I don’t know if there was such a misunderstanding, but when Ji Yuan offered money to buy grain from them, they sold it to Ji Yuan without being too entangled.
The price... is actually quite reasonable.
This was something Ji Yuan didn't even expect.
At this point, Ji Yuan finally couldn't help but said to Zhao Hanzhang: "Zhao's contribution to the girl's success is indispensable."
Zhao Hanzhang nodded, "So I am grateful and will try my best to repay you in the future."
Ji Yuan thought for a while and then smiled and said: "The girl and the Zhao family can be regarded as mutual achievements. Could it be that if the Zhao family is in trouble in the future, the girl will not help?"
Zhao Hanzhang was able to fight for the Zhao family's Wubao with his troops when he had nothing, and he would definitely not sit back and watch the Zhao family suffer in the future.
Zhao Ming must have noticed this, as what they are doing now is actually investment.
Invest in Zhao Hanzhang and wait for her to support you in the future.
Ji Yuan understood, Zhao Hanzhang also saw clearly, and even Zhao Ming knew that they knew that this was just a conspiracy.
Although Zhao Hanzhang was a girl, Zhao Ming and the Zhao family couldn't help cultivating and supporting her as the husband of the clan.
Up to now, although Zhao Ming has not stated it clearly, the resources of the Zhao family are indeed tilted towards Zhao Hanzhang, and there is a vague trend of her being the leader.
Especially after the news that she had captured Aoyang and was about to serve as the governor of Runan County was sent back to the Zhao family.
Even Zhao Hu couldn't help but ask: "She is short of food, does she need help?"
Many relatives of the Zhao family are rich in assets. This summer's harvest is not bad, and there is a lot of grain stored in the warehouse.
They did not sell out. First, the price of food was erratic. The price inside Xiping was the same, but the price outside Xiping was sometimes high and sometimes low. They felt that they would lose money if they sold at this time;
Second, in troubled times, food is expensive and they are reluctant to sell too much.
But if it was Zhao Hanzhang who bought it, that would be a different matter.
Zhao Hanzhang was overjoyed. She would not refuse anyone who came, and she would receive whatever the tribesmen sold her.
Is she short of money now?
What she lacks is food.
Zhao Hanzhang also asked his clansmen to help match up with other gentry and wealthy families to buy grain. So Ji Yuan got busy and began to transfer money from various workshops and shops to buy grain.
If it's not enough, Zhao Hanzhang's dowry must be misappropriated.
The first batch of grain was delivered to Aoyang first.
Zhao Hanzhang thought for a while and asked Zhao Ming to personally lead a team to escort him to Chen County, and attached a letter to Governor He.
She showed her sincerity, and Governor He should also show some sincerity.
He Qishi did not expect to receive the first batch of military rations so quickly, and he became more and more certain that this was Zhao's intention. Otherwise, how could Zhao Hanzhang have such ability to raise so much military rations without using taxes from Gaoyang?
After thinking about it, Governor He issued an official document officially appointing Zhao Hanzhang as the Chancellor of Runan County, but he did not report it to the court.
Zhao Hanzhang didn't mind either. Anyway, as long as the counties in Runan County received this official document, it would be fine. Whether the imperial court recognized it or not was a matter for later.
In other words, it actually doesn't matter whether the court recognizes it or not.
The imperial court, which is currently at war with Gou Xi, does not have much prestige in the prefectures.
After Zhao Hanzhang got the official document, he asked Ji Yuan to start preparing the second batch of military rations, "Send it slowly, wait until I take control of Aoyang."
Ji Yuan: "Girl, there are ten counties in Runan County. Counting Gaoyang, you can only control three counties."
Zhao Hanzhang: "The road must be walked step by step, and the food must be eaten one bite at a time. I am not in a hurry. I must grasp the existing trends and then slowly penetrate the uncontrolled trends. We must not let the outside mess up our internal affairs."
She said: "So Xiping and Shangcai continue to develop steadily, and now we focus on stabilizing Aoyang. When Aoyang and Shangcai are both under our control, we can then radiate to the surrounding areas. The post of Juncheng only allows me to act more
It’s just a matter of fact.”
After all, not every county is like Aoyang, always having a rebellion at just the right time for her to settle in.
Ji Yuan expressed his understanding and went to execute it immediately, but said, "Girl, we don't have much money anymore."
Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Sir, don't worry about money. I have my own way."
She can find ways to earn money, but if things don't work out, she still has the treasure Zhao Changyu left her, but she won't use it if she has a way.
After successfully obtaining the appointment letter of the county magistrate, Zhao Hanzhang immediately ordered the counties to move the county government to Xiping County. If each county wanted to report matters in the future, they would have to go to Xiping.
Then she handed Ao Yang to Zhao Kuan, patted her butt and left.
Zhao Kuan is still confused until now. When he sent Zhao Hanzhang out of the city, he was a little confused, "I will be the county magistrate in Gaoyang?"
"Yes, Gao is not happy?"
Before Zhao Kuan could answer, Zhao Hanzhang had already warned: "I left Uncle Qianli to help you, and there are so many clan brothers. Please be more attentive. The summer harvest has just ended, and the work in the fields cannot be left behind. Let everyone take care of it."
After providing food relief, we should seize the time to plant some beans. The farming season is still here. After this month, it will be too late to plant beans."
He added: "It doesn't matter if you don't have time to plant seeds next month. You can find a way to use all the spare labor. I have reserved all the grain in the Aoyang County granary for you. You have the capital to work for relief.
, water conservancy and roads should be repaired, don’t let them idle.”
Zhao Hanzhang sighed: "Chaos comes from hunger and idleness. If you can make them have food to eat and work to do, then Haoyang will gradually settle down."
Zhao Kuan was involved in the construction of Shangcai and knew how to do these general affairs. He nodded and said that he had taken note of it.
Only then did Zhao Hanzhang leave with satisfaction.
She took away many people from Aoyang, which could reduce Zhao Kuan's resistance, such as Chen Wan and Xiang Yu, and she brought them all back to Xiping.
Then throw them into the army and let them lead the troops for training, starting from a small person.
Without these thorns in Gaoyang County, it will be much easier for Zhao Kuan to do things again, but there will still be resistance, such as the local gentry Guan family.
In this regard, Zhao Hanzhang had only one instruction: "Have less contact with them."
He even asked Zhao Kuan to forget about the Zhao family for a while, "Don't always think that you are from the Zhao family. Brother Kuan, you are my person now and you are doing things for me. You are the magistrate of Aoyang County and what you have to do is right."
What I want is for the people of Aoyang to believe in you and me, so that you can be my arm in the future."
"So you must temporarily forget your identity as a member of the Zhao family, so that you can not be restricted by the nobles," Zhao Hanzhang said: "Before Aoyang is stabilized, have less contact with the local nobles and wealthy people."
Zhao Kuan thought of her actions in Xiping and Shang Cai, and asked: "Is it the same as when you went to Xiping and Cai?"
"Yes," Zhao Hanzhang said: "What I want is that even if all these noble families oppose me in the future, I will still have absolute control over Ai Yang."
As long as the vast majority of people in a county agree with her, then she is considered to have control of the county, and aren't the majority of people in a county composed of ordinary people?
Zhao Kuan's heart was trembling at that time and asked: "What can you do even if you are against all the wealthy noble families?"
Zhao Kuan almost thought she was going to say the two words he least wanted to hear, but she glanced at him and said, "For example, I will do my best to protect Zhao's Wubao."
