September 20th.

The envoy sent by King Huai arrived in Linzhou and wanted to see Chen Mo, but it happened that Zuo Lianglun had almost put Linzhou in order.

Sun Meng left the two thousand Shenwuwei he carried in Xiangfen to help Zuo Lianglun deal with the aftermath, and he led the remaining Shenyongwei to Yuzhou with the treasures handed over by the Linzhou family and the envoys of King Huai.

October 1.

Under the leadership of Sun Meng, the envoys of King Huai arrived in Longmen County.

Sun Meng first settled the envoy of King Huai, and then went to the Yamen to spread the word.

Chen Mo was not in the yamen, but in the fields outside the city.

Although Yuzhou is mountainous, Longmen County is located in the hinterland of Yuzhou, there are relatively few mountains, and the open places outside the city have long been reclaimed for farming, and after hundreds of thousands of years of development, this is all fertile land.

Chen Mo sat under a tree with a crooked neck, holding a branch and writing back and forth.

In October, the summer grain is about to be harvested.

After occupying Yuzhou, unlike in Pingting County and Qingting County, Chen Mo has never said that he wants to be exempt from tax or anything, and he has not started to collect taxes yet.

He just wanted to see the harvest of the local people and see how the taxes were collected.

He won't accept it this year, and there are still more than two months, and the year will pass.

At this time, he had to hurry up and work out the amount of taxation.

The terrain of Yuzhou is complex, and the harvest of each county is different, so it must be harvested according to the actual situation.

According to Chen Mo's plan, he planned to build two large granaries in the north and south of Linzhou, and each granary could store more than 500,000 stones.

When the granaries are full, they begin to be sealed and not used for external use.

In the future, if the situation in the world changes, whether it is to enter Huaizhou or retreat to Jiangdong, grain can be transferred from these granaries built, instead of temporarily going to requisition, which can save a lot of time.

After that, Chen Mo erased the word granary and wrote the word "county school" on the soft mud floor.

The team he cultivated in Pingting County, especially the scribes he cultivated, came in handy after he took Yuzhou.

But this manpower is obviously not enough, more than ten days after the recruitment order was issued, but there are very few people who have come to defect, and the result is too different from what he imagined.

He could only establish a county school in Yuzhou and cultivate it himself.

And the reason why the recruitment order has been issued for more than ten days, but there are very few people who come to take refuge, Chen Mo also understands the reason.

It is true that the strength of the strength is one thing.

Another aspect is origin.

The Chen family counts upwards, more than ten generations, all of them are poor peasants, and there has never been a big official in the family, and he has no fame, just a child.

For talented people, they are all somewhat comparable and care about face.

For example, two people are talented and friends with each other.

My friend took refuge in King Huai, and he is the male lord of the world, and his prospects are great.

And he took refuge in a hairy boy who has not dried up, which will make his friends laugh when he says it.

Another example is that they all graduated from a school, one entered a large factory, and the other went to the factory to make screws.

Speaking of which, at least in the eyes of outsiders, those who work in large factories must be more decent than those who make screws in factories.

And Chen Mo is now equivalent to opening a small factory by himself, and his salary may not be lower than that of a large factory, but his reputation and status in the industry are not as loud as those of a large factory.

The most important thing is that the probability of a large factory going public is greater.

The small factory may go bankrupt at any point.

And Chen Mo, who is the boss, also has the "case record" of the anti-thief.

If you want to change this, the most direct way is to please a good wife, so that you can get the political resources, human and financial resources on the wife's side.

Of course, Xia Zhining and Liang Xue can't do this kind of forcible harvest, they have to be like Yi Shiyan, and the Yi family fully supports him.

It's just that the Yi family is a small scholar clan, and it doesn't help him much now.

Chen Mo wants to marry a woman from that kind of big family.

Otherwise, his position as a wife would not have been vacant.

However, if he takes the initiative to ask for this kind of thing, first, it is too cheap, and second, the other party may be kicked out if he doesn't like it, and if it happens, it will be lower in the future.

The other party took the initiative to find him.

Just then, a fast horse galloped in.

Because this side is all fields, the rice that the soldiers on the horse did not dare to trample on, so they restrained the war horse on the path, turned over and dismounted, and quickly came to Chen Mo along the ridge of the field, and said: "Hou Ye, the envoy of King Huai came from Linzhou, and it was brought over by General Sun, saying that there is something important to discuss with Hou Ye." ”

"The messenger of the King of Huai?" Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, wiped the words on the soil, and got up, he hadn't dealt with King Huai, why did the other party look for him?

Could it be that he released the news of Ning Wan's release, and after the other party learned about it, he came to take care of his own people?

After thinking about it carefully, Chen Mo said: "You tell Captain Sun that I am training in the school field, and let him bring people directly." ”

"No."

Sun Meng held the horizontal knife at his waist and walked slowly, and said softly: "Our Hou Ye is practicing in the school field, you can just go directly with me." ”

Fifth, Fusheng smiled and nodded.

After King Huai agreed to his proposal, in order to promote the signing of the treaty, but also to understand the situation in Yuzhou, and the fifth floating life also wanted to meet Chen Mo, so he came over in person.

Sun Meng glanced at the fifth floating sheng and said, "It is said that King Huai has a lot of talents, why do you send one of you over as an envoy now?" ”

"I came here with good intentions, and if I come alone, I can also express the sincerity of our prince to the Fuze Pavilion Marquis." The fifth floater smiled.

Sun Meng saw that his expression was light and light, and the other party's face was very calm and not flustered at all, just like a literati and ink artist who traveled in the mountains and rivers.

A Confucian scholar had such courage, which surprised Sun Meng.

"Here we are."

After walking for a while, Sun Meng pointed to the school field not far away and said.

The fifth floating student nodded, followed behind Sun Meng, and entered the school field.

But soon, the Fifth Floating Being's eyes widened a little.

I saw that on the vast school field, the bright flags were waving in the autumn wind, and the golden and black armor sergeants who could not see the end at a glance, and the horizontal knives hanging from their waists were neatly arranged in it, stretching to the end of the field of vision, so that the autumn wind of Xiao Se was a little slaughtering.

The solemn military might is like a turbulent torrent condensed on the school field, and it will tilt out at the slightest breeze, destroying everything that stands in front of it, but it does not move at all, making the heavens and the earth become depressed, and people even breathe subconsciously stagnate.

"It's really not ordinary." The thought came to the mind of the fifth.

He had seen the Heavenly Master Army, but there was a world of difference between this army and the Heavenly Master Army in front of him.

The fifth floating eyes could not hide his astonishment, aren't they the men and horses under the command of the Heavenly Master Army, how can they be compared to the prince's Long Ce Army.

Seeing that the fifth floating life finally lost his mind, Sun Meng straightened up and said, "Wait a minute, messenger." ”

So he went to ask for instructions.

During this period, the fifth floating sheng looked carefully, this kind of gold and red armor, he had never seen it, he only felt that it was so powerful, especially the excellent equipment, horizontal swords, round shields, crossbows, and spears, which should be the thief army.

Soon, his pupils shrank, and he spotted the Divine Arm Crossbow.

For the god arm crossbow, this kind of big killing weapon, the fifth floating life naturally has an understanding, this kind of weapon, is the Liang family's research, never passed on, even if the fifth family and the Liang family have some friendship, the fifth floating life has never been able to get started.

"Da-da."

Jia Ye's voice sounded, Sun Meng walked over, and said: "Messenger, Hou Ye knows that the envoy of King Huai is coming, so he deliberately set aside some time, he is waiting in the military tent, please here." ”

The fifth floating life retracted his gaze with some reluctance and walked towards the military tent.

In the military tent, Chen Mo sat at the top, Cui Shuang and Zhang He were on the left and right, and when they saw Sun Meng coming in, the eyes of the three of them looked towards the people behind him.

"Six products"

Chen Mo first noticed the red number "245" on the other party's head.

Then look at his face and dress.

The first impression is very important, and at the same time, grooming and demeanor are also important criteria for selecting officials.

Both men and women have a good look, which is more pleasing to the eye.

The person who came looked like he was twenty-six or seven, dressed in green clothes, and when he looked at the material, he knew that this dress was not something ordinary people could afford to wear, with a handsome face and a wine gourd hanging from his waist.

"In the Xiahuai Wangfu, the fifth floating life, I have seen the Fuze Pavilion Marquis." The fifth floating sheng bowed to Chen Mo, which was a standard etiquette, and there was no mistake, which showed that his background was not low.

Fifth, Fusheng also knew that the envoy had a good appearance, and he didn't drink in advance.

"Fifth?" Chen Mo raised his eyebrows, and Cui Shuang below asked in surprise: "Who are you the fifth filial piety?" ”

"It's the next ancestor." When the Fifth Fusheng said this, a trace of arrogance appeared on his face.

This is the glory of the ancestors, and the descendants are naturally proud of it.

Cui Shuang took a slight breath.

Although Zhang He can read and write, he doesn't read much, and he doesn't know who the fifth filial piety is, but in order not to be embarrassed, he also learns the same.

Fifth, this surname is very rare, and it is also very noble, like Cui Shuang, Chen Mo also thinks of the fifth filial piety.

At this moment, hearing that the fifth filial piety was the ancestor of this person, Chen Mo's eyes condensed slightly: "Huai Wang Pyer sent Benhou, what is the matter?" ”

"My prince has heard of the name of the Hou Ye, the Hou Ye is twenty-nine years old, and he has made such a great cause, which makes the prince very admired, if it is not for the prince who can't leave, then I am afraid that he will come over in person......" The fifth floating life did not enter the main topic, but talked about the scene.

"King Huai is polite." Chen Mo said with a smile: "But Ben Hou and King Huai don't know each other, and it can even be said that there is still a crime, and a few days ago, King Huai was angrily reprimanded. The envoy came over this time, shouldn't King Huai ask you to come over and ask Benhou for an explanation. ”

"No, the prince knows that the Hou Ye has misunderstood him, and this time he is here to resolve the misunderstanding."

"By the way?"

Fifth Fusheng took out a scroll from his arms and said, "After King Huai learned that Hou Ye had recovered Linzhou, he was willing to form a friendly neighbor with Hou Ye and not invade each other. ”
