Seeing that Zhou's expression was not right, Li'er hurriedly asked: "Madam, why don't we go to the backyard to rest for a while, and come out to add incense when there are fewer people."

The temple has a courtyard, which is a resting place for people who are tired from shopping.

A few people are really boring, especially Xiaowen, how can a boy sit still.

Mrs. Zhou: "Don't worry about me, just go and play by yourself."

Leaving Mrs. Zhou alone here, of course, several people cannot agree

Ye Huamei: "Xing'er, you go, I'm here to accompany Madam."

Liu Fang: "I'm here, you go."

When the children heard that there was nothing wrong here anyway, and this was the backyard of the temple, what could happen, so they ran to the front to offer incense happily.

Da Ya saw the people kneeling from the outside, she didn't understand, people are still outside the hall, is it useful to kneel?Are these people so rich?Otherwise why donate so much?
Ask Zhou Xing'er: "Sister Xing'er, why do they kneel outside and donate so much money?"

Zhou Xing'er laughed: "Other people come to Putuo Temple willingly. There are also many faithful men and women who come from thousands of miles away. As soon as they enter the temple gate, they kneel down and kowtow. They kowtow all the way to the Buddha, because they have Buddha in their hearts. Do you have a Buddha in your heart?"

Da Ya: "Yes, yes, I want to bow down too."

Xiaowen: "And me."

In the hall, many good men and women kneel down to worship the ground. Since the Buddha's heart has something to ask for, what all living beings want is a lifetime of well-being, full of children and grandchildren, and family happiness.

The garment factory is now working overtime every day. The business of spring clothes is so good that Boss Fang has already started to rush the goods.

Li Mo has designed many styles, which are very popular with everyone.

All the staff in the workshop wanted to wear it on their own body, because the clothes are really beautiful, and they still sewed them stitch by stitch.

Li Mo didn't let them work overtime. These big girls and daughter-in-laws were still young, so they thought it didn't matter if they worked overtime.

An embroiderer not only needs skills, but also eyes. It doesn't matter a day or two, but if things go on like this, her eyes will be blind.

So, Yang Danni came up with a good idea, instead of going to work for dinner in the afternoon, she worked overtime for an hour and postponed dinner.

Li Mo is now the most unpopular in the garment factory.

No, she started to find fault again: "Sister Danni, don't be so anxious about these orders, let everyone take a break and stop working overtime."

Yang Danni disagreed: "My lord, these are urgent orders, Boss Fang has already urged the goods."

After spring, whoever sells these spring clothes, hurry up and work overtime.

And all the store managers of the Songjiang County clothing store are also rushing the goods, can they not work overtime?

Li Mo was very helpless: "Sister Danni, will this be bad?"

Danni Yang: "My lord, this is none of my business, it's everyone's opinion."

Li Mo knew that everyone came out to work for a better life in the future, think about it or forget it, let them work hard to make money.

Yang Danni snickered, this method is better, adults can't do anything to stop it.

After visiting the garment factory, Li Mo was touched by everyone's enthusiasm for work. It is really good to have a stable job in this ancient times, and I cherish it all.

Everyone in the clothing factory can't be idle at night, and they have to learn big characters. It's not easy to teach these hundreds of people. Li Mo requires that the workshop be the unit, and the team leader must take the lead and be responsible for his team members.

If the group members cannot learn it, the group leader must be in charge of the church.

The team leader is not self-motivated, so he has nothing to say, so he needs to be replaced and let someone who is capable take over.

For this reason, everyone is studying hard, nothing but themselves, they don't know when they will be eliminated, and they don't know when they will be successful.

^ _ ^
Li Mo left under the disdainful gazes of everyone in the garment factory, wow, that's really annoying, be careful, my lord, I won't design new styles anymore.

Li Mo went to inspect the cosmetics factory again, and now the workshop staff can operate independently, so there is no need for Li Mo to stay here.

The head of the workshop is the newly recruited yamen servant Wang Xiaoniu. He is as strong as a calf as his name suggests. He is from the county.

Li Mo felt that he had a bit of brains and a bit of cultural background. After a period of investigation, he felt that he was a good person, so he was appointed as the general manager.

Wang Xiaoniu: "My lord, what do you think of these foundations?"

Li Mo took out the foundation, first smelled the smell, then looked at the color, it was delicate and smooth, took out a little, wiped it on the back of his hand, wiped it slowly, and nodded: "Well, yes, remember, don't rush to do any step, the quality It must be guaranteed, and the safety of everyone's life must be put first."

Wang Xiaoniu promised: "Don't worry, my lord, I always put the safety of personnel first at any time."

Wang Xiaoniu took Li Mo to the warehouse: "My lord, look here are all the stocks."

Li Mo: "Bring me the inventory details."

The warehouse keeper hurriedly handed the report to Li Mo: "My lord, please read it over."

Li Mo opened the report, which contained very detailed records.

This kind of report was copied by Li Mo based on the modern purchase, sales and inventory report, which is very clear at a glance.

The warehouse keeper stood aside anxiously, not knowing whether the report he made met the requirements of the county magistrate.

Li Mo nodded in satisfaction: "Well, yes, keep working hard."

The warehouse keeper breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't dare to be careless. He had to check the inventory every day and check the accounts and cards.

Li Mo said to Wang Xiaoniu: "All products must be produced together. After one month, all stores will open at the same time, just like clothing stores."

Wang Xiaoniu: "Yes."

After normal operation, there is no need for matching, but production according to market demand.

Because some people need foundation but not blush, and some people need lipstick but not eyebrow pencil.

Just when Li Mo and Wang Xiaoniu were talking about their future development prospects, Zhou Xing'er ran over in a panic, "My lord, it's not good, something happened to Madam."

Li Mo's face changed greatly: "What's wrong with my mother?"
