In this weird world, I use my body to control all things

Chen Mo looked at the appointment letter in his hand. This appointment letter was personally issued by his adoptive father Sun Shouren, appointing him as the salt transport envoy of Zhu Niujidu Division.

He is an official of the ninth grade and has 500 soldiers under his command.

Of course, it is written that there were 500 people, but it’s hard to say how many there were specifically. You have to wait and see for yourself.

It has to be said that this official position is an absolute advantage. Although it is only a ninth-grade official position, in terms of rights and benefits, I am afraid that many eighth-grade official positions cannot compare with it.

The Dusi Salt Transport Envoy was responsible for escorting the salt mined by the imperial court, controlling the outflow of illegal salt, and cracking down on illegal salt dealers.

Salt has always been controlled by the imperial court. Anyone who wants to sell salt and mine salt mines must have a salt certificate issued by the imperial court.

Those who secretly sell salt will be exiled for three thousand miles by fifty bans, while those who mine salt mines privately will have their masterminds executed and the rest of their homes confiscated.

However, even so, the private salt business has been banned repeatedly because the profits are too high.

The cost of mining a pound of salt is only fifteen cents, but it can be sold for at least one hundred cents, and there will be no worries about sales, because one pound of official salt costs at least one hundred and thirty cents.

It is illegal to sell illegal salt, but it is not illegal to buy illegal salt, because no illegal salt dealer will say that the source of his salt is unknown, and there is no way to investigate such a thing.

By taking this position, Chen Mo could not only eat the free wages of his soldiers, but also receive part of the profits from selling private salt.

The reason is quite simple, although those private salt dealers and other court officials may also have something to do with it.

But the county magistrate is not as good as taking charge now. Even if Chen Mo can't send them to jail, he can make it impossible for these private salt dealers to sell salt safely with a little effort.

What's more, he also has a background behind him. He is sitting in this position, and those private salt dealers cannot replace him.

In this case, as long as those salt dealers are smart, they will first send Chen Mo enough banknotes to make him turn a blind eye.

After reading the appointment letter, Chen Mo looked at his scholar's document, which was equivalent to a road guide for the entire Daqian.

With it, no matter where you go, you won't break the law.

For ordinary people, it would be a crime to leave their hometown for hundreds of miles without a road guide.

Therefore, the vast majority of people have almost no chance to leave the county where they live throughout their lives, and some even never leave the towns where they live.

After putting away the appointment letter and documents, Chen Mo got up and went to find his adoptive father.

These things were sent by the adoptive father's personal soldiers, and he told him to go to see him after getting them.

Walking all the way to the study, Xu Dabao and Sun Li apparently also received the appointment letters and are both here now.

"You two will work hard when you take office, and don't slack off in your cultivation, but you must also learn to manage your subordinates well." Seeing Chen Mo coming, Sun Shouren gave the two of them a last word before waving them away, obviously saying something private. Chen Mo said.

Judging from his previous performance, he understood that Chen Mo, his adopted son, was much more reliable than his nephew and nephew.

And he has his adopted father in his heart, which is very good. Even his nephew may not be able to do it.

So there are many things that he is now willing to leave to Chen Mo.

"Du is the salt transport envoy. Although his official position is not high, he is extremely important. He can investigate the illegal sale and exploitation of salt.

But above you there is also the general envoy of the Salt Transport Department, and the director of the Salt Transport Department. The director Liu Mingqiao is a distant relative of our Dingzhou Prime Minister.

But he hasn't visited me since I took office. "Having said this, Sun Shouren's tone darkened.

The profit from selling private salt is quite high, and the most important thing is that it is stable. Logically speaking, as the guard of Xingyuan Prefecture, he should get a share of the profit.

But since he took office, the head of the Salt Transportation Department has not visited him yet. It seems that he just doesn't take him seriously!

"Then I dare to ask the adoptive father, what should I do with the child in the past?" Chen Mo asked in a low voice.

"This time you came to take office safely. Within the scope of your jurisdiction, if a private salt dealer gives you money, feel free to accept it. Don't worry about anything else.

If Liu Mingqiao is smart, he will naturally come to me. If he's not smart, just wait for news from me. "

Sun Shouren spoke slowly. Since he was talking to Chen Mo, there was no need to say so obscure things.

He is not an outsider, so instead of letting him guess, it is better to explain it to him directly and let him know what to do.

He sent Chen Mo there not to ask him to do anything, but to give Liu Mingqiao a reminder.

If the other party is smart, he will naturally come to apologize, and then he will not pursue the matter further.

After all, Zhou Cheng was also a fifth-rank official like himself, and Sun Shouren didn't want to quarrel with him casually.

Of course, if Liu Mingqiao or Zhou Cheng behind him was embarrassed, he would have to find a way to deal with them.

It doesn't matter if he offends Zhou Cheng. Since the other party is not afraid of offending him, then why should he worry about offending him.

As a governor, although Zhou Cheng assisted the governor and prime minister in the state affairs, he could not control the governor who was directly appointed and dismissed by the imperial court.

"My child understands." Chen Mo bowed his hands and obeyed.

His adoptive father said it so clearly that no matter how stupid he was, he could figure it out.

Anyway, just go there and take office safely. Everything depends on the next arrangements of the adoptive father.

"Okay, go back and pack up. We will take office in three days. Zhuniu Town Military Camp is more than 300 miles away from us, and the road is not easy.

In addition, don’t forget to take away the horse you often ride in the camp when you come back. "Sun Shouren warned carefully.

He also specifically told Chen Mo some details about Zhu Niuji so that he could be prepared when he got there.

Chen Mo then bowed his hands and slowly retreated. He did not ask his adoptive father for help.

If he was going to fight immediately, then of course he would leave with a few soldiers, so that with a few elite soldiers, he could better command his soldiers.

However, there is no war in Xingyuan Mansion, so even if he takes a few people away, he will be useless.

Because when the time comes to go to the border to fight, his soldiers will also be recruited from the border, and it is impossible for the Xingyuan Prefecture Xiang army to accompany him to the border.

In this case, it is completely unnecessary to find a few soldiers to train and restrain the new soldiers, because when they reach the border, everything will have to start all over again.

On the contrary, if you really want to leave a few soldiers, you have to pay for the daily training of eating, drinking, drinking, etc.

With this money, I might as well save it for two meals of meat and buy a few packets of soup and medicine.

As for training his own soldiers, it is no necessary expense for him now.

With this money, it is better to ask someone to tailor a set of heavy armor for you, plus a weapon that is strong enough and weighty enough.

Ordinary armor can weigh no more than ten or twenty kilograms. After all, on the battlefield, you have to rush to attack and kill, so the armor is too heavy and you can't run very far.

And with Chen Mo's strength and endurance recovery speed, even wearing fifty pounds of heavy armor to fight would not be a big problem.

Even as his strength increases, he can build heavier armor. Spending money on it is less expensive than training two personal soldiers, and the effect on the battlefield will only be stronger.

Returning to his barracks, Chen Mo didn't have much to pack, just a few clothes and some sundries.

He wasn't in a hurry to collect it, he could wait until tomorrow to do it.

Taking out two pieces of salvia, chewing them and swallowing them, Chen Mo looked inside at his Mortal Pearl, with a smile on his lips.

The energy and blood have been accumulated to perfection, and the next transformation can take place only in the dead of night.
