Chen Mo and Xu Liqiu didn't expect to bump into each other here, so they chatted with interest.

"Brother Chen, I said a long time ago that you are not only a noble person in Lidong, but also a noble person in mine. Because of the robbery you were made not long ago, I not only won the reward of the county government, but Captain Yang also promoted me, although I usually guard the city gate, but I am already one of the four squad leaders. ”

"Congratulations to Brother Liqiu." Chen Mo congratulated him sincerely, "Now I am the squad leader, and in the future, I will be the captain, and even the captain who guards the city." ”

"Haha, that's not to think about." Xu Liqiu hurriedly waved his hand, "If it weren't for you, brother, I wouldn't even be this little captain." ”

"Since Brother Liqiu looks down on me so much, then I'll say more, don't you really want to make a big contribution?" Chen Mo said, lowering his voice.

Xu Liqiu's face changed slightly, and he leaned closer and asked, "Brother, how should I understand this?" In the absence of war, where does meritorious service begin? ”

"Who says you can't make meritorious service without war?" Chen Mo smiled and nodded slightly, "Isn't the current thing just an opportunity?" ”

"Brother is talking about, transporting supplies?"

"That's right." Chen Mo nodded and looked outside, "I took a cursory look just now, the matter of requisitioning livestock from the people is not very smooth, right?" ”

"It's not just that it's not going well, it's just going to be difficult." Speaking of this, Xu Liqiu scratched his head directly, "Good livestock, you can't rent it at all." On the contrary, those who are old, weak, sick and disabled cannot be sifted. I roughly calculated, and at the current pace, I won't be able to complete the task at all. ”

"Do you know what the sticking point is?" Chen Mo asked.

"Of course, I know that the people are reluctant to rent good livestock, firstly, because the military supplies are heavy and the distance is long, and secondly, the people who drive the car are all from the battalion, and they will not feel sorry for the livestock. Xu Liqiu's analysis penetrates into the inside.

"So what do you think should be done?" Chen Mo continued to ask.

"If I knew, I wouldn't have cursed just now." Xu Liqiu smiled bitterly, "Don't say it's me, Captain Yang has been turning gray in the past few days." ”

"And what if I have a way?"

Speaking of this, Chen Mo's eyes flashed.

Xu Liqiu was first shocked, and then overjoyed.

"Brother, don't sell it at this time, tell me quickly, what's the solution?"

"Find a caravan." Chen Mo had already calculated, and said without thinking, "The caravans are all horse-drawn carriages, not only are the feet faster, but they also pull more things. The main thing is that you only need to send someone to escort you, and you don't have to worry about the rest, you will save a lot of things inside and out. ”

As soon as he heard that it was a caravan, Xu Liqiu suddenly lost interest.

"Brother Chen, your idea is very good, but it is too difficult to implement. Do you think we didn't think about looking for a caravan, and they didn't take this job at all. ”

"Why don't you pick it up?" Chen Mo was puzzled.

"It's not about money." Xu Liqiu explained, "Generally, the delivery of materials is settled after arrival, and sometimes even not settled at all, just find an excuse and delay it." You have to know that it doesn't matter how big the caravan is, if you put it in front of tens of thousands of troops, it's not a fart. ”

"According to Brother Liqiu, the money for this errand is not easy to earn." Chen Mo muttered.

"I'm in the army, so it stands to reason that I shouldn't mention this, and now I tell my brother that I want to break this thought as soon as possible, otherwise there will be no place to cry when the time comes." Xu Liqiu sighed.

"If that's the case, I'd love to make a trip." Chen Mo smiled.

"Brother Chen, are you okay?" Xu Liqiu raised his hand to touch Chen Mo's forehead, "I've said everything I need to say, why are you still more energetic?" ”

"It's not a competition." Chen Mo shook his head and got up confidently, "Money is hard to earn, but it's not that it can't be earned." On the contrary, if you do it properly, it will definitely be a long-term financial road. ”

"Brother, do you really want to do it?" Xu Liqiu was still not at ease.

"." Chen Mo nodded.

"Can you find the caravan?"

Seeing that Chen Mo had made up his mind, Xu Liqiu couldn't persuade him.

"It should be."

Chen Mo thought about it, this kind of thing can't find Mrs. Wang, you have to find Huameishu.

Even Huameishu can't handle it, you have to rely on the power of the old man of the Hua family, after all, the Hua family's business is very large, and it also has its own caravan.

"Okay, even if you can find the caravan, brother, will you have to follow it yourself?" Xu Liqiu then asked.

"Go."

Chen Mo had already thought about this, not only to go to the barracks, but also to the border.

"Okay, I'll apply to Captain Yang when the time comes, go with you, and I'll take care of it when the time comes." Xu Liqiu clenched his fists.

"Brother Liqiu, do you think this will work, I'll contact the caravan later, you put the matter here aside first, and go to Captain Yang to talk to you." Chen Mo thought about it and said.

"Yes, what will happen next?"

"When I have confirmed the news over there, I will ask Lidong to inform you, and when the time comes, please persuade Captain Yang to go to Baijiazhuang in person." After speaking, Chen Mo remembered the most important point, "By the way, when will the materials be transported at the latest, and how far is the journey?" ”

"We have to leave in twenty days at the latest, and the further we go, the better. The journey takes about five days to reach the fortress bordering Huxia. ”

"Okay, then I'll go back first, and send someone to inform me at any time if the situation changes." Chen Mo offered his farewell.

"Brother Chen, the meal is here, let's leave after eating." Xu Liqiu retained.

"No, the family is still waiting." After Chen Mo finished speaking, he walked out of the house.

"Come on, send Brother Chen back."

"Can I drive the ox cart back?" Chen Mo found his old cow.

"Absolutely."

Xu Liqiu signaled for permission, and as for the leased money, it was just pushed directly to the cattle dealers.

The old cow knew the master, and rubbed his head affectionately after seeing Chen Mo.

This made Chen Mo's heart somewhat uncomfortable.

"Let's go, I'll take you home."

With emotion, Chen Mo patted Lao Niu's back.

The old cow rose up vigorously, and for a while it seemed to be much younger.

"The official is back?" Seeing Chen Mo, Qin Xianglian trotted out all the way, "Lao Niu is also back, and the heart of the slave family has finally landed." ”

"Have you eaten?" Chen Mo only felt hungry.

"Brother-in-law, after you were taken away, everyone was left to worry, and they still had the heart to eat." Qin Qing'er also came over.

"I'm fine, the cow is fine, and you'll be fine." Chen Mo gave everyone a reassurance, waved his hand and said, "Come on, start building." ”

"Official, did you encounter something happy just now?" Qin Xianglian was puzzled.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, Chen Mo nodded, and leaned into Qin Xianglian's ear to make a joke.

"It's inconvenient to have a lot of people now, and when I go back, I'll tell you in the bed."
