Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

"But sir, isn't this a bit against the rules?"

"Besides, the imperial court has clearly stated that those who cross the border without permission or cross the border will be sentenced to two years in prison."

"In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I think it is better for you to report to the imperial court first, and then we can conduct transactions with several surrounding vassal states."

After the warrior Yu finished speaking, he lowered his head and did not dare to look at Chu Mo.

After hearing what the other party said, he just wanted a trade certificate from the court, Chu Mo suddenly became a little confused.

I just wanted to scold him for having to use his own brain for such a small thing.

But out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Li Junxian and Wang Dahai looking at him with the same eyes.

Chu Mo instantly understood that the other party did not want any proof from the court. This was obviously testing his own bottom line.

If I really follow their wishes and report to the court, it will prove that everything I said is empty talk.

A small amount of material trade is still tied up and fearful. If you want to do something else in the future, wouldn't it mean that you have to stare at other people's eyes every day?

But if I don't follow their suggestions and report to the court, will they think that I have no respect for the court at all?

Thinking of this, Chu Mo scratched his head. How could he convince them so that they would feel that they were not bound by the imperial court but would not think that he had any treason?

As he thought about it, Chu Mo felt irritable for no reason.

I used to do things as I thought, completely at my whim.

But now that there are these three people, there is a feeling of being tied up.

By the way, their hands are tied. They are testing themselves now. If they really act according to their ideas, wouldn't they be bound by them?

After figuring out the key, Chu Mo snorted coldly and said to the warrior Xun:

"Lao Wu, why are you so slow in doing things? You are afraid of wolves before and tigers behind. If everyone is like you, then do you still want to do this?"

"If you feel that I have violated the court's laws, you can refuse directly. At worst, I will find someone else to do it."

When the warrior Xun heard that Chu Mo was angry, he immediately became anxious.

He had objected to this plan before, but Li Junxian insisted on testing Chu Mo.

Now that Chu Mo is angry, Warrior Yu can't wait to make some big talk about himself.

What the hell, my current relationship with Chu Mo is the best among them, why would I bother to get into this troubled water?

But there is no medicine for regret in the world. Words spoken are like water thrown out. Now that you have said it, you must find a way to undo it.

"Sir, that's not what I meant. I'm just worried that if the court finds out, they will reprimand you."

Chu Mo curled his lips and said with disdain:

"The court rebuked me? What did they reprimand me for? Did I feed the 100 million shi of food to the dogs?"

"They have confiscated so much food from me. If I don't find a way to get some from other places, will I have to make all the people in my fief eat dirt?"

"Besides, the imperial court issued an order this time for us to recruit troops on our own. Firstly, we were not given quotas, and secondly, we were not provided with food and salary. All military supplies had to be purchased from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War. This is obviously an order for me to help the imperial court raise troops. "

"Let me contribute money and effort to raise troops for the imperial court, and they will just sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor?"

"Everyone knows how to make abacus, but I don't know if they think Chu Mo is a fool, or if they think they've got me."

"Since they don't act according to common sense and don't want any face at all, then why should I, Chu Mo, bother with them so much? I'm not a good man or woman. Shouldn't I, Chu Mo, be allowed to be in the first grade of junior high school if they are only allowed to do so? Five?"

After speaking, Chu Mo glanced at the three people and said:

"I'll stop talking today. Since you have chosen to board Chu Mo's pirate ship, it is already too late to get off."

"Either we advance and retreat together, or we die together without a burial place."

When the three of them heard this, they all looked at Chu Mo in shock, fearing that the other party's next sentence would be: "I want to rebel."

As if he saw what Jin was thinking, Chu Mo raised the corners of his mouth slightly and continued:

"I don't have any big ambitions. I just want three meals a day, enough food and clothing, and a life of prosperity and wealth."

"I have said before that I have no interest in that position at all. Whether you believe it or not, I will say this for the last time today."

The three of them looked at each other, and finally Wang Dehai stood up and saluted Chu Mo:

"How can we not believe what you say, sir? However, this foreign trade matter is a serious matter. Are you really not going to report it to the court?"

"Whoever wants to report it should do so. I'm not going to say it anyway."

Chu Mo pretended to be indifferent and said, then looked at Wang Dehai and said:

"I know you like to make snitches, and I'm not afraid of what you might say to Li Shimin. As long as he is brave enough, then you can let him come to Lingnan to find me."

"If you feel that you are not capable enough or are not competent for the things I have arranged today, then just say so directly. In the worst case, I will just replace you."

After saying that, regardless of the entangled three people, Chu Mo continued:

"Lao Wu will take care of the food matters. In a word, before the spring of next year, all the granaries in my fiefdom will be filled."

When the warrior heard this, he immediately asked nervously:

"Sir, how many granaries do you have here?"

Chu Mo shook his head: "I don't know about this either. You have to ask Li Ke, but as far as I know, this granary is still under construction so far."

"So Lao Wu, in the future, your food collection speed will have to be much faster than this construction speed to complete the task I gave you."

Warrior Xun looked at Chu Mo with a look of despair. Could he say that he didn't want to take this job?

But if he really said this, he believed that he might not be able to leave the Governor's Mansion today.

With a sigh, Warrior Xun stood aside obediently, ready to continue listening to Chu Mo's teachings.

Sure enough, after Chu Mo arranged for the warrior Xun, he looked at Li Junxian again.

"Jun Xian, you are the only person in my fiefdom who can shoulder the responsibility of general, so I will leave the recruitment matter to you."

"The 5000 places given by the imperial court before, plus the 20000 people planned this time, make a total of 25000 people. I hope you can complete the recruitment before spring."

"In addition, in addition to recruiting soldiers, you are also responsible for training them into an army. This is also a top priority."

"After the meeting is over, I will arrange for someone to be your deputy to help you train together."
