I have to say that raising children has different feelings for different people.

In the eyes of many adults, children between the ages of 1 and 3 are the cutest, but by the age of seven or eight, they are naughty children and are most capable of doing bad things.

In fact, Fang Xiaoyue clearly remembers the bad things she did when she was a child, such as secretly fishing out the goldfish raised by the director of the orphanage and feeding them to the little black cat.

As for the two brothers Li Chi and Zhang, Zhang Xingxing is okay, a cute little sister, and obedient, which is quite good.

But Zhang Longyue couldn't do it.

This guy would act like a arrogant prince whenever he had nothing to do. Sometimes he even liked to discuss the Four Books and Five Classics with Li Chizhang. His stinking look made people want to slap him just looking at him.

Of course, the two brothers Li Chi and Zhang would not do anything to Zhang Longyue just because they didn't like him very much.

Time passes quickly in the Taoist temple.

It didn't take long for a large number of refugees to arrive.

After these refugees arrived near Sanhuangguan, they relied on the mountains and dug cellars on the mountains as their residences.

The autumn harvest has just passed and the temperature is dropping rapidly.

As the saying goes, one autumn rain and another cold.

In the blink of an eye, a week later, Fang Xiaoyue walked out of the wing wearing a thin Taoist robe and could feel the slightest bit of chill.

Of course, he is not afraid of the cold, but the same cannot be said for the refugees.

All of them had nothing to eat, their bodies had no heat, and they shivered in the cellar.

Ever since, the porridge shed at Sanhuangguan was opened again.

After the refugees heard the news, they braved the cold wind and came to Sanhuang Temple to receive porridge.

I have to say that Fang Xiaoyue still has a conscience.

He arranged for Huang Muyun to take charge of this matter, with Li Chizhang and four other children assisting him, and he also assigned more than 20 strong men in yellow robes to help.

The only requirement is that the porridge cannot be poured over with chopsticks.

Therefore, although the porridge shed only delivers porridge twice a day, it also ensures that the refugees who are digging cellars in the mountains and forests will not starve to death in this increasingly cold weather.

Half a year later, Peng Guoxin's Luo army completely drove Zuo Wang's army out of Liujiang Province. At the same time, he took advantage of the opportunity to take charge of the military and political power of a province and arranged all his closest men to serve as officials in various places. In addition, he also stationed in various places. Luo Jun and Peng Guoxin can be said to have the entire Liujiang Province in their hands.

From this moment on, Peng Guoxin had his own foundation.

Although Peng Guoxin was from Luo Province before, Luo Province was not his territory. He had no power to collect taxes, let alone recruit men. He could only rely on money to recruit troops.

But relying on money alone to recruit troops is too slow.

Now that we have our own territory, whether it is collecting taxes or recruiting troops, it is completely different from before.

Well, in order to appease and consolidate the hearts of the gentry everywhere, Peng Guoxin even accepted many officials originally appointed by King Zuo.

Magistrate Cui, Inspector Lin, etc. also jumped from King Zuo's command to Peng Guoxin's ship.

Therefore, for the people of Donglin County, except for the sudden increase in the tax burden, nothing else has changed much. Even the officials in the county are basically the same as before.

The county magistrate is still the magistrate Lin, the chief bookkeeper is still the chief bookkeeper Zhang, and the county lieutenant is still the county lieutenant Chen. Only Zhou Xingjian, who is in charge of the local soldiers, becomes Peng Xingjian.

Well, this Inspector Peng is a distant relative of Peng Guoxin, the kind who came out of the fifth server.

This is not surprising. As Peng Guoxin's status and power continue to rise, the people from his hometown who come to seek refuge with him are not only the relatives of his family, but also the side branches that branched off two or three hundred years ago. Come.

But Peng Guoxin especially believed in the bloodline theory. He believed that no matter how good the relationship was, none of the friends were as reliable as relatives because everyone had the same bloodline.

And as he was promoted to the governor of Liujiang Province, added the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and became a bachelor of Yongning Palace, the number of confidants at hand was completely insufficient.

His brothers, nephews, nephews, and even cousins' nephews, etc., were all arranged in the Luo army, and each had control of troops.

This is his confidence in controlling Luo Jun and must not be tampered with.

The entire Liujiang Province has a total of 167 counties, 31 prefectures, and seven roads.

Just to place one confidant in each county would require 167 confidants, plus thirty-one prefectures, seven provinces, and even some institutions under the Governor's Mansion.

Peng Guoxin needed to send at least 250 confidants to barely take full control of Liujiang Province.

Even if the Peng family brought out all the young men, there would not be that many people. Moreover, as mentioned before, most of the Peng family and relatives were stationed in the army and were in charge of the army and could not be tampered with.

Therefore, these distant relatives who came to take advantage of him were used by Peng Guoxin.

Take Inspector Peng as an example. When he first found Peng Guoxin, he originally planned to ask for a dozen or so taels of silver to go home and repair the dilapidated old house so that he could find a wife in the future.

But what he never expected was that Peng Guoxin would recognize his relative, whom he could hardly beat with eight poles, and give him an official position!

Donglin County Zhengjiupin inspection!

This is because I used to be so frightened that I would tremble all over when I saw a headhunter, right?

Now he is actually sitting in a serious official position!

This made Inspector Peng feel like smoke was coming out of his old grave.

Of course, Peng Guoxin definitely did not lose money.

Anyway, he wouldn't let this official position rest in his hands.

The problem is that as long as Inspector Peng takes office, in the eyes of others, he is Peng Guoxin's man, and he has to be loyal to Peng Guoxin.

Therefore, even if Inspector Peng does not do his job well and does not know how to be an official at all, the officials in Donglin County can only support him.

No one wants to offend this confidant of Peng Guoxin who has just arrived!

However, Inspector Peng is not willing to be a clay Buddha, waiting to be paid to enjoy it.

He felt that he had been favored by Peng Guoxin, so he should serve as a good official and show his face to Peng Guoxin.

So he didn't know where he found out that Zhang Xuanmi, the left king of the Kingdom of God on earth, and his son and daughter were hiding in a Taoist temple outside the city, and he immediately became excited.

It should be said that Donglin County was very stable during this period. There were no thieves or bandits, which made Inspector Peng feel that his skills were useless.

Now after hearing the news, he immediately ordered half of the people in the inspection department, about fifty people in total. He rode a mule and horse with his men, and went straight to the Three Emperors Temple.

No way, it's not that he doesn't want to ride a high horse.

It's a pity that there are no horse farms in Donglin County, and Zuo Wang once raided some privately bred horses, and then Peng Guoxin took advantage of them again.

As a result, there will be no real horses in Donglin County at all.

If Peng had not been on patrol, he would not have even had this mule.
