Early July.

Qing Wu returned to Longmen County and told Ning Yun about the investigation.

When the first Fuze hot pot restaurant opened, the income on the first day was 5,320 taels.

Therefore, Luo Qin's three hundred taels of greedy ink are not much at a glance.

But don't forget, ordinary people can earn one or two a month, which is a high income.

Three hundred taels, ordinary people have earned nearly thirty years, almost a lifetime.

And Luo Qin, who has only been the shopkeeper for two months, is greedy for three hundred taels, if it is two years, then it will be repaid.

If it was thirty taels, Ning Wan might be able to endure it, but such a large amount had to be reported.

Chen Mo is not in Longmen County at the moment, he stayed in Longmen County for a few days, and then went to Jiaping County to investigate, and several weapon workshops built in Jiaping County, as well as the Divine Arm Crossbow Workshop, are the places he focuses on.

Because these things can improve the strength of the army under his command as a whole, there is no room for mistakes.

If anyone dares to cheat with him on this and be greedy for money for weapons, then the Tang Dao in his hand will definitely not show any mercy.

After going to Jiaping County for inspection, Chen Mo went to Jun County again.

Last time, after Ling Li was instructed by Chen Mo, according to Chen Mo's method, the county school opened in Jun County was well run.

Ling Li can be admitted to the lifting person, but there is still something in his head.

During this period, many counties in Yuzhou were cutting down trees on a large scale and transporting them to Linzhou.

Junxian is one of them.

He organized the people to go up the mountain to cut down, and after transporting them down the mountain, he let the people earn the felling money allocated by Chen Mo to the counties, and repaired the roads for the people of Junxian County to improve the people's livelihood on the grounds that they needed to widen the roads by transporting trees to Linzhou.

And because of the felling of trees, a vacant land was cut down on the mountain, and Ling Li personally led the officials below to lead the people to transform this vacant land into more than 200 hectares of farmland.

However, the farmland obtained by cutting down the forest is not called farmland at all, but there are still many tree roots left underground, and such "farmland" will not yield at all if it is not transformed in a few years.

However, since ancient times, many farmlands have come from this way.

Ling Li obviously knew this, as it was a point he used to attract the people to move to Junxian.

The transformed farmland will be given free of charge to the people who participated in the transformation.

After inspecting Jun County, Chen Mo was actually a little tired, but he had arrived in Jun County, so he simply went to the next county to take a look.

There's no way, there is really a lack of competent civil servants around him, this kind of general-born soldier, but even if he has been recruiting talents for so long, there are still so few people who have taken refuge in him.

He wanted to transfer Geng Songfu to Yuzhou to take up a post, and let the other party manage the two county towns of Pingting and Qingting, which was too condescending.

In terms of the new army, Chen Mo planned to recruit 20,000 soldiers and horses at that time, and the existing men and horses were combined to 50,000 horses.

At the beginning, there were few people who came to join the army, but in the ninth year of Xuanhe, it began to multiply.

The initial 20,000 horses had already been reached, and now they even exceeded 10,000.

Super is super, but Chen Mo did not remove these superpowers, trade with Huaizhou, the hot sale of honeycomb coal, the popularity of hot pot, plus the tax revenue of the three states, so that the finance can still be supported.

According to Chen Mo's previous regulations, recruits are all included in the trap guard, and only those who pass the training are eligible to enter the Divine Warrior Guard or Divine Martial Guard.

Among them, the best can enter Chen Mo's pro-military camp.

After all, the pro-military camp also needs fresh blood injection.

Chen Mo had come out with all his thoughts, so he simply went out to inspect a few more counties, but at this moment, Sun Meng came over and whispered a few words in his ear.

Chen Mo's face changed slightly, he stopped his inspection, and quickly returned to Longmen County.

The yamen of Longmen County has moved out and changed to the west of the city, and the action is very fast.

Something happened to the Celestial Division.

At the beginning of June, the Tianshi army attacked Huaizhou in an all-round way, but he never thought that the successive defeats and retreats of the Huai army before were just a trick by King Huai.

As soon as he went deep into Huaizhou, he was ambushed by the Huai army, and the two generous commanders in the Tianshi army were bought by the Huai king, and they openly rebelled during the battle, which led to a great chaos in the army, and Wan Zhen, the number one general under Luo Guang, was killed in battle.

In addition to Wan Zhen's death, this ambush also caused three Dafang and four Xiaofang Qu Marshals in the Heavenly Master Army to be killed, and one Dafang Qu Marshal and two Xiao Fang Qu Marshal were captured.

When he retreated to Qinxian County, he was ambushed by the sailors sent by King Huai in advance to attack Qinxian by water, and the Tianshi army suffered heavy losses.

After that, the king of Huai sent a water division to cross the Huai River from Qingzhou, blocking the north bank of Fengzhou, if the Tianshi army wanted to cross the river and return to Qingzhou, it had to pass through here.

In other words, the current Tianshi Army was completely besieged in Fengzhou by the Huai Army and became a turtle in the urn.

It was at this time that Chen Mo received two urgent letters.

One was sent by the Heavenly Master Army, written by Luo Guang himself, begging him to send troops to help.

Now the sailor of King Huai stopped on the river between Fengzhou and Qingzhou.

One letter is naturally from King Huai.

The letter first explained that the sailors on the river were not going to Qingzhou, and also mentioned a non-aggression treaty, saying that if there was a treaty, the sailors' warships would not even touch the shore of Qingzhou.

In addition, let Chen Mo not interfere in the affairs of the Heavenly Master Army, after the matter is completed, there will be a heavy reward.

Through these two urgent letters, as well as the news received from the front, Chen Mo knew that the Heavenly Master Army, which had swept the northern land in the past and was imposing, was now at the end of its rope.

Chen Mo sent someone to immediately tell Geng Songfu and Zuo Lianglun and ask what they thought.

After all, for this kind of big event, Chen Mo would definitely have to ask for the opinions of others.

It seems that it is unlikely that Geng Songfu will be transferred to Yuzhou to take up a post.

But in his heart, he would not come to the rescue of the Heavenly Master Army.

Because of the assistance, it is equivalent to helping the Heavenly Master Army to retreat to Qingzhou.

The only way for the Heavenly Division Army to retreat is Qingzhou.

And Qingzhou is its own territory, and with most of its troops now in Lin and Yu Prefectures, if the Heavenly Master Army retreats to Qingzhou, it will undoubtedly lead the wolf into the room.

The reputation of the Heavenly Master Army is not good.

However, before the final decision, in order to be precautionary, Chen Mo ordered Sun Meng and Wen Heng to lead 5,000 Shenyong Guards, 5,000 Shenwu Guards, and 3,000 Trap Guards, a total of 13,000 men and horses, to return to Qingzhou to garrison.

As soon as he finished dealing with the matter at hand, Linzhou's letter came again, it was Zuo Lianglun's letter, and Chen Mo was still reading him just now.

The letter said that the eldest son of the Wu family in Jiangdong wanted to see him and had important matters to discuss.

After reading it, Chen Mo was concentrating, and Ning Wan came again.

The woman seemed to have just bathed, changed into a pale yellow dress, combed a gorgeous and graceful cloud bun, and the pearls shone brightly.

I have never given birth to a child, but my body is plump, my skin is like a snowflake, white and red, like the jade face of a large peony flower plate, under the curved willow eyebrows, there are ripples in my eyes.

She came to Chen Mo and bowed: "Master Hou, I have something important to discuss with you." ”
