   Chapter 167 Winning

Like Zhao Changyu's Zhao Hanzhang, Inspector He pondered, his gaze swept across Zhang Taishou who was sitting at the lower right, smiled slightly, and asked, "Look at your martial arts today, Xiping County was taken back from the rebel army by you. ?"

   Zhao Hanzhang was no longer modest this time, nodded and replied, "Yes."

   Inspector He smiled and said, "If you have the style of your ancestors, you deserve to be a child taught by Zhao Zhongshu."

   Zhao Hanzhang bowed slightly and accepted his compliment.

   Zhao Hanzhang was very different from the one he saw yesterday, and everyone fell silent.

  Prefect Zhang felt particularly deep. At this moment, he felt hot on his face, and he only felt that Zhao Hanzhang was not sure how to laugh at him in his heart.

   After all, he had looked down on her from yesterday to today, turning a blind eye to her suggestion, but she accepted it with a smile.

   At that moment, including this moment, did she laugh at him in her heart?

   Prefect Zhang clenched the wine glass in his hand, his face a little unsightly.

   Governor He saw this, and his heart was relieved.

  Although he wasn't too happy with Zhao Changyu's granddaughter, he felt a little more at ease if it made Prefect Zhang even more unhappy.

   Moreover, in the long run, the stability of Xi'an is more important to him. Since the Zhao family let Zhao Hanzhang be the master, and brought 3,000 troops to help this time, it means that they support Zhao Hanzhang.

   Selecting another county magistrate will only make Xiping unrest, which is not good for Runan County or Yuzhou.

   Inspector He weighed in his heart, and had already thought about the situation in Yuzhou in the next few years, but these thoughts flashed only for a moment, and he did not pause for a long time.

Inspector He changed his attitude and told Zhao Hanzhang in the attitude of treating his subordinates: "Xiping is close to Shangcai and Yangyang, and is the most important passage from the northwest to the south. This time, Yuzhou was unprepared, and the Hun rebels flowed from Yingchuan to the Runan, this time to drive away the Xiongnu army, the road from Luoyang to Runan must be strictly guarded, and your position in Xiping is extremely important."

   Zhao Hanzhang immediately said: "Yes, Hanzhang will take good care of Xiping and prevent the rebel army from crossing from Xiping to the south."

   At this point, the matter of Zhao Hanzhang being the "mayor" of Xiping County is considered to be on the right track.

   and the court please seal, it is impossible to officially issue an official document, but the governor of Yuzhou recognized Zhao Hanzhang and no longer finds a magistrate for Xiping, then she is no different from the real magistrate.

  The imperial court, the imperial court would not think about managing a small Xiping county.

   Now they have enough to do.

   In fact, Governor He didn't value Xiping County very much. He valued the Zhao clan in Xiping more. Also, the prefectures and counties under his jurisdiction could be stable one by one.

   His prefect is actually not so secure.

   He and Zhang Taishou were rivals before, and both of them were the Taishou. In the end, the imperial court mainly considered the two of them when choosing the prefect of Yuzhou.

   In the end, Inspector He won because he sent a large amount of gold and silver jewelry and a batch of armaments to the King of the East China Sea and the people around him.

  This time he was besieged in Xianyang, and the order to ask for help had already been issued, but the counties and counties never came to help.

  Xiping County is excusable, after all, its city is broken, but what about other counties?

   To know that the battlefield is changing rapidly, he issued the most urgent order for help. It is said that after receiving the order, they should rectify the army day and night and rush over to ask for help.

   As a result, it took more than half a month for them to arrive in Yangyang one after another. After arriving, they did not contain the enemy, but instead camped outside for three days. Does this seem like they are here to rescue?

  He has been holding a breath in his chest, but he knows that he can't get angry at this time. Before he has absolute strength, he can only seek stability.

   Zhao Hanzhang and the Zhao family were the first security he looked for.

  Because he had seen her bravery on the battlefield, Inspector He was very confident in her, and even more confident in the Zhao family. After all, in the whole Yuzhou, there are few companies that can compare with the Zhao family.

   Therefore, Governor He treated her very favorably, not only gave her two dishes, but also deliberately left people to talk after the meeting, like a leader looking for a confidant to open a small stove and trust him.

   Zhao Hanzhang was also very happy to stay.

   Inspector He only mentioned Zhao Changyu a little, and then focused on his friendship with Zhao Song.

   He doesn't like Zhao Changyu very much. Whenever he goes against him, he is the one who suffers. He prefers Zhao Song, who is chivalrous but gentle.

  The interests of the Zhao family and him are mostly handled by Zhao Song, such as Tie.

   Inspector He talked about the order that Zhao Song and his housekeeper had placed some time ago, and asked, "Do you want to do armaments?"

   Of course, Zhao Hanzhang couldn't say yes, but bowed slightly and said, "It's to make farm tools."

  He Inspector raised his eyebrows in disbelief.

   Zhao Hanzhang then explained: "You don't know, Runan County has had a hard time in the past two years. Many tenants and long-term workers fled away. They took all the farm tools with them when they left."

"This time I came back to my hometown to find out that there are many fields in my home that have been abandoned, and I can't help but feel sad, so I want to send someone to plant these fields." To plant the land, you need agricultural tools, Zhao Hanzhang said: "There is a huge shortage of agricultural tools in the manor. And the iron wares in the blacksmith shop in the county town are extremely expensive, and they are all bought there, so they can’t help but feel shy, so Hanzhang asked the fifth uncle to help buy some iron ware.”

  Whether He believed it or not, he agreed with this reason anyway. In today's troubled times, he can understand that the gentry hoarded iron weapons and recruited manpower to guard against it, but there must be a limit to everything.

   Inspector He left Zhao Hanzhang to talk about this limit.

   "What do you plan to do with the three thousand soldiers and horses recruited by Xiping County this time?"

Zhao Hanzhang knew that the main play was coming, she straightened her back, and replied respectfully: "This time Xiping broke the city with heavy casualties, I want to return to Xiping and distribute some of their official land, so that they can live and work in peace and contentment in Xiping County, otherwise we will Xiping County is going to be too depressed."

   Inspector He nodded slightly, stroked his beard and said, "It's a good way to make the people live in the fields. When you come back, you can hand over the Xiping roster, and I'll take a look at the damage."

   Zhao Hanzhang responded and took advantage of the situation to bring up the matter of exempting the autumn tax.

   Inspector He pondered for a moment, and finally nodded in order to win over Zhao Hanzhang, "Alright, Xiping was in great trouble, and the autumn tax this year will be exempted."

   Zhao Hanzhang breathed a sigh of relief and said happily: "Hanzhang thanked the envoy for the people of Xiping."

   Inspector He looked at Zhao Hanzhang, who was still young, and smiled slightly. He was a smart boy, but he was still different from a fox like Zhao Ming, at most he could only be a little fox.

   Inspector He was in a better mood, and said to Zhao Hanzhang, "Say hello to your fifth uncle when you go back. If you have time, let him go to Shouchun to play, and I will greet you by sweeping the couch."

  The prefecture of Yuzhou is in Shouchun, which is pitiful to say. After receiving the appointment letter from the imperial court, He was blocked in Yangyang, and he had not had time to go to Shouchun to take office.

  If he really died in Yangyang this time, the next governor would probably be Prefect Zhang.

   It's no wonder that he would win over her, Zhao Hanzhang responded with a smile, saying that he would definitely convey it.
