Martial Sage

Qingzhou.

White walls and blue tiles, surrounded by corridors, connected by bridges.

There are artificial landscapes and water pavilions, and pavilions surrounding the pool. The residence to receive Tang Hao is not a big one, but the layout is compact, small and exquisite.

The morning light passed through the treetops, shone down, and cast on Tang Hao's face.

Squinting to see the location of the hot sun, Tang Hao stretched and looked at Li Zhi, who was sleepy and stumbling.

"Okay, hurry up and wash, we're going to do our business today, don't linger."

Hearing that he was doing business, Li Zhi suddenly became energetic, rubbed his eyes, and rushed to Tang Hao.

"But did you think of a way?"

Tang Hao clapped his hands, looked up at the sky, standing with his hands behind him, looking like an expert.

"Yes! We are going to borrow food."

Li Zhi still believed in Tang Hao as always, roared in excitement, and happily ran to wash.

Watching Li Zhi's back disappear in the corridor, Zhao Limin slowly walked up, stood side by side with Tang Hao, and looked at Tang Hao with a hint of doubt.

"Excuse me for talking, where is Lord Hou going to borrow food from?"

"In the land of Qingzhou, most of the grain has been put into the warehouse, and the rest of the big households also use Qifeng, and the head of the horse is looking forward."

"Don't look at Xiaoxiao Qingzhou, Lord Hou is a grain that the court orders cannot collect, but Qi Feng's few words can enable these big households to offer grain with their hands."

The so-called mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the monkey is called the king.

What Zhao Limin said, Tang Hao had already thought of it.

Turning his head slightly, looking at the old man beside him, Tang Hao said.

"Dare to ask Master Zhao, in the surrounding states and counties, what is the nature of the governors?"

Zhao Limin spread out his palms, broke his fingers, and came one by one.

"The surrounding Dazhou counties are divided into four states according to the first year of Zhenguan."

"The governor of Dgunzhou is greedy for money and profit, but he takes it in a proper way, likes to resell it, and is rich. The governor of Yuzhou has a clean and honest life, has a noble character, a solid family, and is quite generous."

"As for the governor of Xuzhou, I heard that this man had a group of wives and concubines, and he was so romantic, but he was just and rigorous in the decision of the case."

With a few words, the images of these provincial governors came alive and were engraved in Tang Hao's mind.

In detail, these governors are all inextricably linked with money.

With these, Tang Hao can be regarded as having a bottom line. Pat Zhao Limin on the shoulder, cupped hands said.

"Thanks to Mrs. Zhao, this matter is done, and Tang will definitely invite you to have a drink."

As he spoke, Li Zhi rushed over, before the water droplets on Bai Jing's face were dry, he urged him urgently.

"Go, where shall we borrow food?"

"It's not too late, the people of Qingzhou are still waiting for our rescue."

Tang Hao patted Li Zhi on the shoulder and said.

"Go! Let's go to Yuzhou first."

While they were talking, the two of them had already walked to the gate of the mansion courtyard, instructed good guards to guard the courtyard and take care of Zhao Limin, then waved their hands to Wu Tong and went forward together.

Standing by the threshold of the palace hall, Zhao Limin sighed deeply as he looked at the smiling faces of the two.

"You guys! I'm still young! If you sway out of the city like this, you will definitely find the traces of Qingzhou's eyeliner!"

...

At the gate of Qingzhou, the guardian soldier watched Tang Hao's carriage slowly drive out, and whispered a few words to the soldiers beside him.

The soldier flew down the city, stepped on the horse, and headed towards the Yicang.

In the hall, Qi Feng was holding a cup and sipping the fermented fermented wine, his fat hand wandering around the waist of the dancing girl beside him unscrupulously.

The soldiers rushed in, kneeling hurriedly.

"My lord, it's not good."

Qi Feng raised his eyebrows and pulled out his hand impatiently, pushing away the dancer next to him, looking at the soldiers in the hall.

"What's the matter."

The soldier raised his head slightly, respectfully cupped hands.

"Tang Hao took his two subordinates and left the city."

"It should be to borrow food."

At the table, the plump figure choked, the cup that was handed to his mouth slowly lowered, and he glanced at the soldier in confusion.

"Why are you sure they are going to borrow food?"

Hearing this, the soldier frowned slightly, a touch of confusion floated on his face.

"On their carriage, there is a blank notice with a few big characters written on it."

"The imperial court commander, borrowing food for disaster relief, passing by here, forgive me."

There are quite a few borrowers, and it is the first time Qi Feng has heard of such high-profile borrowing.

After playing with the wine glass for a long time, Qi Feng couldn't guess what Tang Hao meant, waved his hand slightly, and said.

"I see, you go."

After the soldiers left, the soldiers next to Qi Feng walked out slowly, glanced at the distant back of the soldiers, and then turned his head.

"My lord, could it be that we took Wei Wang's order and the whole city banned the parking of grain, so Tang Hao turned to the nearby counties?"

"This is written with a slogan, but why?"

A cold look flashed in Qi Feng's eyes, staring at half of the fermented wine in the cup, and smiled contemptuously.

"Pretending to be, it's just asking the people for pity."

"With just a few pitiful words, I want to buy the hearts of these people and follow myself to ask for food from the local governor? It's just a dream."

"Then how can Tang Hao see through the minds of these untouchables while living in the palace? Who wants to help with such a difficult and unpleasant thing without money."

The guard laughed coldly and echoed.

"It's really young, there are some things that need to be tempered."

Slowly leaning on the back of the chair, Qi Feng raised a mass of meat on his plump face, looking treacherous and cunning.

"Follow up and see where he is going."

"If we want to ask for food from the governors of the surrounding states and counties, we will buy it back at twice the price."

"This kid is too strong in the imperial city. Now in Qingzhou, I want him to wake up and realize who is the overlord of Qingzhou."
