Wei and Jin cooks

Chapter 173 Invitation (1 more reward for book friend "Snowflake")

Zhao Hanzhang raised his eyebrows and motioned for him to continue.

Ji Yuan said: "I think the girl's idea is very good. Chang Ning is indeed a useful person."

Chang Ning suggested that Magistrate Chaixian purchase grain in advance in order to stabilize prices in the coming year.

Zhao Hanzhang glanced at the piece, "This is..."

"Oh, when we were in the county town as hostages, I made good friends with two or three county officials. They were willing to tell me any news they had." Ji Yuan said calmly: "This is the news I just received. ."

Zhao Hanzhang gave Ji Yuan a thumbs up.

Although it was the first time Ji Yuan saw this gesture, he miraculously understood it, and he raised his chin proudly.

The two looked at each other and smiled like foxes.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "Sir, are you acting as a lobbyist?"

Ji Yuan thought for a while and then shook his head, "I'm not suitable."

He said: "When we were in the county seat, the two of us were at odds with each other and were very unhappy. He was afraid that he had a grudge against me. Moreover, there is a more suitable person now."

"who?"

"Young lady," Ji Yuan said, "Is there anyone more suitable to persuade him than you?"

When Zhao Hanzhang thought about it, it turned out that it was true that the boss always seemed more sincere when he invited people in person.

She said: "Let Zhao Ju take the people to escort the food and grass back first. I will stay for two more days."

Ji Yuan responded with a smile.

This time they bought a lot of food, and part of it was also collected by the manor. As a result, the force of less than 3,000 soldiers and horses stretched even longer. The food was basically transported to Xiping on carts and poles. .

Seeing the victims on the road, they first subconsciously ran into the wilderness and woods. After running for a while, they found that no one came to catch them, and then they emerged again. When they saw them pushing so many trolleys and carrying so many burdens, they couldn't help but He walked up to me and asked, "Hey, brother, what did you pick?"

The soldier glanced at them and said proudly: "Our military rations!"

As soon as the victims heard this, they couldn't help but follow them. They didn't realize until they were outside Xiping City that they seemed to have gone astray. They originally wanted to go to Luoyang to seek help.

Ordinary people didn't know that there was another war in Luoyang. They just thought that Luoyang was at the feet of the emperor and where the emperor lived, so it was naturally safe and wealthy.

This year, taxes have increased again. They can no longer survive in their hometown and can only go to places where they can survive.

But just after leaving two counties, they followed the route to Xiping.

The refugees were in a dilemma. They wanted to turn around and go to Luoyang, but also wanted to go to Xiping County to have a look. What if they found a way to survive here?

Seeing the carts of food, some strong men couldn't help but step forward and ask the soldiers walking behind, "Do you, general, still want to recruit people? I am very strong and can fight. Just give me food." "

"We have recruited enough." Seeing the disappointment on the other side's face, the soldier paused and said: "This time we went to Aoyang and more than a hundred people died. We may need to make up for it. Why don't you go to the county government and ask, maybe we can recruit more people." Woolen cloth?"

When the other party heard this, he immediately thanked him and followed him into the county seat.

Others nearby also heard it, and everyone immediately followed and rushed into Xiping County.

Fu Tinghan, who was standing at the gate of the county government office, did not wait for Zhao Hanzhang, but instead waited for waves of refugees.

Fu Tinghan:......

Ji Ping came to report, "The lady has to stay in Shangcai for two more days, and she also has to pick up the wife, so Xiping has to trouble the husband."

Fu Tinghan asked: "Where is Erlang?"

"Erlangjun is still in the army, and the owner of the building led them to settle down." Ji Ping said: "This time the girl bought a lot of food, and the food needs to be put into the warehouse and recorded."

Refugees came in large numbers and crowded at the gate of the county government office. They grabbed a government official and asked, "Are you still recruiting troops? Look at me, I am very strong."

"You are as thin as a bamboo pole, how can you have any strength?" A refugee nearby took off his shirt and showed the government servant his arms. "Look at me, I am strong. Take me."

"He eats more, and I eat less. Lord, accept me."

The yamen servants were stunned and subconsciously looked back at Fu Tinghan who was standing at the door.

The refugees followed his gaze and saw the rich and handsome Fu Tinghan. They subconsciously felt that he was the one in charge and immediately rushed forward.

Ji Ping immediately stood in front of Fu Tinghan, with his sword half out of its sheath, and shouted: "Bold, if you don't retreat quickly, how can you, Mr. Lang, challenge you?"

In fact, there was no need for him to yell and scold. When they met Fu Tinghan's cold gaze, everyone did not dare to rush forward too much. They knelt down and kowtowed three steps away from him, "Mr. Lang, please accept me. I can fight."

Fu Tinghan scanned a circle of people who were cheering and kneeling, called two government officials and said: "Let them line up to register, and ask them where they came from and their names."

"Lang Jun, we don't have much paper anymore."

Fu Tinghan sighed and said, "Let someone borrow some from Zhao's Wubao, and then someone can go out and buy some."

He must speed up the paper making process. Where is the person who promised to make paper for him?

The man who promised to make paper for him was sitting on the second floor of the restaurant drinking, looking at the street scene below and waiting for someone.

As soon as Zhao Hanzhang's men left, Magistrate Chai felt relieved and paid less attention to the Zhao family's manor, so he didn't know that Zhao Hanzhang had not followed him.

There are not many affairs in the county, let alone Shangcai County, which is managed by Magistrate Chai. There are even fewer county affairs. Most of the affairs are handled at the Li Zheng stage.

So Chang Ning is also free.

He hesitated for a while when he received the privately delivered letter from Zhao Hanzhang, and finally left the county office and quietly came to the restaurant to meet someone.

This restaurant is not big, located on the corner of the street, and the business is very average, so Zhao Hanzhang directly booked the entire restaurant.

Whether she or Chang Ning came, they were not afraid of being seen.

But Chang Ning still admired her boldness in meeting Magistrate Chai's staff in Shangcai County. Once this matter reached Magistrate Chai's ears, there would definitely be a rift between Zhao Hanzhang and Magistrate Chai. Of course, he and Magistrate Chai The magistrates of Chai County were even more suspicious.

But now they are not very harmonious, and he has decided to find an opportunity to resign and go home, so Chang Ning doesn't care so much whether his doubts are deeper.

Chang Ning came calmly, and Zhao Hanzhang also received him calmly.

"Mr. Chang, please sit down." Zhao Hanzhang stood up to greet him and heated the wine himself. "This is the wine that my father buried twelve years ago. I am happy today, so I dug out a jar and invited you to drink together."

Chang Ning looked at Zhao Hanzhang in surprise. The meaning of this wine was not small. He quickly held the wine glass with both hands and looked at the wine in the glass. After a while, he smiled bitterly and said: "Miss Zhao, if you have something to say, why don't you say it directly, otherwise I won't drink this wine." Dare to speak."

This wine is too expensive. If he guessed correctly, this should be the wine that Zhao Zhi buried for Zhao Erlang.

Zhao Hanzhang also put down his wine glass, sat upright and said: "Hanzhang, please come and ask sir to help me."

Chang Ning looked at her in confusion, why would she be helping her?

Zhao Hanzhang said with a serious face: "Hanzhang still lacks a staff member. I would like to ask Mr. to advise me."

When Chang Ning heard this, he immediately asked: "Ji Yuan abandoned you?"

Ji Yuan raised his eyes: "What do you think?"

See you tomorrow
