Among the six prefectures under the supervision of Daizhou north of Taiyuan, in addition to the small area of Xinzhou, the area of Daizhou, Shuozhou, Lanzhou, Ulzhou, and Yunzhou is almost the same, why Daizhou has the first population, and Xinzhou is also close behind

For this reason, as long as you take a closer look at the map of Datang, you can have a clear and intuitive feeling. Because Daizhou and Xinzhou do not border the Turks, while Lanzhou, Shuozhou, Yunzhou, and Ulzhou all border the Turks to a greater or lesser extent. Although the bordering places include the former Shan Yu Protectorate, but after the resurgence of the Eastern Turks, Shan Yu Protectorate existed in name only, and these four states have all suffered from harsh offensives, among which the city of Yunzhou was broken, and it was abandoned for forty years, Lanzhou Assassin Wang Demao was killed, and Ulzhou Shuozhou was not much better. Only Daizhou and Xinzhou have been sheltered by the front, and their population has grown rapidly in recent years, and they are also the two major granaries north of Taiyuan Prefecture.

Among them, Xinzhou, which is smaller in area, is naturally far inferior to Daizhou. This large tidal flat sandwiched between Wutai Mountain and Yanmen Mountain in Daizhou has always been extremely suitable for farming, so as long as it is a good year, the residents have no worries about food and clothing, and the remaining grain can be transported to other states and counties. Even when the floods in Hebei were repeated before, and many states bordering Hebei in Hedong were also greatly affected, the harvest in Daizhou was still good. It is precisely because of this that the use of Changping as a cover to wantonly speculate on grain in Hedong and Hebei has become a long-standing habit in Daizhou.

And in this case, as the supreme official of the Acting Prefecture Governor's Mansion, Acting Governor Shi, most of the time he didn't know that others didn't say it, at least Ye Huiquan was like that.

Therefore, Pei Yuanshan didn't expect that Du Shiyi's new official would know about this, and the beads of sweat on his forehead were rolling down at this moment. The Pei family has a big business, not to mention that the Hedong Zongtang has nearly 2,000 hectares of fertile land in Daizhou, so it looks down on and disdains this kind of grain speculation. However, he had almost no income from the sea for many years, and there was not much land in his private name, and the share of money in the clan was also very limited. Even though he was able to get a lot of rich returns every year after presiding over the management of all the properties and fields of the Hedong Sect in Daizhou, he was uncontrollable and unwilling to see that this lot of money was flowing through his hands.

However, the foundation of the Pei family is in Jiangzhou, and there are often children who go to Daizhou to be officials, and he wants to fill his own pockets but does not have such courage. At first, after he made a lot of money by taking advantage of the ups and downs of prices, he would fill the gap, but over time, he became bold and fat, so he simply ignored the gap.

Chang Ping, from the ambassador to the deputy envoy to the subordinate officials, everyone was fed by him, naturally they were insatiable and bold, as for Xichengguan, there would be less than fifteen stone of grain every month, firstly, because Duan Guangzhen was not well received, and some of his subordinates were all criminal soldiers, and secondly, because of this little profit, and some people refused to let go. As for Fan Ruocheng, he is just a handler

Do you know all these Du Shiyi, and what do you plan to do with yourself when you know it? As for armaments, it involves a wider range of them, not to mention discredited when it is spread, and the Son of Heaven, who often shows hatred for corruption, may not use what kind of harsh punishment he will use against himself

Pei Yuanshan took a deep breath, and then forced a smile: "What the envoy said is really strange, it is the first time I have heard such an unbelievable thing." ”

Seeing that Pei Yuanshan was clearly in chaos, but he still refused to admit it, Du Shiyi naturally scoffed. However, Pei Yuanshan resisted stubbornly, but he had no intention of forcing him to abandon his armor and surrender at this time, and immediately smiled faintly: "Yuanshan Gong doesn't know, forget it, this matter is not trivial, I naturally have to visit many ways."

Next, Du Shiyi said something to herself, Pei Yuanshan was completely out of thought. However, in order to make himself look less embarrassed, in order to make himself less flawed, he had to cheer up to deal with Du Shiyi's greetings from all over the world, until he finally felt that he had enough time, and he forced a smile and left. When he walked to the door of the Daizhou Governor's Mansion, he suddenly found that his front chest and back were soaked in the early autumn season, and when he wiped his head, the wet sweat made his palms even more greasy.

It's all gaffe to this point, Du Shiyi really didn't notice his weakness? Or are you planning to put a long line and catch a big fish? Yes, maybe Du Shiyi thought that there were people from a higher level of the Pei clan behind him who were involved, so he planned to chase and fight hard, otherwise, he might not be able to retreat today

Pei Yuanshan let out a long sigh of relief, and his heart was bitter. He was about to move forward and get on the horse, when he heard a distant mountain gong from behind, and when he looked back, he recognized Fan Ruocheng. Seeing that the other party's face was pale as withered, as soon as he saw himself, his face was full of anticipation as if he had found the backbone of the heart, and he couldn't wait to slap this guy hard. But this was in front of the Daizhou Governor's Mansion, it was impossible for him to be irrational to this point, he could only cough heavily at the moment, and then said lightly: "Fan Cangcao, I just met Du Yuanjun, and now I have to go back to gather the Pei family disciples to ask some important things, what is the important matter of Fan Cangcao?" ”

If you understand it, you can go back quickly, and it will be too late to be frightened

Under Pei Yuanshan's fierce gaze, Fan Ruocheng realized that this Pei Shichilang's trip to the Governor's Mansion was not all smooth sailing, and he hesitated for a moment to see him get on his horse and leave. When he watched the riders disappear from sight, Fan Ruocheng suddenly realized how stupid he had just chased him out and asked. He stiffened his eyes to the left and right, and saw that the officials, whether they were errand servants, all of them had avoided the distance, and he was even more frightened for a while, and could only turn around and return to the straight room in despair. And this scene has already been spread to Du Shiyi's ears by people who have a heart.

Du Shiyi, who had been with people for more than an hour, laughed at herself and said that she was dizzy from poisonous gas, was holding her baby only son Du Guangyuan at the moment, and was strolling side by side with his wife Wang Rong in the back garden of the Daizhou Governor's Mansion.

This vast government mansion has been the most eye-catching building in the entire Daizhou from beginning to end, from the former Daizhou Governor's Mansion to the current Daizhou Governor's Mansion. In addition to the solemn lobby in front of the second hall, there are also small and exquisite pavilions in the back, and the back garden also has corresponding flowers in all seasons, and four gardeners and a number of handymen are responsible for taking care of them. Along the way, a family of three came to greet the gardener with trepidation, and even Du Shiyi could feel the gaze of those who quietly looked at him. Seeing that the son in his hand kept looking around, babbling and not knowing what to say, he couldn't help laughing.

"Little guy, since you are in such a hurry, call Grandpa and Auntie to listen earlier"

"He has just turned one year old not long ago, you don't want to be a father to help the seedlings" Wang Rong hurriedly reached out and grabbed his son and hugged him, seeing that the little guy naughtily wanted to grab the ornaments on his head, she couldn't help but be angry and funny, "Since he can catch things, I don't dare to wear those sharp hairpins and hairpins, for fear that he will be so dishonest at a young age if he is not good, really like you"

"Where is it like me? I've always been the most honest. Du Shiyi winked at his son innocently, and when he saw Du Guangyuan laughing again, he couldn't help pinching his son's pink cheeks, and then looked around and said, "Let people carry the letter to Yunzhou, it's time to transfer all the manpower." ”

Wang Rong was amused by Du Shiyi's tone: "Looking at what you said, I thought you had suffered some grievances in Daizhou, who forced Cang Cao and Bing Cao to join the army and lost ground, and who forced Pei Qilang, who presided over Daizhou's affairs, to resign in embarrassment?" You, obviously you still said that you don't want to force people and dogs to jump over the wall, and you want to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, but if you look at the past few days, everyone sees you like a mouse sees a cat."

"I originally planned to be polite to Pei Yuanshan first, so as not to startle the snake, but I didn't expect that Pei Yuanshan's house would have an extra guest from Chang'an. If it hadn't been for the mention of Elder Wen when he sent his son to see me this morning, I'm afraid I would have missed someone. ”

Du Shiyi said this in a low voice that only his wife, son and the three of himself could hear, and Wang Rongdeng's color changed. Although Du Shiyi left Chang'an safely last time, the wrestling made her have to worry. Now that she heard that someone from Chang'an came to see Pei Yuanshan, she had to think about the worst aspect: "Is it Pei Xiangguo's person?" ”

"I don't know, Wen Zhengyi can learn that someone from Chang'an went to see Pei Yuanshan, which is already the limit of his status as a local official. You have to know which side of the person it is, but you still can't catch it. I originally planned to wait for Lady Yue to come back, and then ask her to help me investigate, but she disappeared again. ”

When it came to Yue Wuniang, Wang Rong couldn't help but have a headache. Among the officials of the Yunzhou family, there are not many accompanying female dependents, but Princess Gu'an is naturally the closest to her and Du Shisanniang because of Du Shiyi's relationship, although Guo Quan's wife is not from a famous family, she is older and very good at being a person, Cui Hao's wife rarely comes out and walks around, and the rest is Yue Wuniang. No one can care about this beautiful girl who does her own thing, where she wants to go, how she came to Daizhou this time, Wang Rong doesn't know, let alone this big thing that Du Shiyi wants to ask for.

At that moment, she had to smile bitterly: "The song of the general order she had with Du Lang before attracted countless admiration, but after that, I didn't see anyone for a few days, and I could only tell people that her whereabouts were ethereal, and I didn't dare to say that she was married." Alas, Luo Ying is really hard. ”

took off the little man's boots, removed the girdle that concealed the little flying sword, and put on the arm and gold ring between the wrists, only the end of the long hairpin between the hairpins was still sharp as a sharp weapon, and Yue Wuniang, who was barefoot in the banquet for the dance of the heavenly demons, most people who were familiar with her were difficult to recognize. However, this kind of ordinary dancing girl is glamorous, and the two men watching the dance from the front seem to be commonplace, and they don't even bother to take a look at whether there is an extra face among the many dancing girls.

When Pei Yuanshan, who was on the throne, drank a full cup again, he asked his neighbor in a hoarse voice, "Is this really the only method?" ”

"Naturally, take it seriously. Yuanshan Gong, you have been forced to this one, you still want to compromise and seek perfection, and it also depends on whether Du Nineteen can tolerate you, if you don't Zuihou fight, when will you wait? Now Yu Wenrong is no longer in trouble, but Du Nineteen, who has entrusted his wife and children, is a big trouble for many nobles in Chang'an, and now that Du Nineteen has not spread the matter, you still have a glimmer of life, otherwise, you want to taste how powerful the saint's cane punishment is? ”

"This ...... You make me think about it, think again"

"If Yuanshan Gong is still not at ease, I am willing to help in person"
