Wei and Jin cooks

Before Zhao Hanzhang finished speaking, Wang quickly waved her hands and said: "No, no, I can't do it."

Zhao Hanzhang stopped mentioning it. Although the Wang family was more confident than before, she was still weak to most of the Zhao family members. The rumors in the early years had a great impact on her.

She can now face the Zhao clan with pride, but she still won't take the initiative to get close to them.

The clan members surrounding her now all took the initiative, while the Wang family passively accepted it.

But she didn't accept everything. If her temper was right, she would treat her as a relative. If her temper was wrong, she would find excuses to refuse. Plus, she had a young girl by her side, so no one could make her feel wronged.

With Zhao Hanzhang as her backing, she has the right to be willful at this time.

Zhao Hanzhang was not willing to embarrass her. She had been wronged in interpersonal relationships for many years, but she would not be forced to suffer such grievances now.

So she didn't want to, so Zhao Hanzhang stopped forcing her.

Zhao Hanzhang glanced at the two round tables. She had always tried to participate as little as possible in the internal affairs of the Zhao family. If she needed help from the Zhao family, she would talk directly to Zhao Song and Zhao Ming, using them as a bridge.

She subconsciously excluded herself from the people in charge of the Zhao family. If her mother hadn't reminded her, she might not have noticed that her power and responsibilities towards the Zhao family were out of balance.

The wealthy clan headed by Zhao Hu paid a lot and benefited from her, but ordinary clan members also tried their best to help her.

She knows that the proportion of ordinary people in the country determines the powerful power they possess. How could she forget that ordinary people also make up the majority of the clan?

There are more than 2,000 members of the Zhao family, and there are only a few as wealthy as Zhao Hu.

When making decisions on major clan affairs, other clan members also have the right and responsibility.

Zhao Hanzhang turned and left. He did not talk about the settlement of these tribesmen face to face. Instead, he quietly came to Cheng Bo and said, "Go and find out how many tribesmen like Zhao Wan there are in Beijing, what their strengths are, and what their temperament is like. "

She paused and then said: "Let me ask again, are there people out there who are doing evil in the name of the Zhao family? In the past, I only stared at the big head like the Seventh Uncle, but I forgot that there are many dark places underneath. You and Qing Auntie, one is in charge of the inside and the other is in charge of the outside. Since you are responsible for the outside, please pay more attention to me and my mother."

Uncle Cheng hurriedly bowed in agreement, taking advantage of the crowd today, and immediately went to inquire.

There are many tribesmen like Zhao Wan who came to the capital relying on Zhao Hu, Zhao Song, Zhao Qing, Zhao Dong and others. Most of them work as stewards, accountants or other jobs in their relatives' shops.

Different from modern thinking, you cannot invite relatives when opening a company. In this era, people will rely more on relatives, especially clan relatives.

Managers such as stewards and accountants who needed vision and ability were difficult to choose from slaves, and most of them were held by family members and clan members.

Like Zhao Dong, who came from a good family. After following Zhao Song and Zhao Hu to the capital, he followed Zhao Hu and bought several shops. His son Zhao Kuan was an official and had no time to manage the shops for him. His daughter was also an official. , also no time.

He himself is too busy, and he doesn't have enough capable servants around him, so what should he do?

So he invited his clan relative Zhao Cheng.

Zhao Cheng is just the steward of one of the shops. Except that he is not a slave, his treatment is the same as other stewards.

They signed an employment contract that stipulated each other's rights and responsibilities.

In a large family, there is a very complete set of rules and regulations for appointing relatives, and there is a set of rules that everyone defaults to.

Generally speaking, the risk of hiring clan members is lower than hiring good people from outside. Of course, in terms of risks and benefits, slaves who have signed a contract of sale are more cost-effective.

It's just that among the servants, there are very few people with vision and ability, and they will always feel that they are not enough.

This is why some people always want to turn good people into slaves.

For powerful people from aristocratic families, land and slaves are the most untouchable assets. They are most like Wang Mang, the ancestor of the time traveler. One of the main reasons for his failure is because he touched these two.

Zhao Hanzhang also touched it, but the difference between her and Wang Mang was that her methods were fair and she only restricted them from getting more, rather than stripping them of their existing assets.

Wang Mang made changes in a peaceful environment, while she re-established order in a war. To be honest, although it was difficult for her, it was also easy.

It has been more than 120 years since the Yellow Turban Uprising. Although there was a brief period of stability, the world was not unified.

This is the worst of times and the best of times.

In this era, there are constant wars, natural disasters and man-made disasters, but because of this, their brains are open and their thoughts are active. The celebrities are bohemian, but they are also open-minded and tolerant.

The relationship between ethnic groups has gradually turned from sharp antagonism to tolerance, and social prejudice against women has also improved.

In such a difficult environment, ordinary people no longer mind if a woman establishes a female household and takes charge of the household.

Because in this era, as long as you can live, no matter how you live, that is victory.

The scholar class is also thinking, and they will not blindly emphasize their own interests. Most people still want to make the country stable and unified, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, rather than fighting for the land and slaves of each family.

Because of the war, they lost most of the capital they once controlled. If they could return to the North alive now, no one would complain that the imperial court had taken away the abandoned land and the once-abandoned slaves. Everyone was silently starting over.

They are confident that as long as the world is stable and the court gives them a fair opportunity to display their ambitions, they will definitely be able to bring honor to their family again.

Therefore, Zhao Hanzhang's talent recruitment test remained strong after the court stabilized, with many supporters.

Because of the war, most of the people who were once in power have died, and now most of the people left behind are side branches of the aristocratic families, with only empty reputations.

Zhao Hanzhang is obviously not a fame-loving person, so they cannot seduce her. In terms of popular prestige, no one in the entire Jin Dynasty can match Zhao Hanzhang;

In terms of prestige among scholars, the Zhao family has Zhao Cheng and Zhao Ming, so no one can use their reputation to make her compromise.

Now the most powerful family in the Jin Dynasty is the Zhao family, and the only ones that can still maintain their clan strength and reputation are the Wang family, the Lu family, and the Cui family.

If the previous official appointment system is still followed, the imperial court will definitely be controlled by these three families, and these declining aristocratic families and their branches will have no future.

So the recruitment examination is very good and they all support it.

Many of the policies of the imperial court may seem unrelated, but anyone who has participated in the talent recruitment examination will understand the connection between several major policies.

The talent recruitment examination is linked to the current education system. Nowadays, Zhao's schools are popping up everywhere. In fact, they prefer to call them official schools, because the expenses of the schools now go directly to the county government, and the student enrollment status is also directly linked to the county magistrate's political performance.

The education system is related to the current land system, taxation, etc., and it can be said that they are closely connected.
