"Alimony?" Zhao Hanzhang was so frightened that he sat upright and asked, "How much is it?"
Fu Tinghan: "One million dollars a year."
Zhao Hanzhang was stunned, there were so many, she didn't seem to have that much money. Even if she could cast copper coins by herself, the money would belong to the public, and she really didn't have much in her private treasury.
Moreover, she cannot cast as many copper coins as she wants. Not to mention that the amount of casting needs to be calculated. To make money, it is necessary to mine, smelt copper, and then cast. The required processes are complicated and the time span is also long.
But if Fu Zhi wants alimony at this time, it must be more than just alimony.
Zhao Hanzhang's mind changed, and Fu Tinghan said without waiting for her to ask: "If you don't have money, you can use things to offset it."
Zhao Hanzhang breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What does he want?"
Fu Tinghan said: "glazed mirror, food and weapons."
Glazed mirrors are a popular item nowadays. Their value and circulation are similar to those of silk and satin, and they can be quickly converted into cash.
Not to mention food and weapons, Fu Zhi also had to raise troops.
One million dollars is not much in exchange for these things. Zhao Hanzhang didn't have the money, but he still had these things.
She said: "Except for food, the other two items are fine."
Fu Tinghan: "Aren't you afraid that he will use weapons to attack us?"
Zhao Hanzhang: "I believe that as long as I don't send troops to Emperor Jin, Grandfather Fu will not send troops to me, and I believe in myself, I will not send troops to Emperor Jin."
Fu Tinghan nodded, and then went to tell Fu Zhi that he had paid the alimony, and the food part could be exchanged for other weapons and glazed mirrors.
Fu Zhi looked at him complicatedly and said, "When you return, have someone send you to Chang'an within a month."
Fu Tinghan responded.
Fu Zhi said: "Your mother is the princess of the Jin Dynasty, Emperor Hui is your maternal ancestor, and now your maternal uncle. She will definitely not accept your way. Have you thought about it, do you really not change your way?
"
Fu Tinghan pursed his lips, shook his head firmly and said, "I won't change."
Fu Zhi sighed, waved his hand tiredly and said, "Go ahead."
Fu Tinghan glanced at him worriedly, bowed his hands and stepped back.
Looking at his upright back, Fu Zhi finally turned around and said to Chang Sui: "Send a message to Shihong and tell him that the Central Plains is not stable. If you can still persist in Shu, then stay in Shu. If you really persist,
If you can't stand it any longer, let the couple return to Chang'an."
Chang Sui responded in a low voice and said warmly: "Master Lang still feels sorry for Master Lang."
Fu Zhi's eyes were full of sorrow, "What he said is not wrong. The Jin Dynasty is really unable to bring peace to the world. Even if His Majesty is very talented and has few talents, the foundation of the country is crooked and it will be difficult to straighten it out. What's more, the world is now in chaos among the powerful people.
Your Majesty’s talent and virtue still cannot convince the public.”
Even if he is as loyal as Fu Zhi, he has to say that Zhao Hanzhang is still above the emperor in terms of talent, virtue and prestige.
"Forget it, let them go." Since last night, Fu Zhi's heart has been tearing apart, and the two forces are refusing to give in. His reason tells him that what Fu Tinghan said is right, and he should stand in the position of the common people.
thinking; but emotionally, he couldn't accept it.
He couldn't accept Fu Tinghan and Zhao Hanzhang's betrayal of Jin, let alone his own betrayal of Jin.
Fu Zhi was in a bad mood, so he didn't want to keep the guests, and immediately showed his intention to see them off. Although Yang Dan didn't know what happened, he could sense that there might be differences between their ancestors, so he wisely left.
Zhao Hanzhang also honestly said goodbye.
Zhang Ru was unwilling to go back with Yang Dan. She wanted to leave with Zhao Hanzhang, "I also want to be a female general like Governor Zhao."
Yang Dan: "...Girl, you are engaged."
Zhang Ru: "Isn't Governor Zhao also engaged?"
Yang Dan was blocked, his eyes glanced at Zhao Hanzhang who was waiting quietly on one side, gritted his teeth and said: "If you want to be a female general, you can go back to Xiliang. I want the governor to know that Xiliang also needs a female general like General Zhao."
, you will definitely be happy.”
"My father will be happy, but my eldest brother may not be so," Zhang Ru said, "I will stay in the Zhao family army, and I will go back after I have accomplished something great."
Zhang Ru insisted, but Yang Dan was even more insistent and kept persuading, for example, "I will bring you out. If I can't bring you back, I will never see the governor again."
Another example is, "The governor's health has improved, but he will definitely be worried if the girl is not around..."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Ru hesitated.
In front of Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Zhi, Yang Dan could only hint, but Zhang Ru knew that her father's health seemed to be improving, but he was not very optimistic after all. After all, he had a stroke.
Although she can communicate and move around as usual now, it is all superficial. She knows that her father's health is still not as good as before. If her father is worried that she has worsened her condition...
Zhang Ru gritted her teeth, looked at Zhao Hanzhang and then lowered her head.
Zhao Hanzhang stepped forward, pulled her aside and whispered, "Wouldn't it be better to stay in Xiliang? You can not only fulfill your filial piety, but also make progress faster."
Zhang Ru felt a little aggrieved, "I don't want people to criticize me for relying on my family."
"It's different for me. When it's time to rely, I don't shy away from relying on my ancestors and clan," Zhao Hanzhang said: "As long as I can produce corresponding results, or better, these rely on each other for mutual benefit. Except for officials in this world
Apart from fame and fortune, isn’t it true that what you seek most is a wife and a son?”
"You are also the child of Governor Zhang. Your three brothers can rely on their father's power to advance in their careers. Why can't you?" Zhao Hanzhang said: "Since you want to be a female general and advance in your career, don't be afraid.
I have been criticized by many people, and I don’t know how many people in the world have criticized me. Do you feel depressed when you see me?”
Zhang Ru: "Don't you care at all about their insults?"
Zhao Hanzhang said: "Then it depends on what they are scolding. If what they say is meaningful, you will naturally think about it and accept it, and correct it if it is wrong; if it is just because of prejudice and interests, you just think they are farting and look away.
Just don’t listen.”
Zhang Ru couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw that she was using vulgar language, but it was not vulgar. She looked at Zhao Hanzhang with shining eyes, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll note it down."
She hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but ask, "Chief Zhao, can I write to you after I return to Xiliang?"
"Of course." Zhao Hanzhang held her hand, his eyes sparkling, "There are very few women in this world who aspire to be generals. I admire you just for your ambition."
Zhao Hanzhang held her hand tightly and said, "If you still want to come to me in the future, just come. I will always leave a place for you here."
This is Zhang Ru's retreat.
Zhang Ru's eyes were slightly wet. They had only known each other for three days, and they didn't expect Zhao Hanzhang to give her such a promise.
Zhang Ru also shook Zhao Hanzhang's hand, then turned around and left neatly.
Yang Dan breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to Zhao Hanzhang from afar and left with the envoy.
Zhao Hanzhang also said goodbye to Fu Zhi.
Fu Zhi looked at her, his eyes far away, as if he was looking at someone through her. It took him a long time to say: "Sanniang, I hope you will not forget the teachings of your ancestors."
She also knew about the conversation between Fu Tinghan and Fu Zhi that night. Fu Tinghan didn't hide it from her at all, so she understood what Fu Zhi meant. She nodded readily, "Grandpa Fu, don't worry."
She will definitely not take the initiative to destroy Jin. It is difficult for Jin to last long.
