Wei and Jin cooks

Zhao Hanzhang continued to hold his hands and greeted them with a smile, "Hello everyone, please sit down and talk."

She went up and sat down.

Ming Yu stood up and was the first to greet her, "Your Majesty."

Everyone then bowed and said, "Meet the Governor Zhao."

Zhao Hanzhang raised his hand and said, "Without courtesy, please sit down."

Everyone then retreated to their seats and sat down. Some people frowned in discomfort at Zhao Hanzhang's behavior with his hair half-covered, but most people didn't care.

Seeing that no one else expressed their opinions, the uncomfortable person suppressed his words.

At this time, we have to thank Jin for being romantic. Not to mention that she just wears her hair down or comes out naked... They should still feel uncomfortable, but most of them won't say it.

Among the dozen or so people, Chu Kang was the most calm.

There is nothing strange about wearing half-dry hair. At least she is neatly dressed and has good shoes and socks. The governor of Jingzhou is much more unruly than her. He often walks in the governor's mansion, even when meeting guests, he often puts on his clothes. Peel it off and face everyone openly.

The purpose of coming to see Zhao Hanzhang at this time was very clear, so as soon as he sat down, Gengzhou was the first to ask: "May I ask whether Governor Zhao wants to meet with General Gou Dao in battle?"

"No," Zhao Hanzhang said again what she explained to Chu Kang, saying that she had no intention of competing with Gou Xi and that it was all a misunderstanding.

Everyone present, except her staff Ming Yue, did not believe it.

Although he didn't believe it, Gengzhou still followed her words and said: "Since Governor Zhao has no plans to raise troops, why not write a handwritten letter to persuade Governor Wang and Governor Liu to cease the war?"

Zhao Hanzhang agreed and added: "Forget it, Governor Wang. Governor Liu values ​​​​love and justice and will never attack Qingzhou without any reason. To resolve this knot, we still have to ask the imperial court to send envoys to ask them the reason for sending troops. , it would be better to clear up the misunderstanding."

Several people looked at each other and couldn't find anything wrong with what they said. She also said frankly that she would write a letter. Could it be that they had misunderstood and it wasn't Zhao Hanzhang who instigated Wang Jun and Liu Kun to send troops?

After looking at each other, everyone looked at Shanhua.

Shanhua is from Le'an, and Le'an County is in Qingzhou.

Shan Hua already had a guess in his mind, pursed his lips and said: "Gou Chun is cruel and harsh in governing the people, and the people of Qingzhou are miserable. Is it because of this that Liu Governor sent troops to the capital?"

"Then it should be reported to the court for processing. How can we send troops by ourselves?"

"Tsk, report it to the court? Isn't the court now in the hands of the Gou brothers? Do you want Governor Liu to go to Gou Chun and say that you are too cruel and I don't agree with you being the governor, so I want to raise an army to destroy you?"

"Isn't there a general? The general will always restrain Gou Chun?"

"If General Gou Dao could restrain Gou Chun, last year's Yanzhou border chaos would not have happened."

"Okay, okay, stop arguing," Yu Yi hurriedly smoothed things over: "Since Governor Wang and Governor Liu are doing this privately, Governor Zhao only needs to support General Gou, and the matter will be considered resolved. Governor Liu knows the basics. Knowing the righteousness, Governor Wang is also a talented person and will not surrender to Qingzhou."

When Shan Hua heard this, he frowned slightly and felt uneasy. He was sent to persuade Zhao Hanzhang because he was afraid that if Zhao Hanzhang and Gou Xi fought, the world would be in chaos, and Qingzhou would become the first battlefield;

But if Zhao Hanzhang had not led this troop dispatch, she and Gou Xi would not have fought, and the world would not be in chaos. Qingzhou might as well take this opportunity to get rid of Gou Chun's rule.

Gou Chun was so harsh and harsh. In just three months in the second half of last year, he conscripted 8,000 people from Le'an into civilian service and raised their taxes by 30%.

Their family's financial situation was not bad, but other villagers in the village and their tenants couldn't make it together, so they had to sell their sons and daughters. Even so, many families couldn't make up the taxes.

In order to prevent their family from evading taxes, the Shan family could only help bear part of the taxes and at the same time borrow money to tide them over during this period.

Otherwise, if all the villagers and tenants escape, who will farm for them?

But in this way, these taxes are burdening the Shan family, and the Shan family is also in difficulty.

Shan Hua looked around and saw that everyone agreed with this method, so he suppressed it. After everyone discussed it, Zhao Hanzhang promised everyone that after writing the letter, he would ask them to help provide advice, and everyone was willing to leave.

Zhao Hanzhang enthusiastically asked Mingyu to arrange for them to live in the inn, free of charge, and they could stay as long as they wanted, all for free.

Shan Hua followed the others and walked out, falling at the end. His pace gradually slowed down. When they had walked more than ten steps, he immediately turned back.

Zhao Hanzhang put down her hands, put away her face that was almost frozen in laughter, and was about to turn around and go back to the backyard. When she saw Shan Hua turning around, she smiled habitually and asked, "Mr. Shan, is there anything else?"

Shan Hua stepped forward, saluted Zhao Hanzhang solemnly and said, "Please save Qingzhou, Governor Zhao."

Zhao Hanzhang looked at him deeply, and after a moment he turned sideways and said, "Mr. Shan, please tell me inside."

In the end, the letter to the court was drafted by Shanhua on his behalf. His sincerity and compassion made even Zhao Hanzhang, who knew the inside story very well, swayed and became convinced.

Zhao Hanzhang asked Chu Kang and others to read the letter. Everyone thought there was no problem, so Zhao Hanzhang copied a copy and sent it to Yuncheng.

As for the letter to Liu Kun and Wang Jun to persuade them to fight, Zhao Hanzhang wrote it herself. In the letter, she earnestly advised them to talk to them if they have anything to say. If they have any misunderstandings, they can tell them. The imperial court and General Gou will make the decision for them. Everyone is friendly. Just a little bit, don’t hit them easily.

Chu Kang and others read the letter and thought it was OK, so they handed it to the courier together.

The messenger received instructions in the morning, and the letter was to be delivered directly to Zhao Xin and Wei Jie.

Zhao Hanzhang watched the messenger leave, turned around, and invited these scribes to eat together.

You've already come, how can you just do one thing and then leave?

There are thirteen people in total, all of them are literate, knowledgeable and thoughtful, so don’t leave once you’re here.

Fu Tinghan also liked them very much. He took them to his Ministry of Works and eventually became friends with Geng Zhou and Shan Hua. They had unique insights into river management and grain and grass planning.

As for other people, it is difficult to see Fu Tinghan again after meeting him once.

Zhao Hanzhang asked Ji Yuan, Ming Yu, Bei Gongchun, Xie Shi and others to entertain them in turn. Even Zhao Cheng came to take a look and lured Ji Shuyan away. In the end, fewer and fewer people stayed at the inn. There are five left.

Chu Kang and Yu Yi were the key households among them.

But it doesn’t matter, now that they can’t find a suitable position for themselves, isn’t there still Yuzhou?

When the time comes, take them to Uncle Ming for a walk. Maybe they will find what they want to do. For now, they can continue to stay at the inn.

Luoyang is so fun. If you want to play for a while, you can live in the inn. If you don't have money for food, her family will provide food for you. As long as you come to your door, she will invite people to eat.

Zhao Hanzhang is such a polite corporal, Chu Kang and others are not in a hurry to leave, and want to wait here for news from Qingzhou and Yanzhou.

But the news about Jizhou Zu Ti came first.
