Wei and Jin cooks

Hu Zhi watched the people loading the car, and the sky was getting dark, so he rang the clock and called it a day.

Everyone stopped what they were doing, packed up their things, and then dragged their tired bodies home. However, their faces were not numb. Instead, they gathered together in twos and threes and invited: "Come to my house for dinner tonight, you guys?" Bring some food over here and we can make a table together."

Most of the people who said this were bachelors, because those who were not bachelors had already hurried home.

Hu Zhi also walked quickly to the village. He entered a brightly lit house. There were many boxes in the yard, and the long-term workers were fixing the goods, making a lot of jingling noises.

Zhao Tong warned while counting the boxes: "Be careful, all the glass packed in boxes must be inspected. This is something for the nobles, and there must be no defects."

"It's fixed, don't let it loosen. The road is long and bumpy. If something breaks on the road and delays the girl..." Zhao Tong stopped when he saw Hu Zhi and asked, "Have you ordered all the goods over there?"

Hu Zhi said: "If everything is ordered, we can set off at dawn."

Zhao Tong nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let the night watchers pay more attention."

Although Hu Zhi didn't think anyone dared to come to Zhao's manor to cause trouble, he still complied.

He glanced at the goods in the courtyard, did not disturb Zhao Tong anymore, but bowed and retreated.

At the same time, many people in Xiping County next door did not rest or even eat dinner.

Hu Jin watched the apprentices wrap the books in oil paper and asked them to put the books in the box. "Put them all carefully. This is going to be sent to the north. There may be snow and water on the way."

The apprentices responded and wrapped them more carefully.

The county government office far away from the bookstore is also brightly lit. The county seat of Runan County is still in Xiping. I don’t know whether it is because of a real lack of money or because Zhao Ming is used to working in the Xiping County government office. He did not build the county governor’s mansion anymore. Now the county governor Both the government and county government offices are crowded in the Xiping County government office.

This put Chang Ning under a lot of pressure, especially when facing Zhao Ming.

At this time, he knelt down and sat opposite Zhao Ming, lowering his head to report the matter.

Zhao Ming picked up the jug, drank by himself, and asked comfortably: "So before Gou Xi returns to Yanzhou, you, the governor, are already planning to do business with him?"

Chang Ning secretly said: That is not only our governor, but also your governor.

His face was serious, he nodded and said: "Yes, the envoy said that this year there are particularly many refugees in Yuzhou, and we are in urgent need of food and cloth. However, Yanzhou is fortunate not to be involved in the war. The New Year is approaching, and everyone is doing well. Fengya, if you send these away, maybe you can exchange them for some things Yuzhou urgently needs."

Zhao Ming sneered: "With those books and glass, how much food and cloth can she exchange for? People in the world are not all fools. It's just one or two. Once there are too many things, who will be willing to exchange them with her? In troubled times, it is still Gold and silver are the most affordable.”

Chang Ning sighed and said, "But I don't know how much wealth the envoy still has. As far as I know, neither the governor's office of Yuzhou nor the governor's office of Runan County seems to have any surplus property."

Zhao Ming said nothing, just lowered his eyes and thought.

But he was not in a hurry. Based on his understanding of Zhao Hanzhang, it was impossible for her to have no countermeasures.

However, she probably doesn't have much money left on her hands. No matter how rich her uncle is, there is no way he can leave her so much gold and silver. Most of the money she has spent during this period is earned from her own industry.

Zhao Ming lightly knocked on his knees and suddenly laughed, "Forget it, tell her that I will contact the relatives and friends I can contact. As long as she can get the gold and silver, I will let them sell it to her at a cheaper price. "

Chang Ning breathed a sigh of relief, bowed and said "yes".

He was so tired. It was clear that the girl's surname was Zhao and they were a family, but in the end he was asked to be the middleman.

But he still wanted to say, "The envoy said that no matter how many people the county governor can convince or how many things he brings out, she can buy it."

Zhao Ming asked with a half-smile: "Gold and silver?"

Although Chang Ning felt guilty, he still said with certainty: "Gold and silver!"

This is not what he said, it was what the girl said, and he just relayed it.

Zhao Ming couldn't help but wonder, where did Zhao Hanzhang get so much money?

Although she smiles playfully all day long and looks bold and bold, she is actually very cautious. She would not dare to make such a promise if she is not sure.

Gou Xi was also thinking about this problem. Zhao Hanzhang's movement was too great. Yuzhou was recovering at a rapid speed, exuding a vitality that was incompatible with this era.

Even though he was still locked in a stalemate with the King of Donghai outside Luoyang, he still paid attention to what was going on in Yuzhou.

News kept coming from Yanzhou, and Gou Xi reported: "Zhao Hanzhang gathered the refugees and appeased the people. Now the whole Yuzhou is united, and the people from the five outer counties have gone to the inner five counties. In time, Zhao Hanzhang will be able to conquer the ten counties."

Yanzhou's counselors divided Yuzhou into five inner and outer prefectures. The inner five prefectures were in the hands of Zhao Hanzhang, and the outer five prefectures were in the hands of Gou Xi.

However, they did not urge Gou Xi to go back. Now their biggest enemy is the King of East China Sea, and they have reached this point. If they do not take the opportunity to kill the King of East China Sea, even if Gou Xi agrees, the group of people under him will not agree.

So they reminded Gou Xi to be careful about Zhao Hanzhang, and said: "Although this son is a girl, he is ambitious and very smart. If he cannot kill him before he gets up, he may become a big trouble in the future."

Urged Gou Xi, "It is important to end the dispute with the King of the East China Sea as soon as possible to win over the people."

Gou Xi also thought about it, but the King of East China Sea still had many remaining soldiers. He was stationed in Luoyang and had the emperor in his hands. There was nothing he could do to him for the time being.

Gou Xi thought of Zhao Hanzhang and felt depressed. She had simply retreated at that time. As soon as the King of Donghai retreated, she also left. Did she already expect today's stalemate?

He opened another letter and read it. It was still a letter reporting Zhao Hanzhang's movements. The letter said that Zhao was purchasing a large amount of grain, cloth and other materials for Zhao Hanzhang, and promised to trade them in gold and silver.

The merchants in Yanzhou took notice of the news and were mobilizing grain and cloth to go to Yuzhou. The staff who wrote the letter suggested that Gou Xi order an order to prevent the flow of materials from Yanzhou.

"If we don't restrain ourselves, I'm afraid that given time, Yanzhou will become a farm slave in Yuzhou."

Gou Xi irritably picked up the letter and threw it aside, "Everyone can only remind them, but they can come up with other good ideas?"

When Gou Chun saw this, he immediately said: "That's why I told you to kill her. My brother is kind and righteous. You are a gentleman, but she is a woman!"

After saying that, he glared at Yan Heng and Ming Yu, feeling that they were the ones hindering him.

Yan Heng didn't say anything, but Ming Yu said: "Zhao Zhongyu is on duty in front of the emperor. If the general has doubts, why not ask your majesty to ask Zhao Shangshu what the Zhao family wants?"

Gou Xi's eyes brightened slightly. How could he have forgotten that Zhao Zhongyu was the clan leader of the Zhao family, so he could start through him.
