   Chapter 180 Pulled into the water

When Zhao Hanzhang came over, Zhao Song had just finished his breakfast, and when he saw her, he immediately laughed, "I said that you are coming today, and your uncle already told me last night that you won the battle in Hayang, Xiping County's It's over the road."

   He turned his head and instructed his servants, "Go and invite Lao Liu and Lao Qi."

   The next person left in response.

   Zhao Hanzhang saluted with a smile and sat down, "The fifth uncle still loves me, and I'm about to meet some elders."

  The Zhao clan is the largest clan in Xiping County, and has many in-laws. If the release of a policy can get their support, it will be much easier to do after that.

   So when the elders of the clan arrive, she will first mention the exemption of the autumn tax this year.

   Hearing this kind of good news, the elders all softened their expressions and asked gently, "Has the governor agreed to this?"

   Zhao Hanzhang nodded, "We only went through the war in Xiping, so this is the preferential treatment given to us by the governor."

   Those present, except the really stupid, who would believe otherwise.

   In the past few years, there have been rebels and wars in Runan County, and the damage has been equally serious, but the taxes that should be paid still have to be paid, and the military expenditure that will be increased has not been reduced at all.

   So they all know that Zhao Hanzhang fought hard for Xiping County to get this result.

  Everyone is very satisfied, and it seems that it is not bad for the clan to be the magistrate of Xiping County.

  Before the war, all the families suffered heavy losses. Those who died in action needed to be compensated, and the dock had to be repaired.

   Zhao Hanzhang just mentioned another matter. There will be some changes in the taxation next year, and they will discuss the details at that time.

   Hearing that Zhao Hanzhang wanted to set up two sets of account books, the elders looked at each other, and then looked at Zhao Song in unison.

   Zhao Song's heart skipped a beat, and his son's original advice came out again, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at Zhao Ming, who had been sitting silently.

   Zhao Ming knew about this long ago. He was still watching Fu Tinghan calculate the grade. Seeing his father looking at him, he nodded slightly.

   Sixth Uncle said cautiously: "Then this second set of account books is in the hands of Sanniang, and the benefits are also considered by Sanniang. What are you doing with so many people and food?"

"Protect Xiping County, protect Wubao," Zhao Hanzhang said directly, without hiding anything, "Your Majesty can't be in power now, the prince who is in power changes every once in a while, and the government is chaotic. Uncles, they are doing the best of the whole country. Fight for power.”

   "They don't have to care about the lives of local people, and we can't control the outside world, but we always have to ensure that we are alive, our family members are alive, and our relatives and friends are alive."

   While most of Zhao's relatives and friends are located in Yuzhou, the resources left by this second set of accounts are to protect Xiping, Runan, and even Yuzhou.

   Several elders looked at the rebellious Zhao Hanzhang and were speechless for a long time.

The elders were entangled and didn't say anything for a while, but Zhao Hu slapped his thigh and said: "Right, we can't send everything to Luoyang, they don't care if we live or die, we have to think about ourselves, fifth brother, just follow what Sanniang said. Do, I have long wanted to say that, even if the eldest brother is pedantic, this is not allowed, and that is not allowed."

   Zhao Hao scolded him irritably, "Shut up!"

   Zhao Hu closed his mouth unwillingly.

   Zhao Song lowered his head and thought for a moment, then asked her, "When did you have such an idea, does your grandfather know?"

   Zhao Hanzhang said: "It's just after the relief of the siege of the Fortress."

She said: "This time I went to see the governor in Haoyang, not only to understand the troubles of the governor, but I also wanted to ask the governor for his advice. The Huns marched south, and Yuzhou bore the brunt. The Shangcai checkpoint was important, and after the Shangcai, Xiping came. Clan is famous in Yuzhou, and the Xiongnu army is famous for looting property, they will definitely come to our Zhao Clan Fortress."

  The elders nodded slightly and asked, "What did the Governor He say?"

Zhao Hanzhang took a deep sigh and said: "The reinforcements who went to relieve the difficulties this time totaled more than 20,000 people. After the war, He Zhishi only sent five carts of food, and then there was no more. When I came back, He The prefect is already urging the army to leave, but the soldiers have run out of food and grass, and they don't even have food and grass for the journey."

  Everyone fell silent. She didn't say how the Governor He was going to solve the problems between Xiping and Zhao, but she seemed to have said everything.

   He was not willing to give a full meal to the governor who went to aid the army. Would he be willing to give money to protect Xiping and Zhao?

   Not to mention that they are self-sufficient, that is simply impossible, the court can't wait to scavenge all the resources of the people, to fight for the position above, to protect themselves.

  Everyone was shaken and kept looking at Zhao Song.

   This exceeds Zhao Song's moral standard. Isn't this just digging a corner of the country?

   Zhao Ming, who had been silent for a long time, said quietly: "Father, this is not only to protect the Zhao family, but also to protect the people of Xiping. Xiping County is not only for our surnamed Zhao."

   Zhao Hao thought it was true, so he felt a little better and reluctantly agreed to this matter.

   Zhao Hanzhang breathed a sigh of relief, Zhao Song let go, then even if the Zhao family passed, the other families would not be a problem.

After the business was finished, Zhao Hanzhang took a sip of water, remembered something, and turned to look at Zhao Hu, "Seventh Uncle, you have to make up for the taxes you owed to the county government, Hanzhang is very poor now, you have to help me. "

   Zhao Hu was stunned and almost jumped, "When did I owe the county government tax?"

   He stared and shouted without hesitation: "You want to check the hidden household? Well, you, Zhao Sanniang, I will speak for you. You are hidden yourself, so just turn around and check my hidden household?"

   Zhao Hao coughed heavily and shouted in warning, "Elder Seven!"

Zhao Hanzhang said speechlessly: "Seventh Uncle, when did I say that I want to check your hidden household? What I want is the tax that should be in the account book of the county government. I have checked it, and you paid less every year. Last year Especially a lot."

   Zhao Hao asked quietly, "Lao Qi, did you transfer the open account of your family to the secret account?"

   Zhao Hu thought hard, did he really make a mistake?

   "I'll go back and have someone check," Zhao Hu said after a pause: "The county magistrate Fan is dead, and the account of the death is gone, you still ask me to take the account..."

   Zhao Hanzhang said quietly: "Seventh Uncle, that account is not from the Fan County magistrate, but from the Xiping County Government Office. I am now the new magistrate magistrate."

   The others also said busyly: "Yes, Seventh, you can give it to her. Now Sanniang is also difficult, so many people have to be raised."

   "Give it to her, give it to her, you have kept all the hidden households for you, and I haven't dug into your bottom line. She is a child. If you don't find a big head first, those people in the county town in the back will not be able to take care of her."

   Zhao Hanzhang nodded in agreement, "It's still the eleventh uncle who is transparent."

   Zhao Hu: "Co-author, you take me as the chicken you kill the chickens and show the monkeys."

   Zhao Hanzhang: "That must not be the case. Judging from the amount you owe Seventh Uncle, you are not a chicken, you must be the monkey."

   Zhao Song turned to train her again, "Cuz narrow, how can you talk to the elders like this?"

   Zhao Hanzhang quickly and obediently admitted his mistake, the atmosphere relaxed and everyone laughed.
