   Chapter 271 Pulling the Flag

   After reading the letter, Zhao Hanzhang reacted, "Uncle Ming, why didn't you tell me such important information?"

   Zhao Ming: "Will you send troops?"

   "Uh, no."

   "Isn't that alright?" Zhao Ming said: "This is the only important piece of news, and you have already done so without reminding you. What does it matter if you read the letter or not?"

   Zhao Hanzhang actually thought that what he said was reasonable.

   Zhao Ming asked: "The summer harvest is coming to an end, should you prepare for things like planting beans?"

He said: "Since this matter has nothing to do with us, it's okay to watch the excitement from the sidelines, but you should focus more on the county affairs of Xiping and Shangcai, persuade Nongsang and train soldiers, you have nothing to do. ?"

   "How can it be irrelevant? The general trend of the world affects everyone," Zhao Hanzhang said with a worried look: "I am not afraid of the war between the King of the East Sea and Gou Xi now, but I am afraid that Liu Yuan will take advantage of it to enter."

   Zhao Ming fell silent, obviously he was also worried about this.

   It seems that people like them can think of the problem, and the ministers in the court seem to be blind. Except for some people who are still trying their best to persuade the two to make peace, the rest of them all stand on the sidelines.

   Liu Yuan, who was sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, felt that he could come out as a fisherman, so he let his son Liu Cong, his beloved generals Shi Le and Wang Mi and others lead the army south.

Before the news of    reached Yuzhou for a while, Liu Kun's people tried their best to report to Luoyang, asking the King of the East Sea to stop fighting, stop fighting.

   Of course, Zhao Hanzhang didn't know it at this time.

  Although she felt that the general trend of the world had something to do with her, Zhao Ming didn’t think so, so he rushed people to the field to persuade Nongsang to teach her.

   Zhao Hanzhang squatted on the edge of the field wearing a big straw hat, sighed deeply, and sighed again...

  Chen San, who was pulling the plow in front of her, stopped, hesitated and asked, "What is the girl worried about?"

   Wu Erlang, the long-time worker who pulled the plow with Chen San, also pricked up his ears.

   "It doesn't rain. It hasn't rained for half a month since I received it in the summer, right?" Zhao Hanzhang said: "The water in the ditch is going to bottom."

Chen San didn't care much, but smiled and said, "Don't worry, girl, the weather has been like this for the past few years, there have been droughts and floods, but they are all minor disasters. This year has been a good year. There is a lot of wheat harvested in summer, and the beans are drought tolerant. Just plant the next two rains."

   He was optimistic, "Not to mention we still have ditches."

   What is the use of this ditch?

  Although they dug ditches all winter, the water conservancy engineering facilities in the county are still very poor, and the water storage and irrigation rate are not high.

   But her tenants and long-term workers are so confident, Zhao Hanzhang naturally won't hit them, she also grinned and nodded fiercely: "You are right, we still have ditches."

   She glanced at the field they plowed and pointed, "It's too shallow to hold down the weeds, so it has to be deeper."

  Chen San and Wu Erlang looked down at the soil they plowed, responded in frustration, and pulled the plow to continue plowing.

   Zhao Hanzhang squatted aside and watched, the matter of the East Sea King and Gou Xi was still too far away, and the most urgent task was to find a way to buy more cattle.

   Relying on manpower to pull the plough to cultivate the land is not only laborious, but also labor-intensive.

   But there are only so many cows in the world, and they can't change it for a while. It seems that she has to find a way to encourage the raising of calves.

  Cow farm...

   Zhao Hanzhang thought about it and went to the outskirts of the county to see the horse farm.

   Zhao Hanzhang's horse farm has been in operation for half a year and is now quite large.

  Wei Matou led people to plant a lot of grass at the beginning of the spring, and the grass grew fast. Not only did Jiyuan bring a lot of foals, Zhao Ming also helped to buy some foals.

   At this time, there are 368 horses in the horse farm, which is quite a large horse farm.

   You can form 150 cavalry.

  Weimatou is very proud and feels that he has reached the peak of his life, but will Zhao Hanzhang be satisfied?

  The cavalry of the Xiongnu and Xianbei people all start in the thousands, okay? There are only a few hundred of them, so what is there to be proud of?

   But as important as military training is people's livelihood.

   Zhao Hanzhang asked Wei Matou, "Do you know how to raise cattle?"

  Weimatou had a bad intuition, and before he had time to answer, Zhao Hanzhang had already said, "I want someone to follow you to learn how to raise cattle."

  Weimatou: "...Xianjun, I am Matou and I raise horses."

   "This is too limited," Zhao Hanzhang said: "Being a human being, you have to take a long-term view. These cows and horses are not much different. They are both livestock, and many problems are common."

Wei Ma opened his mouth and wanted to refuse directly, but Zhao Hanzhang had already said: "I have decided to set up a Tai Servant in the county, just like the Si Nong Institute and Hu Fang, and it will be the permanent official of the county government, you will be mine. How's your majesty?"

   Wei Ma blushed, a little excited, but also a little disbelieving, "Then, does that little one have a grade?"

   Zhao Hanzhang said: "Nine products!"

  Weimatou's eyes brightened, and he agreed, "Okay, I agree."

Zhao Hanzhang slapped his thigh, "Refreshing! That's settled then, since you have become my servant, you can train your subordinates well, how to treat horses, how to care for horses, and how to treat horses, systematically summarize, Train a few more people, and I'll let them raise cattle later."

   This is to ask him to take out his housekeeping skills, but what if he taught his apprentice, his master starved to death?

   "I'll find some doctors for you later, and you can communicate with them."

   Wei Ma was taken aback and asked, "What should I communicate with the doctor?"

   "Communication and healing. These horses and cows are just like people. If they gather too much, they will easily get sick. There are similarities in this. You can communicate with each other."

   Wei Matou's alertness was dissipated, "...The doctor who manages people is willing to communicate with us in the management of livestock?"

   Zhao Hanzhang said: "I have money."

   After a pause, she added: "I still have the right."

   "I've decided to set up a medical clinic in the county government office, so that all departments of the county government office can communicate with each other."

   Wei Matou's excited heart was cold, and he couldn't help asking: "Xianjun, if you want to establish this and that, can the imperial court agree?"

   "That's for sure," Zhao Hanzhang said, "Do you know who my uncle is?"

   "I know, it's a ministerial order."

Zhao Hanzhang didn't expect that he really knew, but she was even happier, she smiled and said: "Exactly, Shang Shuling, the Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Industry, and other departments are all under the control of Shang Shuling, I am only in our county. Open a small department, can my uncle and grandfather agree?"

  Weimatou felt that what she said was reasonable. He didn't know how big the official was, but if he could manage so many departments in front of the emperor, he must be a huge official.

   And Zhao Hanzhang just wanted to get two small departments in a small county and add two small ninth-rank officials, can he still agree?

  So Wei Matou's heart became hot again, he nodded after thinking for a while, "Okay, I'll teach you."

Zhao Hanzhang laughed, patted his shoulder vigorously and said, "Don't worry, Lao Wei, as long as you don't violate the laws of Xiping County, no matter how much you teach, no matter how good your apprentice, I won't make you hungry. dead."

   Wei Ma had a black line on his face, "Xianjun, I'm not worried about this." Even if he really has this intention, he can't let the lord know.
