Wei and Jin cooks

Neither Zhao Hanzhang nor Zhao Ming knew that Luoyang was in danger at this time, and so was the Jin Dynasty.

The King of East China Sea and Gou Xi fought fiercely. Gou Xi was considered a military genius. He won more than he lost on the battlefield, but King Donghai was so powerful that after several months of fighting, he still couldn't do anything to him.

Gou Xi was so powerful that the King of East China Sea could neither weaken his troops nor destroy his prestige, but instead beat himself to exhaustion;

Since King Donghai was powerful and had the emperor in his hands, Gou Xi was able to defeat his army and was unable to seize the territory at all, let alone break into Luoyang to "rescue" the emperor.

Therefore, the two armies have been fighting for two months. Apart from consuming a lot of food, grass and soldiers, and making the affected people even more impoverished, it has no use.

Liu Yuan watched with cold eyes for two months. Seeing that they seemed tired and wanted to cease fighting, he immediately took the opportunity to send his army south and headed straight for Luoyang.

The King of Donghai, who had been beaten down by Gou Xi and had no fighting spirit, was suddenly stolen from his home. He was anxious and angry, and fell ill immediately.

The coach was ill, and the control of the battle ahead was not so strict. The Jin army was retreating steadily under the Huns' cavalry.

Gou Xi took advantage of the situation to seize the territory of King Donghai, and also pushed all the way to Luoyang. Seeing that Luoyang was about to be defeated by the Xiongnu army, Wang Yan, who had been watching from the sidelines, finally couldn't help but come forward to exhort him. The ministers in the court finally became tough and started to defend him. The two made peace.

The battle between King Donghai and Gou Xi was temporarily suspended. Liu Kun, who had been shouting in Bingzhou for two months, almost cried to death in his hut. They finally agreed to a truce!

Liu Kun couldn't wait for them to slowly make peace, so he immediately wrote back to the court, hoping that King Donghai and Gou Xi could form an alliance on the spot and attack Liu Yuan from both sides, preferably back to Bingzhou...

However, this is impossible.

The cracked glass will still have traces no matter how hard it is glued. The rift between Donghai Wang and Gou Xi cannot be repaired, and naturally they cannot cooperate.

Although they were temporarily facing the outside, Gou Xi did not take the initiative to attack the Xiongnu army. Instead, he sent troops to the border of Yuzhou and watched Liu Yuan's army approaching Luoyang step by step.

King Donghai was feeling aggrieved, and the emperor had always wanted him to get out of the way and let Gou Xi lead the army to Beijing. He said it was to defend Luoyang and repel the Huns, but who knows if it was to deal with him?

Therefore, the King of Donghai was discouraged and neglected to fight. Under such circumstances, the Jin army retreated steadily.

The emperor had to announce to the world and order the soldiers and horses from all over the world to come to serve the king.

The governors of various states have received the imperial edict, but few are willing to lead troops there.

The governor of Yuzhou, which was closest to Luoyang, also hesitated to go. His reason was very good. "The Huns army has already arrived in Yuzhou. I must protect Yuzhou."

Because of the war, news was cut off, and it took a long time for news to come out from Luoyang. Therefore, Zhao Hanzhang did not know that Luoyang was in such a critical situation at first. It was only after Zhao Ming received the letter from Zhao Zhongyu that he realized that Runan County was in chaos.

At this time, it was the eve of Zhao Hanzhang's birthday, and magistrates from various counties had arrived in Xiping one after another, waiting to see Zhao Hanzhang.

After Zhao Ming read the letter, he asked Zhao Hanzhang to be found and showed the letter to her directly.

Zhao Hanzhang finished reading in a daze, raised his head and looked at Zhao Ming, thinking carefully: "Uncle, do you think this is my opportunity?"

Zhao Ming: "...I didn't say anything."

Zhao Hanzhang sat cross-legged opposite him and said seriously: "Uncle, time waits for no one. I have decided to station the army in each county and directly take over the affairs of each county."

Zhao Ming: ...He wanted her to work hard, but he didn't want her to work so hard.

Zhao Ming: "You have only taken charge of three counties now, and suddenly you are attacking seven counties. Do you know how dangerous it is?"

Zhao Hanzhang raised his lips and smiled, "But uncle, don't forget, I am the county magistrate of Runan County now, and it is only natural for me to take over the county."

Zhao Ming choked and asked, "Do you want to replace the county magistrates?"

Zhao Hanzhang shook his head, "No, as long as they are not openly against me or against me, I do not plan to change the county magistrate in the short term."

Zhao Ming nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, let's do it."

Zhao Hanzhang smiled, stood up and saluted him, "Thank you uncle for your help."

Without saying what he had done to help her, Zhao Ming did not shy away and accepted her gift.

This matter was so important that Zhao Hanzhang ran directly back to find Ji Yuan and Fu Tinghan.

Fu Tinghan had no reaction, but Ji Yuan was so excited that he circled around and said, "This way, the girl will have more resources available."

He asked: "We will be preparing for the autumn harvest in one month. When the autumn tax comes..."

Zhao Hanzhang: "I'll collect it. I won't hand it over to Yuzhou."

Ji Yuan raised his lips, "Right now, Governor He has too much time to take care of himself. If you can really control the other seven counties, he really can't do anything to you. Then the military rations promised to him..."

Zhao Hanzhang sighed and said: "Continue to raise funds and send him a batch in two days. It's hard to go back on what has been promised. Besides, it was Uncle Ming who made the promise. We can't let him break his promise."

Seeing her insistence, Ji Yuan could only nod.

Fu Tinghan asked: "Do you need me to help you integrate information?"

Zhao Hanzhang nodded immediately, "Yes, yes, in addition to integrating the information of each county magistrate, I also want you to accompany me to visit each county, and then all the information of each county will be digitized."

Fu Tinghan's brain is very useful. He can digitize the information about Xiping, Shangcai and Aoyang, and many things can be understood at a glance.

Whatever she wants to do, she can just look at the data and know how to do it.

Ji Yuan only came into contact with Fu Tinghan's digitized Ai Yang during this period. To be honest, he was really shocked.

After he recognized those numbers, he could see from them the population, acres of land, and even the tax emphasis of a county, all in a few tables, which was... scary.

Faced with those data, Zhao Hanzhang directly decided to raise Qianbubu in Aoyang, and all subsequent decisions were based on the data.

Only at this moment did Ji Yuan know why Zhao Hanzhang insisted on teaching arithmetic in the school. Learning arithmetic well was really a powerful tool.

Ji Yuan looked at the two of them with a smile, and said gently: "Da Langjun, the girl's hairpin ceremony is coming soon, have you prepared any gifts?"

Fu Tinghan looked at Zhao Hanzhang.

Zhao Hanzhang also looked at Fu Tinghan.

Coincidentally, the birthday of little girl Zhao Hezhen is also Zhao Hanzhang's lunar birthday, and her family has always celebrated her lunar birthday.

Fu Tinghan also knew this, so he nodded and said: "Ready." But he didn't know whether this was her twenty-ninth birthday or her fifteenth birthday.

Zhao Hanzhang was curious, "What is it?"

Fu Tinghan was about to get her a gift, and Ji Yuan hurriedly said: "The day has not come yet, why should the girl be in a hurry to see it?"

He winked at Fu Tinghan and asked him to find an opportunity in private before giving it to Zhao Hanzhang.

Fu Tinghan stopped, looked back at Zhao Hanzhang and nodded, okay, I'll give it to you later.
