Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 88
At sunset, in Khotan City, Zhang Zhao was wandering around the female slave market in the west of the city. While picking out two handy female helpers for Cao Yanming, he walked into a restaurant selling mutton soup pretending to be casual.

"A large bowl of millet rice, a large bowl of round-grained rice, two large bowls of mutton soup, and a leg of lamb, accompanied by a catty of haggis!"

As a person who wanted to quickly grow a small belly, Zhang Zhao's appetite was maximized. All of these things, except the bowl of mutton soup, belonged to Lao Zhang Zhong, and the rest belonged to him.

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

Put cheese on the corn rice, and pour honey and jam on the japonica rice. The former is oily and salty and very delicious, while the latter is sour and sweet. It is the earliest rice bowl.

After a while, an old man wearing a blue crotchless shirt came over. Although the crotchless shirt was washed a little whitish, it was cleaned very cleanly. When Zhang Zhao entered the city that day, he cried out whether the Emperor Chang'an knew about it or not. An old man surnamed Zhu.

"Mr. Erlang! Old man Zhu Qingquan lives up to his trust. This is the list of Tang children that can be used in Khotan City. There are 87 people in total. They are all willing to follow Mr. Erlang to find the remnants of Anxi and Beiting."

At that time, Zhang Zhao deliberately sang the song of eternal regret, in order to find out the Han people in Khotan who still remembered the Tang Dynasty.

Because he knew that a large number of descendants of the Tang Dynasty would come to support him and gather under his banner, which would never happen.

There are quite a few Tang children in Khotan, but over the past hundred years, most of them have become citizens of Khotan. It is impossible for him to set up chariots and horses to compete with his uncle Li Shengtian for the population.

Besides, these Tang children have lived in Khotan for hundreds of years, and they have long been used to it.

They have never seen the Great Tang since they were born, they have never seen the glory of the Great Tang, and the Tang court has not given them any favors. If you go to tell them to restore the Great Tang, they must think you are sick.

Simply put, these Han people are already Khotan Han'er.

But there are exceptions to everything, and there are no exceptions among people.

There are always some people, even if they haven't seen Great Tang, and haven't felt the benefits of Great Tang, they still remember this great country that their ancestors fought bloodily for, and they still hope to restore Tang'er's glory in Anxi.

Only such people are Zhang Zhao's fellow travelers, the people Zhang Zhao needs. These days, he sent Fanshun, who is more flexible, to find Zhu Qingquan, just to get information about these people.

The number of people is a bit small, and Zhang Zhao of Khotan City didn't go to count, but Tang's children should be at least three thousand, maybe around five thousand. After all, if you look around on this street, at least [-]% of them are Han Chinese.

Of course, it does not mean that all four adults in Khotan are Han Chinese, but that most of the Han people are concentrated in the city, surrounded by the countryside, and the Khotanese and mixed blood who still look like Scythians account for the majority.

"Thank you, Zhu Weng, for Anxi and Beiting who are still oppressed by the Hulu!"

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

Having them is a good signal, because Khotan Han'er is living a good life, and it is normal if he refuses to follow Zhang Zhao.

But the rest of the descendants of Tang'er, Shule, Qiuci, Beiting, Bala Sagon, and Suiye, who are miserable, must be more willing to work hard with Zhang Zhao.

"I asked Fanshun to bury thirty pennies under the apple tree in the backyard of your house. Quan Dangmou thanked him. Zhu Weng will get him out when he gets back. Your grandson's leg disease should be cured sooner!"

Zhang Zhao took the list, and after eating the food that he could eat for a day, he got up and left.

Zhu Qingquan blushed immediately, and grabbed Zhang Zhao's sleeve.

"What is Erlang-jun doing? But looking down on Zhu? Zhu himself is Tang'er who lost his country. He did these things for Erlang-jun out of his heart. Why would he use vulgar things to stain my sincerity?"

Zhang Zhao took Zhu Qingquan's hand holding his sleeve, and patted the back of his hand lightly.

"I know that Zhu Weng is sincere, but these [-] rounds are not because you did something for someone, you can treat it as the imperial court to compensate you descendants of Tang'er who stayed behind in Anxi.

When Anxi went to the Central Plains to suppress the rebellion, only [-]% of his children accompanied him, and the rest were separated from their parents and heaven. The pain of separation is far from being healed by thirty pennies, but now a certain person only has this ability. Let Zhu Weng accept it! "

"I can't take it!" Zhu Qingquan still shook his head, "Mr. Erlang is not from the Central Plains court, and the money is not from the court, but from Mr. Erlang. There is no reason for Mr. Erlang to compensate us for the court of the Central Plains!"

"Zhu Weng doesn't think that something can be done?" Zhang Zhao asked with a smile!
"No! No! I believe Mr. Erlang will succeed!" Zhu Qingquan quickly shook his head to express that he didn't think so.

"Then Zhu Weng will accept it, not only you want to accept it, but Zhu Weng will also do some investigations for someone. If it is Tang'er like you in Khotan City or the Hu'er family who fought bloody battles for Anxi and Beiting in the past, It is indeed very difficult, and someone will also compensate them.

It's just that XX's resources are limited, and Zhu Weng needs to check it out for XX, but don't worry, the money is just an advance payment, and someone will pay for it in the future. "

Zhu Qingquan nodded lightly and looked at Zhang Zhao for a long while, "Okay! Since the Erlang Bureau said so, Zhu has the audacity to accept it, but can Zhu ask, who is Erlang Jun planning to turn to in the end?"

Zhang Zhao let go of Zhu Qingquan's hand and walked out. He turned his head and smiled brightly, "Whoever sits on the dragon chair in the Central Plains will have to account for it!"

Then he said something in his heart, 'If someone could sit on that dragon chair, he would have paid in advance at that time! '

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

"Mr. Erlang will surely succeed! Buddha bless Mr. Erlang to win the banner!"

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 residence of his mother, Princess Fengtian, in Khotan City when she was not married.

After Princess Fengtian married to Dunhuang, Li Shengtian didn't allow anyone to touch the facilities. He only came to live for a while when he missed his elder sister.

On the second day of Zhang Zhao's arrival, Li Shengtian gave Zhang Zhao the right to be in charge of this set of Li Shengtian's palace. It was also at that time that everyone in Khotan realized that Zhang Zhao's weight in Li Shengtian's heart was definitely not low.

Zhang Zhao did not enter the main hall, but walked to a small courtyard in a relatively remote place. This house has become Li Shengtian's nominal residence. He will definitely not live in the main hall carelessly. It is estimated that he will live in tonight and tomorrow. Li Shengtian had to be kicked out.

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

And beside Wu Yuan'er, there was a person who was similar in appearance and figure to him, it was Wu Da'er who was sent by Zhang Zhao to Gaochang to 'collect the bill'.

Looks like a good job done!

　Thank you ZJM Mingshu friends for your reward again, but starting from today, the unit will conduct epidemic prevention and control investigations, and the tiger has been arrested. It is estimated that it will be updated in a few days, and it will be made up on the weekend.
