super concubine

Chapter 34
Xiao Mo is not sure if the White Lotus Sect's next move is to deal with Zhou Chang's speculation, but what is certain is that this time, the entire Shen County, and even the entire Luzhou, must be cautious.

Regardless of whether the White Lotus Sect wants to burn Feng to close the warehouse, or to assassinate Zhou Chang, in short, neither of these two things can happen. Xiao Mo thought about it, and it seems that he must borrow troops.

As for the [-] shi of grain, Xiao Mo has to rearrange it. According to the proportion, the three towns will leave [-] shi, [-] shi, and [-] shi respectively. In this case, Shen County will have [-] shi of grain. It can be turned around, and these grains can be temporarily hidden. As for the grains for the daily expenses of residents, they can be bought from the grain merchants in the county.

Of course, now the grain merchants in Shen County have also increased the price of grain by more than three times, from the original thirty cents a dou to one hundred cents a dou.

Xiao Mo has no time to pay attention to the rise in food prices. These businessmen are taking advantage of the drought to make money. Of course, Xiao Mo keeps it in mind. When the time comes, there will be ways to deal with them.

The most important thing now, of course, is to deal with the White Lotus Sect.

Thinking that the White Lotus Sect might target Zhou Chang, Xiao Mo couldn't sit still, so he asked Zhou Kui to push him to the backyard of the county government office, begging to see Zhou Chang.

Li Ji was still sleeping, but Zhou Chang was woken up by Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo thought for a while and said to Zhou Chang: "My lord, can I go to the study?"

In addition to Li Ji's attendants and maids, there are still some errands in the yamen, so Xiao Mo asked to have a private conversation with Zhou Chang.

When the two came to the study, Zhou Chang asked, "Ziheng, what's the matter, why don't you go to Zhizheng?"

Zhou Chang is the government office, Li Ji is the county magistrate, and Xiao Mo, as the householder and young man of Shen County, should discuss matters with Li Ji, but Xiao Mo is looking for Zhou Chang: "My lord, Xiao Mo is here this time, It is for the adults to dispatch troops!"

"Transfer troops?" Zhou Chang was a little surprised. When Li Ji asked to borrow troops before, Xiao Mo still opposed it. Why is Xiao Mo also borrowing troops now?
Xiao Mo said: "It's about the safety of adults, we have to be cautious..."

Now there is no evidence to prove that the target of the White Lotus Sect is Zhou Chang, so Xiao Mo did not express his guess. However, the number of soldiers Xiao Mo asked for is not large. It doesn't take much food.

Zhou Chang’s meaning is still a bit embarrassing, if the army is used, not to mention the waste of people’s money, I’m afraid it will cause panic among the people, so he remained silent, Xiao Mo said: “If the adults are worried that the people will be frightened, it’s better to let the soldiers and generals wear The clothes of the City Supervision Department will be divided into two batches today, one group will escort the three towns to deliver food at night, and the other group will follow Master Lu to escort the victims after discussing with the three towns today about resettling the victims Go to the third town, and then garrison there, these soldiers, the lower officials need a smarter general, in the future, they still have to go to the third town and the city supervision department to change defenses!"

What Xiao Mo meant was that these soldiers would stay in Shen County in the future, that's why they used the word 'tune' instead of the word 'borrow'!

Zhou Chang pondered for a while, and asked Xiao Mo: "Can Ziheng guarantee that if I send troops to Shen County, besides dealing with the evildoers of the White Lotus Sect, I can also guarantee that the food shortage in Shen County will also be solved?"

This is for Xiao Mo to issue a letter of guarantee. In ancient times, a letter of guarantee was called a military order.Seeing that Zhou Chang was a little moved by the words, Xiao Mo said quickly: "Don't worry, my lord, Xiao Mo can guarantee that not only will Shen County not be short of food, but it will also make Shen County a land of prosperity!"

Only then did Zhou Chang nod his head, and then pointed to the pen and paper on the table, which meant that Zhou Chang should issue a military order!
Without thinking about it, Xiao Mo directly made the promise he made just now, and then signed his name.

At the end, Xiao Mo said to Zhou Chang: "Your Excellency, you must also promise that this matter of troop transfer will be kept secret for the time being. It is best not to mention even Master Li, for fear that more people will know and it will be easy to leak the news!"

Zhou Chang nodded and said, "I will save it for you!"

Xiao Mo then left the study and went to find Du Teng.

Du Teng found the documents and account books and other things that needed to be handed over in his public room. Xiao Mo came, but he didn't count them. He just glanced around, took a look at the seal of the Shaofu, and then turned to the yamen The little official in charge of the warehouse said: "I am the new Shaofu, and I am also the household secretary of this county, do you recognize it?"

The little official obviously knew Xiao Mo, nodded and said: "I report to the Young Mansion, I know your lord, what orders do you have?"

Xiao Mo said: "The public house of Du Shaofu, you should watch it outside. After lunch, you go to the household house and ask Lin Yiye to come here and check the handover items one by one against the property list. Check it out before sunset, and as for the books..."

Xiao Mo glanced at Du Teng, and then continued: "I believe Du Shaofu is not a person who disregards the law. It's okay to keep this account book and check it later!"

With such an approach, it can be seen that Xiao Mo is very relieved of Du Teng's behavior. Du Teng is also very grateful when he sees this: "Ziheng, you must distinguish between public and private. If Ziheng is too busy today, it is okay to check the accounts in two days. , anyway, I still have two days left in my term of office!"

Xiao Mo said: "Young Mansion is right, if that's the case, save the account books for tomorrow's inspection!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Mo dragged Du Teng to the backyard of the county government office.

Li Ji from the three towns was coming to discuss matters in the county, originally Li Ji planned to meet them at Binmanlou, but Xiao Mo stopped them, and suggested to Li Ji to buy some food and wine at the yamen and settle down.

Li Ji also agreed, and when it was time for lunch, Li Ji was awakened by his attendants, and then Li Zheng from the three towns also came to the county government office.

From Changle Town is Lin Chong, from Tongshan Town is Qiao Zheng, and from Qiao'an Town is an older man, Lizheng Chen Gongruo.

There was no need for Zhou Chang to meet up like this, so he simply rested in the backyard of the county government office.

After meeting, Qiao Zheng looked at Xiao Mo with a bad expression on his face.

Although Li Ji promised, Xiao Mo hasn't received a letter for so long, let alone went to Qiao's house to propose marriage in person, so Qiao Zheng was very dissatisfied with Xiao Mo's actions, and when they met, he would put on a straight face: "Where is Yuniang?" ?”

Unexpectedly, in front of Li Ji and everyone else, Qiao Zheng actually asked about Yuniang. Xiao Mo's face was a bit embarrassed, but Xiao Mo's face was also thick. He knew that Qiao Zheng was angry now, and if he didn't speak well I was afraid that Qiao Zheng would lose his temper in the county office as soon as his temper came, so he hurriedly shouted: "My lord father-in-law!"

This father-in-law shouted Qiao Zheng's eyes wide, while Li Ji smiled, but also looked at Xiao Mo in surprise, as for Lin Chong frowned. On such occasions, Xiao Mo called Qiao Zheng to do it. Father-in-law is a bit too much. To put it bluntly, Xiao Mo and Yuniang were originally uncles and sisters. Although I later found out that Yuniang's marriage certificate was torn up by Xiao Mo's brother, Xiao Mo and Yuniang did not go through a matchmaker. Matching horoscopes, signing a marriage contract, not to mention getting married, just calling Qiao Zheng his father-in-law, I'm afraid it will be criticized.

But Xiao Mo didn't care. After calling Li Ji, although Li Ji was surprised, he obviously didn't want to accept this title!
Xiao Mo said: "Father-in-law doesn't like Xiao Mo calling like that? How about my father-in-law?"

Qiao Zheng snorted, dissatisfied with Xiao Mo's rascally appearance.

Xiao Mo ignored it, and continued to say: "My father-in-law can't do it either, let's go to Mount Tai!"

Qiao Zheng's face turned pale and swollen. This Xiao Mo's cheeky skin is really outrageous, and he can't usually see it. Qiao Zheng was speechless by Xiao Mo's few words. , just pointing at Xiao Mo, and after a long time, he sighed and slowly put down his hand: "Okay, don't lose your face, I heard that your mother is ill, this time I also brought some supplements for your mother Make up your body, let's talk about these things when we go back!"

His tone finally softened, and there was nothing Qiao Zheng could do if he didn't soften up. First, Xiao Mo was indeed promising now, and became the young mansion and secretary of Shen County; second, Yuniang's mind could not be changed. After staying at home for three years, if Yuniang goes out again, no one else will believe that Yuniang is still a cloud.

Words are awesome!So Qiao Zheng could only sigh and accept Xiao Mo's title.
