Traveling in winter is very torturous. Cough, fever, and frostbite often occur in the team. Because the Zhao family has sufficient preparations and no shortage of medicines, the sick servants are well taken care of.Later, even when the soldiers who escorted the food had a minor illness, they would come to the doctor Zhao Shutong invited to make side medicines for them.

The task of these soldiers is to escort the relief food and the imperial envoys to Ganlong County. No one will think for them whether they will suffer from cold or get sick on the road. If they have money, they can still grab and take medicine. Take the sickness to the next level.

Zhao Shutong and Pei Qi felt very sympathetic to them, so they gave them some medicinal materials, and even allocated one of the doctors they had hired to treat them.

After walking for more than ten days in a row, Pei Qi, who had never complained of suffering, couldn't bear it any longer. He couldn't help but asked Zhao Shutong, "Husband, when can we go to Ganlong County?"

Zhao Shutong let Pei Qi lean in his arms, facing Zhao Zhuxin face to face, Pei Qi hugged Zhao Zhuxin in his arms.

"It's just a few days' work. Don't you have a few friends in the northwest, and when we settle down, you can invite them to our house." Zhao Shutong said.

Pei Qi counted Zhao Zhuxin's chubby fingers and said, "My best friend is Xu Wenlan. Although he is in the northwest, he is on the border between the northwest and the Qiang people, six hundred miles away from Ganlong County. There are two good friends in the boudoir, both of whom married young generals from the general's family, and their husband's family is far away from Ganlong County."

Seeing Pei Qi's regretful expression, Zhao Shutong comforted him, "If it's not convenient for them to come, we can visit them when we are free."

"Before I came here, I heard that Ning'an Hou's resident and tribes including the Qiang people will hold a trading market every spring and autumn. Every time for [-] days, some of the things in our wool shop flow into the market through the trading market. From the Qiang people. If I can stabilize the affairs of Ganlong County within eight months, we can go to the market to learn more." Zhao Shutong said.

Hearing that Zhao Shutong was going to take him to play with the Qiang people, Pei Qi became visibly happy.

"Then husband, you must hurry up and manage the people of Ganlong County well."

"I will do it for my husband, and I may need my husband's help when the time comes." Zhao Shutong said.

"How can I help?" Pei Qi asked.

"Xiqi can do a lot. My husband needs Xixi to take care of the inner house, make friends with his wife, and lead the people when necessary." Zhao Shutong said.In ancient times, wife diplomacy was used in the inner house. As the county magistrate, he was already regarded as the emperor of one side, and Pei Qi had a great reputation. Zhao Shutong felt that it would be better to put the wife diplomacy on the bright side.

"No problem, my husband, I'm very good at these things." Pei Qi, who was suddenly entrusted with a heavy responsibility, was not at all afraid, and vowed that he would be a good housekeeper.

Seeing Pei Qi's eagerness to try, Zhao Shutong thought it was funny. When he was in the capital, he had elders to take care of him and servants to help him, so it was easy for Pei Qi to do anything.When he arrived in Ganlong County, he wouldn't think that being the county magistrate's husband would be the same as being in the capital.

"I believe in Qiqi. When we arrive in Ganlong County, I hope that the people will know that the county magistrate's husband and the county magistrate are good people and officials who are dedicated to the people. I don't want the county magistrate's wife and his personal servant to bring the house Rumors about the only young man who played dice and Pai Gow spread to the market."

"Well, I'm not too boring." Under Zhao Shutong's gaze, Pei Qi's voice became lower and lower.

Two days ago, Zhao Shutong went to discuss matters with the two imperial envoys. He was bored with Zhao Zhuxin in the carriage, so he asked Qian He to find a pair of dice. This was the only time he played dice on the way. Zhao Shutong caught him on the spot and said he didn't take Zhao Zhuxin well, and he hasn't turned the page yet.

Sensing that the atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became serious, Zhao Zhuxin looked at the expressionless father, and at the guilty Eunuch, completely unaware of what happened.

Pei Qi's gaze met Zhao Zhuxin's, and he felt even more guilty.He buried Zhao Zhuxin in his arms, "Husband, Little Sweet Potato is sleepy and even yawned, I'll take Little Sweet Potato to sleep for a while, you go and see father-in-law."

"Little sweet potato sleepy?" Zhao Shutong looked at his son.

"I'm sleepy, I'm sleepy, I'm going to cry if I don't sleep, right, little sweet potato." Pei Qi rubbed Zhao Zhuxin's small face and said.

Zhao Zhuxin who was forcibly trapped and crying if not allowed to sleep:? ? ?

"Then I'll go talk to my dad, Xiqi, you put Little Sweet Potato to sleep. My father-in-law and mother-in-law miss Little Sweet Potato very much. When we went to rest at the inn at night, we discussed writing a letter to father-in-law and mother-in-law to tell him about Little Sweet Potato's recent situation." , so that they can feel at ease." Zhao Shutong said.

After Zhao Shutong finished speaking and got out of the carriage, Pei Qi couldn't help making a face at Zhao Shutong's back, wanting to kick him.

"What's the big deal, don't think that you can write letters, and I can too."

"How old are you, and you still want to sue, you can't lose face."

Pei Qiguang just blamed Zhao Shutong, not counting, but also took his anger on Zhao Zhuxin.

Pei Qi asked Zhao Zhuxin to face him, and clenched his two small fists with both hands, "Little Sweet Potato, you are not good, and Eminem didn't tell you that you can't watch things you shouldn't be watching. Eminem is playing games, why are you If you don’t sleep, you have to watch with your little eyes open.”

"Don't learn from the good ones, learn from the bad ones, why are you so stupid."

Bai Ling and Qian He who were notified to come over to serve her: ...

The young master is still so young, how can he tell the difference between good and bad, the master husband often let the young master take the blame because the young master can't speak, the young master is really pitiful.

"Master, the young master is sleepy." Qianhe reminded reluctantly.

Seeing Zhao Zhuxin who was not sleepy at first, the eyelids of his eyes kept drooping, his eyes were teary, and he hurriedly said, "Hey, Eminem's dear baby, don't cry, Eminem will make your bed right away , let you sleep, and no one will call you until you are full of sleep."

With the help of Qian He, Pei Qi hurriedly stuffed Zhao Zhuxin into the bed.

Pei Qi kissed Zhao Zhuxin on the forehead, and exaggeratedly said, "Em has never seen a more well-behaved child than Little Sweet Potato."

Qian He felt that the master husband flattered the young master in order not to cry.

If I knew I was going to coax the young master like this, why did I provoke him before.

Not many people knew about Pei Qi playing dice on the carriage.Although Old Man Zhao felt that it was inappropriate for Pei Qi to play dice in front of his grandson, he was tolerant of him.In the old man Zhao's heart, Zhao Shutong's ability to marry Pei Qi is Gao Pan. Even Zhao Shutong had bad intentions and harmed other people's children. The other children didn't care about it. After entering the door, things in their family became smoother. Zhao old man thought that Pei Qi She is a good daughter-in-law of Wangjia Wangfu, and she doesn't want Zhao Shutong to have feelings for Pei Qi.There is also bullying other people's children as soon as they go out. Parents-in-law and mother-in-law love their daughter-in-law, and they may not know what to think. The old man Zhao proposed to ask Zhao Shutong to point out what Pei Qi did wrong, so that Pei Qi can correct it slowly.

Zhao Shutong was speechless, his father was in a panic because he was sitting idle in the carriage, and he loved to think about it.If the father-in-law and mother-in-law knew that Pei Xiaoqi was letting himself go in front of Zhao Zhuxin, Pei Xiaoqi would definitely be unlucky.Although the father-in-law and mother-in-law doted on Pei Qi and were sometimes indiscriminate, they could definitely stand up in the face of big right and wrong.Before Zhao Zhuxin could remember anything, he just reminded Pei Qi not to mess around in front of the children, so as not to form a habit.

The winter in the Northwest is dry and cold, and there are only two or three snowfalls in one winter. Fortunately, the group did not encounter snow. When they entered the boundary of Hoi Ninh Province, there were only a few traces of snow left on the road.

As the imperial envoys entered the northwest, the atmosphere on Li Shangshu and Lin Shangshu's carriage gradually became serious.

The explorers came back and reported that all the villages along the road were empty.According to the observations of the pathfinders, these villages have been empty for about two or three years, and some villages are still scattered with some uncontained bones, with traces of teeth gnawing on them.

It is conceivable that since the beginning of the drought, the number of people in these villages began to decrease. Some decisively took their families out to escape, some were forced to live without living, and some died of starvation. The stupidity of officials led to such villages Decline and extinction.

Everyone in Daqi knew that during the drought in the northwest, the people in the northwest suffered huge devastation.

But when we really face such a tragedy, we will know how many cruel and bloody stories are contained here.

It was not that no one coveted the relief food they carried along the way. Fortunately, there were soldiers from the army guarding them. In order to prevent another riot in Ganlong, the King of Chu stayed in Ganlong County and did not leave. No one dared to attack Zhao Shutong and the others.

Zhao Shutong didn't tell Pei Qi, Old Man Zhao and others about these things, but the carriages of the imperial envoys came and went more frequently.

"County Zhao, Ning Province has a long way to go just to restore the former situation." Lin Shangshu sighed to Zhao Shutong.

"My lord, I'm just a county magistrate. I can't think of something so far away." Zhao Shutong said.

Lin Shangshu thought of the suppression of the King of Chu in Ganlong County these days, so there was no major disturbance.But the situation is not necessarily better than these sparsely populated villages and isolated places. There are fewer people, at least there are fewer things. Convince them that if the king of Chu withdraws from this area again, he will face the risk of family ruin anytime and anywhere.

It's not easy to clean up this mess, so I don't have the heart to think about other things.

Lin Shangshu patted Zhao Shutong on the shoulder, "If Zhao County Magistrate can manage Ganlong County well, it will be a great achievement. When you are promoted in the future, the old man will ask Lin San to come and congratulate you."

Because after Zhao Shutong came to be a guest last time, Lin San stopped messing around all day long, and even began to try to find out what he was good at. Three friends.

Zhao Shutong got a lot of points from Lin Shangshu along the way, and he didn't say that he was disgusting and wouldn't let his children come over.Although Lin San is a dandy, like Pei Qi before, he just likes to have fun by himself and has never done anything harmful to nature. Zhao Shutong has no ill feeling towards Lin San.

"Old Lin, you are very optimistic about County Magistrate Zhao." After Zhao Shutong resigned, Li Shangshu said.

"You are also very optimistic about him."

"County Zhao has no ambitions in his eyes. With his previous achievements, he can reach a high position in the capital step by step. I don't know if it is good or bad to be sent to Ganlong County." Li Shangshu said.

Li Shangshu is the emperor's confidant if he can achieve the position of Minister of the Ministry of household affairs.

In his opinion, for a person like Zhao Shutong who has no ambitions, it's fine if he says it's good, but it's bad if he says it's bad.The good thing is that you can focus on doing practical things for the people, and the bad thing is this too. Maybe one day, for some ordinary people or principles, the sky will be pierced.

"There's that old fox Pei Shen watching, let's just follow along and watch the show." Lin Shangshu said, in his opinion, Zhao Shutong was not frightened by his son's reputation as a dude, and dared to make friends with his son and persuade his son to make progress. Not someone who doesn't know how to be tactful.It is true that such a person is indifferent to external things, and he will definitely protect himself.

"I received news in the past two days that the emperor promoted Pei Shen as soon as we left the capital," Li Shangshu said.

"Pei Shen acted fast enough. Wang Shangshu touched his little brother. How could Pei Shen tolerate him showing off his might?"

Pei Shangshu's previous opportunities for promotion were all made by himself.The first emperor thought he was useful, so he kept him in the position of servant.Later, when the old Shangshu in front of Wang Shangshu retired, Pei Shen, who was older than Wang Shangshu, should have taken over the position of Shangshu.But at that time, the struggle between the former emperor and the princes was fierce, and all the princes wanted to arrange manpower for the official department, or arrange their own manpower to key positions through the official department.Pei Shen was discouraged, and made a big or small mistake, giving up the position of Shang Shu.

In order to secure his position as Shangshu, Wang Shangshu raised his hands to several princes.When the emperor and the king of Chu had the upper hand, they secretly took refuge in the emperor.

When the King of Chu was looking for Pei Shen in private, Pei Shen pushed him back, but now the emperor has slapped Wang Shangshu for Pei Shen, it can be seen that in his heart, Pei Shen is much more important than Wang Shangshu.

Not long after entering Dongyue, the imperial envoy's team finally arrived in Ganlong County.
