Chen Mo looked at the letter of appointment in his hand, which was personally issued by his father-in-law, Sun Shouren, and appointed himself as the salt envoy of Zhuniu Jidu.

is an official position of the ninth grade, and there are 500 soldiers under him.

Of course, there are 500 people written, and it's hard to say how many there are, but you have to wait for yourself to see the real situation.

I have to say that this official position is an absolute fat difference, although it is only the ninth grade, but in terms of rights and benefits, I am afraid that many eight-grade official positions cannot be compared.

The Salt Transport Envoy of the Prefecture was responsible for escorting the salt mined by the imperial court, as well as controlling the outflow of illicit salt and cracking down on smuggled salt dealers.

Salt has always been controlled by the imperial court, and anyone who wants to sell salt to mine salt must have a salt guide issued by the imperial court.

Those who sell smuggled salt without permission will be exiled for 3,000 li by 50 large plates, while those who smuggle salt mines will be the mastermind to be executed, and the rest will be confiscated.

However, even so, the illegal salt business has been repeatedly banned because the profits are too large.

The cost of mining a pound of salt is only 15 Wen, and if you take it out and sell it, you can sell it for at least 100 Wen, and you will not worry about sales, because a pound of official salt will cost 130 Wen.

It is illegal to sell illicit salt, but it is not illegal to buy illicit salt, because no smuggler will say that the origin of his salt is unknown, and there is no way to investigate such things.

When Chen Mo sat in this position, he could not only eat the empty salaries of his soldiers, but also eat part of the profits from the sale of illicit salt.

The reason is simple, although the smugglers may have had something to do with other court officials.

But the county officials are not as good as the current management, even if Chen Mo can't send them to prison, a little effort can make these smugglers unable to sell salt safely.

What's more, he also has a background behind him, and he sits in this position, and the connections of those smugglers can't replace him.

In this case, as long as those salt dealers are smart, they will first send Chen Mo enough silver tickets to make him turn a blind eye.

After reading the letter of appointment, Chen Mo looked at his Xiucai document again, which was equivalent to a road guide to the entire Daqian.

With it, no matter where you go, you don't break the law.

If it is an ordinary person, it is a crime to leave his place of origin for hundreds of miles without a guide.

Therefore, the vast majority of people have hardly had the opportunity to leave the county where they live throughout their lives, and some have not even left the township where they live.

After putting away the appointment letter and the papers, Chen Mo got up and went to find his father-in-law.

These things were sent by my father-in-law's own soldiers, and I told them to meet him after they got them.

Walking all the way to the study, Xu Dabao and Sun Li obviously also received the letter of appointment, and they are now here.

"The two of you will work hard when you take office, and you should not slack off in your cultivation, but you must also learn to manage your subordinates well." Seeing Chen Mo coming, Sun Shouren finally explained to the two of them, and waved them away, obviously having some private words to say to Chen Mo.

Judging from his previous performance, he understood that Chen Mo, the righteous son, was much more reliable than his nephew and nephew.

And he has his own father-in-law in his heart, which is very good, and even his own nephew may not be able to do it.

So there are many things that he is willing to hand over to Chen Mo to do now.

"The official position of the Dusi salt transportation envoy is not high, but it is extremely important, and he can investigate the sale and mining of illegal salt.

But above you, there is also the chief envoy of the salt transportation of the capital division, and the director of the salt transportation division, and the director Liu Mingqiao is a distant relative of our Dingzhou Zhoucheng.

But he hasn't visited me since I took office. Speaking of this, Sun Shouren's tone sank.

The profit from selling illicit salt is quite high, and the most important thing is that it is stable, and it stands to reason that he, as the guard of Xingyuan Mansion, should have a share of profits.

But since he took office, the head of the Salt Transportation Division has not come to visit him, and it seems that he has not taken himself seriously!

"Then dare to ask the father-in-law, what should the child have done in the past?" Chen Mo asked in a low voice.

"You have taken office safely this time, and the scope of your jurisdiction, if there is a private salt dealer who sends you money, you can accept it with confidence, and you don't care about anything else.

If Liu Mingqiao was smart, he would naturally come to me. If he's not smart, he'll be waiting for my news. ”

Sun Shouren spoke slowly, since he was dealing with Chen Mo, there was no need to say so many words.

He is not an outsider, so instead of letting him guess, it is better to explain it to him directly and let him know what to do.

He didn't send Chen Mo over to let him do anything, just to give Liu Mingqiao a reminder.

If the other party is smart, then he will naturally come to the door to apologize, and he will not pursue the matter again at that time.

Zhou Cheng is also a five-grade official like himself, and Sun Shouren doesn't want to make enemies with the other party at will.

Of course, if Liu Mingqiao or the state behind it don't want to give face, he has to find a way to rectify the other party.

At that time, it doesn't matter if you offend Zhou Cheng, since the other party is not afraid of offending yourself, then why should you worry about offending the other party.

As a town guard, Zhou Cheng is certainly an assistant to the governor of the state in political affairs, but he can't control him, the head of the town guard who is directly appointed and dismissed by the imperial court.

"The child understands." Chen Mo surrendered his hands and obeyed his orders.

His stepfather said it so clearly, even if he was stupid, he could figure it out.

Anyway, I will be able to take office there safely, and everything depends on the next arrangements on my father-in-law's side.

"Okay, go back and pack up, and leave for office in three days, I wish the Niuzhen military camp is more than 300 miles away from us, and the road is not easy to walk.

In addition, the horse in the camp that you often ride, don't forget to take it away when you turn around. Sun Shouren carefully admonished.

Chen Mo bowed his hand and slowly retreated, he didn't ask his father-in-law for help.

If he was ready to fight immediately, then of course he would have to leave with a few of his own soldiers, so that with a few elite soldiers, he would be able to command his subordinates better.

However, there was no war in Xingyuan Mansion, and even if he took a few people away, he would be useless.

Because he really had to go to the border pass to fight at that time, his soldiers were also recruited from the border pass, and it was impossible for the Xingyuan Mansion Xiang Army to go to the border pass with him.

In this case, it is completely unnecessary to find a few pro-soldiers to train and restrain the recruits under him, because when you reach the border pass, you still have to start all over again.

On the contrary, if you really want a few people to go, the few pro-soldiers will eat, drink, and Lazar's daily training will cost Xiangyin, etc., and you have to pay for it yourself.

With this money, it is better to keep it for two meals of meat and buy a few packets of soup and medicine to drink.

As for the training of his own soldiers, it is not necessary for him to spend now.

With this money, it is better to ask someone to tailor a set of heavy armor for yourself, plus a weapon that is strong enough to carry weight.

Ordinary armor weighs at most one or twenty pounds, after all, if you have to attack and kill on the battlefield, the armor is too heavy to run far.

And with Chen Mo's strength and endurance recovery speed, even if he wears fifty catties of heavy armor to fight, it is not a big problem.

Even as his strength increases, he can create heavier armor, and spending silver money on it will cost less than training two pro-soldiers, and the effect on the battlefield will only be stronger.

Turning around his barracks, Chen Mo didn't have much to pack, just a few clothes and some miscellaneous supplies.

He didn't rush to collect it, and it was too late to do it tomorrow.

took out two pieces of salvia, chewed it, chewed it, and swallowed it, Chen Mo looked at his own Huan Fan Zhu, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Qi and blood have accumulated completely, and they can only wait for the next transformation in the dead of night.
