Chapter 40
Dong Zhuo brought Emperor Xian here today to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.It's just that Mrs. Jiao stabbed Dong in vain and became an unjust ghost. Two parts of her body were buried in the dog's belly.Emperor Xian did not dare to mention the death of Mrs. Jiao, but Dong Zhuo did not bother to mention it. It simply sank into the long river of history without any further waves.

Fan Yangcheng, Zhao Xin's mansion.

Tang Miao came in a hurry. When he saw Zhao Xin, he had no time to salute and said directly: "My lord, I have found Ma Jun."

"Oh? Where is Master Ma?" Xin Zhao said excitedly.

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Cang brought an old man outside the door and entered the door.The old man entered the door, bowed his head and lowered his hands, and knelt down to salute. Xin Zhao hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man up.

"I wonder why Mr. Changshi is looking for me?" the old man said.

Xin Zhao laughed out loud, ordered him to be seated, and said: "I heard that Mr. Ma is very skilled and has a lot of research on ingenious and strange arts. Xintuo came here to find the master, because he has something important to discuss."

"I'm scared. I don't know what Master Chang Shi is talking about." Ma Jun cupped his hands and said.

Zhao Xindang was about to make paper, and told him all about it. After Ma Jun listened, his eyes lit up, and he ignored etiquette under his excitement, and looked up at Zhao Dao Dao: "Is what Master Chang Shi said true?" '

Xin Zhao secretly sweated. In fact, he only knew a little bit about papermaking. He didn't know whether it could be done. He immediately prayed in his heart: History books, history books, you must not lie to me. .

After Zhao Xin went to college, he discovered that a lot of knowledge mentioned in history books had been denied. The most classic one was naturally Zhang Heng's seismometer.

Although he was unsure, Zhao Xin, who had gone through nine years of compulsory education, had learned nothing else but was a first-rate master at bragging and telling lies.

He said with a solemn expression: "Master Ma, this is for the benefit of the common people in the world, so don't you dare to speak nonsense."The art of making paper was entrusted to me by the Immortal of Nanhua in a dream, and asked me to send someone to find a master named Ma Jun, and told me to tell him about it.Since I found Master Ma today, please don't refuse Master Ma. '

When it comes to Nanhua Immortal, Master Ma couldn't help being taken aback!Why does Xin Dao sound so mysterious?

But this kind of papermaking method is unheard of, and it is worth a try. If it succeeds, it can benefit the people, but if it fails, it will only waste a few months.

Immediately agreeing, Xin Zhao was very happy, and had dinner with Ma Jun that night. At the dinner table, Xin Zhao even told Ma Jun about the power of his offspring, and gave Ma Jun a lot of tips.

After the meal, Ma Jun got up from the table, bowed his hands to Zhao Xin with great respect, and said, "Master Chang Shi is truly a genius. Today's visit to your family is like a revelation to Jun!"

Zhao Xin chuckled and returned all the credit to Old Immortal Nanhua. He sent Ma Jun away with a smile and told Zhou Cang to take good care of him. Zhou Cang naturally accepted the order.

In the following days, Zhao Xin was looking for money everywhere. It had been half a month since he returned to the city from Shanggu, and only half of the pensions for the soldiers who died in the battle had been paid. The rest was not that Zhao Xin was unwilling to pay, but There is really no money in the warehouse!
During this time, the soldiers in Fanyang City began to feel emotional.

There were many family members of the dead soldiers who came to the camp, clamoring for compensation, and even bloodshed.The reason for the incident is very simple. An old man named Zhang Wei led nearly a hundred old and weak women and children from the whole village to come outside the camp to shout out.

Zhang Xian had attended a private school for several years, knew Braille, and spoke with reason and evidence.The person on duty in the military camp at that time was the grumpy Wei Lie.

That Zhang Wei pointed at Wei Lie's nose and reprimanded him, ranging from astronomy to geography, scolding Wei Lie with his tiger eyes staring, unable to say a word.At the end of the scolding, Zhang Wei started to fight because of the pain of losing his son.

Wei Lie didn't fight back, but how could the confidants beside him see that the boss was bullied by an old man? A man named Wei Kun was Wei Lie's cousin. After coming down, Xin Zhao was promoted to be the corps leader because of his bravery in battle.

When Wei Kun saw his old cousin being pushed like this, he reached out and pushed Zhang Xian angrily. Zhang Xian himself was an old man. After Wei Kun pushed him like this, he fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

When a crowd of common people saw the leader Zhang Xian fall to the ground, someone in the crowd shouted: "Your Majesty, you are here!"

The scene was suddenly chaotic. The old and weak women and children in the field had already lost their husbands, fathers, and sons. They were in a time of grief and anger. Seeing that these officers and soldiers not only refused to pay pensions, but even shot adults, they became even more angry and rushed over one after another. .

No matter how the soldiers stop them, they cannot be used.

Although Wei Lie was reckless, it was not enough to attack a group of unarmed people, so he had to close the gate of the village tightly, not asking right from wrong.

Under the siege of the angry people, more than a dozen army soldiers were injured, but Wei Lie still ordered not to do anything.

The news reached the ears of Xin Zhao, who hurried to the military camp.

Before arriving at the military camp, I could already hear the cries and howls of the people.

Not many levels later, under the protection of Zhu Tong, Tang Miao, Yan Rou and others, Xin Zhao came to the people and shouted: "People, don't do anything!"

Xin Zhao's voice was so loud that all the people stopped their hands and turned to look at Xin Zhao.

At this time, Zhang Wei was supported by two fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys, walked to the back of the crowd, bowed to Xin Zhao, and said, "I don't know who you are? '

Xin Zhao returned the salute, then straightened his body and said, "I am the person you are looking for, Xin Zhao."

"Ah, you are Zhao Zilin!" Zhang Wei couldn't help but lose his voice when he heard this.

Xin Zhao chuckled and said, "Why, didn't you guys want to look for me, now that I'm here, if there's anything you need to do, just say it."

As soon as Zhao Xin finished speaking, a group of people shouted: "My husband died in battle, why didn't I get any compensation!" '

"Pity my youngest son...he hasn't married yet..."

"Father... Father..."

You shouted loudly, annoying voices kept pouring into Xin Zhao's ears, Xin Zhao tried to hear someone's words clearly with his ears pricked up. "Enough! Shut up all of them!"

Xin Zhao stopped shouting, but the people in the field ignored him at all and still pointed at Xin Zhao to demand justice!
Zhao Xin glanced at Zhu Tong beside him. Zhu Tong understood, and immediately pulled out the two steel forks from his waist, stepped forward and shouted: "Whoever dares to yell again will die!" '

When the people saw the real guy, they finally became wary and their words gradually weakened.

Xin Zhao frowned and said, "Yan Rou, the soldiers who are almost able to write, register all their family members and relatives, and check them one by one to prevent someone from pretending to be a soldier's family."

It's not uncommon for fakes to happen, and Xin Zhao has encountered them before.

After all, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, even the imperial army has not paid the grassroots soldiers any money, and some food is good, and they are still eager to get money?Previously, Xin Zhao had the blood of the Tang family, and there was still some money in his pocket, so he was more or less paid. Many people also came to Xin Zhao to serve as soldiers because of this.

Later, during the Battle of Yuyang where Zhang Chun was strangled, when Zhao Xin distributed pensions, more than 300 people came to the military camp to pretend to receive pensions. Zhao Xin was very angry when he heard the news, but when he thought about it carefully, most of these people would not survive. The refugees who go down, if they have a chance to survive, they can do it without being paid.

Xin Zhao asked Yan Rou to register and check them one by one, and the faces of ordinary people in the venue immediately changed!
Xin Zhao grinned cruelly and said: "If they are really the families of our soldiers, they will deserve a lot of money and pensions! If someone comes to pretend to be an impostor, I will give you a chance and get out! Otherwise, once found out, Kill without mercy!"
