Zhao Hao returned home from the eldest princess's mansion and found that his grandfather had gone out.

Naturally, Ye was not there either. Last night, he did not live in the mansion, but went back to the army to record the semicolon in Dashilan.

"Where is the old man?" Zhao Hao took off the gauze hat from his head and handed it to Ma Xianglan who came to meet him.

"The old man said he was going out to visit his family." Tang Youde answered first, and saw him standing there with a flattering face, holding the beautiful Tongzhou cherries. "Would you like some fruit or drink tea first?"

"Hey, what are you stimulating?" Zhao Hao looked at him strangely and said, "Why have you become so well-behaved?"

"Hehe, have you forgotten? Old Tang has always been so well-behaved." Tang Youde blinked.

"He stole my plate..." At this time, Qiaoqiao followed in empty hands.

"Aren't we afraid that Miss Qiaoqiao will be tired, so we will bring it to you now?" Tang Youde smiled embarrassedly.

"Hahaha, it turns out that it was washed by Sister Qiaoqiao!" Zhao Hao then reached out and twisted a handful of cherries, stuffed them all into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Then I dare to eat it... I'm really afraid that he won't wash it clean."

Qiaoqiao was immediately happy, glared at Tang Youde with a pride, and asked Zhao Hao with a smile: "What do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you."

"I want to eat too much." Zhao Hao said as if he were aware of it: "Cook dried shredded shreds, shrimp wontons, duck blood vermicelli soup, wine-making small balls, assorted tofu..."

When Qiaoqiao heard that he was all the specialty dishes he had made for him, she nodded happily and said, "I thought the chef in Beijing had kept you dirty and didn't care about snacks at home."

"Haha..." Zhao Hao laughed dryly, thinking that if he said this from Sister Ma's mouth, I would sweat again.

But Qiaoqiao shouldn't have that scheming, well, it must be literal.

"How could it be? I love every dish, but what I miss the most is the dish in my hometown." Zhao Hao replied with a smile.

Qiaoqiao blushed when she heard this, and turned around and ran away.

"Hey, why did she blush?" Zhao Hao spread his hands and really couldn't understand the current girls.

Ma Xianglan covered her mouth and smiled, without any intention of participating in the topic.

~~

At the end of March, Beijing is sunny and warm in the afternoon.

Zhao Hao asked Zhao Shizhen and Zhang Jian to help Tang Youde move the low tables, chairs, trousers, and cups to the yard.

Then he lay down on the chair and squinted his eyes comfortably.

"This is life..."

This was the first time he had returned to his state of "paralyzing in the yard" after leaving Nanjing.

Seeing this, Tang Youde felt relieved and thought to himself that this was the young master who Old Tang was familiar with...

His previous capable and neat look really made him unable to relax.

"By the way, how is that thing made?" Zhao Hao asked Zhao Shizhen and Zhang Jian with a smile.

"It's already made, and I'm going to test it in two days." Zhang Jian quickly replied respectfully.

"Don't test in the city, stay away." Zhao Hao ordered.

"I understand." Zhao Shizhen nodded and said, "This is too close to the palace."

"That's what it means." Zhao Hao responded and saw a staggering young man with crutches going out for a walk.

He threw a plum to the young man with crutches and said, "Xiwa, doctor said how long will it take for you to throw away the crutches?"

This was the first time Zhao Shixi went out of the house to walk out of the house during the Yuan Dynasty. She became much whiter and had gained weight three times, so Zhao Hao also liked him much.

"It takes one hundred days to get hurt, and it will take another month." Zhao Shixi took Li Zi and asked, "Uncle, did my father write?"

"Haha, I'll grow up, remember to ask your father." Zhao Hao threw him another peach and said with a smile: "I received a letter yesterday, but I didn't tell you too late."

In fact, the letter was brought to Beijing by Zhao Liben, but Zhao Hao was afraid that Xiwa would not tell him about his grandfather's visit.

After all, the old man was ordered to return to his hometown to live freely, and the registered residence of the old Zhao family is Xiuning, not Beijing.

Zhao Hao told Xiwa about Zhao Jin's situation...

The old brother and his wife left Beijing last year on Laba Festival and celebrated the New Year with the old man in Yangzhou. Then Zhao Shouzheng sent Zhao Xian to send Zhao Jin's wife back to his hometown, while Zhao Jin set out for Guizhou.

In this era, the southwest was full of mountains and rivers, so Zhao Jin rushed to the scene and arrived at Chengfan Mansion at the end of February.

But what's awesome is that before others arrived, they had mediated the internal strife of the chieftains that had lasted for several months in Chengfan Mansion.

This is due to his complete work before and Zhao Hao's advice.

Zhao Hao told him that the riot that occurred at the end of the first year of Longqing was not a rebellion by local forces against the court, nor a fight between ethnic minorities and Han people, but a killing within the chieftain caused by blood revenge.

To put it bluntly, this belonged to the "family affairs" within the Shuixi'an clan, the largest chieftain force in Guizhou at that time.

However, the officials of the Third Division in Guizhou misjudged the situation and rashly sent troops to suppress it, but were killed by others, and the situation became a mess.

Now with Zhao Hao’s reminder, Zhao Jin can be targeted.

When he was in Yangzhou for the Chinese New Year, he wrote to the Guizhou Censor, ordering him to conduct in-depth investigations and approve the facts. He also wrote to the Guizhou Commander, ordering him to hold his troops until the truth is found out and not add fuel to the fire.

Unexpectedly, this alone played a role. The An chieftains on both sides saw the province coming to investigate the case, fearing that the court favored the other party, they all took the initiative to complain to the Lord Nietai.

When the inspector saw that it was as expected by the Chief Secretary, he immediately became confident. While appeased both sides, he said that the province would deal with it impartially; while he threatened them that the new governor was serious and that things were as expected as a god. If the riots did not subside when he arrived, a large army would be suppressed and the new official took office would be the top priority.

The chieftains on both sides fought for several months, and were already suffering from casualties and secretly regretted it. However, hundreds of lives were killed on both sides, and there was no possibility of spontaneous reconciliation. Now the court said that they would make a decision, and the two sides would be in a state of disarray and stop.

Then the three departments formed a relatively reasonable mediation and compensation plan, such as one party handing over the culprit that caused the revenge, and the court tried and sentenced it; the rest of the two parties lost the money to pay the crime, and then distributed the received money to the deceased as pensions to the deceased on both sides, etc.

The plan was recognized by both sides, and a riot that lasted for several months, with more than a thousand casualties, was decided without a fight.

As a result, when my elder brother arrived at Chengfan Mansion, he saw that the market was restored as usual and the people's livelihood was restored.

Moreover, the An chieftain was so impressed by Zhao Jin that it was the first time that he followed officials from all over the province out of the city for twenty miles and knelt to welcome the Zhongcheng, who had been clearly distinguished from thousands of miles away.

The old brother was already acclaimed before he even made his debut, and it can be said that the start was perfect.

This should be very helpful for his subsequent governance of Guizhou. I believe he can achieve more impressive results than before.

"In a word, it may take less than three years to become a household in the brocade clothes." Zhao Hao smiled and encouraged Xiwa, saying, "So you have to resume training quickly. I heard that the assessment of the Ministry of War is quite difficult."

"Hey..." Xiwa nodded with a bitter face. He suddenly felt that it would be good to be limping like this except that he could not go out to spend money.
