Chapter 787 Hanzhong's delay

Ma Chao, who returned to Chang'an, has been depressed and faintly anxious these days.

Others don't know, but Diao Chan understands Ma Chao's thoughts. Therefore, even though she was pregnant, in addition to the tedious intelligence work handed over to Duanmu Ruoyu, Diao Chan personally conveyed the vital information to Ma Chao.

The horse supernatural also knows Diao Chan's thoughts, but there is always a trace of indescribable estrangement when the two meet today.

"My husband, I have more information about Jiangxia's official hat and chair." Although the lower abdomen has not yet bulged, Diao Chan, who has adapted to the status of a pregnant woman, will stroke her abdomen from time to time. The nature of maternal love is beyond doubt.

But after hearing the news, Ma Chao hesitated a little. However, it was only a momentary effort. Then, he came to Diao Chan's side, leaned against Diao Chan's lower abdomen, and said, "After working together for so many years, I finally got a baby number. However, this super baby still needs a seven-month incubation period, which is too painful..."

"husband, if you say so, do you compare my concubine to a hen?" When Diao Chan heard the words, her pretty face couldn't help blushing and punched Ma Chao directly. However, no matter how angry she was, she did not push Ma Chao away and whispered in her abdomen: Maybe only his children can understand Ma Chao's messy words, right?

"Cant, don't run around recently. That's being caught by other princes, and our Ma family will be miserable." Ma Chao got up and saw that Diao Chan was angry. Instead of restraining, he said to Diao Chan very seriously.

But Diao Chan was shocked. He couldn't imagine why Ma Chao would say this. He couldn't help saying solemnly, "Chang'an's defense is as solid as gold soup, and my concubine will naturally not take half a step out of the Ma family..."

"No, I'm not afraid that the enemy will enter and rob you. I'm afraid that when you don't like me, you take the initiative to turn to other families. And at that time, you can still tell that man..." After saying that, Ma Chao jumped and hid in a place that Diao Chan couldn't reach. He learned the movement of Diao Chan's abdomen and frowned and said, "I have captured the Ma family's parents and children as hostages!!"

In Ma Chao's opinion, this cold joke in his previous life will definitely make Diao Chan a little happy.

Surprisingly, Diao Chan just smiled, did not smile as expected, let alone chase and fight with Ma Chao. Instead, he took out a wind-support paper and said, "husband, you don't have to deliberately tease your concubine like this. The matter of Jiangxia's official hat chair is not only the knot of the husband, but also related to the technology, commodity, military, politics, and even the future development of the whole Ma family. So..."

After listening to this, Ma Chao's face gradually came down. Looking at Diao Chan's calm and beautiful face, he suddenly understood the problem between him and Diao Chan: since Diao Chan was pregnant, her mind quickly turned to the child. Most of the time, the communication with him is to talk about work as the director of the Intelligence Department of the Ma family.

And it's not just Diao Chan. Ma Chao also vaguely noticed that Liu Yue also has this tendency recently.

Ma Chao can understand this change. Although he has a strong relationship with Diao Chan and Liu Yue, it is undeniable that he lived in the late Han Dynasty. And their acquaintance and marriage is still the kind of crooked marriage, which is not the same as Cai Yan's formal road of pursuing and finally marrying. Therefore, even though the relationship between them is extremely deep, because of women's nature, Diao Chan and Liu Yue naturally tend to focus all their love and energy on their children.

What's more, both of them share the important work of the Ma family. Therefore, during this period after Ma Chao returned, he felt that the two felt about themselves and their work were more like husband and wife.

And this makes Ma Chao feel very guilty and uneasy. In addition, he has been worried about everything recently, and occasionally a trace of anxiety is inevitable. However, these are just performances in the backyard. In the court, Ma Chao is still the prince who is not surprised and has everything on his mind.

Before, Ma Chao deliberately wanted to have a good relationship with Diao Chan. But at present, it seems that it has little effect. Therefore, Ma Chao simply sat down and said, "Let's put aside the matter of Jiangxia's official hat chair for the time being. At present, what I want to know is the information between Zhang Lu, Jingzhou Liu Biao, and, most importantly, Yanzhou Lu Bu and Cao Cao!"

"Hanzhong Zhang Lu..." After Diao Chan heard that Ma Chao no longer continued to study the matter of the official hat chair, he couldn't help but flashed a trace of joy. However, Ma Chao didn't notice this look. After pretending to recall, Diao Chan said, "On the other side of Hanzhong, don't worry too much for the time being. After Han Feng entered Hanzhong, he found some good projects according to her husband's instructions..."

As early as the end of the battle between Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang, Ma Chao was worried that Zhang Lu would bite back the Ma family in poverty. At present, the main energy of the Ma family is obviously on it. Therefore, Ma Chao doesn't want to devote too much energy to take care of Hanzhong, Xiongnu and other places. Therefore, it is most appropriate for Zhang Lu to use another move to delay the army after a small report on the Xiongnu issue.

And this slow-down plan is naturally the most appropriate to start from the root. Therefore, as soon as the Hanzhong Campaign ended, the Ma family acted as a good man. First, the Ministry of Ceremonies comforted Zhang Lu, and then sent Han Feng to Hanzhong to seek projects that share benefits with the Ma family, so as to ease a series of military and ideological conflicts caused by the Hanzhong and the Ma family.

According to the news from Diao Chan, after Han Feng entered Hanzhong, he found that Hanzhong was indeed a treasure. Among them, black rice, tangerines, medicinal herbs and tea are rare and good products. Moreover, due to the unique natural environment, the prospects of its aquaculture industry are also very promising.

Among them, black rice has always been a tribute to the emperor in Chinese history. It has the functions of nourishing yin and nourishing the kidney, benefiting qi and strengthening the body, brightening the eyes and invigorating blood. Its value can be imagined. However, most of the people in Hanzhong dare not grow this low-yielding crop. After all, no matter how high the nutritional value is, it is not as good as hunger.

And the embarrassing situation of tangerines in Hanzhong is almost the same as that of black rice. The poor environment determines that the people of Hanzhong can't afford to consume such excellent products.

However, medicinal materials and tea have developed in Hanzhong, but they have never embarked on the road of commodity economy. As for the breeding industry? Hanzhong people may have livestock and birds, but they rarely eat the meat of those livestock and birds.

In the final analysis, it is still a word: poor!

However, when Han Feng talked about these cooperation with Zhang Lu, Zhang Lu was already jealous of the Ma family's commodity economy. It seems to have been enlightened. Not only did they agree with Han Feng's suggestion, but also increased the scope of cooperation between the two companies. Lianlian said that Hanzhong was still willing to carry out in-depth cooperation with the Ma family, and even his desire to form a military alliance and form a good relationship with Qin and Jin was quite obvious.

Of course, for Han Feng, who is already an old deep-fried dough stick. Except for the cooperation on those products, he put off again and again on the grounds that he was 'not in his position and did not seek politics'.

And the latest information is that Han Feng found the huge business opportunity of rape flowers in Hanzhong. Due to the unique environment and location of Hanzhong, the oil production of rape flowers planted is higher than that of other regions. According to Han Feng's estimation, the oil extracted from wild rape flowers in Hanzhong alone can be used by all restaurants in Yongzhou and Sili. If planting is vigorously promoted, it can meet the needs of all the well-off people under the rule of the Ma family.

In this era, although oil is different from heavy military resources such as coal and iron ore, it is also like purifying salt and stir-frying tea. It is a new industry that is profitable and related to people's livelihood. At least, under the rule of the Ma family, those people who have become rich cook vegetables with water when entertaining guests, which is quite disrepeat. Not to mention, the squeezed rape flowers can also be made into vegetable cakes for horse feed.

Moreover, it is foreseeable that the cooperation between the Ma family and Hanzhong will continue wider and deeper. Therefore, Diao Chan said that Ma Chao didn't have to worry much, which was really conservative. In Ma Chao's rough view, the Ma family only needs to have a three to five-year cooperation with Hanzhong. After fully mastering Hanzhong's economic lifeline, it is not impossible to directly make Hanzhong surrender!
