Chapter 71: Shang Cai

   Chapter 71 Shang Cai

   In the end, only twenty-eight people were willing to leave with Zhao Dian, and there were ninety-four in total who survived here. Not including Ji Ping, only less than a quarter of them were willing to leave with Zhao Dian.

   Zhao Dian didn't say anything. After taking the rations, he bid farewell to Zhao Hanzhang early the next morning.

Of course, Zhao Hanzhang wouldn't let him go back so dryly. Not only did she write a eloquent book to trust him to bring it to Zhao Zhongyu, but she also wrote a letter to Fu Zhi together with Fu Tinghan, explaining their plans .

   The farther away from Luoyang, the less chaotic the situation. Although there are many bandits and thieves along the way, but Zhao Hanzhang has led a lot of troupes, and there are refugees who follow, so ordinary mountain bandits and thieves will not trouble them.

With food and grass, they went east all the way smoothly, and then bypassed Yingchuan and entered Runan. After looking for the guard they had not seen for a long time, they went further and further off the first road. They had a few fast horses, and they went straight. I wanted to cross Yingchuan back to Runan, but I encountered a refugee army in Yingchuan, and it was very difficult...

   Zhao Hanzhang, who has been waiting for them to find them but can't always wait:...

   Zhao Hanzhang has very few memories of Runan in his mind, but he is mature.

   Before reaching the boundary monument, Uncle Cheng pointed to a wheat field that was beginning to turn yellow and said, "Sanniang, that's our Zhuangzi."

   When Zhao Hanzhang heard this, he turned his head and raised his eyebrows, "Are you in Runan?"

  Cheng Bo smiled and said: "Further ahead is Anchang, and then enters the territory of Runan. It takes at least three days to travel from here to Xiping's hometown."

   Zhao Hanzhang raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "We don't go to Xiping, we go to Shangcai."

   Cheng Bo was startled, "Shang Cai?"

   Zhao Hanzhang nodded, "Shangcai and Xiping are not far away. There are grandfather's fiefs there, as well as the land and Zhuangzi before the family. It is the most suitable place to go."

   "But now Uncle Xin is the eldest..."

   Zhao Hanzhang: "Will Uncle come back?"

   Of course not, let alone Zhao Ji, even Zhao Changyu has not returned to his hometown for many years.

"That's it, I'm in charge of the fief for the time being for the uncle, and there are not only fiefs, but also the fields purchased by my grandfather. Previously, I and my uncle exchanged the properties here, except for the fiefs and food towns, Shangcai's property. The title deeds are all in my hands.”

   She never thought of going back to her hometown in Xiping, where the clan is in charge. What is she going to do when she is a girl who is already engaged and is about to marry out?

   Do you listen to the sermons of the clan elders every day?

   Zhao Hanzhang said: "Go directly to Shangcai, and when you settle down, send someone to Xiping to inform the clan, and choose a good day for your grandfather to be buried in the ground."

   Chengbo bowed to answer.

  Shangcai and Xiping are in the same direction, and they do not separate until Yangyang Road. Shangcai is in the north-east direction, and Xiping is in the north-west direction.

   The county seat of Runan was in Shangcai before, but the current dynasty changed to Xinxi.

Although    has been changed, Shangcai is still one of the largest counties in Runan County, and the city is taller than other counties.

   Zhao Changyu's title was inherited from his ancestors, and it was because he was born in Runan County that he was named Shang Caibo.

He had made great achievements, and he was expected to raise his title to become Shang Caihou or Shang Cai Duke, but unfortunately, Empress Jia was in power at that time, and she always hated Zhao Changyu who opposed her husband Huidi's succession to the throne. Therefore, he waved Emperor Hui's hand, remembering Zhao Changyu's credit, and rewarding Zhao Zhongyu as the Marquis of Runan Ting.

   At that time, Zhao Changyu's son, Zhao Hanzhang's cheap father, Zhao Zhi, was still alive.

   Zhao Hanzhang has been thinking about the relationship between the big room and the second room. He feels that the relationship between the two rooms is tense. There are many internal and external factors. It is not necessary to mention internal reasons.

  Empress Jia has worked so hard, the brothers Zhao Changyu and Zhao Zhongyu naturally cannot let her down too much, so the relationship between the two brothers has been very bad.

  The Wubao of the Zhao family is in the Xiping clan land. Although there are many assets in Shangcai, the biggest one is a Zhuangzi.

   The tenant farmers and long-term workers living in it can form a very large village. Zhao Changyu built a courtyard here, and has always been taken care of by his family.

   This Zhuangzi and other courtyards were placed in Zhao Hanzhang's dowry list in a fair and honest manner, so she is now the rightful owner here.

   Of course, Zhao Hanzhang would not go there without saying a word. She had someone to notify Zhuangtou two days in advance, and asked them to clean up the courtyard and arrange everything.

When    arrived at Shangcai, he sent out two parts every two quarters of an hour to inform him.

  Fu Tinghan couldn't help looking at her. In his impression, Mr. Zhao was a very low-key person, and she never liked to attract attention, especially in school.

   Just because she is a little special, even if she doesn't draw attention, she will always be noticed.

   Zhao Hanzhang didn't explain, he took the group through Shangcai County, and not far from the city gate on the other side, he saw the Zhao family's manor.

   From a distance, the person riding on the horse saw that the houses in the distance were scattered, and there seemed to be two-storey or even three-storey high-rise buildings surrounded by them.

Sangma was planted on both sides of the road, and a group of people stood not far from the entrance of the village. When they got closer, they saw the ten trilogy standing at the front. It was just what they sent out to notify them. Behind them stood a middle A young man, behind him are men, women and children, there should be two or three hundred people.

   Zhao Hanzhang rode his horse at the front, Fu Tinghan instantly understood what she was going to do, pulled the reins to hold down the horse's speed, and was half a horse behind her.

   Zhao Hanzhang rode on the horse, Zhuangtou raised his head to meet Zhao Hanzhang's eyes, saw Zhao Ju and Cheng Bo who were following behind her, and immediately knelt down.

   When the people behind him saw this, they knelt down after him, kneeling on both sides of the avenue in an instant.

   Zhao Hanzhang didn't stop, he led the crowd through them and went directly to the other courtyard in the middle of Zhuangzi.

   Chengbo stopped the horse and waited by the side, waiting for the coffin, Wang and others to pass by the car, and then looked at Zhuangtou, "Is the other courtyard ready?"

Zhuangtou bent down and said, "It's tidy up, the little one will be tidy up as soon as he receives the news, the house has been smoked, and the bedding has been re-starched, just because the masters will dislike it, but the harvest has not been good in recent years. Well, it's not easy to buy good things."

  Cheng Bo said: "You can't fool me with this, and you still want to fool the master? I'll take you to see the girl in a while, you have the guts, you and her will tell you this."

Zhuang Tou said with a bitter face: "Uncle Cheng, the young dare not hide from you, the harvest is really bad. Last year's drought and snow disaster caused people in Zhuangzi to starve to death, and this year there are refugees from Yingchuan. The unripe wheat has been stolen, and one or two strands in the county cloth village are sold for sky-high prices, how can the small ones find so much money to buy silk and cotton to make quilts?"

   Cheng Bo frowned and asked, "Has no one been here these few days?"

   "No one is coming."

   "Aren't there any guests? Mr. Ji, who you met before, didn't come here either?"

   "No, I never heard that Mr. Ji was coming."

   Cheng Bo's face changed slightly.

See you tonight
