Chapter 162: Falling Ill

Luoyang's busyness with the affairs of the imperial court on the right track, after the people's hearts gradually stabilized, they gradually became less busy, Chen Mo also resumed the general life as in Chang'an, the pace of life gradually slowed down, reading books every day, practicing martial arts, and accompanying his family was finally official business.

After all, it is impossible for important things to happen all the time, all Chen Mo needs is to keep the various government offices of the imperial court running well, and trivial matters will be handled by others.

The world is also calm, the three-legged momentum is one, there is not enough certainty, whether it is him or Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, they will not move lightly, Guanzhong continues to recuperate, this year's harvest is better than last year, continue like this, within three years, Chen Mo's side will be rich.

Of course, things in the world can't revolve around one person, and Chen Mo doesn't have the luxury of the most ideal state.

Summer is approaching, and the weather is already faintly scorching.

After the morning light gradually dispersed, the morning market in Luoyang City has opened, and early in the morning, the streets and alleys of Luoyang have gradually become lively.

Prosperity often comes from contrast, compared to the Luoyang City of the year, today's Luoyang is naturally not as prosperous as it was then, and the pedestrians on the streets are not as full of scholars as they were at the beginning, but there are many peddlers and pawns, but the longing and hope for the future, as well as the enthusiasm for life are the prosperity of Luoyang has never been seen at the beginning.

"My lord?" In the government office, looking at Chen Mo's distraction, Li Ru, who was talking, called out.

"Oh~" Chen Mo responded, looked at Li Ru and said with a smile: "The affairs of Montenegro should not be rushed, now Montenegro has been fighting with Yuan Shao, if we appear rashly, it will inevitably make Montenegro vigilant, and give birth to the feeling of being attacked by the enemy, those generals who have been secretly persuaded will not move for the time being, and collect more information about Montenegro." ”

Chen Mo has such a ability, even if he is absent-minded, he can clearly remember every word you just said, this kind of ability, if you don't accept it, you can't accept it.

"My lord, in the past, in order to avoid fighting with the Montenegrin army, the party grain tax was allowed, and now that our army has taken control of the central government, it also has enough strength to defend the party, do you want to cut off this expenditure?" Li Ru asked.

At that time, in order to maintain stability, Chen Mo's eyes were in Guanzhong at that time, and he didn't want to have a bad relationship with the Montenegrin thieves so that he was endlessly harassed by the Montenegrin thieves, so he agreed to Zhang Yan's above party grain tax subsidies in exchange for peaceful coexistence with the Montenegrin thieves.

But now that the times have changed, Chen Mo is in Guanzhong, and he is no longer the small prince who only had the barren land of Bingzhou, although it is a little difficult to attack the Montenegrin army, but it is still easy to defend the city, and there is no need to take the party grain tax to fund the Montenegrin army.

Even if it is broken, does the Black Mountain Army still dare to risk the threat of offending Chen Mo and Yuan Shao at the same time to become an enemy of Chen Mo?

"Not necessarily." Chen Mo thought for a while and said with a smile: "Although there is no faith to talk about with the bandits, if this Black Mountain Army can be subdued, it will be more beneficial to our army, and we can't lose a helping arm with small profits." ”

Shangdang has been tossed by the Montenegrin thieves for so many years, and the population is not much, even if it has recovered some vitality under Chen Mo's governance over the years, but the grain tax that can be provided every year is really not much for Chen Mo, and now Chen Mo's taxes are mainly from the land of Guanzhong Sanfu, there is no need to lose his trust because of this, and the Montenegrin thieves can now be regarded as an arm, even if they can't be subdued, he will definitely be able to use it if he starts a war with Yuan Shao in the future.

Li Ru nodded, that is to say, now Chen Mo's attitude towards the Montenegrin Army is still based on wooing, think about it, Yuan Shao is powerful, and he is still a little annoyed by the Montenegrin Army, and the Montenegrin Army itself is hidden in the mountains, it is difficult to be self-sufficient, if there is not enough food, it will definitely have to be robbed, Chen Mo took the party grain tax and paid the Montenegrin Army, so that they could not make a good move on Chen Mo, which did save Chen Mo a lot of troops, after all, the place where Chen Mo bordered the Montenegrin thieves was no less than Yuan Shao.

"By the way, then You Heng has been in office in Yiyang for more than a month, how are you doing?" Chen Mo suddenly remembered something, looked at Li Ru and asked with a smile.

"You Heng is indeed talented, and now he has just taken office, and he really doesn't have many political achievements, but after the initial hectic, he has gradually figured out some ways, and at present, it is not bad." Li Ru smiled when he heard this.

After all, I read poetry and books, although I haven't done it, but as long as I get used to it, Youheng's full of talent and learning will gradually take effect.

"Find him more things to do, if the Yiyang County Order does a good job, put him out to settle down as a guard, anyway, where it is difficult to treat, send him to where, don't let him bother me." Chen Mo smiled.

"I'm afraid it's hard." Li Ru glanced at Chen Mo strangely when he heard this, and said, "As far as Confucianism knows, You Heng has been on the table yesterday, and he should be back to Luoyang in the next two days." ”

"Huh?" Chen Mo looked at Li Ru suspiciously.

"The lord forgot, if the local government is in need, the county order can apply for assistance from the county government, if the county government does not comply, the county order can directly come to the state capital to show that it is powerful, then You Heng seems to really want to make a meritorious achievement, it is to ask the county government to allocate a batch of money and grain, repair and strengthen Yiyang, and also want to open a few canals, but without permission, he came in person, and wanted to ask the court to allocate grain." Li Ru said with a smile.

"A lot?" Chen Mo frowned and said, if it was normal expenses, Zhong Yun had no reason to veto.

Li Ru nodded: "It's enough for the development of an ordinary county for five years." ”

"I've just sorted out the political affairs, and I'm going to build a big project?" Chen Mo frowned and said, "It's too anxious." ”

"This person is indeed a bit eager to do things." Li Ru nodded, this is a newly discovered problem: "Confucianism has seen its plan, in terms of its plan, it is indeed good, but it wants to do what it takes five years to do in one year, and it requires a lot of money and food." ”

"Send someone to tell him that if everything has to be done by the permission of the imperial court, then anyone can make merits, how can he show that he is only extraordinary?" Chen Mo can be regarded as having figured out Youheng's character, this is a person who desperately needs the approval of others, it may be a bit too much to say that he is cynical, but this attitude of desperately wanting to prove himself will be bad.

"Whoa." Li Ru nodded, and looked at Yang Xiu on the side: "Dezu? ”

"Sir, I'm afraid it's hard for me to persuade you on this matter." Yang Xiu was a little embarrassed when he heard this, although he had a good relationship with You Heng, but because of this, Yang Xiu knew You Heng's character better.

"It's not to persuade, but to let him go back." Li Ru shook his head and said: "You Heng, although he is talented, he is in a hurry, if he is not polished, he will only be unknown in the end." ”

The genius Li Ru has seen a lot, like You Heng, there are indeed very few, but it is precisely because of this that he has developed the character of You Heng, and now let Yang Xiu go is to say that it can be regarded as giving You Heng a step down, but if it doesn't work, it will really make trouble for Chen Mo, and it will be difficult for You Heng to step down at that time.

Chen Mo's ability to tolerate people does not mean that Chen Mo is easy to bully, if You Heng does too much, it will definitely not be good for him.

"Huh~" Yang Xiu nodded with a wry smile, and could only persuade again.

In the next few days, you Heng didn't really come over, whether it was Yang Xiu's dissuasion was effective has not yet been known, Chen Mo in addition to routine daily work in the government office to deal with some copywriting, most of the time he walked at home to accompany his wife and children, and recently Cai Yong finally completed the compilation of the Han book, which was originally a happy event, but Cai Yong fell ill the day after the compilation of the Han book was completed.

After Chen Mo heard the news, he hurriedly went home to stay with Cai Yan and hurried to Cai Yong's mansion.

"How?" Cai Mansion, Chen Mo looked at the doctor in front of him and said.

"Back to the lord, Cai Gong is very old, and all his mind has been consumed in this Han book over the years, and now that the book is completed, Cai Gong has also exhausted his mind, with Cai Gong's body, I am afraid that it will be ......" Tai Yi Ling shook his head and sighed, and did not say any more.

If Chen Mo is in the prime of life, he can still recover through the medicine stone, but Cai Yong is sixty-six this year, and an old man of this age wants to make up for the consumed vitality, the medicine stone is useless, and the body may be difficult to absorb these medicinal powers, so how can he be cured.

"There's no other way?" Chen Mo frowned.

"The lower officials are not good at what they do......"

"Alright, let's go down." Chen Mo waved his hand, the Imperial Doctor was helpless, what was the use of finding someone else?

The Imperial Physician ordered to hurriedly bow down and leave.

Chen Mo pushed the door in, looking at Cai Yan, who was sitting on his father's couch talking to his father, Chen Mo suddenly didn't know how to speak.

"Bo Dao is here?" Cai Yong saw Chen Mo, beckoned to Chen Mo and said, "Between you and my son-in-law, I haven't spoken well for a long time, if it's okay, I'll accompany the old man to say something." ”

Chen Mo put a smile on his face again, nodded according to his words, and came to sit down beside Cai Yan.
