The Three Kingdoms

Sun Quan went to visit Cai Yong and gave him a mission.

The pensions of the soldiers were swallowed up. In fact, this has been a practice since the end of the Han Dynasty. It was exploited layer by layer, and Zhuge Jin also knew some of the tricks.

Originally, he thought it was not a big deal, but it was just that the people below became greedy, so he never bothered Jin Yiwei. With the relationship of the Donghou Mansion, he started the investigation from the county government of Wu County, but the more he checked, the more Zhuge Jin felt the matter not simple.

Soldiers' pensions are stipulated by the court, then calculated by the Shaofu, and distributed by the Dasinong.

Kim had to go through both divisions.

Under the Sangong is Jiuqing.

Jiuqing not only refers to the nine court ministers, but the nine major departments of the court to manage the world.

Da Sinong is one of the nine ministers, and Shao Fu is also one of the nine ministers.One manages the world's taxation and finance, and the other manages the world's people's livelihood. The sum is actually a household department.

"Haha, good, good!"

Sun Quan heard the words.The eyes narrowed, and the light in the eyes burst into a color of horror.

Being in the court, he understands some rules and some things he can endure, as the saying goes, when water is clear, there will be no fish.

But there are some things he can't bear.

This battle.Most of the tens of thousands of soldiers who died died in the East China Sea because of him. If they couldn't even keep their own money, then he didn't have to be unworthy of being the Eastern Marquis of Wu.

"What's your name?" Sun Quan turned around and raised his head.He stared at the obviously trembling young man behind Zhuge Jin.

"Report to the Lord, someone's name is Xue!"

The young man raised his head slightly, looked at Sun Quan, his expression stabilized, there was a ray of hope in his expression, and his eyes were burning.

He knew that perhaps Sun Quan could seek justice for him.

"Xue Daniu is your brother?"

Sun Quan continued to ask.

"Yes!"

ˇI heard my brother's name.His expression suddenly became excited.

"Ziyu, Xue Daniu's information!" Sun Quan stretched out his hand towards Zhuge Jin.road.

"promise!"

☆Ge nodded, and then directly handed a file to Sun Quan, while introducing it softly, said: "Xue Daniu is a village chief under General Xu Sheng. He joined the army in the third year of Chuping. In the second year of the Warring States Period, Died on the Lanling battlefield."

This is a very ordinary member of Wu State soldiers.

No spectacular events.He is not a great hero who can challenge all armies alone, nor is he a general who can turn the tide.However, he fought to the death for Wu.

This ordinary soldier made Sun Quan feel boundless guilt.

"Xue Ming, how much pension did you get?" Sun Quan looked at Xue Ming with twinkling eyes, and Huang Zhizhong's voice was calm after depression.

"Back to the king, three thousand dollars!"

There was a flash of anger in Ming Ming's eyes, and he said through gritted teeth.

"Three thousand dollars?"...

Sun Quan's face was indifferent, and he said through his teeth: "The lives of our Wu soldiers are really worthless!"

Three thousand dollars, according to the prices of this era, is nothing more than ten stones of grain.

If it's the kind of chaotic world where children are eaten by others, they can accept this price.

In the war-torn world, people can eat enough to eat and do anything worthwhile. Even if there is no pension, as long as they can eat enough, they can go to the army.

But Wu State is not in troubled times. The Xue family is from Wu County. Wu County has stabilized since the second year of Chuping and has always been the hinterland of the Sun family's regime.

Even if the people of Wujun are small servants and tenants, they are not worth the price.

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for our Xue family!"

Xue Ming knelt down on both knees and begged.

If this was a price given by Chaotang, Xue Ming would bear it, but he knew from a student of Jiangdong Academy that Chaotang's pension was not a price at all.

It made him intolerable.

Did his elder brother fight desperately for the country of Wu? In the end, he sacrificed his life for the country of Wu, but the pension he earned from his hard work was swallowed up by others. Of course, he was furious.

There are only two brothers in the Xue family, and there are two old people who have lost the ability to work, so they have been living very poorly. He has been brought up by his elder brother since he was a child. Ya sent him to Jiangdong Academy. Not only did he have to support him to go to school, but he also had to support his parents. After suffering all the hardships, he didn't even marry a wife, and all his monthly salary was sent home.

Now that his elder brother died in battle, he couldn't tolerate the pension that his elder brother earned from his hard work being embezzled.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to sue the county government, but in the end he got a severe beating. He was not reconciled, so he wanted to go to the sheriff's mansion of Wu County to sue, but that night, his house was seized. The fire burned, and the two elders were burned to death on the spot. He escaped, but he was hunted and killed all the time, hiding in Tibet.

A few days ago, he was hiding in the house of a good classmate, and was only found by the Donghou Mansion with the help of Jiangdong Academy's clues.

"Tzuyu, what is the price of the soldiers' pension?"

Sun Quan's expression was very calm, so calm that there was a chill in Zhuge Jin's heart.

"Report to the Lord, ordinary soldiers, originally [-] yuan, but because the sale of national debt this year went very smoothly. The treasury is sufficient, and the king is very happy, so he added [-] yuan to each soldier, and the official rank of the village commander died in battle. The pension of the soldiers should be [-]!"

Zhuge Jin's eyes moved slightly, and he said in a low voice.

"Twenty thousand? Three thousand?"

Sun Quan laughed a little.He said coldly: "This is the regime maintained by countless sacrificed soldiers of our Wu Kingdom. Very good, I have seen some people's madness."

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter is not an individual's matter. It involves so much that even the top four families in Wu State have joined in!" Zhuge Jin said in a low voice.

"Anyone involved will die!" Sun Quan's voice was calm but decisive.

"Your Majesty, why don't you report this matter to the King!"

Zhuge Jin's heart tightened slightly, and he looked at Sun Quan, which was obviously the rhythm of a rampage.

"I have a good idea. Xue Ming, you will stay in the Donghou Mansion first. I will definitely give you the most satisfactory explanation for this matter. I will never let any soldier who died for the state of Wu die without knowing it." white!"

Sun Quan's amber eyes flickered, and there was a gleam of crystal clear light flowing, and he said firmly.

"Thank you for being named brother!"

When Xue Ming heard Sun Quan's assurance, he stood up abruptly.His face was a little excited, and he bowed ninety degrees to Sun Quan gratefully in his heart.
