  Chapter 1097 Hard reply letter

  During the renovation of the General’s Mansion, Zhao Hanzhang specially asked people to open up the three rooms to make a study, so their study is very big!

  As soon as you enter the door, you will see a small hall for receiving guests. There is a desk seat at the top, and a wooden screen behind it. On it is a part of the landscape map drawn by Fu Tinghan.

   There are three seats and small desks on the left and right sides of the bottom. She will discuss some official affairs here with her confidantes and staff.

  A wooden couch was placed next to the window behind the three seats, one on the left and one on the left, where they could rest for a while at ordinary times.

  Turn around the big screen, and behind it is a more open place, separated by a long distance, one is directly above, and the other is in the direction facing the right window, each with a large desk, and the light is excellent.

  On the front is Zhao Hanzhang's desk, and under the window is Fu Tinghan's.

  The left half of the room is full of bookshelves, but it is empty at this time, only two bookshelves are scattered with about twenty books.

  Zhao Hanzhang's goal is to fill up these bookshelves one day, otherwise, she wouldn't have made so many bookshelves during the renovation.

  Zhao Hanzhang took out the official documents from the basket. Zhao Yunxin had already done a basic sorting of them, and there were more than 20 letters at the bottom, none of which had been opened.

  Zhao Hanzhang sat on the chair, feeling that it was not easy to use his brain too much just after eating, so he opened a letter casually to read.

  The letter from Bei Gongchun came to wish her a happy new year and a happy wedding, "I have helped Tuoba Liuxiu according to the general's wishes. He is very grateful and sent back a hundred sheep and a hundred cows..."

  Ask Zhao Hanzhang if he wants to send her to Luoyang.

  In the world of ice and snow, how much extra food and manpower will be spent just to drive this little cattle and sheep to Luoyang?

  Zhao Hanzhang declined, and told Bei Gongchun, "The soldiers guarding the territory worked hard. These things sent by Tuoba Liuxiu should be given to the soldiers for extra meals. Fighting for years, let everyone have a good year this year."

   Then he said to Bei Gongchun: "There are many herdsmen in Daiguo, and since Tuoba Liuxiu can afford to send cattle and sheep, why doesn't Bingzhou cooperate with him to buy more cattle and sheep and send them to Central Plains?"

"There is a shortage of meat in the Central Plains. Although the road is covered with ice and snow and the road is difficult, as long as you arrive safely, you can still make a lot of money." Such items are extremely easy to sell."

  She taught Bei Gongjun, "Training troops is important, but ensuring military supplies and governing the people are also very important. Only by making people's lives easier and earning money can money be used to strengthen the army and protect the country."

  I wrote a lot of letters to Bei Gongchun, and then looked at other letters, all of which were written by officials from various places. At the beginning, they wished her a happy new year and a happy wedding, and the latter said everything.

  An official told her that a white deer was found in a forest in their county last month. He thought it was an auspicious sign sent by heaven to congratulate Zhao Hanzhang on his new marriage. He asked if he could personally send the auspicious sign to Luoyang?

Zhao Hanzhang thought for a while, at present there is a shortage of people in the court, and there is really no way to find an official to take the position of the magistrate, and the other party's ability to handle government affairs is not bad, but she likes to please the superior, so she told him, "No need , This auspicious sign is not congratulated by the heavens, but sent by the heavens to help the people when they see the people are poor."

  Zhao Hanzhang asked him to sell this auspicious luck for her, not less than 200,000 yuan, and the proceeds were handed over to the national treasury to help the people.

Zhao Hanzhang also asked him to do a good job, well done, maybe next time God will reward Xiangrui again, this time it was God who saw your kindness and ability, so that He sent Xiangrui to your jurisdiction and borrowed your hand Help the world.

  After writing the letter, Zhao Hanzhang scanned the ten lines at a glance, blew on it, stuffed the letter into the envelope and threw it aside.

Picking up another letter was from Shi Le. After the happy wedding, Shi Le said: "Youzhou is too bitter and cold. I got up this morning to wash my face. When I touched the water, it was icy cold. I splashed the water out of my face. The water freezes before it hits the ground.”

  Because it was too cold, he couldn’t sleep at night, and begged Zhao Hanzhang to take pity on him, allocate some money to buy charcoal for him, and the soldiers, officials and people of Youzhou...

  Zhao Hanzhang rubbed his forehead, threw the letter aside, rummaged through a pile of letters, found Wei Jie's letter, and opened it to read.

Wei Jie told Zhao Hanzhang, "This year Youzhou seems to be cold in previous years. I asked the old farmers. During the same period, Youzhou had three more snowfalls than last year, and only one more than the year before. The old farmers said that this is Ruixue, not decadent. , but happy."

   "It's just too cold, and there is not enough food. Under the hunger and cold, people die every day. The governor sent troops out to deal with the corpses many times, saving many people from hard labor, and allowing the people to freely go in and out of the mountains, forests and wild swamps. It has little effect."

Zhao Hanzhang frowned, thought for a while, and wrote to Shi Le, "Understood, I will send you a sum of money. You can buy food and clothing by yourself. After the spring, remember to teach farming and mulberry, and don't delay the farming season. Sad, I have the cheek to borrow a lot of money and food from others, just to make things easier for you, but begging for others is not as good as asking for yourself. If I can grow more land next year, raise more chickens, ducks and pigs, and plant more mulberry hemp, then I don’t have to worry about it anymore. I'm begging for help."

  Zhao Ming also wrote a letter to Zhao Hanzhang, saying: "The affairs of the family are busy. You are married. After the new year, the weather will be warmer. Please send my father back to Xiping."

  Zhao Ming said, "If you don't send it back, you can only choose one of the acting patriarch and the governor of Yuzhou."

   Zhao Ming is so busy that he can't help getting angry whenever he thinks of Zhao Hanzhang's name.

   Zhao Hanzhang didn't want to answer him for the time being, so he threw his letter into a small wooden tray farthest from her, and picked up another letter casually.

The officials in the letter laughed and told Zhao Hanzhang happily that he had brought back his elder brother’s family and his parents who had fled to the south. He was very happy, so he wrote to Zhao Hanzhang and asked her if there were any Suitable for his brother's official position.

  He said that his brother is very good, but he is a bit old and his thinking is a bit difficult to adapt, so he resolutely refuses to participate in the recruitment examination. He hopes that Zhao Hanzhang can give his brother a chance.

Zhao Hanzhang thought about it, and remembered that this official was a county magistrate in Nanyang County, and he was a very pragmatic person. The most important thing was that he could endure hardships, and he could eat and live with the refugees to gain their trust. It wasn't much worse, so he wrote back and agreed to let his brother come to Luoyang, and she would choose a suitable official position for him after inspection.

Reading letters is very addictive, especially what is written in the letter. A female county magistrate told Zhao Hanzhang that she was also married. Reading and literacy, "I was born in a humble gentry, and I am handsome, and my heart is very happy."

  So the female county magistrate got married to the bandit leader, and took over the bandit by the way. Except for some of them who stayed to enrich the garrison, the rest went to be farmers.

  The female county magistrate shared this happy event with Zhao Hanzhang, hoping to get her blessing.

  Zhao Hanzhang happily blessed her and praised her, "You have done a good job, but don't indulge in beauty and delay political affairs."
