Invasion of the martial arts world

Chapter 346 The sky is dead and the yellow sky should stand
"Chen Taishou, the emperor's imperial decree has been conveyed, and it is clearly written that you are required to rush to Donglai immediately to take up the post." Xiao Huangmen said with a smile after receiving the copper ingot.

"Do you know why the emperor asked Chen to serve as the governor of Donglai?" Chen Mo asked again, stuffing a copper ingot into the wide sleeve of Xiaohuangmen's robe.

"It is said that the general sent an urgent letter yesterday to ask for an official. Mr. Chen should hurry up and order. If the general finds out that you are still staying, he will be angry." Xiao Huangmen said with a smile.

Chen Mo nodded and beckoned to his concierge in Luoyang City, and told him to leave enough copper ingots for several years. He took Tai Shici and Wu Anguo and rode out of Luoyang City quickly.

A local prefect is still a high-ranking official who can earn 300 shi every year. According to the statement of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty who sells officials at this time, even officially appointed and dismissed officials have to pay the fee for buying an official, which is [-] million yuan. But they are all impurity copper blocks that have to be pulled on several carts;

Chen Mo didn't ask for an official fee when he was the prefect. Although Chen Mo didn't care about the price, it might be better if he didn't pay it. Especially the prefect had the same job as Kong Rong, but Chen Mo's salary was a little less, but Chen Mo finally got it. A place where everything is said and done.

The three of Chen Mo traveled day and night, but they arrived in Qingzhou within ten days. After paying homage to Jiao He with a depressed face, the three of them rushed to Beihai Kingdom to explain to Kong Rong, and then went straight to Donglai County's prefect's mansion. Huang County where it is located.

The thirteen counties under Donglai County have a population of about one million. The county magistrates and magistrates of these counties are very familiar with Chen Mo. When they heard that he came to serve as the prefect, everyone was ecstatic. Since Chen Mo was in command, Although Donglai can't reach the goal of not closing the door at night and not picking up lost things, it seems that there are few gangsters in the bright world.

Chen Mo took Wu Anguo as the captain of Donglai County, and Tai Shici as the trilogy, and then recruited Zhao Su as the meritorious Cao, and Chu Xing as the master, and then he asked Zhao Su and Chu Xing to recruit various personnel from the corresponding prefect's mansion. However, all the layouts of Dongnae County returned to normal after a month or so.

Wu Anguo and Tai Shici began to practice diligently every morning and evening, and took the county soldiers to train around from time to time. According to Chen Mo, these county soldiers had to march hundreds of miles with heavy loads to be considered qualified, so Chen Mo even gave all his salary Take it out and buy relatively cheaper fish and seafood to supplement their nutrition.

Chen Mo didn't dare to take out a lot of wealth to do things rashly, but he got 3000 million by selling a small night pearl seemingly by accident. Although 3000 million is not much, if a state governor is only three thousand shi In terms of annual salary, the 3000 million at this time is enough for him to find it after 1 years.

The main industries in Donglai County are fishery and farming, and Chen Mo is also very concerned about these things. In terms of farming, he has not brought out natural creations and agricultural farming promotion for later generations, but he is still organizing people to dig canals and build ponds. Although it is a seaside, it is not uncommon for it to be dry for several months without rain.

As for the fishing industry, Chen Mo gathered all craftsmen who can build fishing boats in Penglai, and gave them materials and enough supplies. Chen Mo began to let them try to build large sharp-bottomed boats. As for what they were used for, he only said that they were used for ocean fishing.

In several hidden places, Chen Mo began to secretly train foundry workers and mold makers, but he didn't have many trustworthy talents under his command, otherwise he would start gradually experimenting with making his cannons and muskets at this time.

There are blueprints and craftsmanship, but it is a pity that Chen Mo, the prefect, personally guides the technical talents. He secretly builds casting houses and craftsmen's houses, which is illegal in this era. Fortunately, Donglai County is far away from the emperor, and no one likes to come to the seaside to make trouble. .

"Report to the prefect that there are rumors of riots everywhere. Except for Beihai and Donglai in Qingzhou, there are a large number of Taiping Yellow Turbans in other places."

At the beginning of February in [-] AD, that is, at the end of the seventh year of Chuping, there was a severe drought all over the world and people suffered catastrophe, but the aristocratic families who hoarded land still did not reduce rent, not to mention that the stupid court ignored all this;

Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Taiping Sect, asked the followers of Qing, Xu, You, Ji, Jing, Yang, Yan, and Yu to prepare for an uprising on the fifth day of March in the Jiazi year, but was reported by his disciple Qiao Zhou. Ma Yuanyi, the leader of the Taiping Army in Sili, When the others were killed and the court prepared to suppress it, Zhang Jiao had no choice but to announce the Yellow Turban Uprising in advance.

The sky is dead, the yellow sky is about to stand, the year is Jiazi, and the world is auspicious.

Chen Mo listened to the report of the spies he sent out, and also looked at the uprising declaration of the Yellow Turban Army. In the past year, Chen Mo opened the canals to build ponds, and the farmers in Donglai County were not affected. In addition, there are strong county soldiers in Donglai. , even if there are some members of the Taiping sect here, they dare not start a riot here.

"Shaoming, can the officials from all over the place inform the people about appeasing the people?" Chen Mo asked Zhao Su, who was kneeling on his knees, after waving the spies away.

Zhao Su is Chen Mo's meritorious service. In addition to being responsible for appointing and dismissing officials and reviewing officials from various places, he also has to help Chen Mo deal with many things in Donglai County without a prefect;

To be honest, Zhao Su is just a conservative official, but there is no one in Chen Mo's hands, so he can only use it. At least Zhao Su and Chu Xing have more than [-]% of their favor and loyalty to him. They cannot be bought.

Zhao Su also knew that his abilities were limited to that much. Apart from inspecting the officials, he did a good job, and most of the time he followed Chen Mo's orders.

"My lord, officials from all over the country made preparations a month ago, and they are now recruiting township braves. If your lord says that the imperial court will allow all regions to recruit troops to suppress the riots, we will recruit tens of thousands of township braves in a few days, and let Master Wu After training with Lord Taishi for one month, he will have good combat power;

However, the spies reported that the Yellow Turban Army appeared in Jinan, Qi, Le'an, Chengyang, and Linzi. The bandit leader Guanhai gathered a large number of rebels around Jinan. If it is not bad, they will start within a month. Sweeping across Qingzhou. " Zhao Su frowned and said in a low voice.

"It's none of our business for the time being. We can't send troops easily without the imperial court's announcement. Even the matter of our early recruitment of local bravery is not allowed to spread. What happened to Master Kong of Beihai Kingdom?" Chen Mo squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice.

Bo Chuxing, the person in charge of contact, smiled slightly and said:
"Kong Wenju still doesn't believe it, but he is still planning to increase the number of county soldiers to 5000, so that you can send someone to take over the military somewhere. He seems much more comfortable."

Chen Mo touched his chin, his eyes flickered and said:
"Since Lord Kong has this request, then I'm not polite. Let Wu Anguo garrison in Changyi, and let Tai Shici lead the army to garrison near Chengyang. Once there is turmoil, let's defend Beihai and Donglai first."
