Pei Shiqing began to adapt to the rhythm. It was obvious that this person was a little dissatisfied with the situation in Shangdang, and it was difficult to find fault with him as a county guard. After all, how long had he been here in Shangdang? So while talking, he added some
Stab it in.
This is nothing. Sheriff Pei's face is one of the best. Even Li Po hasn't found out yet. Where did he go from here?
At the right time, he gave a wry smile and said, "If Shangdang really is a peach blossom land, I would rather be a savage in the peach land who doesn't know the world. Unfortunately, there are many difficulties here, and I have only just arrived. I often feel that I don't know how to start, and I am afraid that I have failed the master's trust...
…”
"This morning, I heard that the lord was stationed in Xiangyuan, thunder was rising from the wind, and everyone was consecrated in the evening, but it was like an enlightenment, and the ministers were enlightened. To rectify the chaos, you should use heavy regulations. If you tie your hands and feet, when will peace be achieved...
I may have spoken many lies or made some mistakes, but I hope your lord will forgive me."
Li Po blinked his eyes and involuntarily put on the horse's reins, causing the war horse to shake its head and neigh twice. At the same time, he also murmured in his heart, are you worthy of the reputation of the Hedong Pei family for being such a scumbag? Are you worthy of your status as the leader of the clan?
?
Obviously, Pei Shiqing was voicing his own doubts, but he didn't say it clearly. Think about it, just after he joined the Shangdang, he killed the Xiangyuan County Lieutenant and the chief secretary. As the prefect of Shangdang, it would be too much to pretend that nothing happened.
That's right.
It's just that he asked more skillfully...
Li Po looked around casually. Zhang Lun was riding on the horse, scratching his beard and talking to Luo Shixin, as if he was not interested in the conversation at all.
Li Po rubbed his nose and smiled, "The county governor is overly worried. With the current situation, he is still talking about using heavy codes in troubled times. If everyone continues to fight, I'm afraid it won't work. What you told me before is just reasonable and reasonable. There is no need to change your mind.
, It’s just some people from Shangdang who don’t respect heaven and earth, don’t believe in gods and Buddhas, and don’t have the compassion like you.”
"Such people are also a scourge for officials. We must get rid of them as much as possible. Otherwise, the place surrounded by mountains will not be as good as a paradise, but it will become a place where tigers and wolves are rampant. How can you and I tolerate it?"
Like Li Po, Pei Shiqing pondered for a moment and understood the hidden meaning of these words. Shangdang Changping is different from other places. It is a truly barren place with not much arable land. Now eight out of ten
Nine of them are in the hands of local officials.
In other words, under the name of the local big family, what they did is very clear, which is to take advantage of the war to occupy a place and arbitrarily embezzle people's land, and then use the convenience to escape labor and military service, plus
It is located in a remote place and forms a world of its own, so the situation becomes more and more intense. Yan Zong and Lu Haoran are actually the leaders.
This kind of thing can happen elsewhere, but it is most obvious in Shangdang and Changping counties...
Pei Shiqing believed that he would not misunderstand. The matter of farming and mulberry cultivation was the foundation of the country. Since he started the army, in addition to his sharp military armor, he was the most praised person. What is also the most surprising is that he made Daizhou border commander
The granary became abundant.
Nowadays, the southern counties have to rely on Bingdai for relief, which was unimaginable before.
And since he led his troops to the south, he has also attached great importance to farming... Therefore, what happened in Xiangyuan County also has a reason.
Thinking of this, Pei Shiqing felt relieved, because this was not inconsistent with his policy measures. After some time, he was also planning to clean up the place, but the method would definitely not be so violent.
.
In fact, in his opinion, there were not many wealthy local families left in Shangdang. At the beginning, some people suffered disaster when Zhang Lun joined Shangdang.
Later, there was another banditry. In Lucheng, all the wealthy families in Tunliu were killed or fled. That idiot Yan Zong sat in the county seat, recruiting surrenders, recruiting rebels, and accepting offerings. He thought he had a plan, but in fact he was dead.
The place of execution without knowing it.
At the beginning of the year, another war passed, Yan Zong was proclaimed, and the people he protected were also purged. Now some people in Xiangyuan have lost their heads. Think about it, how many obstacles are left to bring peace to the party?
Thinking of this, Pei Shiqing couldn't help but smile, "I have written down the words of my lord Jin Yu."
Li Po snorted and said to himself, it would be better if you really understood it, so he changed the subject and said: "Normally, with your ability, you can govern the Shangdang. Changping has some talents, but the world is full of people and talents are scattered, so it can only
I hope you can manage your affairs here with peace of mind and don't worry about anything else."
Pei Shiqing was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and finally felt a little grateful in his heart.
Thinking that Pei Shiqing would return to his hometown and succeed the Pei family in Hedong, he actually no longer had much ambition to compete with others. He only wanted to educate the children of the clan and make them successful in his later years.
But the world gradually became chaotic. He was demoted for writing a letter against the conquest of Liaodong, but the Sui Dynasty also died because of this. Li Yuan led his troops south. He had to accept the title of Duke of Xi County and serve as the prefect of Jiangjun, and he refused twice
Recruitment in Chang'an.
To make matters worse, the Turks who frightened him did not come to Jiangjun, but a hero came out of Daizhou. He conquered the three counties of Daizhou, defeated Luo Yi in Youzhou, and fell into Jinyang. He raised his troops and went south, almost overwhelming.
Li Shentong's 300,000 troops were wiped out in the blink of an eye.
He had no choice but to consider his family, so he raised Jiang County and surrendered, changing the hall several times, which can be said to be a loss of reputation.
Now he has left Jiangjun to govern the two counties of Dang and Changping. What is the reason for the hard work? It is definitely not for the high official position and generous salary...
Now, Li Po's inspection tour of Shangdang can be described as menacing. What he is worried about is not what Shangdang is doing, but Li Po's attitude towards the Pei family in Hedong.
This was his concern when he was in Jiangjun, and it was no different when he arrived in Shangdang. The Pei family in Hedong had a prosperous family, with many of his children serving as officials everywhere, and many of them were well-known in the world.
What he has been worried about is that the owner of the Jin land loses patience and takes action against the Pei family. The Wang family in Jinyang is a lesson learned from the past.
And the Pei family is destined not to cut off their retreat and serve the family like the Wang family. This is both the strength of the Pei family and the place where the Pei family is controlled by others.
So now that I heard this sentence and tasted it, Pei Shiqing was naturally happy.
Because the words not only affirmed his talents and knowledge, but also meant to appease Mr. Pei. When I was in Jiangjun, I spent a lot of time with this person, but I couldn't get such a heartfelt word...
In an instant, Pei Shiqing's heart changed a lot, and he vaguely understood that this person had already become the king, and there was the Yellow River, Taixing could rely on it, and as the borders gradually consolidated, would there be more places relying on the Pei family in the future?
With such a guess, Pei Shiqing said: "Wind and snow can pass the front, but there are actually people who come after me... I am so old that I can still be used so highly by my lord... What's more, there are many talented people in the world, and my lord's reputation is gradually becoming more and more important.
On this occasion, why worry about talented people not coming to join us?"
"I don't want to talk about other things, but I will say that under the rule of the minister, it has been the residence of heroes since ancient times. The soldiers in Shangdang and Changping are also the choice of elite soldiers. The lord only needs to give the minister a few days, and the minister will definitely recommend to the lord some talents.
"
Li Po nodded repeatedly, "That's good. With the power of the county guard, I won't talk about fishing in the lake and boiling the people's resentment."
Pei Shiqing stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "When a storm arises, those who are able to fight for the top are all strong men. The people here are strong and strong, so it is not difficult to find them. Do you think so, my lord?"
Li Po laughed loudly, "So, we are all strong men?"
At this moment, Zhang Lun came up with his beard trembling, "Your Majesty, in response to the hope of everyone, drives heroes. How can this king call himself a strong man?"
Li Po subconsciously wanted to slap him. I'm trying to calm people's minds. Why are you, a bearded man, joining in the fun?
But after all, Zhang Lun is not Cheng Zhijie. He has a lot of thoughts, but his ability to lead troops is not trivial, and he will definitely be able to rely on him as his arm in the future.
He suppressed the impulse, but venom immediately spewed out from his mouth, "I haven't seen you for a long time. General Zhang's tongue has improved a lot. Maybe he has improved his knowledge after spending time with Governor Pei?"
Zhang Lun laughed sarcastically, and Luo Shixin slapped him from the side, "Don't let the toddler group talk, otherwise I won't be able to hold back my fists."
As you and I spoke, the atmosphere gradually became more cheerful, and the laughter was endless. There was an atmosphere of harmony between the king and his ministers. When the people from the county who followed saw it, their faces gradually became more relaxed.
It was a pity that I couldn't compliment the King of Han when he was happy. Of course, with Xiangyuan's affairs at hand, even if there was such an opportunity, I'm afraid no one would dare to talk unscrupulously in front of Li Po.
As he spoke, the county city was already in sight, and Pei Shiqing began to introduce the origin of the county city and the surrounding scenic spots to Li Po.
What Li Po thought was actually correct. Shangdang's county administration had changed several times, but it was always near Huguan. It was both a county administration and a fortress, far across from Changping Pass in the south of Yangchang.
Just by looking at this posture, you can actually understand that the two counties are neighbors, but they are divided into two places.
Shangdang in the north is very important to the Shan Dynasty. Naturally, we have to guard against people coming from south to north and entering Shangdang through Changping. However, Changping has a narrow road leading to Hebei. Once the forces separatist Hebei get here, they can
To spy on the land of Jin, Changping Pass was established to prevent northerners from going south.
Therefore, most of these two basins only play a role in the internal strife in the Central Plains. Of course, if Jin or Hebei is occupied by the Beihu, their power can be contained here, but in fact most of them have nothing to do with the overall situation.
Since ancient times, Qin and Zhao fought a great battle here, and other battles were insignificant, which shows the embarrassment of its strategic position.
But there is something good here. There are countless places with excellent scenery, and the mountain forest resources are even more abundant. If Li Po's first stop when he went south was Shangdang, there might not be any Han kings, and there would only be more in the woods.
A self-sufficient hunter emerges.
Of course, Li Po, who came to Shangdang County this time, was not interested in the scenery, nor would he go hunting in the mountains and forests for fun. There was actually only one thing he had to do, and that was to appease the people and let Shangdang,
The two counties of Changping only knew his name as King of Han.
