"The 100,000 people were brought back to Luoyang. Several counties near Luoyang were empty, so I brought 500 households here to settle down this time." Fu Tinghan looked her up and down, and felt relieved when he saw that she was not injured, and said:
"Fan Ying is here too and is waiting outside to see you."
"Why don't you come in?"
Fu Tinghan smiled and said: "She feels guilty and feels that she has betrayed your trust, so she dare not come in."
At that time, Zhao Hanzhang rescued about 200,000 people from Shi Le and dumped them all in Xiangcheng, under the management of Fan Ying.
Those people all escaped from Luoyang with the King of Donghai.
Luoyang is so big, with five to six million people in one city. It is not difficult to bring back these 200,000 people and relocate them, which can just in time revitalize the lifeless Luoyang.
So before leaving, Zhao Hanzhang left a message to her, asking her to take good care of him.
Who knew that as soon as Zhao Hanzhang stepped forward, someone would leave the team behind him.
There are a total of 200,000 people. Among them are defeated soldiers, poor people, nobles from poor families, and branches of aristocratic families and their family records.
There were even officials and scholar-bureaucrats who were dispersed in the chaos.
They were full of ideas and had already escaped from Luoyang. Naturally, they could not return to Luoyang with Zhao Hanzhang in such a miserable state, so they chose where to go and left directly.
Fan Ying couldn't stop him because Zhao Hanzhang only had 10,000 troops left behind, so she didn't dare to act too harshly to avoid backlash.
But unexpectedly, some of them came back one day after leaving, and then encouraged more people to leave with them.
Because there were so many people and things to do, everyone could stay or leave as they pleased. Fan Ying didn't pay attention at first, but she realized something was wrong when a large number of people left. After checking, she found out that someone was spreading rumors among the refugees, encouraging everyone to go to Yanzhou.
Originally there were 200,000 people, but within a few days there were only less than 100,000 left.
Fan Ying was very sad. When Zhao Hanzhang called her into the room, she immediately knelt down with red eyes.
Zhao Hanzhang hurriedly helped her up and said, "I don't blame you for this. It was my own lack of thinking. I should have divided and conquered the people at that time."
Fan Ying was even more sad, "I took the risk to save so many people, but I couldn't even save them. I am really incompetent. Please punish me severely."
Just as Zhao Hanzhang was about to comfort her, Fu Tinghan on the side said: "Since you have done it, let's punish her. You have always made clear rewards and punishments."
Zhao Hanzhang paused and then said: "Okay, then I will fine you half a year's salary, and your merits this time will be offset."
Fan Ying opened her mouth wide, "That's it?"
"Otherwise, do you still want to resign?" Zhao Hanzhang sighed: "This is the time when I need people around me. Do you want to leave now?"
Fan Ying said quickly: "As long as you can use me, I am willing to follow you all my life."
Zhao Hanzhang nodded, "That's good. You can arrange for the refugees to be relocated, do a good job of registering them, and enclose a piece of land for them in the south of the city. Let them choose what to plant. Don't miss the farming season."
"Yes," it's actually a bit late now. Fortunately, spring came later this year, and there are still late spring colds from time to time, so we can replant. In previous years, it was already too late to start spring plowing now.
Fan Ying asked, "Who is the magistrate of this county?"
Zhao Hanzhang said: "I also have a headache. Do you have anyone to recommend?"
Fan Ying shook her head, "Shall I get the list of successful candidates this year?"
Zhao Hanzhang smiled and nodded: "Go ahead, I am also planning to choose someone from here."
This is the most important way for her to select talents. Zhao Hanzhang tapped his fingers and said: "In addition, there should be many talents among the people brought back this time. Fan Ying, please draw up an announcement and send it to Luoyang and Gucheng counties."
If you post it in the middle, it means that I am eager to make money and anyone who thinks he is talented can recommend himself to the county government."
"yes."
Fan Ying immediately went down to make arrangements.
Fan Ying entered work mode, and Zhao Hanzhang had time to ask Fu Tinghan about the situation in Luoyang, "Have you made arrangements for the people you brought back?"
"That's almost it. When General Beigong and General Mi went to pick them up, they took over their belongings and escorted them back. Without money and with soldiers on their side, they had to go back."
Fu Tinghan paused and then said: "However, many of them were angry and their words were a bit outrageous. The refugees were all aroused and were not very obedient to the government's management."
He said: "Mr. Ji wants you to return to Luoyang as soon as possible and punish General Beigong and General Mi severely to win over the people."
Zhao Hanzhang put his hand on his forehead. This idea came from Ji Yuan. Bei Gongchun and Mi Ce were just the executors. Now they must be severely punished.
Zhao Hanzhang laughed, shook her head and agreed that this kind of political method would probably be used many times in the future, and her subordinates really needed to get familiar with it.
But she has already figured out how to supplement Bei Gongjun and Mi Ce...
Zhao Hanzhang thought for a while and then said: "What do you think I let Mi Ce guard Yingchuan County?"
"Didn't you prefer Xun Xiu before?"
"Xun Xiu has an impetuous temper and is not as safe as Mi Ce. The most important thing now in Yuzhou and Luoyang is stability so that the people can recuperate and recuperate. Although Mi Ce is not as capable as Xun Xiu, he has a calm personality and a kind man. With him stationed in Yingchuan County, the people can also
Settle faster.”
Fu Tinghan nodded, "Okay."
He paused and asked, "Where is Henan County?"
Luoyang belongs to Henan County, and Henan County belongs to Sizhou.
The emperor only agreed to Zhao Kuan's recommendation letter to be appointed magistrate of Luoyang County, but Zhao Hanzhang took advantage of this to get involved in other counties in Sizhou Henan County, such as Gucheng and Yangcheng.
Fu Tinghan coughed slightly and said, "When I came out, Mr. Ji said, since you want to station troops in Gucheng, why don't you take over the entire Henan County in one fell swoop?"
Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand and said: "Several counties near Luoyang are basically empty now. Where do I need to go and get it myself? If you have a suggestion from the county magistrate, if there is no county magistrate, just send one over to receive it. We only need to ensure that this area is empty."
There will no longer be any foreign enemies to disturb us, and the people will come back on their own, and it will naturally become lively by then."
Fu Tinghan nodded.
The two exchanged a lot of information, which was actually about work. After the conversation, Zhao Hanzhang pulled him up and walked out excitedly, "Let's go, I will take you to see Chen Wu. Do you remember Chen Wu? I have already talked to you."
As I said, he is a famous general of the beggar army."
Fu Tinghan: "You never said that."
Zhao Hanzhang stopped and asked, "Didn't I say that?"
Fu Tinghan nodded, "You mentioned the Beggar Army, but you didn't say that Chen Wu was a famous general of the Beggar Army."
"I guess I forgot. Come on, I'll take you to see it."
"But the name is indeed familiar, I just can't remember it for a moment," Fu Tinghan was pulled away by her. When he was approaching the general's mansion, he remembered it and said, "I remember you took in someone before, named Chen Wan."
"Huh?" Zhao Hanzhang said: "I know Chen Wan. He is quite brave in fighting. I asked him to follow Uncle Qianli. By the way, has there been any news about Uncle Qianli's return? Gou Xi promised me to take the remaining
If the four commanderies are returned to me, will their people retreat?"
Fu Tinghan was used to her crooked building, so he took the time to reply, "Gou Xi said that he will not retreat until His Majesty reaches Yuncheng safely. Uncle Qianli is already waiting at the border."
He said: "I remember Chen Wan said that he was born in the beggar army, and he also has a brother in the beggar army, his name seems to be Chen Wu."
When Zhao Hanzhang heard this, he stopped and blinked, "What a coincidence?"
