Rumor has it that Zhao Ming, the actual leader of the Zhao family in Xiping, finally no longer tolerated Zhao Hanzhang and ran from Chen County to Luoyang to start a fight with her;
But I heard that Zhao Ming could not defeat Zhao Hanzhang, so he had to use softness to overcome strength, and begged Zhao Hanzhang to treat the gentry preferentially and reduce taxes to appease the gentry in Yuzhou and Luoyang.
I heard that Zhao Hanzhang did not agree, so Zhao Mingchang could not kneel down.
I heard that the fifth master of the Zhao family who followed him felt sorry for his son and also asked Zhao Hanzhang.
Zhao Hanzhang then relented. Hearing that she cried on the spot, she said that she also wanted to give preferential treatment to the gentry in both places, because her grandfather had given preferential treatment to the gentry in Yuzhou when he was still there, helping the weak and the poor, and recommending talented people to the court.
She said that she did not want to gain a reputation as a mean person, but with so many soldiers under her command, she had to be like this. However, since Zhao Ming made the request, she would still consider it more, so she took a step back.
Zhao Hanzhang's new decree was quickly spread from Luoyang to various places. The refugees who had been exiled due to land loss had to pay according to the previous tax requirements after re-allocating their land;
The original land-owning rich peasants, gentry and wealthy people make statistics and pay taxes based on the actual acres of cultivated land. They enjoy the same tax exemption policy as refugees, that is, they only need to pay one-third of the amount of cultivated land.
tax.
However, she asked county governments in various places to keep records, and the fields under her name would be taken back to the state as long as they were not cultivated for five consecutive years.
As soon as this announcement came out, the nobles in Yuzhou and Luoyang burst into tears of gratitude to Zhao Ming and the Zhao family in Xiping. The Zhao family instantly replaced the Wang family and became the number one in the hearts of the nobles. Even the nobles outside the two places also praised the Zhao family and Zhao Ming.
, began to form a team to go to Xiping and Chen County.
This result was something Zhao Hanzhang and Zhao Ming did not expect. With so much foreshadowing, they just wanted to dilute the consequences of Zhao Hanzhang's change of orders. They did not expect that there would be an unexpected surprise.
When the feedback came back, Zhao Ming had already taken his father back to Chen County, so he could only hold back the words that came to him at once and could not talk to Zhao Hanzhang.
But there is Yu Shiming beside him.
Yu Shiming raised his eyes to look at him and asked: "Brother Zi Nian, aren't you afraid that the Zhao family will be liquidated by the envoy in the future if they are so successful that they outshine the master?"
Zhao Ming was touched. He pursed his lips tightly and said, "She is not that kind of person."
At this time, in Luoyang City, Ji Yuan and Ming Yu were both worried, "Girl, the outcome of this matter is beyond our expectations. If this continues, I'm afraid the tail will not fall off."
Zhao Hanzhang's face didn't change much, and he smiled confidently: "I believe in Uncle Ming, and I also believe in my own abilities."
She said: "If the tail is big, I will make the head and body bigger."
Ji Yuan and Ming Yu looked at each other, exhaled, and responded respectfully.
The matter was ignored, and Ji Yuan took out a letter and said: "This is a letter from Jin Yang who has just arrived. The horse you asked Governor Liu to buy has been bought. We should be able to reach Luoyang before the winter solstice."
When Zhao Hanzhang heard this, he immediately took it.
Since she occupied Luoyang, the relationship between Zhao Hanzhang and Liu Kun has become closer.
Especially Liu Kun loves to write letters. Zhao Hanzhang always receives one or two letters every month. Sometimes there is nothing important, but Liu Kun can write a letter to chat with her.
Zhao Hanzhang felt that this was a waste of manpower, but she could not refuse Liu Kun's enthusiasm, so she maintained the popularity of two letters a month, and the frequency of correspondence exceeded Fu Tinghan.
But the benefits of communication and communication are also obvious. Zhao Hanzhang asked Liu Kun to help buy horses. He tried his best. He had already sent a batch of horses before, but this batch of horses was even larger.
And it is said that most of the horses in this batch were purchased from Xianbei in the east, and the quality is very good. Unfortunately, the stallion matter is still unresolved.
Liu Kun said that Xianbei was afraid that they would breed good horses after they got the stallion, so they were unwilling to sell the stallion. Not to mention her, even Liu Kun couldn't buy it even if he wanted to.
However, he told Zhao Hanzhang not to be discouraged. He could think of other ways. As long as he gave enough, he believed that one day he would be able to impress people.
Ji Yuan waited for her to read the letter and then said: "President Liu is asking for favors from the girl."
He said: "We need to take care of Xianbei, as well as the checkpoints for escorting horses, bandit dens, etc. The money Wu Erlang brought is not enough. Let's see what the letter says. How much did Liu Jishui help advance?"
Zhao Hanzhang asked: "Do you have a bill?"
Ji Yuan shook his head, "Liu Governor is a refined scholar, how can he do such mundane things as sending bills?"
Zhao Hanzhang had a toothache and grinded his teeth and said: "I hate this kind of unclear accounts the most, and I can't ask clearly. Isn't it good to make a list of items and make a bill?"
She could have paid off the bill and added a thank you fee, otherwise she would be confused and not know whether she paid too much or too little.
If you give too little, it will appear that she is stingy; if you give too much, she will feel distressed.
The most important thing is that she doesn't know whether she is giving more or less, so she can't help but feel a little worried.
Zhao Hanzhang exhaled, thought for a while and asked: "Is there any letter from Wu Erlang?"
Ji Yuan laughed and said, "Yes."
He found a letter and gave it to Zhao Hanzhang and said: "There are bills in the letter, but they are all estimated by him, and the return bill is not included."
Zhao Hanzhang nodded and said: "After he comes back and asks him about it, prepare a thank you gift for the Jinyang army to take back. I will leave this matter to you sir."
Ji Yuan agreed, "I know that the girl is short of money now and doesn't have anything too expensive, but Liu Kun is a famous person, so gifts should only be given to those who like them. The kindness of your heart is hard to exchange for a lot of money."
Zhao Hanzhang's heart moved, "Instrument, music score?"
Ji Yuan burst out laughing and said happily: "The girl is worthy of the name of Liu Yueshi's confidant. Yes, I also think that a piece of music score will probably make Liu Governor's heart more excited than a thousand pieces of gold."
Zhao Hanzhang thought about it and said, "We had secretly transported my grandfather's books back to Xiping, but my uncle still left many books in Luoyang, but there seems to be no music scores in them."
Before Zhao Zhongyu went to Yuncheng with the emperor, he was prepared to never return, so he didn't take any of the books at home. He just brought some books that he would use frequently, and left the rest in Luoyang.
Zhao Yi took some of his sisters back to Xiping, and the rest are still in Zhao's house.
Zhao Hanzhang seldom visited the collection of books, but Fu Tinghan read more.
Ji Yuan said: "Look for it. If you don't have it, you can ask someone for it."
With so many remnants of aristocratic families in Luoyang, someone must have good music scores.
Zhao Hanzhang asked Tinghe to find him.
Fu Tinghan heard about it when he came back from get off work in the evening and said directly: "There is no music score in the books on the bookshelf."
Zhao Hanzhang: "Have you read it all?"
Fu Tinghan nodded.
Zhao Hanzhang pondered, "Actually, there is another way."
Fu Tinghan looked at her, "Write a song yourself?"
Zhao Hanzhang burst out laughing, nodded and said, "Have you forgotten what I did before going to the library?"
She is a music teacher.
Zhao Hanzhang turned to Tinghe, who was dazzled by the music score, and said, "Go get my uncle's piano."
Tinghe immediately agreed happily and ran to hug Qin.
Zhao Hanzhang sat in front of the desk, picked the strings and said: "When I was studying, I liked a piece of music very much. It was a piece from "The Swordsman"."
Fu Tinghan: ""A Laugh in the Sea"? Isn't this piece suitable for Liu Kun?"
Zhao Hanzhang smiled and shook his head and said: "It's the mainland version of "Swordsman", called "Heaven and Earth Cooperate". This song is very suitable for Liu Kun and Zu Ti."
She knew how to sing, she remembered the lyrics, and she also remembered the music score. She decided to convert it into piano score, which was not difficult for her.
Zhao Hanzhang picked up the strings and started playing. Fu Tinghan leaned against the door frame and watched her play.
I slept for three days in a row. Although my throat is still dry and itchy, I feel much better. Are you guys okay?
