Mom takes her baby to travel through ancient times? Farming and business are both important

Although what is said at the dinner table cannot be taken completely seriously, there is some truth to the saying that people speak the truth when they are drunk.

Bai Zhizhi urged the yamen runners to drink again, and then pretended to ask about other things casually.

"I heard there are several officials in the county government. They must be very powerful, right?"

The yamen runners didn't hear anything wrong in her words. They just thought she was genuinely curious and burst into laughter.

Bai Zhizhi knew that Yang Tianyong was the leader of their group, so she asked her two brothers to take care of the other yamen runners, and she became friends with Yang Tianyong.

After two more bowls of wine, Yang Tianyong took off his coat and ate some snacks while snorting, "The officials in the county government office are nothing serious. There are only two people who can really have a say nowadays."

Bai Zhizhi became interested when she heard it, and guided Yang Tianyong to talk about some other things.

Yang Tianyong did not disappoint him. Perhaps he really was drunk and didn't know what he was saying, or perhaps he had long harbored resentment towards the people in the county government and now expressed it under the influence of alcohol.

Anyway, no matter what, Bai Zhizhi heard a lot of useful information.

From Yang Tianyong's words, she learned that there were actually only two people in charge of the county government office. One was the county magistrate, and the other was the county lieutenant who had a relationship with Mr. Wang.

The county lieutenant is a local nobleman and can be regarded as a local tyrant in the county. His words are very influential and he is one of those people with some power.

However, the county magistrate in their county is an outsider who took office only five or six years ago.

Their county town was relatively small and they had no achievements to speak of, so the county magistrate did not get any chances for promotion or transfer.

These two people behaved very well in the county government office, but no one knows about it in private.

In Yang Tianyong's words, they are all thousand-year-old foxes, and no one knows how many tricks they have played behind the scenes, but in the end, only they are the ones who suffer.

In her previous life, Bai Zhizhi worked a lot to make a living, and she had been in many workplaces and met all kinds of people.

As soon as he heard Yang Tianyong's description of the two people, he immediately guessed that it was unlikely that the two people were of the same mind.

Although the county magistrate has the title of county magistrate and there is nothing wrong with it, he is an outsider after all and has no foundation. If he really wants to do something, his words will definitely not be effective.

It just so happened that there was a person in the county government who had a lot of say in the local area. Any county magistrate with a brain would have thought more about it.

Besides, although the county lieutenant has no official title, he is very influential in the local area and may even be able to influence public opinion.

If such a person were to say that he has no ambition and does not want to be promoted or make progress, who would believe it?

Especially since there is some unclear relationship between this person and Mr. Wang.

It is absolutely impossible to say that the county lieutenant was completely unaware of what Mr. Wang had done.

But even knowing this, he still allowed Wang Yuanwai to act in this way, which is enough to show that this county lieutenant is ambitious.

If you have ambition, you certainly won't want to be inferior to others.

And their county magistrate, who had no foundation, was blocking his way.

After figuring this out, Bai Zhizhi curled up her lips into a slight smile. She didn't expect that this meal would bring her such great benefits.

The few of them ate and drank in the restaurant for a long time. Only when all the yamen runners were satisfied did Bai Zhizhi and her two brothers send them out.

Although the two Zhou brothers didn't know why their third brother's wife did this, they knew better than to ask.

I just did what my third brother's wife asked me to do honestly, and just didn't want to cause any trouble for her.

In fact, even if they asked Bai Zhizhi, she would not tell them. It is better to have less trouble than more. It is better to know the important things in your heart. It would be bad to involve too many people.

Only when they could no longer see the backs of the yamen runners did the Zhou brothers finally breathe a sigh of relief and quickly go back to pack their things.

Bai Zhizhi went to pay the bill and looked at the money she spent without blinking an eye.

Anyway, I will definitely make more money in the future, so this little bit is not a big deal.
