Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

In addition to being used to fight the plague, making mosquito coils also provides the villagers of Hezhong Village with a way to make money.

Just like purchasing fish, shrimps and crabs in the past, the villagers of Hezhong Village were asked to collect various materials needed to make mosquito coils, dry them in the sun, grind them into powder, and purchase them at the price of ten cents per pound.

Compared to fish, shrimp and crabs, mosquito coils are a business that can be done for a long time, and there is no need to worry about them being stolen.

At present, Chen Lang is quite famous in Nanhe County. In addition, he has the support of the county magistrate Fan Cheng. It is impossible for others to steal the mosquito coil production formula.

The only person capable of stealing the mosquito coil formula is the county magistrate Shi Liguo.

However, due to his poor performance in disaster relief, it is questionable how long Shi Liguo can stay in Nanhe County. Once he is transferred, the position of county magistrate will probably fall on Fan Cheng.

At that time, no one would even think of learning the formula of mosquito coils.

Mosquito coils are medicinal products and need to be distinguished from the tofu shop's business. Chen Lang asked Li Xiuzhi to be fully responsible for the production of mosquito coils. She is meticulous and is the most suitable person to do this.

Li Xiaohu finally got a serious job, which was to become the purchasing director of the tofu shop.

He is responsible for purchasing all the necessary raw materials.

As a result, the tofu shop was short of staff. Fortunately, Sun Yuwei and Chen Tao, who had recovered, joined the team and solved this urgent problem.

Chen Lang brought more than a dozen mosquito coils to Pingzhilin and demonstrated the effects of mosquito coils to Doctor Sun.

Dr. Sun praised it highly.

Mosquitoes are the main carrier of plague. If we solve that problem, we can solve many problems.

Chen Lang also provided some modern epidemic prevention experience.

For example, you must wash your hands before meals and after defecation, water must be boiled before drinking, dead poultry and livestock must be buried deeply and not eaten secretly, etc.

In fact, Doctor Sun also knows the importance of these details, but to be frank, he is just a doctor and cannot force the villagers to follow his methods.

Chen Lang said this was easy to handle and he could just ask the government to intervene.

Those who don't listen to advice will be severely punished. As long as a few troublemakers are dealt with, everyone will behave themselves.

Sun Sizhen picked up the mosquito coil and went to the county government office to find Fan Cheng.

After witnessing the wonderful uses of mosquito coils, Fan Cheng stated on the spot that until the epidemic problem was resolved, all mosquito coils would be purchased by the county government and then distributed to the people free of charge.

The reason why Fan Cheng dared to be so arrogant was because he received disaster relief funds allocated by the government.

Five hundred taels of silver.

This money is more than enough to purchase mosquito coils.

However, after Shi Liguo learned about this, he became furious and ran directly to Fan Cheng's office, cursing at him.

"How dare you privately withdraw money from the treasury without my consent? Do you still respect me, the county magistrate, and the hierarchy?"

Fan Cheng was not afraid at all, because the two inspectors from the government office said before they left that the prefect was very satisfied with his performance and told him not to have any scruples and to do his work freely.

With the support of the prefect, Fan Cheng would certainly no longer be afraid of Shi Liguo.

"Master Shi, I'm using disaster relief funds," Fan Cheng replied calmly. "This money was originally intended for disaster relief. The mosquito coils invented by Chen Lang can effectively kill mosquitoes. Doctor Sun of Pingzhilin has personally confirmed that this product can effectively prevent the spread of epidemics."

"Therefore, there is nothing wrong with me using the disaster relief funds to buy mosquito coils. If you feel it is inappropriate, you can report me to the higher authorities."

Shi Liguo's face turned pale. He raised his finger and pointed at Fan Cheng, gritting his teeth and saying, "Okay, if you're brave, we'll see."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

But because he walked too fast, his foot was tripped by the threshold and he almost fell.

Fan Cheng suppressed his smile and said, "Sir, please be careful."

Shi Liguo returned home and smashed things in the study to vent his anger.

A moment later, the housekeeper came to the door and said cautiously, "Master, there's a letter from Qinzhou Prefecture."

Shi Liguo hurried over and snatched the letter from the butler's hand.

After the two inspecting officials from Guangling Prefecture left, Shi Liguo immediately wrote a letter asking for help to his relatives in Qinzhou Prefecture.

I hope my family can come forward and communicate with the prefect of Guangling Prefecture.

One was to keep his position as county magistrate, and the other was to transfer Fan Cheng away.

Nanhe County does not allow the existence of such an awesome county magistrate!

However, the methods that worked in the past failed this time.

My family's reply was just one sentence.

"self resolved."

Shi Liguo almost vomited blood on the spot!

What he didn't know was that his family was also busy fighting.

If Yan Xiaoguo's death made the Shang Party in the court feel in danger, then Xiao Yu's return to the cabinet meant that the emperor had completely abandoned the Shang Party, and the Shilin Party had complete control of the cabinet from then on.

But this doesn't mean the fight is over.

After eliminating the external enemy, the Shang Party, the new and old parties within the Shilin Party launched a new round of party struggles.

At this critical juncture, local officials are also faced with the problem of choosing sides.

The Shi family could not stay out of it either.

At this time, who would care about the dispute between the county magistrate and the county magistrate in a small county town?

And in the eyes of the Shi family, as a county magistrate, Shi Liguo could not even control the county magistrate, and had to ask for help from his own family. It was simply shameful.

That's why they let Shi Liguo fend for himself.

Shi Liguo's biggest support was his family, and their laissez-faire attitude made Shi Liguo behave himself instantly.

Since we can't check and balance Fan Cheng, let him be arrogant for a while.

Anyway, as long as the position of county magistrate is still under his control, Fan Cheng will still give him some face.

Wait until the disaster is over and everything returns to normal, then I’ll find a way to deal with him and that Chen Lang!

Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Fan Cheng held all the power, serving as the county magistrate and exercising the authority of the county magistrate.

Shi Liguo did not argue with him and acted as a mascot honestly. He signed all the decrees submitted by Fan Cheng without even reading them.

Although this feeling was very pleasant, a sense of uneasiness also surged in Fan Cheng's heart.

He always felt that Shi Liguo was planning something big.

Therefore, in recent years, Fancheng began to gradually shrink its own power and returned all the things that the county magistrate did to Shi Liguo.

Shi Liguo accepted all the instructions, but when issuing specific decrees, he would always add a sentence: "It can only be implemented after Lord Fan agrees."

Fan Cheng understood that Shi Liguo wanted to flatter him to death.

In this way, the act of exceeding authority is made into an established fact and then reported to the superiors.

How to say it, this method is stupid, but with Shi Liguo's intelligence, he can come up with this idea, which really makes things difficult for him.

As for how to crack it, it’s very simple, just take a leave!

The disaster is over and people's lives have returned to normal. No one can find fault with taking leave to rest on the grounds of physical exhaustion.

Shi Liguo thought his plan had succeeded and was very proud of himself.

Once people become proud, they are prone to making stupid moves.
