The main reason for coming back this time is to report to the newly appointed Guo Tingshi, and the good news of Fang Wan's pregnancy is incidental.

To be honest, Zhang Hao felt very strange about calling him back to report on his work this time, he had obviously reported to Liu Yu about opening the ranch, and Liu Yu had already agreed, so Guo Xun would definitely know about it, why did he call himself back?

When he came to the door of the Assassin's Mansion, Zhang Hao met a former acquaintance and an enemy, Zhao Yong, who seemed to be waiting for someone.

"Isn't this Ziyi? Why don't you enjoy the happiness in the capital, and run back to this poor country? ”

With a smile on his face, Zhang Hao took the initiative to greet Zhao Yong, "Could it be that the flower world outside is not as beautiful as imagined?" ”

In fact, if you think about it a little, Zhang Hao can also understand that it is not easy to live in Luoyang, and the various expenses are amazing, and he can't stay until he comes back; Either he bumped into some noble person in Luoyang and was driven home.

"It turned out to be Mingde, the Central Plains is naturally infinitely beautiful, but I am because I have an old father and mother at home, it is not suitable to travel far, and the court has mercy on me to return to Youzhou as an official, and I am currently the chief secretary of Liaodong County."

Zhao Yong looked at Zhang Hao and continued: "I heard that Mingde was promoted to the county order not long ago, which is really gratifying. There was a tone of contempt and disdain, as if there was a hint of jealousy.

Every year, the imperial court asks each county to recommend talents to the central government, and there are several people in each subject, but only one person is filial piety, and there are only one hundred people in the world who are filial piety and honesty at the same time as Zhao Yong.

Zhao Yong tried his best to eliminate Zhang Hao, a competitor, and became one percent of the one, and went to Luoyang with great expectations, thinking that he was a rare young talent in the world.

He believes that with his talents, he will soon be promoted and reused.

But that reality slapped him on the ground again and again, his nose was blue and his face was swollen.

Not to mention that he, the one percent, is not the best and most famous, and there are many people who are stronger than him among his contemporaries.

It is said that in Luoyang's Taixue, there are still tens of thousands of Taixue students waiting for the imperial court to assign positions.

The longest of the people who were waiting for the edict in the bus department had been waiting for a year or two.

Each of them reads poetry and books like Zhao Yong, thinks they are talented, and they have millions of strategies in their chests, but in fact, their hearts are higher than the sky, and their lives are thinner than paper, and they have not been mentioned for a long time, as if they have been forgotten.

Zhao Yong was stunned by everyone, stayed in Luoyang for half a year, drowned his sorrows with wine all day long, and was drunk.

Until one day he was drunk walking on the street, and accidentally knocked down a noble man in a fancy costume, and as a result, he was severely beaten by the guards and arrested him.

If it weren't for Zhao Yong's last mention of his relationship with Zhao Zhong, it is estimated that his body would appear in the mass grave the next day.

Later, he learned that the noble son turned out to be the nephew of the eunuch Zhang Rang, and people let him go because he was also a fellow party.

So after a series of operations such as inviting guests to dinner and apologizing, Zhao Yong was forgiven.

However, this capital Luoyang can't stay, and after he returns to Youzhou, after his aunt blew the wind on his pillow all night, his uncle Yang finally let him make his own master book.

It's just that as soon as Zhao Yong came back, he heard that Zhang Hao is now the official county commander, because the rescue of the people has made Zhang Hao still famous in Youzhou.

This made him feel nameless in his heart, I wasted my time in Luoyang, and I waited for half a year and was driven back like a dog, you Zhang Hao is not a fart guy is so popular, this world is too unfair.

When Zhao Yong learned that the ranch built by Zhang Hao in the name of the government was funded with a businessman, he was immediately happy.

My generation of scholars is familiar with the books of sages and sages, and is a gentleman of high character, not to mention how can he be in the company of despicable businessmen as an official.

Zhao Yong thought that he had caught Zhang Hao's handle, so he picked up his uncle Yang and finally complained to the assassin Guo Xun.

Zhang Hao waved his hand and said: "There is Lao Ziyi who is worried, and it is because of the diligence of his subordinates and the love of the people that I have this county order."

Hey, it's just that I'm busy all day, how can I compare to Ziyi's main book, I just need to follow the county guard to sort out the paperwork. ”

Zhao Yong's face was a little unnatural, and he was even more annoyed in his heart, thinking: You mean that I eat idle food.

But if you are angry, you will be angry, and you still have to smile on your face.

"Hehe, why did Mingde come back this time?"

"Oh, it's not a big deal, Guo Tingshi wants to know about the situation in various parts of Youzhou. As the county magistrate of Fang County, I have come back to report on my work. ”

"That's the case, I heard that there is a ranch in Fang County that is quite profitable, was it built by Mingde?"

Zhao Yongruo is indifferent, and his self-righteous appearance looks like a child who has not grown up in Zhang Hao's eyes.

At this moment, Zhang Hao already knew who was suing, but in fact, he had already guessed it when he saw Zhao Yong.

He thought to himself: This guy is really a straw bag, he can't even cover it up, no wonder he can't stay outside.

"Ziyi is really concerned about the affairs of my Fang County, but with this leisure, it is better to assist Yang Taishou to govern Liaodong, this is Ziyi's business, not to care about such idle matters here."

"You!"

Zhang Hao arched his hand to Zhao Yong and said, "Okay, this official still has official business, so he has left." Completely ignoring Zhao Yong's eyes that seemed to be eating people, he walked straight into the Thorn History Mansion.

"Hmph, damn bastard, you wait for me, if I didn't kill you last time, it's your fate, this time I'll kill you no matter what."

……

It's still the same as when I came last time, but it's not Liu Yu but Guo Xun on the main seat, and there is only one yang end without Gongsun Zan below.

This made Zhang Hao can't help but complain in his heart that Zhao Yongyang is a person who deserves to be a relative, and he knows how to do these small actions when he has nothing to do all day long, how can you say that one of you is the governor of Liaodong County, and the other is the assistant to the chief, why do you stare at this little in other counties, and you don't stay well in Liaodong, and you have traveled all the way to Jixian County to sue me, my superior is the minister of Liaodong.

"Xiaguan Zhang Hao pays a visit to Lord Thorn Shi, Yang Taishou."

"Zhang County's order doesn't need to be polite," Guo Xun said, "Do you know what is the reason for bringing you from Fang County this time?" ”

"I don't know."

Yang finally interjected: "I don't know? As the magistrate of Fang County, don't you even know what sins you have committed? ”

Zhang Hao said calmly: "Please also ask Yang Taishou to inform the subordinate officials of the crimes." ”

"Hmph, you still don't admit it, this official asked you, did you build a ranch in Fang County?"

"Yes, Xia Guan did build a ranch."

"But it was built with the merchants?"

"Xuzhou's wealthy businessman Mi Zhu did also invest."

Hearing Mi Zhu's name, Yang Zhong was taken aback, the Mi family's caravan would pass through Liaodong every time it went out of the customs trade, Yang Zhong still knew a little about Mi Zhu, it was a giant all over the world, and it could no longer be looked at with the eyes of ordinary merchants.

Yang finally thought that he had always wanted to have a relationship with the Mi family so that he could get a share of the Mi family's business, but he was always rejected, Zhang Hao, this kid, could actually cooperate with the Mi family.

Holding back the fire of jealousy, Yang finally said aggressively: "Then you admit that you colluded with Mizhu officials and businessmen for personal gain?" ”

Zhang Hao retorted unhurriedly: "Yang Taishou is wrong to say this, the ranch was jointly funded and built by the Fang County Government and the Mi family, not by me Zhang Hao and Mi Zhu. And the ranch is a government business, and seventy percent of the income is used as government funds, not me.

Therefore, Yang Taishou said that the collusion between officials and businessmen is a bit slanderous to the lower officials, and this matter was also reported to the previous assassination history and agreed by him. This is an official document of approval, please check it by Lord Shi. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Hao took out the official document approved by Liu Yu at that time and handed it to Guo Xun.

The corners of Yang Zhong's mouth twitched when he saw this scene, Zhang Hao even prepared the official documents, obviously knowing what he was looking for this time, and he was still pretending to be confused before.

After Guo Xun finished reading it, he nodded and said, "That's right, this is indeed agreed by Brother Bo'an." In this case, it is not regarded as collusion between officials and businessmen for personal gain. ”

"But if the government runs pastures and trades, the tribes on the grasslands will not be able to sell their livestock, so isn't that just competing with the people? This is what the sages resisted. ”

Listening to Yang Zhong's words about the sages, Zhang Hao couldn't help laughing.

"Bastard, are you laughing at your own officials? Someone come, arrest this person who despises the official for the official. Yang finally couldn't bear Zhang Hao who teased him.

Guo Xun comforted on the side: "Yang Taishou dissipates his anger, Zhang Xianling has just entered the officialdom, it is normal to not understand the rules of officialdom, don't be like the younger generation, don't you apologize to Yang Taishou soon." ”

Zhang Hao bowed to Yang Zhong and said: "The lower official is rude, and I ask Yang Tai to forgive his sins." ”

Guo Xun then asked, "Why did you laugh just now, but what is wrong with what Yang Taishou said?" ”

Zhang Hao also saw that this Guo Tingshi was facing him, and saluted him: "Xia Guan just thinks that Yang Taishou is a little careless and derelict in his duties." ”

"You!"

Yang was about to get angry again, but was stopped by Guo Xun, "Listen to Zhang County's order." ”

So Zhang Hao continued: "Under the rule of Yang Taishou, it is the Han people, not the capricious Hu people. I don't think about how to seek benefits for the people under my rule, but I care about the interests of the Hu people. It seems that Yang Taishou is not only derelict in his duties, but he has not even understood the master's Huayi distinction. ”

"If you don't explain it clearly today, this official will definitely let you know the consequences of despising your superiors."

Yang Zhong gasped and said, then Zhang Hao was a little afraid that he would leave if he couldn't get out in one breath, and then he would really be done playing.

"The construction of pastures by the lower officials did not compete with the people. In the past, the government built bridges and roads to levy and pay for labor, but the lower officials did pay for their labor, and the people who came to work would be paid by the day, which could also earn money to subsidize their families during the slack time. Just like this year's spring ploughing, the people of Fang County have livestock farming in the pasture, and the speed is much faster. ”

"But I have heard that you lent your cattle to the people and collected rent, but is that so?" Yang finally said unrelentingly.

"It is true, but it is only fifty dollars per household. These livestock are also public goods, and the people naturally have to charge a certain fee for borrowing them. ”

"Okay, okay," Guo Xun interrupted the argument between the two, "This matter has been explained very clearly by Zhang County, and with the approval of the predecessor assassin as evidence, this matter will end here." ”

Yang Zhong was unwilling, but he had no choice but to respond: "No." ”

"Zhang County Order, since this ranch is beneficial to the country and the people, then you must manage it carefully after you go back, and you must not slack off."

Zhang Hao bowed and said: "No, the lower officials know." ”
