The husband is a love brain

Not long after the new year, the county government escorted a group of prisoners out to parade the public, this time there were hundreds of people, it was Xie Yi who sent a team over to guard the group of prisoners.

One hundred prisoners in shackles walking on the street one by one, it is still very shocking to the eyes.

"What crimes did these prisoners commit?" asked the people watching from the side of the road.

"These are the bandits from Delong County. They burned, killed, looted, and raped women. They planned to rob our Ganlong County of relief food a few days ago. Fortunately, the county magistrate saw through their plot. The King of Chu personally led troops to arrest them. stop them."

"The king of Chu caught it well, otherwise we wouldn't be able to live a peaceful life, and the life-saving food would be ruined by these bandits."

"It's not bad that the new county magistrate doesn't like it now, but I won't know in the future. His Highness the King of Chu is really the protector of our northwest. If the county magistrate does something bad, we will go to His Highness the King of Chu to punish him."

"Yes, tell the King of Chu. With the King of Chu here, we are not afraid of anything."

"We're starving to death for these bastards, and they came to snatch ours, thinking that there is no one in Ganlong County. If they hadn't been caught by the government, I would have killed them."

"Kill them."

Someone threw a stone from the crowd and hit the leader of the bandit, causing a lump to appear on the forehead of the bandit leader.The people who saw this scene seemed to have opened the floodgates, and threw stones, branches, and grass stems at the bandits one after another.Now that people have nothing to eat or drink, no one is willing to throw away rotten eggs and rotten leaves.

Zhao Shutong felt that the ancient costume dramas in his previous life misunderstood people deeply.

The poor yamen servants and soldiers guarding these prisoners were all accidentally injured. They could only scare the people along the way by yelling, but the people became angry. A few reprimands from the soldiers had no deterrent effect at all.

Pei Qi and Zhao Shutong were in the Qixing Building in the center of the county, watching the parade below.

They heard a few words of discussion below, but they did not expect that the king of Chu personally suppressed the rebellion in Ganlong County, and in the hearts of most people in Ganlong County, the image of King Chu was not bad.

"My lord, the common people really hate these bandits." Pei Qi said to Zhao Shutong, now he knew what it meant to say that everyone shouted and beat the rats crossing the street.

Bandits are not street rats.

"Well, these prisoners are going to parade in our Ganlong County for ten days, and they have plenty of time to vent their anger on the people." Zhao Shutong said.

"After the parade, it's time to organize the spring plowing, my husband, take me with you when you inspect the spring plowing." Pei Qi looked at Zhao Shutong flatteringly.

Knowing that Zhao Shutong didn't intend to take Chun Geng with him when he was inspecting Chun Geng, Pei Qi couldn't be more unhappy.

Zhao Shutong shook his head, "No, I'm doing business, not traveling. You can't help me if you follow me, and I don't have time to accompany you."

"I can help you do business."

"What can you do?" Zhao Shutong looked at Pei Qi suspiciously.

"Don't look down on people, I can help deliver sweet potatoes, and bless our sweet potato harvest in Ganlong County this year."

"Ahem." Zhao Gui pursed his lips and almost couldn't help laughing.

Zhao Shutong looked at Pei Qi with interest, because Pei Xiaoqi didn't like the title of "Sweet Potato Empress" because of the story of "Sweet Potato Empress".It's a pity that you, the Sweet Potato Empress, are fake and were promoted to the altar, so Zhao Shutong continued to reject Pei Qi heartlessly.

"I'll go check out the situation first, and I'll take you with me when the sweet potatoes are harvested next time. I'll write to you wherever I go. You stay at home, buy property, take care of the little sweet potatoes and Orphanage children."

Pei Qi answered listlessly.

Zhao Shutong made up his mind not to take him with him, no matter how much he pestered him, he couldn't change Zhao Shutong's mind.

At the end of the first day of the parade, these bandits were escorted to the prison, and each of them died half-dead, with many small wounds on their bodies.

I thought this would be torture to them, but what made these bandits feel even more frenzied was that the magistrate of Ganlong County even sent a doctor to infuse them with bitter medicine juice for healing and health. How good, but will definitely fill each of them up.

Do not think that this is good for them.

This benevolent surface hides deep malice towards the bandits. Several nearby counties have agreed to parade them in the street. Zhao Shutong treats them like this because he is afraid that they will die like this and save a few days of torture. bitter.When people are bored, they need to vent. Zhao Shutong doesn't want the people of Ganlong County to do something destructive, so he can only work hard for these bandits.

The few bandit leaders who saw through this intention not only refused to eat or drink, but also asked their subordinates not to eat or drink what the dog officer gave them.

But when they are in prison, eating, drinking, and lassing really can't help them to decide by themselves.

"Bah, it's a waste to let these beasts drink these good medicines." One of the cell leaders who poured the medicine on the bandits cursed.

"Stop talking nonsense, my lord paid us some money and set up a banquet for us. Hurry up and feed this group of beasts. Let's go eat wine." Another cell boss said.

If it weren't for these bandits who refused to drink the medicine obediently, they wouldn't need to stay in prison at this time, they would have gone out with the brothers who led the bandits parading the streets to eat delicious food and drink spicy food.

Thinking of this, the cell boss spit twice into the medicine given to them in front of the bandits.

The leader of the bandits wanted to fight the cell boss desperately, but his hands and feet were chained, so he was not the opponent of these cell bosses.He was beaten up and force-fed two bowls of unclean medicine.

The second and third days of parading were similar to the first day, so Pei Qi didn't go to see the fun.

When the people were no longer so excited and the number of people throwing stones at these bandits decreased, Zhao Shutong asked people to post notices, and at the same time asked the servants to beat gongs and drums everywhere to let the people come to the government with land deeds to pick up sweet potato seedlings. Twenty catties of sweet potatoes are subsidized for each mu of land.

Hearing such a good thing, people who are still worried about not having enough sweet potatoes this year flock to the county government to get sweet potatoes.All of a sudden, the workload of the county government surged.

The county government was short of manpower, so Zhao Shutong kept half of the guards he hired to protect his family, and arranged for the other half to serve as government servants.

Rich merchants such as Mrs. Huang's natal family not only did not take advantage of the county government to receive sweet potatoes, but also became servants to help distribute sweet potatoes to the people.

One is to manage one's own reputation, and the other is to sell it to the county magistrate.

They finally understood that after the magistrate took office, everything he did was beneficial to the people of Ganlong County.

A businessman seeks profit, and the family of a wealthy businessman helps him. Zhao Shutong doesn't think it's because of his charisma that he conquered these people.Maybe someone hid the land, or did something criminal, and wanted to follow his path.Zhao Shutong hasn't found out the details of these wealthy businessmen yet, and they continued to show affection, but they didn't show closeness to any of them.

After these two things were done, the bandits in Delong County were handed over to the next county, and Zhao Shutong took people to inspect the spring plowing in various villages and towns.

The first place he went was Zhou Township, not far from the county seat.

On the first day of leaving, I sent two letters home.

One is for Pei Qi and one is for Zhao Zhuxin.The ones for Pei Qi were put in a big envelope. As for the letter for Zhao Zhuxin, Zhao Shutong specially made a small envelope and wrote him a small letter.

When Pei Qi saw the little envelope Zhao Shutong made for Zhao Zhuxin, he was a little jealous, "Write me a letter, you don't care so much about Little Sweet Potato."

Bai Ling persuaded from the side, "The master is not only caring for the young master, but for both the master husband and the young master. That's why he deliberately separated the letters from the master husband and the young master."

Pei Qi snorted, but didn't say whether Bai Ling was right or not.After sending Bai Ling away, Pei Qi began to read Zhao Shutong's letter.

The letter to Pei Qi began with how Zhao Shutong began to miss him as soon as he left Pei Qi. He missed Pei Qi when he walked up and down. Then he told Pei Qi about the situation in Zhou Township and asked Pei Qi to take good care of him. home.

Pei Qi was quite satisfied with the letter from Zhao Shutong.Then, without any sense of guilt, he opened the little letter Zhao Shutong sent to Zhao Zhuxin.

Zhao Shutong's letter to Zhao Zhuxin contained two small paintings, one was a picture of a shepherd grazing sheep, and the other was a picture of a farmer raising seedlings and planting sweet potatoes in full swing. Zhao Zhuxin mentioned these in his letter to Pei Qi, but there were no pictures like this intuitive.

Pei Qi hummed twice, showed Zhao Zhuxin a look, and put the painting away.

Although Zhao Shutong was not at home, he would send someone to deliver letters to Pei Qi every day, but Pei Qi didn't think about him that much, and he was able to concentrate on doing his own things.

The author has something to say: I really want to do a 9-coin transaction with you, but I think this chapter is perfect as written here, and there is no need to add more follow-up plots.
