Pengfu!
"I've seen Peng Dongjia!" Governor Yao Shi Guxin bowed a little deeply. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Peng Qi was flattered and stepped forward to help, and said, "Why is Lord Changshi like this? ”
The history of the governor of the state, the status is exalted. In the Tang Dynasty, the history of many state capitals was led by the prince or hung in the air, and most of the governors were the first leaders of the state capitals, just like Shi Luyu, the original mayor of Jincheng.
Yaozhou has a special status and has placed the history of assassination, Gu Xin's status is slightly inferior, but he is also the second in command in Yaozhou. And Peng Qi is just a landlord and a gentry, although he is famous, he has no official position. The status of the two cannot be counted by reason at all.
Gu Xin's gift, Peng Qi couldn't afford it.
There was a hint of abuse in Peng Qi's eyes, but he said with a shocked look on his face: "Gu Changshi is tormented." ”
Gu Xin is responsible for the livelihood of the people in Yaozhou, and the grain is controlled by him. The poisonous policy of destroying the fields and killing the people in Tibet was too ruthless. Many people in the state relied on the imperial court for relief. Now that the imperial court's grain and grass have been destroyed, the surrounding state capitals can't prepare much food for a while. New support needs to be brought from Guanzhong, and it is difficult to save the fire from far water.
Nowadays, most of the people in the city eat gruel to feed their stomachs, and they are barely able to make ends meet. If this continues, the gruel will be gone, and the hardship of the people will be at an extreme.
Gu Xin looked at the people one by one, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, so he decided to promote the policy of gathering grain, gathering the grain of the whole city in one place, and distributing it evenly to the people of the state capital, so as to get through such difficulties together.
The implementation of this policy must first be supported by the local gentry. For the sake of the people of Yaozhou, Gu Xin put down his identity as the governor of the state and visited the gentry of Yaozhou one by one.
Gu Xinwei was like this, and he moved some of the gentry with conscience, revealing that Peng Qi had food at home.
bowing to the gentry, Gu Xin was also very depressed in his heart, but for the sake of the people in the state capital, all the grievances were endured.
Gu Xindao: "I heard that there is surplus grain in Pengdong's house, and the state government intends to collect it from the owner at a price higher than double the market amount. "It is a crime to sell grain at a high price, but the state government collects it at a high price, but it is within the etiquette law.
Peng Qi's face changed, and he said, "Who did Gu Changshi listen to?" Now that the state capital is in trouble, we, as the people of the Tang Dynasty, should work together to tide over the difficulties at this time of crisis. If there is grain in my house, I have already opened a warehouse to release grain to help the people, why do I need to beg for it so much! ”
Gu Xin's face was a little embarrassed, and he said angrily: "Then the Peng Dong family is willing to support the return of grain?" A hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and he decided that if Peng Qi repeatedly refused, even if he accompanied his official position, he would have to face Peng Qi head-on.
Unexpectedly, Peng Qi replied extremely cheerfully, and said: "The family and the country are in trouble, and Qi should support what Changshi wants." All the food in the house was dispatched by Gu Changshi. ”
Peng Qi's "reasonableness" made Gu Xin feel ominous.
Under the leadership of Peng Qi, Gu Xin came to Peng Qi's grain depot, looking at the almost empty grain depot, and felt powerless in his heart.
Sending Gu Xin away, Peng Qi had a mocking sneer on his face: Through gift-giving, he can sell a stone of rice for more than 20 times the price, twice the price, and send it to Huazi!
At the same time, Pei Min also walked into Yaozhou.
However, Pei Min at this moment is not Pei Min himself, but a rough northerner man, in his thirties, thick eyebrows and big eyes, high nose and wide mouth, with a square face of Chinese characters.
That day, when he told Pei Mu that Jiao Chen was good at disguise, Pei Min thought of this, his identity is special, there are many things, he can't deal with them in person, and he needs one or several identities to facilitate his actions. This is Jiao Chen, let alone one, even if it is twenty or fifty, it is not a problem.
With his status in the court, it is not too easy to forge an identity and get a resume.
Anytime, anywhere, he can get a character with official credentials to make it easier for him to act.
Now his name is Qiao Feng, which is Qiao Feng in Tianlong Babu, and he is one of his favorite novel characters. Even his appearance is disguised by Jiao Chen according to his appearance, but it's a pity that he won't descend the dragon eighteen palms, otherwise it would be Qiao Feng No. 2.
With a real pass, Pei Min, who is alias Qiao Feng, walked into the depressed Yaozhou City.
He specially came here in disguise in order to understand the situation here as an ordinary person before taking over, so that when he succeeded, he could prescribe the right medicine.
Yaozhou City was originally Zhongzhou, with the convenience of Jiuqu in Hexi, animal husbandry is developed, and it is also a rare horse breeding land in the Tang Dynasty. However, because Hexi Jiuqu fell into the hands of Tubo, Yaozhou's advantage was no longer there, and it was disturbed by Tubo, and gradually became Xiazhou. In recent years, it has been attacked by Tibet nine times, and the depression in the city has been even worse. If it weren't for the government's death and prohibiting the people and gentry from moving, the situation would have been even more severe.
Pei Min couldn't imagine that the situation in Yaozhou was so serious, and his heart was a little heavy. With his strategic vision, he has seen the strategic significance of Yaozhou to Tubo, even if Yaozhou is a chicken land for the Tang Dynasty, it cannot be taken away by Tubo.
Thinking in his heart, Pei Min planned to go to the tavern in the city first to take a look and listen to the sound of the peddler's pawn.
Looking at the wine sign that I could see from afar, I saw that the door of the tavern was locked and the door was messy, which showed that the tavern had not been open for a long time.
Pei Min caught a passer-by: "This brother, may I ask why the door of this tavern is locked?" Is there a liquor store in the city? ”
Passers-by glanced at Pei Min with a few dishes, and said: "This hero is from out of town, this Yaozhou doesn't even have enough food to eat, where is there any surplus grain to make wine, all the taverns in the city were closed a year ago." ”
Pei Min realized that the situation in Yaozhou was more serious than he imagined, and asked, "Is there still a grain store in the city?" I'm going to buy some rice and go on the road......"
Passers-by: "You go to the Longjia rice store on the corner of the street to take a look, he is the largest rice store in our Yaozhou, if there is no surplus food in the Longjia rice store, Yaozhou is really finished." ”
Passers-by's faces were filled with worry about the unknown.
Pei Min said: "Brother Tai, rest assured, Datang is here, and Yaozhou can't be finished." ”
Under the instruction of passers-by, Pei Min walked to the Longjia rice shop.
Before he entered the store, he heard the shopkeeper say: "Gu Changshi, you are too polite." In business, my boss has already said that business cannot be done at a loss, nor can it be done with a clear conscience. There was not much grain left in the store, as long as Changshi paid the highest price estimated by the imperial court. It's just that...... Even if the small store takes out all the rice and grain in stock, it can only last for a day or two, and it needs to find another way. ”
Gu Xin said with a somewhat miserable smile: "If you can hold on for one day, it will be one day, and please tell your host, I hope he can buy food as soon as possible, and whatever he says, he will also support the support of the imperial court." ”
The shopkeeper smiled bitterly: "The owner has not been running around about this matter these days, but the grain store in the nearby state capital has been maliciously cleaned. He had to wear out his tongue to buy this little food. ”
"Who do you know?" Gu Xin's tone was a little angry.
The shopkeeper said: "The owner suspects that it is Peng Dongjia!" ”
