The Peng family has today's status because of its prestige. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Prestige is intangible, but it has a wonderful effect both in ancient and modern times.

For a family to flourish and multiply, prestige is indispensable. With prestige, there is family centripetal force. As long as the people want it, even if there are no eunuchs in the clan who can be suppressed, they can still form a powerful force.

The Peng family is all over all walks of life in Longyou, including many local gentry and businessmen. With the prestige of the Peng family, they have achieved convenience in all aspects, so as to strengthen themselves. When you are strong, you will feed back to the family, and the two sides will form a virtuous circle.

They help each other and support each other, forming an invisible force that makes outsiders awe of their Peng family, and the Peng family is proud of being in the Peng family.

Not only the Peng family, but even the high-ranking family with five surnames is like this.

Why was the family of five surnames so bullish in the early years?

It is because they have an unparalleled prestige and are the existence that everyone admires in Shilin.

A family without prestige is like the poem in Liu Yuxi's "Wuyi Lane": "In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people!" ”

The Wang family and the Xie family, what a glory it was in the past, once the fame is gone, it is no different from ordinary people.

Now that the Peng family is discussing the law, Pei Min has been forced to become a condemnation meeting of the Peng family, and the unknown ugly things in the clan have been exposed one by one.

In the future, when someone in Longyou mentions the Peng family, what comes to mind is not the family all over Longyou, but a laughing stock, and some are just notorious.

A notorious family, where can there be a foothold?

And so it is, and today the news is spreading. Many Peng family members have left the Peng family, unwilling to be involved. Those who were originally good friends with the Peng family also cut off contact. As a result, the descendants of the Peng family have difficulties in marrying. The largest surname family in Longyou went straight down and went into decline.

Old lady Peng looked at Pei Min not far away, with fear and hatred in her eyes, thinking about the future of the Peng family, she was so sad that she was so angry.

Gu Xin, who was in the dark of the mansion, looked at Pei Min, who was in command, and there was only respect in his eyes: Today's matter, he handled it with a clear conscience, and Mrs. Peng forcibly forced him to interfere, but he had nothing to do. He is not easy to come forward, for fear of aggravating the situation, so he can only think about how to deal with it on the sidelines.

As an "outsider", Gu Xin understands more clearly than anyone else, and the Peng family has fallen into Pei Min's layout from the beginning.

Pei Min really doesn't know anything about the Peng family?

Of course, he knew, but the state of affairs was like a footcloth, smelly and long, and he couldn't tell where the truth was.

Pei Min deliberately pretended not to know the reason for the incident, and found another way, starting with the Peng family's obstruction of the decree, and forcibly broke the deadlock.

Gu Xin thought about the step-by-step planning and calculation, and in another way, he forced out the truth, and the means were so clever and clever that it was really amazing.

Thinking of Taozhou's predicament and looking at Pei Min's methods, Gu Xin ignited hope in his heart: maybe he could protect Taozhou's one-third of an acre.

"We were all bewitched by Peng Lao, Pei Tingshi is kind-hearted, spare us this time."

"It's all the old guy's fault......"

"It's Peng Lao who bewitches ......"

One by one, the Peng family saw that the general trend had gone, and forcibly threw the pot, intending to stay out of the matter.

Pei Min looked at the faces of the people who wanted to get rid of the sinners, compared to the shamelessness of Mrs. Peng who reversed black and white for the sake of the family, these people who were blown on both sides were even more despicable.

Pei Min said mercilessly: "Ignorance is not a reason to commit a crime, let alone an excuse. All persons, men and women, young and old, are put together in prison to be released. Those involved in the hoarding of food with the intention of making a fortune in the country were put on death row, and their families were not allowed to visit them. ”

Everyone saw that Pei Min was not self-sufficient when he beat the Peng family with a cane, and he had to put everyone in prison, even death row, which made the law grim, and their hearts were all awe-inspiring.

Pei Min saw that there were already many people gathered around him who had come to beg for food, and said loudly: "Where is Gu Changshi?" ”

Gu Xin saw Pei Min calling him, and hurriedly ran from the shadows, saying, "Humble duty!" ”

Pei Min said: "You immediately draw up an official document, and from tomorrow, cancel the distribution of food ......" As soon as his voice fell, Gu Xin's face changed inexplicably.

Most of the surrounding people are on an empty stomach, waiting for the Taozhou government to distribute food and food to solve the problem of food and clothing. When he heard this, he cried out angrily.

Pei Min was indifferent to the protests of the surrounding people, and continued to say loudly: "Find 20 important roads with Taozhou, and distribute 10 days of flour according to the registered population of the family, everyone has a share, and every 10 days, receive it." ”

Moment!

The angry muttering was gone, replaced by cheers and cheers.

The excited people knelt down to worship:

"Xie Pei stabbed history!"

"Long live Pei Tingshi!"

"Pei Tingshi is a good official and a good person!"

All kinds of excited shouts came one after another.

Pei Min was instantly glad that he was in the Tang Dynasty, otherwise this "long live" would be enough to make his political future worrying. "Long live" became synonymous with the emperor in the Song Dynasty, and before that, chanting long live to show gratitude is not transgression.

Pei Min waved his hand and said: "This is not Min's credit, it is Your Majesty's compassion, you want to thank Your Majesty, thank Your Majesty!" ”

The voice of "Long live Your Majesty" also followed.

Du Guest watched Pei Min come to Taozhou for only a short time, and he had already received the hearts of the people of Taozhou, and he was dumbfounded, and he was very puzzled in his heart. He asked himself that he was no worse than Pei Min, since he succeeded to the history of Taozhou, there have been no people in the state who have starved to death.

Even if it is because of food shortage, he is struggling to maintain stability in the state, and his hard work is not as good as Pei Min's few short words?

But he didn't know that the same result, and different ways of dealing with it would have different effects.

Du Guest did a good job, arranging the government to cook for the people every day to solve the people's food and clothing. But while the people appreciate it, they can't solve the uneasiness in their hearts. They weren't sure when they would run out of food and when, when the court would cut off their food.

And Pei Min's direct distribution of ten days of rice grain, letting them deal with it by themselves is equivalent to giving them a reassurance, so that they can really see that there is surplus food at home, instead of waiting for the court's alms every day.

This small detail seems to be almost the same, but in fact it is a millimeter of error and a thousand miles of error.

Gu Xin looked at Pei Min's grace and power in a short period of time, and the respect in his heart became more and more prosperous, and he took the order.

After today's incident, Pei Min's thunderous means have gone far and wide.

The invincible Peng family has made him half of his body unsuccessful, let alone others?

The people were at ease, and the gentry who had the intention of stealing chickens also accepted their thoughts and did not dare to act rashly.

In particular, after the result of the trial, all those who participated in the distribution of grain to make the country difficult to make money, whether intentionally or not, as long as they were involved in it, were severely punished and executed.

In the next few days, Pei Min officially took over the position of Taozhou Assassin and dealt with Taozhou affairs.

He successively met with the county commanders and lizheng of the three counties and 11 villages in Taozhou to learn about their local situation.

In fact, he has personally come to Taozhou and done field investigations, and he knows a lot about the situation in Taozhou. The county commander and Li Zheng wanted to hide it from him, but they couldn't.

Truthfully described, no matter how bad the situation is, it is acceptable, and with the intention of deceiving the superiors and subordinates, Pei Min will not be polite to them, and directly depose them from their positions and let the capable live in them.

Pei Min did not have the power to appoint officials, but he did have the power to dismiss officials and appoint acting officials.

With Li Longji's current emphasis on Taozhou, as long as Pei Min explains the situation in detail, it is also a matter of will for the acting officials to become regulars.

After having a deeper understanding of Taozhou, Pei Min once again invited the first leader of three counties and eleven villages to Taozhou.

Looking at the county magistrate and Li Zheng who were sitting in the hall, Pei Min nodded slightly: Xu is thunderous means of dealing with the Peng family have been spread, and all the officials will not despise him because of his age, and they will all be cautious.

"I summoned you here today to discuss the future development of Taozhou." Pei Min sat at the head of the desk and glanced at Gu Xin and many county orders and Li Zhengdao: "According to statistics, there are 5,700 households in Taozhou, with a population of 33,000 and 21. In my memory, Taozhou was Zhongzhou many years ago. The household of 30,000 has been on the state, and 20,000 has been on the middle state. In other words, Taozhou now has only three or four percent of the original population. Manpower is the foundation of development, and with so much manpower lost, it's no wonder that the situation in Taozhou is getting worse. ”

"For the development of people in Taozhou, I would like to make a few comments. First, Your Majesty has granted tax exemption for three years, and we must make good use of this opportunity to attract displaced people to return to their hometowns, attract foreigners to move to their homes, and attract merchants to visit, so as to increase the prosperity of our territory. ”

"Second, there are only 33,000 and 21 people in Taozhou, but it is divided into three counties and 11 villages, and the people are too scattered, which is not conducive to development, and it is really redundant. The official decided to divide one county and 11 villages, and all the people in Taozhou must live in Taozhou city or county...... Bringing people together in one place, only when the place rises can the whole prosperity be brought about. ”

"Third, stabilize the people's hearts, now the people of Taozhou are unstable, the main reason is that they cannot make a living, the fields are destroyed, and the people have nothing to do. I don't think we should stick to one acre and three points of land, and we should persuade the people to give up farming and make a living from other industries, and this point can be discussed. ”

Pei Min said this, the implication is already obvious, the three opinions, the first two have no room for negotiation, only the third can be taken out to say.

Just to discuss!

I've seen domineering, but I've never seen such a domineering.

The county order and Lizheng of three counties and eleven villages, you look at me, and I don't know what to say.

Pei Min's three proposals, leave aside the third.

The first and second can be regarded as the right medicine for the situation in Taozhou.

As long as Taozhou can settle down, there will be a large number of foreign population flowing into the state capital, such a great good thing, naturally no one has an opinion.

The people are scattered, each in his own position, living separately, unable to promote local development, and only when they get together can they form a relationship of interests and drive development.

Who can't figure out the key to this?

However, the abolition of one county and 11 villages seriously threatens their own interests.

Especially those who are right, everyone looks like they dare to be angry but dare not speak. If it was the previous Thorn Shi Du guests, they would have already made a fuss, but now facing Pei Min, who had just burned the fire, they didn't have the courage.

Pei Min said with a smile: "You don't have to be in a hurry to be indignant, the division of one county and eleven villages is not to abolish it, but to relocate, just like Chang'an's neighborhood system, the county seat is divided into multiple cities and villages, and the people continue to be controlled by you, just merge them together to stimulate development." ”

Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard it, and after thinking about it carefully, they also felt that it was feasible.

Zhang Hongdao, the commander of Meixiang County: "Pei Tingshi's opinion echoes the development of Taozhou, but the people love their families and land, and they may not be willing to relocate!" ”

Pei Min said without hesitation: "This is the time for you to play a role, you can't do this thing, what kind of court can you take?" After a pause, he said: "Also, remember not to use force, mainly persuasion." Tell them that migration is not just about development, it's about protection. Taozhou is vast and sparsely populated, which is most conducive to the gallop of Tibetan rangers. The scattered ones are too open, and my Taozhou soldiers can't take care of each other. But as long as they are in the county, our Datang soldiers will be able to protect them. ”

Zhang Hong nodded to show that he understood!

The rest of the people also looked like they were supportive.

Xie Rong said in Xihe Village: "Pei Tingshi is admired for the times. It's just the third point to give up farming, I can't understand it, I Datang attaches great importance to farming, if I give up farming, what will the 33,000 people in Taozhou eat? ”

Pei Min asked rhetorically: "If you don't give up farming, you will eat?" ”

Xie Rong couldn't answer.

"A close friend of Min once told me that relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water, governing the local area, and taking the development of local specialties and specialties as the first priority!" Pei Min remembered the days when he talked with Yan Gaoqing and Yuan Luqian, in just a few months, they learned from each other and worked together, and now they really miss it.

After a pause, he said: "Yaozhou is rich in water and grass, suitable for the development of animal husbandry, not a treasure land for farming, and cultivation cannot give full play to Yaozhou's strengths." Instead of developing agriculture and being trampled on by the Tibetan rangers from time to time, it is better to simply give up farming and find other methods. ”

"You can't think of animal husbandry, do you?" An official looked at Pei Min with a little uneasiness, the biggest problem in Taozhou is not how to develop, but how to enter Tibet. Even the fields cannot be protected, let alone cattle and sheep, and the development of animal husbandry is equivalent to sending cattle and sheep to Tibet.

Pei Min smiled and did not respond, but waved his hand, and let people carry a large stone with fine crystalline and said, "What do you think this is?" ”

Zhang Hong, Xie Rong and other county commanders and Li Zheng pulled the corners of their mouths one by one, and said in unison: "Isn't it Taoshi, how much Taohe wants." ”

Pei Min hated that iron could not become steel and said: "You are too ignorant of goods!" It's a baby, but it's treated like garbage for you. Let me tell you, in the entire Tang Dynasty, and even in the world, only we Taozhou are rich in such stones, whether Taozhou can develop, this Taozhou is the key to the most important thing......"
