Peng Huizu, 41 years old, is a native of Heyang, Tongzhou, Guanzhong.

It is said that he is the descendant of Peng Zu, who lost his forty-nine wives and fifty-four sons.

His father was a gambler, and once sold Peng Huizu to be a child servant six times, and each time Peng Huizu could find him back and tell his father not to sell him again...... As a result, his gambler father sold him six times, and was proud of it, often praising Peng Huizu for being a smart boy who could run back on his own.

The reason why it was only sold six times was because when it was sold for the seventh time, it was unlucky to meet the second buyer, and they broke Peng Hui Zuaya's legs, and after wailing for two days, he died of pain.

Then, Peng Huizu became the child servant of the family who bought him for the second time, specializing in serving the old people in the family, and later because of his diligence, good growth, and great strength, he won the love of the master, and the master also taught Peng Huizu to read and write in his spare time.

Before the old master passed away, he let go of Peng Huizu's beloved identity, and made up for Peng Huizu's student status at the county school and sent him to the county school, thus erasing his status as a slave.

Twenty years later, Peng Huizu won the first place in one fell swoop.

He has always believed that as a human being, we must abide by our duties and respect and inferiority, this is the basic order of society, slaves must have the consciousness of slaves, farmers must have the consciousness of farmers, only the four people have their own roots, the order will be stable.

Just like these fugitive slaves in front of them, they don't think about how to serve their masters well, and after gaining the favor of their masters, they can go through formal channels to gain freedom, and then get the high position they want like him.

Those who do not follow the rules are untouchables, real untouchables, because they can't even do the minimum duty of obeying order, they just want to escape and use the power of the Tang princess in front of them to gain freedom.

It's not okay to do that, they can't do things that don't follow the rules.

In his opinion, fleeing from the master is the greatest destruction of order, especially since there are many people in this group who have fled because of adultery, and there are still many of them, and these people are more hateful than robbers who kill people and oversell goods.

Therefore, he is ready to send these fugitive slaves who fled to Leize County back, or kill them on the spot, which is very in line with the spirit of Datang's law.

Before sending these fugitive slaves back or putting them to death, Peng Huizu was going to teach them some lessons.

Standing at the entrance of the yamen with his hands behind his back, he watched Peng Huizu deal with those fugitive slaves, especially after seeing Peng Huizu ordering the fingers of a maid who fled for adultery to be cut off with a clamp stick, and the legs of the maid's mistress, he felt that this Peng Huizu should die.

"Go and burn the county office."

Gentle gave an order without looking back, and after a while, fireworks erupted in the house behind the county office.

When Peng Huizu heard that the back hall was on fire, he stopped continuing to try the case, and ordered someone to tie up the pair of fugitive slaves who had passed out at the gate of the county government, and they hurried to put out the fire.

Since it was a fire ordered by gentleness, it was naturally not so easy to extinguish, and before Peng Huizu put out the fire in the back house, the yamen in front of him was on fire.

Hide-and-seek firefighting, naturally, can't be saved, and when it gets dark, Peng Huizu can only give up fighting the fire, and watch the Leize County Ya being burned into a white ground by the fire.

If there is a county office, there will be a county official, and without a county office, there will be no county official, this logic is valid in the Tang Dynasty, and Wen Rou has been a county magistrate for so many years, so he naturally knows the three flavors.

Under normal circumstances, the county government is composed of a public court, a middle hall, and a back hall, the public hall is used to try cases, the middle hall is used to handle official business, and the back hall is used to house the county order's family.

Leize County is a small county, and the government office and prison are also connected with the county government, so if you burn down the county government with gentleness, it is equivalent to burning the management foundation of Lize County.

Gentle needs time to bypass the county order to deal with the mess left by Li Si as soon as possible, once these fugitive slaves enter the township and obtain official status, basically, it is equivalent to a fish entering the sea.

In Datang, even if the county order wants to do something, it needs to be done through the lieutenants one by one, and the imperial power never goes to the countryside!

The fact that the imperial power did not go to the countryside was not so much a phenomenon as a compromise in desperation, because the imperial court did not have so much money and grain to feed the huge number of village officials.

Datang now has eleven people with the status of prime minister, one hundred and thirty-seven people with the status of Shangshu, six hundred and eighty-eight people with the level of squire, 1,953 fourth-grade officials, tens of thousands of fifth-grade officials, more than 40,000 sixth-grade officials, and more than 80,000 seventh-grade officials.

Such a proportion of support is not a big problem in Chang'an, but there is only one Chang'an in the whole Tang Dynasty, and the taxes collected by most states and counties in a year are even more than the taxes of a year in Jinchangfang.

This is the current situation of Datang.

Of course, Datang also has governance behaviors in the township, but generally chooses people with two talents to replace the implementation.

These two talented people refer to people who have money and talents.

In other words, the governance of the township has always been carried out by the rich households and landlords in place of the imperial dynasty.

Even if it is to track down the fugitives, once they reach the level of the township, if the head of the family or the head of the family says that there is no such person, then there is really no such person.

Yun Chu has always believed that the township of Datang should make great achievements, and he himself has come to his current position step by step from the head of Jinchang Fang.

No one knows better than Yun Chu how powerful the lieutenant is, once the management is good, it is easy to run the countryside through the clan or interests, and when the time comes, it is not the governor who looks at the face of the county commander to live, but the county commander who looks at the face of the strong lieutenant to live.

The fugitives who were locked up were taken by the elders who had been polluted by Li Si to change their names and surnames, and then settled down.

Peng Huizu was busy looking for people everywhere to build the county government.

As for the fugitives who escaped without a trace, he didn't care about it at this time.

A new county magistrate, in Leize County, has no one and no money to prostitute a county government for nothing, which is as difficult as an unknown monk holding a bowl everywhere and hoping to build a big temple.

Just when Peng Huizu was at his most difficult, the angel Jia Chunyan came to Leize County after inspecting Linpu County.

In Juancheng, Jia Chunyan was full of praise for the newly appointed county magistrate in the local area, believing that this county magistrate had just taken office, and he would be able to quickly quell the chaos of the previous county magistrate being killed and the officials being arrested, and quickly bring the political and general management of Juancheng County to people, which is really a rare talent.

In Linpu County, although Jia Chunyan pointed out a lot of problems, Jia Chunyan thought that the problems here were too much related to the fact that the soldiers were implicated in the search for the previous county commander and the officials, and the county order of Linpu County was already rare to maintain a peaceful county governance on the surface, and I believe that as long as the county commander is given another three months, he will be able to return His Majesty a happy and peaceful Linpu County.

It's that Leize County is a little worse, it's not a little worse, it's a lot worse, not only did there be a civil unrest here, but there was also a serious accident like the people igniting the county government under the rage, which caused the prisoners in the county government prison to disperse in a hurry.

Seeing that the county magistrate Peng Huizu was being bought by Li Si with money and land in Leize County, Jia Chunyan beheaded Peng Huizu in front of the people in the county in order to calm the anger of the people, for which the angel Jia Chunyan also got a letter from the people.

In this book, Peng Huizu, who came to Leize County for less than 20 days, is full of heinous crimes, but fortunately, an angel arrived in time to save the people of Lize County from fire and water.

Jia Chunyan didn't know why Bai Yunchu did this, it was clear that the affairs of Leize County should be small and big, why did Yun Chu act with such fanfare?

Even if a mere Peng Huizu was born a wicked person, he had only been in Leize County for twenty days, how could he commit so many crimes, this book of all the people does not look like a letter of commendation, but more like a confession.

Jia Chunyan told Yun Chu that it was inappropriate to do this, but Yun Chu still insisted on his opinion and refused to revise it, and in desperation, Jia Chunyan returned to Jiyang City, where the emperor was stationed, with this book of all people.

This time, the Emperor of Yun Chu gambled that he still couldn't see clearly, and he couldn't understand the far-reaching significance of the thing he did in Leize County to accept fugitive slaves.

After Li Zhi read the Book of the People presented by Jia Chunyan, he said to Jia Chunyan in confusion: "Is Peng Huizu's death unjust? ”

Jia Chunyan replied calmly: "Wronged." ”

Li Zhi said again: "The crimes mentioned in the Book of the People seem to be imaginary, right? ”

Jia Chunyan said: "More than eighty percent is nonsense. ”

Li Zhi moved his fart sitting in the chair. He leaned closer to Jia Chunyan and said, "In that case, why did you unjustly kill Peng Huizu?" ”

Jia Chunyan sighed and said; "Under the boiling of public grievances, the first thing Weichen should do is to appease the place for His Majesty, eliminate the grievances between the government and the local people, and Caozhou at this time must not be chaotic.

On the other hand, His Majesty's purpose in sending Peng Huizu to Lize County was to pacify the chaos caused by the killing of the previous county commander and the capture of the officials as soon as possible, rather than sending him to continue to go to Lize County to make trouble in the wind and rain, as long as he can calm the place and appease the people, as for the rest of the things can be slowly planned in the future.

Like him, a mediocre official who can't share His Majesty's worries and solve problems, the only remaining use is to use his head to calm the people's grievances. ”

Li Zhi asked, "Can this matter be related to Yun Chu?" ”

Jia Chunyan glanced left and right, and then lowered his voice and said, "It has nothing to do with Yun Chu, but it has something to do with Princess Anding." ”

"Why?"

"Princess Anding not to mention selling grain at a low price in Leize County, she also wants to deploy some land in Lize County to plant new seeds and new crops grown in the East Palace, one of which I heard can make a lot of money."

Li Zhi said with a gloomy face: "What crops can make a lot of money?" ”

Jia Chunyan said in a deep voice: "Caozhou peony." ”

Li Zhi slapped heavily on the table and said: "Nonsense, the farmland in Leize County is not fertile, there is a shortage of food every year, if she doesn't grow food, what does she want to do when she grows peonies?" ”

Jia Chunyan sighed and said: "When His Majesty returned to Jiyang after passing through the Yunchu military camp, he once asked Princess Anding, and Princess Anding said: Just because the grain produced in the field is not enough to eat, it is better to plant peonies, as long as the peonies are planted, the money in exchange is enough for the people of Leize County to buy grain in the rest of the places......"

Li Zhi trembled and roared: "What if the planted peonies are not cared for?" ”

Jia Chunyan saw that the emperor was angry enough, so he hurriedly said: "Princess Anding said that she will harvest it all, not only to potted peonies, but also to use peony roots in medicine, and to cultivate new peonies in the rest of the place with peony seeds...... As long as a new variety of peony is cultivated, she can sell hundreds of peonies. ”
