Wei and Jin Cooks

   Chapter 82 Inquiry

   Zhao Hanzhang came back with loads of loads, and many people came to see them off.

   It can be seen that Zhao Changyu is very prestigious in the clan, and his popularity is also very good. Although he is dead, Yu Yin can still protect them.

   Many people took her hand and cried, giving her time to take her mother, younger brother, and fiance home to have a look.

   Zhao Hanzhang responded one by one, then took the twenty-nine new servants and various boxes and cages sent by the clan and left.

   They did not choose to leave, but chose to follow Zhao Hanzhang.

   was arrested for no reason. When they were under Zhao Hu's hands, they thought of escaping all the time, but when they got to Zhao Hanzhang's place, when she really let them go, they hesitated again.

   Leaving means that they will be captured and sold at any time, and the next owner may not have the character of Zhao Hanzhang.

   That's right, although they only said a few words, they have already determined that Zhao Hanzhang has morals, at least they treat them as individuals.

   So after discussing with the family, none of the eight families chose to leave.

   Zhao Hanzhang took his servants and property to go to Cai.

   Oh, and Zhao Ming, the world is chaotic now. Although Xiping is very close to Shangcai, Zhao Song is not at ease, so Zhao Ming is escorted by an escort.

   Zhao Hanzhang also readily accepted, she still has something to ask Zhao Ming.

   She and Ji Yuan went to the front of the horse, sandwiched Zhao Ming from left to right, and asked curiously, "Uncle Mingtang, what is the relationship between our family and the county magistrate of Shangcai?"

   Zhao Ming said: "It's not bad, your grandfather named Shang Cai Bo, and the fiefs are in Shang Cai. The local magistrate will naturally be more polite to us."

   Zhao Hanzhang asked, "That uncle thinks if I want to visit my parents and officials? You also know that I gathered some refugees on the way, and I have to make a register and become a citizen."

Zhao Ming thought for a while and said: "You are keeping filial piety, and you are a girl's family, so you don't have to come forward in person and let the housekeeper run errands, but since you have decided to serve Cai Shouxiao, there are still many things that you need to rely on the county lord in the future, you can do it. Some small gifts are given to the wife and daughter of the county lord."

   Zhao Hanzhang asked her ultimate goal, "Then, do all the refugees I gather have to be naturalized, or..."

Zhao Ming glanced at Ji Yuan, who was riding beside him, and said meaningfully: "It depends on how many people you think you can support. Now the taxation of the imperial court is not low, and it increases every year. By the way, it was new last year. An item has been added, called the cow dung tax."

"Your Zhuangzi is so big, you must raise a lot of cattle, and the tax is not low." Seeing that Zhao Hanzhang seemed to have something to say, Zhao Ming said: "If there are no cattle, five households in one mile count as one cattle, and they need to be married. The next person follows the example."

   That is to say, people who do not have cattle at home will be taxed with a cow dung tax for every five households.

   Zhao Hanzhang: "...will I have to pay taxes on human feces in the future?"

   Zhao Ming smiled, "I heard that the envoy has this plan."

   Zhao Hanzhang decided that the people she takes in will be 64%, hidden 60%, and 40% registered!

   is too much. It’s okay to control people’s food and drink, even Lazarus.

  Ji Yuan also listened to the whole process. He stayed by Zhao Changyu's side. He had never seen and understood about his hometown in Xiping only in documents and letters. For more specific matters and rules, he had to ask the people here.

   And Zhao Ming is obviously the best candidate.

  Fu Tinghan rode behind alone, his eyes gliding over the road and the nearby mountains and fields, Zhao Erlang kicked the horse's stomach and ran up, followed curiously, "Brother-in-law, what are you looking at?"

  Fu Tinghan turned his head and smiled at him, then said gently: "Looking at the trend of the road and mountains, I want to correct the map."

   Zhao Erlang was not interested in this, so he skipped the question and asked his own question, "Brother-in-law, will we live in the manor in the future?"

  Fu Tinghan nodded, "Yes."

   "Are you going to take my sister away after that year?"

  Fu Tinghan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who told you?"

Zhao Erlang pursed his lips and said unhappily, "My new acquaintances said, they said that you want to take my sister away, and I have to go back to Wubao to study and live with them, I don't want to study, I don't want you to take my sister away."

   Zhao Erlang asked: "Is it possible that you can't take my sister away without me calling you brother-in-law?"

  Fu Tinghan: "...No."

   Zhao Erlang stared at him aggressively.

  Fu Tinghan smiled and said, "Don't worry, if your sister doesn't want to leave, I can't pull her away." But if she wanted to leave, he naturally wouldn't stop her.

   Zhao Erlang was happy when he heard this, and called his brother-in-law back.

   Fu Tinghan saw that he was stupid, reached out and touched his head and said, "When I get back to the other courtyard, I will give you a test."

   "What is a test?"

   "Just make some games," Fu Tinghan said with a smile: "It's a very fun game."

   Returning to Shangcai, Zhao Ming only stayed for one night before returning to Xiping. Before leaving, he left Zhao Hanzhang a few of Zhao's door notes for her convenience.

   Zhao Hanzhang sent Zhao Ming away with a smile on his face, turned around and pulled Jiyuan up, they were going to Yangyang to pick up people and things back.

  Fu Tinghan didn't go. He wanted to look at Zhao Hanzhang's existing fields and pavement, and then draw it for her after statistics, so that everyone could arrange for whoever brought it back.

  There are a lot of people, a lot of luggage, and a lot of carriages and horses in Yangyang. Such a large team is eye-catching when they leave Yangyang, let alone enter Shangcai.

   They entered the manor on the front foot, and the magistrate of Shangcai County knew it on the back foot.

  Some yamen came to report, "I heard that there are thousands of people who are chariots and horses?"

   "So much? Could it be that you falsely reported the number?" The county magistrate said: "The number of thousands is comparable to the migration of a family. Could it be that the entire Zhao family in Xiping has moved here?"

   "Keren didn't come from Xiping, but from Hayang."

   The county magistrate frowned, "Xiyang? If it's not the relatives from Xiping, then they are the refugees who have been gathered?"

   The county magistrate shuddered and asked, "Could it be that the Zhao family is going to rebel?"

  The staff was silent for a while, and quickly said: "Don't panic, the county magistrate, it may be a misunderstanding, there may not be a thousand people, Zhao Gong is very famous, and the Zhao family is also a loyal minister of two generations, so this kind of thing should not happen."

   Seeing that the magistrate was still worried, he lowered his voice and said, "And Zhao Gong has only one granddaughter and one stupid grandson, who would rebel?"

When the magistrate thought it was true, he immediately felt relieved, and scolded the yamen with a snort, "You must have read it wrong, or you must have misreported the number, just a girl with a stupid brother, how many people can you have? Hearing that the wind is rain, I just want to make things bigger, so I can show my merit in front of the county, right?"

   The county magistrate was angry with them and frightened them, and after scolding the yamen, they drove them out.

The yamen went out with a bad look on his face. Seeing that no one saw him, he couldn't help but spit. Grandma's, even if he estimates too much, there are still a lot of people. There are so many people, and there are carriages and horses surrounding them. Go down for a long time to see the head.

   To say that there are not a thousand people, there must be seven or eight hundred people.

  Actually, the population in Zhao Hanzhang's hands now, including the tenants and long-term workers in the original Zhuangzi, is almost 1500.

See you tomorrow
