Chapter 1249 The Disadvantages of Majia Business

No one in the world and anything will be smooth sailing. Just when Ma Chao, Sima Yi, the Ministry of Ceremonies and the Ministry of Household took the unique conspiracy and laughter of the Ma family to discuss how to take advantage of this opportunity of tribute from the Western countries to carry out a public opinion offensive to completely trample Cao and the Han Dynasty completely on the soles of their feet and can't turn over, there was someone on the Shangshutai Go forward and tell Chen Qun that he has something to see.

The meeting came to an end for the time being, and after Ma Chao heard what Chen Qun said, he suddenly got up and changed his color and said, "Is this serious?" After scolding the idle people on the book platform, Ma Chao pointed his eyes directly at Chen Qun, His Royal Highness: "Changwen, this matter is not small. You don't know that man has just completed a great job these days. If this matter is true, it will be a little difficult for me to do..."

When Ma Chao was edicted as King Yong, Chen Qun was promoted to the head of the Imperial Household Department and Hongnong Taishou. Usually, he could not come to Chang'an. After coming to Shangshutai to see Ma Chao react like this, he said to Ma Chao: "Lord, I know the importance of the shadow in the Ma family, so I came here specially. "

Looking at Chen Qun's unchanged face, Ma Chao was a little clear in his heart. In history, Chen Qun was reasonable and straightforward, accepted the saint's commandments taught by his father since childhood, and was extremely strict with himself. Therefore, after several considerations, Ma Chao promoted Chen Qun, who was once more elegant and even old-fashioned, to a high position on the imperial history platform. Therefore, Ma Chao sat down again, waved his hand and said, "Sitting down and talking."

Chen Qun nodded and sat down: "Lord, recently, I have received reports one after another. These reports all point to one person, and what I said did not seem to be empty. At the beginning, I didn't care about it, but the more I came later, the more surprised I became. Later, I felt a sense of panic. Today, after thinking about it, I dare not report it to the master.

Ma Chao smiled calmly: "It doesn't matter if you write a long article. As long as you violate the law of the Ma family, you can't say that you are a shadow person, you are a member of the Ma family. As long as the evidence is conclusive, you can't be exempted!"

Chen Qun sat upright and said, "Since the lord has said this, Wei Chen will be outspoken." After saying that, Chen Qun took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Ma Chao. When Ma Chao opened it, it was a piece of paper dripping blood: on the paper said that Hongnong, a rich merchant relied on power to bully his peers, cleverly seized it, occupied more than 20 copper mountains and more than 400 hectares of official fields in Hongnong Iron Mine, forcibly purchased more than 30 farms, and even colluded with officials. Up and down, the bitter master had no way to plead, and he was unjust, forcing more than 20 people to die, and the crime was extremely heinous.

This kind of criminal lawsuit can't be traced back to Ma Chao's level at all, but the reason why Chen Qun, the imperial historian and Hongnong Taishou, still went to Chang'an is that the rich businessman has an indescribable relationship with the shadow of the Ma family's most mysterious army - the rich businessman is not someone else, but has just recently taken it from Xuchang. The distant uncle who got clothes and Zhao Mu Yang!

Mu Yang's achievements in stealing clothes and edicts are small, which is an obvious victory for Cao's Jing and Cao; but to large, it is a deadly magic weapon for the Ma family to hold Cao's throat. At the same time, this kind of thing cannot be awarded openly, and it can only be personally instructed by Ma Chao to give Shadow considerable rewards and preferential treatment. But more often, Shadow's family members don't know why they have lost their loved ones. It can be said that Shadow's contribution to the Ma family can be called great. Ma Chao has always felt that even if he gave Shadow a very high military treatment, it is difficult to make up for their sacrifices.

And there is another dimension in the nature of this matter - this is the first and bad commercial case since the Ma family's Daxing business!

What was deeply rooted in the popularization of farming civilization was the promotion of commerce in the Three Kingdoms era. Ma Chao had to take a tough attitude, resolutely crack down on those scholars and powerful families who held objections, and carried out business support reform boldly. As a result, the industrial and commercial development momentum of the Ma family's territory is surprisingly fierce. Although Ma Chao has only engaged in a "investment attraction" business in recent years, the Ma family's business has gradually expanded to the whole rule with Chang'an as the axis, forming a large industrial and commercial base.

Among them, Majia Commercial Bank in Fufeng, Hanjia Commercial Bank in Chang'an (Liu Yue and Fu Shou's joint stock, business bank managed by Zhang Yupan), Lijia Commercial Bank in Jinyang, Guanjia Commercial Bank in Liangzhou, Zhenjia Commercial Bank in Wei County, and all other border shops such as Han Qiang Trading Institute and Han-Hungary Trade Institute have become It is a powerful emerging force that cannot be ignored in the Han Dynasty. The trading scope includes everything from firewood, rice, oil and salt to houses and fields, and has a hidden impact on the trend of old-fashioned giants based on farmland.

Ma Chao was deeply touched by this after seeing the latest tax statement presented by Meng Da at the beginning of this year. As a result of the booming of commerce, the recovery and development of the Ma family is more than three times faster than that of other princes who are generally only self-sufficient farming. In just over a year, the Ma family has reached the point where there is still surplus from the national treasury from the original need to buy grain from Yizhou and Jingzhou. It can be predicted that with another year of accumulation, the Ma family can completely use a large amount of money and countless grain reserves through the acquisition of various businesses to support the Ma family to fight another tough battle.

And for such achievements, Ma Chao secretly got himself. After coming to this era for so long, he can also be called a prosperous career. Now he is also a leader, but he has not expanded himself because of this - this is a common problem of almost all leaders. The saying that a person can't be too successful. If he is too successful, he will be too confident. If he is too confident, he will inevitably There are too many famous bosses in history who have ruined their lives because of this, such as bouncing movements in modern Chinese history.

In Ma Chao's view, engaging in production, doing business and even economic development is a very professional activity. Obviously, he really lacks talent in this area. In this case, Ma Chao came up with the usual practice of shaking the shopkeeper and controlling the government, military and other authorities from reaching out to business, allowing Those industrial and commercial owners are going to toss around. The political system and army of the Ma family only play the role of a thre, such as the stubbornness of the powerful clan that refuse to open the market, and the Ma family will overwhelm it with some justified reasons.

However, since we want to develop the economy, it is inevitable that people with intentions can make a lot of money. Ma Chao remembered that when the Ma army was restructured, civilian objects such as military uniforms, military shoes, bandages and bags should be distributed uniformly. A guy who was originally a second-rate in a remote village in Chang'an took the opportunity to take the lead in organizing villagers to engage in the textile industry. In those three months, he made a lot of money and finally became a rich man with 200 horseshoe gold. At that time, for some political factors and economic development, Ma Chao also asked the propaganda team of the Ministry of Ceremonies to publicize the man as a typical example. Zhong Yu also went to the countryside in person and sent a plaque of 'getting rich'.

The encouraging publicity of such events has led to the mushrooming of various handicraft workshops under the Ma family, and this prosperous scene simply surprises Ma Chao, which always reminds Ma Chao of the myth of Shenzhen's reform and opening up. Fortunately, Ma Chao has always had strict jurisdiction over government agencies and the military, and there has never been any collusion between officials and businessmen.

As a result, the behavior of Mu Yang, a distant uncle, completely touched Ma Chao's bottom line. Chen Qun may feel that this matter is very difficult to deal with considering the position of Shadow in Ma Chao's heart and Ma Chao's vigorous promotion of a rich industrial and commercial country.

After reading the complaint, Ma Chao also felt a headache in the incident. He couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows and unconsciously said what he had said: "Is this serious?"

Chen Qun stood up solemnly, moved a lot of briefs, paper and silk books behind him, and said, "These are all the originals of the plaintiff. The handwriting is not done by one person, and every fact of his words is clear, and some of them are actually unknown to me, so Weichen dares not hide it and came to inform the lord." After saying that, Chen Qun knelt down again: "Since ancient times, martial arts have fought to death, and literature has been edged. Please be clear!"

Looking at Chen Qun, Ma Chao was extremely surprised, and then his heart was heavy. He hurriedly walked down in front of Chen Qun and picked him up and said, "Changwen, these things are left with me. This matter is of great importance and must be kept secret for the time being. You know, I know, and it should not be heard by others. Otherwise, once it angers the army, you will know the consequences.

Chen Qun can silently stab this to Ma Chao in advance. Naturally, he understands this and responds now.

After Ma Chao looked at Chen Qun retreating and looked at the pile of cases, his face suddenly lost the previous solemnity, and even smiled a little: "Uncle Yuanfang? Humph, what a boldness! - However, on the other hand, Mu Yang, Mu Yang, you are really miserable. If you say you don't want to deliver letters anymore, I will let you steal things; now you say you don't want to steal anything anymore, but God doesn't seem to want to let you go..."
