Chapter 148 The Prefect Goes to Pei Ji to Complain
Liangzhou is located in a tributary of the Yellow River. Although it was barren in later generations, the vegetation here was still very rich in the Tang Dynasty, so there was no shortage of wood for making house beams.

Secondly, there is no shortage of soil here, as long as straw is mixed in to make the adobe sticky, then the house can be built directly after digging the foundation.

Now all the people in Liangzhou no longer have the thought of rebellion, and even enjoy this kind of life very much, because these jobs are not as exhausting as Qin Shihuang's construction of the Great Wall.

After working for a long time, you will get used to it, and you will not feel tired, and you can still eat two meals a day, which was absolutely unimaginable before.

Bai Jingyi rode his horse around Liangzhou City every day, and the people no longer regarded him as a 16-year-old boy, but regarded him as the real commander of the Northern Liang Army!
Even those Beiliang soldiers really admired Bai Jingyi from the bottom of their hearts, from obeying the Beiliang military orders at the beginning, to obeying sincerely later!
Mozi was very excited and said to Bai Jingyi: "Sign up to Major General! After the improvement of the last general, it only needs to burn one house to warm several houses, so less dry firewood will be burned!"

When he heard this, Bai Jingyi was taken aback, then smiled lightly and said: "As expected of a skilled craftsman, he can make collective heating just after he got the kang manufacturing method! Not bad! Not bad!"

Hearing Bai Jingyi's praise, Mozi was very proud, and then he said slightly apologetically to Bai Jingyi, "I thought the major general would blame the general for cutting corners!"

"No! Now we must use the fastest method to build houses for these people, lest they freeze to death outside!" As he spoke, Bai Jingyi directly copied and pasted the city planning map he had conceived in his mind through the system In the minds of Mozi and those three thousand craftsmen.

Afterwards, Bai Jingyi said thoughtfully: "In the planning map, the places marked with red dots cannot be inhabited, and there are some specific areas that cannot be inhabited!"

"Based on my planning map, you can use your talents and minimize losses as much as possible!"

Mozi cupped his hands to Bai Jingyi and said, "The last general obeys orders!"

After taking the order, Mozi hurried back to his tent, drew a plan on the sheepskin with a brush, and at the same time called his most proud disciples to discuss how to plan.

Bai Jingyi looked at the back of Mozi leaving, and thought in his heart: "In my city planning map, the streets are wide enough for four carriages to drive side by side. Every street is the same length. It looks like It's just cut with a knife."

"Secondly, there are shops in the middle of each street, on the streets, and at the end of alleys. At that time, people can lead people to do business. In this way, after Liangzhou is built, the economy will surely prosper."

"And my goal is to let the barren and backward Liangzhou catch up with Chang'an City!"

Time flies, four days passed in a blink of an eye, Liangzhou City has begun to take shape, and the people are all happily doing their jobs.

Moreover, everyone's enthusiasm is very high, because Bai Jingyi has a special reward, those workers who work hard and work hard can get a bowl of meat to eat!
This is undoubtedly a reward that everyone envies. After all, in a normal life, even in the New Year, you may not be able to see a little bit of meat.
Moreover, after Bai Jingyi's killing and resolute deterrence, the crime rate in Liangzhou City was almost zero. First, no one dared to make trouble. governance!
Under such strict surveillance, there is no need for those government officials.

After a few days of trekking, the prefect in Liangzhou and the people from the county government have all arrived in Chang'an City.

Looking at the Chang'an City in front of them, these people almost burst into tears on the spot.

After being an official for more than ten years, he was kicked out with a knife involuntarily. This kind of grievance is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

After many investigations, the group finally arrived in the city of Chang'an, and after asking someone to spend a lot of money, they were received by the then prime minister Pei Ji.

If it wasn't for hearing that it was about Liangzhou, no matter how much gold these people spent, Pei Ji would not have seen them.

After seeing Pei Ji, Liangzhou prefect directly knelt down and kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty Zhang Shun sees the Prime Minister!"

Those county magistrates in the rear had no right to speak at all, they could only kneel behind Zhang Shun.

Pei Ji sat on the grand teacher's chair, took a sip of the boiled tea, then slowly put down the teacup, wiped the corners of his mouth, and then cleared his voice and said, "Give me a seat!"

Zhang Shun hurriedly said, "Thank you, Prime Minister!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Shun, the prefect of Liangzhou, raised his head, and then slowly sat on the chair with his body bowed, with a very awkward expression.

He wanted to see what the prime minister looked like, but he was afraid, so he quickly raised his eyes, then quickly lowered his head and cupped his hands and said, "Please also ask the prime minister to be the next official!"

While speaking, Zhang Shun was thinking in his heart: "Why is there a monk sitting beside the prime minister!? Since he can sit side by side with the prime minister, his status is extraordinary compared to him."

When the mind was active, the other county magistrates also noticed the monk next to Pei Ji, and they all guessed that the status of the monk must be exceptionally noble,
If the prime minister doesn't help them today, maybe he and others donate more incense money to the monk, and the monk can help himself and others to talk.

In such a short period of time, the prefect and these county magistrates have already figured out countermeasures.

Pei Ji asked indifferently: "If you are not an official in Liangzhou, if you leave your post without authorization, you will be convicted!?"

The prefect and the county magistrates hurriedly got down from their chairs, kowtowed to Pei Ji on the ground and said, "Your official is guilty! But it's not because you left your post without authorization!"

"It was the Beiliang army commander Bai Jingyi who sent soldiers to put Xiaguan and the others on their necks and drive them out! If they don't withdraw from Liangzhou City before dark, then Beiliang The commander-in-chief of the Liang army is going to send troops to kill me and the whole family!"

"Also ask the prime minister to make decisions for the officials and others!"

Hearing these words, Pei Ji immediately regained his spirits, his face remained calm, but he was thinking in his heart: "Now that Bai Jingyi has driven these officials out of Liangzhou by himself, this is already challenging the authority of the imperial court!"

"The killer I sent out must have arrived in Liangzhou soon, and if I kill those two princesses by then, the hatred between Bai Jingyi and the royal family will definitely increase!"

"At that time, the royal family and the Beiliang army will inevitably go to war. The Supreme Emperor will take this opportunity to raise his arms and he will surely be able to regroup and regain the throne directly!"

Immediately, Pei Ji said with a blank expression and pretending to be puzzled: "Oh!? Is there really such a thing!?"

The eunuch said impassionedly: "Your Majesty is willing to use Xiangshang's head as a guarantee! This matter is absolutely true! I hope the Prime Minister will find out clearly!"

Pei Ji said calmly: "If this matter is serious, do you dare to go to the court hall with me tomorrow and tell the matter to the Holy Majesty in person!?"
