Chapter 126 Rat Shit

Mr. Liao was then satisfied and went with Sun Lizheng to the Jiang family's cotton field on the south slope to check.

At this time, the cotton has grown very tall, and some have begun to bloom.

However, there are many weeds in the fields and they need to be weeded in time.

"The Ming government asked me to come over and see how the cotton is growing and whether additional fertilization is needed." Although Liao Qilin was a scholar, his family also farmed and he knew a little about mulberry farming.

Jiang Sanlang said: "It must be fertilized. The field like mine is a lower-grade field. We have spread pond mud and water and fertilizer from plant retting before. It is estimated that the yield per mu will reach five to six hundred kilograms. If we don't fertilize, the field will be lower-grade." The yield per mu is only two to three hundred catties."

Liao Qilin nodded and motioned for him to continue.

"Not only do you need to fertilize, but you also need to remove some cotton leaves when the flowers are blooming. First, you need to allow more flowers to bloom, and second, you need to give the cotton buds enough light."

Jiang Sanlang said: "I also learned from other old farmers. The leaves of crops that bloom and bear fruit should not be too lush, otherwise they will rob the fruits of nutrients."

"Yeah, that makes sense."

Several people were watching the situation in the cotton fields while walking. Mr. Liao suddenly asked: "Brother Jiang, I heard that every family in your village grows golden ear, and the profits are pretty good, but is this true?"

Jiang Sanlang said vaguely: "It's just to supplement the household income. Many families in our village couldn't even eat before. We have to find ways to make some money. Otherwise, everyone will be like the people next door, who have to go out to beg for food during the lean period."

Liao Qilin smiled: "Brother Jiang, don't worry too much. I just asked casually, where did your golden ear seeds come from?"

"First, my daughter picked it up in the mountains and forests, and then slowly started to plant it. Now I keep the inoculum at home, and I only have enough to grow some at home," Jiang Sanlang said.

This matter cannot be hidden. Instead of letting Mr. Liao misunderstand and misunderstand from others, it is better for him to say it himself.

Liao Qilin smiled and said: "To be honest, life in my hometown is not easy. If they could make some other income like your village, they wouldn't have to drag their families and families to flee the fields."

Jiang Sanlang found it difficult to answer the question.

Sun Lizheng came to the rescue with a smile: "Not every family in our township grows golden ear fungus, and many farmers are not hungry. Sanlang and his friends have limited golden ear fungus, so everyone is queuing up to wait for them to get it out evenly."

Jiang Sanlang glanced at Sun Lizheng and did not answer.

Indeed, recently many people from other villages came to buy golden ear fungus, but he could not give his own fungus to others, so he did not agree for the time being.

As for whether other people in the village sell or not, he has no control over it.

Manager Zhou Mao once said that their acquisition of golden ears also depends on supply and demand. If the supply exceeds demand, one will have to lower the price, and the other will suspend the acquisition.

He has told the villagers about this, so the villagers are very protective of their food and rarely sell golden ear fungus to outsiders.

But everything cannot be absolute. Every family has relatives in other villages, so it is impossible to guarantee that they will secretly send some to their close relatives.

Liao Qilin didn't say this casually. Maybe he also wanted to create some sideline income for people in his hometown.

A group of people visited the cotton fields. Mr. Liao specifically went to see the mushroom sheds of the three Jiang brothers, and then went to other houses to have a look. After sighing for a few times, he finally boarded the carriage.

Before leaving, he also told Sun Lizheng: "Sun Weng should severely punish those who break the law and cunning people. Such blatant extortion has really ruined the atmosphere of the village."

"That's for sure. Don't worry, Mr. Liao. I will definitely teach the Leng family a lesson. I also ask you to put in a kind word to the Ming Mansion." Sun Lizheng spoke sincerely.

"I will make it clear to the Ming government. When the cotton harvest comes, the senior officials may come here to inspect it in person. Then don't bring out those corrupt people who will damage the reputation of your town."

"Yes, thank you for reminding Mr. Liao." Sun Li was clasping his fists towards Mr. Liao and watching the carriage drive away.

Back at the village hall, Sun Li was furious.

This Leng family is nothing but rat shit. If they don’t teach them a lesson today, they will really think they are made of dough.

"Go and call Leng's husband Zuo Cheng! Then go to Lengjia Village and call their village chief!"

He didn't believe that a woman who was unruly could not be cured.

Not long after, Zuo Cheng came over, followed by his daughter, Miss Zuo.

Sun Lizheng asked: "What's going on with your mother-in-law? Why do you harass the Jiang family again and again?"

Before Zuo Cheng could say anything, Miss Zuo said, "That woman is no longer from our family. My father wrote a divorce letter yesterday and asked her to go back to her parents' home."

Sun Lizheng frowned: "Why do you divorce your wife if you are so good?"

Miss Zuo: "Not only is that woman unruly, but she also feeds unfamiliar silver wolves. Our family cannot afford to raise them! She gives birth to children but does not raise them. She also steals the family's money and returns to her parents' home again and again. Uncle Li Zheng, this kind of Who dares to keep a woman?"

Sun Lizheng turned to Zuo Cheng and asked, "What do you mean?"

Zuo Cheng sighed: "Li Zheng, I really can't afford it anymore. She stole thirty taels of silver from me in half a year. She didn't care about the two children at home who were so hungry that she ran back to her parents' house whenever she had time. She spent all her money. Then he was willing to come back.

Before I even said a few words to her, she came to the door with her brother. Look at my head, the bump as big as an egg has not even gone off. If my son-in-law hadn't come, I would have been beaten to death by her family. . "

"Is this so?" Sun Lizheng looked at the Leng family again, his eyes even more unkind.

What kind of family is this? They are just a bunch of scoundrels.

It happened that Muramasa of Lengjiacun also came over. "Li Zheng, what's the matter with calling me?"

Sun Lizheng said to Leng, mother and son, "These three people from your village went to Chen Village to extort money. How do you think we should solve it?"

When the village leader of Lengjia Village saw that it was Mrs. Cao's family who committed the crime again, he felt unhappy and clasped his fists at Sun Lizheng:

"Li Zheng, I can't control this family. Just do whatever you think. The families who jointly provide security for their family have said that if Mrs. Cao and her family commit crimes again, they will jointly petition to be evicted from the village."

"Well, since you can't help it, just charge him with extortion."

Sun Lizheng was really fed up with these trouble-making villagers, who were trying to find trouble for him one by one, especially today when they got into trouble with him.

Mrs. Leng and Mrs. Cao were frightened and quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy: "We are not extorting money. Li Zheng, you can't send us to prison."

Leng Da was also confused now and also begged for mercy, not daring to be arrogant again.

Sun Lizheng ignored them and only asked his son to record the whole story, and then asked them to stamp their fingerprints.

None of the Leng family members refused to press, but the villagers held their arms and forced them to press their big palm prints on the confession.

Mrs. Leng and Mrs. Cao cried loudly and repeatedly expressed that they would not dare to do so next time and begged not to send them to prison.

Because once they are sent to official positions, their lives will be over.

A cell is not a place for a woman to stay. After entering, let alone her honor and reputation, she has to decide whether she can come out alive.

Sun Lizheng saw that the heat was almost over, so he showed kindness and power, and made them pay a fine, and then Lengjia Village Murasaki helped them go home.

The village leader of Lengjia Village was also very cooperative. He followed Sun Lizheng in his show indifferently and threatened Granny Cao and his son from time to time.

This trick worked very well. As expected, Mrs. Leng and Mrs. Cao were much more stable, and there were no more troubles after returning home.
