Chapter 45 Meritorious
"The credit you have made this time, I won't count it for you first, and when you are admitted to Xiucai, I will take some connections to calculate it for you." Sun Shouren was holding a volume of merit records in his hand and was accounting them one by one.
Military merit accounting is extremely careful, and each head must have an accurate provenance.
This is just to suppress bandits, if it is wartime, there will be a team of warlords to calculate military merits together.
"Listen to your father." Chen Mo has no opinion on this.
He now has no meritorious status, and the merits he has made can at most allow him to receive some silver and be promoted to one or two official positions, and it is impossible to get a high-grade official position.
Rather than this, it is better to store these merits for the time being, and wait for him to get the fame before making plans.
"These remaining bandits are all brought and guarded carefully, and they must not be allowed to die. Du Tiandao mobilized so many young people, he definitely wanted to rebel, and I will ask Your Majesty to investigate this matter thoroughly when I go back. ”
Sun Shouren's tone was stern, a Dao sect force that had never been heard of before could mobilize hundreds of young men with swords in their hands without making a sound.
Even if Du Tiandaomen said that he didn't want to rebel, I'm afraid few people would believe it.
For the sake of the public, as a party guarding the imperial court, of course this matter should be managed.
For selfishness, the people of the Heavenly Dao Gate killed his son and nephew, and this revenge must be avenged.
Otherwise, he would not have an explanation for himself, his clan, or his own soldiers.
"The fifth brother will return to his hometown with the fourth brother's corpse first, and he will come back after a while. If there were other unexpected delays, he would go directly to Fucheng to take the exam, and he would not return to the barracks first. ”
Chen Mo spoke in a low voice, telling Mo Hu what he had explained before leaving.
Sun Shouren didn't say much, and a rare trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
When he first accepted these righteous sons, he really considered them for his own interests, expecting them to fight with him.
But people are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless, even if an object has been with them for a long time, there will be emotions, let alone a living person.
Mo Dao died, he was inevitably sad, but as a general, he couldn't easily express these emotions.
"That purple-clothed Taoist dares to intercept and kill the officials of the imperial court, I have already sent a letter to the Heavenly Division, and there will be a strong person in the imperial court to investigate this matter thoroughly." Sun Shouren continued to speak.
Du Tiandao cultivated young and strong and robbed and killed court officials with purple-clothed Dao people, this can actually be counted as one thing, both are rebellions.
No matter whether these two things are dealt with together or not, the purple-clothed Taoist will inevitably die.
Chen Mo nodded lightly, the matter has reached this point, it is no longer his turn to take care of it, and there will be the rest of the court powerhouses to solve it.
When the whole matter was almost thoroughly investigated, and the imperial court was really ready to make a move against the Dutian Daomen, he would have the opportunity to participate in it.
With the head and a few living bandits, Chen Mo and his party returned to the barracks one after another.
In the next few days, Chen Mo was busy all day, Mo Dao died, and Mo Hu was gone.
Many of the affairs that originally belonged to Mo Dao are now all pressed to Chen Mo, but fortunately, they are not too complicated, and they are nothing more than the military camp patrolling.
It only takes two or three days to set the rules and regulations, and they can basically be implemented in a safe manner.
After that, he only had to find time to patrol once a day, so that he would have an easier time every day than before.
He devoted more time to martial arts practice, and the progress of the Greedy Wolf Seven Killing Fist was gratifying, and at this pace, the breakthrough was a matter of the recent period.
After a few more days, it was finally his turn to rest and arrange the defense of the camp, and Chen Mo had time to go to Xiaopao Town.
This is a busy traffic, and the crowd is rubbing shoulders, and it is still as lively as ever.
Zhao Yu's food stall is next to a bluestone road in the town, she asked someone to make a wooden cart, tables, chairs, benches, stoves, raw materials are all organized on the car, and the cart comes here every day to set up a stall.
Because of the curfew, the food stalls are only open for business in the morning and at noon, and when the time comes, they will no longer welcome customers and are ready to close.
Only high-end taverns and inns will do business at night.
"Ah, you're back!" Zhao Yu was originally busy working in front of the stall, and when he saw Chen Mo coming, he looked a little surprised, but he was also happy.
She was finally able to eat enough during this time, unlike before, when she was hungry and cold, her face was ruddy, and her body gradually plumped.
With the flesh on his body, his original facial features have gradually been propped up, and he is no longer as skinny as before.
Although he still has a lot of work every day, he can do his own business, which is completely different from when he was sold into slavery before.
There is more hope in my heart, and the whole person's demeanor is very different from the past.
In all fairness, Zhao Yu is not ugly, but she is not a beauty who has captivated the country and the city, she can only be said to be gentle and lovely in her small family.
"You sit down first, and I'll get you something to eat." With a smile on her face, she hurriedly asked Chen Mo to sit down.
He also removed the coarse cloth banner hanging from the bamboo poles of the cart, indicating that the food stall would no longer welcome customers from now on.
"What's the matter, Sister Zhao, the man won't do business when he comes back!" A female stall owner who was quite familiar with Zhao Yu laughed when she saw this.
Zhao Yu smiled lightly, didn't explain much, and quickly served Chen Mo two dishes first, and then served him a plate of pickled chili peppers and a plate of twelve hot steamed buns.
"I didn't prepare any good dishes in the morning, you deal with it first and eat it, I'll close the stall and go home, and go cut meat and buy elbows for you."
Zhao Yu leaned over to Chen Mo and spoke in a low voice.
Her food stalls are mainly for traders and hawkers, or handlebar-style trucks that transport goods for people.
Most of these people have no money in their hands, and they are reluctant to eat too much meat, unless it is decided in advance, otherwise she will not prepare too much meat at a small food stall like her, especially now that the weather is warmer, if they can't sell it, it will be bad if they don't let it go for two days.
"Okay." Chen Mo bowed slightly, almost one by one, he quickly swept away the steamed buns on the table, and helped Zhao Yu to close the stall together.
But in a moment, all the miscellaneous items were neatly put together and loaded on top of each other on top of each other.
"I'll do it." Chen Mo spoke softly, pushed the cart and walked towards the hut.
The cart was very light to him, but in a moment he pushed a cart back to the hut.
"You take a break at home and drink tea, and I'll go buy meat."
Zhao Yu opened the door of the house, first made a pot of tea for Chen Mo, and then went to his house to get some silver, and left in a hurry.
If she goes to the meat stall late, she may not be able to buy good meat.
Chen Mo took a sip of tea and looked at the scene in the courtyard, there was a lot of difference from the last time he came.
Zhao Yu not only kept the entire courtyard in good order, but also kept it clean and tidy.
Two new clotheslines were tied to the outside of the courtyard walls, but they weren't very sturdy because she had too little strength.
The wooden pillars tied to the ropes were just loosely inserted into the ground.
Chen Mo immediately took a shovel and dug the pit again, burying a few wooden pillars deeper, and the ropes on the pillars were tightened again, so that they would not be too loose as before.
After he finished doing this, Zhao Yu also carried the meat he bought and walked into the kitchen in a hurry.
