Chapter 1325 Development

Cai Yong, who gathered literary, martial arts and miscellaneous talents and rarely appeared in front of Ma Chao, stroked his already white beard and smiled for the first time: "Superer, all the talents in the world are from the Ma family, so the difficulty of princes can be settled!"

Facing Cai Yong's comfortable smile, Ma Chao also smiled gently. Over the years, Cai Yong has gradually integrated into the Ma family, and his relationship with Ma Chao has also been greatly thawed. More often, the two have been the kindness between Weng's son-in-law. However, this time, after Ma Chao just smiled, his eyebrows locked a touch of sigh: "Lord Taishan is too optimistic. This is just the beginning..."

Subsequently, Ma Chao quickly held a group meeting and began to shake off his arms. Fortunately, after six years of running-in development, the Ma family's new policy has been quite perfect. Under the conscientious compilation, there has been a complete edition of the Administrative Rules in the Ma government group system. At the same time, with the vigorous popularization and development of printing, Ma Chao's practical idea of governing the world is rapidly spreading to seven states, one Sichuan and four counties with this book carrier model.

During this period, Ma Chao also dedicated himself to political affairs. Fortunately, there is a large number of elite talents in governing the world and the supplement of grass-roots officials. Under the efficient and systematic operation of the Ma family's three-provincial and six-ministerial official system, the Ma family has not yet moved to a unified model in Bingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou and Jingzhou. The old pattern was quickly broken, and some refused to submit. The strong men of the Ma family were destroyed by the shadow overnight. During that time, the two cold and warm colors of the galloping iron horse and the people who got the land became the main theme of the four states.

At the same time, the Ma family's unique new technology industries such as crops, textiles, smelting and manual trade have also spread in four states. Those new officials ignited three fires and devoted themselves to this glorious battle with great enthusiasm and honor. Soon, the arrogance of their books and the smell of talking about the Xuanjing were wiped out. In the actual combat again and again, some of them, who were once inattentive, even began to fight shirtless and hang out with the old farmers.

But even so, this silent battle is not smooth. Grain cannot grow out of the field in a day, and commercial negotiations cannot be integrated into seven states at a clear and real price. People need to drink water, eat, wear clothes, housing, and use tools to work. It takes hundreds of workshops to work for several months to distribute these buildings such as new curved ploughs, carts, rotary carts, irrigation and drainage. It takes hundreds of workshops to work for several months. Spending money is like running water, and you can't see the money.

Moreover, there are many people, afraid of accidents, afraid of chaos, afraid that the people below will not understand the hardships of the people and harm the people, afraid of encountering major events, the emptyness of countless fights in the national treasury... After finishing the imperial examination, Ma Chao was so busy with three months, Ma Chao was too busy to hit the back of his head, and also took time to carry out a brainwashing and law popularization campaign.

However, Tiangong is not beautiful. After the Spring Festival, Sizhou ushered in another rainstorm. The rain has been down for seven days and seven nights, and the horizontal embankment is in emergency everywhere.

On the embankment of the Weihe River in the north of Chang'an City, the wind roared, the rain arrows like locusts, and the Wei River, which had always been calm, was like a run-out wild horse. It ran from the west to the east, with a resolute momentum without hesitation, carrying the cold wind, foaming white, washing the embankment, making a loud noise. In the center of the river, the water level has risen higher than the embankment, and you can see the huge white waves outside the embankment.

Ma Chao immediately ordered all the following officials to go up to the embankment, and the army everywhere urgently mobilized to strictly guard against it, ensure the safety of the embankment, the safety of Chang'an City, and the safety of 800-li Guanzhong Liangtian. Zhong You personally sat on the embankment of the Wei River for several days to encourage the soldiers and civilians to fight, and finally fainted.

Ma Chao heard about this on the levee and ordered him to be sent back home. Then go to visit him. He had woken up and looked at the layers of rain curtains outside the window, but sighed slightly, "Lord, we are a little too eager for quick success..." Ma Chao understood what Zhong Yu meant and unified the great cause ahead. All his policies and instructions went for rapid development, and a large number of water conservancy facilities were built, destroying the flood control function of the dams on both sides. As a result, a rainstorm may wipe out the efforts of the Ma family for many years.

"Lord, the century-old tree, is under the root. The foundation is unstable, and everything is false..." Zhong Yu said this and fell into a deep sleep.

Ma Chao sighed for a long time. After ordering his servants to take good care of Zhong Yu, he returned to the embankment. When I went up the embankment again, I saw Han Ying and Lu Qiling mixed in the army in casual clothes, full of mud and water, and I couldn't see their true face at all.

"Why did you two come here?" Ma Chao asked.

"All the guards have been dispatched, and so are our female tiger camp." Lu Qiling did not raise her head and immediately replied.

"Nonsense!" Ma Chao shouted: You are women, you know! It's not that you don't know the danger on the dam. Take the female tiger camp back home!"

Han Ying was dissatisfied and shouted, "Don't look down on us women! If it weren't for something important, the mistress and other sisters would also come!"

Ma Chao was even more angry when he heard the words, but he couldn't wait for him to speak again, but Lv Qiling solemnly saluted Ma Chao: "Husband, we are both Ma's wife and female tiger battalion officers, so we should come to this dam!" We are not as good as Cai's mother in the unification and education. We are not as good as Sister Yue and Sister Shou in business and trade. We don't have the ability to spy on and monitor the world by military aircraft. If my husband no longer allows us to perform the duties of Ma's wife and soldiers, please give us a break!" After saying this, Lv Qiling pulled Han Ying away and fought against the flood in his place.

Looking at their backs, Ma Chao couldn't help choking and shouted, "Brother Chou, take a few people to protect them."

After seven days, the rainstorm finally stopped. At that time, on the dam, in addition to Ma Chao, there were also old men such as Jia Xu, Lv Bu, Cai Yong, Huangfu Song and Zhu Yan, as well as Zhao Yun, Xu Rong, Li Yan, Meng Da, Xun You, Li Ru and other famous generals of the Ma family. Looking at the surging white waves gradually calmed down the stream, these flat The big shots who didn't smile at all burst out with a gratifying smile.

Fortunately, the flood did not cause a large-scale flood disaster except for the destruction of some tube cars and a small number of fields. The foundation of the Ma family has not been destroyed, and everything is still possible. Fortunately, this natural disaster is no longer full of rumors from the time of the earthquake. During this period, many people still participated in flood control and relief independently, and their credibility to the Ma family has been quite strong.

However, when he thought of Zhong Yu's ill worries and the mixed figure of Lv Qiling and Han Ying's muddy water, he couldn't help but feel a little sore nose and hair. Since then, Ma Chao has been no longer eager for quick success and began to invest a large amount of manpower and material resources in infrastructure construction. Based on Chang'an, the whole Ma family then moved towards an orderly development model that would benefit thousands of years.

It was easy to boil to the winter wheat harvest in June, and with a large number of grain and grass reserves such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, etc., Ma Chao took a breather. In any case, the remaining time is the struggle to accumulate combat strength and military resources. Ma Chao is quite satisfied with this. After all, he is one step ahead of the Sun family, who has signs of civil strife, and Liu Bei, who is fighting to the death of Nanman Menghuo.

Unfortunately, Cao Cao in Yanzhou has been more successful than the Ma family, and Tuntian, seeking talents and reform have been made one after another. At this moment, it has entered the second round of military expansion. This made Ma Chao very puzzled. After Diao Chan took out a piece of information, Ma Chao's face became very entangled and strange. He didn't know how to evaluate Cao Cao.

"Cao Cao made a fortune by this?" Ma Chao stroked his forehead and was a little disbelief: "Our business goes directly to the Western Regions, Jiaozhou and the northern Xinjiang, which is not as fast as Cao Cao's organization to touch Captain Jin and make a fortune?"

"My husband, you don't know that although the wind of thick burial flourishes in the royal emperors, it is really popularized by princes and local officials. In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, there were more than 3,000 funeral objects in a district, of which gold, silver and jewelry accounted for one-third, which was thousands of pieces! The land of Yan and Yu where Cao Cao is based has always been a feng shui treasure with talents. There are not a thousand or 800 tombs of princes and ministers around. Although Cao Cao's move is a little disgusting, it is indeed a fast way to get rich.

"Yes," Ma Chao nodded and agreed very much, and then said deliberately, "Moreover, Cao Cao opened this road to prosperity after I agreed with him to send troops and drove out Jiangdong Sun Ce to cancel the debts of the four counties of Youzhou... This guy, if he doesn't get rid of it for a day, it's really a trouble."

After saying this, Ma Chao's eyes flashed, and his eyebrows frowned slightly, but his mouth seemed to smile. Seeing this, Diao Chan couldn't help covering her mouth and smiling: "husband, don't you also want to make a fortune?"

"Well, it's nothing... Ha, haha..." Ma Chao smiled and then replied awkwardly, "I'm sorry for those people. You see, the person is dead and the money hasn't been spent yet. What are you looking for... Hey!"
