Leaving these people in the grain depot to count the grain, Zhao Hanzhang took the people back to the county government office to count the casualties and appease the people.
Zhao Hanzhang ordered Li Zheng from each township to come to the county government office and asked them to appease the villagers and suspend collection of taxes this summer.
Yes, the collection of taxes has not stopped until now. A considerable number of villagers failed to pay taxes in full. Magistrate Sun arrested a group of people, but did not arrest the rest. Instead, he threatened them and asked them to find ways to collect enough food.
Tax.
Zhao Hanzhang did not deal with the county magistrate, even though he was not innocent, but took him with him and asked him to bring all the cases related to taxation in the past two months.
They released all the people who had been arrested for not paying enough taxes, and at the same time deducted the household registration and tax account books from the households, and began to count the accounts.
So Fu Tinghan occupied the household room.
Zhao Hanzhang asked Zhao Ju and Zhao Erlang to go to the countryside with soldiers and horses to ensure that the rebels who left the county would not cause chaos in the countryside.
Ji Yuan assisted Zhao Hanzhang in controlling Aoyang County. At the same time, Zhao Hui and others who often followed Zhao Kuan were also transferred from Shangcai County to Aoyang to assist Zhao Hanzhang.
They were all confused when they entered Gaoyang, and they had no idea why the place where they managed general affairs changed from Shangcai to Gaoyang overnight.
When they arrived at the county government office, Zhao Hanzhang went out to greet them in person, "Brothers are here, please come in quickly."
Looking at Zhao Hanzhang who was still wearing his armor, and thinking of the blood stains and the dragged corpses they had seen along the way, Zhao Hui and others twitched their lips and asked gently: "Third sister, is there anything we can do?"
Zhao Hanzhang: "That's too much. The most important thing is the household room. Although Tinghan is smart, his manpower is limited, so he needs help from his brothers."
Zhao Hui led the clan brothers to follow her to the household room. When he saw Fu Tinghan and Fu An inside, he asked, "Where is the chief registrar of Gaoyang County?"
"I killed him," Zhao Hanzhang smiled nonchalantly and said, "But all the officials in the household are still there. I just asked them to summon the remaining officials from the county government to come back. They should be back soon, brothers.
Can be called."
Zhao Hui and others twitched their lips, "That's it..."
What should I do if I feel a little scared looking at the third sister like this?
Fu Tinghan saw them and waved directly, "You're here just in time, help me record some entries."
Zhao Hui hurriedly stepped forward. Compared to Zhao Hanzhang, Fu Tinghan looked safer.
Zhao Hanzhang did not disturb them. Seeing that they were getting along harmoniously, he turned back to the county magistrate's office.
She waved away the lotus, carried the inkstone by herself, and slowly ground the ink, thinking about how to write a letter to Governor He.
This is a private letter, but it cannot be completely considered a private letter. It must have the meaning of an official document.
After polishing the ink, Zhao Hanzhang also thought about how to write this letter.
She put the inkstone aside and was about to roll up her sleeves, then she remembered that she was still wearing armor.
She stood up hurriedly, "No wonder I feel so tired, I'm going to take it off, I'm gonna take it off!"
Tinghe hurriedly stepped forward to help her take off her armor, helped her change into light clothes, and said, "Girl, you haven't slept a wink all night. You had a long day's journey yesterday. Do you want to get some sleep first?"
Only then did Zhao Hanzhang remember, "Ting Han hasn't had any rest either. You go to the kitchen to make some food and send it to the house so that he can rest after using it. He's too tired."
"...Yes," Tinghe said, "What about you?"
Zhao Hanzhang spread out the paper and said, "I will go to rest after I finish writing this letter."
Tinghe was then happy, "I'm going to make food for you and Da Langjun. We'll have some rest together after a while."
Zhao Hanzhang didn't listen much and responded casually, focusing all his attention on writing a letter to Governor He.
I don’t know where Zhao Ming took Zhao Kuan to. Chen County is not close to Xiping. It would take three days to get there without stopping on the way, right?
Alas, what a headache. Taxation in Aoyang County is also a big problem. How can she make He Cishi willing to manage Aoyang County for her and reduce some taxes at the same time?
Zhao Hanzhang felt that this problem was too difficult and she had to eat it one bite at a time, so she focused on describing Magistrate Sun's request for help from Xiping.
She expressed her shock and anger when she learned that the county magistrate was killed by the rebels, and her fear and fear when she arrived in Aoyang County and saw that the entire people had rebelled.
Zhao Hanzhang said that she alone could not calm down the chaos in Aoyang County, so she had no choice but to find ways to appease the chaos and attract peace.
Luoyang is uneasy now, and if chaos occurs again in Yuzhou, the court will definitely hold him accountable, so Zhao Hanzhang believes that the top priority is stability, and everything is insignificant in the face of stability.
So she found a way to appease the people of Aoyang. At the same time, she also wrote about the reasons for the chaos in Aoyang, saying that both the county magistrate and magistrate Sun who were victims of this incident should bear some responsibility, although she also regretted the death of the magistrate.
.
Finally, Zhao Hanzhang meaningfully mentioned the kindness of Governor He to her, saying that she would definitely manage Xiping well and that Governor He would obey her orders.
After writing the letter, Zhao Hanzhang went to Ji Yuan after drying the ink, looked at him eagerly and asked: "Sir, what do you think of my letter?"
"It's good," Ji Yuan said: "As long as he doesn't know that Shang Cai is also in your hands, he won't be angry."
In He Cishi's eyes, it was normal for Xiping County not to pay him the taxes he requested. After all, Xiping County was destroyed last year and the whole of Xiping suffered heavy losses.
I'm afraid more of his anger will be directed at Shang Cai.
I feel sorry for Magistrate Chai.
When Zhao Hanzhang heard what he said, he immediately enveloped it and said, "Then I'll have someone send it to Chen County right now."
Ji Yuan nodded, "County Magistrate Sun is also on his way to Chen County. It is best for this letter to arrive before Magistrate Sun..."
The two looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
Magistrate Sun is rushing towards Chen County, but not only the people need to stop and rest, but the horses also need it.
He got out of the car exhausted and sat on the grass in a panic. He was anxious and didn't know what was going on in Gaoyang County. Zhao Hanzhang was very capable in fighting, so he should be able to save the county, right?
His wife and children are still in the county town.
Yes, Magistrate Sun's wife and children are still in the county government office, so Zhao Hanzhang did not live in the backyard, but lived in the front office with Fu Tinghan. The two of them lived in a small rest room next to the lobby, and the room was occupied.
It was divided into two and separated by a large screen to create a small single room.
The two of them were busy until noon, and finally had a meal. Then they couldn't bear it anymore, so they returned to the small single room and fell asleep.
Mrs. Sun took her children and hid in the backyard. After finding out that the chaos in the county town had been settled, she immediately wanted to see Zhao Hanzhang, but before she could reach the front office, she was stopped at the small gate.
Mrs. Sun didn't expect that she was no longer qualified to join the county government. The soldiers guarding the small gate refused to be accommodating. Even the officials who once treated her with respect avoided her gaze and left quickly without saying a word.
