Chapter 95 Shangyong County

When Xu Shu stepped into Auntie's bedroom, the maid beside Pei Peng was standing outside, slowly changing the incense for the censer, and after a while, a fresh orange fragrance with a little spicy smell slowly came out.

Xu Shu smelled the smell, turned around and asked the maid:

"Is Auntie very drunk? Do you want some hangover soup?"

"Return to Your Highness, I'm not too drunk, it's enough to wake up with some incense."

After drinking, Pei Peng didn't like to drink the hangover soup with medicinal taste, whether it was kudzu root, grass fruit, bamboo rut, or sophora flavescens, she didn't like it. Later, people around her found the solution of orange peel to hangover When Pei Peng was very drunk, he simmered it slowly and gave it to Pei Peng to drink.

However, in fact, there are not many times like this. Although Pei Peng loves wine, he doesn't overdo it, so more often he doesn't even need to drink soup, and he wakes up after smelling the aroma.

Xu Shu bypassed the screen and went in. Although Pei Peng was half-closed her eyes and asked to give her a massage, her expression was no longer drunk. When she heard the sound of footsteps, she knew it was her daughter who was coming. There is no such right to enter without communication.

"Come here? Are they all settled? That's all for the side, Mr. Wu is getting old, and he might feel uncomfortable after drinking, so he needs someone to watch over him.

And your father, the road was very bumpy, we went to the capital, and the imperial doctor came to check his pulse, only to find out that he actually has hyperactivity of liver yang.Alas, after all, I am not young anymore, and I have to pay attention to recuperation.

And Ah Song, although he is only a few months younger than you, he is born with frailty, a young gentleman, but his stature is so insufficient.He's new here, and we're not very familiar with him, so I'm afraid I'm not used to it and I'm embarrassed to mention it, so you should send someone more careful to take care of him.

......"

Pei Peng is not usually a nagging person, but after drinking, his eagerness to teach his daughter is unconsciously revealed.

Before, she always felt that these were trivial matters, and it was good to have someone to help her with all her heart. As her only child, Xu Shu needed too much effort to do, so there was no need to worry about it.

However, after the incident with the Shao family, Pei Peng changed his mind again. Even if he doesn't need to be more meticulous and thoughtful about human relationships, he should still show kindness, favor and respect. It's a bit blunt.

Pei Peng Xu asked, Xu Shu also sat on the edge and listened, the mother and daughter chatted for a while, after Pei Peng finished the massage, her mind became clearer, and Xu Shu explained some things that happened during this period that are not suitable for communication by letter Come one by one.

"So, the matter of the Tian family has not been clarified yet? There are so many people in the Tian family, is it possible that there is no one who can be pried away?"

Xu Shu was also a little dissatisfied with this. Someone in the Tian family had betrayed the country and fled. As a result, the Tian family was not subject to any substantial punishment except for some restraint and supervision.

"My daughter also wants to investigate thoroughly, but it's more difficult for Zhou County Magistrate. He said that the Tian family's in-laws are everywhere, and Chengyang County has to work hard to defend against the enemy these days, so there is no need to cause internal conflicts. But the A family was repelled. Later, County Magistrate Zhou said to wait a little longer."

Pei Peng recalled in his mind the social network around County Magistrate Zhou, and felt that he might not necessarily want to protect the Tian family.

It's just that he has no family background to be a backer, and he is an official in a different place. It is indeed difficult to fight against the local big family, especially since he just sent down a family some time ago, and targeting the Tian family seems to be a bit imminent.

But what's wrong with the Tian family, and what are the reasons for those few dogs who appeared suddenly, and they weighed heavily on the situation in Chengyang County. If you don't figure it out, you will be in danger every day.

Pei Peng took this matter to heart and was going to discuss it with Magistrate Zhou again. If he really didn't dare to act, then she would ignore him.

After all, this is her food town, and it is only natural for her to take care of someone colluding with foreigners.

Pei Peng thought of something again and asked:

"The prince you captured, is he still in our hands? After his people are beaten back, don't his parents plan to redeem him?"

Although whether she is willing to give is another matter, but the other's parents did not move, which still makes her feel weird.

Xu Shu shook her head:

"No, except for the time they made excuses to have a conflict with us, they mentioned it, and then there was no news. In fact, I still don't know whether they are trying to make a comeback, or whether they have given up completely."

"Then watch him dead, don't let him run away, and don't let him rob him."

After discussing the most important thing, Xu Shu has time to ask about other arrangements, such as:
"Auntie, it seems that we can make this wine, but Chengyang County is not suitable for large-scale planting of jujube trees. On the contrary, there is a barren mountain in Shangyong County next to it, where a lot of wild jujubes grow, and the taste is not bad, Yang Luo mentioned it to me."

And Shangyong County is actually one of Pei Peng's food towns, but the rewards of the food towns are also different.

For example, Chengyang County was the place where her status as a princess was officially sealed, so she could divide the territory and build a mansion here, and it was also one of her responsibilities to properly intervene in county affairs.

But the food towns in other places were all rewards given to her by her father. They were more of a false title, that is, she could get the tax revenue provided to her by the local government every year, but she had no management authority.

Although buying a piece of barren hills or even building a winery in the local area does not require her to completely control a county, it might be a good breakthrough.

After all, in her own heart, she really wanted to gradually erode Taizhou.

"Well...he has a very reasonable consideration. Since he wants to do this business, he must be prepared."

Pei Peng asked someone to go to her study to get a brochure, which recorded the situation of some major officials in Taizhou, and naturally they also had the identities of county magistrates.

Pei Peng flipped through a few pages, found the records of Shangyong County, and sighed, it was consistent with what she remembered, the magistrate of this county was actually a local.

Xu Shu poked her head to look, and also let out a "huh" in surprise.

"How did he become the county magistrate? Has no one cared about him?"

Xu Shu also knows a little about the family background. The county magistrate has always been appointed in a different place, but the local big clan is used to being the emperor of the earth, so of course they don't want someone to take care of them.

However, the appointment of the county magistrate must be recorded and archived in the Ministry of Personnel, and he must return to Beijing to report on his duties every few years. They would not take the risk of appointing one of their own children to be the county magistrate.

Therefore, the following methods are often adopted:
To win over a student from other places and help him become an official, it is naturally a puppet with a rope, and they are respected everywhere.

Help each other with good friends from other places. For example, your son is an official in our local area, and my son is an official in your local area.It neither violated the court's laws, nor affected its own power.

Or in a place like Chengyang County, the local big family is not that capable of pushing someone to become the county magistrate, so they firmly control the rest of the positions and let the county magistrate become a polished commander.

It can be considered that there are policies from above and countermeasures from below.

Xu Shu had never heard of such a simple and rude situation of letting a local person be the county magistrate.

She couldn't help but sigh again:
"It's too reckless, the folk customs of Taizhou are really extraordinary."

Pei Peng knew better, she explained to her daughter:
"That's what you think. The situation in Shangyong County is actually a special case after the local governor and the court reported it."

 Join v, I hope that everyone who has coins will hold a money market, and those who do not have coins will hold a personal market.
