"Chen Taishou, the emperor's decree has been conveyed, and it is clearly written on it, asking you to rush to Donglai to take up your post immediately." Xiao Huangmen took the copper ingot and said with a smile.

"Do you know why the emperor let Chen serve as the Taishou of Donglai?" Chen Mo stuffed a piece of copper ingot into the sleeve of Xiao Huangmen's wide robe again and asked.

"It is said that the general urgently wrote to the official for the lord yesterday, Lord Chen should hurry up, if the general knows that you are still staying, he will be angry." Xiao Huangmen said with a smile.

Chen Mo nodded and beckoned him to the gatehouse of Luoyang City, and explained that he had left enough copper ingots to be used for several years, and he took Tai Shi Ci and Wu Anguo and quickly rode out of Luoyang City.

According to Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty at this time, even if the officials who are officially appointed and dismissed have to pay the official fee, which is 13 million yuan, the carriage has to pull several carts of impurity copper;

Chen Mo didn't ask to pay the official fee when he was too shou, although Chen Mo didn't care about the price, it might not be a better thing, especially this Taishou and Kong Rong's general duties, but Chen Mo's salary was a little less, but Chen Mo finally had a place where he had the final say no matter what.

Chen Mo and the three of them traveled day and night, but they rushed to Qingzhou in more than ten days, and after paying tribute to Jiao He, who was depressed, the three of them rushed to Beihai Country to explain to Kong Rong, and then rushed straight to Huang County, where the Taishou Mansion of Donglai County was located.

The population of the thirteen counties under Donglai County is about one million, and the county commanders of these counties are very familiar with Chen Mo, and they heard that he came to serve as the Taishou, everyone is ecstatic.

Chen Mo took Wu Anguo as the governor of Donglai County, and Tai Shici as the subordinate. Immediately recruited Zhao Su as Gong Cao and Chu as the main man, and then he asked Zhao Su and Chu to recruit various personnel from the corresponding Taishou Mansion for him, but all the layouts of Donglai County returned to normal in the month.

Wu Anguo and Tai Shici began to practice diligently every morning and evening, and they also took the county soldiers around to train in a hurry, according to Chen Mo, these county soldiers must march a hundred miles with heavy loads to be qualified. So in normal times, Chen Mo even took out all his money and bought fish and seafood that were much cheaper to supplement their nutrition.

Chen Mo didn't dare to rashly take out a large amount of wealth to do things, but he asked people to sell a small night pearl and get 30 million money by seeming to accident, although 30 million is not much, if it is said that a continent thorn is only 3,000 stone years, at this time, this 30 million is enough for him to get 10,000 years to find.

The main industries of Donglai County are fishing and farming, Chen Mo is also very concerned about these things, in agriculture, he has not come up with heavenly creations and agricultural cultivation promotion in later generations, but he still continues to organize people to do it by digging canals and building ponds. Even though it is a seaside, it is not uncommon for months without rain when the drought starts.

As for fishing, Chen Mo gathered all the craftsmen who could build fishing boats in Penglai, gave them materials and enough supplies, and Chen Mo began to let them try to build large pointed bottom boats, as for what they were used for, he only said that they would be used for ocean fishing.

In several secret locations, Chen Mo began to secretly train foundries and mold workers, but he did not have many talents under his command that could be trusted. Otherwise, he would have to begin experimenting with the manufacture of his cannons and muskets.

There are drawings and processes, but unfortunately the technical talents have to be personally guided by Chen Mo, the Taishou. He secretly built a foundry house and a craftsman's house, which was illegal in this era, but fortunately, the Tiangao Emperor of Donglai County was far away, and no one liked to come to this beach to make trouble.

"Report to Lord Taishou, there are rumors of riots in various places, and I have two places in Qingzhou except for Beihai and Donglai. In other places, there are a large number of Taiping Yellow Turban troops. ”

At the beginning of February 184, that is, at the end of the seventh year of the first peace, there was a great drought in all parts of the world, but the major families who hoarded land still did not reduce their rents, not to mention the dim-witted imperial court ignored all this.

Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Taiping Sect, asked the followers of Qing, Xu, You, Ji, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Yu to prepare for an uprising on the fifth day of the third month of the Jiazi year, but was reported by his disciple Qian Zhou, and Ma Yuanyi, the leader of the Taiping Army in Sili, and others were killed, and the imperial court was ready to suppress it, and Zhang Jiao had to announce the Yellow Turban Uprising in advance.

The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious.

Chen Mo listened to the report of the spies he sent out and looked at the uprising declaration of the Yellow Turban Army, this year Chen Mo opened the outer canal to build a pond, and the farmers in Donglai County were not affected, plus there were strong county soldiers in Donglai, even if there were some members of the Taiping Sect here, they did not dare to make trouble here.

"Shaoming, can the officials from all over the country inform them of the pacification of the people?" After Chen Mo waved away the spies, he looked at Zhao Su, who was kneeling down and asked.

Zhao Su is Chen Mo's gongcao, in addition to being responsible for appointing and dismissing officials and reviewing officials in various places, Donglai County, which does not have a county, has to be responsible for helping Chen Mo deal with many things;

To be honest, Zhao Su is also an ordinary official who keeps his integrity, but Chen Mo has no one in his hands and can only use it, at least this Zhao Su and Chu Xing's favor and loyalty to him have exceeded ninety, even if someone can't buy them with heavy profits.

Zhao Su also knew that his ability was so much, he did a good job in addition to inspecting officials, and most of the time he did things according to Chen Mo's explanation.

"My lord, the officials in various places were prepared a month ago, and now they are recruiting village warriors, if the lord said that the imperial court will let all localities recruit troops to suppress the riot, we will recruit tens of thousands of village warriors in a few days, and then let Lord Wu and Lord Taishi train for a month to have a good combat power;

However, the spies reported that the Yellow Turban Army had appeared in Jinan, Qi, Le'an, Chengyang, and Linzi, and that the thief leader Guan Hai had gathered a large number of rebels around Jinan, and if it was not bad, they would begin to sweep the entire Qingzhou within a month. Zhao Su frowned and said in a deep voice.

"This is none of our business for the time being, without the example of the imperial court, we can't easily send troops, and even the matter of us recruiting Xiangyong in advance must not be spread out, where is Lord Confucius of Beihai Kingdom?" Chen Mo squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice.

Bo Chu Xing, the master in charge of contact, smiled slightly:

"Kong Wenju still doesn't believe it, but he is still ready to increase the number of county soldiers to 5,000 people, and let you send someone to take over the military of the place, he seems much more comfortable."

Chen Mo touched his chin, his eyes flashed and said:

"Since Master Kong has this request, then I am not welcome, when the time comes, let Wu Anguo garrison in Changyi, and let Tai Shici lead the army to garrison near Chengyang, once the turmoil starts, we will guard Beihai and Donglai first." (To be continued......)
