Chapter 303 The difference between the two counties
Early the next morning, the news of Chang Ning's promotion to the county magistrate of Xiping County spread throughout Xiping County. Zhao Hanzhang used his county magistrate's seal to not only give Chang Ning a letter of appointment, but also wrote an announcement and posted it directly outside the county government office.
bulletin wall.
She wrote this announcement herself, stating the reasons for her promotion to Chang Ning and expressing her desire for talents.
Now the Huns are marching south, Luoyang is besieged, and Yuzhou is also in a war. Half of the year has passed, and Dazhongzheng has no intention of finalizing the order, so the urgently needed talents in various places can only deal with it by themselves.
Zhao Hanzhang said that Runan County is in urgent need of various talents now, and talented people like Magistrate Chang cannot be buried.
Therefore, she hopes that talented people can recommend themselves to her after seeing this announcement. At that time, she will ask some questions to test the other person. As long as they can answer her questions and pass the interview, no matter what the other person's identity and family background are,
She really appreciates them all.
When the announcement was posted, the county magistrate and gentry who had not yet left were shocked. So Chang Ning, who had been a staff member of Magistrate Chai and had never been judged, suddenly became equal to them?
No, now the administration of Runan County was moved to Xiping by Zhao Hanzhang, and Xiping County suddenly became Guo County. His status is higher than theirs.
Everyone looked at Magistrate Chai in unison, with complicated expressions in their eyes.
Magistrate Chai was also startled for a moment, and then he felt that Chang Ning was very lucky. Zhao Hanzhang actually gave up his position as magistrate of Xiping County just like this?
Just when everyone inside and outside the county was shocked by this announcement, Zhao Hanzhang rode out with his people and said to Magistrate Gao who was waiting at the gate of the city: "Magistrate Gao, let's go."
County Magistrate Gao trotted forward in excitement, looking up at Zhao Hanzhang who was riding on his horse, "Does Magistrate Gao really want to go to our Suiping County?"
Zhao Hanzhang responded and asked: "Why, County Magistrate Gao is still reluctant to leave?"
"No, no, no, he's leaving. He's leaving. I'll follow you right away."
The other county magistrates who were also about to leave the city retreated to one side and watched as Magistrate Gao mounted his horse and ran to Zhao Hanzhang's side.
Zhao Hanzhang nodded to the county magistrates and warned: "You should also return to the county as soon as possible to appease the people and do a good job in the autumn harvest."
All county magistrates bowed in response.
Zhao Hanzhang kicked the horse in the belly and led the horse away.
Fu Tinghan followed, Qiu Wu and County Magistrate Gao followed, and their entourages also followed.
Seeing that Zhao Hanzhang was traveling with more than twenty riders, all the county magistrates looked at each other with different ideas.
Twenty cavalry didn't seem like much, but this was just an ordinary trip, and even the county guard would find it difficult to bring more than twenty cavalry with him. Most of them were just a few horses, with a bunch of entourage running behind them.
When the former county magistrate died, Zhao Hanzhang directly moved the county government to Xiping, bringing with him two officials from the county governor's office, while all other officials stayed in Aoyang.
And she was able to bring out so many soldiers and horses during her ordinary travels, which shows that she has a lot of horses under her control.
Horses are the most important in this world, more important than people.
When there are no more people, just go to the intersection and shout, as long as you can get food to eat, you can recruit as many people as you want, but horses are different.
Who can call a horse in the street?
By this time, the county magistrates had a preliminary understanding of Zhao Hanzhang's military power and arrogance.
No one dares to disobey a well-armed boss.
The county magistrates looked at each other, got in the car silently and left.
Zhao Hanzhang led people all the way to Suiping in a hurry. After entering Suiping County, she felt the difference.
She slowed down her horse, and Fu Tinghan and the others also slowed down.
Zhao Hanzhang asked the horse to move forward slowly. In the fields on both sides, green soybeans were looming among the weeds. The rice in the fields also grew normally. The most important thing was that some rice fields were cut in one direction or another.
This is the critical time for weeding and fertilizing, but there are not many people in the fields.
I was in Xiping County just now, and there were many people working in the fields on the roadside.
Zhao Hanzhang saw someone in the field not far away, so she turned her horse and headed there. Magistrate Gao hurriedly followed.
Before their horses arrived, the people in the field looked up when they heard the noise. When they saw so many people riding horses, their expressions changed, and they turned around and ran away...
But how could a man outrun a horse, not to mention that the other horse was not very fast? After only a dozen steps, he fell to the field with a thud and was covered in mud.
Zhao Hanzhang jumped off his horse, not caring about the water in the field, and jumped down to help others, "Old man, are you okay?"
She grabbed the person's arm and pulled him up. When she pulled her up, she realized that her movements were slow and staggering. The thin and hunched person was not an old man, but a young man.
Zhao Hanzhang quickly changed his words, "Brother, did you get injured in the fall?"
The other party stared at Zhao Hanzhang in confusion, his arms trembling slightly under her hands. His eyes passed over Zhao Hanzhang and fell on the entourage behind her, and his face became paler, "You, who are you?"
Fu Tinghan also dismounted, and saw that the man was still sitting down in the field. Zhao Hanzhang seemed to be unable to pull the man up, so he frowned slightly, stepped into the field, and waded over to help pull the man up, "Are you okay?"
Zhao Hanzhang shook his head slightly at him and smiled with the young man: "We were passing by and wanted to ask my brother about the way to Suiping County."
Magistrate Gao wanted to say that he knew the way, but Qiu Wu stopped him before he could speak.
Magistrate Gao was so excited that he slowly realized that Zhao Hanzhang wanted to investigate the public sentiment.
He stopped talking and stood at the edge of the field honestly.
When the young man heard that they were asking for directions, he breathed a sigh of relief. He looked carefully at Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan, especially Zhao Hanzhang. Because she was a girl, he was less wary. After standing still, he pointed at the road they had just come from.
He said: "Keep going straight along that road. If you're walking, you'll probably turn left in the evening and keep walking until you're there."
Magistrate Gao: ...It’s a lie. You obviously have to turn several times to get there. How is it possible that you can get there with just one turn?
Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan helped the man to the ridge of the field. Seeing that he was soaked through, they smiled and nodded and said, "Thank you, brother. You are wet. Go back and change clothes quickly."
The young man didn't care. He grabbed his clothes, squeezed out the water, patted them and continued to wear them, "We don't pay attention to this."
He looked at Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan numbly, waiting for them to leave.
But Zhao Hanzhang refused to leave. Instead, he looked curiously towards the direction he had just run in and asked with a smile: "I don't know what you call me brother. Does the field just now belong to your family? I think the crops are growing pretty well."
The young man frowned and looked at them, slightly wary. Zhao Hanzhang had already waved to Tinghe behind him, and Tinghe immediately came forward carrying a small baggage.
Zhao Hanzhang brought a sesame cake from the bag and handed it to the young man, "I see that you look a little bad and your stomach keeps growling. Are you hungry? Do you want to eat a cake?"
The young man stared at the cake in Zhao Hanzhang's hand with eyes wide open and could no longer look away.
