   Chapter 320 How difficult is people's livelihood

  There are two urgent documents, one is to urge Zhao Hanzhang to raise the military ration that he had promised to Governor He, and the other is to distribute taxes to Runan County this year.

  The tax of Runan County, Yuzhou stipulates the time for full payment, which is the twelfth of the next month.

   Zhao Hanzhang frowned, and his face sank even more when he saw the tax requirements of the last counties.

At the end of the official document was a piece of paper, which was a letter from Ji Yuan to Zhao Hanzhang.

  The war in Luoyang has been stalemate, and the autumn harvest has begun. Whether it is the Great Jin or the Huns, they all want to end the war before the weather gets cold.

   So Gou Xi, who had been paddling on the battlefield, finally got serious and started to force the Huns to retreat.

   Even Gou Xi, who had a deep grievance with the King of the East China Sea, took action. Yuzhou, which was on the edge of Luoyang, could no longer be a sideshow. Whether it was for his own reputation and future, or for the national plan, He had to send troops.

  The soldiers and horses went ahead without food and grass. If they wanted to end the war before winter, they had to collect enough food and grass before the end of the autumn harvest.

   So the tax requested this time is very heavy, but the time given is very short, which is simply forcing the people to die.

  However, if there is no troops, once Luoyang is conquered, not only Yuzhou, but the entire Central Plains will be exposed to the iron cavalry of the Huns.

   This is almost an endless loop, Zhao Hanzhang felt the pressure of being in the top position for the first time.

   She sat on the ridge with official documents and letters in contemplation.

Fu Tinghan, who came to experience life with a sickle, trouser legs rolled up and Zhao Hanzhang, stood quietly behind her, reached out to take the official document in her hand, and swept it at a glance: "The grain tax they asked can support an army of 200,000 people for a month. consumption, and this is just the grain tax in Runan County."

   Zhao Hanzhang returned to his senses, frowned, and squeezed the letter in his hand.

   She turned her head and glanced at the people who were harvesting rice in the field. She said she was here to experience life, but in fact she wanted to understand the autumn harvest in Biyang County this year, as well as the current psychology of the people and their views on the yamen.

Because Jun Cheng personally came to meet them for the autumn harvest, and their faces were still full of happy smiles. The bachelors who followed Zhao Hanzhang did not seem to be in autumn, but in spring. Several people followed a little girl with sickles from a distance , cut all the rice around her, and left a small piece for her.

  The elders nearby saw the joke, and asked the parents of the little girl to choose one of the son-in-laws in the episode, so that in the future, they would not be afraid that no one would use them for the spring and autumn harvest.

   The little girl blushed with shame, but her parents thought about it seriously, and looked at the few parts generously.

   A few young people stood up and let them look at them, and the tips of their ears were a little red...

   Zhao Hanzhang withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "Send this official document and know all the counties, and this year's taxes will be halved."

  Ting He immediately went to the carriage to get the pen and ink cartridge, took out the pen and ink, and put the box on the ground for Zhao Hanzhang to cushion.

Because she always works on the go, Ting He is used to carrying a pen, ink, paper and inkstone with her. Fu Tinghan met and asked the craftsman to make Zhao Hanzhang an easy-to-carry pen and ink box. In addition to the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, there can also be a lot of paper for official documents. It can also be used as a desk when placed in front of you.

   is a must-have product for field office.

   Zhao Hanzhang made a reply on the official document, affixed his own seal and handed it to the officer, "This is an urgent document, and it will be sent to the counties immediately."

   The official responded, and Zhao Hanzhang then turned over the other official documents and dealt with them.

  She handled it very quickly, mainly at the request of Ji Yuan, the official documents from the county newspapers were concise, directly explaining the reasons, and there was less room for everyone to exert their literary talents, so they were very refined.

   Zhao Hanzhang can know what the problem is by scanning it with one eye and ten lines, and he can reply with a pen.

   After approving the batch of official documents, Zhao Hanzhang took out a blank piece of paper, and after pondering for a while, he wrote a letter to Ji Yuan.

   "The people's livelihood is very difficult, although the foreign enemy is strong and requires our unity, but we must also distinguish from the middle whether all the needs are really invested in the national war, or some people take the opportunity to make money."

Zhao Hanzhang wrote sadly: "In the past, there was a lesson from the past, and now there are signs of chaos in Biyang. I am afraid that the situation in other counties is not much better. I really don't want to see that the external enemy is not clear, and civil strife will arise. "

"If the tenacity of the people in the Central Plains is not pushed to the extreme, there will be no conspiracy against the riots. Therefore, Mr. Hanzhang does not want to see the life of Runan in ruins. I would like to ask you to help take care of it. Last week, give the people a chance to fight for this..."

Zhao Hanzhang put the letter aside for the ink to dry, and sat and pondered. Fu Tinghan also sat on the ridge at some time, and seeing her blank face, he said, "I really don't know how to write a letter to Uncle Ming. Give him a copy of the two official documents?"

   Zhao Hanzhang glanced at Fu Tinghan approvingly, then wrote down the general meaning of the two official documents, and entrusted Zhao Ming to take care of Xiping County and help Jiyuan by the way.

After writing a letter to Zhao Ming, it would be much simpler to write a reply to He Zhishi. In fact, it was an official tone, saying that he would try his best to raise food and grass, but this year, people's livelihood was difficult, and Runan County was already severely damaged during the summer tax period. There are some changes in the counties in the county, and many people have left Runan County. I am afraid that it will be difficult to raise a full amount of taxes.

   Zhao Hanzhang wrote a lot of excuses, and finally sighed: "I hope there will be less wars next year, and the weather will be better."

  Fu Tinghan pursed her lips and did not speak. If it is true as she said before, this era happens to be a time of frequent natural disasters, then it will be too difficult to have good weather.

   Zhao Hanzhang also understood this in her heart, which is why she was so eager to have the counties build water conservancy projects, and she did not hesitate to pay for her work at her own expense.

   I only hope that these water conservancy projects will be somewhat useful in the future, even if it is only a little, that will ease the trend a little more.

   But natural disasters are ignored, let’s settle man-made disasters first.

Zhao Hanzhang felt a sense of urgency and stopped staying in Biyang County. She directly pointed Liang Hong as the new county magistrate. For this reason, she specially recruited the team leader Li Tian and Mr. Guo and Mr. Ma to have a meal together. The protagonist It is Liang Hong.

At the banquet, Zhao Hanzhang poured wine for Mr. Guo, Mr. Ma, and said with a smile: "In the future, Mr. Lao Guo and Mr. Ma will assist the magistrate of Liang in Biyang County. Let's work together to make Biyang County better and better."

   Mr. Guo and Mr. Ma are well informed, mainly because Zhao Hanzhang is in Biyang County. After a batch of official documents, Biyang County will post an announcement.

   The tax requested by the county government was directly half of what was announced in the official document, so we knew that this was what Zhao Hanzhang meant.

   Regardless of their grievances with Zhao Hanzhang, they really admire Zhao Hanzhang for this matter, and not everyone has the courage to refuse the taxes assigned by the imperial court and the prefect's office.

   Even if Magistrate Hu was their friend, at this moment, they felt that the Magistrate of Biyang County was a good exchange.

   The two of them sighed inwardly and glanced at Li Tianhe who was sitting beside Liang Hong. Knowing that he was the confidence that Zhao Hanzhang left to Liang Hong, they squeezed out a smile, raised their glasses and said to Zhao Hanzhang, "I'll be honored."

   Oops, I was almost wrong, I went to Manbao
