"Lord, you have to be the master for me, Lord."

When he returned to Mi Mansion in Donghai County, the steward immediately came to Mi Zhu's study and cried in front of him.

"That Zhang Hao is so rude, he accepted the lord's money but didn't take the lord in his eyes at all."

"Not only did he not thank you, but he also said in front of the villain that you are just a businessman, even if you have some money, it is still despised by the scholars."

"He said that the money you sent to him didn't know how many people were looted and obtained, and he took it."

"Villain, I just defended the lord for a few words, and he beat him like this, woo woo."

The steward took off his shirt while crying, showing Mi Zhu his scarred back.

"Done?"

Mi Zhu took a sip of tea and looked at the steward expressionlessly.

"Well, please call the shots."

After the steward finished speaking, he knelt down, put his head on the ground, and thought in his heart: Zhang Hao, you are finished, I have never seen the expression of the lord, it seems that he is really angry. Let you humiliate me, and wait to regret it.

"Now that you're done, I'll tell you."

Mi Zhu clapped his hands, and then a servant walked in from outside the door and said to him.

"Tell me what's going on."

The steward secretly raised his head, and when he saw the person in front of him, he suddenly felt overwhelmed.

"Isn't this the little fourth who went to Fang County with me?"

I only heard Xiao Si say: "Zhang Xiancheng is very grateful to the lord for his help, and he is also warm and friendly to me and other subordinates, and what the steward said is completely slandering Zhang Xiancheng." ”

"It was he who wanted to ask for benefits from Zhang Xiancheng in the name of his master, and he also took away the ten gold in the money given to Zhang Xiancheng without authorization."

"It was Zhang Xiancheng who gave him the opportunity to reform and hand over the money he was taken, but he was stubborn and spoke wildly."

So he was taught a lesson by Zhang Xiancheng. At that time, he kept saying that he would reform himself, but when he came back, he complained to his master and slandered Zhang Xiancheng, which was really not a son of man. ”

"Do you have anything to say now?" Mi Zhu asked lightly.

The steward was already trembling at this moment, breaking out in a cold sweat, and crawled to Mi Zhu with a roll, hugged his thighs and cried.

"Lord, lord, you listen to the villain, this little nonsense is spurting blood. The villain has served the lord since he was a child, and he is deeply taught by the lord, how can he do such a thing? You have to believe the villain, my lord! ”

The steward burst into tears, as if he had been greatly wronged.

Mi Zhu looked at the loyal servant who had followed him since he was a child, and he was a little emotional for a while, and said slowly.

"Of all the servants in the family, you have been with me the longest, and I naturally know very well what kind of person you are."

"Over the years, you have been loyal, followed me to the north and south, and saved this great family business, without merit and hard work."

"Originally, I also planned to go to the government after you came back from Fang County this time, change your slave status, let you be a commoner, and future generations will no longer be slaves."

"But I never expected you to do such a thing that would damage me and my family's reputation!"

As he spoke, Mi Zhu kicked the steward away.

"You still dare to quibble in front of me, Xiaosi told me all the good things you have done over the years, in the name of my Mi family, bullying men and women, forcibly buying and selling, accepting benefits, and selling the Mi family's secrets, you are simply bold."

"I've verified all these things, if you admit and change in front of me, I can still let you leave my Mi family with dignity, but now I see that you are still stubborn and hopeless, so I will ignore the love of these years."

"Someone, take him to the government for me, accuse him of stealing the Mi family's property and damaging the reputation of the Mi family."

After Mi Zhu finished speaking, he stopped looking at him, and then walked in, and two people tied him up, stuffed a piece of linen in his mouth and took him out.

At this time, another person walked in and said to Mi Zhu: "Brother, will you be too unkind to do this, but he has been with you for more than 20 years." ”

This person Mi Zhu's younger brother Mi Fang.

"I can forgive him for anything else, but not this one. It is related to the future of my Mi family, and this Zhang Hao is very likely to be the noble person of my Mi family that the master said, and he would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let one go. ”

"Tomorrow, you will leave for Fang County, say hello to Zhang Hao on my behalf, and explain this matter."

"You remember, don't do stupid things like him, and make friends with Zhang Hao. Do you understand? ”

"No."

Mi Zhu is still very relieved of his younger brother, and this younger brother has always been obedient to him.

……

"Zhang Hao, the county leader of Fang County, annihilated the cavalry of Kou Wuhuan, rescued the captive people, meritorious service, gave the five doctors of the knighthood, and promoted the county order of Fang County."

A small eunuch held a volume of documents in his hand, and read the contents of the documents in his mouth, which was the official document of Zhang Hao's promotion.

After reading it, the little eunuch handed over the document to Zhang Hao, and said with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to Zhang County for his promotion." After saying that, she kept looking at him.

Zhang Hao didn't understand what he meant, so he took the document with a smile and said: "It's really hard for the angel to come to this bitter cold place, this is a little bit of the official's heart, I hope the angel will not shirk." ”

Zhang Hao took out a golden cake from his sleeve and stuffed it into the little eunuch.

"Zhang County ordered this to be very much, how embarrassing it is."

The little eunuch said so, but the gold cake in his hand disappeared as soon as he turned in his hand.

"The lower officials have prepared a banquet to entertain the angels, and the angels are invited to enjoy the light."

The little eunuch shook his head and refused: "It's not that our family doesn't go, but this time I came out, in addition to the official document sent to Zhang Xianling, I also sent the transfer letters of the other two, and now it has been completed, and our family has to go back to restore their lives, so it is inconvenient to stay for a long time." ”

Zhang Hao asked, "I don't know which two?" ”

Immediately after that, he realized that it was a little abrupt, so he changed his words: "If it is confidential, there is no need to tell the lower officials." ”

For the sake of the golden cake, the little eunuch didn't care, and said: "It's not an important matter, it's Lord Liu, the assassin of Youzhou, who was transferred to the imperial court and served as Zongzheng." There is also Gongsun Zhan's transfer to Zhuoxian County. ”

"Oh, I see."

Zhuo County is a big county, and its economic strength and population are all behind Fang County, and the rank of the county order is more than a thousand stones, which is indeed a promotion for Gongsun Zhan.

"Dare to ask who is the new Youzhou Assassin?" Zhang Hao asked.

"It's the younger brother of Guo Hong, the assassin of Liangzhou, Lord Guo Xun Guo."

After saying that, the little eunuch left with his entourage.

Zhang Hao thought about it, in history, this Guo Xun seemed to be killed after the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Uprising.

Unexpectedly, after Liu Yu left, he was succeeded by this Guo Xun, and it seems that so far, his arrival has only changed in a small direction.

For example, at this time, Gongsun Chan had already been promoted to the county magistrate of Zhuo County, but this incident had not happened until now.

But it didn't matter to me.

Now that Zhang Hao has become a real county magistrate of Fang County, some things can be regarded as justifiable.

……

Due to the high efficiency of the large number of people, the reconstruction of Shanghe Township was quickly completed.

The funds have been put in place, and now Zhang Hao wants to take advantage of the fact that the spring has not yet begun, and the farming is slack to organize manpower again and start building pastures.

Still rely on the way of hired workers, a young man to work, a day to give a penny, including food.

Personnel, give priority to people in Shanghe Township, so that they can earn a little more and live a better life.

The pasture is there, the pasture is about to be built, and there is a matching artifact, which is the green storage cellar used for forage fermentation.

Forage made from controlled fermentation is highly nutritious, easily absorbed by livestock, and can grow much fatter than free-grazing livestock.

"How did I forget the owner of the ranch?" Zhang Hao patted his head and remembered that he seemed to have no other livestock except for twenty war horses and thirty-two horses.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Hao became angry.

Of the nearly 200 war horses captured before, only 20 were left for Zhang Hao, and the rest were all left to Gongsun Zhan to leave. The reason is that there are few villains in Fangxian County, and they can't afford to raise so many war horses. As for the horses he didn't need, all the horses he didn't need were left to Zhang Hao.

"It's not enough to have horses, you have to buy some more cattle and sheep."

There is no cattle and horse market in Fang County, so if you want to buy it, you have to go to Changli, where there is a mutual market for trading with the Hu people in the north.

"When the time comes, I will first buy a few cattle and sheep that have not been castrated for breeding, and then buy dozens of females to raise first, but unfortunately they rarely sell stallions that have not been castrated."

"Training during this time is the same. Then when the spring ploughing is in the coming year, these horses, cattle and sheep can be used to plough the land. ”

It doesn't just have to be an ox to plow the land, it also needs to be trained so that the ox can follow the command and not run around while plowing the land.

At this time, sheep and horses were used to plough the land except for cattle, but one of them ate too finely, and the other did not have the strength of oxen.

A cow can easily cost tens of thousands of dollars, and the people who can use the cow to plough the land are all landlords' homes.

Zhang Hao plans to wait for the beginning of spring to lease the livestock to the people of Fang County for farming, according to a township of ten cows, each rent is 500 yuan, ten cows is 5,000 yuan, this money for the entire township, is still enough.

If there is really none, Zhang Hao has also thought about it, and he can use manual resistance.

It was also during this time that he was going to build some infrastructure, dig a ditch, build a road or something.

Anyway, it is just a sentence, we can't let the people under the rule have nothing to do and waste time and energy in vain.

The next day, a dew cloth was posted at the entrance of the Fangxian County Ya. Soon the crowd was crowded. People were pointing and pointing, and from time to time someone exclaimed.

"Housheng, what is written on this?" An old peasant asked the servant standing next to Lubu.

He is a farmer in Zhonghe Township, and at this moment, he is taking advantage of the farm leisure to go to the mountains to cut some firewood and sell it in the city. As soon as the sale was finished, he saw a crowd of people gathered around, and he squeezed in with great difficulty, but could not read what was written on the cloth.

"This is a recruitment notice issued by Zhang County of Fang County, and we plan to recruit people to build a ranch in those uncultivated areas of our county. Each person who came to work had one money a day, and he was also in charge of eating. The official said with a smile.

The old farmer was surprised and said, "Is there such a good thing? ”

It's a slack now, and everyone has nothing to do. Now that I have this opportunity, I can come out to work, not only to give money but also to eat, which means that at this time I can earn more money to subsidize the family, and there is one less person to eat at home, which is good or not.

"When did our county come to a county order?"

"Zhang Xian Ling, that is the previous Zhang Xiancheng, who has just been promoted."

"It's good to be promoted, if you want Zhang County to be such a good official, you should be promoted. At this time, he is still giving us the idea of making money, which is really for the sake of the people. ”

Now Zhang Hao's reputation has gone through that incident, and it is very loud in Fang County. As soon as the people present heard that Zhang Hao wanted to benefit everyone, they no longer had any doubts and signed up one after another.
