   Chapter 156 Recruitment II

Zhao Hanzhang pulled the magistrate of Chai aside and sighed: "Xianjun, I asked when they came to apply for the recruitment, there is no food at home, you can't pay them even if you take them back, since I have already registered here. Make a book, why don't you give it to me and take it away."

  Chai County magistrate looked at her in shock, wondering where she had the cheek to open such a mouth.

   "Don't worry, those who have already registered are not counted. If there are people from Shangcai County coming later, I will definitely not accept them."

   Chai County Magistrate's words were blocked in his throat. After a while, he found the words and asked, "How can Sanniang tell whether they are from Shangcai County? What if they also say that they are from Yingchuan and Hayang?"

   "Listen to the accent, as long as it has a Shang Cai accent, I won't accept it, how?"

  Chai County magistrate got excited and pointed back at those people, "Then they..."

   "Oh, I'm not good at Shang Cai Yin, and Mr. Ji doesn't understand either. I'll find a couple of Shang Cai's stewards in a moment, and I'll definitely not let anyone leak in."

  Chai County magistrate pondered for a moment and said, "You can't put your table here any longer. It's too close to the city gate. All the villages and towns in the county who receive news come here."

   "Then where did you say it was placed?"

  Chai County Magistrate gritted his teeth and said, "Exit and go for sixty miles, stay away."

   That's too far. It takes a long time to go back to the manor, which is inconvenient.

After thinking about it, Zhao Hanzhang said: "How about twenty miles? Xianjun, I have to take people back to the manor to settle down temporarily. I can't let them sleep in the wild, right? When they see that I am so weak, how can they still be willing to do it for me? Effectiveness?"

   She said: "The prefect is still waiting for me to lead troops to rescue. Who will be responsible for the delay in recruiting troops?"

  Chai County magistrate pursed his lips and could only take a step back, "Okay, just go back twenty miles."

   Zhao Hanzhang was satisfied, so he pulled the magistrate of Chai to talk about county affairs, "Your Majesty, did you not let you send troops?"

  Chai County magistrate said helplessly: "I don't have any troops, where can I send troops?"

   "I don't have any soldiers, so I can move now."

The magistrate of Chai County shook his head, glanced at Zhao Hanzhang, and said faintly: "If Xiping hadn't had the Zhao clan, the envoy would not have given military orders, Sanniang, the envoy asked you to lead troops to rescue, but it was not for this temporary move. Three thousand people to save."

   This is to ask the Zhao family to send troops to rescue them, and the 3,000 recruiting order is plainly a compensation for the Zhao family.

   Zhao Hanzhang raised his eyebrows and gave a thumbs up to the magistrate of Chai, "The county magistrate is so powerful, I never thought of that."

   praised the county magistrate Chai, but her eyes passed over him and fell on Chang Ning.

   Chang Ning had been standing quietly, and when she saw her look over, he nodded slightly at her.

   Zhao Hanzhang never thought of this level when he received the recruiting order, so he went back to Shangcai to meet Ji Yuan, and Ji Yuan analyzed it for her.

But this is the plan of the prefect, but they don't have to obey him. In Ji Yuan's words, "You and the Zhao clan are not easy to cultivate, and they have all gone through battles. They are very good fighting strength, and it is not worth it to lose in Qiyang. ."

He also added: "Young girl can't think of this, Zhao Ming can definitely think of it, but he didn't say anything, obviously he didn't want to use his family's episodes to rescue Haoyang, it's best to use new recruits to go to Haoyang after recruiting and buying horses. ."

"However, you don't have to work too hard even when you go to Qiyang. This time, the prefect must not only summon Xiping County, but also other counties. Compared with other counties, Xiping County is special because of the Zhao family. "

  Ji Yuan said: "There is iron ore in Yangyang, let them take the lead."

  Although Zhao Hanzhang is also greedy for iron ore, he also knows that this thing will not fall into her hands in a short time, so he should go.

   So she recruited troops slowly, without the urgency of receiving an emergency order.

  She recruited soldiers in Shangcai County for three days. No one knew how many people they recruited. Anyway, in the end, she brought 2,000 people back to Xiping, and the rest were left in the manor and handed over to Ji Yuan to arrange.

   Even the magistrate of Chai County couldn't help but feel sad, "Chang Ning, do you really think that the Zhao family will not rebel?"

   This time Chang Ning didn't answer him.

  Chai County magistrate was even more worried.

   Zhao Hanzhang returned to Xiping, and Zhao Ju also came back from Pingyu. He also brought back more than 2,000 people. Zhao Ming probably guessed that they were not short of manpower, so he barely recruited 1,000 people.

   And these thousand people are not from Xiping County, but from various villages and towns under Xiping County and from other places.

   This time, there were more people, so Zhao Hanzhang disrupted the more than 5,000 people, and selected 3,000 suitable soldiers to serve as soldiers.

  Anyway, Xiping County is very short of people right now, and the empty wasteland can be reclaimed to grow winter wheat, and paper mills can also be built together.

  The messenger whose freedom has been restricted finally saw Zhao Hanzhang again, and immediately rushed forward and asked, "Ms. Zhao, when are we going to Yangyang? Yangyang has been trapped for a long time, waiting for you to rescue him."

   Zhao Hanzhang said: "Go tomorrow."

The    messenger didn't expect Zhao Hanzhang to be so refreshing, he breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face, "Then I'll walk with Sanniang tomorrow."

   Zhao Hanzhang nodded perfunctorily and turned to see Fu Tinghan and Zhao Ming after dealing with them.

   Zhao Ming stayed in the county office for the past three days, making the county office a bit more lively than usual.

   In Fu Tinghan's words, "Everyone will see if Uncle Ming pulls you down and successfully controls Xiping County."

   Zhao Hanzhang: "Then didn't they come back disappointed?"

Fu Tinghan nodded, "Very disappointed, Uncle Ming told them directly that he was entrusted by you to temporarily manage county affairs, so he persuaded Uncle Ming instead, thinking that Xiping County should be presided over by him, that's just right. ."

  Fu Tinghan: "It seems that you are not very popular with the people."

   Zhao Hanzhang said indifferently, "I'm very sad. I'll talk to them when I come back from Yangyang."

Compared with these trivial things, what she cares more about is, "I gave you the roster, most of them are my slaves, only a few are good ones, you arrange them, Let them cultivate the official fields and grow some winter wheat this year, and we will raise a lot of people next year."

   "Why did you suddenly accept so many servants?" Fu Tinghan was puzzled, "Is the good record bad?"

   Zhao Hanzhang sighed and said, "Taxes are getting heavier every year, and there are natural and man-made disasters. Even if they have land, it is difficult for them to survive, so they don't want to keep their good records."

   "Then they cultivate the official land, how will the tax be calculated in the future?"

   Zhao Hanzhang: "It doesn't matter, it's all mine. If it's a separate book, it's considered a hidden household."

   "...that Guantian?"

   Zhao Hanzhang said: "Prioritize the arrangement of the people in the county, and the rest are my hidden households."

  Fu Tinghan didn't quite understand, "You used to be more inclined to provide a safe environment and let them develop freely. Why are you thinking about being so many hidden households now? Are you planning to take all the resources into your own hands and redistribute them?"

Zhao Hanzhang nodded unobtrusively, she didn't expect Fu Tinghan to be so sensitive, and immediately noticed, "I ignored the environmental factors, in the next many years, the north will not only be in chaos due to wars and other man-made disasters, but also natural disasters. In troubled times, I want to have as many resources as possible in the early stage, so that the situation can be stabilized later.”

   "But in this way, it is easy to cause backlash. Once someone opposes you, it may cause a prairie fire."

Zhao Hanzhang: "That's why I'm talking about making booklets privately, and I count these people as my hidden households. They are both my hidden households and my part. As long as the armed force in my hand is strong enough, whoever can help me can do anything. ?"

"Oh, let's not provoke such a big force as the Jin family. I said that it is limited to the area of ​​Runan County." So to the court, when it is time to be respectful, you should still be respectful. Zhao Hanzhang decided to go to Hayang this time to be respectful. some time.

   I have stomach discomfort today, there are only two shifts, try to make up for it tomorrow
