Zhao Zhong: "300 million, it's a bit small, we have to go and tell everyone, but seeing how filial you are, I will help you once..."

"Hey, thank you foster father, there is one last thing to do now. Kuaiji prefect Tang Mao wants me to find you godfather. Tang Mao wants him to marry his daughter to Shihou (Liu Bian) as his concubine."

"Tang Mao gave 500 million yuan to clear the way, how does it not only look to the adoptive father?" Zhao Fang said.

Zhao Zhong was taken aback for a moment, and then got a little angry: "Hey, everyone is in good health now, and Shi Hou is only nine years old now, so someone hit him on the head?"

"It's a pity that everyone doesn't like Shihou, so no one can say whether Shihou will become the new emperor in the end..."

"This Tang Mao is too impatient to bet 500 million with his daughter. It's okay, tell him to prepare 100 million for me alone, and I will talk to everyone about it tomorrow."

"Okay!" Zhao Fang nodded and stopped talking.Zhao Zhong said a few words to him diligently, and then led the people out of here.

Zhiyuan outside was stunned when she heard this, Tang Mao's daughter?Zhiyuan had some impressions, because Liu Bian did have a concubine named Tang Ji.

But it seems that this woman was very miserable in history. It seems that after Liu Bian died, her father forced her to remarry, and then she seemed to have been in the hands of several princes. Although there is no clear record of whether she was insulted or not, But in those days Zhiyuan could think of anything with her butt.

Tang Ji is an investment of Tang Mao, Liu Bian is only 9 years old now, how old can Tang Ji be?This girl has been a tragedy since she was a child, and Zhi Yuan couldn't help feeling very sympathetic.

But what can I change?Take a nap and go to sleep, Zhiyuan will go to Anping Country in two months, whether she will survive next year or not is anyone's guess.

Soon after her adoptive father left, Zhao Fang called a few more people in.

Now the attitude has changed, he is the superior.Zhao Fang said loudly to a group of people: "The higher-ups have urged this month's offering, but you still haven't received it for three floors. If you don't have enough money by then, use your own money to plug this hole!"

The few people in front of Zhao Fang looked at each other, and then one person said to Zhao Fang: "Young Master... We can't do anything about it. Most people in Luanxiang Gang have no money."

"Even if we drive all those people out now, we won't be able to collect hundreds of dollars. We have used all the methods we can. I brought the daughter of the Wang family over there, and I brought it to you, young master."

Zhao Fang snorted coldly: "Trash! What use would I want the daughter of the Wang family? It's better to sell it at Peony Tower, and you can sell it for thousands of dollars."

"Can't collect money? Then there is no need for this place to exist. Wei San, come back and say hello to my family and buy this piece of land."

"Anyway, that place is useless, so I'll just pay the money. As for the people there, let them pack up and go out of the city. The young people will join my family and give them a bite to eat. It’s worthy of them.”

The people under him immediately agreed, and finally left one after another.But at this moment, Zhao Fang's voice came in: "Bring that little girl, since you have brought them here, don't take them away..."

Wei San nodded immediately, and after a while a crying girl was brought up.The girl's clothes are very simple, with many patches on her clothes.

The girl was very scared, Zhao Fang smiled: "Don't be afraid, girls...you have to get married. With me...you can at least have enough to eat, understand?"

The little girl nodded.

Zhao Fang continued: "Go take a shower, change into a set of clean clothes, and then come here to find me, understand?"

"I know... I know..." The little girl ran down, Zhiyuan sighed, to be honest, this girl is about the same age as her.

In about half an hour, the little girl who had been washed came here.Soon the man's cheerful words and the girl's low and depressed voice came from the room.

Chapter 27: The Other

Is this a bad guy?Zhiyuan didn't know, in this world, ordinary people are like this.

If only eunuchs do this, maybe they can be called bad people, but what if everyone in the world does this?

For many ordinary people, next year may be the year of life and death, but for the gentry, next year will be a carnival.

With such a big disaster, how many refugees will be lost... Countless aristocratic families in the Central Plains are full of trenches and flats.And the party members who were suppressed because of the disaster of party imprisonment finally broke the seal.

Hmm... The current representative of the party members, that is, the leader who was introduced, is the one Zhi Yuan just met, Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu.

Emperor Ling was severely hacked in Romance of the Three Kingdoms because he suppressed the gentry.Few of the emperors who suppressed the gentry and literati in history had a good reputation.

It is the same even now, most of the founding fathers were literati, because someone moved their interests.Assholes are at the bottom. Look at those who advocate happy education and run private schools on their own.

If Emperor Ling didn't die, it is estimated that the third disaster of party imprisonment will appear soon.It's a pity that because Liu Hong died early, those nobles attacked the orphans and widows after they got up.Yuan Shaoye, who is in chaos, this sentence is true.

Of course, the eunuch is not a good thing, and the relatives and the three parties are all for their own benefit, exhausting the last bit of blood of the big man.But... the ten permanent servants can be regarded as a shield pushed by Liu Hong, after all, they are indeed working for the emperor.

The person Yuan Shao asked Zhiyuan to kill was basically an internal struggle, neither side was a good thing, dog eats dog... So Zhiyuan also had to consider how killing this Zhao Fang would affect her.

Well, in fact, the impact is not too big, anyway, I will leave the center of this whirlpool soon.

So Zhi Yuan made up her mind to kill Zhao Fang.Then I will go to see the other Fang Yue, but this time is definitely not suitable, because it is already late at night.

Zhiyuan quietly exited, and then went back outside again.Pei Yuanshao was still guarding outside, and then the two left quietly.Everything went smoothly and there were no surprises.

After returning home, Pei Yuanshao looked at Zhi Yuan: "I said, can you tell if this Zhao Fang is a good person? Anyway, I see him bullying men and women and doing all kinds of evil, so it's fine to kill him..."

Zhiyuan sighed, then patted Pei Yuanshao on the shoulder: "It's easy to kill someone, but have you considered the consequences?"

"I don't want to be pushed to be a gunman... Well, there are no guns yet, another way of saying it."

"I can kill people, but I can only kill all insignificant people. At present, my relatives and nobles are in the same situation. Once I kill others and it is discovered, then I will suffer crazy revenge."

"Although it is said that Yuan Shao paid me to go, but if something goes wrong, Yuan Shao will definitely remove all ties. Pei Yuanshao, you must learn to analyze problems from all angles, and you can't blindly fight or kill."

Pei Yuanshao listened to Zhiyuan talking a lot, and then couldn't help curling his lips: "It's so troublesome, so why don't you kill him at all..."

"If you don't kill, that's money. Two people is 200 taels of silver. How can you earn so much if you don't kill me?" Zhi Yuan made a two with her hand and told Pei Yuanshao that it was 200 taels.

Moreover, Pei Yuanshao also likes good horses, and he can't afford to buy them without money.So soon, the two of them changed their appearance through makeup again during the day the next day.

Both Zhi Yuan and Pei Yuanshao were made very ordinary, at least most people would not notice them.Two people are eating baked noodles and drinking some broth in a restaurant.

"I've had enough, I really want to eat rice..." Zhiyuan sighed, there really isn't much rice in this era, there is a little millet, but it's almost mushy.

Although the baked noodles are somewhat similar to the noodles of later generations, they are actually similar to mutton steamed buns. They are large strips of pasta, and they are really not very tasty.

There are no steamed buns, steamed buns, dumplings, noodles... Zhiyuan sighed: "That idiot will find time travel interesting, there is nothing here..."

Opposite the two was the Tiger Gang, but Zhiyuan realized after watching it for a while that, to put it bluntly, this gang worked hard, and most of its members moved things for officials and landlords to make money.

There are also some blacksmiths who are responsible for making weapons for private soldiers.After all, in an aristocratic family, without strong military force, it is certain that the family property cannot be preserved.

And blacksmiths are naturally needed by all kinds of forces. The tiger gang Fang Yue has more than 20 blacksmiths, so naturally he made friends with many nobles and other forces.

Of course, in addition to these, they also have a lucrative job, collecting some local taxes, such as land occupation fees, poll taxes and the like.

This point is similar to those eunuchs. Although the big man is only taxed at [-] yuan now, there are too many miscellaneous taxes.

The nearby vendors seem to be under their management. Basically, the vendors give money, and they protect these vendors to operate here, the feeling of protection money.

"My lord, this place looks pretty decent." Pei Yuanshao said with a smile to Zhiyuan.

Zhiyuan nodded: "It's true, I like rules. And I think that as long as there are rules, they should be followed."

"Of course, this rule should be in line with common sense, and ordinary people should not be oppressed too much. When I go to Pingyuan in two months, I will teach you what farming is." Pei Yuanshao was embarrassed: "Young master, I naturally know how farming."

"Oh, just throw the seedlings directly into the ground, then pour some water, weed some weeds and wait for the harvest. Is this also called farming?" Zhiyuan almost didn't laugh.

Pei Yuanshao expressed his dissatisfaction: "Everyone in the country farms like this. Is it possible that you really understand this, my lord?"

"Of course... I've said it all and I will teach you. Do you know about chemical fertilizers? Do you know about using artificial fertilizers without chemical fertilizers? And you have to plow the ground, sow seeds regularly, and plan the planting range of the field. I can't guarantee anything else. It shouldn't be a problem to increase food by more than half." Zhiyuan nodded affirmatively.

This made Pei Yuanshao stunned for a while, because he didn't understand at all.And having stayed with Zhiyuan for a long time, he knew that this woman had no need to lie to him.

Even from Pei Yuanshao's point of view, Zhiyuan's mind is very simple.Hmm... Except when analyzing some situations, Zhiyuan seemed to be in control of everything with him at that time.

Although most of the time, Pei Yuanshao couldn't understand what Zhi Yuan said.But what Pei Yuanshao knew was that what Zhi Yuan said must make sense, but he just didn't understand it.

At this time, a middle-aged man in his 30s came out of a room with more than a dozen people.

"Haha... Lao Wu... Tomorrow our batch of weapons will be finished, and then let those little dolls have a look, not everyone can mess around in Luoyang City!" The person who took the lead seemed to be Fang Yue, and he arrogantly Said to the people on the side.

Chapter 28: Assassination Method

"My lord, us?" Pei Yuanshao asked.Zhiyuan thought for a moment, and then said: "It's done... This Fang Yue assassinated directly, that Zhao Fang... I think about it."

"Yuan Shao, go buy me two pigs and some flour later. I have a special idea." Zhi Yuan suddenly had such an immature idea in his head.

There is flour in this era, and there have been stone mills since the Spring and Autumn Period, including the noodles they ate earlier, but...they don’t peel the skin at all, so the taste can be imagined, and it must be very bad.

Most of them are made into strips or cakes, and eaten after soaking in soup.However, according to archaeology, it is said that complete noodles have been found, but they may not have been fully popularized.

Of course, the paper kite is not meant to be eaten, but she wants to see if she can create an explosion, a dust explosion... The premise is to get a whole room of flour, which is a relatively cost-effective way of explosion.

This is not impossible, but very feasible...Because Zhiyuan has been to Zhao Fang's house, he knows that his house is not very big, and the windows around are covered with window paper, which is a very good airtight space.

Of course Zhiyuan had to try it out, after all she hadn't played before, hadn't she?That's why she asked Pei Yuanshao to buy some things. As for the pig, just see if it can be blown up to death.

Flour needs three things to explode, that is, a place with sufficient oxygen, the flour should float in the air, and the other one is that there must be an open flame...

This is not difficult for Zhiyuan. First of all, Zhiyuan found a house outside Luoyang that no one wanted.Near a deserted village, the houses have been emptied.

But two pigs are more valuable, and almost one pig is close to more than 5000 yuan.It made Pei Yuanshao so distressed that he died, after all, he went there for about [-] yuan before killing anyone.

Speaking of which, most of the transactions were made with money, and Zhi Yuan couldn't figure out why Yuan Shao traded with silver. Could it be that Zhi Yuan, a girl, couldn't easily get so much money?

Zhi Yuan said to Pei Yuanshao: "Actually, once and for all, this can kill Zhao Fang and scare Yuan Shao. As for the method I used, you will know after a while after the experiment."

"Besides, you can eat pork even if the pig is dead. I'll cook some braised pork for you..." Zhiyuan suddenly thought of a delicacy.

There is sugar, although it is a bit more expensive, but it is not unaffordable.The remaining meat can be smoked, roasted and salted for storage, or sold, so it won’t be wasted anyway.

First, I took a pig and placed it at the door. To be honest, if it exploded, the door would definitely receive the most impact and flames, so as long as the pig can be killed, then the person must be about the same.

Then there is how to arrange the flour. In this era, less than half of the flour is made of wheat husk, that is, wheat bran.After drying, it is very strong, even a little prickly.

After all, there is no device for separating flour and bran these days, and Zhi Yuan doesn't understand it at all.However, the flour is not badly ground, and it is very dry, so it should be able to produce an explosive effect.

Then it is necessary to let the flour fill the entire space, and the kite can only bring the flour to the beams of the house.Flour bags are made of hemp, which is pretty reliable.

Zhiyuan made a mechanism and tied the rope to the gate. As long as the gate is pulled, the flour on the beam will pour down from the beam.On the beam of the house, the kite has already cut the flour with the sword, and only one force is needed.

Pei Yuanshao stared blankly, not knowing what Zhiyuan was going to do.

For the first time, Zhiyuan put a big bag of flour in, and put a few candles under the flour.Zhiyuan probably weighed more than ten catties.

Fortunately, the paper kite and unicorn arm is good now, otherwise it would not be able to hold it.Although it's a little troublesome to set up, Zhiyuan would rather be more troublesome now for the sake of less trouble in the future.

Everything is arranged, and there are no outsiders nearby.Zhiyuan and Pei Yuanshao came not far away, and Zhiyuan held a rope in her hand.

The other end of the rope was tied to the door, and then he looked at Pei Yuanshao.Anyway, Pei Yuanshao looked confused, if he hadn't been in contact with Zhiyuan for a long time, he really thought that Zhiyuan was suffering from hysteria.

"Block your ears, I'm pulling the rope..." In fact, Zhiyuan didn't know what to do. Although she said that she had seen other people do this kind of experiment before, it was done by herself after all, so who knows what the effect will be.

Zhiyuan pulled the door hard, and the door drove the mechanism rope inside, and Zhiyuan soon heard a puffing sound, and the flour fell on the beams like a waterfall.

Then there was a flash, a muffled sound erupted in the room, the door of the house shook violently, and some wooden objects inside began to burn.

Pei Yuanshao was so frightened that he sat down on the ground directly. The sound was very loud and there was no sound of this explosion other than thunder.

"What is this?" Pei Yuanshao asked in surprise.

Zhiyuan smiled: "Would you believe me if I said this is the technique of attracting lightning?"

"Trust, but it doesn't seem to be very powerful?" Pei Yuanshao looked at the messy room, and then at the pig at the door.

The pig's hair was burnt off, and there seemed to be some blood on the corner of its mouth, but it wailed and did not die.So although the movement is not small, the destructive power does not seem to be great.

Zhi Yuan pursed her lips: "That means the flour is not enough, try adding another twenty catties."

Then...a house made of straw and wood exploded. This time, Pei Yuanshao was really blinded, and both ears were deaf.

"The girl really attracted the thunder?" Pei Yuanshao's face changed when he saw Zhiyuan, and he really believed it, because Zhiyuan was indeed a Taoist, at least she had learned Taoism from a Taoist.

Zhiyuan chuckled lightly: "Tell others that it might be a sky thunder, but let me tell you... if you do it yourself, it will also explode."

"This is science...Pei Yuanshao, please remember one sentence, the more senior the Han Dynasty, the less those gentry will believe in such things as Taoism, they only believe in themselves."

"Follow me, and I will teach you a lot of things. These things are not mysterious. This is not the technique of attracting lightning, it is nothing more than a way to fool people."

Pei Yuanshao showed an incredulous expression, while Zhiyuan patted him on the shoulder: "The way is simple, many things that you think are complicated are actually very simple."

"Okay... I'm changing to an empty house, this time you go to decorate it, we still have a pig." Zhiyuan pulled out the tragically dead pig in front from under the ruins.

Chapter 29: Drinking and Hitting the Road

really fragrant...

Two days later, Pei Yuanshao ate the braised pork with an intoxicated expression.

Zhiyuan almost made several earthen jars, which were colored with sugar and then stewed with ingredients.

Not to mention Pei Yuanshao, even Tang Zhen, who is not young and usually eats light food, can't help but eat a few more pieces of fat.
