Zhao Hanzhang pulled Magistrate Chai aside and sighed: "County Lord, I asked them when they came to apply for the army. There is no food at home. You can't hand over food even if you take them back. Since I have registered here,
Make a record, why not just leave it to me to take away."
Magistrate Chai looked at her in shock, wondering where she had the shamelessness to say such a thing.
"Don't worry, those who have already registered will not be counted. If anyone from Shangcai County comes later, I will definitely not accept them."
Magistrate Chai's words were stuck in his throat, and it took him a while to find the words to ask, "How can Sanniang tell whether they are from Shangcai County? What if they also say they are from Yingchuan and Aoyang?"
"Look at the accent. As long as it has a Shangcai accent, I won't accept it. How about that?"
Magistrate Chai became excited and pointed at those people, "Then they..."
"Oh, I'm not good at going to Cai Yin, and Mr. Ji doesn't understand either. I'll find some of the stewards from Shang Cai to wait for me. I won't let anyone in again."
Magistrate Chai pondered for a moment and said, "You can't place your stage here anymore. It's too close to the city gate. Everyone in the county's villages and towns who receive the news will come here."
"Then where do you want to put it?"
Magistrate Chai County gritted his teeth and said: "Exit sixty miles and stay far away."
It's too far. It would take half a day to get back to the manor. It's so inconvenient.
Zhao Hanzhang thought for a while and then said: "How about twenty miles? County Lord, after I take in the people, I have to bring them back to the manor to settle down temporarily. We can't let them sleep in the wild, right? How can they be willing to do anything for me when they see how weak I am?
Effectiveness?"
She said: "The governor is still waiting for me to lead the troops to rescue him. Who will be responsible for the delay in recruiting troops?"
Magistrate Chai pursed his lips and could only take a step back, "Okay, just retreat twenty miles."
Zhao Hanzhang was satisfied, and then he asked Magistrate Chai to talk about county affairs, "Mr. County Lord, didn't the envoy ask you to send troops?"
Magistrate Chai said helplessly: "I don't have any troops, how can I send them?"
"I don't have any soldiers, so I can recruit them now."
County Magistrate Chai shook his head, glanced at Zhao Hanzhang and said quietly: "If it weren't for the Zhao family in Xiping, the envoy would not have given military orders. Sanniang, the envoy asked you to lead the troops to rescue, but you did not lead this temporary recruitment.
Three thousand people are going to save him."
This was to ask the Zhao family to send troops to rescue. The recruitment order of three thousand troops was plainly a compensation for the Zhao family.
Zhao Hanzhang raised his eyebrows and gave Magistrate Chai a thumbs up, "The magistrate is so awesome, I didn't even expect this."
While praising Magistrate Chai, she looked past him and landed on Chang Ning.
Chang Ning had been standing quietly. When he saw her looking over, he nodded slightly at her.
Zhao Hanzhang didn't think about this aspect at all when he received the recruitment order. He went back to Shangcai to meet Ji Yuan, and Ji Yuan analyzed it for her.
However, this was the governor's plan, and they did not have to obey him. In Ji Yuan's words, "It is not easy for you and the Zhao family to cultivate tribes, and they have all gone through wars. They are very good fighting forces, and the loss to Gaoyang is not worth it."
.”
He also said: "Young girls can't think of this. Zhao Ming must have thought of it, but he didn't say anything. Obviously he didn't want to use his family's troops to rescue Aoyang. It would be best to recruit troops and go to Aoyang with new soldiers."
.”
"However, you don't have to work too hard even if you go to Aoyang. This time, the governor must not only call Xiping County, but other counties as well. Compared with other counties, Xiping County is special because of the Zhao family.
"
Ji Yuan said: "There are iron mines in Gaoyang, let them take the lead."
Although Zhao Hanzhang was also greedy for iron ore, he also knew that this thing would not fall into her hands in a short time, so he agreed.
So she, Zhao Bing, took her time and did not seem to have received an urgent military order at all.
She spent three days recruiting troops in Shangcai County. No one knew how many people she recruited except themselves. Anyway, in the end she brought 2,000 people back to Xiping and left the rest in the manor for Ji Yuan to arrange.
Even Magistrate Chai couldn't help but feel sad, "Chang Ning, do you think the Zhao family really won't rebel?"
Chang Ning didn't answer him this time.
Magistrate Chai became even more worried.
Zhao Hanzhang returned to Xiping, and Zhao Ming also returned from Pingyu. He also brought back more than 2,000 people. Zhao Ming may have guessed that they were not short of manpower, so he only reluctantly recruited 1,000 people.
Moreover, these thousand people are not from Xiping County, but from various villages and towns in Xiping County and those who fled from other places.
Now there were more people, so Zhao Hanzhang organized the more than 5,000 people and selected 3,000 suitable people to serve as soldiers. The rest were handed over to Fu Tinghan, who arranged for them to farm and build houses.
Anyway, there is quite a shortage of people in Xiping County now. The vacant wasteland can be reclaimed to grow winter wheat, and paper mills can also be built together.
The envoy whose freedom had been restricted finally saw Zhao Hanzhang again, and immediately rushed forward and asked, "Miss Zhao, when are we going to Aoyang? Aoyang has been trapped for a long time, and we are waiting for your rescue."
Zhao Hanzhang said: "I'll go tomorrow."
The envoy did not expect Zhao Hanzhang to be so cheerful. He breathed a sigh of relief and smiled on his face, "Then I will go with Sanniang tomorrow."
Zhao Hanzhang nodded perfunctorily, dealt with them and then turned around to see Fu Tinghan and Zhao Ming.
Zhao Ming stayed in the county government office for the past three days, making the county government office a little more lively than usual.
In Fu Tinghan's words, "Everyone is here to see if Uncle Ming can pull you down and successfully take control of Xiping County."
Zhao Hanzhang: "Then they came back disappointed?"
Fu Tinghan nodded, "It's quite disappointing. Uncle Ming told them directly that he was entrusted by you to take charge of the county affairs temporarily, so he persuaded Uncle Ming instead, thinking that he should be in charge of Xiping County. That would be justifiable."
.”
Fu Tinghan: "It seems that you are not very popular with the people."
Zhao Hanzhang said nonchalantly: "I'm quite sad. I'll talk to them when I come back from Aoyang."
Compared with these trivial matters, what she cares more about is, "I gave you the roster. Most of them are my slaves. Only a few are good ones. You arrange them.
Let them cultivate the official land and grow some winter wheat this year. Next year we will feed a lot of people."
"Why did you suddenly accept so many servants?" Fu Tinghan was puzzled, "Is it bad to have a good family background?"
Zhao Hanzhang sighed and said: "The taxes are getting heavier year by year, and there are natural and man-made disasters. It is difficult for them to survive even if they have land, so they no longer want to maintain their good status."
"Then if they cultivate government land, how will their taxes be calculated in the future?"
Zhao Hanzhang: "No need to calculate, it's all mine. If it's in a separate book, just treat it as a hidden household."
"...What about Guantian?"
Zhao Hanzhang said: "Prioritize the arrangements for the people in the county, and the rest will be my hermit house."
Fu Tinghan didn't quite understand, "You used to be more inclined to provide a safe environment and let them develop freely. Why do you want to create so many hidden households now? Are you planning to take all the resources into your own hands and then distribute them?"
Zhao Hanzhang nodded unequivocally. She did not expect Fu Tinghan to be so sensitive and noticed it immediately, "I ignored environmental factors. In the next many years, the north will not only be chaotic due to wars and other man-made disasters, but also natural disasters.
In troubled times, heavy codes are used. I want to master as many resources as possible in the early stage so that I can stabilize the situation later."
"But in this way, it is easy to cause a backlash. Once someone opposes you, it may cause a prairie fire."
Zhao Hanzhang: "So what I am talking about is making a private book, and counting these people as my hermits. They are both my hermits and my subordinates. As long as the armed force in my hands is large enough, no one can do anything to me."
?”
"Oh, let's not provoke such a big force as the Jin Dynasty. What I'm talking about is limited to Runan County." Therefore, you should be respectful to the court when you should be respectful. Zhao Hanzhang decided to be respectful when he went to Aoyang this time.
Ichiban.
? ? ? My stomach is not feeling well today, so I only have two updates. I will try to make up for it tomorrow.
