Zhao Qingyun not only wiped out the bandits, but also confiscated a large amount of gold, silver and other valuables.
He took out a small portion of the spoils and distributed them to the troops who came to "help".
Zhao Qingyun couldn't be more clear-headed. No matter whether it was the Huo family or the Pei family, they were all his in-laws.
But, human feelings are human feelings, and interests are interests.
You can't pretend to be ignorant just because you are a relative.
Most of the remaining spoils were confiscated by Zhao Qingyun.
"Haha! Ziqian is so polite!"
The bearded general sent by the Huo family smiled, revealing his mouthful of white teeth.
He divided the spoils, and then heard Zhao Qingyun register most of the spoils and put them into the official treasury, and he couldn't help laughing.
A palm as big as a palm leaf fan patted Zhao Qingyun's shoulders several times, "As expected of the son-in-law of our Huo family, you are always quick and efficient in doing things."
Follow the rules but don't be rigid.
If you don't covet money and keep your original heart, you will be able to be a good official for a long time.
"By the way, I'll be transferred to Qingzhou Zhechongfu in a few days. If you have any problems in the future, you can send someone to find me directly!"
The bearded man said meaningfully to Zhao Qingyun.
The grandson-in-law of the Huo family looks weak, but he is actually a tough guy.
As soon as he arrived, he dared to borrow troops to suppress bandits.
In the future, Zhao Qingyun might cause a lot of trouble in this county.
These local nobles and wealthy businessmen were initially fooled by Zhao Qingyun and did not react for a while, which allowed Zhao Qingyun to "succeed."
The destruction of Qingshan Village will make those people alert.
In the future, if Zhao Qingyun implements any more "reforms", he will probably be counterattacked by local forces.
If one is not careful, it is possible that "civil unrest" will be provoked and he will be killed by the rioters.
The county town belongs to Qingzhou, and the bearded man is about to become the General of the Central Army of Qingzhou Zhechoufu, which is also the commander of the local garrison.
With soldiers, he can help Zhao Qingyun.
There is no need to actually send troops. After he takes office, Zhao Qingyun can come to visit him in person, and those local tyrants will know what to do.
The bearded man "takes care" of Zhao Qingyun in this way not only for the sake of Princess Nanping, but also because Zhao Qingyun is capable.
The bearded man believed that as long as he helped the other party, the other party would definitely "reward" him.
"Thank you!"
Of course, Zhao Qingyun understood the implication of the bearded man's words. He was grateful in his heart and it showed on his face.
However, Zhao Qingyun didn't say much.
Interactions between people do not rely on words, but on tangible interests!
…
"Great! Great Zhao Qingyun! How dare you try this on us!"
"He actually wiped out Qingshan Village?"
"What is this? Repairing the plank road in the open but secretly attacking Chencang?"
"On the surface, he's in cahoots with the gang, but in reality, he has other plans! We've underestimated this county lord!"
When the news of the fall of Qingshan Village reached the county town, the people were overjoyed and told each other the news, but some people were so angry that they gathered together and cursed each other.
"Alright! Stop cursing! Let's think about what to do next."
"What else can we do? That Zhao guy obviously doesn't want to get involved with us."
"Don't want to go along with the bad guys? It's too late!"
"That's right, he himself is as clean as water, but he can't stand up to his greedy and wicked mother and wife!"
"That's right! Every penny we gave them was recorded. Do they really think our money was given away for free?"
"Not only that, my wife even asked Zhao Qingyun's mother to invest in the company and lend money at high interest rates together!"
As soon as the words "lending money at high interest" were uttered, everyone present showed a smug look.
This thing can't be touched lightly.
As long as someone dies, the new magistrate will be implicated even if he is a prince.
"I'll arrange it!"
"Alas, the people are pitiful. My mother is seriously ill, so I have no choice but to borrow money from the old lady of the county. But because the interest is too high, the interest is compounded, and I can't even pay the interest. I can only die!"
"That's right."
"There is also evidence of the Zhao family's daughter accepting bribes, which should be handed over to the capital—"
Not only did people die, but there was also huge corruption. Zhao Qingyun would be in trouble if he didn't die.
However, when a group of local tyrants were discussing how to "teach Zhao Qingyun a lesson", the servant who was responsible for keeping an eye on the county government office discovered:
"What? County officials parading through the streets carrying plaques reading 'Good Samaritans'?"
"Yes! They were beating drums and gongs as they walked, saying that it was thanks to the generous donations from the gentry of the county that the county government office and the official road were repaired."
After hearing the report from the servants, the faces of several wealthy families and businessmen turned very ugly.
Donate voluntarily?
Bullshit donation!
The money was used to corrupt Zhao Qingyun and to serve as a handle to plot against Zhao Qingyun in the future.
Unexpectedly, this man was so cruel that he sent them away with just a worthless plaque.
A family of good deeds!
Go and knock on your mother’s door of good deeds!
They are not newly rich, so they still need a good reputation.
Their family has been entrenched in the county town for decades, even hundreds of years, and has long passed the period when they needed to be "gilded".
But it doesn’t matter whether they need it or not. Zhao Qingyun gave them the plaque, turning the bribe into a voluntary donation, so the local tyrants could not complain.
As for usury, Zhao Qingyun is even more single.
He burned all the IOUs in front of the people in the county.
The money that has been lent out will not be recovered.
"Oh, my Lord!"
"The county magistrate is such a good official!"
"Love the people like your own children! Be honest and upright like water!"
