Zhao Hanzhang was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly: "That's not true."
Chang Ning's eager heart cooled down, and she said coldly: "Sanniang, please come back, we are not suitable."
"Sir, how do you know it's not suitable if you haven't tried it?"
Chang Ning looked at her quietly.
Zhao Hanzhang laughed and said, "Mr. Ji also admires me very much. Knowing that I am interested in him, he specially asked someone to deliver a letter to me."
Chang Ning sneered, he didn't believe the treacherous villain who was sowing discord.
Seeing this, Zhao Hanzhang picked up his wine glass and sighed: "Sir, are you resenting Mr. Ji's previous act of getting close to Magistrate Chai? But at that time, Mr. Ji and Mr. Ji were their own masters. Although they offended Mr., it was for Hanzhang's sake.
So after all, this is Hanzhang's fault, Hanzhang punished himself with a drink, sir, please forgive me."
After finishing the drink, she poured herself another glass and said: "Magistrate Chai is an honest and honest man, but Mr. Chai is a talented person and flexible in dealing with things. I am afraid that he will not be able to understand what Mr. Chai is thinking and stay under Magistrate Chai any longer."
, I’m too aggrieved sir.”
Zhao Hanzhang solemnly said: "Although Hanzhang is not talented, he is lucky enough to listen to his grandfather's teachings and has some knowledge. When they first met, Hanzhang was impressed by his talent. However, he was loyal to Magistrate Chai. Hanzhang didn't
Dare to speak."
Chang Ning's face softened slightly, but he remained expressionless, "Do you dare now?"
Zhao Hanzhang sighed and said, "Magistrate Chai is too honest and honest."
What is the difference between this and simply saying that Magistrate Chai is too stupid?
Chang Ning tried his best to hold back, but his face still looked weird for a moment. He recalled Zhao Changyu's words when he advised Emperor Wu to depose the prince, saying that the prince had "an ancient style".
Zhao Hanzhang's "honest and honest" sentence today is similar to the "honest and honest style".
Both ancestors and grandsons have the same tradition of respectability and respectability.
Zhao Hanzhang continued: "I heard yesterday that Mr. Chai County Magistrate suggested that Magistrate Chai County take advantage of the autumn harvest to purchase grain in order to stabilize prices when food prices rise next year. However, Magistrate Chai County thought it was against moral laws, so he did not agree?"
Chang Ning lowered his eyes, and his heart that had been tightly closed relaxed a little. This was one of the reasons why he quietly came to see Zhao Hanzhang.
Yesterday he talked a lot, and Magistrate Chai had already agreed, but halfway out the door, he regretted it again. He was probably afraid that things would not look good, which would not only damage his prestige as magistrate, but also his reputation.
There were many obstacles, so I turned around midway.
Chang Ning was disappointed at that time, and after thinking for a whole night, he decided to resign as a staff member and go back to his hometown. This morning he received a letter from Zhao Hanzhang. He didn't know why, so he muddle-headedly avoided anyone and came here.
Chang Ning smiled bitterly when he was clicked. Maybe he still had some expectations and unwillingness in his heart.
He was from a commoner family, and it was hard for him to get the opportunity to study and become literate. He wandered around for many years before joining the family of Magistrate Chai County. This time he returned to his hometown, and his future might be cut off, and he would have to work in the fields all his life.
Not to mention ambition, I'm afraid even food and clothing will be a problem, but... I feel really depressed if I continue to stay in Shangcai.
The staff and the lord are like lovers, they should trust each other and be close, but after Ji Yuan got involved, Magistrate Chai became more and more dissatisfied with him. In the past, Magistrate Chai always listened to his suggestions, but now
, of his ten ideas, Magistrate Chai could question nine.
If he leaves now, he can still have some friendship with Magistrate Chai, but if he stays, they will probably become "enemies", and it will be a question of whether he can keep him alive.
After all, Chang Ning had followed Magistrate Chai for many years and did not want to get into trouble with him to this extent.
He looked up at Zhao Hanzhang, confused.
Zhao Hanzhang immediately said: "Sir, if you are willing to come to Hanzhang, I will come to see Magistrate Chai."
Chang Ning lowered his eyes and asked: "The girl already has Ji Yuan by her side. With Ji Yuan's talent, why does the girl need to be here?"
However, Zhao Hanzhang heard his wavering and immediately said: "My talent is different from that of Mr. Ji. Mr. Ji stayed with my grandfather and learned how to be a counselor, while I have followed the magistrate of Chai County for many years and made a lot of difference in people's livelihood and economy."
I am knowledgeable, and although I don’t have much contact with my husband, Hanzhang is very heartbroken after just a few meetings.”
Having said this, Zhao Hanzhang thought that they were just getting started. Having taken in so many refugees, what they needed most was people who could revitalize people's livelihood and the economy.
Zhao Hanzhang made an instant decision in his heart and looked at him with gleaming eyes, "Sir, are you willing to come to Hanzhang to help?"
Chang Ning lowered his eyes and thought, then said after a while: "I have to think about it again."
Zhao Hanzhang invited him to drink and said, "Then Hanzhang is waiting for the good news from sir."
Chang Ning was under great pressure at the moment.
He drank a glass of wine and got up to leave.
When Zhao Hanzhang returned to the other courtyard, Ji Yuan was already waiting in the study and immediately asked: "How?"
Zhao Hanzhang said: "He hasn't agreed yet, but his attitude has softened."
Ji Yuan thought deeply: "Although Chang Ning is fierce to outsiders, he is a little soft-hearted towards the inside. Although Magistrate Chai is stupid, he is pretty good to him, and he is kind to him. He has seen that the girl will definitely fall in love with Cai."
He can also guess that the girl wants to use him to get married to Cai, so he is afraid that he does not want to be at odds with Magistrate Chai."
Zhao Hanzhang muttered: "I didn't say that I wanted to be at odds with Magistrate Chai. Let's seek common ground first. If we are really on different paths, it won't be too late to separate."
Ji Yuan glanced at her and said: "Girl, you are just the magistrate of Xiping County now. Magistrate Chai, unless you are above him, he will not listen to you."
And Zhao Hanzhang has a large amount of property in Shangcai, so the two of them are bound to have conflicts, and it is basically impossible not to become enemies by then.
Chang Ning had foreseen this a long time ago, so he always treated Zhao Hanzhang without hypocrisy from the position of Chai County Magistrate.
Now that Zhao Hanzhang is poaching Chang Ning, Chang Ning must consider that in the future, he will need to replace Zhao Hanzhang against Magistrate Chai County.
Chang Ning may have some concerns as the former master has become his opposite.
Ji Yuan touched his beard, pondered for a while and then suddenly smiled.
Zhao Hanzhang looked at Ji Yuan with an incomprehensible expression.
When Ji Yuan faced the ignorant Zhao Hanzhang, he couldn't help laughing loudly, "I am restricted. There is a better way. My lady, please give him the position of chief registrar of Xiping County."
Zhao Hanzhang looked at Ji Yuan in surprise, "What about sir?"
Ji Yuan waved his hand nonchalantly and said: "What Yuan wants is not that the girl should be a bookkeeper. I will stay in Shangcai and seize Shangcai for the girl."
Chang Ning would care about Magistrate Chai and show mercy to him, but Ji Yuan would not.
Zhao Hanzhang looked at him in surprise, thought for a moment and then nodded: "It's good, Shangcai is closer to Aoyang, and it is the largest county in Runan County. There are more merchants, merchants and scholars here than elsewhere, and the information is better. Mr.
Hanzhang feels more at ease now that he is in charge."
Ji Yuan was very satisfied. He knew that the girl could not be satisfied with Xiping and Shangcai County. Look, before she could get Shangcai County, she was already eyeing Aoyang.
If you go to Xiping, you will only be stuck with Xiping County affairs. It is better to stay in Shangcai and keep an eye on the overall situation for her.
Ji Yuan stood up and urged her, "Girl, please go to the county seat again and let Chang Ning see your sincerity and try to capture him today."
When Zhao Hanzhang heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "I'll go right away."
When Ji Yuan saw her leaving as soon as she said so, he couldn't help but feel jealous and became sour. He said quietly: "It seems that the girl really likes Chang Ning. She can't wait to do it."
