Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

Chapter 129 Dad wants to find a husband for Xiaolu?

At the beginning of the unitary hour.

Chen Mo stretched and walked out of the room. After resting for a few hours, he now felt refreshed.

As soon as they arrived at the main hall of the Yamen, Zhang He, Gao Ming, Lu Yuan, Su Wen, and Wang Ping, who had been waiting for a long time, all gathered around them.

"Brother Mo, we have found all the maids you want."

"Master Chen Xian, the statistical work on the people's side has been completed."

"Master Chen Xian, all the prisoners have been brought to the village and are under the custody of the reserve team."

"Master Chen"

Although Chen Mo only rested for more than two hours, there were too many things backlogged in the county that needed Chen Mo to deal with.

Every word they said to each other made Chen Mo feel a little headache.

"Okay, you all stop first and speak one by one. Brother Shui, you, come first." Chen Mo rubbed his brows and said.

"Brother Mo, all the maids you asked Han Wu to find have been found. They are all innocent women among the refugees with beautiful faces. There are six in total. They are all adults. Their families sold them to us. Han Wu said it was definitely not a forced sale, he had already changed his shift and went to rest, let me tell you," Zhang He said.

"Just in time, let them tidy up the backyard of the yamen, send two to the kitchen as cooks, and transfer the rest to serve the two sisters, and give them some money. If the two sisters request it, let them order them directly That’s it.”

As he said that, Chen Mo looked at everyone and said, "I don't care whether you know the identity of the two sisters, but from this moment on, you are all rotting in my stomach, do you understand?"

"Understood." Everyone shouted.

"Don't worry, Brother Mo, I understand." Zhang He gave Chen Mo a meaningful smile.

Chen Mo kicked Zhang He directly and said, "Go and do your thing quickly. By the way, let the maid boil the water. I want to take a bath later."

"No." Zhang He touched his butt and stepped back.

Next came Su Wen, who came forward to report: "There are 560 eight people dead in the county, 73 people seriously injured, and about 36 people lightly injured. In addition, some people took advantage of the chaos to escape from the city before the city was closed. For the time being, It is still impossible to count. [-] houses were burned or damaged, and many shops were looted. In addition, shops in the west, south and north cities were all looted.

More than 13 guan of money was recovered, and it was not enough to compensate the people's losses. The money collected from the yamen was also used, and more than 29 guan was spent, leaving [-] guan. "

Su Wen and the scribes in the yamen made a clear count, and there was no omission.

Chen Mo nodded and said: "You can contact Wang Ping for the rest of the money, and use it to pay out the pensions and rewards for the brave guards, and then confiscate the rest. Those scribes in the Yamen will also be handed over to Wang Ping in the future. Tube."

The military and the government must be separated and must not be confused.

"No." Su Wen said.

Wang Ping took the opportunity to step forward and said that the heads of the Wang and Yi families had prepared a banquet in Wanhe Tower and invited Chen Mo to the banquet in the evening. After saying this, he retreated to meet Su Wen.

Then there was Lu Yuan. He talked about the prisoners, and then said that General Sun, Sun Meng, and the seventh-level guard named Liu Ze of the two sisters also woke up and asked Chen Mo what to do?
Chen Mo rubbed his temples and did not answer for the time being. He looked at Gao Ming and asked him if he had anything to say.

Gao Mingdao: "Master Chen Xian, the books, guzheng and other musical instruments you asked me to move back from Baiyu Street have all been transported to the Yamen. In addition, my subordinates also found several good horses in the stables of the house, including a horse. This snow dragon horse is worth ten thousand gold, can travel thousands of miles in a day, and is the best among war horses."

When talking about Xue Longjun, Gao Ming's eyes were shining. He was once a cavalryman and he loved war horses extremely much.

Snow Dragon Jun has been recorded in this book. It is produced in the northernmost country of Yeyou. It is not only cold-resistant, but also water-resistant. It is very spiritual. Because the output is small, it is not just something that can be bought with money. .

It should be Xia Zhining's.

"Leave the Xue Longjun to me, and reward the remaining horses to you and the four Qingzhou Army brothers." Chen Mo pondered for a moment and said.

"Thank you, Immortal Master Chen." Gao Ming looked a little excited. Although the remaining horses were not as good as the Snow Dragon Horse, they were still rare good horses and were better than the war horses they rode before.

"Don't worry, thank you. I still have a task for you to handle."

"Master Chen Xian, just ask."

"First, train the prisoners in the village to become our own as soon as possible. Second, find a way to recruit the remaining Qingzhou Army remnants. Tell Wang Ping the money required." Chen Mo said.

If those prisoners of the garrison are well trained, it won't take long to become a real regular army, and they can quickly increase the strength of the army.

"No." Gao Ming also went down.

Then Chen Mocai answered Lu Yuan: "How are they recovering?"

"Sun Meng is okay. The guard named Liu Ze was seriously injured and couldn't get out of bed for ten days and a half." Lu Yuandao.

Chen Mo pondered for a while and then said: "Tell Sun Meng that his family is in my hands. If he wants to take refuge, forget it. We will wait for a while and let him dry for one night. Just say that his family is in our hands." .”

"promise."

After Lu Yuan retreated, Su Qi was the only one left in the main hall.

"What else?"

Chen Mo couldn't help but feel a little confused, and finally understood that after the Ming Dynasty abolished the prime minister, it also established a cabinet.

Strengthening the imperial power is one of them. Another point is that the emperor has too many memorials and government affairs to deal with every day. Even a diligent person like Zhu Yuanzhang has to face endless memorials every day.

The establishment of a cabinet will save a lot of trouble.

At present, I am only managing one county, and there are so many things to do. In the future, the territory will be so big that I really won’t be able to manage it.

You have to pay attention or look for management talents.

"Master Chen Xian, there are still many refugees who attacked the city for us last night. They are all in the city, but they have no place to live. If they are all piled up in the city, trouble will happen sooner or later. How should we deal with them?" Su Qi asked.Hearing this, Chen Mo walked back and forth in the main hall twice with his hands behind his back, and immediately said: "First, he will be placed in the barracks of the original garrison in the city, and he will be given porridge twice a day. Adult men can join the brave guard."

"promise."

After taking care of the things at hand, I returned to the backyard. The hot water was almost ready. A maid came over to inform and bumped into Chen Mo.

"County Magistrate." The maid knew Chen Mo. When she saw that she accidentally bumped into him, she quickly begged for mercy and admitted her mistake, her lips trembling.

This maid was about sixteen or seventeen years old. When she came to the Yamen, she seemed to have been specially dressed. She was wearing a light yellow long skirt with a waist and a double bun. Just like Zhang He said, she did have a beautiful face.

But in Chen Mo's eyes, it can only be regarded as average. After all, there are jaspers like Han Anniang and the Xia sisters in front of them.

However, we see the maid almost every day. She is good-looking and pleasing to the eye.

"Don't be afraid, I don't eat people. As long as you do your part in the future, nothing will happen to you." Chen Mo comforted her by patting her shoulder gently.

The maid's delicate body trembled slightly, and she wanted to retreat nervously, but she didn't dare. Her face turned red, and she was ready to sacrifice herself.

"What's your name?" Chen Mo said.

"Nu Nu maid Chun Hong."

"Chunhong." Chen Mo nodded and said immediately: "It's just you, come here and wait for me to bathe."

"Yes. No."

……

On the other side, the Yi family.

It's not dark yet, but the lights are brightly lit throughout the Yi family.

backyard.

"Drink, ha."

Yi Shiyan wore a short skirt that cinched the waist and covered the chest. The upper body was simple, and the wide skirt on the lower body did not restrict movement.

She is practicing.

She is not yet a warrior, and she does not spend more time practicing every day.

Because practice is too hard, no matter what kind of technique it is, the early stage of polishing the muscles and bones is indispensable. It’s not that Yi Shiyan can’t bear this kind of hardship, but Yi Qianchi is too protective and can’t bear to suffer it. This kind of suffering.

In Yi Qianchi's view, unless someone is extremely talented or has advanced skills, if he wants to become a warrior and does not have the resources to supplement, it will take at least several years, or even more than ten years. have.

After becoming a warrior, if you want to advance to the eighth level, you have to put in more than ten or twenty years of hard work.

Even a noble family like the Yi family could only produce a seventh-grade warrior at best.

Therefore, instead of letting my daughter endure such hardships and risk accumulating ailments when she gets old, and having to wander around as a low-grade warrior, it is better to let her live her life happily and carefree.

Therefore, Yi Shiyan's training is more about strengthening his body and being able to defeat one or two ordinary people.

The maids were waiting aside with tea. When they saw the young lady stopping to rest, they immediately went up to her, wiping her sweat and handing her tea.

"Xiao Ling, how did you do with my Yi family gun just now?" Yi Shiyan took the tea from the maid, handed the wooden gun to the servant on the side, and asked about his personal maid Xiao Ling.

Yi Shiyan has a pair of big and smart eyes, and his whole person is filled with a lively and fresh atmosphere, which makes people fall in love with him when they see him.

Xiao Ling wiped the sweat from the young lady's forehead and said with a smile: "It's very good, not inferior to the master at all."

"You are the only one with a sweet mouth." Yi Shiyan pinched Xiao Ling's round face that still had some baby fat, and smiled playfully: "But I like to listen, hehe."

"master."

"master."

"."

At this moment, Yi Qianchi came over. When the maids in the yard saw him, they quickly bowed and saluted.

"Dad." Yi Shiyan trotted over, hugged Yi Qianchi's arm, and shook it gently.

Yi Qianchi touched his daughter's head, his eyes moved, and said: "Xiaolu, go take a bath and dress up quickly. In the evening, my father will take you to the banquet to meet a noble person."

"Who is it?" Yi Shiyan's eyes flickered.

"It's the Chen Mo that Yu told you before."

"Is this the rebel leader who invaded the city last night?"

Yi Shiyan was extremely smart and reacted immediately, exclaiming in surprise.

"Be careful."

Yi Qianchi scolded lightly.

The girl quickly covered her mouth with her hand and blinked her big eyes, which were particularly cute. After pondering for a moment, she gently bit her lip and said, "Dad, are you going to find a husband for Xiaolu?"

Yi Qianchi paused slightly, looking at such a smart daughter, and said softly: "Xiaolu, you go and meet her first. If you don't like her, my father will not marry you."
