Chapter 753 The step is too fast to pull the egg

Ma's Arsenal.

Ma Chao looked at the forging room that already had semi-mechanical and assembly line production, and couldn't help showing a happy smile on his face: save money invested in the arsenal, and didn't throw it away for nothing!

Before that, Ma Chao had been to Ma's farm and saw those farm technicians who were also greenhouses with coal fire to study the hybridization and high yield of crops in the four seasons, and they had made great progress, and their faces had cracked: not to mention that they had developed more productive hybrid winter wheat No. 2 and cold and drought-resistant potatoes That is to say, the greenhouse planting technology can already ensure that you can eat fresh vegetables all year round!

In the first few years, when Ma Chao first crossed over, it was really poor here, especially in winter. Except for the entertainment of artificial people, it is simply idle!

What you eat is Chinese cabbage! This cabbage was only available when Ma Chao traveled through time. In the Han Dynasty, there was no such thing at all.

I wear it, except for the fur and leather, which is heavy and damp. Ma Chao has made two down jackets. Except for the hundreds of chickens who don't close their eyes, there is no warmth and comfort of Ma Bosideng and flying in the snow.

As for playing, well, you can hunt. But for a while, the animals on the mountain trembling when they heard the sound of elephant dragon's little black horseshoe. Sincerely, Ma Chao pitd those hibernating beasts.

And now, the Ma family has edible food and vegetables that are no less than the 21st century, and cotton-spun cotton clothes... As for playing, there are more renovated artificial human postures.

There's nothing you can do. In this era, after you come, it is impossible not to pick up girls and unify the whole country. Shooting, books, etiquette, and imperial courtes are extremely boring. It's really boring to kill people with bad intentions.

And now, Ma Chao looks at dozens of blacksmiths with open breasts beating desperately. The jingling sound resounds through the sky, and the red fire almost melts the whole world. It's false to say that he is not excited. After all, all this is what he has changed.

"Lord, after your secret law is implemented, three people in the arsenal can get 100 catties of steel in a day. As for the previous production of hundreds of steelmaking, the arsenal is only 70,000 catties a year, and it is still the largest output of nearly 500 skilled craftsmen. Han Feng saw Ma Chao's look and said it appropriately.

"Okay, okay, okay!" After listening to this, Ma Chao shouted three times in a row.

Insufficient steel production has always been a bottleneck restricting Ma Chao's daring to recruit. Even now, Pound has more than 20,000 Ma soldiers, using the old-fashioned equipment blades of the Han Dynasty. When it comes to forging steel, only military officers above the army can get one or two pieces. The lowest-level soldiers used * are only of better quality than the ring knives of the Han Dynasty.

There are also steel nail crossbows, throwing guns, sharp edges, etc. Although these do not need forged steel, they are also very consuming equipment.

Now, after hearing from Han Feng that the Arsenal has carefully studied the Steel Smelting Collection, as long as the capital, coal and iron can keep up, the Ma family can fully equip hundreds of thousands or even millions of Ma's army. At that time, the dream of sweeping the world is really 'five words floating from the sky: that's not a matter!'

"Lord, now it seems that although the Ma family is trapped in economy and finance, it is firmly on the Diaoyutai in the situation." Xun You couldn't stand the high temperature between forging. He wiped his sweat and said, "Now that the Xiongnu has retreated, should the subjugation of Liangzhou be carried out in advance?"

After Ma Chao walked around casually, he also walked towards the door and said as he walked: "After the shadow reported this news to me last night, they had already gone to the Qiang tribes. If it's not bad, as long as the Qiang people go to the four counties of Liangzhou to attack the coquettishness and kill some mountain thieves and bandits, the four counties of Liangzhou will naturally defect to the Ma family.

Speaking of this, Ma Chao has seen Guo Jia and others who came out in advance due to the uncomfortable temperature of forging, and continued, "What I am worried about is who should be sent to office after the four counties of Liangzhou defecting?"

"Huangfu Jianshou, the son of General Huangfu Song, and Zhu Hao, the son of Zhu Jun, the general of the army, are all well-known in literature and martial arts, which can be of great use. There is also the old general Huangfu Song, who is from Liangzhou, and his reputation has shocked Liangzhou for a long time. If you send the sons of two old generals and their successors to take office, you can come to Liangzhou, and on the other hand, you can also settle the hearts of the two old generals. Guo Jia heard Ma Chao's words at the door, and then marched with Ma Chao and answered.

"What my brother said is very true." Ma Chao immediately agreed to Guo Jia's suggestion, and then said, "It is understandable that the Ma family is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai as mentioned earlier. However, after Liangzhou was established, there are only three places left in the Ma family..."

"One is Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. Although we used a knife to kill people this time, Zhang Lu is by no means a fool. He will definitely fight back in the future." Yangfu Yongliang was the first to say that Zhang Lu, who threatened Ma's super base camp.

"The second is the Xiongnu, and the evil of the Xiongnu has been there for a long time. Several times, he still wants to live in the land of Sili. The wolf's ambition should really be killed!" Zhang Liao opened his second opening, and his ancestors had a grudge against the Xiongnu. When he joined the Ma family, he also had the factor of expelling the Xiongnu outside the fortress.

"The third is Cao Gong," Guo Jia has said this without hesitation at this time, and said indifferently, "Cao Gong's wisdom and martial arts, the hero's talent, Xuzhou and Lv Bu, Cao Gong will certainly be able to see through the intervention of the master. Therefore, Cao Gong also has to guard against it.

"Lord, Liu Biao's place in Jingzhou also has to be guarded." Xu Shu saw that Ma Chao's expression gradually became dignified. Knowing that Ma Chao had already calculated in his heart, he also mentioned this invisible scourge: "Liu Biao's civil strife has been eliminated, but Yangzhou has Yuan Shu's constraints and did not dare to touch the Ma family. However, the superficial alliance between the Ma family and Liu Biao must not reassure the two families, but it is more likely to attract The other party suddenly took action!"

Listening to the people behind him counting the enemies of the Ma family, Ma Chao really wanted to cry without tears. Unconsciously, the Ma family has come to the tip of the beacon waves and make enemies on all sides. In fact, it is very simple to deal with these enemies. Whether it is a military expedition or a conspiracy, the Ma family has no means and talents.

But........

However, this is the time when the Ma family is poor. Over the years, I have walked so fast that I have pulled some eggs. The rapid expansion hit the beautiful bubble of Sili, which made Ma Chao's old background for two years of operation empty. Although the East and the West can survive this year, the huge area can also make the Ma family recover quickly. But it was this year that the Ma family needed to rest and not let the enemy take advantage of it.

Fighting is still economic and population. Now the Ma family is not short of people, but money. There is no shortage of money, just a year's capital return time...

said this feeling, and a civil servant and military general behind him also fell silent: the problems of the Ma family are well solved, and everything is not solved well, as if they have fallen into a dead knot.

"It doesn't matter," Ma Chao finally felt a little angry and couldn't help encouraging everyone: "Now the Ma family is leading in technology, rich in products, goods are changing with each passing day, and the business road is unimpeded. After Liangzhou is paced, it can directly explore the Western Region market... And over the years, the Ma family is indeed too tired. It's good to occasionally stop and rest. This year, I can't move boldly, and there is still no problem to make small fights. Let's see which short-sighted thing dares to die..."

After saying this, Ma Chao has already walked to the brick kiln opened in the heart of Ma's Arsenal. Thanks to the book Manufacturing Process of Construction Engineering Materials, Han Feng told Ma Chao that the arsenal has burned red bricks. It only takes a few years at most for the people of the Han Dynasty to say goodbye to the era of wooden houses and tiles.

"Go ahead and have a look. With bricks, there is no need to worry too much about the post-disaster reconstruction of Sili." After getting rid of the distracting thoughts of the princes from all over the world, Ma Chao came forward and wanted to enter. He also said, "I will definitely make Chang'an a truly solid place and realize the long-cherished wish of the Han people for long-term stability!"

At this time, Zhang Yi led the people all the way and rushed to Ma Chao. After saluteing, he said, "Lord, the Xiongnu messengers are visiting!"

"Hungnu Messenger?" Ma Chao was stunned. He was sure that it was not the man sent by Yufro, but the old king of the Xiongnu, so he wondered: 'What are they doing here? Just retired from the army and came to wink again? The speed of this adultery is much faster than my brother chasing the little girl at the beginning!'
