Chapter 74
"The thief failed and was beaten by the yang finger at the bottom... Uh, he was beaten back by the thief, and the thief was also injured." Zhao Cheng was also a little embarrassed when he bragged.
"It's a pity... I was still escaped by the thief and could not see the thief's face."
Lao Pei looked a little disappointed and murmured with his beard, "The most regrettable thing is that Dong Dutou is not the one who attacked you, because he had made an appointment with many people since yesterday evening and even invited the banquet in the county. The banquet lasted until the night."
Zhao Cheng was slightly stunned. Lao Pei obviously trusted Zhao Cheng in this way, and he also suspected that Dong Jianwu had any problems.
It’s just that he is a judge in Guichi County, not a thief like Wang Ying, so he still needs the basis and reason to do things.
Lao Pei hesitated for a moment, "Your "Defense Removal Suggestions" has a novel approach and a good visual experience. But this county will not agree now. Do you understand what I mean?"
Zhao Cheng thought for a moment and said, "I understand that my husband needs to maintain the pressure on Dong Jianwu and continue to observe his actions?"
"The son can teach."
Lao Pei said with satisfaction, "This is a risk to you, but since you want to do things and dare to do things, and there are also the rumored unique skills to defend yourself, then don't think too much, don't be impatient, plan and then move."
"I wish to follow my husband to make achievements."
Zhao Cheng was not entirely trying to flatter. In fact, Zhao Cheng found that Lao Pei was already a rare official in the Song Dynasty who dared to act. As long as there were more people like this and gradually became bigger and had a say, it might not even be necessary for industry. With the productivity of the Song Dynasty, it was not a problem to resist the Jurchens who went south after more than ten years.
County Magistrate Pei was quite satisfied with Zhao Cheng and felt that he was a stable person and did not feel as if he was so arrogant because of a few positive comments.
Lao Pei felt fortunate and sighed. In short, he had been to Guichi County for some time and had learned more and more about his governance. But he could not make any difference, and he was still far behind!
For Lao Pei, the first priority for doing things is people, not materials.
Unfortunately, there are only two people in Guichi County who meet Lao Pei's temper, Zhao Cheng and Zhang Ji. The only people who can really use it are Zhao Cheng. Zhang Ji is limited to women and cannot be appointed, so he can only make suggestions, but Lao Pei doesn't need it in this regard. Therefore, he can only use Zhang Ji's identity.
In addition... Liu Qishan, a fool who is mixed with the slut, can barely be considered half a useful one.
Apart from this, Magistrate Pei didn't know who he could use. As a central commissioner, he sat in this high hall and looked noble. In fact, it was never sure whether the government order could be left or not.
Basically, all matters in Chizhou City are monopolized by several local tyrants.
The interests of gangs and parodies seem to be together with several major tyrants. What's more, the county magistrates and chief clerks are usually local officials rather than central officials. In general, they actually represent the different positions of the two major tyrants in Chizhou.
There is no sign of who is the real bad guy, but the rules since ancient times: once interests are involved, the situation will always be very complicated.
On this issue, the issue of County Magistrate Pei is also the issue of Cai You, the magistrate. The political interests are consistent. Simply put, it is the central department that confronts the local tyrants. The winner will have greater voice and interests, which is undoubtedly.
For this reason, Cai You specially transferred a thunder fire, which claimed to be a tyrant of thousands of people, to take charge of Chizhou and rectify the army. However, the effect seemed to be limited. Qin Ming, a brainless thing, was drunk and dreaming, and had to eat the flowing tables of the gentry and rich people a few times a day. The beauties who contributed to sleeping almost couldn't handle it and had to flip the sign to sleep.
If you don’t mention character, Cai You is a politically thoughtful person and has common interests with County Magistrate Pei. Unfortunately, due to family education, and because his father Cai Jing returned to the prime minister this spring, Cai You decisively leaned towards the politically correct side. The main body was maintaining stability and did not want to cause major events, so he tried to pull things up.
As time goes by, Cai You sent Qin Ming into Chizhou and became useless. The reason why a soldier could do things was because of the concept of changing defense was because he did not work in his hometown and would not become a large dyeing workshop.
Unfortunately, because the Xiang army was too aborted, it belonged to the Zhongshu Menseille series. There was a wine pool and meat forest during this period. Although Qin Ming was familiar with the Xiang army, he was basically in a semi-corrosive state with the squire.
It doesn't matter how Cai You thinks. In Lao Pei's opinion, the Xiang army is basically abandoned. It is no longer a question of whether it is usable, but it cannot be used. It is almost inevitable that you really want to use them to do big things and cause bigger chaos.
Thinking of this, Lao Pei suddenly asked, "Zhao Cheng, how are you getting along with Bai Chenxiang in Yangshanzhai?"
"It's okay. If you make a judgment, she has not been able to submit to the court for the time being, but she is a gentle person who wants to do things, so you can use it." Zhao Cheng clasped his fists and said.
"Since I don't have the intention to surrender, there must be conditions. What are her conditions?" County Magistrate Pei asked very directly.
Zhao Cheng put away the nonsense, "She is different from ordinary bandits. Now she plans to take over the miserable mountain people around her. Since there are too many people, she cannot make a living by robbery. So she wants to mine ore so that she can get supplies from Guichi County. What does her husband think about this?"
County Magistrate Pei was not in a hurry to express his opinion, and turned around and sat down, "Don't ask this county. But this county asked you, your people, what do you think of her behavior?"
Zhao Cheng said: "The existence of a copycat is not conducive to the credibility of the court. However, in the general environment, the government cannot solve this problem for the time being. So let me suggest that if you have to choose, you should choose the one with the least serious evil to support it to check and balance the other copycats."
"The so-called law does not punish the masses. In the following interpretation of the law, the essence of the law is to fix the customs and phenomena that are actually existing and cannot be solved, and to leave the gray area. White agarwood happens to belong to this 'gray' category. Assuming that she can really concentrate the scattered mild mountain people to produce, it is actually equivalent to re-providing the productivity and taxes of our county."
Lao Pei was not in a hurry to praise him. He thought about this question quickly several times in his mind. He couldn't find a better way than Zhao Cheng, nor did he find too many complaints about Zhao Cheng.
In the end, when Magistrate Pei stood up and left, he nodded slightly. It was a tacit consent during a special period, and then he entered the back hall and disappeared.
Zhao Cheng understood that Lao Pei was actually a cruel official who couldn't rub the sand. With his style, he would not tolerate copycats in the end.
In terms of the vision of people like Bai Chenxiang in County Pei, there is really a possibility of "the birds are all hidden in the bow" in the later period.
But this is not the point. The important thing is to solve the current problem first. As for whether Bai Chenxiang will eventually surrender to the government, Zhao Cheng can slowly cushion it. If it really doesn't work, fortunately, the magistrate of Chizhou is Cai You, not Pei Yancheng.
We can take advantage of Cai You's political correctness and not cause trouble to balance Pei Yancheng's thoughts of holding the white agarwood bird with all his bows.
There is another last possibility. That is, Bai Chenxiang has also changed, corroded, and embarked on the road of no return. Of course, it is not worth tolerating. If Zhao Cheng, Pei Yancheng, and Cai You want to destroy her at all, then even if their copycats are legal, they will really have a reason to disappear.
Politics is just that.
What’s strange is that Zhang Ji, who was waiting specifically for a courtyard outside, didn’t leave.
It was almost like Zhao Cheng coming out of the back hall, but he hurriedly walked towards the shift room. After entering, he started working and was reading a lot of newspapers.
As a result, Zhang Ji hesitated and stood for a while. In the end, he didn't go in to disturb Zhao Cheng, and turned around and left the county government...
