Chapter 3 Talents
The morning sun dispelled the thin morning light, and the charcoal fire had already turned into ashes in the charcoal basin that had been burned overnight, and the rising sunlight shone in through the window screen, which was not dazzling.
Chen Mo was used to being sober at this time, even if it was very intense last night, but at this time, he still woke up spontaneously, and the concubine lost her warmth, and as Chen Mo got up, she also woke up, and hurriedly got up to serve Chen Mo to dress and wash.
"What are the habits that can be lived in these days?" Chen Mo helped the pet concubine brush the loose hair on her chest and asked with a smile.
"It's a lot lighter than ever." Yun Si lowered his head to help Chen Mo tie his belt, and said softly when he heard the words.
In the past, Luoyang was under the fence after all, even if the owner of Zang Mansion was not there, Chen Mo was a guest after all, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but now in Anyi, although the Chen Mansion may not be larger than the Zang Mansion in Luoyang, but she and Juan'er are presiding, and the feeling is naturally different.
"The servants in the palace according to what the husband said, everything is simple, Juan'er recruited four maids, one steward is the deployment of the wounded in the husband's army in the past, and the three cooks were also on duty in the palace, and this time they were sent to Hedong and sent here." While dressing, Yun Si explained to Chen Mo in detail the planning of the mansion during this time.
"In the future, my money will be used for family expenses, and the other ......" Chen Mo looked at Yun Si, thought about it and said: "After I marry the Cai family, the property in this mansion needs to be in her hands." ”
No matter how pampered, but a concubine is a concubine, this gang of ethics can not be messed up, Cai Yong's Chen Mo has already gone to the letter on the way back, and he will come over soon, and when his mother arrives, the two families will get married on an auspicious day, and these things in the house will be managed by Cai Yan, and if Cai Yan is willing to continue to hand over the financial power to Yun Si to manage, it will be Cai Yan's business, but as long as it is not excessive, Chen Mo will not care about these things.
"The concubine is like a willow, and it is a blessing to be able to get the favor of her husband, how dare you be rude to your wife?" Yun Siwen said.
If you want to say that you are not worried about the future, it is impossible, after all, what kind of person is Cai Yan, not to mention Yun Si, even if Chen Mo may not know too much, but the rules are like this, spoiling the concubine and being arrogant, bullying his wife's room, that can be convicted, even if Chen Mo is now the lord, if it spreads, it will be criticized by others, and it will damage Chen Mo's reputation, Chen Mo will never let this kind of thing happen, and Yun Si will not dare to mess around in this kind of thing, otherwise, even if Chen Mo kills her, everyone else will applaud.
Yun Si is also from an official family, and she knows better than Chen Mo the coldness and ruthlessness of the law among the high-ranking families, and she doesn't want Chen Mo to be difficult, she believes that with Chen Mo's character, it is impossible to correct herself, but as long as she doesn't make trouble, she will never let herself be humiliated.
"Sort it out, and come with me to meet the teacher later." Chen Mo nodded, Yun Si is sensible sometimes distressing, but it is also more reassuring, at least there is no need to worry about trivial matters at home.
"Hmm." Yun Si nodded, a little happy in his heart.
Seeing the elders, this is a kind of recognition, but not all concubines are eligible to be taken to see the elders in such a formal way, although there is no clear division, but there is also a difference between concubines and concubines.
I wanted to comb it carefully, but I was worried that Chen Mo would be impatient, Yun Si finally simply sorted out her hair, washed her face carefully, and changed into plain clothes, and then went with Chen Mo to meet Zang Hong.
"Teacher, this is Yun Si, I saw it yesterday, but I haven't officially visited it." Chen Mo took Yun Si to the main hall, breakfast had already been delivered on the table, and Juan'er was following behind Zang Hong, looking well-behaved.
"Yes, I've heard about Yun Si." Zang Hong nodded at Yun Si, sat down with Chen Mo and said with a smile: "Although this woman is not from a high background, she has a bit of nobility, she talks decently, and she is also a good girl." ”
In this era of emphasizing family origin, Yun Si's background is not to say that it is difficult to be a wife to Chen Mo, even if it is an ordinary small official, but the requirements for concubines are not high, it is more about posture, talent is the best, and it doesn't hurt to have no talent, but Chen Mo brought Yun Si to see Zang Hong, obviously he values this woman a little, Zang Hong also asked seriously, virtue needs to be investigated for a long time, but talking, demeanor and cultivation are really good, these things are difficult to pretend, and they need to have a very high level of cultivation.
"But the teacher remembered to tell you that everything needs to be measured." Zang Hong shook his head and said: "I know that you are young, and it is inevitable to be greedy for gentleness, but if you want to achieve great things, you need to control your desires...... Somewhat big! ”
Yun Si's face suddenly turned red, and he bowed slightly: "The concubine body remembers the teachings of the teacher. ”
"It's none of your business, you just don't want to, and if he wants it, you can't refuse." Zang Hong shook his head, looked at Chen Mo, who had no sense of shame, shook his head and sighed: "I still remember when I talked to him about this back then, I was at a loss, and then I realized that I was ashamed, how could I be so unaware as now?" ”
Chen Mo touched his face and said, "The teacher is teaching, but I don't know when to start...... It's hard to feel that way anymore. ”
"It must be like learning from that Cao Mengde." Zang Hong nodded, how could the disciples he taught be so shameless? After Chen Mo entered Luoyang, the most contact was Cao Cao, although Zang Hong also felt that Cao Cao was a character and had a righteous heart, but Zang Hong had also seen it in terms of thick skin.
"Actually, Brother Meng De, he ......" Chen Mo thought about it, it was difficult to explain, saying that he was thick-skinned and cultivated by himself? It was not suitable in front of the teacher, and finally nodded and said: "Other aspects are good, and the knowledge is also high, but sometimes, there is a little less shame." ”
It's up to Brother Meng De to carry this matter, Chen Mo doesn't want people to feel that they are such a person.
"I have written to Cai Gong, this kind of thing, even Dong Zhuo is not easy to stop people." Zang Hong smiled and said: "As for your mother, some time ago, when you wrote to me, I have sent someone to pick it up, if it is fast, I can pick it up here in January, as for your Uncle Wang, they don't know, but those friends you were in Qingzhou at the beginning, I have written to them, there should be someone to come, and when you can leave a few people, it depends on your ability." ”
"Thank you, teacher!" Chen Mo was overjoyed when he heard this, but the teacher still understood himself.
recruited a group of people from Tai Academy, Chen Mo is not short of talents around him at the moment, but next, he is ready to deal with the white wave thieves, and then if there is a chance, take Taiyuan County and even Shangdang, take these two places in your hands, and half of the state, when the time comes, people are not enough after all, although he has some reputation now, but it is not enough to attract talents by relying on this reputation, so he still has to rely on people's recommendations, no need for talents, it is enough to have a county.
"These are all counted as your own knots back then, many of those people have a lot of respect for you, as for that Tai Shici, since he had an accident and left, there has been no news, I often send people to support his old mother in your name, you can write a letter to his home to invite, as for whether he can receive it, I don't know." Zang Hong said with a smile.
Chen Mo made friends with Tai Shi Ci because of the case of Liang Zhuang, and later the two often exchanged letters, Chen Mo also went to Huang County to visit Tai Shi Ci's mother, and there was some friendship, Zang Hong didn't know too much about Tai Shi Ci, but after Tai Shi Ci left over the years, Chen Mo often went to take care of the elderly, after Chen Mo entered Luoyang, Zang Hong and Chen Mo's old friends often visited and fed in the name of Chen Mo.
Of course, if Tai Shi Ci really didn't see it, Zang Hong thought it was a good thing, at least it showed that this kind of person was not worth befriending, and it would be good to see it earlier.
Zang Hong himself didn't have a good impression of Tai Shici, after all, Tai Shici was a little unscrupulous in what happened back then, and he was finally forced to take refuge in another country, which was also his own fault.
Chen Mo knew that Zang Hong was a little prejudiced against Tai Shici, and he didn't say much at the moment, he had breakfast with Zang Hong, chatted about poetry and knowledge, after breakfast, Chen Mo took Zang Hong to the government office, and the plan set before needed to be sorted out as soon as possible, after all, Zang Hong would not be here for too long, and it needed to be launched as soon as possible.
"Lord, this is the third time in the past year that the household registration of each county has been checked." Man Zhong handed the household registration book that had been done in these days to Chen Mo and said: "Now Hedong puts aside the four counties occupied by the white wave thieves, the actual total household registration of the remaining fifteen counties is 67,000 households, and the population is more than 340,000, plus more than 32,000 households that the lord migrated from Luoyang this time, with a total of more than 99,000 households and about 500,000 people. If we don't properly resettle them as soon as possible, we are afraid that cholera will breed in these 10,000 households starting next year. ”
"In this case, simply annexing the White Wave Thieves is not enough to settle them." Chen Mo pondered.
The White Wave Thieves only occupy the land of the four counties, and Chen Mo does not want to exterminate the White Wave Thieves, but wants to swallow them and strengthen himself, so taking the four counties actually can't vacate too much land to settle the displaced people.
"There's a plan down there!" Man Zhong nodded, but his eyes looked at Zang Hong.
"This is my teacher, there is no need to shy away from it!" Chen Mo said with a smile, there are still many things that Zang Hong has to do, and he will have to work together for a long time in the future, no matter what plans he has for Manzhong, Zang Hong can hear it.
"The lord can suspend the annexation of the white wave thief, just defeat it and drive it to the Taiyuan area, so that the vacated fields in the four counties are enough to settle ten thousand households, and the lord can also take advantage of the situation to point to Taiyuan in the name of begging for thieves!" Full of pampering bows.
Zang Hong glanced at Manzhong with some surprise, Chen Mozhao's staff had some skills.
Chen Mo nodded and said, "I'll handle this matter, and you can arrange for these people to migrate to the Baibo Valley area!" ”
It's time for the White Wave Thief to make a move.
