After half a year, Zhao Hanzhang returned to Chen County.
Zhao Ming led officials from the governor's office and the county governor's office to greet him outside the city, giving Zhao Hanzhang a lot of face as the governor.
The two parties were a little excited when they saw each other at the gate of the city. On the Yuzhou side: Our envoy finally came back, and the territory has expanded again. Now the whole area of Luoyang is ours. Most of Henan County is in the hands of the envoy. Sizhou
Will it be far away?
The people Zhao Hanzhang brought back felt like they were returning home in fine clothes when they were welcomed by Zhao Ming and others, except Zhao Hu.
He opened the curtains and took a look outside. Finally, with a snort, he asked the coachman to pass the people in front and go into the city.
The coachman also wanted to, but he didn't dare, so he lowered his head to persuade him, "Master, why don't you wait a moment? The girl is talking to Mr. Ming Lang."
"Are you my coachman or hers? Get on as soon as I tell you!"
The coachman looked troubled and carefully led the horse two steps forward. Zhao Hanzhang had already turned around and came forward with a smile on his face, "Seventh Uncle, we are here. It has been a hard journey, let's go to the city."
Zhao Hu snorted and said to the driver: "Let's go!"
Zhao Hanzhang nodded to the coachman, and the coachman drove the carriage past Zhao Hanzhang and others and headed into the city.
Everyone frowned slightly, and Zhao Ming also disagreed very much, staring at Zhao Hanzhang calmly.
Zhao Hanzhang raised his head and smiled at him, got on his horse and led everyone into the city.
Mrs. Wang was walking around at home. She also wanted to go out of town to pick up her daughter, but Zhao Ming sent someone to say that it was not appropriate for her to go out of town to meet her, so she could only stay at home.
As soon as she heard the sound of horse hooves, she immediately turned around and walked quickly out the door. She met her daughter at the gate. A bright smile broke out on Mrs. Wang's face, "Sanniang!"
Zhao Hanzhang walked forward quickly with a riding crop in hand, "Mother..."
Wang grabbed her and looked her up and down, tears welling up in her eyes, "Luoyang is not far from Chen County. You and Erlang don't know how to come back and visit after the war. Do you know how worried I am about you?"
She also complained that Zhao Hanzhang would not let her go to Luoyang, otherwise she would be relieved to go and see it in person.
Zhao Hanzhang smiled and looked at her back and forth, and after she finished reading, he said: "I am very safe. I have written back. There are still rebels and bandits scattered on the road. I don't want my mother to go to Luoyang because I am worried about your safety.
Look, won’t I be back soon?”
Wang looked behind her, saw Fu Tinghan, and asked him quickly, "Is Tinghan not injured?"
Fu Tinghan smiled and shook his head, "No, I'm in the rear, very safe."
Wang looked relieved, looked around and asked, "Where is Erlang?"
"Erlang is guarding Luoyang," Zhao Hanzhang said with a smile, "We finally captured Luoyang, how can we all leave?"
In fact, Zhao Erlang stayed behind to lead people to dig mud and repair canals.
Wang thought the same thing. Luoyang, which she had finally occupied, could no longer be occupied by others. She quickly pulled Zhao Hanzhang to go to the courtyard, "Let's go, I asked the kitchen to cook something delicious for you. Erlang asked
People wrote back and said that it was very difficult for you and you didn’t even have any meat to eat.”
Zhao Erlang didn't know many words, let alone write them, so it was his servants Lu Hu and Zhao Cai who wrote letters. In the letters, he complained that they had no meat to eat.
Wang felt very distressed and sent money to Zhao Hanzhang several times, but it did not improve his life much. Zhao Hanzhang kept all the money for other purposes.
Zhao Hanzhang patted her hand and said, "I just missed my grandma, so I ran back to see you first. Uncle Ming and the others are still waiting for me. I'll go see them first and come back later."
"
Wang stopped and looked at her with a distressed expression.
Zhao Hanzhang couldn't bear it and said quickly: "Auntie, Ting Han and I only brought back a set of clothes and not many things."
Wang's spirits perked up and she immediately said, "I'll make arrangements for you, just wait."
After saying this, he greeted Ting He and Fu An who were following them, and left in a hurry with them and their luggage.
Zhao Hanzhang breathed a sigh of relief, and then went to meet Zhao Ming and others at the governor's house on the next street.
That's right, the governor's mansion is so close to her governor's mansion.
Now the Wang family lives in the Governor's Mansion, and official affairs are basically handled in the Sheriff's Mansion.
Zhao Hanzhang strode to the county governor's house. Zhao Ming and representatives from various counties and states arrived. Xun Xiu, Mi Ce and Wang Nian all came in person. Ji Ping, Song Zhi and others were also on the side. When they saw Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan coming in, they immediately
Stand up and salute.
Zhao Hanzhang walked up to the top, raised his hand and said, "No need to be polite, just sit down and talk."
Zhao Hanzhang sat down, and then everyone sat down separately. Fu Tinghan was on her lower left, and Zhao Ming was directly opposite.
Zhao Hanzhang said: "Let's get started. Where to start?"
She glanced at Zhao Ming and said, "Chief Zhao, let's go first."
The summer harvest has ended, and the situation in each county has been roughly understood. Zhao Ming is now in charge of Runan County and Liang State. Among them, Runan County is in the best condition, and Liang State is worse. But last year they rushed to plant a batch of winter wheat. This year
The millet was sown at the right time, and although there was a slight drought, it was still within control.
Especially in some places, rivers and ditches were cleaned up during the work-for-relief program and watered in time, so the harvest was pretty good.
They started collecting taxes this year and only reduced some taxes.
"Taxes in both places have been reduced and reduced, and people pay quickly. There are currently no people who have lost their land and left because of paying taxes."
Zhao Hanzhang nodded with satisfaction and warned everyone: "We have spent a lot of effort to gather the refugees and make them farm with peace of mind. Therefore, I will never allow excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes in the local area to force the people to give up their land and leave."
She glanced at the representatives from each county and said coldly: "If you let me know that there is a violator, the few days I am in Chen County will be the deadline for you to take the initiative to inform me. After this deadline, anyone who asks me to find out
, I will severely punish you without giving you any credit.”
Everyone quickly bowed in response.
After threatening, Zhao Hanzhang smiled again, praised the two counties for their good work, and hoped that other counties would learn from Runan County and Liang Kingdom.
Then she continued to listen to reports from other counties.
After listening to the reports from the representatives of the ten counties, a long time passed.
Zhao Ming nodded to his servants and said to Zhao Hanzhang: "Your Majesty, everyone is also hungry. Why don't we talk while we eat."
"That's fine."
The servants went down and brought the food up.
There were two meat dishes, one vegetable dish and one soup dish on every table. Considering that most of the people present were warriors, Zhao Ming had a basket of steamed buns placed on each table in the kitchen.
White flour, flawless, just smelling it is very exciting.
After Zhao Hanzhang washed her hands, she picked up one. It was soft and chewy. She thought it was delicious even without eating it.
She took a bite with a look of emotion on her face, and after chewing, she sighed sadly: "It's too extravagant~"
Zhao Ming, who has cut down his meals again and again:... This chapter has been completed!
