Chapter 5 Qiao Feng, who can't subdue the dragon and eighteen palms

Peng Mansion!

"I have met the Peng Dong family!" Yao Governor Shi Gu Xin bowed deeply with a little bit of humility.

Peng Qi was flattered and stepped forward to support him, saying, "Why is Lord Changshi like this?"

The chief of the prefecture has a high status. In the Tang Dynasty, the governors of many prefectures were all led by princes or hung in the air. Most of the prefectures were the top leaders of the prefectures, just like the Jincheng chief Lu Yu.

Yaozhou has a special status and has been appointed as a governor. Gu Xin's status is slightly inferior, but he is also the second in command of Yaozhou. Peng Qi is just a landlord and gentry. Although he is famous, he has no official position. The status of the two cannot be determined by reason.

Peng Qi couldn't afford Gu Xin's gift.

There was a hint of teasing in Peng Qi's eyes, but he said with a shock on his face: "Gu Changshi has been slashed with evil spirits."

Gu Xin was responsible for the people's livelihood in Yaozhou, and his food was controlled by him. The poisonous policy of destroying land and killing people in Tubo was too cruel. Many people in the state rely on the court to provide relief. Now that the court's food and grass are destroyed, the surrounding prefectures have not prepared much food for a while. New support needs to be transported from Guanzhong, and it is difficult to save nearby fires from far away.

Nowadays, most people in the city are filled with porridge, and they can barely make a living. If they continue like this, they will have no more porridge to drink, and the difficulties of the people are at their peak.

Gu Xin looked at the people and felt really unbearable. He decided to promote the policy of returning food, gathering the whole city of grain, and evenly dividing the people of the prefecture to overcome such difficulties together.

The implementation of this policy must first be supported by local gentry. For the sake of the people of Yaozhou, Gu Xin put down his identity as the chief of the prefecture and visited the gentry in Yaozhou one by one.

Gu Xin was like this for the people, which moved some gentry with conscience and revealed that Peng Qi had food at his home.

Gu Xin was also very depressed when he bowed to the gentry, but for the sake of the people in the prefecture, he endured all his grievances.

Gu Xin said: "I heard that there was surplus grain in Peng Dong's family, and the provincial government wanted to collect it from the owner at a price higher than double the market." It is a crime to sell food at a high price, but the provincial government levies it at a high price, which is within the etiquette.

Peng Qi's face changed and he said, "Who did you hear from Gu Changshi? Now the prefecture is in trouble. As a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, we should work together to overcome the difficulties in this crisis. If there was food in our mansion and had already opened the warehouse to help the people, why should Gu Changshi beg like this!"

Gu Xin looked a little embarrassed and said angrily: "Would the Peng Dong family want to support the food?" A sharp look flashed in his eyes. Yiran decided that if Peng Qi refused again and again, even if he accompanied his official position, he would still face Peng Qi head-on.

Unexpectedly, Peng Qi responded very readily and said, "In the face of difficulties in the family and the country, Qi should support what the chief minister wants. All the food in the palace is dispatched by Gu Changshi."

Peng Qi's "reasonableness" made Gu Xin feel ominous.

Under Peng Qi's leadership, Gu Xin came to Peng Qi's grain warehouse. Looking at the almost empty grain warehouse, he felt powerless in his heart.

After seeing off Gu Xin, Peng Qi sneered a sarcastic sneer on his face: By giving gifts, he could sell a stone of rice for more than twenty times, twice as much as he could beat the beggar!

At the same time, Pei Min also walked into Yaozhou.

However, Pei Min is not Pei Min himself at this moment, but a rough-looking man from the north. He is in his thirties, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a wide nose, and a square face. Compared to Junmai, who was originally looking, although he is not interested in being handsome, he is also a heroic hero.

When Pei's mother told her that Jiao Chen was good at disguise, Pei Min thought of this. His identity was special and there were many things that he could not handle in person. He needed one or several identities to facilitate his actions. With Jiao Chen, let alone one, even twenty or fifty, it would not be a problem.

With his position in the court, it is not too easy to forge an identity and get a resume.

A person with official certification can be created anytime and anywhere to facilitate his actions.

His name is Qiao Feng, who is Qiao Feng in the Tianlong Bazi. He is one of his favorite novel characters. Even his appearance is disguised by Jiao Chen based on his appearance. It’s a pity that he doesn’t know how to subdue the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon, otherwise he will be Qiao Feng No. 2.

With a true life, Pei Min, who was named Qiao Feng, walked into the depressed Yaozhou City.

He came here in disguise, so that before taking over, he could learn about the situation here as an ordinary person. Fortunately, when he succeeded, he would prescribe the right medicine.

Yaozhou City was originally Zhongzhou. With the convenience of the Jiuqu land in Hexi, it has a wealth of animal husbandry and is also one of the few horse-raising lands in the Tang Dynasty. However, because Jiuqu land in Hexi fell into the hands of Tubo, Yaozhou no longer had the advantage and was attacked by Tubo, and gradually became Xiazhou. In recent years, nine attacks have been attacked by Tubo, and the city has become even more depressed. If the government had not been detained by the government and prohibited the people and gentry from moving, the situation would be even more serious.

Pei Min could not have imagined that the situation in Yaozhou was so serious that he felt a little heavy. With his strategic vision, he had already seen the strategic significance of Yaozhou to Tubo. Even if Yaozhou was a useless place for the Tang Dynasty, it could not be taken away by Tubo.

Thinking in his heart, Pei Min planned to go to the tavern in the city to take a look and listen to the sound of the peddlers and pawns.

Looking at the wine sign that I saw from a distance, when I came nearby, I saw the door of the pub was locked and the door was messy. It can be seen that the pub had not opened for a long time.

Pei Min caught a passerby and said, "Brother, why is the gate of this tavern locked? Are there any taverns in the city?"

Passers-by caught a bit of food and looked at Pei Min and said, "This hero is from another place. Yaozhou has no food to eat. Where can there be surplus grain to make wine? All the taverns in the city closed a year ago."

Pei Min then realized that the situation in Yaozhou was more serious than he had imagined, and asked: "Is there a grain store in the city? I want to buy some rice and grain to go on the road..."

A passerby said, "You go to the Long Family Rice Store on the corner of the street to see. It is the largest rice store in our Yaozhou. If there is no surplus grain in the Long Family Rice Store, Yaozhou will be finished."

Passers-by's faces were filled with concerns about the unknown.

Pei Min said: "Brother, don't worry, the Tang Dynasty is here, and Yaozhou cannot be finished."

Under the instructions of passers-by, Pei Min walked towards the Long Family Rice Shop.

Before he could enter the store, he heard the shop owner say, "Gu Changshi, you are too polite. In business, my boss has already said that business cannot be done in a loss or against his conscience. There is not much surplus in the store, as long as the chief pays the highest price estimated by the court. But... even if the shop takes out all the inventory of rice and grain, it can only last for one or two days, and there is still another way to do it."

Gu Xin said with a slight smile: "If you can hold on for one day, it will be one day. Please tell your boss, hoping that he can buy food as soon as possible, and whatever he says, he must support the support of the court."

The store owner smiled bitterly and said, "The boss has not been doing this these days. It is just that the nearby grain store in Zhoufu was maliciously cleaned. He was so tired that he bought this little grain."

"Can you know who it is?" Gu Xin's tone was a little angry.
