Chapter 77: Leveraging Strength
Not far from Tanxing, Chen Mo instructed Xu Lidong to stop the carriage, and then said goodbye to Huameishu.
"What's wrong?"
Hua Meishu couldn't figure it out, it was Chen Mo who took the initiative to come to Tanxing, why did he retreat when he got to the door.
"Meishu, I drank a little too much at noon, and I forgot that I still have important things to do at home, I'm really embarrassed."
"What's wrong?"
Huamei wrote puzzles, and Chen Mo, who always felt that he was not telling the truth.
Cut......
Gao Yue snorted coldly beside him, "I don't think there is something, but I know that I am afraid, what did I do earlier?" ”
Chen Mo was too lazy to take care of Gao Yue, and apologized to Huameishu again.
"It's true, so I won't go in, and when I turned around, Hua Shibo asked, and I hope you can give an explanation."
"Okay, since you really have something important, I won't force it, go slowly." Huamei was somewhat disappointed.
"Lidong, let's go."
After Chen Mo finished speaking, he didn't make any more stops, and the carriage drove directly towards the city gate.
"Meishu, let's go in."
In Gao Yue's eyes, Chen Mo is the biggest rival in love, and now that he is gone, he naturally has to behave well.
"My business has nothing to do with you."
After Hua Meishu finished speaking, he walked straight into the charcoal store.
At this time, Chen Mo was asking Xu Lidong.
"Where do you sell pen and ink around here?"
"Sir, it's in the car, in the little drawer next to the seat." Xu Lidong said while catching the car.
"How can there be this thing in the car?" Chen Mo opened the small drawer and found the pen and ink he needed.
"It was Mrs. Wang who asked me to prepare, saying that Mr. first read poetry and books, and now that he has been promoted to teaching, he will definitely use these things often."
"Mrs. Wang has a heart."
The longer they get along, the more Chen Mo feels that Wang Po is reliable, and if he didn't do the business of lending and collecting deeds, he must have a good reputation.
"Is the gentleman going to write something, do you want to stop?" Xu Lidong asked.
"No, just walk normally. By the way, who's on duty at the city gate today? ”
"Mr. Hui, it's my brother on duty today."
"Let's go, go find him."
Writing in a moving carriage is definitely not good, but Chen Mo wants this effect, and the more ugly the words, the better.
When the carriage arrived at the city gate, Chen Mo also finished writing down the things he needed, handed them to Xu Lidong and gave instructions at the same time.
"Go to the mansion of Lord Zhixian to find Steward Hu and ask him to transfer this thing to Wang Zhixian, and then the crisis of Tanxing will be resolved. By the way, don't drive this carriage over, lest anyone else see it and cause other trouble. ”
"Yes sir, I'll go."
After Xu Lidong finished speaking, he handed over the carriage to the guards guarding the city, and hurriedly walked towards the city.
"Brother Chen Mo, what kind of wind is blowing today that blew you here?"
After the guards reported, Xu Liqiu laughed and walked out of the city tower.
"It's nothing, passing by here, Lidong said that you were on duty, so I came over to take a look." Chen Mo said with a smile.
"Come inside, please, I just have something to tell you."
Welcoming Chen Mo into the door, Xu Liqiu motioned for the others to go out and went straight to the point.
"I've already told Captain Yang about the delivery of supplies, and he means to find a time to meet."
"When?" Chen Mo was very satisfied with Xu Liqiu's efficiency.
"Look at you, we have slowed down the speed of requisitioning carriages and horses now, first, it is really difficult to do, and second, we are waiting for your news. I'll tell you the truth, Captain Yang is dying of sorrow now, if you can really solve this matter, it is definitely a great favor. ”
"Brother Qiu, I'm a little puzzled, how did I solve this kind of thing in the past?" Chen Mo never figured it out.
"Usually, I was really anxious, that is, to guard the city gate and forcibly requisition. But this year is different, the newly appointed magistrate is very tough, saying that if it is changed to wartime, he will spare no effort to support this matter. However, in peacetime, the people's livelihood must not be harmed. ”
"I see."
At the same time, Chen Mo also looked up to Wang Anshi a little bit in his heart, and he always pretended to be the people in his heart, but he was worthy of his official position.
"Brother Qiu, do you think this will work, call Captain Yang tomorrow night, let Lidong drive to my house, and talk in detail when the time comes."
"Why did you go to my brother's house?" Xu Liqiu has no doubt about the time, what he can't understand is the location.
"You'll know when the time comes." Chen Mo deliberately sold a pass.
The reason why the location was set at home was actually Chen Mo's calculation by borrowing strength.
If it is expected, after Xu Lidong sends the things to the county governor's mansion, the matter of Tanxing can be solved.
When things over there subside, trouble will come to you right away.
Cao Meng suffered two big losses, and he will definitely come to the door to find fault.
Wang Anshi said that the implementation of the new policy is very difficult, and it is essentially moving the interests of the aristocratic class.
Chen Mo asked himself, there is no problem with dealing with Wang Fuxing or Wang Quan, and Cao Meng, who is involved in the county government, can also settle down.
The problem is, now the county lieutenant's son has made a move.
In response, Chen Mo must also bring in one or two forces.
Wang Anshi was not good at helping directly on the face, so Chen Mo asked Xu Lidong to send something and exert his strength from the side.
Captain Yang is different, he is a member of the military, and he is not under the jurisdiction of the county lieutenant at all, so he will naturally be able to pull out of the fight when the time comes.
And this is also one of the reasons why Chen Mo insisted on delivering supplies.
At any time and with the military as a backer, it will be much easier for them to get things done.
Of course, once it gets into trouble, it will also be an extreme headache.
Having said that, if that kind of thing doesn't happen, who can say clearly, first solve the current problem.
When it comes to difficult problems, I have to say that Mrs. Wang, facing the aggressive Cao Meng at the moment, wants to scold her mother.
"Cao catches quickly, the old woman has explained many times, and this contract document is not counted. If you really want to find it, you should also go to Chen Mo. ”
"Lady Wang, are you still pretending to be stupid?" Cao Meng's patience has long been worn out, "Do you really not know about that little thing between you and Chen Mo?" On the surface, it seems that the charcoal line is yours, but in fact, it is Chen Mo who really calls the shots. ”
"Cao Zhukuai, what do you want to do?" Wang Po was also a little angry.
"It's simple, just accept this contract document." As he spoke, Cao Meng took out the fish bag that symbolized his identity, "This thing belongs to Prince Zhang, you should know very well who he is, and the twenty percent profit is cheap for you." ”
"What if it's not cheap?" At this time, Hua Meishu walked in, "Do you still want to swallow the charcoal?" ”
"Yo, the eldest lady of the Hua family is here?"
Cao Meng turned around and shook the fish bag with a sneer.
"Miss Hua is right, if Mrs. Wang still doesn't admit it, I can seal the charcoal line with this thing."
