After rebirth, I joined forces with my mortal enemy to seek revenge.

Li Qian, whose name was called, looked at his colleagues around him. Resigned to his fate, he stood up and bowed, "Back to Ming Mansion, we have only discussed the plan roughly, but it has not been finalized yet. Do you want to read it now?"

"Since it hasn't been drawn up, it's not too late to wait. I happen to have a drafted charter here." As she said this, she looked at Li Xiujing who was standing aside, and said with a cupped hand: "It just so happens that Li Qishi is here, why don't we take a look at it together. "

After saying this, Pei Jiaoran pushed the letter to Li Xiujing and started talking according to the memory in his mind. Although her voice is soft, her momentum is not weak at all.

Li Xiujing, who had already read the contents of the paper while speaking, stared at Pei Jiaoran's side face, and his eyes gradually became solemn.

When Pei Jiaoran finished speaking what was written on the paper, all the subordinates looked surprised. Why is Mingfu different today from the past?

Ignoring the surprise in their eyes, Pei Jiaoran asked: "What do you think? If you think there is something inappropriate, feel free to raise it."

Seeing those people frowning, they seemed to be thinking. Pei Jiaoran then turned his head and looked at Li Xiujing. A hint of doubt was caught in the other party's gentle gaze.

"Li Cishi, what do you think?" Pei Jiaoran curled his lips, his tone was respectful, and his eyes were focused on him. She had clashed with Li Xiujing several times in her previous life, and she knew very well that this person seemed gentle and easy to get along with, but in fact he was very cunning.

If he wants to control the situation in Guazhou and pave the way for the future, he must win over him.

"Pei Mingfu, why are you always staring at me?" Li Xiujing put down the paper and smiled softly.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran was slightly stunned. He turned his head to avoid Li Xiujing's gaze and looked at the staff below.

Jinchang County, where she is now located, is considered a medium-sized county in the national rankings.

There are a total of forty-five people in the county office. On weekdays, there are about fifteen people walking around in the public house, but today only half of them came. For the other half, the reason for not coming is self-evident. They are just worried about offending others by following her.

A stick of incense passed by. The lieutenants were still frowning and had no intention of speaking.

"Li County Lieutenant."

Li Qian, whose name was called, stood up with an indifferent expression, "Mingfu, what are your orders?"

"Li County Lieutenant, you also know the accounts of the Yamen. Hexi suffered a drought this year and the harvest was bad. People are living a difficult life." Pei Jiaoran glanced at him and said warmly: "Since the county magistrate has asked for leave, you have to worry more about some things. "

"Don't worry Mingfu, I will definitely handle this matter well." Li Qian stroked his beard and said calmly and solemnly.

"Okay, that's it for today. Everyone, go back and think carefully about how to pay taxes this year. Remember not to make the people suffer, but also to satisfy the court."

Pei Jiaoran gave the order and everyone left one after another. Only she, the official, and Li Xiujing were left in the room.

The wildly dancing yellow sand had stopped for a while, and the dusk fell on the ground through the window frame. There is a dry smell unique to Hexi floating in the air.

Li Zuo looked at the two of them and stepped back wisely.

There were only two people left in the public room. Pei Jiaoran lowered his head and glanced at the rough stone floor tiles under his feet. In his mind, he couldn't help but recall the scenes in his previous life where he and Li Xiujing had fought against each other several times. He cursed secretly.

Time passed little by little, and Pei Jiaoran kept looking down at the ground.

"Are these floor tiles so beautiful?"

"No." Pei Jiaoran looked up suddenly, only to find Li Xiujing standing in front of him, staring at him with burning eyes. There is a smile in the dark and deep phoenix eyes.

Meeting Li Xiujing's gaze, Pei Jiaoran's eyes flashed with a hint of disgust, and he smiled and said, "It's getting late, won't Li Governor go back?"

"You..." Li Xiujing's raised hand fell again. He withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice: "You are recovering from your illness, so you should have a good rest. You don't have to bear everything on yourself."

After saying this, Li Xiujing strode away.

Looking at Li Xiujing's leaving figure, Pei Jiaoran's eyes were filled with surprise. Why is this person so different from the person in my memory? He looks very weird.

Rubbing his forehead, Pei Jiaoran sighed. Stepping out of the public house towards the backyard.

Walking on the corridor, Pei Jiaoran raised his head and looked at the lantern on the corner of the eaves, his eyes gradually becoming solemn.

Her thoughts are really confused now. She hated this feeling of being out of control.

"The girl is back." Bi Fei, who was doing the cleaning, looked at her and came forward, "Dinner is ready."

Pei Jiaoran, who was recalled from his thoughts, responded lightly and crossed the threshold. Go to the food table and sit down.

He lowered his eyes and glanced at the food table. All the food on the food table is unique to Jinchang, and the familiar smell of mutton fills your nose. Pei Jiaoran frowned slightly.

After taking a few bites, she put down her chopsticks and lowered her head to drink tea. His eyebrows furrowed.

"Girl?" Bi Fei called.

Bi Fei's concerned voice came to his ears. Pei Jiaoran raised his head and smiled and said, "I'm fine. It's not early, so you should go and rest first."

After Bi Fei left, Pei Jiaoran leaned towards Ping Ji behind him with a tired look on his face. His thoughts returned to the last cup of poisonous wine in his memory, and the bitter taste burst out of his mind, along with the bone-piercing pain in his heart.

The hands on his knees were clenched into fists, and Pei Jiaoran had a sneer on his face.

Taking a deep breath, she stood up and walked to the desk. Pick up the pen and start writing on the paper.

It’s different from the deliberate writing style before. The handwriting on the paper has its own style and character. After putting down the pen, Pei Jiaoran's eyes fell on the last word.

As a medium-sized county, Jinchang has county captains, county magistrates, and chief clerks under the county magistrate. She remembered that behind these three people, they actually all had their own loyalties.

The two people who took leave today seemed to have a good relationship with General Jinchang.

Knocking on the table with his fingers, Pei Jiaoran's face became more solemn. The Jinchang in front of him was simply a mess, and could even be said to break at the touch of a touch. But now the court is pressing hard for taxes.

Thinking of this, Pei Jiaoran stood up and took out a few account books from the desk behind him. Looking at the contents of the account book, she pursed her lips slightly.

Hexi suffered a drought last summer, and Shandong happened to suffer from floods.

Originally, it was easy for the imperial court to be biased in allocating funds. Last time, Hexi simply ignored Anxi's appeal and only focused on Shandong, so that Hexi could only find a way to solve it on his own.

Jinchang County under Guazhou has a total of 2,477 county households, with a total population of about 10,000 people. If you want to satisfy the court and not hurt the people, you will have to put in a lot of effort.

Flipping through the account book, Pei Jiaoran's eyes fell on the professional soldier above. A smile appeared on his lips and he closed the account book. The seriousness in his eyes gradually dissipated.

It’s not that there is no way to do some things, but it depends on whether you can do it.

Knocking on the table with his fingers, Pei Jiaoran smiled playfully. He stood up and went to the mirror to remove the hosta from his hair. He looked at the young face in the mirror and raised his lips slightly.

He walked to the couch and lay down, staring at the ceiling. The name of the Jinchang County general came to Pei Jiaoran's mind.

"That general seems to be a bad person."

Under the influence of strong sleepiness, Pei Jiaoran finally fell into a deep sleep.
