Wei and Jin cooks

Tan Zhong: ...He really wanted to relent and follow, but this matter was not a big deal, so he had to ask Zhao Zhongyu first.

Zhao Song was disappointed when he saw this, and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go to the next place."

Soon, the good news spread in the fields. The farmers in the fields were as happy as the Chinese New Year. When they saw Zhao Song and Zhao Hanzhang from a distance, they knelt down and kowtowed to express their thanks. The farmers who were also members of the Zhao clan were excited. He waved to them, and when they looked over, he raised his hand and gave them a deep bow.

Most of the time, Zhao Song sat on the bullock cart and accepted the gift, and Zhao Hanzhang accepted it, but when he met some tribesmen, he would ask Zhao Hanzhang to return the gift solemnly, "You are senior to me. Even if you are poor, you cannot accept the gift. Be orderly and don’t be chaotic.”

Zhao Hanzhang responded one by one.

They had a lot of land, and they only visited a few pieces of land near Wubao for most of the day.

The two families have similar fields and the conditions are similar. When they go to the fields to see the harvest, there is a different atmosphere on both sides.

The tenants and tribesmen on one side greeted Zhao Hanzhang happily, while the other side looked at them dullly, with eyes full of envy.

The pressure in Tan Center was even greater. When he came, the master only said that he wanted to take back the property. When the time came, he chose the head of the village and a steward to take care of it. He expected that the fifth master would not object, but he did not expect that things would go so wrong.

Tan Zhong's intuition was not quite right. Although Xiping had always been the Fifth Taiye's agent, he still obeyed the clan leader. With his temperament, he should not oppose the clan leader.

Tan Zhong couldn't help but glance at Zhao Hanzhang who was riding in front.

After returning home, the smile on Zhao Song's face fell. He stopped and looked back. When he saw his son walking slowly, he snorted and said, "Did you see it? If you hand over the property to these staff, what will happen?" The master can't do it. We can still communicate on the road now, but if there is a war or accident in the future and the contact is cut off, will the clan do nothing and just wait for the clan leader's order?"

Zhao Song said with a stern face: "Everyone's heart has been lost. Look at what bad moves he made?"

That was not what Zhao Ming was thinking about. He said worriedly: "Father, if Ji Yuan were here today, do you think this problem would still be a problem?"

"The clan leader will send Tan Zhong here because Tan Zhong is a very useful staff member around him, but he is resourceful but not decisive enough. The clan leader is leaving him in a worrying situation," Zhao Ming frowned, "and Sanniang can do it from The fact that Ji Yuan was snatched away from the hands of the patriarch shows her resourcefulness and determination. What you should be worried about now is the dispute between the eldest brother and the second brother, mediating their conflicts instead of siding with Sanniang, which will intensify the conflict between the two. He is also suspected of sowing discord between the patriarch and the clan."

Zhao Song's eyes widened in shock, and he pointed at him with a slightly trembling finger: "You, you said I'm sowing discord?"

"Father, maybe you didn't mean it because you didn't think of this, but that's what you did."

Zhao Song was extremely angry and looked for a stick everywhere, "You, you still call me stupid."

When Zhao Ming saw his father snatching the bullwhip from the servant's hand, he turned around and ran away. After running for more than ten steps, he turned back and shouted, "Father, good advice is hard to hear but it is helpful to practice. My son, this is also for the good of the clan. Please calm down and think about it." knew."

"For the sake of filial piety, my son will avoid you first, otherwise it will be bad for your health if he gets angry; but if you beat your son and you will be sad, it will still be bad for your health..."

Zhao Song chased him for a few steps and saw that he had disappeared. He was so angry that he ran around in circles. The housekeeper hurriedly comforted him and helped him back to the lobby.

Zhao Song angrily said, "Am I sowing discord? Should everyone just follow Zhao Zhongyu? How old is he? He has been in charge of the clan for several years, but he dares to give me advice."

"Yes, yes, it's all Mr. Lang's fault. Sir, don't be angry. It's not worth it to be so angry."

Zhao Ming ran out and didn't know where to go for a moment. He thought for a while and said: "Go to the main house."

Chang Sui was puzzled, "Lang Jun, you just said bad things about Sanniang, and now you go to the main house again. Aren't you afraid of starting a quarrel?"

"I said bad things in my own house. No matter how powerful she is, I know it now." Zhao Ming said: "Go and see her."

Chang Sui was puzzled, "Lang Jun seems to dislike Sanniang very much."

"Wrong, I don't like her," Zhao Ming sighed: "She is too smart, I feel uneasy. She did a wonderful job of freeing rent in the fields today, and the timing was perfect. After today, Wu The tribesmen, tenants, and long-term workers in the fort will all be heartbroken, and his ability to win people's hearts is comparable to that of an uncle."

Zhao Ming was worried, "My father has been working hard for twenty years, but I'm afraid he can't win as many people as she did with this one move."

Chang Sui didn't believe it, "Sanniang is not familiar with the clan, how can she compare to Master Lang?"

"As time goes by, the prestige of her actions today will naturally fade, but what if she takes advantage of the victory and pursues it?" Zhao Ming decided to meet Zhao Hanzhang. Even if he didn't do anything, just chatting and drinking tea would be good.

Just when Zhao Ming went to find Zhao Hanzhang, what happened in the fields had already spread to the ears of all the big families in Wubao.

They were all members of the clan who borrowed 20% of the rent on credit with Zhao Changyu last year. When they heard the commotion outside, many of them followed suit.

The people who were still hesitant at first saw him and had no choice but to follow.

Zhao Hu has a lot of land, and the number of tenants is among the top three in the clan. He cursed and waived 20% of the rent, and then asked, "Where is Sanniang?"

"It's in the main house."

"Let her come to see me, no, let me go find her," Zhao Hu stood up, "otherwise she will definitely find excuses not to come to see me. She decided to decide such a big thing as rent exemption without consulting the clan. It’s too much.”

So Zhao Ming and Zhao Hu met at the door of the main house.

When Zhao Hanzhang heard that his elders were visiting, he came out to greet them with a smile. When he saw the two of them, he greeted them warmly, "Seventh uncle, cousin, are you coming to play with me? Come in quickly."

Zhao Hu didn't like Zhao Ming. Compared to the gentle and tolerant Zhao Song, he was more afraid of this serious nephew. He always felt that his eyes were too clear and could see through people's hearts.

Zhao Ming also didn't like Zhao Hu, the clan uncle. He felt that he was disrespectful, ungrateful and uneasy for his elders. He would always jump on his bottom line when there was nothing wrong, which gave him a headache.

So people who didn't like each other met at the gate of the main house, and both wanted to turn around and leave.

But Zhao Hanzhang had already gone out to invite him, so the two of them could only walk in.

Tan Zhong brought many people here, and he asked people to keep an eye on the movements of the main house. After hearing about this incident, he sighed quietly, knowing that the purpose of his trip would probably fail.

He could only write to Zhao Zhongyu to report and ask for opinions.

But Zhao Hanzhang didn't mention Zhao Zhongyu or the fields. She pulled Zhao Hu and curiously asked him what profitable workshops and shops he had.

"This field is very important, but when it comes to money, grain is still small. If you want to make money, you need luxury goods. I don't know what is the most profitable thing in Runan."

Zhao Hu loved enjoyment all his life and was unrestrained. After hearing this, he felt that he had found a comrade. He clapped his hands and said, "Hero Sanniang and I see the same thing."

See you tonight
