After thinking for a moment, Gao Yuran made up his mind.
smiled and said:
"It's a small matter."
She agreed and made her attitude clear.
In her opinion, even if these two villages did not offend Huang An, they should be taken under her disciples' command.
But Huang An never expected that Gao Yuran was talented and had great ambitions.
She suddenly changed the subject.
"How is your senior sister doing in Feng'an County?"
She asked Zhao Yan about being the county magistrate in Feng'an City.
"Ah?" Huang An looked surprised.
"Master, you don't know?"
"Haha!" Gao Yuran suddenly smiled helplessly and waved to the three people behind her.
“Just do the work!”
She seemed to want to talk to Huang An for a while, but she didn't want her servants to know.
Qian Hui and the other two respectfully resigned.
Huang An followed his wife to a pavilion, and the two of them sat down.
Gao Yuran stared at Huang An, smiled again, and poured Huang An a cup of tea himself.
"To be honest, I am also a mother for the first time. I don't know how to get along with Yan'er and Le'er. Therefore, I have never had the chance to ask about things in Feng'an City. Can you tell me?"
Huang An suddenly smiled and understood immediately.
An eighteen-year-old daughter and a stepmother in her thirties.
There is really no good way to quickly enhance the relationship between the two parties.
Moreover, it has only been three days since the mistress married into the Zhao family. Where can I find the opportunity and time to ask these official questions?
"Disciple, tell me everything you know."
After Huang An thanked his wife for the tea, he immediately informed his wife about what happened in Feng'an City.
After all, there is not much that cannot be revealed here.
He said it without any psychological burden.
After hearing that Huang An and Zhao Yan entered the city, they immediately listed the aristocratic families in the city as targets for attack.
Gao Yuran was slightly surprised, but he did not ask questions immediately. Instead, he kept praising him and continued to listen attentively.
“Well done!”
As Huang An told the story, Gao Yuran had more questions in his mind, but he became more and more satisfied with Huang An and Zhao Yan's methods.
After about two-quarters of an hour, Huang An basically finished talking about everything.
He noticed the doubts and contemplation on his wife's face, but did not take the initiative to ask questions.
"Is this method too harsh?"
After a long time, Gao Yuran finally spoke up.
"I'm talking about the methods used against the aristocratic families in the city."
Seeing that Huang An didn't quite understand, she added another sentence.
After all, she also comes from a noble family.
Huang An's methods against the families in Feng'an City really gave her chills.
Although in her eyes, there is no family in the small county town of Feng'an City that she can look at in a different light.
But as they both come from aristocratic families, she naturally stands on their side.
Huang An pondered for a moment, and through the expression on the Master's wife's face, he quickly understood the reason why the Master asked such a question.
He pondered for a moment and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked:
"How does the mistress view the position of county magistrate?"
Gao Yuran was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't understand why Huang An asked this question, he quickly answered:
"Peace the people and govern the world." Her answer was brief, but it basically explained the responsibilities of the county magistrate.
Huang An suddenly smiled.
"What kind of people is this people?"
"Of course I will rule all the people!" Gao Yuran did not hesitate.
"Haha." Huang An suddenly smiled.
He obviously didn't agree with Gao Yuran's answer.
Gao Yuran naturally heard it. She frowned slightly and stared at Huang An, waiting for Huang An's answer.
"Have you ever seen a county magistrate who can guarantee that all the people under his rule can live and work in peace and contentment? Those who live in peace are nothing more than big families, landowners, officials and their families. Those who live in peace are not just ordinary people in Guizhou."
"There are few people who live in peace, but many who live in peace!" Huang An's expression became much more solemn.
Gao Yuran looked surprised. She suddenly wanted to refute inexplicably, but she couldn't find the reason for the moment.
Because what Huang An said is true.
She had already learned from Huang An's mouth what kind of life the ordinary people in Feng'an City lived in the past.
I feel angry in my heart, but since I haven’t seen it with my own eyes or even experienced it myself, I naturally can’t empathize with it.
Huang An asked again, "Judging from this, is this county magistrate competent for his job?"
"This..." Gao Yuran was completely stunned by the question.
"Probably, it shouldn't count, right?"
She is just a martial artist, so why would she think about such profound questions?
Huang An showed pity on his face. He took a sip of tea and sighed:
"In the eyes of big families and big landowners, Feng'an City is full of singing and dancing. In the eyes of the people in Guizhou, everything there is hell."
"At least, that's what my senior sister and I saw in Feng'an City."
Gao Yuran didn't speak for a long time.
At this moment, she seemed to feel the pain of the people in Guizhou.
After a while, she continued:
"What do you think? The killing spree in Feng'an City is just for the people in the head of Guizhou? But what can this bring to you and Feng'an City? Aren't the people in the head of Guizhou still living a hard life now? Still not.
Is farming just work?”
"They farm, but they still have to pay food taxes, and they still have to work for the government."
Gao Yuran had 10,000 puzzles in his heart.
In her opinion, everything Huang An and Zhao Yan did in Feng'an City was no different from wasting effort.
Feng'an City is still the same Feng'an City.
The people in Guizhou Province in the city are still working and farming.
The conversation between the two of them had already started to get skewed since they sat in this pavilion.
But actually, it's not crooked.
Huang An laughed loudly, shook his head and said with a smile: "Master's wife has never been to the current Feng'an City!"
When Huang An said this, his eyes lit up.
"Now the common people in Feng'an City laugh more times a day than all the people in the past combined. They farm and work with light in their eyes and energy in their hearts."
"They have their own fields, and we collect less taxes. And the more food they can keep every year."
Huang An's expression suddenly became much more serious.
"More food means that the population in Feng'an City will also increase. The number of cattle, horses, sheep, pigs and other livestock will naturally increase. The more people there are under our rule, the more power my senior sister, master and I can use.
Bigger!”
Huang An made no secret of his ambitions.
Of course, there is no need to hide it.
He and Zhao Yan were using their powers as county magistrates to expand the power of the Zhao government.
Mistresses who come from aristocratic families understand this truth better.
Why did the aristocratic family want to annex land, increase the number of serfs under their control, and become big landowners?
Is it really just for food and money?
Of course not, but the manpower that can be mobilized.
Gao Yuran, who had been sitting quietly, seemed to have thought of something. He sat up suddenly and looked at Huang An with a look of shock on his face.
"You guys, do you want to bring the entire Liming people of Feng'an City under your command and command them like an arm?"
This is something Gao Yuran has never thought of.
Of course, she didn't have the opportunity or qualification to think about such things in the past.
The master's wife's reaction actually shocked Huang An.
The master's wife stood up, so naturally it was not easy for him to sit still.
He also stood up, but looked confused.
He didn't understand his wife's reaction, but it was a bit too much now.
"My senior sister is the county magistrate of Feng'an City. All the people in Feng'an City, whether they are family landlords or beggars, have always been under the rule of my senior sister. Why is my senior sister so surprised?"
