Xiao Mo ended his trip to the official mansion, and when he had completed all the matters, he signed the documents that he should sign. Xiao Mo also sat on the ox cart and headed home, and did not sit in the Luodu Mansion for more.

Xiao Mo was also a little emotional, the first official position that came to the Great Sui to be regarded as real power turned out to be a small treasurer specializing in managing the granary, such an official position is definitely not high, it is in today's Great Sui, and it is even a small and inconspicuous official position. However, such an official position cannot be said nonsense, and he is indeed in charge of a few small soldiers in his hands, plus a few hundred stones of food. Xiao Mo thought of his future identity, and couldn't help but show some intriguing smiles.

A few hundred stones of food is enough for an individual to eat for more than a year, but for an army, it is definitely not much. And according to the conversion of Yulu, the grain of a few hundred stones is only equivalent to Xiao Mo, a small Wenxin man, who is nominally about a year of Zhengbapin. Such a little food, to be honest, for an army, it is enough for a hundred-person team to eat for two or three months at most, and it is two meals a day, no matter if it is full, in this way, it is not necessary to mention sending such a little food, which can be of any practical use to the entire Longxi army.

To put it bluntly, Xiao Mo's food delivery is just a pretense, a planned thing, nominally so, but secretly it is just a signboard.

After getting the mansion, Xiao Mo found that the atmosphere in the mansion was a little strange, people big and small, no matter who it was, all of them looked a little respectful at this time, such a scene, for the Xiao Mansion where the usual atmosphere was very relaxed, it was really a little different, at least in Xiao Mo's opinion, it was a little unaccustomed.

However, Xiao Mo, who was already accustomed to the style of the people of the Great Sui at this time, saw this, and knew that there must be some big man in his house. Usually, although the top and bottom of the family are also orderly, there is a difference between the top and bottom, but compared to other aristocratic families in this Luodu settlement, it is definitely very free, and Xiao Mo himself likes this free atmosphere very much.

However, since there was a distinguished guest coming to the door at this time, Xiao Mo, as the head of the family, naturally did not dare to slack off, and he also sped up his pace and walked towards his own reception hall. Now Xiao Mo already understands very well that the powerful people here are not simple characters. At least it's not something that Xiao Mo can offend, for those who are higher than his own status, at this time, being more attentive will only benefit him.

Before getting to the reception hall, Xiao Mo saw from a distance that there were two people sitting in the hall talking and laughing and drinking tea, and there were a few unusual guards standing next to them, but obviously the person who came was not the old eunuch Quan Zhi'an as Xiao Mo guessed. It's just that the person who came was sideways, and there were also guards to escort him, and Xiao Mo was really a little unclear from afar.

This also made Xiao Mo's footsteps pause slightly, and his face showed some strangeness. The only person Xiao Mo knows who can be regarded as a big man, and who can be personally guarded by regular army guards, is the old eunuch Quan Zhi'an. Usually, the magnates that Xiao Mo saw would generally only have some guards around them, and these guards also carried some sticks, and they couldn't carry weapons and knives with them, and the control of weapons in the early years of the Great Sui was much stricter than expected.

Now that the status of this person is still above Old Man Han, Xiao Mo can't help but think about whether this person will affect his trip to the north.

However, it turns out that Xiao Mo's nerves have been a little too sensitive recently.

Xiao Mo is actually more familiar with the person who came, it is the great Confucian judge who beat the drum and picked the flowers that day, Wang Yi, the Duke of Yunguo. In terms of status and identity, today's Wang Yi is indeed higher than Old Man Han. And Wang Yi is a civil official, and Old Man Han is a military attaché, in terms of fundamental status, civil officials do have a natural advantage over military attachés, since ancient times, the status of military attaches is ranked below civilian officials, which is also a very practical thing, civilian officials are always more likely to compete for power than military attachés.

Seeing Xiao Mo coming, Wang Yi didn't get up, but looked at Xiao Mo with a smile, according to his status, Wang Yi really didn't have to get up.

Xiao Mo couldn't help but respectfully salute the juniors and said: "Juniors, I have seen Yun Guogong, Guogong is here today, it really makes the cold house shine!" ”

When Wang Yi heard Xiao Mo's words, he waved his hand and said, "There is no need to be so formal, Benjue is here today to do business, but it is a great joy for you." The head of the power personally escorted the military expenses to Daxing City overnight, and the matter was handed over to Benjue.

You're a good kid, you're at such a young age. ”

Xiao Mo is no longer Xiao Mo who didn't understand anything about officialdom before, and hearing what Wang Yi said, Xiao Mo also guessed in his heart. Xiao Mo knew early on that once he completed the military expenses, he would inevitably get a huge reward from the imperial court, and in addition to gold and silver, this reward could win people's hearts and minds by adding officials to the knighthood.

At this time, Xiao Mo looked at the old man Han on the side again, and the old man Han also nodded slightly, so that Xiao Mo was even more clear in his heart.

When Xiao Mo saw this, he immediately arched his hand and said: "The Duke of Lao Guo came in person, and the junior will go and order to go down, so that the whole family can come and listen to the order." ”

Wang Yi, the Duke of Yunguo, heard Xiao Mo's words, and said with a smile: "You kid is really smart, and you know the task of this trip in just a few words." However, it is not necessary to let the whole family come over to listen to the decree, this time His Majesty did not issue an edict, there is no need to edict the world, and there is no need to inform others when receiving the decree, it is enough for you to receive the decree alone. ”

When Xiao Mo heard this, his heart was also a little relieved. What Xiao Mo is most afraid of is to solve the matter of military spending, Yang Jian will come again in the form of an edict to add officials to the knighthood, once the edict is issued to the world, then Xiao Mo's matter will be boiling, which is not a good thing for Xiao Mo at all. What's more, Xiao Mo still has to go north, and the more low-key the better.

Since Wang Yi said that this is not an edict, then according to convention, the normal edict should be used for the promotion of officials. Encouragement and exhortation at the same time, this is the most suitable thing for Xiao Mo today.

Xiao Mo is different now, Xiao Mo is eager to have rights now, but he doesn't want to be too public, such a way to reward is the best. (To be continued.) )
