Take the system back to the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 73 That's it
"The thief failed to succeed, and was pointed at by my subordinate's Yiyang... well, he was repelled by my subordinate, and the thief was also injured." Zhao Cheng was also a little embarrassed to brag.

"It's a pity...the thief still escaped, and I couldn't get a glimpse of the thief's face."

Lao Pei looked a little disappointed, twirling his beard and muttering: "The most regrettable thing is that Dong Dutou is not the one who attacked you, because since yesterday evening he has invited many people, and even invited a banquet in the county, and the banquet lasted till the end of the day." night."

Zhao Cheng was slightly taken aback.Lao Pei's appearance obviously trusts Zhao Cheng, and also suspects that there is something wrong with Dong Jianwu.

It's just that he is a judge in Guichi County, not a thief leader like Wang Ying, and he still needs a basis and reason for doing things.

Old Pei hesitated for a moment, "Your "Disarm Proposal" is relatively novel, and the visuals are very good. But the county will not agree now, do you understand what I mean?"

Zhao Cheng thought about it for a while: "Understood, Xianggong needs to maintain the pressure on Dong Jianwu and continue to observe his actions?"

"Ruzi can be taught."

Lao Pei said with a satisfied look, "This is risky for you, but since you want to do something and dare to do it, and you have the rumored stunt of self-defense, then don't think too much, don't be impatient, make a decision before acting. "

"I would like to follow my husband and make contributions."

Zhao Cheng didn't do it all for flattery. 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 are more people of this kind, and they gradually become bigger and have the right to speak, they may not even need industry. With the productivity of the Song Dynasty, it is not a problem at all to resist the Jurchens who will go south after more than ten years.

Pei Zhixian is quite satisfied with Zhao Cheng, and feels that he is a stable person, and he is not overjoyed by a few good comments.

Lao Pei felt lucky but also sighed with emotion. After all, he had been in Guichi County for some time, and he knew more and more about the people under the rule.But it doesn't make a difference, it's far from it!
For Lao Pei, the first priority needed to do things is people, not materials.

It's a pity that until now, there are only two people in Guichi County who fit Lao Pei's temper, Zhao Cheng and Zhang Ji.The only person who can really use it is Zhao Cheng.Zhang Ji is limited to being a woman, so she can't really make appointments, she can only make suggestions, but Lao Pei just doesn't need it.Therefore, only Zhang Ji's identity can be used.

In addition... Liu Qishan's tame fool is barely usable.

Besides, Pei Zhixian didn't know who to use.Sitting in this high hall as a special commissioner of the Central Committee looks dignified, but in fact, whether the decree can be passed to the county government has never been sure.

Basically, the big and small matters in Chizhou City are monopolized by the local wealthy families.

There are numerous gangs and the interests of the cottage, and they seem to be involved with several powerful families.What's more, the county lieutenant and master book were usually local officials rather than central officials.Under normal circumstances, they actually represent the different positions of the two wealthy families in Chizhou.

There is no indication of who is the real villain, but the rule since ancient times: once the interests are involved, the situation will always become very complicated.

On this issue, the issue of the magistrate of Pei County is also the issue of Cai You, the magistrate of the prefecture, and the political interests are the same.To put it simply, it is the central department against the local local tyrants.There is no doubt that the winning party will have greater voice and interests.

For this reason, Cai You specially transferred the Thunderbolt Qin Ming, who claims to be brave enough to be inappropriate, to sit in Chizhou a long time ago to rectify the army.But it seems that the effect is limited. Qin Ming, a brainless guy, lives in drunkenness and sleeps, eating on the running tables of the squires and rich people several times a day.The beauties who sleep with them can hardly cope with it and have to turn over the sign to sleep.

Regardless of character, Cai You is a thoughtful person in politics and has common interests with Peizhi County.Unfortunately, influenced by his family background, and because his father Cai Jing returned to the prime minister this spring, Cai You resolutely leaned on the side of political correctness.

In this regard, as time went by, it became useless for Cai You to send Qin Ming into Chizhou.The reason why a soldier can do things is because of the concept of changing defenses, because he does not work in his hometown and will not become a big dyeing workshop.

It's a pity that the Xiang Army is too useless and belongs to the Zhongshu Menxia series. After this period of wine and meat, Qin Ming is familiar with the Xiang Army, but he is basically in a semi-corrupted state with the squire.

It doesn't matter what Cai You thinks. In Lao Pei's opinion, the Xiang Army is basically abolished. It is no longer a question of whether it can be used, but it must not be used.If you really want to use them to do big things, it is almost inevitable to cause even bigger troubles.

Thinking of this while pacing with his subordinates behind his back, Lao Pei suddenly asked: "Zhao Cheng, how is your relationship with Bai Chenxiang from Yangshanzhai?"

"It's not bad. When making a judgment, she has no intention of submitting to the court for the time being, but she is a gentle person who wants to do things. She can be used." Zhao Cheng clasped his fists and said.

"If you don't want to submit, then there must be conditions. What are her conditions?" Pei Zhixian asked directly.

Zhao Cheng put away the nonsense, "She is different from ordinary bandits, and now she plans to take over the bitter mountain people around to join. Since there are so many people, she can no longer rely on robbery for a living, so she wants to mine ore in order to get supplies from Guichi County What does Xianggong think about this?"

Pei Zhixian was not in a hurry to express his opinion, and turned around to sit up again, "Don't ask the county. It's the county who asks you, your people, what do you think of her move?"

Zhao Cheng said: "The existence of copycats is not conducive to the credibility of the imperial court. However, given the current situation, the government cannot solve this problem for the time being. Then I suggest that when it is necessary to choose, choose the one with the least hostility to support it, so as to check and balance the rest. Copycat."

"The so-called law does not blame the public. In my interpretation of the law, the essence of the law is to fix the customary folk customs and the unsolvable phenomena that actually exist, and to break away from the gray area. Bai Chenxiang happens to belong to this 'grey' category. Suppose She can really gather the scattered and gentle mountain people to engage in production, which is actually equivalent to re-providing the productivity and taxes of our county."

But Lao Pei was not eager to praise.Yu thought about this problem several times quickly in his heart, but he couldn't find a better solution than Zhao Cheng for the time being, and he didn't find too many shortcomings of Zhao Cheng.

In the end, when Pei Zhixian got up to leave, he nodded slightly without saying anything.It was a tacit consent during a special period, and then he disappeared into the back hall.

Zhao Cheng understood that Lao Pei was actually a cruel official who couldn't rub his eyes.In his style, copycats will not be tolerated in the end.

Looking at the vision of people like Bai Chenxiang in Peizhi County, there is really a possibility of "all birds are hidden" in the later stage.

But this is not the point, the important thing is to solve the current problem first.As for whether Bai Chenxiang will eventually join the government, Zhao Cheng can slowly buffer it.If it doesn't work, luckily Chizhou Zhizhou is Cai You, not Pei Yancheng.

You can use Cai You's mentality of being politically correct and not causing trouble to balance Pei Yancheng's desire to hide everything from Bai Chenxiang.

There is one last possibility.Even Bai Chenxiang has changed, corrupted, and once again embarked on the road of no return.Of course, that is not worthy of appeasement. If Zhao Cheng, Pei Yancheng, and Cai You all want to exterminate her, then even if their cottage is legal, they really have a reason to disappear.

That's what politics is about.

The strange thing is that Zhang Ji waited in a courtyard outside and did not leave.

I almost saw Zhao Cheng coming out of the back hall, but he was hurriedly walking towards the duty room. After entering, he went to work and was reading a lot of various newspapers.

At this point, Zhang Ji hesitated, and stood for a while, but finally did not go in to disturb Zhao Cheng, turned around and left the county government...
