He replied cautiously: "The relief grains have been distributed to ensure that every household receives enough grain to guarantee the autumn harvest. We are still doing the thorough investigation you mentioned. Most of the people who participated in the rebellion have returned to the village. Although They are still very wary, but because the yamen has never brought them to trial, they are still relatively stable."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded, "Give them some peace of mind, and when the autumn harvest is over, they will be at peace."

Zhao Kuan continued: "We followed the data given by Ting Han and found many hidden houses."

He paused and then asked: "Do you want to invite those people to ask questions?"

Zhao Hanzhang shook his head, "This matter is not urgent. The biggest conflict now is not the problem of hiding people, but the survival of the people. As long as they can live, I don't mind them becoming hidden people."

She raised her chin slightly and said: "One day, I will let them come out of the darkness willingly and live under the sun. By then, no matter how much someone blocks it, hiding in the house will be the main problem."

Zhao Kuan breathed a sigh of relief quietly. These are troubled times, and the problem of hidden households is widespread. Many people rely on the local nobles for survival. At this time, an investigation will not only offend the nobles, but also push the hidden people into a desperate situation. It is also disadvantageous for them. Zhao Hanzhang can get over this problem first, and he agrees with it.

"There are only three goals in Gaoyang County now, which are to stabilize the people's hearts, encourage farmers to teach and develop education," Zhao Hanzhang said: "I will give you the right to do so. You and Brother Hui have experience in Shangcai, so you should be able to Can you do it?”

Zhao Kuan said seriously: "I will do my best."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded and said, "If you have any difficulties, just tell me. I'm not in Xiping, so you can just tell Mr. Ji."

Zhao Kuan agreed, and then began to ask for things from Zhao Hanzhang, "...you also know that everything has just begun in Aoyang. Although relief food has been given, there are still many idle people. If they can be used, not only can To calm people’s minds, we can also take the opportunity to build roads and dig ditches, which will also be beneficial to next year’s farming.”

Zhao Hanzhang felt that this scene was very familiar, very much like himself facing his fifth uncle and Zhao Ming.

But she only had a headache and agreed, but cut the amount he reported in half, "Brother Kuan, I am not the magistrate of one county now, but the county magistrate and landlord of ten counties." There is no food left at home, so you have to learn how to make money for the county government on your own."

Zhao Kuan: ...That's not what he said when he was asked to be the magistrate of Aoyang County. It was agreed that she would do everything she could to help him...

Zhao Kuan glanced at Zhao Hanzhang resentfully, and Zhao Hanzhang also looked back with clear eyes. She seemed to understand his unspoken words. After thinking about it, she felt that she could not be too ruthless, so she showed a gentle smile and said to Zhao Kuan sincerely: "Kuan My clan brother was also considerate and considerate of me. Before taking over Runan County, I really didn’t know that the situation in each county was so bad. This is my fault."

She sighed deeply and said: "You were here yesterday and listened to the situation in each county with me. How could you be indifferent? Originally there were only three counties: Xiping, Shangcai and Aoyang. No matter how difficult it is, I can still support you. , but now seven counties have been added at once, and the situation in each county is not very good. I... am also very difficult!"

Facing Zhao Hanzhang's pleading eyes, Zhao Kuan softened his heart. He nodded and said, "I know, don't worry, third sister, I will take care of Ai Yang."

Zhao Hanzhang said: "Of course, if brother is in trouble, just write to me and tell me, but I will not shirk away if I can help."

Zhao Kuan was in a better mood, and at the same time he felt like he was cared for and valued by his superior. He nodded in agreement, saying that he would do his best and live up to her.

After seeing off Zhao Kuan, Zhao Hanzhang finally finished her work for the day. She turned around and walked to the backyard. All the officials in the government office had gone to work. There was no one except the officials on duty. The entire county government office was quiet.

The lights came on in Fu Tinghan's office, and Zhao Hanzhang walked over.

Chang Ning was in his room. The two of them were sitting face to face, sorting out the documents on the table. When they heard a noise, Chang Ning turned around and saw that it was Zhao Hanzhang. He stood up and saluted, "Jun Cheng."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded slightly and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Fu Dalang is handing over to me." Fu Tinghan wants to follow Zhao Hanzhang out. Because there are seven counties to leave, no one knows when he will come back, so some of the things he is doing need to be handed over to Chang Ning.

Zhao Hanzhang just remembered something, "Yes, I am the county magistrate now. Although I can also serve as the magistrate of Xiping County, it is really unnecessary."

She said: "I have to handle the affairs of the county magistrate's office, and you are mainly responsible for Xiping County. Well, from today on, Master Chang will be promoted to the county magistrate."

Registrar Chang: "...can the girl directly appoint the county magistrate?"

According to the procedure, shouldn't it be written to the imperial court and decided only after review by the Ministry of Personnel?

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and said: "Now that there is a melee in Luoyang, we have been cut off from the imperial court. Even if we submit a letter, it is not that fast. It is a cheap trick. I can still do this. I will give you the letter of appointment tomorrow."

Chang Ning looked at Zhao Hanzhang blankly, and his heart was agitated. He actually... was promoted to the county magistrate just like this?

Chang Ning suddenly remembered and said with a troubled face: "Girl, I, I... have never participated in the ordering..."

Zhao Hanzhang said: "I appoint people on their merits, regardless of their family background, or whether they are qualified or not. I don't care what they are like elsewhere, but in my Runan County, talents need to take examinations to become officials in the future. I will issue relevant policies in the future."

Speaking of this, Zhao Hanzhang sighed, "It's a pity that the children in the school are still too young, otherwise it would be best to use them."

Fu Tinghan raised his head and glanced at her, and said to Chang Ning: "After we leave, the school must be run well and the students should be urged to study hard."

He said meaningfully: "The children inside are our future."

Zhao Hanzhang also nodded and said to Chang Ning, who was still a little excited: "Yes, the children there are our future. If you have anything you can't decide, just go to Mr. Ji."

Zhao Hanzhang raised his hand to salute Chang Ning and said solemnly: "County Magistrate Chang, Xiping County will be entrusted to you from now on."

Chang Ning's eyes were slightly red, and he quickly bowed and saluted, almost to the end. He lowered his head and said, "I am willing to smear my life for this girl!"

Of course Chang Ning knew how important the school was. The children there relied on Zhao Hanzhang for food, housing and education, and the teachers were basically the children of the Zhao family.

They naturally had a good impression of Zhao Hanzhang and the Zhao family, especially since Ji Yuan went to teach them every now and then and mentioned what Zhao Hanzhang had done for them. Now, every child in the school regarded Zhao Hanzhang as the reincarnation of Bodhisattva. , I am afraid that no one can replace Zhao Hanzhang except their loved ones.
