Wei and Jin Cooks

   Chapter 96 Step Back

   Zhao Ming didn't think he was a rebel at all, but he didn't want to irritate his father too much, so he honestly went back to his room.

   Zhao Song paused for a while, and decided to put his anger on Tan Zhong, thinking that if it wasn't for him, their father and son would not have quarreled over ancestral property and family property, and they would not have been annoyed with each other because of their different attitudes towards Zhao Hanzhang.

   In the final analysis, is it not these industries that are making trouble?

  So Zhao Song angrily wrote a letter to Zhao Zhongyu, his letter and Tan Zhong's letter arrived at Zhao Zhongyu's hands almost simultaneously from different channels.

   Zhao Zhongyu first opened Tan Zhong's letter and read it. Tan Zhong objectively described what he saw, heard and experienced after arriving in Xiping.

   Then she said bluntly, Sanniang borrowed the prestige of the eldest house, and extended her kindness, and she has won the hearts of the people in Wubao. If the grievances between the two houses cannot be resolved, I am afraid that the prestige of the master in the clan will be damaged, and the second house will not be able to move an inch in the future.

He also said: As for the ancestral property and family property, although the fifth grandfather has let go, he does not trust outsiders, and he is quite critical of the lord. However, according to Tan, the hometown of Xiping is still willing to support the lord, so it is better to speak out about the difficulty, perhaps. Solve the current predicament.

   After reading Tan Zhong's letter, Zhao Zhongyu's heart sank by three points, and then he opened Zhao Song's letter, and his heart sank even more.

   Zhao Hao expressed his anger, and his words were a little too straightforward, not as tactful as before.

He first talked about rent-free, and then said: Tan Zhong can't make up his mind, he still needs to write a letter to inquire with you, but this trip is a ten-day period. If the road is difficult and the messenger is killed, this letter may last a lifetime. If it can't be delivered, do the affairs of the clan, no matter how big or small, have to wait for you to decide before they can be resolved?

  You don't see the disappointment in the eyes of the clan tenants, let's pay it back once. After a long time, what prestige does the clan chief's lineage have in the clan?

  If the clan leader does not have the ability to lead, the virtue of benevolence, and the attitude of tolerance, how can the clan members be attached?

  If the clan tenants cannot be attached, how can the clan survive?

   Then he started talking about Zhao Changyu, touting how the whole clan forged ahead when he was the patriarch, how strong the cohesion of the patriarch's lineage was, and finally couldn't help but praise Zhao Hanzhang, Sanniang has a big brother style, but unfortunately he is not a man.

   stabbed Zhao Zhongyu again, "If you are really worried about leaving the clan affairs behind, why not let Dalang return to his hometown, it is better than leaving it to his staff who can't make a decision."

  The great man Zhao Song mentioned was Zhao Yi, the grandson of Zhao Zhongyu. He was the same age as Sanniang and was a few months older. Of course, Zhao Song did not think Zhao Zhongyu would let Zhao Yi return to Xiping.

   He wrote it on purpose to stimulate Zhao Zhongyu.

  You can see that Sanniang can be the head of the family now. Dalang is a few months older than Sanniang, but he is still under the protection of his grandfather.

   However, at this moment, Zhao Zhongyu was thinking seriously about Zhao Yi's return to his hometown.

   He was thinking about it when Zhao Ji stepped in quickly, "Father, the army has returned to Luoyang."

   Zhao Zhongyu's eyes brightened when he heard it, "Where did the news come from?"

   "The commander came back to report the victory just now, and the person who came to invite my father should already be on the way."

   The voice just fell, and there was a sound of armors colliding outside, and a captain came to invite Zhao Zhongyu, "Zhao Shangshu, Your Majesty has a request."

   Zhao Zhongyu put away the two letters, stood up while responding, and asked, "I heard that there was a great victory in the imperial court?"

   "Yes," the lieutenant couldn't help but smile, "General Cao has led the army into Luoyang, clearing the skirmishers along the way, I will be able to return to Luoyang in a few days."

   Colonel was right, the emperor invited Zhao Zhongyu to discuss the matter of returning to Luoyang.

   Of course not only him, but also many ministers. The King of Donghai said on the spot that they could go back in ten days at the latest.

   In other words, he was already winning the battle of Luoyang.

   It’s been four months since they left Luoyang, and everyone is exhausted. If they can go back…

   Zhao Zhongyu began to write when he returned to his residence. He told Tan Zhong to let him come back, and the property was still left to the clan to take care of.

   Then started to write about the misunderstanding between him and Sanniang with Zhao Song, hoping that he could take care of Sanniang more and resolve the grievances between the two families.

   In the middle, he rewrote his embarrassment in the court and told him that the court was about to return to Beijing…

At the end of the writing, Zhao Zhongyu paused, but still said: "The ancestral property is used for worshiping the ancestors, and most of the family property is reserved for the construction of the clan's Wubao, which cannot be moved. I have some private property under my name. I know when Sanniang returned home. It's hard for me to leave my luggage behind, and I may not have much private property, but after the summer harvest, I have some balance, so I will give the balance to Sanniang, so that they can live a little more..."

  It takes time to get a letter back and forth. Of course Zhao Hanzhang will not wait for Zhao Zhongyu's letter in the dock. She has a lot of things to do.

  So after inspecting her property, she took Fu Tinghan into Xiping County. The two of them looked at the luxury items in the county, and they felt similar to Shangcai's.

   Seeing the blacksmith shop, Zhao Hanzhang took Fu Tinghan in.

  The iron shop is full of various sickles, kitchen knives, hoes, plow blades…

  Fu Tinghan searched for a long time before he saw a few swords in a basket hanging on the edge of a pillar. He stepped forward and carefully pulled out one, "Don't you have a sword?"

"I want to fix a gun," Zhao Hanzhang flicked the sword in his hand, listened to the sound, saw the sharpness, felt that the iron was not good enough, and retracted her hand in disappointment, "I also want to look at the farm tools, the wheat has been collected, The next step is to plant beans, and I want to see if I can improve the tools to make them more efficient."

  Fu Tinghan had studied history in junior high and high school, but there was not much memory left, so he followed Zhao Hanzhang silently.

The blacksmith was also very proud. When he saw them entering the shop, he let them watch and struck iron on his own. When Zhao Hanzhang was disappointed and wanted to leave, he threw the iron billet into the fire and wiped the sweat on his neck with a towel. Said: "This city has only one iron shop in my house. If you don't buy it here, you won't be able to buy it."

   is so arrogant.

   Zhao Hanzhang stopped, raised his eyebrows and asked, "You're not the only blacksmith in Xiping, right?"

   "Yes, I'm the only blacksmith. Even Zhao Shiwubao came to me for farming tools. Whether you want to buy gun heads or farm tools, you have to come to me."

   Zhao Hanzhang drew a sword and stepped forward and asked, "Is there any better craftsmanship than this?"

  The blacksmith stepped forward and touched the sword and said, "Yes, yes, but it's expensive. It takes several more trips."

   "Money is not a problem," Zhao Hanzhang said while pointing his sword: "But your craftsmanship must be worthy of the money I give you."

   The blacksmith looked at Zhao Hanzhang seriously and asked, "Does the girl only want the gun head?"

   Zhao Hanzhang took out the gold piece from his purse and put it on the table, and said with a smile: "You first type out the gun head for me. If it's good, it's not just the gun head, but if it's not good..."

   Zhao Hanzhang said: "My surname is Zhao, just return the gold piece to Zhao's Fortress."

  The blacksmith didn't dare to take it lightly when he heard it. He glanced at the gold piece, hesitated for a moment, and then put it away, "I don't know which room the girl is from? How can I send the gun head out?"

   "I'm from the big house. I'll take out the gun and send it to the fifth master of Wubao. I'll send someone to the house to pick it up."
