Wei and Jin Cooks

   Chapter 315 Scared

   Ma Hao is not stupid, he understood almost instantly that Zhao Hanzhang was going to buy food from him with the money confiscated from the magistrate Hu.

  Some of the belongings in the Ma family's courtyard were really left there by the Ma family.

Ma Hao rubbed his forehead. Most of the treasure could not be taken back. He also made a quick decision. After looking at Ma Zuo, he nodded in response, pointed to Ma Zuo and said gently to Zhao Hanzhang: "This is my brother, I have been in charge of the household affairs, and if the county chief wants to buy food, it is good to find him."

   Zhao Hanzhang nodded at Ma Zuo, and looked at the other side by the way.

   Ma Zuo, who bowed slightly and lowered his head, was much more pleasing to the eye than Ma Xuan. Zhao Hanzhang did not hesitate to praise her and asked directly, "Since Ma Zuo takes care of the common affairs, why does Ma Xuan come to the county government to handle things?"

   Ma Hao's face froze, and he hurriedly asked: "But my brother's words offended the county chief without a trace?"

   He hurriedly said: "He's stupid in reading, and he didn't mean to offend him. He also asked the prince to be lenient on my face..."

  For fear that Zhao Hanzhang would be unhappy, Ma Xuan was also cut off.

   Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand indifferently and said, "Don't worry, he is fine, he is having a bar with Liang Xiancheng at this time."

  Ma Hao:…

   said so, but he was still not at ease. It was the first time they met, and Zhao Hanzhang was too cruel.

   Zhao Hanzhang brought up the matter of buying food. Although he said that Ma Zuo was solely responsible, Liang Hong also said that the Ma family was the master of Ma Hao.

  If the food she wants to buy exceeds his bottom line, he will naturally have to decide. It will be too troublesome to go back and forth. Since she came to visit today, she will decide according to the situation.

   So she directly ignored Ma Zuo behind her and said to Ma Hao, "I want to buy two thousand stone of food from the Ma family."

  Ma Hao: ...why don't you say it directly, I plan to scavenge all the food in your family's stockpile.

   Of course, Ma Hao couldn't sell Zhao Hanzhang 2,000 shi of grain. Although he could still get it with a squeeze, his family would also run out of grain.

  The Ma family has raised a lot of servants, of course, they are far less than the trilogy raised by the Zhao family, but the daily expenses are also a lot.

  Thinking about this, Ma Hao finally didn't want to push the trouble to Ma Zuo, but cheered up and bargained with Zhao Hanzhang.

In fact, there is not much to argue about the price of grain. He is willing to lower the price and sell it to Zhao Hanzhang. Zhao Hanzhang also does not want to lower the price. There are five counties after Biyang County. She hopes that the news of her generosity and wealth will spread. When going out, it’s better to spread the word about Runan County and float to the whole of Yuzhou to attract more grain merchants and gentry.

   So what they are fighting for is volume.

   Zhao Hanzhang wanted to buy more, Ma Hao wanted to sell less.

  Mazo listened on the sidelines with a strange feeling. It was the first time he saw that the buyer wanted to buy more, but the seller wanted to sell less.

   Zhao Hanzhang finally succeeded in setting the amount of 1,200 shi, and also negotiated the price.

   Zhao Hanzhang was very generous and said directly: "I'll go back and have people bring the money."

   Ma Hao was startled and immediately said: "No hurry, no hurry, wait for me to prepare the food before trading..."

   Zhao Hanzhang smiled at him and said, "I trust Master Ma, I will pay the money first, I think we should be able to trade soon, right?"

   She said meaningfully: "The people are all waiting for the relief food."

   Ma Hao can't say anything against it, does he dare to go back on it? Does he dare to delay?

  As soon as Zhao Hanzhang left, Ma Hao lay down on the bed with a heartache and frowned.

After Ma Zuo sent Zhao Hanzhang out of the house, he came back and saw him. He bowed and stood on one side. Ma Hao eased a little and got up and said angrily, "Let someone go to the county office to call Brother Xuan back, and let him deal with Zhao Hanzhang. What have you been doing?"

Everyone found him here, but he was still missing in the county office.

  Ma Zuo responded, turned and was about to go down, when Ma Hao stopped him and frowned: "Let the housekeeper do these small things, you can take someone to the warehouse to count the food."

   He sighed and said, "The grain depot should not have enough food, so I have to ask Zhuangzi to bring some up."

  Ma Zuo responded, and after a while, he asked, "Why did the eldest brother agree to her? Given so much food, the family will have to face difficulties."

"Zhao Hanzhang... is a daring person. If you give it to her now, it's a business. She is good to me and everyone." Ma Hao paused and said, "If you don't give it, who knows if the Ma family will encounter bandits and thieves in the future. Category?"

   It is said that if the magistrate is cut, the magistrate will be cut. Facing such a magistrate, Ma Hao did not dare to have too high expectations.

Sure enough, Zhao Hanzhang bought the first batch of food, and when he returned to the county office, he began to issue announcements, and asked the yamen and the guards to go to the villages and alleys to read. The content is very simple. They changed the county magistrate in Biyang County. , the county government will distribute food for relief, and let the villagers in each li go to the county seat to collect the food in person.

   All the people who fell into trouble due to poverty this year have been pardoned. As long as she takes the initiative to return home, she can pretend that nothing happened and give them some relief food to help them tide over the difficulties.

  The news spread, because they knew that Magistrate Hu had been beheaded by the newly arrived county magistrate, many people directly believed in Zhao Hanzhang, and began to rush to the county town with books and books.

  Many villagers who had already gone to block the road quietly to collect tolls heard the news and quietly returned to the village, pretending that nothing had happened.

   But there are also people who stay strong on the mountain, insisting on making a living by robbing families.

   Zhao Hanzhang flipped through the news that was being reported in every li, and knew it in his heart.

   Whoever knows best about the situation of bandits in Biyang County is none other than Fu Tinghan.

   Bandits and bandits are also good people. They also had household registrations before they became bandits, and they were also under the jurisdiction of Lizheng. Therefore, there is no one who knows the situation best than Lizheng.

Fu Tinghan, who had gathered so many positive news, naturally knew the situation best, and he waited for Zhao Hanzhang to finish reading before saying: "There are more than 300 bandits in the Houshangou area now, in addition to the original villagers in Houshangou, there are also Quite a few were drawn from elsewhere."

   Zhao Hanzhang nodded, "There are still a lot of people."

   Fu Tinghan asked: "Do you want to suppress the bandits?"

   Zhao Hanzhang shook his head, "It takes a lot of manpower and material resources to suppress the bandits. They just started, they just looted the passing businessmen, and haven't killed anyone yet. I don't want to use my soldiers to fight them?"

  Fu Tinghan moved in his heart and turned to look at her, "So?"

   "So I'm going to recruit security!" Zhao Hanzhang said: "Let's do the salute before the soldiers, and see if we can attract people in."

   "Who will tell?"

   "Of course I went," Zhao Hanzhang said: "Mr. Ji is not here, Liang Hong is not enough to trust, and his ability and prestige are not up to the level, he went there for nothing, it is better for me to go in person."

  Fu Tinghan nodded, closed the booklet in his hand, got up and said, "Let's go then."

   Zhao Hanzhang looked at him blankly, "You are going too?"

See you tomorrow
