Zhao Erlang said: "It's not me who wants it, it's the soldiers under my command, they want to marry a daughter-in-law, how can they marry a daughter-in-law if they don't have money?" ”

The summer harvest is over, and this year's millet harvest in Luoyang is okay, and with the food, the soldiers' minds are drifting, and they want to fulfill the responsibility of multiplication.

This is a big deal, Zhao Hanzhang perked up and asked, "Are there many people who have objects?" ”

"Not much, just thirteen," Zhao Erlang said: "But there are many people who want to find a daughter-in-law, I asked, there are more than 300 people in the whole army who want to marry a daughter-in-law, but they have no money, I asked the matchmaker, they have no money, it is difficult to talk about a daughter-in-law." ”

This is indeed a problem, Zhao Hanzhang pondered, "It's time to find a way to pay some military salaries to the soldiers." ”

Because of poverty, Zhao Hanzhang's military salary was only paid sporadically for a few months, and most of the time it was paid when he was in Shangcai.

Since they walked out of Shangcai, Zhao Hanzhang has become poorer day by day, her military salary has been in arrears, and it would be good to be able to feed everyone.

Oh, the elite soldiers of the Zhao family army can still send a little occasionally, but it is also intermittent.

Zhao Hanzhang missed Zhao Hu more and more, "Why hasn't Uncle Seventh come yet?" ”

As he was talking, the soldiers trotted in and said, "Envoy, there is a letter from Yuncheng." ”

Zhao Hanzhang hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, swept it at a glance, and didn't eat anymore, "You eat first, I'll write a letter." ”

Zhao Kuan and Zhao Yunxin were like ants scratching their hearts, and they wanted to know what was written in the letter.

Turning his head and glancing at Fu Tinghan, seeing that he was not curious at all, he asked, "Tinghan knows what is written on the letter?" ”

"I don't know." But there will always be known.

So there's no need to rush.

It was Zhao Zhongyu's letter, he asked Zhao Hanzhang to send someone to pick up Ming Xuan, and he had already promised to take refuge in her.

The closest to Yanzhou is Yuzhou, and there are not many people around Zhao Hanzhang who are suitable for doing this.

So she decided to hand over the matter to Zhao Ming.

After she finished writing the letter, she immediately summoned Yuan Li and handed the letter to him: "You take the letter back to Yuzhou to find Zhao Ming, please ask him to pick up Ming Pre, remember, you must keep Ming Pre safe." ”

Yuan Li responded solemnly, took the letter and left, leaving the city overnight.

Zhao Hanzhang touched his chin and pondered, as soon as he left, the emperor's corner would be dug more smoothly, but this also meant that the contradiction between her and Gou Xi would become deeper and deeper, and it would be a little dangerous for Zhao Zhongyu to stay in Yuncheng.

She frowned, pondered for a moment, and still recruited Zeng Yue, "Select twenty people from the army, divide them into two, let them sneak into Yuncheng quietly, they don't have to do anything on weekdays, just stare at Zhao Zhongyu, once Yuncheng changes, immediately escort Zhao Zhongyu back to Yuzhou." ”

Zeng Yue responded, paused for a moment and asked, "What about the eldest master?" ”

Zeng Yue used to be a member of the Zhao family, and he was used to calling Zhao Ji like that.

Zhao Hanzhang lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and said, "The safety of my uncle and grandfather is the main thing." ”

Zeng Yue instantly realized that Zhao Ji's life and death were not important, and he could not even care.

Zeng Yue bowed and retreated.

Luoyang and Yuzhou are very close, basically every other day there will be a post soldier to send letters and official documents, after all, there are occasional things in Yuzhou that need to be dealt with by Zhao Hanzhang.

Unlike Zhao Hanzhang, who was busy training soldiers, busy minting money, and busy dealing with official affairs reported from various places, Zhao Ming was drinking in his house in a dashing manner, and sitting with him were famous people from Yuzhou, as well as scholars who traveled to Yuzhou from other places.

A celebrity was playing the harp, and he leaned on the table, took a sip of sake, and then listened with a smile.

The subordinate carefully avoided the people in the garden, walked to the pavilion, tiptoed forward, leaned into Zhao Ming's ear and whispered: "Langjun, there is a letter from Luoyang." ”

Just came yesterday the letter, and came again today, Zhao Ming got up with a straight face, bowed slightly with his friends and left.

The subordinates followed in unison, and reported in a low voice: "In addition to the letter, there is also a cart of money, and the one who was escorted back was the part of the girl, called Yuan Li." ”

"Money?" Zhao Ming's footsteps just paused, and then sped up, Zhao Hanzhang will send him money?

She went out for half a year, and every time she would only reach out to him to ask for money, and send the money back, it was the first time in the world.

And Yuan Li also knows that the means are ruthless, but Fu Tinghan doesn't like the other party very much, he can feel it, even Zhao Hanzhang doesn't like the other party very much, but he is easy to use, so she reuses it.

Yuan Li waited in the front hall, and when he saw Zhao Ming coming in, he immediately clasped his fists and saluted, "Humble to meet Zhao Junshou." ”

"No courtesy," Zhao Ming sat down cross-legged and stretched out his hand, and Yuan Li immediately respectfully handed over the letter he was holding.

Zhao Ming opened the letter and read it, swept it at a glance, and was slightly surprised in his heart.

He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, "You go down and rest first, and I will arrange manpower for you in the evening." ”

Yuan Li didn't ask much, he bowed down and retreated, and the things he brought from Luoyang were also left in Zhao Ming's mansion.

Zhao Ming got up and went out to see the money in the car.

The money is in a box, and a cart can't hold several boxes, and it's a copper coin, which is worth as much as a piece of gold.

But the meaning of the money is not the same.

Zhao Ming asked people to lift the box down and open it, he picked up a coin from it, looked at the sun, flipped it over and saw the word "Zhao" in the lower left corner, he clenched the copper coin in his hand, and his eyes were shining.

After being silent for a while, Zhao Ming waved his hand and said, "Put the money into the warehouse." ”

"Yes."

Zhao Ming groaned: "Put away all the valuable ornaments in the house, from today on, I will only wear sackcloth, send the guests in the house away, and no longer entertain guests......"

He endured it, but still sighed and said: "Put away all the wine, make Jun advocate frugality, and I will learn from her." ”

The subordinates glanced at each other and bowed down.

Zhao Ming looked down at the copper coin in his hand, and beckoned his entourage to ask, "Hasn't Xiping replied yet?" Father, they don't want to come to Chen County? ”

The relatives hurriedly bowed down and said, "The news that I just arrived this morning said that the grandfather and they left two days ago. ”

Zhao Ming's expression was relieved, and he calculated the distance and said: "They are old, the speed of the carriage and horses should be a little slower, they will not arrive tomorrow evening, and they will arrive the morning after tomorrow, so let people clean up the yard." ”

"Yes."

But Zhao Ming didn't wait for anyone for two days, Zhao Judu led the army to the border of Yanzhou and waited to receive Yuanli and others, Zhao Song and they had not yet arrived in Chen County.

Zhao Ming couldn't help but wonder if they had encountered bandits on the road.

But for most of the past half a year, Zhao Hanzhang ordered Xun Xiu and others to suppress bandits, and there should be no large-scale bandits on the road, not to mention that they are still the Zhao family, under the banner of the Zhao family, and there are also subordinates to escort them.

Worried, Zhao Song and the others slowly appeared outside the city.

Zhao Ming hurriedly went out to greet him, and when he saw the mighty team he brought, Zhao Ming was speechless for a while.

"It's ......"

Zhao Hu was very excited when he saw him, and without waiting for the carriage to stop, he poked his head out and waved to him, "Big nephew, I'm ...... it."

Zhao Hu was confused by the floating dust before he finished speaking, and when the carriage arrived in front of Zhao Ming, he poked his head out of the car unhappily and said: "Zi Nian, why is this road full of dust, as a county guard, you should arrange more people to sprinkle some water on this road every day, so that the business travelers who come here feel at home, they like to come to Chen County." ”

Zhao Ming bowed slightly expressionlessly and said, "What Uncle Seven said is that he has been taught." ”
