"The Pei family in Hedong has been prosperous for six dynasties since the Qin and Han Dynasties, and reached its peak in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. After the Five Dynasties, the fragrance still exists. In the past two thousand years, heroes and nobles, famous ministers and wise ministers have stood shoulder to shoulder, shining in history.

, lush as a forest, with great men and women shining through the annals of history.”

"From Pei Jun, the leader of Sanhe, who served in the five emperors of the Northern Wei Dynasty and was highly regarded by Emperor Taiwu Tuoba Tao; to Pei Guo, the young man of Huang Cong, who was Yu Wentai's confidant and favorite general; to Pei Kuan, who was praised by Yu Wentai as the strong wind and strong grass.

The Sui and Tang Dynasties were the most prosperous period in the history of the development of the Pei family in Hedong. During this period, the talents of the Pei family ranged from politics to economics, from diplomacy to the expansion of territory, and there were countless people who prospered.

Pei Ju was a veteran of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Sui Dynasty and Tang Dynasty. He was praised by the late emperor as "the one who communicated with China and the West, and his achievements were better than those of Zhang Qian".

Pei Ji, who had great foresight, assisted Li Yuan in raising troops in Jinyang, and established the Tang Dynasty. And then to the current prime minister Pei Jun..."

"Brother, do you think the Chen family is so ruined? Do you think the Pei family is so high-profile? Many times, many families just keep a low profile and don't fight. Only by not fighting can they live long. But, look at the Pei family.

, they have been selfless and upright from beginning to end, and have almost offended all the wealthy families. Why? It’s because they want to isolate themselves, so that the court can rest assured, the emperor can rest assured, and they can go further."

"Go on, the more you offend all the wealthy families, the less you have anything to do with them. Even if His Majesty does wield a knife against the wealthy families in the future, it will not affect you. Now is the best time to get out.

Good time! I have already decided to go to Tsinghua Academy to teach, and I will no longer have to deal with family affairs. How far this family can go depends on you Yan Qinli and Yan Xiangshi."

"Brother, you..."

"I am many years older than you and Prime Minister, and I am tired. I might as well find a place close to mountains and rivers to spend the rest of my life. The documents for resignation have been handed in, and I am just waiting for the Ministry of Rites and Your Majesty.

Approved."

Having said this, Yan Shigu stood up and patted Yan Qinli on the shoulder, "Follow Chang Qing and work hard. Say hello to all the family members and ask them to be low-key in their conduct and work. Our Yan family is not short of fame and money.

There is no need to do things like bullying men and women, embezzling land, and being arrogant and domineering."

Qingzhou!

Belongs to Beihai County.

It has jurisdiction over fourteen counties including Yingling, Anqiu, Pingshou, Liuquan, Yixian, Shouguang, Pingwang, Raoguo, Duchang, Mixiang, Pingcheng, Zhenxian, Chunyu and Jiaoyang.

Under the governance of Gou Liguo, Shouguang became the richest county in the entire Qingzhou Prefecture. People who went to Shouguang County could get dividends every year. Therefore, the people who contributed most to disaster relief were the people of Shouguang. They basically organized themselves spontaneously, led by Li Yinhuan.

Allocate.

As soon as the twelfth lunar month entered, Li Yinhuan beheaded a group of people, causing all the Shandong gentry in Qingzhou Prefecture to panic.

Just when Li Yinhuan received Li Shimin's secret order and was about to take a heavy blow, the weather suddenly changed.

It didn't snow, but it rained.

The heavy rain caused the water levels of the rivers in the territory to rise instantly, and the newly closed dam gap was already at risk of bursting again.

Once the embankment breaks again, Qingzhou Prefecture may be turned into a wasteland. Li Yinhuan immediately led the soldiers to organize the people to strengthen the embankment.

Yingling County Government.

County magistrate Kong Liren was sitting in the back hall, looking sad.

It rained heavily outside and the water level rose sharply. He, the county magistrate, was to blame if the dike actually burst.

The imperial court also sent an urgent document of eight hundred miles, and three thousand soldiers of the Youwu Guard were on their way to Qingzhou via the highway.

When Lu Guogong suppressed bandits at sea, the Qingzhou Emergency Disaster Relief Command Yamen was appointed as the head of the Qingzhou Emergency Disaster Relief Command Yamen. The British Duke Li Ji was appointed as the leader, with Li Yinhuan assisting him. Cheng Yaojin returned to Qingzhou and took over immediately.

Kong Liren looked confused. Is the imperial court sick?

Li Yinhuan killed 30 or 40 people in Qingzhou, but she was not punished and was given so many rights? She is just a female prostitute. We, the men of the Shandong gentry, are not as good as a woman?

But none of this mattered in Kong Liren's eyes. What he feared most was the Emperor Sword in Li Yinhuan's hand. If Li Yinhuan was offended, Li Yinhuan would really dare to kill people as long as the charges were proven.

Two members of the Kong family were killed, which did not give the eldest son of the Kong family, Kong Yingda, and the Kong family's second Qin Changqing any face. Not to mention the fact that, theoretically, she was also a member of the Confucian family.

It rained heavily and there was water all over the road, but fortunately the Ministry of Water Resources built cement roads all over the country.

Duang!

The door was kicked open. Li Yinhuan, wearing a raincoat and covered in water and mud, appeared in the government office. Seeing Li Yinhuan, Kong Liren was so frightened that his whole body trembled.

"Master Kong, I am not holding you accountable now. I just want to ask you one question: How can we provide disaster relief if tens of thousands of civilians and soldiers who are doing disaster relief can't even have enough to eat?"

"General Li, the imperial court's money and supplies are on their way. Now the county is stretched too thin. It's not that the lower officials are inactive. It's really hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. I hope General Li will forgive me."

"Isn't there food in the official warehouse?" Li Yinhuan took off his raincoat and placed the Emperor's Sword on the table with a fierce look in his eyes.

To be fair, Li Yinhuan had only been here for a short time and didn't understand what was going on. Kong Liren refused to open the warehouse to release grain, and even contradicted Li Ji for this.

When there was a severe flood in the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin personally issued an order and added an article to the Code of the Tang Dynasty: when non-human resistance factors occur, such as floods and earthquakes, etc., the county magistrate can open official warehouses to release grain. The difference that occurs,

The court will make up for it later.

In fact, when this decree first came out, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty divided the official warehouses into imperial official warehouses, social warehouses and righteous warehouses.

But after Li Yinhuan provided disaster relief for days, he discovered that the rescuers did not have enough to eat.

"Now, I give you two choices. One is to open the warehouse to release grain so that the people and soldiers who are fighting for the disaster will be fed. The other is, I will kill you!" Li Yinhuan had a gloomy look on his face, "I don't care what method you use, I don't care about you.

Is there any food in the official warehouse now? I only want the people on the dike who risk their lives to strengthen the dike to be fed."

"General Li, I am lowering my rank..."

Kong Liren asked a question, but he looked at the Emperor Sword in front of Li Yinhuan and said, "General Li, don't worry, I will arrange the manpower right now so that everyone can have enough to eat!"

"Okay!" Li Yinhuan paused and raised his eyebrows, "When a natural disaster comes, the first thing to do is for the army, officials, and people to fight against the natural disaster wholeheartedly! As the county magistrate, why don't you go to the dam and take a look?"

"Xiaguan..." A large amount of cold sweat appeared on Kong Liren's forehead, "As a county magistrate, it is natural for a lower official to control the overall situation. Climbing the dike is naturally a matter for a lowly official..."

boom!

Li Yinhuan slammed the table, "You mean, this general and the nearly ten thousand civilians and soldiers are all lowly people?"

"I don't dare to lower my rank, I will lower my rank..."

"Someone is coming!"

Li Yinhuan shouted to the outside, "When faced with the disaster, Kong Liren, the magistrate of Yingling County, did not go to the front line in person and did not provide logistical support. He only hid in the county government office in pursuit of pleasure, leaving nearly 10,000 disaster relief people without food or clothing.
