Chapter 21: The Weak Boss

It was the end of April, and farmers in the countryside were busy planting seeds in their rice fields. A drizzle of rain fell in the sky on the rice paddies, and soon gathered into small puddles.

"It's raining, sir, I'm going to find you an umbrella." Looking at the drizzle overhead, the lord Bo hurriedly walked towards the carriage.

The main man is very careful, as long as the weather is not particularly good that day, he will prepare an umbrella to use at any time. I didn't expect to encounter a light drizzle when I first came to Jiuzhi Township, and I just used it.

In a moment, the master walked over with an oil-paper umbrella in his hand.

"Lord, what kind of grain do you have?" Han Mo asked the lord who walked to his side.

"If you go back to adulthood, of course, it's common rice, noodles, sweet potatoes and potatoes." The Lord Bo blurted out without even thinking about it.

Hearing this answer from the master, Han Mo was very satisfied.

You must know that the reason why there were few famines in the Qing Dynasty was due to the introduction of sweet potatoes and potatoes. The reason is that the yield per mu of sweet potatoes and potatoes is dozens of times that of traditional crops, which greatly solves the problem of population and food shortage in the Qing Dynasty. To a large extent, the population of the Qing Dynasty was able to grow so quickly, which was also inseparable from these two crops.

"Let's go, go to the village with the official to have a look."

"Yes, sir."

The two walked towards the village one after the other, and a farmer who planted a rice field instantly recognized the master.

"Yes, Lord Bo!" The man shouted directly.

When the other people in the rice field heard this, they also raised their heads and looked at the main book.

And the main Bo was embarrassed at this time.

Good guy, before Han Mo explained the matter, he told him thousands of times, in order not to let him reveal the identities of the two. He's good, as soon as he enters the village, he will be recognized.

The Lord Bo was so frightened that he lowered his umbrella a lot, hoping to escape. However, the farmer had already stepped out of the rice field and walked straight in the direction of the two of them.

Han Mo had a dark face at this time, glaring at the Lord Bo fiercely, with a strong killing intent in his eyes.

"My lord, you paid a high price for the grass people to grow the grain, and the small ones are planting." A thin middle-aged man walked over and looked at the two with a smile on his face.

"Okay, okay, the official knows, you go down quickly..."The lord made a bitter face, stretched out his hand and waved, signaling the other party to hurry away.

But the other party seemed to be unaware, and continued: "My lord, do you still want the cash food?" We're all getting ready. ”

"Yes, of course, you just have to prepare, don't talk so much nonsense!" At this time, the Lord Bo was already a little annoyed.

Finally, the thin man sent him away and returned to his place to continue planting rice.

"Lord, who is this man?" Han Mo didn't ask him about it, but asked about the identity of the person just now.

"Lord Hui, that person is the village chief of Jiuzhi Township." Lord Bo replied truthfully.

"Okay, you can go to the grain store in the future."

"Above board?"

The lord Bo couldn't believe his ears, if the above found out about the upright grain, he would definitely be asked for the reason, and if he didn't get things right, he would be exposed.

"Your Excellency, you're not kidding, are you?" The lord Bo thought that the county order was angry with him, and asked tentatively.

"Do you think I'm joking?" The corners of Han Mo's mouth showed a trace of curvature, which was unpredictable.

"My lord, if what the lower official does makes you dissatisfied, the lower official will immediately change it." The master Bo was so frightened that he didn't dare to look up at Han Mo, and his voice trembled a little.

"The official didn't joke with you, you just went to store grain in the open, and you don't have to worry about other things." Han Mo still insisted on what he had just said, but his tone did not have the slightest hint of mockery.

"My lord, if this is the case, the upper authorities will definitely notice it, so you should think about it carefully." Lord Bo reminded.

"Consider? What to consider? Do you think you can hide your superiors from your bravadoous actions in the past two days? To put it mildly, you don't need to check from your superiors, the village chief just now can sell it to you. Han Mo said angrily, obviously dissatisfied with the main Bo's work.

"Xiaguan... Xia Guan knew that he was wrong. The Lord swallowed his saliva and remedied: "Otherwise, let's change the village and store grain, right?" ”

"Confused!" Hearing Lord Bo say this, Han Mo, who was very calm just now, suddenly became angry at this time.

"Your Excellency..."

The Lord Bo was already too frightened to speak.

"You should stock food in every village!"

"Huh?!" Lord Bo was surprised at first, and then knelt on the ground, "My lord, the lower officials are confused, and I ask you for advice." ”

"What do you teach? Those plans just now are what the official asked you to do. Han Mo retracted his roar and said in a deep voice.

"My lord, don't take down the official for fun, the lower official knows that he is wrong." The Lord Bo touched the somewhat wet earth, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.

At this time, the farmers who were farming on the side, after seeing the master Bo kneeling down to Han Mo, understood that the person holding the umbrella must be a big man, even if he was not stupid. Otherwise, how could a dignified county government lord Bo and a nine-rank official kneel down to another person in such a public place?

"Hurry up, do you want the identity of this official to be exposed?"

Han Mo naturally noticed the strange gaze of the person next to him, and hurriedly urged.

"Yes, sir."

The Lord wiped the rain from his face and got up from the ground, but there was a lot of mud on his body.

"Now that you have messed up most of the plan, I need to redraw it when I go back." Immediately after, Han Mo glanced at Lord Bo coldly, "Today, you can go back by yourself, it can be regarded as a punishment for you." ”

"Thank you, my lord, I won't dare to do it again in the future."

"Next time, if this kind of thing is known by the imperial court, it will lose its head!"

Han Mo leaned close to the ear of the lord Bo and warned the lord viciously, "If you make another mistake in the future and cause the matter to be exposed, the official will use you as a scapegoat!" ”

"Huh?"

Lord's eyes widened in fright, and he covered his mouth with his hands.

Seeing that the rain in the sky was getting heavier and heavier, Han Mo didn't dare to stay here longer, and got into the carriage and galloped towards the county office.
