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

"This..." A smile appeared on Ma Cai's face, unwilling to say any more.

If Chen Mo helps him this time, he will tell him about it. If he didn't help him, he wouldn't tell him about it without any reason.

"You two go get the money, and I'll tell Master He about this." Chen Mo thought for a moment and then agreed.

He was quite interested in that good thing. Ma Cai had some connections in his family, so the good thing he said was probably not a lie.

"It's all ready. All the money we got during this period is here." Ma Cai quickly took out a heavy gray and black cloth bag from his arms. At a glance, it was clear that there were a lot of copper plates in it.

Chen Mo took the cloth bag and picked up the lotus leaf chicken, then got up and walked towards the barracks where He Maguan lived.

Seeing this, Ma Cai and Ding Bao followed closely behind him.

The barracks where He Maguan lives is relatively more spacious, and the internal furnishings and displays are also more complete.

He was sitting on a deck chair, smoking a cigarette.

Seeing Chen Mo coming with lotus leaf chicken, his eyes couldn't help but narrowed slightly.

"What, your boy wants to treat me to chicken today?"

"No, this chicken was bought by Ding Baocai and the others to honor you." Chen Mo picked up the rag and wiped the table, untied the chicken and placed it on the table.

Official He Maguan's expression changed and he looked out the door, "If you show your courtesy for nothing, you are either committing adultery or stealing!"

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows and had some guesses in his heart.

"You know, sir, that they are secretly selling horse dung behind your back?"

He Maguan snorted coldly, pulled off a chicken leg, looked outside the door and said, "The two of them were able to hide it for a day or two, how can they hide it from me for a month or two!"

He has been in the army for decades, and he doesn't know what he knows.

He had noticed this matter a few days ago. The reason why he asked Chen Mo to shovel the manure was to see if he knew about it and whether he would hide it from him if he knew it.

If the three of them really worked together to hide it from him, then even if it would be difficult to replace them all at once, he would still have to do it.

Outside the door, Ma Cai and Ding Bao looked pale and their bodies looked like chaff, and they couldn't help but feel happy in their hearts.

Fortunately, he listened to Chen Mo's advice and took the initiative to explain the entire matter to He Maguan.

Otherwise, all that awaits them is military law.

"Don't be too angry. The two of them have realized their mistake. All the money they made during this period is here." Chen Mo took the wallet and handed it to He Maguan.

He began to weigh it, and the anger on his face suddenly lost three to four points.

He was angry, not because he was secretly selling horse dung, but because they kept hiding it from him and refused to share the money with him.

There is simply no trace of him as a horse official in his eyes!

"The two of them didn't do this on purpose. Don't be too angry or get angry again." Chen Mo comforted him repeatedly.

"Everyone, get out of here!" He Maguan shouted angrily toward the door.

Ma Cai and Ding Bao trembled and moved into the house with their heads down.

"Today, for the sake of Chen Mo interceding for you two, I will no longer pursue your faults!" He Maguan looked serious.

In fact, he didn't want to make this matter too big. If others knew that something like this happened to the stable he was in charge of, he would lose face.

He had thought before that if all three of them hid it from him, then he would have to replace them all.

If there are only two people hiding this from him, then just give them a good beating and wait and see what happens. There is no need to make too much of a fuss.

And now that the two of them have taken the initiative to hand over all the money they were greedy for, it's not like he can't let them go.

"Thank you, Master He!" The two of them were sweating profusely and felt relieved at this time.

He Maguan didn't say much, but looked at Ding Bao with eyes still full of boredom and disappointment.

Ma Cai just wanted to hide it from him, but Ding Bao had been following him for more than two years and actually hid it from him with outsiders. This was what made him most angry!

"Both of you, please be more honest with me from now on and don't think about things you shouldn't think about again!" He scolded in a low voice.

The two of them nodded repeatedly without daring to say a word.

"If anything like this happens from now on, I will share half of the money, and you three will share the remaining half." He Maguan had no intention of stopping this matter.

Even though he has some status in this battalion, military pay is not paid from time to time, so it would be best to have some extra money.

Ding Bao looked happy. He originally thought that since Master He knew about this in advance, he might never be able to make money again.

Now it seems there is still hope. Although the profit will be less, it is better than nothing.

Not to mention that with the participation of He Maguan, this matter can be safer.

"Okay, everyone, get out." He Maguan waved his hand.

Ma Cai and Ding Bao seemed to have received amnesty. Their steps were not big, but their speed was quite fast.

Chen Mo immediately stood up and wanted to leave, but He Maguan stopped him again.

"You should pay more attention to the matter of secretly selling manure in private, especially Ma Cai, and don't let him get into trouble again.

There are some connections in his family that will have to be transferred sooner or later. You still have to stay here with me to feed the horses. "He Majuan's tone softened slightly and he explained.

"Understood." Of course Chen Mo knew that even a little connection was a connection, and Ma Cai would not continue to suffer here for too long like the big soldiers like them.

He just wants to accumulate energy and blood in peace now, and does not want to cause other troubles.

"You can take this chicken back and eat it, and you can keep the money in private." He Maguan carefully counted out hundreds of copper coins from the cloth bag and handed them to Chen Mo.

"Hey!" He didn't refuse, carefully put the money in his arms, and carried the chicken back to his camp.

Ma Cai was lying on the bed resting with a stinking smell all over his body. Chen Mo, already accustomed to the smell in the surrounding air, tore off a fat chicken leg and ate it happily.

"Brother Mo is back." Seeing him coming back, Ma Cai hurriedly sat up from the bed.

"Master He also asked you to bring this chicken back!" When he said this, he couldn't help but swallow.

The treatment of grooms is much better than that of ordinary soldiers, but they rarely have meat to eat. On weekdays, they can only steal two eggs at most.

"Let's eat together. Just tell me what good things you have done." Chen Mo greeted warmly, pulling off a chicken wing and handing it to him.

"Do you know General Sun Shouren?" Ma Cai came over and lowered his voice.

Chen Mo shook his head slightly. He had only been here for a short time, and he didn't even fully understand the situation in the military camp.

"In a month or two, General Sun will come to us to recruit soldiers." He looked solemn, obviously thinking that what he said was true.

"Is this true? I have never heard of a general recruiting soldiers from the military camp."

Chen Mo's tone was slightly disbelieving, as he wanted to trick Ma Cai again.

The so-called personal soldiers, also known as troops, are the most important troops for a general.

Many times, whether you can win a battle depends on the number and strength of your soldiers.

As for personal soldiers, the most important thing is to be close to the general.

Generally speaking, they are either from the same clan or from the same hometown, and are basically related to the general himself.

As for recruiting soldiers directly from the military camp, few generals do this.

"You don't know this. As far as I know, General Sun won a great victory some time ago, but his soldiers suffered too many casualties. Therefore, I specifically request His Majesty to transfer us back to Xingyuan Prefecture for guarding and training.

General Sun is also from our Xingyuan Prefecture, so he chose his own soldiers from us. "Ma Cai leaned very close to Chen Mo and lowered his voice.

There are countless young men of the same race and country, and it is difficult to replenish them if they have been damaged too much at one time.

If you want to recruit soldiers, you can only expand the scope of recruitment, and then spend a longer time training soldiers.

"This matter is so important, how did you know about it?" Chen Mo expressed doubts.

The mobilization of troops and the appointment of generals can be said to be court secrets. How could Ma Cai know such secrets so easily.

"A distant cousin of mine is married to a soldier of General Sun. The court gave her a pension some time ago. I only found out about this after many inquiries from my family. You must not tell others."

The reason why Ma Cai only told Chen Mo but not others was because he had his own selfish motives.

Even if only a few of them were literate, it was rare among the big-headed soldiers.

Chen Mo might be able to be selected into the personal barracks based on his literacy. When the time comes, it would be better for the two of them to join together than to go in alone.

Even if Chen Mo fails to choose a personal soldier, with his literacy, it is unlikely that he will always suffer at the bottom.

Befriending him might help you in the future, and all you have to pay is news that someone will know sooner or later. It can definitely be regarded as a sure profit.

Chen Mo silently noted this in his heart. If he could become a private soldier, not only would his treatment be better, he would be able to accumulate energy and blood better, but most importantly, his status would also be improved.

When the time comes, he can figure out how to redeem Zhao Yu. Chen Mo always remembers this.

If he hadn't given him the money for selling himself, it would be unclear whether he was alive or dead.

I had promised the other party to help her redeem her life, so this must be done.
