As for the White Lotus Sect's next move, it is to deal with Zhou Chang's speculation, Xiao Mo is not sure whether it is absolute, but it is certain that this time, the entire Shen County, and even the entire Luzhou, I am afraid that they will have to be cautious.

Regardless of whether the White Lotus Sect wants to burn Feng and close the position, or assassinate Zhou Chang, in short, two things can't happen, Xiao Mo thought about it, it seems that he has to borrow troops.

As for the 3,000 stone grain, Xiao Mo also has to rearrange it, and the three towns will leave 200 stones, 400 stones, and 600 stones respectively according to the proportion, so that there will be 1,200 stone of grain in the county seat of Shenxian County that can be turnover, and these grains can be hidden for the time being, and as for the grain for the daily expenses of the residents, they can go to the grain merchants in the county to buy them.

Of course, now the grain merchants in Shen County have also increased the price of grain more than three times, from the original 30 wen to 100 wen per bucket, and now they can only buy one stone of grain with copper money.

Regarding the rise in food prices, Xiao Mo has not had the time to pay attention to it now, these businessmen took advantage of the drought to make money, of course Xiao Mo kept it in mind, and when the time came, there were ways to deal with them.

At present, the most important thing is, of course, to deal with the White Lotus Sect.

Thinking that the White Lotus Sect might take Zhou Chang as a target, Xiao Mo couldn't sit still, so he asked Zhou Kui to push himself to the backyard of the county government and asked to see Zhou Chang.

Li Ji was still sleeping, but Zhou Chang was woken up by Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo thought for a while and said to Zhou Chang, "My lord, can you go to the study?" ”

In addition to Li Ji's attendants and maids in the courtyard, there were also some tolerances in the yamen, so Xiao Mo asked to talk to Zhou Chang alone.

The two came to the study, and Zhou Chang asked, "Ziheng, what's the matter, don't you go to the governor?" ”

Zhou Chang is the governor, Li Ji is the county order, Xiao Mo, as the head of Shen County and the Shaofu, should also discuss with Li Ji if there is something, but Xiao Mo is looking for Zhou Chang: "My lord, Xiao Mo is here this time to transfer troops!" ”

"Troop transfers?" Zhou Chang was a little surprised, when Li Ji asked to borrow troops before, Xiao Mo was still opposed, why is Xiao Mo also borrowing troops now?

Xiao Mo said: "It's a matter of the safety of adults, so I have to be cautious ......."

Now there is no evidence to prove that the White Lotus Sect's target is Zhou Chang, so Xiao Mo did not say his guess, but the number of troops that Xiao Mo asked for was not large, as long as a team of soldiers, about seventy or eighty people, it would not cost much food.

Zhou Chang's meaning was still a little embarrassed, and he used the words of the army, not to mention the loss of labor and money, but he was afraid that it would cause panic among the people, so he was still silent, Xiao Mo said: "If the adults are worried that they will frighten the people, it is better to let the soldiers and generals wear the clothes of the City Supervision Division, and the City Supervision Department will be divided into two batches today, one group will escort the three towns to transport food at night, and one group will follow Master Lu after discussing the resettlement of the victims with the three towns today, and escort the victims to the three towns, and then garrison there, these soldiers, Xiaguan needs a smarter general, and he will still have to go to the Three Towns and the City Supervisor Division to change his guard in the future! ”

Xiao Mo meant that these soldiers would stay in Shen County in the future, so they used the word 'tune' instead of the word 'borrow'!

Zhou Chang pondered for a moment and asked Xiao Mo: "Can Ziheng guarantee that if this official transfers troops to Shen County, in addition to dealing with the demons of the White Lotus Sect, he can also ensure that the matter of food shortage in Shen County is also solved?" ”

This is to ask Xiao Moli for a letter of guarantee, in ancient times, the letter of guarantee was called a military order. Seeing that Zhou Chang was a little moved, Xiao Mo hurriedly said: "Don't worry, my lord, Xiao Mo can guarantee that not only will Shen County not be short of food, but also make Shen County a rich town!" ”

Zhou Chang nodded, and then pointed to the pen and paper on the table, meaning that Zhou Chang had to make a military order!

Xiao Mo didn't think about it, he directly made the promise he had just made, and then signed his name.

At the end, Xiao Mo said to Zhou Chang: "My lord also wants to guarantee that this matter of transferring troops will be kept secret for the time being, and even Lord Li should not say it, for fear that there are many people who know, and it is easy to leak the news!" ”

Zhou Chang nodded and said, "This official can save it!" ”

Xiao Mo left the study at this time, and then went to find Du Teng.

Du Teng found that he had prepared the documents and account books and other things that needed to be handed over in his public house, Xiao Mo came, and he didn't count them, but just glanced at them roughly, picked up the seal of the Shaofu and looked at it, and then said to the steward of the Yamen Treasury: "This official is the new Shaofu, and he is also the secretary of the county, do you recognize?" ”

The little official obviously knew Xiao Mo, nodded and said, "Yu Shaofu, the subordinates know the adults, what are the orders?" ”

Xiao Mo said: "Du Shaofu's public house, you look outside, after lunch, you go to the house, let Lin Yiye come here, check the things handed over one by one against the material table, be sure to check before sunset, as for the account books, ......"

Xiao Mo glanced at Du Teng, and then continued: "I believe that Du Shaofu is not a person who ignores the law and discipline, and it doesn't hurt to keep this account book and check it slowly in the future!" ”

In this way, it can be seen that Xiao Mo is very relieved of Du Teng's behavior, and Du Teng is also very grateful when he sees this: "Ziheng, public and private should be clear, if Ziheng is too busy today, it is okay to check the accounts in two days, anyway, my term of office still has two days!" ”

Xiao Mo said: "Shaofu is right, since this is the case, the account books will be kept for tomorrow!" ”

After that, Xiao Mo pulled Du Teng and came to the backyard of the county office.

Li Zheng of the three towns came to the county to discuss matters, and Li Ji originally planned to meet them in Binmanlou, but Xiao Mo stopped him, and proposed to Li Ji to put some wine and food in the yamen, and ate something.

Li Ji also agreed, and when it was time for lunch, Li Ji was woken up by the attendants, and then Li Zheng of the three towns also came to the county office.

Lin Chong came from Changle Town, Qiao Zheng from Tongshan Town, and an older old man from Qiao'an Town, Li Zheng Chen Gongruo.

There is no need for Zhou Chang to appear in such a meeting, so he simply rests in the backyard of the county government.

After meeting, Qiao was looking at Xiao Mo, his face was a little unkind.

Although Li Ji promised it, Xiao Mo hadn't heard a letter for so long, let alone personally went to Qiao's house to propose marriage, so Qiao Zheng was very dissatisfied with Xiao Mo's approach, and as soon as they met, he had a straight face: "What about Yu Niang?" ”

I didn't expect that in front of Li Ji and everyone Lizheng, Qiao Zheng actually asked about Yu Niang, Xiao Mo's face was a little embarrassed, but Xiao Mo's face was also thick-skinned, knowing that Qiao Zheng was angry now, and if he didn't speak well, he was afraid that Qiao Zheng's bullish temper would go crazy in the county office, so he hurriedly shouted: "Father-in-law!" ”

This father-in-law shouted Qiao Zheng's eyes open, and Li Ji was smiling, but he also looked at Xiao Mo with some surprise, as for Lin Chong is frowning, on such an occasion, Xiao Mo shouted that Qiao Zheng was a father-in-law, to put it bluntly, Xiao Mo and Yu Niang were originally uncle and sister-in-law, although they later learned that Yu Niang's marriage book was torn up by Xiao Mo's brother, but Xiao Mo and Yu Niang did not go through the matchmaker, and then matched the eight characters, signed the marriage book, and did not worship the church to get married, so calling Qiao Zheng as a father-in-law, I am afraid that it will be criticized.

But Xiao Mo didn't care, and after shouting Li Ji, he saw that although Li Ji was surprised, he was obviously unwilling to accept this title!

Xiao Mo said: "Father-in-law doesn't like Xiao Mo shouting like this?" How about the father-in-law? ”

Qiao Zheng snorted, a little dissatisfied with Xiao Mo's somewhat scoundrel appearance.

Xiao Mo ignored it and continued: "The father-in-law can't do it either, then Taishan!" ”

Qiao Zheng's face became the color of pig liver, rising, this Xiao Mo's face is really outrageous, usually I can't see it, Qiao Zheng was so confused by Xiao Mo's words that he couldn't say anything, just pointed at Xiao Mo, after a long time, he sighed and slowly put down his hand: "Okay, don't be embarrassed, I heard that your mother is sick, this time I also brought some supplements to supplement your mother's body, these things, let's go back and talk about it!" ”

The tone finally softened, and there was no way for Qiao Zheng to soften down, first, Xiao Mo is indeed promising now, and he has become the Shaofu and secretary of Shen County; The second is that Yu Niang's mind can't be changed, and besides, she has been in the Xiao family for three years, and if Yu Niang goes out again, others are afraid that they will not believe that Yu Niang is still Yun Ying's body.

What a terrible thing to say! So Qiao Zheng had no choice but to sigh and accept Xiao Mo's title.
