Wei and Jin cooks

"Well, I died of illness two years ago. Even if I didn't die of illness, in this world, I might have been killed by the rebel army or starved to death at any time. Death of illness is not bad, and I didn't suffer much."

Zhao Hanzhang was pricked, and I have to say that this conclusion made her, the chief minister of Runan County, very ashamed.

She sighed: "I wonder if the princes in the court will be ashamed when they hear this?"

Zhao Hanzhang didn't know whether they were ashamed or not, but she was quite ashamed anyway, and the deeper she went, the more ashamed she became. Even Fu Tinghan, who had always been taciturn, couldn't help but say: "The officials of the Jin Dynasty are really idlers."

Zhao Hanzhang:......

Magistrate Gao:...

Magistrate Gao was about to cry.

Wu Erlang, who was following them, heard Fu Tinghan's straightforward words and looked at him with starry eyes.

Seeing that Fu Tinghan's face was solemn and that no one among the people accompanying him agreed with him, Wu Erlang finally couldn't help but said: "Master Lang is right, they are all dead weight!"

In order to express his indignation and contempt, he also said "ah".

Zhao Hanzhang and County Magistrate Gao:...

Fu Tinghan finally reacted and turned to look at Zhao Hanzhang, "Of course you are not among them."

Wu Erlang was puzzled for a while until they entered Suiping County, and then went straight to the county government office. Zhao Hanzhang sat in the main hall of the county government office.

Magistrate Gao, who had been following Zhao Hanzhang, turned around and told the government officials, "Quickly call the county magistrate and the chief registrar to come and see Zhao Juncheng."

The Yamen servant agreed and trotted to invite someone.

Wu Erlang opened his mouth wide.

They passed many villages along the way and had a preliminary understanding of the people's sentiments. They then looked at various account books and data in Suiping County, and their understanding became deeper.

Zhao Hanzhang felt that the people of Suiping County had reached a critical point. At this time, they were just waiting numbly. They might pass this point silently like before; or they might, like the people of Aoyang County, detonate in an instant. That point is directly the opposite.

Zhao Hanzhang stretched out his hand to rub his forehead and asked: "How is the situation of the grain stores, wealthy households and merchants in the county?"

Magistrate Gao replied thoughtfully: "I still have some savings, but..."

He glanced at Zhao Hanzhang quietly and whispered: "The Yamen can't requisition their property, right?"

Zhao Hanzhang raised his eyelids and glanced at him, "Who said I was going to expropriate their property?"

Now that she can't even win over civilians, why should she offend these people?

As long as they obey the law, they are all her people, and she still loves them very much.

Zhao Hanzhang, who loved them very much, decided to do business with them and wrote a letter directly to Qiu Wu, asking him to find someone to send back to Xiping. "Ask Mr. Ji to send a batch of money for Suiping County to use."

Magistrate Gao's eyes lit up.

Zhao Hanzhang sighed with him and said: "Zifan, although the people of Suiping have been in hardship along the way, they have no complaints against you. I know that you are a good official. There are not many people I can help you with. I hope we can Working together, at least the people can survive."

County Magistrate Gao, who has a great reputation and a courtesy name Zifan, looked back at Zhao Hanzhang with tears in his eyes. He was so moved that the young man in his twenties shed tears as if he didn't want money. "I knew that the girl was kind-hearted." , I will not sit back and watch the people suffer, don’t worry, I will do my best to prevent Suiping from losing his people."

In this Jin Dynasty, where a large number of refugees are born every day, this promise is considered very important. Zhao Hanzhang also looked at him with a moved face, "Okay! Let's encourage each other!"

Fu Tinghan on the side:...

He twitched his lips, looked away, and turned to the side to see Wu Erlang, who was already sluggish. He simply walked to him, patted his shoulder and said, "Let's go, go down and settle down first."

Tinghe took the initiative to take him.

In her opinion, the four uncles and nephews Wu Erlang were all servants bought by the girl, so they were naturally the same as her.

Zhao Hanzhang did not live in the county government office, but lived in an inn a street away. She took the people directly to the inn. Seeing that they were still wearing the same dirty clothes, she took out two strings of money and gave them to him, "Go and I’ll buy you two pairs of clothes, shoes and socks, and get your things together. Wash yourself up today, and you’ll be here tomorrow to follow your orders.”

Wu Erlang finally remembered and asked, "I, our master is...juncheng?"

"good."

Wu Erlang was dumbfounded, "Did I see it wrong all this time? That's not a girl, but a man?"

But the sound doesn't sound like it either.

Tinghe glanced at him and said, "Our master is the girl, what happened to the girl?"

She said: "Our family is run by a girl. Haven't you heard before that the Lord of Xiping County is a girl!"

"But that's the county prince..." Wu Erlang's eyes widened, "So our girl is the county prince of Xiping County?"

Tinghe nodded, raised his chin slightly and said proudly: "Now he is the county magistrate."

Wu Erlang covered his chest, his eyes sparkling, "If I had known it was her, I wouldn't have lied to those two sesame seed cakes."

Tinghe couldn't help but glance at him again.

Wu Erlang suddenly woke up, took the money, and immediately dragged his three nieces and nephews out to buy clothes.

He didn't buy expensive ones, but he didn't buy very cheap ones either. Instead, he bought decent gray linen clothes. The linen was a little better than the coarse linen they usually wore.

But he chose the shoes carefully, especially the shoes for him and Da Zhuang. He bought good shoes, "You are not young yet. You can run errands for the master. If you need good shoes, Er Zhuang and Third Aunt can wear casual clothes." That’s it.”

Da Zhuang nodded in agreement.

Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan officially settled in Suiping County. Fu Tinghan was sorting out the data of Suiping County in the household room, while Zhao Hanzhang met with the wealthy households, gentry and grain merchants in the county under the recommendation of Magistrate Gao.

Zhao Hanzhang bought grain directly from them. Some were willing to sell it to her, while others were hesitant and refused to sell it. After all, the rich and gentry were not grain merchants. In this world, they preferred to hold the grain in their hands.

Zhao Hanzhang advised them, "The autumn harvest is coming, and your fields will produce more by then. What's the use of storing this grain now?"

She smiled and said: "We cultivate the fields, in addition to wanting to obtain food, we also want to exchange it for other good things. We are not food-deficient people and already have enough food and clothing. Why not exchange it for other things so that we can How about living a more comfortable and elegant life?"

Zhao Hanzhang said that she was willing to exchange paper, books, glass and other items for food.

At this time, the rich and gentry nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Zhao Hanzhang's lips curled up slightly, and he immediately confirmed the transaction amount with them.

So each family went back to prepare food.

Zhao Hanzhang asked County Magistrate Gao to inform every village to come to the county government for a meeting, "When they arrive, we will confirm the relief food for every mile. It may not be a lot, but it should be able to get them through this difficult time."

Magistrate Gao was deeply moved and said, "I will send my official thanks to the county magistrate on behalf of the people of Suiping County."
