"This time is different from the past," Zhao Hanzhang said: "She is not only the princess of the Jin family, but also your mother and my mother-in-law." ”

"You don't know, she has been running for the Jin family," Zhao Hanzhang handed him a stack of papers, "This is what Mr. Ji found, when she was in Chang'an, she came forward to ask the gentry and rich merchants to give grain to help the people who were in shortage of grain, although the income was not much, but there were many people who survived by her favor." ”

"When the king of the East China Sea was in control of the government, she was entrusted by Grandfather Fu to run in Chang'an, and successively recruited troops and horses for the first emperor, and provided grain and grass. Zhao Hanzhang himself admires Princess Hongnong very much, her father was poisoned, and her mother also died miserably, she and Emperor Huai, who subsequently ascended the throne, are only uncles and nephews, but they are not very close.

The Jin family was in tatters and leaking everywhere, and her uncles and brothers and royal relatives were fighting for power, but she kept trying to mend it.

You must know that she is in a precarious situation in Chang'an, otherwise how could Fu Tinghan run away and return to Luoyang to move the rescuers?

Her assets were sold little by little, and in the end, even her subordinates and guards had to be dismissed a lot due to lack of money, and in this way, she also saved money to recruit troops and horses, and then sent them back to the first emperor, just hoping that he could manage the country well.

The first emperor was killed, the Xiongnu and Shile armies went south, the world was in chaos, she didn't know if she would be alive tomorrow, she didn't flee to the south of the Yangtze River, but ran to Shu to find reinforcements, wanting to save the Jin room again.

Princess Hongnong is like this, how can she treat her like an ordinary mother-in-law?

Zhao Hanzhang asked Zhao Xin to invite them back not only for Fu Tinghan, but also for himself.

"It was my previous negligence, the princess is so noble, she should have her own princess mansion." Zhao Hanzhang said: "I will tell the little emperor and let him reward the princess's mansion, so that you can be more comfortable when your mother and son are separated." ”

Fu Tinghan: "The princess's mansion needs to be repaired, right?" Do you have money? I mean, the treasury has money? ”

Zhao Hanzhang sighed: "It's still okay to squeeze it." ”

Fu Tinghan was still puzzled, "You have always been thrifty when you can be frugal about this kind of thing, why are you willing to spend money to repair the princess's mansion for her this time?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang smiled at him, got up and brought a chessboard, directly grabbed a handful of white chess pieces and spread them on the chessboard, and said: "We are all ready, after the New Year, all over the country will start a new life, all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, and there are business opportunities everywhere." Don't mention it far away, just one item, grain seeds! ”

"Do you know how high the stakes are for the grain seeds? So how do you choose a grain merchant? When there are interests, there will be conflicts, and when the time comes, they will find all kinds of officials to fight hard, and I will try to be fair, but my fairness is also based on the information I can get. Zhao Hanzhang said: "And I want to get more and more real information, in addition to my own intelligence network, I also need external advice." ”

"If you want to hear different voices, you have to have different interest groups," Zhao Hanzhang began to put black chess pieces on the chessboard, "This is a different voice." ”

Fu Tinghan looked at the chessboard and asked, "Then are you on the white side or on the black side?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang pinched the chess pieces and smiled: "Why should I make chess pieces?" I'm a chess player. ”

Fu Tinghan lowered his eyes and looked at the white chess pieces that still occupied most of the chessboard, and suddenly felt blessed in his heart, and raised his head to ask her, "Are a considerable number of these white chess pieces from the Zhao family?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang raised his eyebrows, raised his head and smiled at him, which was self-evident.

Fu Tinghan understood, remembered what he had heard, and asked, "So, is the Zhao family a relative, or is the Fu family?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang: "It depends on the specific situation, which side is favorable for me to choose." ”

Speaking of this, she paused and asked Fu Tinghan, "You, you shouldn't mind, right?" ”

Fu Tinghan doesn't mind, no matter how he marries, isn't he always forming a new family?

But...... He was very curious, "But now that you are married, I am married, how will it be determined who will be a relative in the future?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang said: "This is very simple, just have a child." ”

Fu Tinghan was confused.

Zhao Hanzhang looked at his eyes and smiled: "If you have a child, you can see if he is surnamed Zhao or Fu." ”

The person got too close, her breath and the fragrance on her body hit his face, Fu Tinghan's face turned red, tilted his head slightly uncomfortably, and he didn't dare to meet her gaze, "Well, let's decide when the time comes." ”

Zhao Hanzhang looked at his red earlobes and smiled, "Since you don't want to be alone with them, then stay at home tonight, and you won't go back on the grounds that you are busy with state affairs." ”

The rules of the world are to be followed, but she has the capital to let him do as he pleases, and he doesn't have to be so embarrassed by himself.

Fu Tinghan saw that she pulled out and sat up straight, and the distance between the two of them returned to the normal range, he breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a while and asked, "Will this make it difficult for you?" ”

"No," Zhao Hanzhang smiled and comforted him, "Didn't I say just now, Princess Hongnong is not an ordinary woman, and neither am I, so she won't care about this." ”

Even if she cared, she could make her not care.

Fu Tinghan's calculations in terms of human affairs are far inferior to Zhao Hanzhang's, and he nodded when he heard this.

He was physically and mentally exhausted this day, and he was a little sleepy at this time, so he got up and said: "I'll go to rest for a while, and then go to the Ministry of Industry, by the way, Qingzhou and Gwangju have sent another batch of salt, I have already put it into storage, when do you see when this salt will be distributed?" ”

Zhao Hanzhang asked, "How is the salt prepared in other places?" ”

"There are 83 salt wells recovered from various places, 19 salt mountains, and two salt lakes, and I have roughly calculated that these salt productions, together with the salt from Cheongju and Gwangju, can squeeze the private salt out of the market and maintain a balance, and even have a surplus."

After all, not many people are alive now.

Zhao Hanzhang nodded: "Very good, let Qingzhou and Gwangju continue to expand the salt pans, send people to Jizhou, and start building salt pans in the coastal areas, next summer, I need a lot of salt." ”

Fu Tinghan asked: "Do you want to use salt to restrain the ethnic minorities in the north?" ”

"Not only that, but also the west, as well as Jiangnan and Jiangdong," Zhao Hanzhang's face was full of joy, "There is also Shudi, they have just returned to Shun, I always have to give them some benefits." ”

Salt was a weapon, no less than iron and copper, and as long as she had enough salt, she could do so much.

Jiangnan, Jiangdong, she has a way to make them slowly fall apart, and then return.

The same is true in the north, whether it is Xianbei, Qiang or Tubo, it is not appropriate to use soldiers at this time, so she needs a piece of meat and bones to hang in front of them, so that they can taste and eat the benefits.

But...... It's not for nothing.

Good night
