Zhao Hanzhang put down Kuaizi, wiped his mouth and asked Zhao Cheng: "Is your journey going well, uncle?"
Zhao Cheng said bluntly: "It's not going well. From Yuzhou to Luoyang, there are refugees all the way. We are going in the wrong direction. Along the way, we can see refugees robbing each other of money and food. In some cases, they dig up corpses and eat them. If Zhao Ju hadn't sent five hundred people With protection along the way, we will not be able to reach Xiangcheng and then Luoyang smoothly."
Zhao Hanzhang sighed, "It's always been so difficult outside."
Zhao Chengdao: "As far as I know, these refugees who are wandering around are all people who fled Luoyang with the King of Donghai. Since you have repelled Shi Le, why don't you resettle them properly?"
Zhao Hanzhang said: "It's hard for a clever woman to make a living without rice. Firstly, I don't have so much money, food and grass, and secondly, I don't have so many soldiers and horses. How can I retain more than 200,000 people?"
In fact, her original plan was to leave more than 200,000 people but only 170,000 to 80,000 people could leave. Who knew that more than half of them would be able to escape?
In the end, less than 100,000 people came back.
Zhao Cheng said: "That's because your reputation is not enough."
He said: "Liu Kun can summon 100,000 refugees with just one call, and he can drive back 100,000 enemy troops with just one song of Hujia. How can he have money and soldiers?"
Zhao Hanzhang was silent.
Zhao Cheng saw that she was shocked, but he did not stop and continued: "If you want to have a good reputation, you must do justice. This time, you did something wrong. Even if they are unwilling to return to Luoyang, you should not Let Bei Gongjun and Mitze force it."
Zhao Hanzhang leaned forward and admitted his mistake, "Hanzhang was wrong."
Seeing that she was still sincere, Zhao Cheng's expression improved slightly. He glanced at Zhao Kuan and others and waved them away.
Zhao Kuan then stood up with his clan brothers, bowed and bowed before retreating. Zhao Erlang didn't move, so Zhao Kuan gave him a wink.
Zhao Erlang just pretended not to see it and only listened to his sister.
Zhao Cheng saw him and said, "Let him stay."
The child didn't remember many things in his mind, and he also wanted the child to hear more. After arriving in Luoyang, he immediately knew what happened to the clan leader. Then the Wu family might only survive until Yuncheng, and Zhao Yi has already contacted the Zhong family to discuss Zhao and Wan's wedding date.
Fu Tinghan looked around and was about to get up when Zhao Hanzhang reached out and grabbed him with affectionate eyes, "Can you bear to leave me alone to listen to the lesson?"
Fu Tinghan glanced at her holding his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then gently pulled her hand away, "I'm here, wouldn't you lose face?"
The two of them were engaged in a lawsuit, and Zhao Cheng had already said, "Ting Han can stay too."
Fu Tinghan paused, glanced at Zhao Hanzhang, and then slowly sat down.
Zhao Cheng raised his head and glanced at the young unmarried couple sitting side by side on a table. He sighed and said, "We don't know why you are so wary of wealthy families?"
Zhao Hanzhang didn't jump and looked at Zhao Cheng, "Why did uncle say this?"
Zhao Cheng: "You would rather spend a lot of money to build yushantang and schools, and ask gentlemen to cultivate talents for you from an early age, but even the smartest young people will need at least five years to get started, and you have ready-made people but don't use them. "
Zhao Hanzhang frowned and couldn't agree: "Uncle, I have issued a recruitment order. All talented people can pass the recruitment examination. The admission rate of children of aristocratic families is the highest. Where is the warning?"
Zhao Cheng looked at her with a deep look, "Hanzhang, don't treat others as fools. Your series of operations after you obtained the land were to guard against wealthy families. It seems fair at the moment, but you focus on cultivating common people from poor families. How can everyone not see it?"
"There are countless people who are older than you in the aristocratic and wealthy families. There are always people with far-sighted vision among them. So you see, in the past two years, the people who will come to you and take the talent recruitment examination, except for those from poor families, are all from side branches.
A commoner, or a person with no future..."
Zhao Hanzhang's face was solemn, "Uncle, if we don't agree with each other, we don't agree with each other. They neglect government and despise the people. How can I have the face to bend down and ask for help?"
"Before I came to Luoyang, I had the same idea as you," Zhao Cheng said: "Cousin Ming said that you are arrogant, but I don't think that in life, there are things you do and things you don't do. You look down on them, and they don't.
It is true that I have not made any contribution to the people or the country, so what if I am arrogant to them?"
Zhao Hanzhang is waiting for his but...
"However, when I went from Yuzhou to Luoyang, I saw that the families that were once as famous as my Zhao family, and the wealthy families that were once aloof and arrogant, were driven away and massacred by the rebels like nothing, and were trapped by the refugees. They also died of hunger, cold, and death.
Time is lonely."
"Their head of the family was kidnapped by Shi Le, and the clansmen left behind were scattered. The silks and satins on their bodies were tattered and dirty. They were no different from the civilians around them. They were also refugees." Zhao Cheng asked: "Are they really useless to the country?
, doing nothing at all?”
Zhao Cheng said sadly: "It's just that he was harmed by the trend and coerced by the world. I am one of them who is useless to the country. It is your uncle Ming. Before you didn't use him, what did he do to the people?
, what about things that are good for the country?”
Zhao Hanzhang pursed his lips and said: "Uncle Ming and his uncle are hiding from the world to avoid disaster. At least they do not occupy official positions and do not eat the country's salary. But they are in the world to avoid trouble, occupy official positions and eat the country's salary, but do nothing.
In these troubled times..."
"Then are you willing to give them a chance to correct their mistakes?" Zhao Cheng interrupted her and said: "Before, Wang Yan and his like were in charge, so they imitated Wang Yan, but now you and Gou Xi are in charge, and you and
Gou Xi is not a lazy person, and they will learn from your political spirit."
Zhao Hanzhang was silent.
Zhao Cheng said: "Hanzhang, if you only serve as the governor of Yuzhou, then the people you have now are indeed enough. I will not advise you, but you still occupy Luoyang. I heard that you are still stationing troops in Gucheng.
This is to take the entire Henan County into our hands,"
He raised his eyes and looked at her, "Then in the future, will you also fight for Jingzhao County and Bingzhou?"
Zhao Hanzhang raised his eyes and looked at him.
Zhao Chengdao: "If you want to be the overlord of a party, you can't do it all based on your own preferences. The people in the world who are best at governing the people and the most able to serve as your right and left hand are from the wealthy families."
"There are ready-made candidates, why would you bother to train them from scratch?"
Zhao Hanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Uncle, this is not something you can think of. Whose suggestion is this?"
Zhao Cheng sighed and said: "I was hit hard all the way from Yuzhou to Luoyang. I couldn't help but write to your Uncle Ming. This was his idea, and now it is also mine."
She just said that Zhao Cheng had always had the same idea as her on the issue of aristocratic families, so why did he suddenly change.
"No matter whose idea it is, you just say whether it's right or wrong, and whether you follow it or not, right?"
Zhao Hanzhang lowered his eyes and thought deeply, then turned his head to look at Fu Tinghan after a moment.
Fu Tinghan said: "Actually, they are right. It only takes five years for the people we train to be put into use, but they can only do the most basic work. It takes ten or twenty years to train them, and we can't afford to wait."
."
He said: "Those talents from aristocratic families can be used as soon as they are taken out. There will be many disadvantages, but the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. We can slowly correct them in the future."
