   Chapter 418 Shock

   Zhao Ming had long known that Inspector He had left the iron ore in Runan County to Zhao Hanzhang, of course, not for Zhao Hanzhang personally, but for Yuzhou.

The He family lost the governor He, and no one behind them could control generals like Xun Xiu and Mice. The iron ore had to be given up, otherwise not only the generals like Xun Xiu, but also the aristocratic families like Zhao and Xun in Yuzhou would be destroyed. can eat them.

   Now Governor He has handed over the iron ore directly to Zhao Hanzhang. Even if the Zhao family is just for the favor of the iron ore, he will try his best to protect the He family and the children, so that they can live comfortably under the shelter.

   However, it was an iron mine after all, and it was still an iron mine with a high output. He thought that the Hejia always had to negotiate some conditions before he was willing to give it to Zhao Hanzhang, and now she has completely won it.

Zhao Hanzhang knew what Zhao Ming was thinking, and went back to the old house with him. After letting the servants lead Yu Sheng and others down to rest, he turned his head and said to Zhao Ming: "Everyone in the He family is very aware of current affairs. He has already mentioned to me three times that he is going to hand over the iron ore, and it happened that I was going to come back to see my uncle this time, so I took him along by the way."

   "Come back to see me?"

   "Yes," Zhao Hanzhang smiled, "Didn't my uncle ask a lot of people to help me raise supplies? If I say anything, I have to come back and see, I can't make my uncle lose face, right?"

   Zhao Ming snorted softly: "As long as you can come up with the checkout money, I will have a face."

   Zhao Hanzhang immediately said: "I brought the money back this time."

   Zhao Ming was slightly surprised.

Zhao Hanzhang asked: "I am busy with state affairs, I have forgotten that today is the winter solstice, or I went out this morning. Zhao Tong came with a bowl of dumplings. I only knew that today was the winter solstice, so I did not dare to stay outside, and immediately rushed back to Xiping. . I wonder if our family can hold a winter solstice banquet this year? Can those who have prepared the supplies be in the dock?"

  She went to Shangcai.

   Thoughts flashed, Zhao Ming has already nodded, "Some people are there, some people are not."

   "Also ask my uncle to introduce me."

   Zhao Ming looked at her up and down, and seeing that she was full of confidence, he asked, "Where did you get so much money?"

   Zhao Hanzhang couldn't help showing a bright smile on his face, and said directly: "My grandfather left it to me."

   The guess came true, Zhao Ming didn't know what to say.

   Zhao Hanzhang did not hide this, and hoped that this rumor would spread more and more widely.

   Zhao Ming wondered if he also guessed her plan, turned around and took her to meet people in the garden of the banquet.

   In this era, it is not the simple merchants who have more supplies, but the aristocratic families and the nobility.

  What kind of merchants, they are just people who transport goods for noble families and gentry, and most of them come from their own homes.

  The so-called family and gentry are big landowners who integrate farming, textiles, shops and business.

  In this era of serious labor loss, ordinary people are barely clothed and hungry, aristocratic families and gentry are the only people who can have excess supplies.

   They will use these materials to buy more land and population, and then form a stronger system, so if Zhao Hanzhang wants to buy materials, he can only find them, and they are the first ones that come to mind.

   They like to enjoy pleasure, like a refined life, and also need to strengthen their own abilities.

   So they need money to buy fine china, soft silk, and powerful weapons and iron.

   And now, Zhao Hanzhang has the gold and silver they need, and they have the food and cloth that Zhao Hanzhang needs.

   is such a fit, which makes them friendly as soon as they meet.

  In order to show that he was not short of money, Zhao Hanzhang clapped his hands, and his guards brought four large boxes up, and when they opened it, there were neatly stacked golden cakes inside.

   Everyone was stunned, and even Zhao Ming, who had expected it, could not hold back his fists.

Zhao Hanzhang said with a smile: "Hanzhang is under the shadow of my ancestors, this is what my grandfather left to me, it's only part of it, and my uncles also know that now I am in need of supplies in Yuzhou, so I also invite my uncles. Be generous, but sell everything in your home to Hanzhang."

  She said carelessly, with a look of not knowing the price of gold and silver: "The price is easy to negotiate."

The famous nobles who came to Zhao's Winter Solstice banquet to eat and drink swallowed their saliva, their eyes slowly slid from the golden cake to Zhao Hanzhang's face, and asked, "This... these are what Duke Zhao gave to Sanniang... ...to make you stay?"

   Zhao Hanzhang smiled and nodded: "Not bad."

   Everyone's hearts are hot, Zhao Changyu left behind~~

   It seems that the rumors are not wrong. With Zhao Changyu's good management and stingy temperament, I don't know how much money he has saved. I heard that he was wealthy enough to rival the country ten years ago, and the money in his family is higher than that of Shi Chong and others.

  Humph, people like Shi Chong are wealthy and wealthy, but they don’t know how to restrain themselves. A little extra wealth is known to the world. Where is Zhao Changyu’s low-key and introverted?

   It seems that he left all the money to Zhao Hanzhang.

  Then... Does Zhao Zhongyu know?

   He inherited the position of the patriarch. Is it all the private property of Zhao Changyu, or is it the family property of the Zhao clan?

  Everyone can't stop to see Zhao Ming.

   Zhao Ming's face was indifferent, it was really difficult for everyone to see other meanings from his white face, so they could only give up.

  The winter solstice banquet is a very elegant banquet. It’s okay to write poems, write articles and draw pictures. What’s the matter with talking about business?

  So Zhao Hanzhang also mentioned a sentence, and the others listened to it, their eyes slid over the golden cake, and the specific matters will be discussed later.

   You don't even need Zhao Hanzhang to come forward in person, Ji Yuan can do it.

   Zhao Hanzhang saw the many talents of Yuyan, and left with a smile, none of whom was selected.

   Zhao Ming couldn't help but follow her with a frown, "The Zhongzheng official of Yuzhou is still General Xiahou. I heard that he is now in the state of Lu and is very close to Gou Xi?"

  Lu State also belongs to Yuzhou, yes, the scope of my big Yuzhou is so large.

   But... "The State of Lu is not within my control."

   "So if he decides the talent selection in the State of Lu, do you think you can beat him?" Zhao Ming said: "There are so many people here now, why don't you decide the talent selection?"

   Zhao Ming was very courageous and said directly: "You are the governor and have the right to choose talents."

   Zhao Hanzhang said with a smile: "I'm not sure about the product. If anyone wants to be an official, just take the exam."

Seeing Zhao Ming frowning and not speaking, Zhao Hanzhang said: "I know that they hold their own identity and are unwilling to take the exam with Han Shi, but if they want to go to office to gain power and show their ambitions, they can run around and express their opinions. , I hope the superiors will take pity on me, how much more noble is this than taking the exam openly and letting me choose?"

   "Sit with Han Shi..."

"Uncle, all the people in the world are only one ten millionth of a million people who can win the Han Shi, and the remaining ten million points are the pariahs in their hearts, and what I do is to want all the people to live together, and they don't even sit with the Han Shi. If you are willing, how can you be willing to bend over for this pariah?"

   Zhao Hanzhang shook his head and said, "They are so noble, I can't afford them."

  How could Zhao Ming not hear the sarcasm in her mouth, he nodded after a moment of silence, "Alright, if you can't choose like-minded people, at least you can't disagree too deeply."
