  Chapter 693 Daily Government Affairs

  As soon as Ji Yuan said this, Zhao Hanzhang remembered, "Sir, is there still no news about Wang Xuan?"

   Ji Yuan shook his head, "Nowadays the world is in chaos, and the news from various places is not timely, so it is too difficult to find someone."

Zhao Hanzhang couldn't help sighing, "I remember Wang Xuan, although he is also a famous scholar, but he is not the same as his father, but he has a bit of practical talent like Uncle Ming, and I also promised Si Niang to help her find someone, but this It’s been almost a year and there’s no news.”

Ji Yuan said: "Let's go with the flow. Now that you use Pei Yuanjun as a girl, the dispute between the two families of King Pei will spread all over the world. As long as Wang Xuan is still alive, he will definitely hear about Wang Yushi and the others. I will come to Luoyang."

  Zhao Hanzhang can only nod, I hope so.

  Pei Yuanjun walked over.

  Zhao Hanzhang pointed to a place and said: "Sit down, some government orders need you to record."

   "Yes." Pei Yuanjun sat down on his knees, took out the four treasures of the study, and began to pour water into the inkstone to grind ink.

Zhao Hanzhang also ignored her, and continued to discuss political affairs with Ji Yuan, "This year's grain seeds and agricultural tools have been distributed, but this is far from enough. There are many wastelands, many refugees, and there is still a lot of land that needs to be re-cultivated. People who have no long-term considerations must have near-term worries, and they can't wait until they are about to plant before thinking of buying seeds and making farm tools."

  Ji Yuan nodded, "I have sent people to keep an eye on Bingzhou. At present, Shi Le and Liu Cong have no signs of mobilizing troops. This winter should be able to survive this winter. Then we can prepare what we need for next year at this time."

  Zhao Hanzhang also planned in this way, "It's a pity that the two large iron mines in Luoyang and Runan County are not close to water, and they don't need water power. We can only send more people and use manpower."

   Ji Yuan said: "Among the captives brought back by the girl, they have been building river channels before. After half a year, they have been tamed a lot. It is better to choose some weak and obedient ones and send them to the mine."

  Zhao Hanzhang pondered, still unwilling to take risks, shook his head and said: "Forget it, let's recruit long-term workers. Those captives are mostly Jiehu and Huns. Let them dig ditches, open up wasteland and cultivate land."

  Ji Yuan: "...Jiehu is fine, the Huns farm the land, girls, it's better to let them go to the mines to dig, and send more people to guard it."

  Zhao Hanzhang said happily: "Mr. dislikes the land they can't plant well, so let them graze."

  She said: "We need to raise horses, and we also need to raise a large number of cattle and sheep. The Huns are good at these. I think they can be used here."

  The mine is too important. Once the captives rebel, run away, and expose their location, it will be dangerous.

It is better to use it in other places, Zhao Hanzhang said: "Whether it is Han, Jiehu or Xiongnu, anyone who is captured can apply for household registration after serving enough days. Once he has household registration, he is the people under my rule, and I treat them equally. .”

   Speaking of this, Zhao Hanzhang turned his head to Pei Yuanjun and said: "Write an announcement to appease the captives and admonish the people. We treat people with sincerity, and we will naturally reap sincerity."

  Pei Yuanjun heard the words and responded, but he hesitated, and after a moment of consideration, he said: "Master, your heart is certainly good, but they may not appreciate it. If you are in power, you are too kind..."

  Hearing this, Zhao Hanzhang smiled, and said to her: "I know, you can write it, and write me more kindly."

  Ji Yuan, who was sitting opposite Zhao Hanzhang, shook his head and smiled, and said to Pei Yuanjun, "Just write as the girl said."

"Now we are short of people. If those prisoners are willing to stay for our use after serving hard labor, we will not lose money." Because Pei Yuanjun is a newcomer, when Zhao Changyu fell in love with Pei's daughter and wanted to be Zhao Zhi's wife Ji Yuan went to investigate the people, so Ji Yuan has two sympathies for her and is willing to teach her, "Secondly, these people will be very skillful immediately, if they sincerely surrender, and if there is a war, one of them can be worth ten people."

   This is not a joke. These Huns and Jiehu grew up on horseback, which is different from Zhao Hanzhang’s group of infantry who have never touched a horse.

   It will take at least two years for Zhao Hanzhang to train recruits, but the war does not allow them to have such a long time, so what should we do?

   Can only be piled with human life.

   If you die, you will be replaced, and if you die, you will be replaced again. The death rate of the cavalry is very high.

   But this is wrong, it is a deformed development, so Zhao Hanzhang has always wanted to form another cavalry composed of Han people and miscellaneous Hus.

  Pei Yuanjun glanced over the expressions of Ji Yuan and Zhao Hanzhang, and couldn't help asking: "Is there three more?"

Ji Yuan looked at Zhao Hanzhang with a smile and said, "Of course, three, show the girl's kindness. When the two armies fight in the future, if the other side knows that we treat the prisoners well, they will not resist too desperately, which can reduce a lot. casualties."

   Zhao Hanzhang has always treated the captives kindly, not to let them be treated better than his own soldiers (that is impossible), but it is different from the current killing and abuse of prisoners, Zhao Hanzhang has clear orders.

All armies, including but not limited to Zhao's army, Xun Xiu's and others' army must also obey. The captured prisoners are not allowed to be tortured and killed. They serve according to their rank and the number of beheaded on the battlefield. Each rank has a number of days of hard labor. .

  Ordinary captives can choose to settle in the locality after serving, and they will receive the same treatment as the Han people after receiving the books.

  Most of the captives fell into the military when they landed.

   Uncommon captives, such as those with noble status and strong military capabilities, were directly absorbed into the army after being captured, and they did not have to serve.

If you obey, you will be given a certain military position, and you can directly lead the troops to the battlefield. If you don’t obey, you will be locked up for a period of time. It is good to be able to persuade. nothing.

  Of course, this kind of overly detailed operation will not be reflected in the official documents. Now they are facing most of the ordinary captives.

   What Zhao Hanzhang wants is to stabilize the hearts of the people and the hearts of the prisoners.

  After the autumn sowing is over, it will be winter. This year needs to be summarized, and the property and materials needed for next year need to be prepared. All kinds of things have to be discussed.

  Ji Yuan found a letter from the pile of documents he brought and handed it to Zhao Hanzhang, "This is a letter from Jinyang Liu Kun."

  Zhao Hanzhang took it, read it and said: "I will write back to him."

   Ji Yuan frowned slightly, "He said the channel was blocked, and this time he couldn't deliver what the girl asked for."

   "I have another way, he just needs to be ready, and we have our own way to transport it back."

   Is it the line in Fu Tinghan's hand?

Ji Yuan glanced at Pei Yuanjun, did not ask, nodded and changed the topic, "Girl, the food and tax shortages are basically made up, but this time I annoyed a lot of people. The soldiers patrolling yesterday caught him again. Don't you think you need to come forward to appease the people of the two families who escaped from the capital without any fault?"

  The city gate of Luoyang has already been opened, allowing people in the city to go out. After all, they may need to go out of the city for work, business, and play.

  But she still forbids the people of Luoyang to relocate casually, unless there is a clearance given by the yamen, otherwise, they cannot go out of Luoyang.

  Of course, there are always people who can avoid the patrol and run out, but those who are mostly individuals and want to drag their families away are basically impossible.

   And the life in Luoyang is not particularly sad now. This kind of family ran out and was caught, either deliberately protesting to her, or being used as a stone for asking directions.

  Zhao Hanzhang asked: "How did Zhao Kuan deal with it?"

  Ji Yuan sighed and said, "That kid didn't know how to change things. He was punished to dig ditches just like the previous cases. It's just that the identities of the people arrested this time are a bit special. Most of them are female relatives, and there are several young children among them."

   "Girl, if this matter is not handled well, I'm afraid it will arouse the rebellion of the gentry."

  Zhao Hanzhang pondered for a while, and said after a while: "I'll go take a look in the afternoon after the discussion is over."

  Zhao Hanzhang and Ji Yuan discussed a lot of things, while Pei Yuanjun took notes and took a task of drafting documents from time to time.

After the discussion was over, it was already afternoon, Zhao Hanzhang got up, and said to Pei Yuanjun: "Fan Ying should have done these things in the past, but she took another job today, so you will take over for the next few days, if you have any doubts about drafting the documents You can ask Zhao Yunxin about the place."

  Pei Yuanjun bowed in response.

  Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand to let them go to work.

   Waiting for the people to leave, she twisted her waist and stretched her arms, moving her neck and legs.

  Ting He smiled and brought up a basin of hot water to wash her hands, "The girl is exhausted, do you want to go back to the house and rest for a while?"

"Lie down at this time, I guess I won't wake up until night, and I won't be able to sleep at night." Zhao Hanzhang washed his hands, picked up a cloth towel and said after drying: "Let someone prepare the horse. Let's go to the county government. If there is enough time, we Then go for a run outside the city, and it will be fine when the activities start.”

  After sitting on her knees for a long time, she still can't stop thinking. To be honest, she is really tired.

  Zhao Hanzhang strolled to the Luoyang county government office.

  The county government office was quite lively. There were many people standing outside and inside the gate, and there were loud cries from time to time.

  Zhao Hanzhang reined in his horse and stretched his neck curiously to look in, but because there were too many people around, he didn't see anything.

   Zhao Hanzhang got off his horse and looked around.

Listening to He's cleverness, he immediately ran to a nearby cloth stall and bought two hat curtains with someone, but the curtains were not gauze, but black cloth, and when they hung down, they not only blocked other people's eyes, but also took her.

  Zhao Hanzhang smiled, but still took it and put it on his head, and then passed the curtain around to cover the lower half of his face.

   Most people who have met Zhao Hanzhang have also seen Tinghe, so Tinghe also blocked his face and squeezed into the crowd with Zhao Hanzhang.

  I saw a lot of people kneeling and sitting on the ground in the courtyard of the county government office, most of them were women and children, crying up to the sky, tears streaming down, it was very pitiful to watch.

  In the courtroom, Zhao Kuan was sitting behind the desk, looking down at the official document in his hand with a solemn face.

  Zhao Hanzhang had sharp eyes. He saw that he was writing something quickly on the official document, then closed it and put it aside, and then picked up the next official document. Obviously, he was dealing with other things.

   Among other things, Zhao Hanzhang admired her for being able to handle official documents surrounded by crying, so she squeezed into the crowd to watch the excitement, and curiously asked people around, "Who is this, why are you crying in the county government office?"
