Just as Li Haochen was about to walk out of the government office, a person came from the government office and blocked Li Haochen's way. The man asked, "Are you the new Hebei Road Strategic Instructor Li?"

Li Haochen looked at the other party dressed as a scholar, and listened to the other party asking if he was the new strategic commander, which made Li Haochen a little curious. Although he didn't know what the person came, Li Haochen still nodded and said, "I am Li Haochen!"

As soon as Li Haochen finished his words, he immediately bowed and said, "Former Bianzhou chief clerk Zhao Ran, please see the master of the magistrate!" When Li Haochen heard that the other party was the former Bianzhou chief clerk, he thought for a moment. He had an impression that Zhao Ran was at the beginning of the year, and the Henan Dao Censor took his post on his behalf, saying that he was unwell and could not serve the court. He specifically resigned and returned to his hometown to recuperate. After Li Haochen learned about Zhao Ran's situation, he said, "Get up and talk first! Since you are the former Bianzhou chief clerk, I know that you have resigned from the court and said that you have returned to your hometown to recuperate. The court has approved your resignation in a public document issued in March. Why have you not returned to your hometown but blocked my official path here?"

Zhao Ran bowed again and said, "When I say that, I am not willing to resign from my post for the court, but I am really unwilling to join the thiefs with Wu Letian, so I am sick and returning home! I heard that I have killed Wu Letian, and I still have a passion for serving the country in my heart, so I come to like each other! Please don't abandon me and keep it in my post, and I am willing to serve the work of a dog or a horse!"

Although Zhao Ran was talking about righteousness, Li Haochen really looked down on such a person in his heart. Although he did not join Wu Letian and others, Li Haochen also disagreed with this behavior of resigning from office and running away when encountering something.

Although Li Haochen looked down on such a person in his heart, this did not prevent Li Haochen from using such a person. After all, this person must know more than others. Moreover, the position of this person is in charge of the money, food, population and the future disaster relief process, Li Haochen can still use him.

Thinking of this, Li Haochen smiled and said, "The chief clerk Zhao doesn't have to be polite. Since you are willing to serve the country, I will give you a chance. How much fertile land does this Bianzhou City have? How much population, how much money and grain are there in the treasury?"

Although Zhao Ran heard Li Haochen call him Zhao Zhubu, he was not happy at all, because the question Li Haochen asked just now was completely testing him. If he couldn't answer, Li Haochen would definitely not use him. However, these things were all in his heart and could not defeat him. He quickly said, "There are 23,000 mu of fertile land registered in Bianzhou City, with a population of 46,758 people. There is not much money or grain left in the treasury. When Wu Letian was in office, the money and grain of the treasury were basically moved back to his home by making a clever name! The official was so angry that he resigned from his post!"
