Chapter 103: A letter from the capital

Xiao Hanzheng did not beat around the bush.

"That's right. I still need your help to hand over the recipe for the cement."

He was once an official. Although his goal was to seek revenge, he still wanted to do something practical.

In this life, revenge was not his main priority.

He wanted to do something for the commoners and the nation.

His little wife was very good at doing what he wanted.

This allowed him to focus his efforts wholeheartedly to achieve his goals.

The smile on Mo Qingling's face deepened. "You two are very thoughtful. After I go back, I'll write a memorial and send the recipe to the capital."

He said to Xiao Hanzheng, "You should write the recipe down."

Xiao Hanzheng nodded. "Okay!"

After Mo Qingling finished his tour, they returned to the Xiao residence together.

Xiao Hanzheng copied the recipe again and indicated where it came from.

Of course, his wife learnt it from the Taoist temple.

At the same time, he discussed with Mo Qingling about opening a cement workshop.

Mo Qingling thought about it and agreed.

This would benefit the county, so there was no reason for him to object to it.

Besides, the recipe was offered by Xiao Hanzheng and his wife, so building a workshop was not a big deal.

After taking the recipe, Mo Qingling left in a hurry.

He was very busy recently.

He let someone go to the village to inform the villagers who had planted flax not to sell them in a hurry.

After their county built a workshop, they could send them to the workshop for processing.

Not only would the price not be lower than selling the seeds directly, but the villagers could also earn a job vacancy for their family members to work in the workshop.

Shi Qingluo suggested this.

It would also tie the interests of the villagers and the workshops together, so that they would farm and work more diligently.

At the same time, he also followed Shi Qingluo's instructions to plant polygonum multiflorum in a suitable environment that was under his jurisdiction as a county magistrate.

He also budgeted a sum of money from the county yamen to open an oil-extracting workshop.

In the future, apart from selling flax oil, he could also provide raw materials for making flax oil.

Now he also had cement, hence he was even busier.

But he was willing and happy to be busy. It was better than cleaning up the mess left by the previous county magistrate.

After returning to his place, Mo Qingling wrote a memorial and attached it to the cement recipe. He asked someone to send it to the capital as soon as possible.

With Mo Qingling's permission, Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng started to work.

The cement workshop wasn't built beside their old house.

Instead, after discussing with the chief and the others, they built it on an empty land in front of the village entrance.

This time, it was built in the name of the village.
