Zhao Ming had long known that He Governor had left the iron mines in Runan County to Zhao Hanzhang. Of course, it was not for Zhao Hanzhang personally, but for Yuzhou.
The He family has lost its governor, and no one can control Xun Xiu. Generals like Mi Ce and the iron mines must be given away. Otherwise, not only Xun Xiu and other generals, but also the Zhao family in Yuzhou, and a family like the Xun family will be
Can eat them.
Now Governor He has handed over the iron ore directly to Zhao Hanzhang. Even if it is just for the favor of the iron ore, Zhao will try his best to protect the He family and his family, so that they can live without worries in food and clothing under the protection.
However, it was an iron mine after all, and it was an iron mine with a high output. He thought that the He family would have to negotiate some more conditions before they were willing to hand it over to Zhao Hanzhang, but now she has completely won it.
Zhao Hanzhang knew what Zhao Ming was thinking, so he returned to his old house with him and asked his servants to take Yu Sheng and others down to rest. Then he turned to Zhao Ming and said, "People in the He family are very aware of current affairs. Since the death of Prefect Zhang, He Heng
He has already mentioned to me three times that he wanted to hand over the iron ore, and it just so happened that he was coming back to see his uncle this time, so I took him along with me."
"Come back to see me?"
"Yes," Zhao Hanzhang smiled, "didn't my uncle ask many people to help raise supplies for me? I came back to see if I said anything. I can't let my uncle lose face, right?"
Zhao Ming snorted lightly and said: "As long as you can come up with the money to pay the bill, I will have face."
Zhao Hanzhang immediately said: "I brought the money back this time."
Zhao Ming was slightly surprised.
Zhao Hanzhang asked: "The state affairs are so busy that I have forgotten whether today is the winter solstice or whether I went out this morning. Zhao Tong brought a bowl of dumplings, and I realized that today is the winter solstice, so I did not dare to stay outside longer, and immediately rushed back to Xiping."
.I wonder if our family can hold a winter solstice banquet this year? Those who have prepared supplies can be in the Wubao?"
She went to Shangcai.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Zhao Ming nodded, "Some people are here, some people are not."
"Please also ask your uncle for a recommendation."
Zhao Ming looked her up and down and saw that she was full of confidence, so he asked: "Where did you get so much money?"
Zhao Hanzhang couldn't help but have a bright smile on his face, and said directly: "My grandfather left it to me."
The guess came true, and Zhao Ming didn't know what to say.
Zhao Hanzhang did not hide this, and hoped that this rumor would spread more and more widely.
Zhao Ming didn't know if he had guessed her plan, so he turned around and took her to the garden where the banquet was held to meet people.
In this era, it was not just merchants who had more supplies, but aristocratic families and noble families.
What merchants are, they are just people who transport goods for aristocratic families and noble families, and most of them are from their own families.
The so-called aristocratic families and gentry are large landowners who integrate farming, textiles, shops and trade.
In this era when the labor force is severely lost and ordinary people have no clothes and no food to eat, aristocratic families and noble families are the only ones who can have extra supplies.
They would use these materials to buy more land and population, and then establish a stronger system. Therefore, if Zhao Hanzhang wanted to buy materials, he could only go to them, and they were the first ones he thought of.
They love pleasure and exquisite life, and they also need to strengthen their abilities.
So they need money to buy exquisite porcelain, soft silks, powerful weapons and iron tools, etc.
But now, Zhao Hanzhang has the gold and silver they need, and they have the grain and cloth Zhao Hanzhang needs.
They fit in so well, which made them very friendly as soon as they met.
In order to show that he was not short of money, Zhao Hanzhang clapped his hands, and his guards carried four large boxes up. When they were opened, they found neatly stacked gold cakes inside.
Everyone was stunned, even Zhao Ming, who had expected it, could not hold back his fists.
Zhao Hanzhang said with a smile: "Hanzhang is influenced by his ancestors. This is what my grandfather left to me. It is only a part. My uncles also know that now Yuzhou is full of waste and is in need of supplies, so I still invite my uncles."
Be generous. If you have any extra things at home, sell them to Hanzhang."
She said carelessly, as if she didn't know how valuable gold and silver were, "The price is easy to negotiate."
The famous nobles and nobles who came to Zhao's winter solstice banquet swallowed their saliva, their eyes slowly slid from the golden cakes to Zhao Hanzhang's face, and asked: "This... these are all given to Sanniang by Mr. Zhao..."
…Is your Majesty allowed to stay?”
Zhao Hanzhang smiled and nodded: "Not bad."
Everyone's hearts are on fire, what Zhao Changyu left behind~~
It seems that the rumors are not wrong. Considering Zhao Changyu's good business management and stingy temperament, he has saved an unknown amount of money. Ten years ago, I heard that he was as rich as anyone in the country, and his family's savings were higher than those of Shi Chong and others.
Huh, people like Shi Chong are very wealthy, but they don't know how to restrain themselves. They make a little bit of extravagant wealth known to the world. How can they be as low-key and restrained as Zhao Changyu?
It seems that he left all the money to Zhao Hanzhang.
Then...does Zhao Zhongyu know?
He has inherited the position of clan leader. Are all of these properties the private property of Zhao Changyu or the family property of the Zhao family?
Everyone kept going to see Zhao Ming.
Zhao Ming's face was indifferent. It was really difficult for everyone to see other meanings from his fair face, so they had no choice but to give up.
The Winter Solstice Banquet is a very elegant banquet. It's okay for everyone to write poems, write articles and draw pictures. What's the point of talking about business?
So Zhao Hanzhang just mentioned it, and the others just listened and looked over the gold cake. We will talk about the specific matters later.
It's not even necessary for Zhao Hanzhang to come forward in person, Ji Yuan can do it.
Zhao Hanzhang met the many talented people at the banquet and left with a smile on his face. No one was chosen.
Seeing this, Zhao Ming couldn't help but frown and follow her, "The Zhongzhengguan of Yuzhou is still General Xiahou. I heard that he is now in Lu State and is very close to Gou Xi?"
The State of Lu also belongs to Yuzhou. Yes, the scope of our Yuzhou is so large.
But... "The State of Lu is not within my control."
"So if he selects talents in the Lu State, do you think you can beat him?" Zhao Ming said: "There are so many people here now, why don't you select talents in a certain way?"
Zhao Ming was very courageous and said directly: "You are the governor and have the right to select talents."
Zhao Hanzhang smiled and said: "I won't decide on the product. If anyone wants to become an official, just take the exam."
Seeing Zhao Ming frowning and not speaking, Zhao Hanzhang said: "I know that they maintain their identity and are unwilling to take the exam with poor scholars. However, if they want to become officials and gain power, and want to show their ambitions, they can run around and express their opinions.
, I hope the superior will take a fancy to you, how much more noble is this than just taking an exam and letting me choose my talents?"
"Sit with the poor man..."
"Uncle, among all the people in the world, only one out of ten million can live up to the status of a poor person. The remaining tens of millions are untouchables in their hearts. And what I do is to want all people to live in peace. They can't even sit with a poor person.
If you are willing, how can you be willing to bend down for this untouchable?"
Zhao Hanzhang shook his head and said: "They are so noble, I can't afford them."
Zhao Ming couldn't hear the sarcasm in her mouth. After a moment of silence, he nodded, "That's fine. If you can't choose someone with similar interests, at least you can't have too deep differences."
