Wei and Jin cooks

Zhao Ming's letter did not tell Zhao Zhongyu that it was Zhao Hanzhang who wanted to buy the horse. He only said that Zhao's Wubao needed to protect itself, so he needed to buy horses.

Zhao Zhongyu did not hesitate. Although raising private soldiers was tantamount to treason, and the tribe they supported had already exceeded the rules of etiquette, under such a chaotic situation, the family could not be saved without sufficient force.

So he immediately wrote two letters, one of which was a letter of introduction to Liu Kun. Zhao's people could use this letter to go to Bingzhou to find Liu Kun.

In addition, Zhao Zhongyu also exchanged information with Zhao Ming. Now that the Xiongnu went south, people's livelihood was difficult, and it was difficult for even their aristocratic family to survive alone. Zhao Zhongyu hoped that they would hoard more grain, gold, silver, and cloth in case anything happened. , they also leave cheaply.

Because Liu Yuan attacked Luoyang, someone in the court proposed moving the capital to Chang'an.

Oh, the King of Donghai has successfully captured Jingzhao County, and now Chang'an is under his control. However, the people in Jingzhao County have also fled, and its desolation is comparable to that of Bingzhou.

Therefore, some ministers in the court proposed to move the capital to Nanyang. First, because Jingzhao County has been devastated by war in recent years and the people have been displaced; second, because it is too close to Jiehu, and the ministers always feel unsafe.

The emperor also wanted to move the capital, but the King of Donghai refused, so there was a stalemate.

But Zhao Zhongyu had considered in his mind that with Liu Yuan's offensive, if they could not defend Luoyang, they would most likely move the capital, and Nanyang was more likely to be chosen than Chang'an.

If the capital is moved to Nanyang, it will be much closer to Runan County, which will also be a good thing for the Zhao family.

Zhao Hanzhang didn't think this was a good thing at all. Of course, she didn't know about it at this time because Zhao Ming hadn't received the letter.

At this moment, she was sitting in a restaurant not far from the city gate, looking down at Du Zhang and the other three men in prison uniforms moving stones.

"They came in and out, but they didn't run away?"

Qiu Wu reported: "There is no sign of wanting to run away at all. He is so honest. If I ask them to carry bricks, they will never carry water."

Zhao Hanzhang also breathed a sigh of relief, "Forget it if you don't run away, just stay. Arrange some more work for them in the past two days. If you are sure you really don't want to run away, arrange to do clerical work in the county government."

She sighed: "We are short of officials who can read."

"By the way, have you found the place I asked you to find?"

"We've found it. According to your instructions, it needs to be not far from the county seat, not to encroach on fertile land, and a place with abundant water and grass." Qiu Wu pointed in a direction and said: "That's where you saw the short building. Is it a short mountain?"

"I see, Xipingshan is small, there are just a few small hills outside, can I not see it?"

Qiu Wu said: "There is a river crossing there, but it is mostly raw soil and very little mature soil. In addition, there are some wastelands, so the grass grows very high, so that area is very suitable."

Zhao Hanzhang: "Aren't there any fields being cultivated?"

"Yes, but if it is enclosed, this area will take up the least, and other places will occupy a lot of farmland."

Zhao Hanzhang asked, "Do those fields belong to big families or small families?"

Qiu Wu then lowered his voice and said: "It belongs to the Seventh Master's family. Even a lot of abandoned wasteland nearby is also in the name of the Seventh Master. Mr. Fu Dalang has circled the land deed. There are nearly one-third of the land there." This place belongs to the seventh master’s family.”

Zhao Hanzhang wanted to raise horses, and the horse farm to be fenced was not small. He originally thought that with so many people missing in Xiping County, it would not be difficult to fence such a piece of land. However, he did not expect that he could fence so much land with owners in a random circle, and it belonged to his relatives.

Zhao Hanzhang thought for a while, stood up and said, "Where's Erlang? Call him here. I'll take him back to meet the elders."

Zhao Erlang had not kowtowed to his fifth uncle and the others before he returned to Xiping.

There was nothing to do today, so Zhao Hanzhang simply took Zhao Erlang back to kowtow.

Zhao Erlang was training troops when he was stopped. He simply waved his hand and led his men back to Wubao.

Zhao Hanzhang glanced at Bubu behind him while riding on his horse, but did not stop him. Instead, he waited until he left the city before asking Zhao Erlang: "Every team and everything has a task. You brought out all your men. If you fail to complete your task today, do you have to make up for it tomorrow, or do you have to be punished?"

Zhao Erlang was stunned and asked: "What mission?"

"The task of rebuilding Xiping. There are many things in Xiping now. Treating the injured, building military camps, building houses, autumn harvest, building bridges, and building roads to relieve the victims. Anyway, there are so many things." Zhao Hanzhang asked: "What, Didn't Uncle Qianli arrange a mission for you when you led the troops this morning?"

"No, Uncle Qianli only asked me to take them out to play and practice like we did at the manor."

"Oh, then Uncle Qianli probably forgot about you group."

Zhao Erlang suddenly became anxious, "No, how could you forget us? When I get back, I will ask Uncle Qianli to take over the task."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded approvingly and said, "If you go and receive the task, you must complete it."

Zhao Erlang patted his chest to express that he would definitely finish it.

The Buqu who followed behind said: ...Actually, they don't have to fight for this face. Oh, this is not a good thing.

The soldiers Zhao Ming chose for Zhao Erlang were all teenagers between the ages of fourteen and seventeen, with the sole intention of letting them play with him. Not to mention working, there were very few requirements for training.

Zhao Hanzhang glanced at the young and energetic teenagers, nodded with satisfaction, lightly kicked the horse's belly, and asked Zhao Erlang to follow.

Zhao Erlang also speeded up, and his men could only run with their own weapons to keep up.

By the time they reached Wubao, all the ten people except Zhao Erlang were panting.

After looking at it, Zhao Hanzhang said: "My physical strength is not good. I can't bear the rush after only two quarters of an hour. What should I do if I run long distances in the future?"

She said: "Starting from tomorrow, you will follow Erlang here every day to help the elders prepare for the morning and dusk."

When the young people heard this, their expressions were dull for a moment, and someone asked in a low voice: "Girl, what does the morning and dusk adjustment mean that we run here in the morning and then run back at night?"

Zhao Hanzhang glanced at them and said: "No, your chief has given you a task. After the morning appointment, you have to go back to the county town to work, and then come back to sleep in the evening."

The teenagers looked at Zhao Erlang with despair.

Zhao Erlang didn't know what was going on, but when he saw that they were all looking at him, he also looked silly at them.

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and touched his head, then led him into Wubao, "Let's go, let's kowtow to the fifth uncle first."

Zhao Hanzhang led Zhao Erlang and kowtowed all the way to find Zhao Hu.

Zhao Hu was half leaning on the mat, with maids on his left and right fanning him, and two maids kneeling in front of him, feeding him snacks and drinks.

The cup is made of transparent glass.

Zhao Hanzhang clicked his tongue twice and led Zhao Erlang forward, "Sanniang pays homage to the seventh uncle. It's so pleasant for the seventh uncle."

See you tomorrow. I must be early tomorrow
