Chapter 87 Who can use it?

 As the sun sets, in the city of Khotan, Zhang Zhao wanders around the female slave market in the west. While choosing two skillful female helpers for Cao Yanming, he pretends to be careless and walks into a food shop selling mutton soup.

"A large bowl of millet rice, a large bowl of japonica rice, two large bowls of mutton soup, and cut a leg of lamb, accompanied by a pound of lamb miscellaneous!"

As a person who wants to grow a small belly quickly, Zhang Zhao's appetite was maximized. All of this stuff, except that the bowl of mutton soup belongs to Lao Zhang Zhong, is his.

The dishes came soon, and a large piece of cheese was covered with a top of the millet rice, which was the most popular way to eat in Khotan.

Put cheese on the corn rice and honey and jam on the japonica rice. The former is more oily and salty, and the latter is sweet and sour, which is considered the earliest rice to be poured over.

After a while, an old man wearing a green crotch shirt came over. Although the crotch shirt was washed a little white, it was very clean. It was the old man surnamed Zhu who was crying and screaming when Zhang Zhao entered the city that day.

"Erlangjun! Old Zhu Qingquan lives up to his responsibilities. This is a list of Tang Er who is still usable in the city of Khotan. There are 87 people in total, and they are all willing to follow Erlangjun to find the residents of Anxi and Beiting back then."

At that time, Zhang Zhao deliberately sang the Song of Everlasting Sorrow in order to find out the Han people who still remember the Tang Dynasty in the city of Khotan.

Because he knew that a large number of descendants of the Tang Dynasty would come to support him, and gather under him would not happen.

There were many Tang Er in Khotan, but over the past hundred years, most of them became citizens of Khotan. It was impossible for him to set up a carriage and horse to compete with his uncle Li Shengtian for population.

Besides, Tang Eryutian has lived here for hundreds of years and has long been used to it.

They had never seen the Tang Dynasty when they were born, they had never seen the glory of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty court did not give them any favors. Now you go to tell him that you will be sick when you restore the Tang Dynasty.

Simply put, these Han people are already Khotan Han.

But everything is exceptional, and people are no exception.

There are always some people, even though they have never seen the Tang Dynasty and have never felt the benefits of the Tang Dynasty, they still remember this great country where their ancestors fought bloody battles, and still hope to restore the glory that Tang'er had once been in Anxi.

Only such people are Zhang Zhao's fellow travelers and the ones Zhang Zhao needs. These days, he sent Fan Shun, who was more flexible in finding Zhu Qingquan just to get information from these people.

The number of people is a bit small. Zhang Zhao of Khotan City has never been counted, but Tang Er and Ding Zhuang will not be less than 3,000, and it may be around 5,000. After all, looking around on the street, at least 40% of them are Han people.

Of course, it is not that the four most of the people in the Kingdom of Khotan are Han people, but that most of the Han people are concentrated in cities and surrounding the countryside. The majority of the Khotan people and mixed races with the appearance of Scythians account for the majority.

"I thanked Weng Zhu, who was still under the oppression of the Hulu, for Anxi!

Zhang Zhao bowed to Zhu Qingquan. Although there are only 87 people now, a good start at least proves that Anxi and Tang'er from Beiting have not completely forgotten their hometown.

Having them is a good signal, because the Khotan Haner is doing well, so it is normal for him to refuse to follow Zhang Zhao.

But the other descendants of the Tanger who were suffering from Shule, Kucha, Beiting, Balashaguon, and Saiye must be more willing to work hard with Zhang Zhao.

"I asked Fanshun to buried thirty stagnant coins under the pulp trench in your backyard. I took it as a thank you. Zhu Weng will get him out when he goes back. Your grandson's leg disease needs to be cured earlier!"

Zhang Zhao took the list and after Feng Juanyun's food that he could eat for the rest of his life, he was about to get up and leave.

Zhu Qingquan's face suddenly turned red, and he grabbed Zhang Zhao's sleeve.

"What is Erlangjun doing? But he looks down on Zhu? Zhu himself is Tang'er, who lost his country. He does these things for Erlangjun based on his original intention. Why do he use common things to defile me with sincerity?"

Zhang Zhao took Zhu Qingquan and grabbed his sleeves by his hand, and gently patted the back of his hand.

"I know that Mr. Zhu is full of heart, but this thirty ten thousand is not because you helped someone. You can use it as the court to compensate you descendants of Tang'er who stayed behind Anxi.

When Anxi Xingying entered the Central Plains to quell the rebellion, only 70% of the children accompanied him. The rest were separated from his parents and heaven and earth from now on. The pain of separation of flesh and blood was far from being able to relieve the thirty cents of money. But now only has this ability, Mr. Zhu will accept it!"

"I can't accept it!" Zhu Qingquan still shook his head, "Erlangjun is not from the Central Plains court, and the money is not given by the court, but by Erlangjun. There is no reason to ask Erlangjun to compensate us for the Central Plains court!"

"But Mr. Zhu doesn't think that something can be accomplished?" Zhang Zhao asked with a smile!

"No! No! I believe Erlangjun will definitely succeed!" Zhu Qingquan quickly shook his head and said that he didn't think so.

"Then Mr. Zhu will accept it. Not only do you want to accept it, but Mr. Zhu will also have to visit one or two for someone. If Tang'er in the city of Khotan is like you or Hu'er's family who fought bloody battles in Anxi and Beiting in the past, it is indeed very difficult, so I will also compensate them.

It’s just that someone has limited money, and Mr. Zhu needs to keep a close eye on him, but you don’t worry, that some of the money is just an advance payment, and someone will pay the bill in the future.”

Zhu Qingquan nodded slightly and looked at Zhang Zhao for a long time, "Okay! Since Erlang said that, Zhu took it away with shamelessness. But can Zhu ask, who will Erlangjun be planning to find the final account?"

Zhang Zhao let go of Zhu Qingquan's hand and walked out. He turned around and smiled brightly, "Whoever sits on the dragon throne in the Central Plains will have to pay the bill!"

Then he said in his heart, 'If someone could sit on that dragon throne, he would have made an account in advance!'

Zhu Qingquan looked at Zhang Zhao's back with red eyes, and suddenly he knelt down and kowtowed to Zhang Zhao.

"Erlangjun will definitely succeed! The Buddha blesses Erlangjun to win the flag!"

Zhang Zhao left the food shop and did not rush back to Yaotougang, but brought two female slaves to a huge courtyard, which was the mansion of Yutian City when his mother Princess Fengtian was not married.

After Princess Fengtian married into Dunhuang, Li Shengtian did not allow anyone to touch the facilities. Only when he missed his elder sister would he come to live for a while.

The day after Zhang Zhao came, Li Shengtian gave Zhang Zhao the power to take over this set of power that was already considered Li Shengtian's palace. At that time, everyone in Yutian realized that Zhang Zhao had absolutely no low weight in Li Shengtian's heart.

Zhang Zhao did not enter the main hall, but walked towards a small courtyard in a relatively remote place. This house became Li Shengtian's nominal palace. He would definitely not live in the main hall casually. He probably would have to let Li Shengtian out tomorrow if he moved in tonight.

In the small courtyard, a few coughs came, and Wu Yuan'er, whose face was still a little pale, was waiting for him.

Next to Wu Yuaner, there was a person with a similar appearance and figure as him. It was Wu Daer who was sent by Zhang Zhao to Gaochang to "collect accounts".

It looks like the task was done well!
