   Chapter 307 Shame

   "Well, I died of illness two years ago, but I didn't die of illness. In such a world, I'm not sure when I was killed by the rebel army or starved to death. It's not bad to die from illness, and I didn't suffer much."

   Zhao Hanzhang was stunned, and I have to say that this conclusion made her, the county chief of Runan County, very ashamed.

   She sighed: "I wonder if the princes in the court will be ashamed to hear this?"

   They are ashamed or not. Zhao Hanzhang doesn't know for the time being. Anyway, she is quite ashamed, and the further she goes, the more ashamed she becomes. Even Fu Tinghan, who has always been taciturn, couldn't help but say, "The officials of Dajin are really rich."

   Zhao Hanzhang:  …

  Gao County Magistrate:  …

   Magistrate Gao was about to cry.

   Wu Erlang, who was following behind them, heard Fu Tinghan's straightforward words, so he couldn't stop looking at him, Xingxingyan.

   Seeing that Fu Tinghan's face was solemn, and none of the people accompanying him agreed with him, Wu Erlang finally couldn't help but said, "Master Lang is right, they are all wine bags!"

   In order to express his indignation and disdain, he also said "ahhhhh".

   Zhao Hanzhang and Magistrate Gao:  …

  Fu Tinghan finally reacted and turned to look at Zhao Hanzhang, "Of course you are not among them."

   Wu Erlang was puzzled for a while, until they entered Suiping County, and then went straight to the county government office. Zhao Hanzhang sat in the main hall of the county government office.

   The magistrate Gao, who had been following Zhao Hanzhang, turned his head and instructed the yamen, "Go and call the county magistrate and the chief clerk to visit Zhao Juncheng."

   The yamen responded and trotted to invite someone.

   Wu Erlang opened his mouth wide.

   They passed through many villages along the way, and had a preliminary understanding of the people's conditions. Then they looked at the various account books in Suiping County, and the understanding became deeper.

Zhao Hanzhang felt that the people of Suiping County had reached a critical point. At this time, they were just waiting numbly. They may pass this extreme point silently as before; At that point, it's just the opposite.

   Zhao Hanzhang reached out and rubbed his forehead, and asked, "How are the grain shops, wealthy households, and merchants in the county?"

   County magistrate Gao replied deliberately: "It's still some savings, but..."

   He glanced at Zhao Hanzhang quietly and whispered, "The yamen can't confiscate their property, right?"

   Zhao Hanzhang lifted his eyelids and glanced at him, "Who said I'm going to expropriate their property?"

   Now she can't even take in the commoners, why is she going to offend these people?

   As long as they obey the law, they are all her people, and she still loves them very much.

   Zhao Hanzhang, who loved them very much, decided to do business with them. He wrote a letter directly to Qiuwu, and asked him to find someone to send it back to Xiping, "Let Mr. Ji send a batch of money, and Suiping County will use it."

   Magistrate Gao's eyes brightened.

Zhao Hanzhang sighed with him and said, "Zifan, although the people of Suiping have been in hardships along the way, they have no complaints against you. I know that you are a good official and I can't help you much. I hope we can help you. Working together, at least the people can survive.”

County magistrate Gao, famous and with many characters, he looked back at Zhao Hanzhang with tears in his eyes, and was so moved that the young man in his twenties burst into tears as if he didn't want money, "I know that the girl has a good heart. I will not sit idly by and watch the people suffer, you can rest assured that I will do my best to prevent Suiping from losing the people.”

   In this Dajin, which produces a large number of refugees every day, this commitment is very heavy, Zhao Hanzhang also looked at him with a moved face, "Okay! Let's encourage each other!"

   Fu Tinghan on the side:  …

   He twitched the corners of his mouth, looked away, and turned to the side to see Wu Erlang, who was already sluggish. He simply walked over to him, patted his shoulder, and said, "Let's go, go down and settle down first."

   Ting He took the initiative to lead him.

   In her opinion, Wu Erlang's four uncles and nephews were all servants bought by girls, and they were naturally the same as hers.

Zhao Hanzhang didn't live in the county government office, but a post station across the street. She took people directly to the post station. Seeing that they were still wearing the same dirty clothes, she gave him two strings of money, "Go. I'll buy you two sets of clothes, shoes and socks, and have all your belongings ready, wash up today, and come tomorrow to listen to the orders."

   Wu Erlang finally remembered and asked, "I, our master is... the county chief?"

"good."

   Wu Erlang was dumbfounded, "Did I keep seeing it wrong, that's not a girl, but a gentleman?"

   But it doesn't sound like it.

   Heng He glanced at him and said, "Our master is a girl, what happened to the girl?"

   She said: "Our family is headed by a girl. Haven't you heard of it before, the magistrate of Xiping County is a girl!"

   "But that's the magistrate..." Wu Erlang's eyes widened, "So our girl is the magistrate of Xiping County?"

  Ting He nodded, raised his chin slightly and said arrogantly, "Now he's the county chief."

   Wu Erlang covered his chest, his eyes sparkling, "If I knew it was her, I wouldn't lie to those two biscuits."

  Ting He couldn't help but glance at him.

   Wu Erlang woke up suddenly, took the money, and immediately dragged his three nephews and nieces out to buy clothes.

   He didn't buy expensive ones, but neither did he buy cheap ones, but rather decent gray linen, which was a little better than the coarse linen they used to wear.

But he chose shoes carefully, especially his and Da Zhuang's shoes, he bought good shoes, "You are not too young, you can run errands for the master, and if you need good shoes, Er Zhuang and San Gu will just wear some casually. Just fine."

   Da Zhuang nodded in agreement.

   Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan officially settled in Suiping County. Fu Tinghan sorted out the data of Suiping County in the household, and Zhao Hanzhang met the rich households, gentry and grain merchants in the county under the recommendation of the magistrate Gao.

   Zhao Hanzhang bought grain directly from them. Some were willing to sell it to her readily, and some were hesitant to sell it. After all, the wealthy and gentry were not grain merchants. In this world, they are more willing to hold grain in their hands.

   Zhao Hanzhang persuaded them, "The autumn harvest is just around the corner, and then there will be more crops in your fields. What's the use of storing these grains now?"

She smiled and said: "We cultivate the fields, in addition to wanting to get food, we want to exchange it for other good things. Several of them are not food-deficient, they have enough food and clothing, why not exchange other things, let Is life more comfortable and refined?"

   Zhao Hanzhang said that she is willing to exchange items such as paper, books and glass for food.

   At this moment, the wealthy households and the gentry nodded in agreement without hesitation.

   The corners of Zhao Hanzhang's mouth were slightly raised, and he immediately confirmed the number of transactions with them.

   So each family went back to prepare food.

   Zhao Hanzhang asked Magistrate Gao to inform each li that he is coming to the county government for a meeting, "When they arrive, we will make sure that the food relief for each li may not be a lot, but it should be able to let them get through this difficult time."

   County magistrate Gao was deeply moved, "Xiaguan, on behalf of the people of Suiping County, thanked the county magistrate."
