Lord, as expected, the news from the guards that the horse couldn't stop people. After a few days, Dian Wei came to Chen Mo's side and said, "The last general will let me bring someone to help that Ma Jun, who dares to violate the yang and yin at this time, and kill him directly." ”

Ordinary craftsmen have no status, at most the workmanship is better, Chen Mo values Ma Jun, what he values is Ma Jun's ability to innovate in the equipment, if it is only compared to the craft, Ma Jun is a young man, even if he is talented, where can he compare with the craftsman who has been immersed in the craftsman for a lifetime?

Chen Mo nodded, Ma Jun was not even a poor man, and he had never seen much of the world, and he suddenly became a six-hundred-stone master, where could he control the scene? Now Chen Mo doesn't have time to let Ma Jun get familiar with officialdom a little bit, this time is to grab time, which is also the reason why Chen Mo directly asked people to come forward to help Ma Junzhen.

But let the pawn go?

Chen Mo looked at Dian Wei and seriously suspected that this guy was using his power for personal gain and wanted his son to become a leader.

"Lord, he is not small, you know the ability, don't talk about martial arts, follow me, this knowledge is yours!" Dian Wei was a little uncomfortable when Chen Mo looked at him, and he smiled dryly.

What do you mean by me?

Chen Mo's face turned dark, and he snorted coldly: "If this matter can be done well, come to my door to make a master book, as for what position will be arranged in the future, let's see." ”

Dian Man is indeed taught by Chen Mo, but his personality is indeed the same as Dian Wei, it is difficult for you to make him a civil official, but it is not good to be a guard commander for a lifetime like Dian Wei, but Dian Man is still young, unlike Dian Wei, which has been formed and difficult to change, and now he has begun to learn to learn the art of war and read, and he may be able to be more promising than Dian Wei in the future.

"Oh, thank you, my lord!" When Dian Wei heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately thanked him.

"Go do things, it's going to be busy this year." Chen Mo waved his hand, since he had promised to teach the canon to be full, it was naturally meant to be prepared, unless the canon was really a piece of rotten wood, otherwise the son of his own guard general would be closer than others.

"Whoa!" Dian Wei got what he wanted, and ran to continue to be busy with his own affairs, in fact, as a personal guard, Dian Wei generally has nothing to do in Chang'an City, training Chen Mo's personal guards, and then most of the time it is for Chen Mo or Li Ru and Jia Xu to help them, after all, as Chen Mo's personal guard, Dian Wei can represent Chen Mo's face in many cases, and many things, let him come forward on behalf of Chen Mo, and the effect is unexpectedly good.

Spring ploughing has arrived, it is the busiest time of the year, and this year is as Chen Mo expected, it is a dry year, the whole spring, not a drop of rain in the huge pass, and along with the drought comes there is also insect plague, generally if there is not much snow before the year, there will be a lot of insects in the next year, and there are not many effective ways to remove insects, so that the doctor can prepare poison to kill insects Many times the dealer can also give the poison to the poison, so it can only be manually dewormed.

Even if enough things have been done, this year's poor harvest is already a sure thing, and with the end of spring and the drought in Guanzhong, more and more rumors have begun to spread in the market, such as this year's drought, which is actually Chen Mo's immorality and God's punishment for Chen Mo.

Although this kind of rumor has no basis, and the people of Guanzhong actually have a much better perception of Chen Mo than Li Dao and Guo Yan, they can't stand this rumor flying all over the sky, and ordinary people don't have the ability to distinguish right from wrong, more people are like clouds, and these days, people believe this, but they don't know that ordinary people, even Chen Mo believes in immortals.

"Lord, this is someone who wants to dismantle the lord's growing reputation among the people." Li Ru frowned and looked at Chen Mo, this year seems to be very hot, it is still early summer, which already makes people feel out of breath, but what is even more depressing is that there are more and more voices against Chen Mo in Guanzhong now, even if Chen Mo has done a good enough job in dealing with this year's drought and is decisive enough, but politics is not something you can do well.

At first it was just a little gossip, and then some specious evidence, step by step hit the popularity that Chen Mo had accumulated in the past year.

"The lord should refute the rumors as soon as possible." Xu Shu also nodded.

"If it is useful to refute rumors, rumors will not breed so easily, and once people have inherent cognition, it is difficult to change." Chen Mo shook his head, he naturally knew the harm of rumors, in fact, Chen Mo was indeed quite angry during this time, there were already people in the court who were squeezing him, and what disappointed him the most was that Zhao Wen and Zhong Xuan, who had a good relationship with him on weekdays, did not stand up to support him in this incident.

Although he had no friends politically, Chen Mo was still very uncomfortable.

"But you can't do nothing, although rumors stop at the wise, but how many such wise people are there in this world? The rumors are as fierce as a tiger to be true. Xu Shu said urgently.

"Naturally, I can't do things, but it's too tiring to refute rumors, and now that there is a big drought in Guanzhong, there are many things to do, and I don't have time to waste too much energy on this kind of thing." Chen Mo smiled.

"What is the plan?" Xu Shu and Li Ru looked at Chen Mo.

"There are some." Chen Mo divided the prepared bamboo slips to the three of them: "Take a look." ”

The three of them opened the bamboo slip in confusion.

Huangfu Song and his brother's woman are not clear? Li Ru looked at the contents of his bamboo slip in amazement.

Zhao Wen fornicated with the Qiang people? Xu Shu frowned, this problem is a bit serious.

Zhong Xuan's secret communication with Cao Cao? Jia Xu closed the bamboo slip with a calm face.

"Lord, are these news true?" Xu Shu looked at Chen Mo in disbelief.

"I don't know." Chen Mo shook his head: "I made it up casually, but it is reasonable and well-founded, it should be able to make people believe it, right?" ”

"But this is not a crime!" Li Ru frowned and said, Chen Mo shouldn't fabricate incriminating evidence to frame the minister out of thin air because of rumors, right?

"I know, and I'm not prepared to punish the crime." Chen Mo nodded, he would not break the rules of the game: "Just use the way of others to govern others." ”

"The lord's meaning is ......," Xu Shu felt that he had grasped the point.

"It's too difficult to refute the rumors, since the rumors say that I have a loss of virtue, then let people see who is a loss of virtue, and at this time, even in the face of everyone's incomprehension and abuse, I am working day and night to alleviate the drought, and everyone is not clean, I think I am easier to be forgiven by the people, what do you think?" Chen Mo smiled.

This is a war of reputation, invisible gunsmoke, Chen Mo doesn't know who is secretly pushing the hand, and he doesn't need to know, there are many people in the DPRK who are dissatisfied with themselves, three dukes and nine kings, one is counted as one, it is possible, and there may even be more than one, because of the drought this year, but it does not threaten the scholars, but it is a good opportunity for the gentry in many places to take advantage of the opportunity to develop, not to mention anything else, the price of grain can double the wealth of many people and annex a lot of land, but Chen Mo is so vigorous in fighting the drought, it can be said that it has touched the interests of many people, Even if these people are pulled out and killed, compared to the current situation, there is no benefit, but it will be more infamy, since they want to play this, then don't blame Chen Mo for dragging everyone into the water.

"Wonderful!" Xu Shu stroked his palm.

"High!" Li Ru smiled.

"The lord is clever!" Jia Xu echoed.

"It's just that I want to preside over the overall situation, and all the counties need me to come forward, I'm afraid I don't have time to do this!" Chen Mo looked at the three of them, the method had already gone, but who would carry it out......

"My lord, I'm afraid it's hard to do it below." Xu Shu shook his head with a wry smile and said, this is not in line with himself, how to fight this kind of rumor war, even if Xu Shu knows the method, he may not be able to use it well.

"The accounting and allocation of grain and straw in each county in this pass is ...... in the next place" Li Ru and Xu Shu looked at Jia Xu in unison.

Jia Xu: "......"

Is it too late to call it sick? This is something that offends people, if you don't know it, it's okay, if you let people know that it's your own shot, I'm afraid ...... The good days are coming to an end.

"Then it's bothering Wen He, some of my subordinates are proficient in this way, so they will be dispatched by Wen He, and they must be as fast as possible to let the people take their attention away from me." Chen Mo looked at Jia Xu with a smile.

"Obey!" Jia Xu's chubby face was full of smiles, and he bowed slightly, Chen Mo obviously didn't give him a chance to refuse.

"Tomorrow I will get up and help the wind, everyone encourage me." Chen Mo got up and smiled.

"Whoa!"

Next, Chen Mo didn't care about this matter anymore, and took Dian Wei, Ma Jun and Dian Man to Fufeng, the drought here is more serious than Jingzhao, and the project here is slower than Jingzhao's, Chen Mo stayed in Fufeng until midsummer, personally presided over the distribution of grain, organized the people to dig ditches, and dug wells, and stayed in Fufeng for two months, and at the end of summer, he got up and returned to Chang'an.

When Chen Mo returned to Chang'an, before he returned to the government office, he encountered a sergeant blocking the road and complaining, asking the court to punish Huangfu Song severely.

So serious? What the hell did Jia Xu do!?

Chen Mo was a little curious, and after appeasing a few scholars, he returned to the mansion and began to look at Jia Xu's actions in the past two months.

Huangfu Song's fornication daughter-in-law? Zhao Wen and his uncle and sister-in-law? Zhong Xuan can sit firmly in the position of the controller, and the secret behind it!?

Many things are fake at first glance, but just like the people believed that Chen Mo was immoral, many times, the people were blind, and these rumors were fabricated as if they were watching from the sidelines, so from Sangong to Jiuqing, now the entire Chang'an court from top to bottom, there seems to be no virtuous person.

Looking at these, as well as some of the information recorded recently, Chen Mo's serious face, the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be stopped no matter what.

"Lord, Huangfu Song sent someone to invite the lord to the banquet." Dian Wei came in and said with a prayer post.

"Let's just say that I have a tired journey and feel a little unwell, and when I go back, if there is anything, I will discuss it tomorrow morning!" Chen Mo waved his hand, he won this battle.
