Chapter 91: Five Questions

The Chamber of Commerce opened, as a representative of the Yamen, Xiao Mo also attended the ceremony, for this time Li Yuan and their affairs, Xiao Mo was still satisfied after all, and it seemed that Li Yuan and Qiao Zheng had carefully scrutinized the three points they proposed.

For three days in a row, there was a long and narrow crowd in front of the Chamber of Commerce, waiting in line to release grain, and at the opening ceremony, Li Yuan also prepared some gifts.

Taking this opportunity, Xiao Mo also announced to the people of Shen County that the drought in Shen County had passed, and even if it didn't rain and there was food, it didn't matter!

It's like a great man in later generations shouting 'The Chinese people have stood up'! The people who came to watch the opening of the chamber of commerce cheered.

Looking at these simple people, Xiao Mo felt very satisfied, but it was not enough, the blueprint he created for Shen County had just begun!

Three days later, Xiao Mo took the squires to Changle Town together, first inspecting the blast furnace!

Yu Niang's matter, Xiao Mo also talked to Qiao Zheng in private, Xiao Mo used Meng Qiuxiang's illness as an excuse, Qiao Zheng is not easy to force each other, after all, Yu Niang's child, after marrying into the Xiao family, Xiao Hao died, if he marries Xiao Mo again this time, Meng Qiuxiang dies again, it is really a tragedy, although Qiao Zheng is usually strict, but after all, he is a parent, where will he push his children into the fire?

Returning to Changle Town again, Xiao Mo caused a sensation.

There is no way, these widows in Changle Town are already 'enthusiastic' about Xiao Mo, not to mention that Xiao Mo has helped his hometown so much this time?

Moreover, after Xiao Mo arrived in the county seat, some deeds have also been spread to the ears of the widows, and after countless versions of changes, Xiao Mo who is now circulating in Changle Town seems to be a Wenqu star in the sky, and Yun Xue is even more bizarre, she has actually become a princess!

Although it is said that Yun Xue was originally a princess, there are also rumors that this is also Xiao Mo's credit.

Xiao Mo was speechless, the ability to gossip in this era is so strong?

In fact, Xiao Mo underestimated the imagination of these widows, they were idle at home every day, and at this time Changle Town was not busy with farm work, of course, the gossip was very powerful, sometimes when he saw others talking like foam, he was not convinced, so he arranged a version to overthrow others, just like that, one after another, Xiao Mo became a Wenqu star!

Wenqu Xing is Wenqu Xing! Xiao Mo could only accept it calmly, but for those widows, he also kept an eye on it, and he didn't dare to provoke them.

Everyone walked for a while, and finally met Lu Lu under the leadership of Lin Chong.

Lu Lu looked very energetic, as the saying goes, people are in good spirits when they are happy, when he saw Xiao Mo coming, he wiped his sweat and said, "Ziheng, why are you here on such a hot day?" ”

Is it hot? It's still March, and the weather in Shen County is still a little cold, but Lu Lu has forgotten the current season because he has been in the sun for a long time and there is a blast furnace behind him!

Xiao Mo laughed, speaking of the degree of seriousness, in addition to the anchor Lu Lu in Shen County, there is only Lin Yiye, Lin Yiye is dead-eyed, and Lu Lu is because of his character, it is precisely because of this that Xiao Mo asked Li Ji to transfer Lu Lu here.

In fact, Xiao Mo also knows that no matter how serious Lu Lu is, it is also to make merits, Li Ji's term of office in Shen County is about to expire, and Xiao Mo is a supernumerary member of the imperial court, looking at the current Shen County, except for Lu Lu, there is indeed no suitable county to choose from, unless one is transferred from somewhere else.

However, if Lu Lu has merit, the possibility of transferring officials from other places is still relatively small, this is a later story, let's not talk about it for the time being!

"A total of thirty-three iron ores have been discovered, Ziheng, you are really a god!" As soon as Lu Lu and Xiao Mo sat in the house, they began to tell Xiao Mo about some of the things they had done during their time in Changle Town, as well as the situation of the iron mine in Changle Town.

Xiao Mo was not worried about the iron mine, he was worried about the windmill, so he asked: "Lord Lu, how is the progress of this windmill?" ”

Lu Lu said: "According to what Ziheng said, the carpenter's side has already done it, and it is hardwood, Guangnan hemlock, that guy, the hardness is really speechless......

Why is Lu Lu like a chatterbox? It's gone......

Looking at the gushing Lu Lu, Xiao Mo had no choice but to let him continue.

"It's just that the steel doesn't seem to be very good, the blacksmiths said, according to Ziheng's meaning, it is to put aside the hardness of the steel, but it is still a little difficult to achieve a long time without rust, so I don't dare to order the construction of the ......"

"In this way, everything is ready now, and all we have to do is the east wind?"

"So to speak......"

"Why don't you report it to the county?"

What Xiao Mo meant was that since they couldn't solve the problem of steel, why didn't they ask themselves.

Lu Lu's eyes lit up, and he was surprised: "Could it be that Ziheng also knows how to refine steel?" ”

Xiao Mo nodded and said, "Go back and let the blacksmiths try it with the Yuhua Stone!" ”

"Yuhua Stone?" Lu Lu nodded when he heard this, and then got up and went out of the house, looking resolute!

After inspecting the blast furnace, Xiao Mo came to his own house in Changle Town, where everything has not changed much, but many victims have been resettled in the house, and Changle Town is also building a house.

Of course, these houses were built for the victims, and most of them were made by the victims themselves!

Seeing Xiao Mo coming, the widows and the victims all gathered around.

"Adult ......"

"It's really Erlang......"

"Erlang is much more handsome again......"

"......" Xiao Mo was a little helpless, and Li Yuan and the others who accompanied Xiao Mo all snickered, but Qiao Zheng still kept a straight face and couldn't see any reaction.

"Don't be like this, if you have something to say one by one, you are talking like this, I can't hear it clearly......" Xiao Mo said to everyone.

Then, the scene began to ask questions to Xiao Mo from the villagers.

"Erlang, I heard that the Yunxue girl of Dr. Hu's family is a princess, is it really fake?"

"Huh...... Sister-in-law of the Chen family, right! Well, Yun Xue's background is indeed a princess, but it's not appropriate to ask a question like this now, right? This time, Xiao Mo is here to help you solve your livelihood, so be it! Everyone be cautious and ask any questions you have, but today, this official will only answer five of your questions! ”

Yes? Five? Everyone was depressed, they all glanced at Sister-in-law Chen, and said in their hearts, okay! Five questions, you've wasted one!

How did Sister-in-law Chen know in advance that she could only ask five questions? Now she regrets it very much, seeing the complaining eyes of the villagers, Sister-in-law Chen can't hold her face.

Fortunately, Xiao Mo added: "I won't count that one just now, now let's ask!" ”

"Adults, small ones come first! My lord, how will we, the victims of the disaster, live in Changle Town in the future? ”

"Don't worry about this problem, there is leftover land before, the official has already ordered the household to be sorted out, and it will be distributed to you when the time comes, of course, if you feel that the field is not enough to cultivate yourself, don't worry, everyone has also seen the situation in Changle Town, there is a shortage of labor, you can also come to help these sisters-in-law farm, if you are paid, you can do what you want!"

"My lord, when will there be water?"

"More than March, less than ...... months"

"I heard that there is only one season of rice here in Luzhou?"

"This is true, the climate of Luzhou, it is a little difficult to cultivate two seasons, but you don't have to worry, the official has ordered someone to search for cotton seeds, and everyone can plant this when the time comes!"

"Cotton? What kind of flower is this cotton, and can you eat it? ”

"You can't eat it, but you can sell it for silver!"

"What about us orphans and widows?"

"Don't worry, you can plant some mulberry trees, raise silkworms and pick mulberries, oh! There is also cotton, when the time comes, the official will let the Chamber of Commerce set up an embroidery village in each of the three towns, and the sisters-in-law can go to the embroidery village to help, or you can weave in your own home, in short, as long as you do it, the official guarantees that no one will starve to death! ”

After asking the five questions, Xiao Mo also expressed his attitude, since Xiao Mo had made a guarantee, the villagers had nothing to ask, Xiao Mo said goodbye to everyone, and then went to Tongshan Town with Li Yuan and others.
