Don’t Be a Scumbag

Chapter 17: Brainless Second Ancestor

◎The scumbag who married a female general who "doesn't obey women's morals" (17)◎

When Pei Ming moved out of the emperor, several officials immediately became anxious.

They glanced at each other, then pushed a person out and said to Pei Ming, "Sir, we forgot, we have some money." After speaking, the officer who was pushed out took out five hundred taels of silver, and put it away with a painful expression on his face. On the table, he turned around and glanced at the colleagues around him with eyes the size of mung bean, and said urgingly: "Quick, I've already taken it out, and yours." He couldn't just let him bleed alone, right? Of course, things are better for everyone.

Looking at Pei Ming's suspicious eyes, the official who just took out five hundred taels opened his eyes and said nonsense: "It's such an adult, we are afraid of who will embezzle, so we split the money, and each of us has it in our hands. There is one thing, so even if someone is embezzled, we still have other money to do things for the people.”

The person who spoke had already paid for it, and the rest of the people who had not paid nodded their heads in agreement, scolding him in their hearts for pulling them into the water.

Where did they come from second-hand preparations, let alone for the sake of the people. But Pei Ming has moved the emperor out, how can they still say nothing? One person took out five hundred taels, and the rest of the people also went out to take money for one hundred two hundred and six hundred taels.

After everyone had finished taking them, Pei Ming looked at the money on the table, nodded in praise and said, "I know that all of you are smart and must have second-hand preparations. You are worthy of being honest and honest officials, waiting for him in the future. I saw that Uncle Huang will definitely tell Uncle Huang about everyone's painstaking efforts."

The officials said in their hearts, "Thank you, Mr. Pei."

After Pei Ming finished speaking, he counted the money and found that there were a total of 2,023 taels. The rest of the money was taken out by these old fried dough sticks, and the prominent 23 taels were the ones who were scared to the ground just now. The unlucky one took it out.

The unlucky guy probably didn't really greed much, and even took out the fractions on his body.

However, the amount of money was still too small. Pei Ming looked at the officials in front of him, looking at their accessories and rings on their hands. I feel that the few people in front of me still have a lot of potential to be squeezed.

But thinking that the three fires of the new officials could not burn too vigorously, he decided to squeeze them for a while.

Pei Ming complimented a few people in front of him symbolically. Except for the hapless Mr. Li, who didn't dare to face Pei Ming because he took too little money, the others all gritted their teeth, looked at Pei Ming's expression of praise, and then forced With a smile, he said, "This is what we should do."

With a humble look on Pei Ming's face, he said, "Where, where, you still have the foresight to save so much money for the people." Pei Ming looked at the smiling faces of all the staff, showing no trace. The corner of his lower lip slightly curved, and then he continued:

"Although the money has been taken by this official, it is impossible for this official to put the money in his own treasury. It is better to put up a piece of paper at the gate of the city tomorrow to inform the people of the money, and when the money is used in the future. , and write down the details of the whereabouts. The people are very happy when they see the money, and this way you don't have to worry about who is embezzling and taking bribes and embezzling the money."

Pei Ming said so, how dare these officials say anything, the money is now on the surface, and there is no way to get it back. Although they were reluctant in their hearts, they all agreed on their faces and flattered and said, "My lord is wise."

"It is a blessing for the common people to be so fair and honest."

"It's fair and reasonable for your lord to do this. Why didn't we think of it before?"

"That's right, it's still as thoughtful as adults think."

So after everyone's full (no) voice (gan) praise (no) Yang (resentment), it was determined that the money was finally kept by Pei Ming, and then the details were recorded on paper and posted at the gate of the city.

Pei Ming's taking office did not bring any feeling to the people of Qizhou. Changing officials is like changing emperors. At most, it will have an impact on courtiers. It has no major impact on officials outside Beijing. By analogy, Qizhou changes. Knowing the prefect may have some influence on the officials below the prefect, but it has no feeling for the people.

It's not that they haven't changed the prefect before. The common people know that they can drink and talk after a meal at most, and then they forget how to live their own lives, or how to live their own lives.

But this time it was different. Although Pei Ming didn't let the people remember him when he came, he was praised by the people in Qizhou City on the fourth day of his tenure.

A big notice was posted on the gate of Qizhou city, saying how much money is left in Qizhou now, and the money is official silver. If something happens to Qizhou in the future, what kind of drought or flood, these are the relief funds.

This kind of thing was unheard of before, and it was considered a novelty, so as soon as the notice was posted, many people gathered around the city gate. The young scholar took his two children out to play. When the two children saw a group of people around the city gate, they had to go to see it. The scholar read the notice at the city gate to his children, and then said with bright eyes: "This is The newly appointed Lord Pei is really a good official, and this kind of thing does not shy away from the people at all."

"Dad, what is a good official?"

The child didn't understand what a good official was, so he asked his father with a small face with a candied gourd in his arms. Xiucai looked at the notice and sighed, "This newly appointed Lord Pei is a good official. I originally thought that the same person as before was here, but I don't want this Lord Pei. He is honest and honest.”

Xiucai's mouth was full of praise, and he was still amazed as he spoke, feeling that the new approach to the prefect was really good. If every sum of money allocated by the imperial court in the future can be made into such a notice, telling the people that there are still corrupt officials in this world, and even if there are corrupt officials, they will not dare to embezzle recklessly.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He even thought that in the future, if he was going to get a title, he would have to use Pei Ming's method to govern one side.

Not everyone knows how to read, and most of the people are illiterate.

When they saw a scholar beside them, they asked the scholar what was written on the notice. The scholar read the words aloud again, and this time everyone knew what was on the notice.

"I can't believe that our government in Qizhou City still has so much money?" The aunt who had a good thing looked at the notice in front of her and was amazed. The amount just said by Xiucai was something they would never see in their entire lives. .

"Yeah, that is, Mr. Pei posted a notice telling us that if other officials were greedy, they might be greedy."

"Hey, keep your voice down and be careful not to be heard." Some people still feel that this is still not true. When the people around them talk about the original officials, they can't help but remind them.

The speaker didn't take it seriously: "What are you afraid of, this Lord Pei just came and posted this kind of notice. He must be sensible. It's okay for others to hear what I said just now."

"Yes, looking at Mr. Pei should not be an unreasonable person."

It's not that the common people haven't heard of Master Qingtian, or a good official who is honest and honest, but they have never seen any of these. Master Qingtian is like a character in a book. Yes, this time Pei Ming took office and created the prefecture. The details of the money were announced, and the people felt that they might also meet Master Qingtian.

Some of them even thought that they might be able to turn to Pei Ming for any grievances they suffered in the future. Looking at the newly appointed prefects, they seem to be good, so I can't ignore them in the future.

Pei Ming stood behind the crowd, and listened to the people's praise to him, and slightly curved his lips. Xiao Li was a little surprised when she stood beside him. She didn't expect that Pei Ming would be praised by the local people just a few days later.

Seeing the surprise in Xiao Li's eyes, Pei Ming raised a big smile and said happily, "Madam, how do you feel about doing this for your husband?"

Pei Ming's words were full of pride, and Xiao Li couldn't help but said: "It's amazing."

Xiao Li first praised Pei Ming generously, and then asked curiously, "Where did you get the money?"

This amount of money is not a small amount, not to mention the temporary drought and flood disasters, even if the barbarians call at a time, using this money to buy food and grass can last a month.

Xiao Li was curious, but Pei Ming told the truth. After he finished speaking, Xiao Li became even more puzzled: "Will they pay the money willingly?"

Xiao Li had been a general and knew the way of the emperor. Pei Ming's actions would undoubtedly affect the interests of others. How could these people take it out so easily.

Pei Ming sighed and said, "These people are not at all honest and clean. They are often corrupt and bribery. When I come, they give gifts. How could I be complicit with them. But they send a lot of money, and they are all common people. I didn't want to return the money, so I used Uncle Huang to scare them. The emperor's name is really useful. As soon as I said I would tell Uncle Huang about this, these people changed their minds and said that they would save money for the common people. , used for emergency." It is said to be prepared for emergency, but in fact everyone knows what is going on in private.

It turned out to be in the name of the emperor. Hearing that Pei Ming said the emperor's name was really useful, Xiao Li nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed."

Under the whole world, could it be the king's land. The name of the emperor is more useful than anything else, after all, it is the era of the supremacy of imperial power.

Looking at the result of the notice at the city gate, Pei Ming was quite satisfied, and now some people have praised him. Compared with the obedience of several officials, the more important thing is the confidence of the people.

Pei Ming knew that the barbarians would invade in a year. Although there were soldiers in the northwest, as long as they didn't insist that they would rebel, these soldiers would not be in Xiao Li's hands temporarily. At this time, the first thing to do is to unite the people in the city. The enthusiasm of the people to defend their homes may be much higher than the enthusiasm of the soldiers to guard the city.

Soldiers may fail, and after they fail, they will comfort themselves with the reason that the battlefield is impermanent, but the people are different. This is the only home for them. If Qizhou City falls, they will have no home. Therefore, if the barbarians attack in the future, if Pei Ming can gather the people first and let the people guard the city, there may be unexpected gains.

This is also the reason why Pei Ming disregarded the officials when he entered the city, and wooed the people first.

Pei Ming and Xiao Li went back to the mansion together, and on the way they encountered a **** bridge that sold his body to bury his father.

But the prostitute was not a beauty that I felt pity for, but a little girl of thirteen and fourteen.

Pei Ming asked the coachman to park the carriage beside the little girl, opened the curtain and looked at the little girl thoughtfully.

Xiao Li looked at the little girl in front of her, looked at Pei Ming who was sitting in the carriage with her, and asked directly, "Do you want to buy her?"

If it is an ordinary wife, she may be silent at this time, or she may force a smile and ask her husband if it is time to go. But Xiao Li was different. If she wanted to ask, she just said it.

It is not uncommon for people to sell their bodies to bury their fathers. Most of these women are bought by wealthy businessmen or men who covet their beauty to be concubines and children. Although this little girl is not very old, some people just like to be young. In this era, the little girl who died of dystocia on the 14th and 15th is not without it.

So when Xiao Li saw that Pei Ming asked the carriage to stop here, he thought that Pei Ming also had this thought.

Pei Ming gave her a good impression, and the two got along well during this time. Xiao Li originally thought that Pei Ming was different from other men. She felt that Pei Ming did not look down on women, or looked down on women. But now she looked at the little girl kneeling on the ground, and at Pei Ming, her eyes were a little cold, not because of jealousy, but because she thought she was seeing the wrong person.

If Pei Ming was attracted to such a little girl, Xiao Li's eyes darkened.

Pei Ming didn't seem to feel the decreasing air pressure around him. He nodded and said, "I want to buy her."

The author says:

Pei Ming: It's good to buy it as a soldier!

I went out to live yesterday, I didn't bring a charger, I wrote 1,500, I cried while watching the computer shut down, I finally finished the 3,005 list today, woo woo
