Chapter 661: Putting an End to Extravagance

Everyone also looked up at Zhao Hanzhang.

Zhao Hanzhang put down the steamed bun and said, "In the future, my meal, the steamed bun will add some wheat bran, although it is not so soft, but it is very hungry, and it can be eaten for a longer time."

Zhao Ming also put down the steamed bun and looked at Zhao Hanzhang.

Zhao Hanzhang gently said to everyone: "This year's harvest is not bad, it seems that the days are getting better, but because of the construction of water conservancy, a large amount of labor has been invested in water conservancy construction, and the labor used for planting and weaving has become less, so the people are still short of food and clothing."

Xun Xiu said: "Envoy, don't talk about the present, even in the past, when the Han Dynasty was prosperous, there was no shortage of poor people among the people, can we still suffer because of the poor people in the people?"

Many people agree in their hearts, they are not incapable of eating well, and they can't eat bran because there is still a person in the people who is hungry, right?

Zhao Hanzhang couldn't help laughing and said, "Your family is rich, so naturally you can, but I can't."

She said calmly, "I'm poor~"

"I will be sent to labor, and the people under my rule will be poor, where shall I be able to swallow this fine flour?" Zhao Hanzhang originally thought that everything would start next time, but seeing that so many people didn't care, she simply put the white-flour steamed buns into the basket and said to her subordinates: "Go to the kitchen and get a basket of coarse grain steamed buns, just the kind that your servants eat, take down this basket."

The subordinates were panicked in their hearts, and couldn't help but look at Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming bowed slightly.

The subordinate immediately stepped forward and picked up a basket of steamed buns.

Zhao Cheng also dropped the white-flour steamed bun in his hand and said, "Give me a change."

Zhao Ming slowly put the steamed buns into the bamboo basket and nodded to his subordinates.

The subordinates hurriedly stepped forward to remove the steamed buns of the three people.

Ji Ping is Zhao Hanzhang's confidant, so he naturally follows the trend and has to be replaced.

The rest of Xun Xiu and the others wanted to pretend not to care, but looking at the white steamed buns in their hands, they couldn't bite it in the end, so they couldn't help but throw it away with two points of annoyance.

Zhao Hanzhang didn't think about their feelings, and when the people brought up the gray and black steamed buns, she picked one up with an expressionless face, broke it and put it in her mouth, and said to everyone: "It's a little thicker, but it's still quite sweet to chew more."

She said, "Life is much better now than before, and I remember that the bean cakes and wheat rice that I ate during the march and war were even more unpalatable."

Xun Xiu and the others looked a little better, and they also picked up the steamed bun and took a bite of it.

Zhao Hanzhang asked Xun Xiu while eating, "Has the grain and grass of the soldiers been settled this year?"

The army led by Xun Xiu, because it is not surnamed Zhao, so the army has always been a part of the grain and grass in Yuzhou, and the rest of them are tuntian and find their own way.

Xun Xiu said with a big grin: "No, please have mercy on you, and you can allocate more grain and grass."

He said: "This year, a large army was dispatched to support Luoyang, and there were not many soldiers left in Tuntian, and when we came back from Luoyang, we had already missed the agricultural time, so this year's harvest was very average, and the income was enough for the army to consume in March."

Zhao Hanzhang believed that he was strange, but even if he shortened the time, it wouldn't be long, and their own grain and grass should be enough for four or five months.

Zhao Hanzhang muttered: "This year, Yingchuan County will pay thirty percent of the taxes to the Assassin Mansion, and the remaining seventy percent, you will discuss with the county guard, I only have one request, Yingchuan County must fill two grain depots in case of emergency, and you will distribute the rest by yourself." ….

Xun Xiu's eyes flashed brightly.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "These taxes came from the people, they saved money, and finally used them on us and the soldiers. We are supported by them, and we have a responsibility to protect them. Now that all counties and counties are going to build water conservancy projects to prevent disasters in the next few years, I know that the people will have a hard time in the future, but I hope that everyone can share the hardships with the people and tide over this difficult time together."

She lifted her eyelids and looked at each of them seriously, and said, "It's not that the people are eating chaff, and we are indulging in luxury."

Everyone's hearts jumped, and they lowered their heads under her gaze, and couldn't help but respond "yes".

Zhao Hanzhang nodded with satisfaction.

She hopes that they will be able to turn

Changing my concept is not that I want to fight for power and profit and drive the people to be used by me; But I am supported by the people, and I will repay the people and share the weal and woe with the people under my rule.

This meeting lasted until the evening, because everyone had limited time, and Zhao Hanzhang did not like to delay time, a meeting determined all the core priorities, and then dismissed the meeting, and tomorrow everyone took the official documents signed by her back to the counties, ready to levy labor.

The crowd dispersed, and in the end, only the Zhao family remained in the hall.

Zhao Ming got up and said, "Envoy, there are drinks and food prepared at home, let's take a seat."

It was rare for Zhao Hanzhang to sit on her knees for so long, and her legs were a little numb at this time, so she didn't move.

Fu Tinghan seemed to know her difficulties, he held up, got up from the mat, and stepped forward to reach out to her.

Zhao Hanzhang held his hand and slowly stood up.

Zhao Ming looked away with some disgust, and said, "Kneeling and sitting can activate the meridians, dissipate the wind and cold, I don't understand why you want to get a high chair to sit on, it's only been a long time, but if you sit for a while, your legs will be numb."

Is this sitting for a while, they sat for two and a half hours, more than five hours, even sitting on a chair hurt their buttocks, let alone kneeling.

Zhao Hanzhang tried not to quarrel with Zhao Ming over such a trivial matter, and walked down slowly holding Fu Tinghan's hand, and said, "My mother has also prepared food, why don't you go to my house?"

Zhao Ming: "I don't mind, but will Uncle Seven go over?"

He said, "Let the Wang family also come over to eat, and we can't let my father and Uncle Seven move."

Zhao Hanzhang thought about it for a while, and invited a subordinate: "Go back and invite your mother to come over for dinner."

Zhao Ming drove the rest of the people away, and he took them to the dining room himself, but the look on his face was a little unpleasant.

"What's wrong with you and Uncle Seven?"

Zhao Hanzhang glanced at Zhao Cheng and said, "I brought Uncle Cheng back to Chen County, and the Seventh Uncle Ancestor was angry."

Zhao Ming snorted and said, "Then you are used to him?"

He stared at her sharply, "You must know that the habitual son is like a murderer, you have always told me to control the people, but now you let him go, and you still bow to him in front of the counties, you know, he is not the one who knows how to restrain himself, once he commits a crime, can you still treat him like this?"

He suspected that she did it on purpose, in order to make Zhao Hu get carried away, so as to make a mistake, and then have an excuse to trap him.

Zhao Hanzhang turned his head and smiled at him, "Uncle Ming can tell the Seventh Uncle Ancestor about the speculation in your heart."

Zhao Ming's brows were furrowed so much that he could kill a mosquito.

Zhao Hanzhang didn't care, "Seventh Uncle Ancestor also knows that I'm not a good person, he will definitely believe you."

Zhao Ming stopped, "Why are you doing this?"
