   Chapter 291 Trading

  1000 shi of food is not much, but it is definitely not a lot, even if the family is closed, it will take one night to get it together.

   So Master Guan came home a night later than the others.

  Because Zhao Hanzhang had a tough attitude and held Master Guan in his hand, the Guan family did not dare to bargain with her.

   When Master Guan returned to Guan's house, he was thin and collapsed. It was only three days, but he felt that a lifetime had passed.

   He hated Zhao Hanzhang, but he hated the county magistrate even more. If he hadn't pointed him out, where would Zhao Hanzhang have used him?

   He wiped his face, threw the cloth towel into the basin, and asked, "How is Su County now?"

   Guan Dalang whispered: "It's good, the magistrate Sun is away, and the chief clerk is dead again. Now the county government is basically running errands for Zhao Hanzhang."

   He said, "Besides Zhao Hanzhang now, apart from Fu Tinghan and Ji Yuan, he is the third person."

  Master Guan gritted his teeth and tried his best to hold back his resentment, and asked, "Can Magistrate Sun have any news?"

   "No, but my son has already sent someone to Chen County. By now... it should be here too, right?"

  The master was killed in front of his feet, and Master Guan was detained in the grain depot and could not get out. Guan Dalang sent people to Chen County to chase the magistrate Sun.

   At that time, the predicament of the Guan family could only be solved by the return of the magistrate Sun, so he sent someone to look for it, but Chen County is not near, so far there is no news.

   The magistrate Sun, who was remembered by them, had just entered Chen County at this time. He was already fast enough along the way, and he was so impatient that he could not wait to arrive at Chen County in a hurry.

  However, his body didn't work. Because of fear, he traveled all night, and he fell ill the next day. But he still insisted on hurrying, but the speed was a little slower.

   It took more than half a day to reach Chen County.

   As soon as he arrived in Chen County, he went straight to the governor's house. The pale and gaunt Sun County magistrate threw himself down in front of the governor He and cried: "Emissary, please send troops to Xianyang, save Xianyang..."

  He held the letter that Zhao Hanzhang had just arrived in his hand, looked down at the magistrate Sun, and sneered, "The magistrate Sun doesn't need to be more polite, the Chaoyang Rebellion has been settled."

  Sun county magistrate was stunned: "Huh?"

   Inspector He threw all the anger he had just received from Zhao Ming on Sun County magistrate, and he smashed the letter in his hand at him, "Look at it!"

   County magistrate Sun hurriedly pressed the letter that was smashed on his face, lowered his head and glanced at ten lines, his eyes widened, and his heart panicked, "This, this..."

   "Have I wronged you?"

  Sun County magistrate was drenched in cold sweat. He was already sick. At this time, when he was rushed by the information in this letter, his mind was as chaotic as mud.

   He was so dizzy when he saw that he was so dizzy.

   Zhao Ming, who was sitting quietly drinking tea, suddenly let out a sigh. Hearing his sigh, He calmed down.

   He restrained his anger and instructed with a blank face: "Help Magistrate Sun to rest."

   When even a servant stepped forward and dragged the magistrate Sun down.

   Inspector He didn't seem to see the rudeness of the servant's actions, turned to face Zhao Ming, and said with a half-smile, "I made Zinian laugh."

   Zhao Ming was unmoved and asked honestly, "What do you plan to do with Magistrate Sun?"

The smile on He Zhishi's face was a little light, he sat opposite Zhao Ming, stared at the teacup in front of him and pondered, "Looking at what Hanzhang said in the letter, she intends to use all the taxes that should be paid in Hayang this year as relief food. Sent."

   Zhao Ming: "She did this as a last resort. If Yangyang is to be stable, then it is necessary to stabilize the hearts of the people and make the ruler. At this time, when Yangyang is in chaos, it will not benefit anyone."

"You can't be chaotic, but Chen County can't be chaotic," He said, "Now the King of the East Sea and Gou Xi are in a diplomatic battle in Chen County, and it may spread to Chen County at any time. As the governor of Yuzhou, I have to go early. prepare."

   Zhao Ming thought about it for a moment, then sighed and said, "I am willing to persuade Han Zhang to pay some taxes."

   Inspector He insisted, "It's all!"

   He paused for a moment and then said, "If she can gather enough military rations for Yuzhou this time, I can recommend her for the position of Runan County Commander."

   Zhao Ming: ...Although he really wanted to refuse stubbornly, considering Zhao Hanzhang's goal, he still swallowed the words that came to his lips.

   He lowered his eyes and thought for a long time, before answering for Zhao Hanzhang, "Okay."

   Zhao Kuan, who was standing behind him, hesitated to speak, but seeing Zhao Ming's resolute expression, he could only suppress the words to his lips.

   After leaving the Governor's Mansion, he became a little anxious, "Uncle, this time he needs a lot of military rations, and Yangyang County has rebelled because of this taxation. How can you promise him for Sanniang?"

   Zhao Ming said: "There is no county governor in Runan County now, and the county chief is equivalent to the county governor. If you buy the entire Runan County with money, if Sanniang is here, she will also agree."

  Zhao Kuan: "...But Runan County belongs to the imperial court, not He Shishi alone. Can he be recognized by the imperial court?"

   Zhao Ming glanced at him and asked, "Can the imperial court come to Yuzhou now?"

   Zhao Kuan was speechless.

  If the imperial court can control Yuzhou, and if the governor He is obedient, will he swing back and forth between the East Sea King and Gou Xi?

  Huh, obviously, the Inspector He can be the lord, as long as he admits that Zhao Hanzhang is the governor of Runan County, then she can be the lord of Runan County.

   Of course, whether the counties under Runan County listen to her or not depends on her ability.

   But he doesn't think this is a problem. She has money and troops, is she afraid that those counties will not obey?

   Zhao Ming said: "I will come to the Governor's Mansion tomorrow, and you can go back when you are ready."

   Zhao Kuan asked blankly, "What else are you doing here?"

   "Come and get the official seal of Yangyang County, and get your letter of appointment for your appointment in Yangyang County," Zhao Ming said angrily, "You forgot why we came here?"

   Zhao Kuan stopped talking, but he was still a little stunned, as if in a dream, "Uncle, I haven't set my order yet, so I'm going to work?"

Zhao Ming responded, "Listen to what Sanniang said, although I didn't see her letter to Governor He, but she was so angry with him, and she could forcefully say that all the taxes were used as relief food, it can be seen that she has already taken Go down to Yangyang County."

   Zhao Ming sighed when he said this, "In terms of means and courage, she is far above your brothers."

   Zhao Kuan also feels that not only the means, but also the courage and ambition are far above them. After all, who would have thought of capturing Yangyang and then actually sending troops to capture it?

   When Zhao Ming went to find Governor He again the next day, Governor He did not embarrass him, and he readily gave Zhao Kuan the official seal of the magistrate of Hayang County, and gave the letter of appointment at the same time, and then sent them away with a smile.

   As soon as their uncle and nephew left, the smile on his face fell.

   His staff was also very uncomfortable and asked, "Your Majesty, just gave Runan County like this? The little tax from Yangyang is not a must for Yangyang, and it can be shared with other counties."
