Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

"There is no reward because of me." The prince said, "Except for you and your uncle, everyone knows that Meng Changqing is mine. If my father gives Meng Changqing a reward, it will be my honor.

It was precisely because my father refused to give me this honor that I was not rewarded with Evergreen.

Mother and concubine are not worried about my situation, but think that Meng Changqing is useless, it is really..."

The prince took a deep breath.

After Meng Changqing left, there was no one with advice around him. He was not used to it, but the third prince was chasing after him again. The prince now felt it was hard to breathe.

The Xiao family that they relied on behind them was also caught by the courtiers several times because the current head of the family was not smart enough.

He wants to suppress it, but the Xiao family has successive generations of high-ranking officials and the forces in the court are intertwined. At present, he does not have enough ability.

"Okay." Xiao Guifei comforted: "If you tell your uncle to ignore him from now on, he is just a Meng Changqing. Now he is just a small county magistrate in the border area. He will probably not be able to return to the capital, and neither will your uncle." Target him again.”

The prince calmed down, sat down and took a sip of tea, and then said in a cold voice: "If it is as expected by the mother and concubine, and Meng Changqing cannot return to the capital, I am afraid that there will be no hope for me to succeed to the throne."

"What you said..." Xiao Guifei raised her eyes and looked at him, her eyes full of inquiry, "How can Meng Changqing be so important to you? Can it even affect your position as prince? You rely on the Xiao family, so you are the prince. , what does it have to do with Meng Changqing?"

"Didn't the mother and concubine realize that the reason why the father cultivated the third brother in this way was because the Xiao family was too powerful?" The prince said calmly: "Meng Changqing is the only remaining heir of General Meng. His accompanying reading in the East Palace is an honor given by the father. , is also the father's statement to the officials.

But you kill as many people as you want. This action shows too little regard for the father. How can the father tolerate the Xiao family in the long run? "

Concubine Xiao lowered her eyes and said, "So, the Xiao family still wants to help Meng Changqing return to Beijing?"

The prince shook his head, "I also ask my concubine and the Xiao family not to interfere with Meng Changqing's affairs. He should have his own way. If he can't come back, he lacks the ability, so he should stay in Liangzhou."

By the end of April, Meng Changqing's Yamen was completed.

After settling the wages with Lao Baitou, he asked Bafang to go to Yangmen County to pay for the bricks and tiles.

Unexpectedly, the Yangmen County government officials returned half of the money. "Our adults told the brick-burner that since we are doing work for the government, we only need to collect the capital, and he also wanted to spend more of it." The money will be refunded to you.”

Meng Changqing looked at the money bag in the yamen servant's hand and didn't let anyone take it for a while.

She knew in her heart that a lot of bricks were used to build this yamen. The little money she gave was almost the cost, and there was no way to refund it.

"Master Mao has a good intention." Meng Changqing said, "I just want to trouble you to go out again and give the money to the brick maker for me, just say that I rewarded him."

The more than 3000 acres of land in Meng Changqing County are almost finished, and the cattle she requested from Liangzhou Tongpan have not yet arrived.

The people worked hard in the fields, getting up early and going to bed late just to avoid delaying spring planting.

If you want to have a good harvest in autumn, you must take advantage of this time to plant the seeds.

Seeing the people lose weight in a short period of time, Meng Changqing thought that she had to get a cow no matter what, but a calf was not enough. She could not only open more than 3000 acres of land in the county.

"Young Master!" Lai Cai came running from the direction of the Yamen, "Li Captou from Liangzhou Prefecture drove three cows over."

"Three heads?"
