Dressed As the Deadly Opponent of the Male Protagonist of the Imperial Examination

"Brother, don't forget, the magistrate Zhang, but just got a'unjust wealth'..." Pei Yunxiao hinted: "Isn't it just right to use this money to benefit the people?"

Since Tang Heng was going to be famous in Qingshan County for his "water-lifting truck" sooner or later, Pei Yunxiao simply pushed him to make the matter a little more powerful.

"Master Zhang?" Tang Hang was surprised: "Is he willing?"

Zhang Bai acted as the middleman between Fenyanghou and Yangang this time, and he did eat a lot of kickbacks, but is he really willing to take it out?

Pei Yunxiao is confident: "Don't worry, he will be willing to have me here."

Tang Heng immediately understood.

Yes, who is Pei Yunxiao? If she speaks, does Zhang Bai have any reason not to listen?

Early the next morning, Pei Yunxiao took Tang Hang to the gate of Qingshan County's government.

"Dare to ask if you two are..." The concierge greeted him, and looked at Pei Yunxiao's aura, feeling that he didn't dare to offend him.

Pei Yunxiao took out the token of Pei's family and handed it to the concierge: "Please hand this thing to the magistrate in person, just say...the old person is visiting."

Seeing that the token was simple and heavy, the concierge knew that it was an important object.

But for a moment, the county magistrate Zhang Bai trot all the way, holding the token in both hands and greeted him.

"The lower official has seen Young Master Pei!" Zhang Bai's voice was shaking with excitement.

If Pei’s Xiaoqi from five years ago was just the favored younger of Pei’s family, then Pei Yunxiao, five years later, is the most promising younger of Pei’s in Beijing. Only two or three years at most, she must go to the court and take up six important posts!

So even if Pei Yunxiao in front of him is only a fourteen-year-old boy, Zhang Bai must do his best to flatter him.

"Master county magistrate, don't come here unharmed?" Pei Yunxiao greeted him.

Zhang Bai was flattered: "Seventh Young Master still remembers to be an official. It's a great honor to be an official!"

"Of course I remember. In the past few years, I have to ask the magistrate to take care of my elder brother, how can I forget?" Pei Yunxiao looked at Tang Hang beside him.

Zhang Bai's heart burst.

When Pei Yunxiao first left, they naturally took care of Tang Hang with their heart. But after that, Pei Yunxiao never came back, only to hear that the Wang family mentioned that the two had a correspondence.

One is the proud son of heaven and the other is a farm boy. Zhang Bai naturally thinks that Pei Yunxiao is afraid that he has forgotten Tang Hang.

But he didn't expect... Zhang Bai regretted a little, but he didn't expect Tang Heng this kid to be very capable, he really took a look.

"Master county magistrate? What do you think?" Pei Yunxiao smiled secretly when he saw Zhang Bai in a daze. Can she not see through this group of speculators who are holding high and stepping on low?

Zhang Bai suddenly came back to his senses: "The official impolite! Please come to the office to talk to Master Pei and Tang."

Entering the door, taking a seat, and serving tea, Pei Yunxiao still looks like an old **** on the ground, and Zhang Bai is a little worried.

"Prince Pei, you are here..." Zhang Bai was cautious: "Is it because who in the county ran into you? Annoyed you? Don't worry, you will not tolerate it!"

Only then did Pei Yunxiao put down the teacup in his hand and slowly said, "The magistrate is thinking too much. I said, I am here to thank the magistrate for taking care of my brother."

Zhang Bai's back was cold. This... doesn't sound like a good thing.

"Prince Pei must never! Isn't this, hasn't he been dismissed?"

Pei Yunxiao smiled kindly: "The magistrate's words are wrong. My elder brother and I are both people with clear grievances and grievances. If we have gratitude, we will get revenge, and if we have grudges... of course, we will get revenge. If you stop us from repaying, why not? Didn't it make us violate the rule of standing?"

The corners of Zhang Bai's mouth twitched faintly, and he had to smile: "Yes, yes! What the son of Pei said. Dare to ask how do you want to repay... Uh, thank you?" Zhang Bai's heart trembled when he said the word "en".

Pei Yunxiao looked at Tang Hang: "Let my brother talk about this matter."

Upon hearing this, Tang Heng took out the drawings in his sleeves and told Zhang Bai about the construction of the waterwheel.

As Zhang Bai listened, he muttered in his heart. If this can be done, it will certainly benefit the township, and it will be a great achievement for him in Qingshan County. Could it be that Pei Yunxiao really came to repay his favor?

"Prince Pei is really a wise eye and knowing beads. This waterwheel is indeed a practical thing. If it can be built, it will be a great achievement!" Zhang Bai's flattery is never late.

"I don't know if you are an official, what can you do for the two sons?"

Pei Yunxiao was very satisfied with Zhang Bai's teachings and cleared his throat: "The county magistrate is a parent official in Qingshan County, and he is dedicated to the people's sake. If the waterwheel is built, it will naturally be promoted to farmers in the county. Fang Can demonstrate the talents of adults.

It's just that building a waterwheel requires manpower, material resources, and financial resources. A waterwheel was inverted, but if it were to build waterwheels throughout the county, my brother and I could not cope with it. From this, I thought of asking the magistrate to take the lead and use the power of the whole county to help create waterwheels and alleviate the drought on the farmland as soon as possible. "

Zhang Bai only then heard what Pei Yunxiao meant. The two of them are here to ask for money today!

However, if this matter is really successful, of course there will be a share of the credit, and a good reputation in front of Pei Yunxiao, Zhang Bai is willing.

"Master Pei is concerned about the people's livelihood, and the officials admire him. Please don't worry, Master Pei will contact Yincao and allocate the county money to help Master Tang."

"Hey, the magistrate, wait a minute." Pei Yunxiao suddenly stopped him: "The money in the county is useful, so rash withdrawal, doesn't it violate the law?"

"What's more, my elder brother is just an idea for this car, and a lot of experimentation is needed. If the public funds are wasted, neither the sire nor I can confess to your majesty!"

Zhang Bai was taken aback: "That Young Master Pei means..."

Pei Yunxiao stood up and adjusted his dressing gown: "My lord, why don't you mobilize the county gentry to raise funds for this?"

"What?" Zhang Bai was shocked. This method is unheard of!

"Everything is prosperous, and everything is damaged. The people can't eat enough, and there is no harvest of grain. Everyone can't take care of themselves, can they?" Pei Yunxiao said sternly.

"Adults govern the county well, and the rich and common people, everyone contributes a little, all rivers converge, and they will become the ocean. When I succeed in the day, I will ask the court for credit. Naturally, I will not forget everyone's credit."

"This..." Zhang Bai was speechless, unable to refute.

Only then did Pei Yunxiao look loose, and smiled: "Don't worry, my lord, I am definitely not the one who waits for selfishness and sits on the sidelines."

With that, she took out a hundred taels of silver slip from her sleeve and put it on the table.

"For the fundraising matter, the magistrate, the parent official, should be asked to personally manage it."

Zhang Bai's eyes flickered, but after all he took it. Pei Yunxiao paid the money first, and Jin Cancan's political achievements were waiting later, but Zhang Bai could not find a reason to refuse.

"By the way, when I went to the cabinet to withdraw money today, I ran into the steward of the Zheng Family Salt Company to save money. When I asked, I found out that the Zheng Family is the largest salt merchant in the city today. Your magistrate, this is right. It's the one we should mobilize!"

Zheng Family Salt Number! Zhang Bai shook his hand and almost dropped the banknote on the ground.

Isn't that the salt of his wife and brother?

Only then did he understand why Pei Yunxiao approached him for money. Is this asking for money? This is a threat!

If he manages this matter properly, his political achievements are counted on himself; if he does not do it properly, the Zheng family monopolizes the salt market...

"Yes, Young Master Pei rest assured, the next official will do his best!" Zhang Bai was sweating, and he didn't dare to say more.

After leaving the county government office, Pei Yunxiao looked complacent, but Tang Heng was a little worried.

"Brother Xiao, mobilizing the whole county in this way will cause dissatisfaction among the wealthy households in the county?"

"Dissatisfaction?" Pei Yunxiao coldly snorted: "The lambs still know the grace of nurturing. These people who eat the blood and sweat of the people and squander the enjoyment, even this little bit of reward is not worth it?"

"Furthermore," Pei Yunxiao smiled slyly: "I handed the matter over to Zhang Bai, my brother guessed, who is the most like sitting on pins and needles when everyone contributes?"

"It's Zhang Bai and Zheng's family." Tang Heng didn't need to guess: "If they pay less, others will naturally refuse to pay more, and Zhang Bai will not be able to deal with you; only if they pay more can they comfort other wealthy households. ."

"No." Pei Yunxiao tilted his head and said, "You said, I have been out of one hundred taels, are Zhang Bai and Zheng family ashamed to be less than one hundred taels?"

Tang Heng had to nod in admiration. Pei Yunxiao's trick is indeed clever.

That night, Zhang Bai had just received a hundred taels of silver from Fenyanghou, and he was about to take it out before he covered his heat.

Tang Hang looked at Pei Yunxiao thoughtfully. With such a background, such a city government, he is willing to do this for ordinary people. Even if he will only meet Pei Yunxiao in his entire life!

"Brother, what you have to do now is to recruit people and build waterwheels. The workers' wages must be paid more! After all, the money is enough!" Pei Yunxiao pointed out intentionally.

This is a good time to buy people's hearts, especially if you don't need to spend your own money to get people's hearts, don't be too cool!

When Pei Yunxiao returned to the inn, he summoned Jinnian with a look of excitement:

"Jinian, give you a task."

Jinnian is thinking about it-who is this little son to be calculating again?

"Tang Hang is going to build a waterwheel, and the county magistrate is going to raise funds from the entire county. It is best to be the men, women, and children of Qingshan County. No one knows it!"

"Eh, by the way, don't tell me about my money."

"Why is this? Isn't it a good thing for the little son to help the people?" Jinnian puzzled.

"What do I want this reputation for?" Pei Yunxiao didn't care at all. She only needs to let the people who should know it.

Besides, in her current capacity, she shouldn't do too many deviant behaviors. It's not easy to think about my grandfather, so I won't trouble him.

Zhang Bai really didn't dare to perfuse things. In the afternoon, the wealthy gentry with some assets in the county were summoned to the county government for a close talk.

According to Jinnian's return, when these people came out, their faces were not very good.

"Little son, isn't this a bit wrong? In this way, these wealthy gentry who want to pay don't remember that they hate Lord Tang?" Jinnian was worried.

Pei Yunxiao just opened his mouth: "They hate Tang Heng, what does it have to do with me, Pei Yunxiao?"

Jinnian:? ? ?
