"Back to my lord, the villain and a few other companions are doing some small business near this Zhuniuji, thanks to the care of the previous salt transport envoy, we can do this business in peace."

He Luoyun bowed his hand and apologized, his smile slightly flattering.

"Knowing that you are in office, I and a few colleagues have prepared a small gift, and I ask you to accept it. As long as you take care of our business in the future, we will all have filial piety every month. ”

The two hundred taels of silver were not paid by him alone, and there were two other groups of smugglers like him, who also contributed a lot of money.

It's just that among the three groups of people, his family's business is the largest and the strongest, so he was pushed out to contact Chen Mo, the newly appointed salt transport envoy.

"Besides you, how many other groups are there around here? How much silver can be taken every month, let the official turn a blind eye. ”

Chen Mo didn't waste any time playing with the other party, and asked straight to the point.

"Lord Hui, there are two groups of people besides me." Speaking of this, he seemed to grit his teeth and said ruthlessly, "I can give you a hundred taels a month." ”

Seeing that Chen Mo didn't respond for a while, he hurriedly added, "My lord is not a small one who doesn't want to honor you more, but in addition to you, we also have to honor the chief envoy of the salt transportation department and the head of the salt transportation department, and we really don't have any extra money in our hands to honor you." ”

The sale of illicit salt is indeed a huge profit among the huge profits, and it can be said that it is faster than being a bandit to rob money.

And if you want to sell salt steadily, there are too many people who need to be honored.

Chen Mo must be filial, his boss, his boss's boss, there can be no negligence.

When the salt was transported to the place where it was to be sold, the local county magistrates and miscellaneous officials had to go up and down.

He Luoyun tossed back and forth, coming and going in the wind and rain, and worked hard to make a business, but eighty percent of the profits had to be taken to the offering, and he could only keep two percent.

No wonder people in the world want to be officials, being an official is too leisurely, sitting in a high house and a bright hall, and the golden and jade people fly into their arms.

Chen Mo nodded lightly, thinking a little in his heart, it was naturally impossible for him to come here and not know anything.

The father-in-law told him in private about the situation here, and there were indeed only three smugglers near Zhuniuji.

When he was appointed as a salt transport envoy, the silver he could get every month was about eighty taels.

When he came to himself, it became a hundred taels, and twenty taels of them were thought to be in the face of his father-in-law.

"Listen to you, you are very familiar with our Salt Transportation Division?" Chen Mo asked with a hint of a smile on his face.

He remembered that he had other things to do when he came to take office this time, and if the head of the salt transportation department was smart, he wouldn't do anything, and if he wasn't smart, he still had to do it.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, the villain has only seen that adult a few times." He Luoyun hurriedly shook his head, in front of Chen Mo, he naturally didn't dare to brag nonsense.

"I'm gone with the others, as long as you are safe and don't make trouble, I won't care about you."

Chen Mo spoke slowly, accepting bribes, although it was an unspoken rule that everyone knew.

It is never a good thing that there are too many people who can be known, since He Luoyun has come out to take the lead, then there is no need for others to see more.

"This silver tael is given ninety taels a month, and it doesn't have to be a hundred taels, but you remember, there can only be three groups of people in this realm, and if something else happens, I can only ask."

Chen Mo did not take all the one hundred taels of silver per month, but spared ten taels.

But these ten taels of silver are not for nothing, He Luoyun has less money, if there are other illicit salt dealers in this realm, he will have to deal with it before Chen Mo finds out.

With so little money in exchange for his own purity, Chen Mo didn't have the heart to manage these things.

For him, martial arts training is the right path.

As for the money, he had a need, but not too much of it.

When his cultivation is promoted and he sits in a bigger official position, more people will inevitably send him more money.

Now there is no need to waste time on these small money, improving your own strength is the right way.

"The villain understands." He Luoyun's face was overjoyed, and ten taels of silver was not a small amount for him.

His business is the largest, and he has to pay the most money, and originally five of the ten taels of silver were all out of himself.

Now you don't have to take this part of the money, it is equivalent to saving, five taels a month, a full sixty taels a year.

With these few more days, my family can live a more relaxed life.

The youngest son wants to practice martial arts for a long time, so he can save more money so that he can go to a famous teacher.

I haven't mixed up all my life, and I am still not an official, and my sons say that they can't go down this road anymore.

As for ensuring that there are only three groups of smugglers in this area, Chen Mo doesn't need to say much, He Luoyun will also do it.

There were enough of them in this place, and anyone else would be in a violation of their interests.

"Then the adult, you rest, the villain will retire first, and the villain will live in Sanjiao Lane in the west of the town, if you can use the villain's place, please let someone know."

He Luoyun didn't dare to stay here any longer, bowed and bowed, and slowly retreated.

It wasn't until he left the main hall that he was completely relieved and dared to straighten his waist slowly.

In any case, judging from today's contact, the newly appointed salt transport envoy is quite easy to speak.

He Luoyun is not afraid of giving money, but he is afraid that he will not be able to do things after giving money, as long as he can do business in peace, the silver taels given out are worth it.

Chen Mo looked at the silver taels wrapped in red cloth, and he had to find a way to deposit the money into the ticket number when he turned around.

Otherwise, if you don't have trouble carrying it with you, you may be stolen.

This is not a small amount of money, enough to make many people crazy, even those who risk their lives.

"I'll clean up at home first and put our things in order." Zhao Yu stepped into the main hall and said softly.

The courtyard is very clean, beds, desks, dining tables, wardrobes, water tanks and other furniture are complete.

Even the two buckets that were used to draw water from the well were placed in the kitchen tank.

But it's not enough to live like this, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, opening the door is seven things.

Not to mention that she also has to help Chen Mo make the bed, so that he can sleep peacefully at night, clean clothes must be folded and put in the wardrobe, and the dirty clothes changed on the road must be washed and dried.

These are all things she has to do, not tired, but very messy.

"Hmm. I had to go to the barracks. Chen Mo got up from his chair, since he had settled down, he had to rush to the barracks early to see what the situation was there.

He first wrapped the silver on the table in a red cloth, and then took out an ingot from it and handed it to Zhao Yu.

"You take these, let's move here temporarily, and you can buy whatever the family lacks. If someone asks you where you came from, you say that you are the wife of the new salt envoy. ”

They have moved here newly, and the local people inquire about them, which is normal.

As the new salt transport envoy, Chen Mo has no need to hide his identity, and he can avoid some trouble by taking the initiative to say it.

After all, he has no identity background, and when he first came to set up such a large mansion here, it is inevitable that some people will have some thoughts that should not be raised.

Take the initiative to reveal your identity, so that someone will hit him with the idea that he shouldn't be beaten.

Chen Mo is not afraid of trouble, but he also doesn't want to cause those meaningless troubles.

"I know this, so I don't need the silver, I still have a lot of it." Zhao Yu took out a coarse cloth purse from his arms and opened it to show Chen Mo.

Inside is the silver she saved from doing business some time ago, and the amount is about three or four taels.

"Where are these enough, there are a lot of things to buy, you take them first, and then tell me if they are not enough."

Chen Mo smiled, and was about to stuff the silver into her hand.

"Then I'll take it first." Zhao Yu didn't shirk anymore, and took the heavy silver ingot.

Anyway, it's all a family, and if you take the money yourself, you will take it, and it will be spent on your own family in the end anyway.

Chen Mo helped Zhao Yu make a jar of water again, and told her not to cook in a hurry, and the two of them went to taste the famous local beef soup noodles and horse meat baked cakes first.

Since they have come and gone, there is no reason not to taste them.

After explaining this, he left for the barracks.
