After all the necessary items were fired, Chen Mo destroyed the Chi Kiln directly.
It is better not to touch this kind of thing before the family business develops. After all, the raw materials required are expensive and difficult to obtain.
As for Lin Feng, Chen Mo was not worried at all. Firstly, he believed that he would not rebel secretly, and secondly, he could only scratch the surface of fired glass.
While the pond kiln was being dismantled, people from the county government came to the door, directly issued Chen Mo a letter of appointment as the head of the village, and then hurried back without stopping.
"Guanren, do you really want to be the head of the village?"
Looking at the appointment letter from the county government, Qin Xianglian felt like she was in a dream.
The position of head of a village is not something that only a country gentry or a wealthy family can do.
Take Wang Fuxing as an example. The reason why he became the head of the village is because he has a huge family behind him. When will Chen Mo be able to match his background?
"Xianlian, there's nothing surprising. You still remember what I said that night, right?" Chen Mo smiled and put the letter of appointment in his arms. It will come in handy later.
"What the official said was that the county magistrate that night..."
Halfway through her words, Qin Xianglian quickly shut her mouth, her pretty face showing both excitement and worry.
"Brother-in-law, do you really want to be the head of the village?"
Qin Qing'er came forward with a roar, looking at Chen Mo's eyes with incredible excitement.
She has experienced the hardships of life since she was a child. Although she has just turned fourteen, she has already understood the ways of the world and knows the weight of a lieutenant.
"What, you want to be?" Chen Mo teased.
"You are just like my sister, you just know how to make fun of me and ignore you."
Qin Qing'er pouted and turned her head to one side.
Only then did Lin Feng recover from the shock.
"Shimei, from now on, from now on, you will really be the leader of our Baijiazhuang?"
"No, what's wrong with you?" Chen Mo said speechlessly, "Everyone from the county government saw it just now, why doesn't anyone believe it?"
"It's not that I don't believe it, but it's just too unexpected." Lin Feng said excitedly, "If you become the head of the village, will Wang Papi have to give up?"
"uncertain."
Chen Mo remembered clearly that the person from the county government just issued him a letter of appointment, but did not say that Wang Fuxing's position as district chief would be abolished.
Recalling that after the dinner that day, Wang Anshi said that no one in the county government supported the implementation of the New Deal, we can roughly get a glimpse of the truth of the entire incident.
Wang Anshi was a county magistrate appointed by the imperial court, and he belonged to the reformist group who took office in a different place.
Other officials, including the county magistrate and county captain, are local conservatives.
Although everyone works together and the relationship seems to be harmonious, behind the scenes, there are irreconcilable conflicts of interest.
It is precisely for this reason that Baijiazhuang, as a pilot project of the New Deal, has become a place for gambling.
Under such circumstances, Wang Fuxing's position as mayor will definitely not be abolished.
Because the only person who can abolish this position is Chen Mo.
In other words, Wang Anshi will not give much support in the future, at least on the surface, and Chen Mo can only rely on Chen Mo to deal with everything.
Just like Chen Mo's military order in front of Wang Anshi, if you can't handle a small Baijiazhuang, then take the merit test as soon as possible.
After seeing the situation clearly, Chen Mo said directly to Lin Feng: "Go and notify the neighbors door to door and gather at the grain drying field. I have something very important to discuss with you."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Lin Feng nodded excitedly.
"Remember, don't tell everyone about me becoming the head of the village yet," Chen Mo warned.
"Okay, I get it."
Seeing Lin Feng leaving, Chen Mo signaled Qin Xianglian to find some clean clothes and come out.
"New official, new atmosphere, do you want me to take a bath?" Qin Xianglian joked.
"What kind of official is a village chief?" Chen Mo waved his hand and refused, "Besides, I don't want to be like Wang Papi, who is obviously different from my neighbors in all aspects."
"Everyone listens to the officials."
Qin Xianglian smiled and turned around to prepare her clothes.
As the saying goes, a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. When Chen Mo changed his outfit, his whole person suddenly became different.
He is handsome and elegant in temperament.
But there was a fleeting wildness in those gentle eyes.
"Brother-in-law, why didn't Qing'er realize before that you are so outstanding?" Qin Qing'er asked, blinking her eyes.
"You said that was in the past, it's not surprising." Chen Mo was in a good mood, so he joked, "In the future, you will know how outstanding my brother-in-law is."
cut……
Qin Qing'er curled her lips: "You can just brag. It's not illegal to brag anyway."
"Let's go to the grain drying field."
Chen Mo chuckled and walked out first.
Baijiazhuang, as the name suggests, has hundreds of households.
Because of the topography of the Mid-Levels Mountains, the residences are concentrated, so it is much easier to notify.
When Chen Mo arrived at the grain drying field, most of the villagers had already arrived. After seeing Chen Mo, some people gave them advice.
Without him, he would eat alone.
I first made a fortune by burning charcoal myself, and then I stole 50 acres of Wang Fuxing's land and contracted it to Mrs. Wang. I made a lot of money.
What was even more ruthless was that later, Wang Fuxing exploited the entire village to burn charcoal, but Chen Mo refused to lend a helping hand. Instead, he collaborated with Wang's Merchant Company to steal all the peach trees in the village.
What is the difference between this kind of person and Wang Papi?
Even to some extent, even more hateful than him.
Of course, there are also many neighbors who recognize and respect Chen Mo.
Ignoring Wang Fuxing's existence and opening a kiln to burn charcoal by himself, let alone how much money he made, his courage is worthy of praise.
Later, he failed in the county examination, but was promoted to the teaching position as a blessing in disguise. No matter whether he was lucky or not, he always had real talent and learning.
Such people are role models for children to learn from
Be unyielding, neither humble nor arrogant, this is what a man should be.
As a result, the neighbors at the scene were divided into two groups.
One is that Wang Fuxing's biggest henchman, Wang Chang'an, is the leader, and his words and deeds reveal his dissatisfaction with Chen Mo.
Second, under the greeting of village elder Chen Sanfeng, half of the neighbors said good things to Chen Mo.
"Everyone, let's stop here." Seeing the argument going on, Chen Mo stood up with a smile, "We are all from the same village, there is no need to be so tit-for-tat."
There is a bluestone the size of a millstone on the grain drying ground. In the past, Wang Fuxing stood on it and lectured. Now that Chen Mo has become the chief, he is naturally qualified to stand on it.
But there are always blind things that like to jump out and make a fool of themselves in public.
For example, Wang Changan stopped Chen Mo directly.
"Chen Shimei, if you don't pee and take photos, you can stand in this position?"
"Who can stand if I can't stand?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.
"Aren't you pretending to be stupid?" Wang Changan sneered, "I heard clearly, this position can only be used by the captain."
"Then let's end it and get out of the way." Chen Mo said with a smile.
"Damn it, you're pretending to be stupid, you're really crazy, aren't you?" Wang Changan said and was about to take action.
"Am I pretending to be crazy or stupid?"
While Chen Mo asked in return, he took out the letter of appointment from his arms and stuck it directly on Wang Changan's face.
"Open your dog eyes and see clearly, what is this?"
"Tell me after reading this whether I am qualified to stand on it."
