No wonder there has been no news for a long time, it turned out that Xue Xiong took a fancy to Qu Yuan Plow.

"Haven't reported it yet?" Quyuan plough is undoubtedly beneficial to farming, and Chen Ping never came to Dongxi to get the news, saying that it had been reported to Daxing City.

If it has not been reported, the situation has become a bit complicated, and the attitude of the prefectural order makes people wonder.

"It's reported, it's not easy to be a county order." Chen Shi channel, "Not only has it been reported, but it has also been replied to the news, and the instructions given by the Ministry of Civil Affairs are to ask the county order to attach the name and household registration of the person who made the Quyuan plow." ”

Agricultural affairs were already within the scope of responsibility of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of Menxia Province, and Chen Ping originally thought that this matter would alarm Yang Guang himself, but now that he looks at it, he has stopped at the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

"Why didn't the county order write down the names of the people when they were first reported?" Chen Ping grasped the key, logically speaking, when Lai Dongxi sent Quyuan plough to the county, he should have said the situation, but the county order was not written in one place and reported together.

This is something worth pondering, the knowledge of the human heart is endless, and it is also the most difficult to ponder, and it is changeable.

At this time, Chen Ping had to think more.

This is the cleverness of the prefectural order. The situation in the county Yuan Liang should have told you that Xue Xiong is a native of Shangtu Village, and his family has a lot of assets, and he is also influential in this Liuhe County, and most of the white straight officials in the county are used by him. Li Xianwei and Yan Xiancheng are both outsiders, and they don't deal with Xue Xiong. If Xue Xiong wants to go further, he needs to drive the two away. Chen Shitong said to Chen Ping, obviously knowing some things about Chen Ping, and did not treat him as a twelve-year-old child, "On the one hand, there are county lieutenants and county officials, nine grades up and down, and they have entered the stream, but they are still short to come here, and the foundation is not solid, and on the other side is Xue Xiong, although he is only the main book that does not enter the stream, he can win in Liuhe County for many years." ”

After a brief analysis of the situation with Chen Ping, Chen Ping had also heard it in Chen Yuanliang before, but at this time, after Chen Shitong said it again, Chen Ping was even more certain.

And there is a very important information here, which Chen Ping did not know before.

"The county order wants to reap the benefits." Chen Ping said the mind of the county order, and it is really unusual to be a person who can be in the position of the county order, "Or do you want to keep your subordinates balanced?" ”

"Both." Chen Shitong straightened his waist, looked at Chen Ping carefully, his eyebrows were delicate, his body was straight, his eyes were straight, his eyes were strong, he was really talented, he was only twelve years old, which made people unbelievable, "If you want to stay in Liuhe County, you have to rely on the county and the county lieutenant who are also foreigners, but if you want to do something else in Liuhe County, you have to rely on Xue Xiong." ”

"How does the prefectural order dress and eat on weekdays?" Chen Ping asked.

Chen Shitong smiled, pointed at Chen Ping, and said in a low voice: "It is definitely not enough to rely on the production of the office. ”

In this way, Chen Ping also understood. This county commander should be a person who loves money, since Qu Yuanli did this, he must want to get some benefits from both the county lieutenant and Xue Xiong, as for whose name is written, it depends on which side gives more benefits.

"What's in it to gain?" Chen Ping asked, and said again, "Is it a promotion, or is it just a silver reward?" ”

"There is definitely a silver reward. But it's not just that, otherwise how could it make Xue Xiong tempted? "Not only money, then it may also be increased, the conditions for entering the official are harsh, and now the Quartet except for the Turkic and Tuyuhun who occasionally have some small frictions, it is generally quite peaceful, and Xue Xiong has no way, so he can only rely on the bypass to increase the official.

The curved plough is an opportunity.

"After the report of the county order arrives in Shangshu Province, won't the emperor see it?" Chen Ping thought for a moment and asked.

Shangshu Province was the highest administrative body of the Sui Dynasty and was responsible for the implementation of important decrees of the state. Under it, there are orders and servants, and they are in charge of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Industry.

"This kind of thing will not go through the hands of the emperor, and the provincial capital of Shangshu will directly give instructions." Chen Shi channel, "But after the name is reported back to Shangshu Province, I don't know if it will be seen by the emperor." ”

"Since that's the case, then give it to Xue Xiong." Chen Ping said, "The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful, and the emperor has been here for many years when he was the king of Jin, so I think I will come back." ”

Seeing that Chen Ping was about to give up Qu Yuan Plough to Xue Xiong so easily, Chen Yuanliang hurriedly said: "How can this be done, with the credit of Qu Yuan Plow, you may be able to become a Shangxu official, and it can be regarded as making up for the lack of not going to school." If Xue Xiong had this help, he might be able to squeeze out Li County Lieutenant and Yan County Cheng, and then this Liuhe County would become Xue Xiong's again. ”

"If you stand tall, it will hurt and kill you when you fall." Chen Ping said, "Take a step back now, and when the time is right, then Xue Xiong will fall down hard, and he will never be able to get up again." Moreover, it's not like you can't get anything, if you want us to back down, he, Xue Xiong, should always pay a small price. ”

Sitting on the fire, Chen Shitong stroked his gray beard. This grandson has been in the county for a few years, and he has not seen things clearly than any child in the village who is more than ten years old, or even has not entered school, and he is really not angry.

"This matter is so decided, Yuanliang, you don't have to go to the county lieutenant to talk to you." Chen Shitong stood up, took two steps, and said to Chen Ping, "Wait a minute, you will bring some things and go to County Lieutenant Li's house for a walk, after all, it is a festival, and you and County Lieutenant Li also know each other, you should go." ”

"That's exactly what I mean." Chen Ping nodded, I want to come to Chen Yuanliang's guild to talk to him in detail, and he doesn't need to remind him anymore, but he still needs to prepare some things when he goes to Li County's house.

Half an hour later, Chen Ping was alone, picked up some things, walked out of the courtyard gate of Chen Yuanliang's house, and walked towards the alley.

A little far away from the county office, I went to a curved alley, asked a woman who came out of the curved alley, holding a child, and got guidance, Chen Ping knocked on the courtyard door of Li Yingxing's house.

The courtyard with one entrance and two rooms is still rented.

The courtyard door opened, revealing Li Yingxing's face, and when he saw Chen Ping outside the courtyard gate, he was a little surprised, and then let Chen Ping in.

"County Lieutenant Li, you are really poor, you have been in the county for several years, and the place where you live is so simple." The yard is very homely, and when I entered the door, I saw two children in the courtyard, not very old, and they looked like they were slightly older than the little lady Chen Zhen, "County Lieutenant Li is so blessed, a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, it's really cute." ”

"I don't have a living, I can't compare with you, but I also rely on the fire sickle, this is the purchase of some meat, which is considered to be the end of the Yuan Day." Li Yingxing took the things from Chen Ping, carried them to the house by himself, and looked at the things inside, which should cost more than one or two silver coins, "Come in and sit." ”

The two children who were playing in the courtyard saw someone coming in, and when they looked over, they suddenly saw a bamboo stick in Chen Ping's hand, and the bamboo stick was connected with a strange paper with four corners, and the paper was turning.

"Yes." At this time, there were no toys, and the two children saw the novelty, threw the mud and stones in their hands, and ran to Chen Ping.

Chen Ping lowered his body, stretched out his arms, and stopped the two children to prevent them from falling, and then gave the windmill in his hand to the two of them, one for each person.

The breeze blows, the windmill turns, and some simple patterns are painted on it, although it is not gorgeous, but it is very vivid in the eyes of children.

One by one, the two of them ran in the courtyard with a windmill, laughing heartily.

"During the festival, why did County Lieutenant Li close the courtyard door?" Entering the house, the two sat down, looked at the furniture arrangement, and Chen Ping said.

"Who would dare to come?" Li Yingxing put things down and poured a bowl of tea for Chen Ping, "I heard Chen Yuanliang say that you don't like tea soup." ”

"The tea soup is too strong, the taste is weird, and I am not used to it. This tea is still light and warm in the throat. Chen Ping took a sip, "Then I'll congratulate County Lieutenant Li here, who is about to be promoted." ”
