Chapter 97 Refugees from Fengxian

For the people at the bottom, they are really not afraid of hardship. As long as they have a goal in life and don't care about their lives, they can endure it and it will be over.

Chen Mo's training was a bit tough, but it was still life-threatening.

After the first day passed, Chen Mo did not reduce the training intensity on the second day, but remained the same as the first day.

Chen Mo just let them get used to and adapt to this kind of training intensity.

If it is like this on the first day, becomes lighter and different on the second day, and changes back again on the third day, something will happen.

As for whether they would resent him or not, Chen Mo didn't care.

What is an army?
It's a big millstone. No matter what monsters, monsters or dragons come, you have to do it if you are told to do so.

You absolutely cannot care about you just because you can't stand it.

Chen Mo trained the current batch of brave guards as the backbone.

If there are changes in the future, these soldiers can serve as grassroots officers and quickly pull up a capable army.

Later, he will teach the blood nourishing technique to the seven squad captains in the army.

Over the next three days, they gradually adapted.

Chen Mo's own cultivation was not delayed either.

Because if he improves his cultivation, he relies on absorbing the purple energy of the sun and devouring meat. As for sword skills, he only needs to swing the sword with all his strength, which does not conflict with military training.

As of now, April 11th.

[Name: Chen Mo. 】

【Age: 17. 】

[Exercise method: Ziyang Huayuan Gong (Introduction 2563.4/3000). 】

[Realm: Refining Zang (seventh level). 】

[Strength: 135. 】

[Skill: Magic-Breaking Sword Technique (Perfect 968743/1000000). 】

As long as the weather continues to be sunny for no more than ten days, there will be a breakthrough in cultivation.

For sword skills, two days at most.

this afternoon.

Zhang He once again brought people with him and returned with a full load.

This time, in addition to the goods, I also bought two cattle.

Zhu Yongzhi was quite reliable. Not only did he find cattle, but he also sold all the coarse salt he had accumulated, a total of two thousand kilograms, to Zhang He.

And it is sold at fifty cents per catty.

Not only that, Zhu Yongzhi also raised fifty cents for the price of refined salt.

It turned out that Zhu Yongzhi paid 800 yuan per pound for the refined salt in Chen Mo's hands.

Now Zhu Yongwen charges 850 yuan per pound.

Last time, 500 kilograms of coarse salt was extracted into 440 kilograms of fine salt, earning 374 kilograms of money.

Excluding the money spent on cattle and coarse salt, most of the remaining money was spent on grain.

As bags of grain were unloaded from ox carts and mule carts, the onlookers' faces were full of excitement.

After all, it depends on whether they can eat.

After they dispersed, only Zhang He and Hu Changsheng remained.

Chen Mo led the two of them into the room. After Zhang He sat down, he took off the package, opened it on the table, and said: "Brother Mo, this is the sugar you want. This thing is very expensive. One or two will be enough." Twenty dollars gone."

"What, twenty guans and one tael?" Chen Mo knew that white sugar was expensive, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive. The icing sugar he bought in the county before was not even one-tenth of the price.

Zhang He nodded: "Zhu Yongzhi spent a lot of effort to buy this for us. It's hard to buy this sugar."

Chen Mo nodded, tapped the table with his fingers, and then said: "Why is Zhu Yongzhi so kind all of a sudden? He first lowered the price of our coarse salt, then raised the price of our refined salt, and now he has bought it for us. Sugar.”

"Brother Mo, thanks to us explaining his background, Zhu Yongzhi did this. He said he wanted to make friends with you, Brother Mo, and hoped that all the refined salt we would produce in the future would be sold to him," Zhang He said.

Hearing this, Chen Mo raised his eyebrows and understood what Zhu Yongzhi was thinking. He was convinced that he was trying to create a monopoly.

"What a big tone. Who is behind him, who can take such a large amount of business?" Chen Mo said.At this time, Hu Changsheng took over and said, "I heard that the magistrate of Quanyang County's favorite concubine is Zhu Yongzhi's cousin."

After the words fell, Chen Mo pondered for a long time.

How should I put it? It was both expected and unexpected.

Unsurprisingly, he expected that people who could sell illegal salt would have some background.

Unexpectedly, this person turned out to be the magistrate of Quanyang County.

However, this also shows how rotten the bureaucrats under the Song Dynasty were.

Not to mention that officials and businessmen colluded to sell illegal salt, but now that they knew he was a traitor, they still dared to trade. Isn't this inappropriate funding for the enemy?
This reminded him of the rebels in the north. If there were no officials from the imperial court involved, he would never believe it.

But this is definitely a good thing for Chen Mo.

The more greedy the other party is, the happier he will be.

"Next time you trade, ask if they sell armor?" Chen Mo said.

Since the other party is so courageous, it wouldn't be a problem to sell a few sets of armor.

Hearing Chen Mo's words, Zhang He and Hu Changsheng were shocked.

Even ordinary people know that hiding armor privately is a capital crime for the Nine Clan, let alone selling armor.

But thinking that the other party dared to trade after knowing their identities, maybe they could actually buy armor.

"No." Zhang He and Hu Changsheng replied.

"By the way, each of the brave guards who went to Quanyang County to trade this time will be rewarded with five kilograms of corn." Chen Mo said.

Now that the rewards and punishments have been decided, the brave guards who go out to protect this time must not be short of rewards.

"promise."

……

Chen Mo had someone dig a large pond around the sulfur plant, and all the urine collected in the past few days was poured into the large pond.

Once the large pool is full, you can refine the saltpeter.

Two days later, the cottage.

[Number of sword swings +1, magic-breaking sword experience +1. 】

At the same time, a huge amount of memories poured into Chen Mo's mind.

He was still the same young man, standing under the waterfall, practicing his sword day and night. Finally one day, his sword skills were successful again. With one swing of his sword, the waterfall falling down was cut in two and separated in the middle. In some parts, there was a temporary interruption in flow.

[Name: Chen Mo. 】

【Age: 17. 】

[Exercise method: Ziyang Huayuan Gong (Introduction 2701.3/3000). 】

[Realm: Refining Zang (seventh level). 】

[Strength: 135+75. 】

[Skill: Demon-Breaking Knife Technique (has been perfected, and after reaching the level of Qi Refining, you can break the level with a swing of the sword. 】

"This time the additional strength is only increased by 10 points."

Chen Mo's eyebrows narrowed slightly, he looked at the waist-thick tree in the distance, and swung his knife.

There was a loud "bang", and the big tree fell down. Especially the middle section of the big tree exploded into pieces, and sawdust flew into the air.

"Master Chen Xian, it's not good."

Hu Qiang, who came to report at this time, saw this scene, his words suddenly stopped and he swallowed his saliva.

Chen Mo turned around and sheathed his sword: "What's wrong?"

"Back to Master Chen, a group of refugees came to the village. They have been stopped by the brave guards?" Hu Qiang said.

"refugee?"

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows: "Where did the refugees come from?"

"They claim to be from Fengxian,"
