Chapter 282: Sharpen each other
Mo Cong rode a horse and followed the escort team all the way out of Shuanglong Mountain, passed Wulong Town, gave Uncle Zhang and Da Niu three hundred taels of silver each, and told them to be well, and he would go back to see them when he had time.
"Child, you must be careful when you go to the battlefield, and you must go back to see it when you have time. Aunt Zhang wiped her tears and admonished.
"Wood, come, let my sister hug you again. The girl said and hugged Mo Cong, and tears rolled down her eyes.
The family reluctantly parted, Mo Cong told Long Wu to be sure to protect thoroughly, and then rode a horse and stood in place to watch everyone go away, before turning back to the Flying Dragon Camp.
That night, Mo Cong began to train three young men in the camp, the three young men were all clever young men, and their kung fu was also honed very hard, and Mo Cong was very satisfied with the first day of training, much better than when the girls first started. Of course, since the true qi of the thirteen maid rings was originally much higher than that of the young men, and now they have entered the seventh layer realm one after another, they are much more powerful than the young men in terms of skills, so relatively speaking, both sides have their own advantages.
"My eldest brother's training is really extraordinary, but you also know that there are some deficiencies in today's training, so you must keep up the good work. At the end of the day's training, Mo Cong praised the three boys and encouraged them to continue to work hard.
After the training, Mo Cong asked the boys to go back to the mountain, while he stayed in the camp to adjust the sentry positions and parade locations, parade frequencies and other arrangements. Mo Cong's training of the guys and the training of the recruits of the Flying Dragon Battalion were originally a pair of spears and shields, and the problems existing on both sides could be exposed at a glance through such training, so this kind of training for the training of the Flying Dragon Battalion is also a matter of not delaying and sharpening each other.
After sending off the guys and fine-tuning the recruits, Mo Cong returned to the camp tent to cover his eyes and ears for a while and went to the mountain where the maids were located. Xiao Yue was a little unhappy when she heard that Mo Cong had a concubine, and said Didn't you say that you couldn't marry a little wife at the beginning, why are you marrying it now?
"You still don't dislike me after talking about it for a long time?" she said, pouting.
"I find that you talk a lot every day. What about Xiaomei, is it because I dislike them?" Mo Cong said speechlessly.
For the next half a month, Mo Cong basically stayed in the Flying Dragon Battalion, training recruits, training Yahuan, and training young men. Although the girls and the boys are both practicing and training, they do not meet each other in order to keep secrets, and the training time is staggered. During this half a month, Mo Cong lived on the mountain every day, and his dinner was also eaten on the mountain every day, Moyu was a superb cook, and he made all kinds of delicious food for Mo Cong every day, which was not only nourishing and nutritious but also delicious, Mo Cong couldn't eat the food of the Feilong Camp after eating for a few days, and then it developed to eat on the mountain in the morning, noon and evening. Sometimes he would take Long Wu and other cronies to the mountain for a meal.
During this period, Xu Hu, Lei Bao and others also came to the Feilong Battalion to get together, and each brought a few recruit squadrons to engage in confrontation and running-in, Mo Cong discussed and pondered with the pipe bands of several battalions according to the problems found in the confrontation in training recruits, and asked them to make some targeted changes after they went back to improve the training effect, and see how the effect was in the next confrontation.
The training here has come to an end, and the time has reached the end of the new calendar of Ruiguo, Mo Cong Mo Min Mo Yu discussed and felt that he still had to go back for the holidays, so Mo Cong Mo Min rode a horse. The young men drove Moyu and the two maids in the car, and everyone went back to the capital together.
The New Year of the Ruiguo New Calendar is just a small festival, and it is not as valued as the New Year of the Old Calendar, but every festival in Mofu is still quite festive. Under the operation of Steward Mo, it is still very festive. When Mo Cong and the others arrived home, they were all very happy to see a festive atmosphere. That night, Mo Cong, Mo Min, and Mo Yu had dinner and chatted for a while, and Mo Xiao came back with the two maids who took care of the business of Shangpinxiang Restaurant. Mo Yu asked about the situation of the restaurant, and was relieved to hear that all aspects of business were relatively normal.
"Miss, this is not our invitation. The business of our restaurant has been very hot since the wedding of Mofu, and it is even more popular after you marry General Mo, anyway, it is even better than before. The two maids who take care of the restaurant business reported the situation and said.
"That's good, I was relieved to have the two of you take care of it, but now I feel more at ease. Mo Yu nodded.
"But this time we want to go with Miss, and the business of the restaurant will be taken care of by Sister Mei and Sister Zhu. A girl said.
"All right, then you can teach them now. Moyu said.
"By the way, Sister Mo, how much money have you made after opening a restaurant for so many years?" Mo Cong asked curiously.
"What, do you still care about my little money?" Mo Yu said with a smile, "Actually, I didn't make much, because the restaurant and the courtyard cost more than a thousand taels of silver at the beginning, and the restaurant usually has various expenses for buying raw and cooked food, plus the taxes collected by the government and the protection fee collected by the Qinglong Gang, there is actually not much left every month." If you hadn't helped get the Blue Dragon Gang's money back and asked for twice as much, the restaurant's business would have really lost a lot. ”
"How much is that, you have to have a number. Mo Cong asked.
"I only have more than nine thousand taels of silver in my hand, you can calculate it yourself, except for the capital and the money you recovered, is it not making any money?" Mo Yu said.
"I've earned more than 1,000 taels of silver in more than three years, which is already very powerful. Mo Cong said.
"That's not as powerful as being an official, three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. Mo Yu said with a smile.
"Since you have this talent, you can watch the transfer of the money in the house, and you can open some more transactions, anyway, it is up to you to arrange. Mo Cong said, "There are now more than 2.7 million taels of silver in the house, and there are nearly 6,000 taels of gold, leaving an integer of 2 million taels for emergencies, and some odd for daily expenses, 700,000 taels of silver, you can move it casually to see what kind of business you do." ”
"Do we have so much silver in our house?" Mo Yu was shocked.
"It's a shame to say that about 200,000 taels of silver are gifts from the imperial court, and the rest are congratulatory gifts received from two marriages. Mo Cong said.
"Yes, how many congratulatory gifts did I receive for my marriage?" Moyu asked.
"More than eight thousand taels. Mo Cong said.
"Then if you get married once, I will run a restaurant for more than 20 years, can't you just get married a few more times, and what kind of business do you have?" Mo Yu said.
"Is there a man like you who encourages his man to get married more?" Mo Cong was speechless.
"I mean, since there is already so much silver in the house, there is no need to open any more business, otherwise it will have a bad impact if it spreads, and it will be very troublesome for the façade and personnel to do business and other things. I have been a shopkeeper for half a month, I feel very good, let me take 700,000 taels of silver to do all kinds of business, I really don't want to toss so much, it is better to accompany you on the mountain or accompany the little sister to talk. Moyu said.
"Okay, then it's up to you, you really should enjoy life after so many years. Mo Cong nodded.
The two chatted for a while, and Mo Cong went back to the main room and called Mo Min to the east courtyard to bump his head with Mo Xiao and talk about the training and practice of the young men.
"If we continue at this pace, we may be able to start doing it before the end of the year. Mo Xiao listened to the situation and said.
"The operation of espionage should be able to start before the year, but the real operation may have to be postponed until the end of the year, if there is a fight on the side of the Djinn Pass. The only thing here can only be arranged by you and the third sister. Mo Cong said.
"Didn't Yan Tao say that he wouldn't fight?" Mo Xiao asked.
"It's better not to fight, but the things of war have always been false and real, who can say clearly. Mo Cong said.
The three brothers and sisters touched the situation, and Mo Cong and Mo Min went back to rest. After Mo Cong's unremitting double cultivation, Mo Min's transformation body is almost complete, but there is always a small tail left to break through. Mo Cong asked her not to be too anxious, and tempered the meridians as strong as possible for a period of time, otherwise even if she reached the realm of Jiedan, the meridians would not be able to withstand the backlash of the huge amount of true qi during the fierce fight.
"You pound my meridians so strongly every day. Isn't it intense enough?" asked Mo Min.
"The two forces are different, one is channeling and the other is colliding, and there is no comparison. Mo Cong said and continued to work hard and double cultivate.
At the end of the night, it's already New Year. That morning, the breakfast in Mofu was very rich, everyone ate together, and Mo Xiao went to Shangpinxiang Restaurant. Mo Cong went out for a walk, and flashed to Yan Tao's mansion.
The two haven't seen each other for a long time, and they each have a lot of things to say, and Yan Tao's birds have all been trained. The code words have all been figured out, but there is a blank information about where Zhao Rong's forces and minions stored the silver, after all, this kind of absolutely private matter is difficult to detect, and can only be inferred through some clues. But Yan Tao has always been good at reasoning, so although there is no intelligence, it still gives Mo Cong a lot of clues, and then it is up to Mo Cong to send operatives to follow these clues to finalize it to see if it is accurate, and to see if there are other places to store silver.
"Are those people in Shuanglong Mountain all right?" After talking about the situation here, Yan Tao began to ask Mo Cong about the situation over there.
"It's all ok, but it's a little inconvenient to get in and out when it's snowing. Mo Cong said.
"Why didn't they just withdraw, what's the point of staying there?" Yan Tao asked.
"Although they are soldiers abandoned by the Swiss country, they are still soldiers, and there is their mountain, so they have to hold on. Mo Cong said.
"Speaking of which, it's really a thing, how are you going to settle them after you are ready to cooperate?" Yan Tao asked.
"I suggested that they do business, and they said they liked to be horse thieves. Mo Cong said, "Speaking of which... There are so many survivors in the right guard, and it is impossible for the central guard and the avant-garde to all die, where are the more than 200,000 people now?" Mo Cong felt that it was impossible for the old man to go down the mountain and only save the people of the right guard, and ignore the avant-garde and mid-guard, so he should have found a place to properly settle them, if he could understand the old man's resettlement method, the right guard would also be resettled.
"I don't really know where they are, I don't have any clues about it, but like you, I don't think they're dead. Yan Tao said.
"They didn't die, and neither did the people of the right guard, so how could they dig up so many corpses of the Central Army at that time?" asked Mo Cong.
"I also think it's amazing, but I've seen those corpses, and they are really corpses and not some tricks, and the key is that there is no feedback of lost corpses anywhere in the country. Yan Tao said.
The more the two talked, the more incredible they felt, and the more they talked, the more they couldn't figure it out, so they simply skipped the topic and discussed whether the Qilong Kingdom would call. (To be continued......)
