Chapter 421: The boom in growing peppers
County Magistrate He also praised Chen Lizheng, saying that it was because of his good teaching that talents like Su Xiaoxiao came out of Baihua Village under his jurisdiction.
However, Chen Lizheng knew very well that he knew that Magistrate He was flattering him. But if Su Xiaoxiao can't finish all the pepper planting sites this time and satisfy County Magistrate Chen, then there should be two opinions.
Magistrate He said to Chen Lizheng again: "If the villagers of Xinghua Village do not agree with this matter and come out to cause destruction, what will you do?"
When Chen Lizheng saw that Magistrate He was inspecting his work, he immediately stepped forward without hesitation and bowed deeply, then replied: "If you report back to the county magistrate, I will enforce the law impartially and punish you severely!" < br>
Magistrate He was very happy when he heard this and expressed satisfaction with Chen Lizheng's answer. He said: "In that case, I will wait for your good news!"
Su Xiaoxiao and Chen Lizheng said goodbye to County Magistrate He together. After they came out of the county government office, Li Zheng kept wiping sweat with his sleeves. This was the first time he had such close contact with County Magistrate He of the county government. He had heard earlier that Magistrate He was not easy to deal with. He and the village officials under his jurisdiction and other officials, Never gave them a smile. This person is moody and not easy to mess with at all. You can't say what you said clearly, and you offended people. This is quite embarrassing.
Chen Lizheng did not expect today that after he was called, he would be warmly received by Magistrate He, and nothing happened. This was quite surprising.
But he can also understand that he probably did this because of Su Xiaoxiao's light.
But speaking of it, at this time, Chen Lizheng also felt that at this time, he should be more eager to handle the matter assigned by County Magistrate He. If he could not do it, then he might also see Magistrate He. The mean side.
In order to keep his official position, Chen Lizheng must do his best in this matter.
Chen Lizheng took the documents sent from the capital back and showed them to the villagers. And a temporary meeting was held at the head of the village, requiring each household to send at least one person.
He read the document to everyone, and then looked at the Su family aside. Mrs. Wang came in person this time, and brought her daughter Su Xiuer with her.
Is there anything else to say this time? He looked at the old lady Wang in front of him, and then asked them: "Look, do you want me to say anything else? The capital has already issued an approval document. No matter what else is said about this matter, as long as it is within the capital Do you still dare to violate the approval document? ”
Who dares to complain here now? In order to show their support for the approval issued by the capital, some families even took the initiative to express their willingness to use their own fields as experimental fields. Some people even joked: "Li Zheng, our land is full of crops now, otherwise, we would definitely grow peppers."
Some people even shouted: "How about we just pull out the beans planted in the ground and we all respond to the capital's call to plant peppers?"
Li Zheng hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Don't make noises here, there is no need to do this for the sake of this. For now, let's use the field of Tang Xiaoman's family as a test field. After we can all achieve certain results, we can Just learn how to grow peppers with Su Xiaoxiao and the others.”
Someone suggested that Li Zheng said: "I think if the wasteland behind our village doesn't work, we can develop it and plant peppers there."
It is true that there is still a piece of wasteland behind the village that has not been developed. After Li Zheng asked Su Xiaoxiao her opinion, Su Xiaoxiao said that she agreed. This was all for her sake. Does she know the reason?
If the wasteland here is developed and used to grow peppers, there will definitely be a lot of harvest.
Chen Lizheng was also very enthusiastic. He did what he said and immediately entrusted Tang Xiaoman with the responsibility of the wasteland at the entrance of the village.
Su Xiaoxiao found people to reclaim this land the next day. She saw that although it was wasteland, it had no impact at all. After all, if you want to grow peppers, you don’t need to have top-quality fields. As long as the soil properties meet the standards, that’s it. There’s no need to consider anything else.
After fertilizing and watering on time, you can harvest a good pepper seedling.
Not only did Su Xiaoxiao hire people, she also came down to help with the work herself. In this way, nearly an acre of land had been planted in one day.
But after all, this was developing wasteland, so she was still very careful and didn't dare to make any mistakes.
For example, the planting of pepper seedlings involves some factors such as soil temperature and humidity, seed germination, etc. You still need to pay attention to it. After all, these things are new to everyone and are not easy to master.
Su Xiaoxiao taught very carefully, and everyone studied very hard.
After the village committee meeting yesterday, the villagers began to respond to the approval from the capital. Knowing that the planting of pepper seedlings was supported by the imperial court, they all began to imitate Su Xiaoxiao and start planting pepper seedlings.
At the village meeting yesterday, Su Xiaoxiao saw the face of Mrs. Wang, which was really gray and white. She was really scared.
This time the approval was not issued by the county government in the town, but was issued from the capital. She couldn't afford to offend or offend him.
Old Mrs. Wang doesn't want to be arrested again. She must be careful this time. If she is arrested, she will probably be charged with multiple crimes, and it can't be said that she will go to jail.
Although Mrs. Wang did not participate in growing peppers, she would never dare to anger Su Xiaoxiao again this time.
Even if the people in the village had wanted to object to Su Xiaoxiao's pepper planting before, now they had kept their mouths shut and no longer dared to say anything more.
Old man Su also came to help. If he comes to help plant peppers this time, after all, he has the approval from the court, so it will be more legitimate.
Although Old Man Su doesn't know how to grow peppers, he is a veteran in growing crops after all. He has his own theory about farming.
He was on the side and gave Su Xiaoxiao and the others a lot of guidance, and Su Xiaoxiao also learned a lot of crop planting techniques from Old Man Su.
At this time, Su Xiaoxiao felt that she was quite lucky. An experienced farmer like Old Man Su would definitely be able to give her a lot of help in planting crops.
Su Pingan also wanted to come over to help, but Su Xiaoxiao did not ask him to come over. Instead, she left him at home and asked him to take the time to study.
This time, Su Xiaoxiao asked Mr. Li to formulate a complete study plan for Su Pingan, and speaking of it, he must learn all of this in order to win the first place in the future imperial examination.
