Chapter 233 Salt is a good thing!

The matter of the Ministry of Affairs is also drafted by the Ministry of Central Affairs. After Yang Fu's review, it will be submitted to Ma Chao at the right time. Of course, the construction of this official department is a little huge, which is basically similar to the difficulty of implementing the New Deal. Therefore, Ma Chao did not expect to see the draft before leaving Fufeng.

At present, the appointment of the county guards should be awarded first, and then the things that promote the new policy will also be moved to several county guards. As for what happened to these people after Ma Chao came back from Chang'an, everything is still unknown.

However, at present, the situation of Majia Group can only cross the river by feeling the stones. Summarize experience from success, learn lessons from failure, improve and integrate regulations step by step, and finally establish a sound system and mechanism to achieve a strong revival of the Ma family.

This is the end of the discussion. Next is the visit of Han Sui and Yanpu.

In fact, there is nothing to discuss about this kind of thing that everyone knows. It's nothing more than discussing the bottom line and what the Ma family wants, and then using various means to defeat the other party in the negotiation field.

For Han Sui, Ma Chao and the bigwigs' opinions and requirements are very simple: first, the Tieqiang League moved east to disintegrate Han Sui's peripheral forces; second, to carry out the trade in the two states of Yongliang. Of course, due to Han Sui's mistake first, the previously discussed three-seven shares were changed to 28 points;

These are the best results in the imagination of Ma Chao and all the bosses. But at the same time, they also know that with Han Sui's old-fashioned virtues, they will definitely use other means such as Han Ying, Blade, BMW and so on to bargain with them.

Ma Chao felt a headache enough to deal with a Han Sui. The problem is that there is also Zhang Lu's messenger here: Yanpu.

In fact, when Ma Chao learned about Yanpu, the messenger sent by Zhang Lu, Ma Chao felt uncomfortable all over. Because this Yanpu, in history, is the one who married Ma Chao's daughter-in-law!

Historically, after Ma Chao was defeated by Yang Fu, he defected to Zhang Lu. Seeing that Zhang Lu ruled the county with morality, he was depressed when he learned that Zhang Lu could not do anything.

After the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei occupied four counties in the south of Jingzhou and was in the gap between Cao Cao and Sun Quan. It was difficult to do anything. He dreamed of extending his tentacles to Xichuan. However, Liu Zhang's stupid boy actually took the initiative to invite Liu Bei to Xichuan and asked Liu Bei to help him resist Zhang Lu in the north of Shu County. Liu Bei was overjoyed and quickly led the troops to Xichuan. According to the previous agreement, Liu Bei was stationed at Jiamengguan. After receiving Liu Zhang's money and grain replenishment, he not only did not attack Zhang Lu, but also gave kindness to Guan Guang to buy people's hearts.

In the face of this serious situation of defeating wolves, Huang Quan, Liu Zhang's subordinate, advised Liu Zhang to ask for help from Zhang Lu, because the change of the situation has changed them from enemies to allies. Huang Quan said, "East and west rivers rely on each other; if the west river is broken, the east river is also difficult to protect. If you are willing to send troops to rescue you, my lord promised to cut 20 states and counties as a reward.

Zhang Ruben did not want to agree, but Ma Chao was not a long-lived hero and took the initiative to fight. However, Liu Bei already had Zhuge Liang in his hand at that time, and his slight separation scheme made Ma Chao unable to advance or retreat. After Liu Hui persuaded him, he returned to Liu Bei. Ma Chao's family stranded in Hanzhong had a tragic end: his son Ma Qiu was killed by Zhang Lu, and his wife Dong was given to Yanpu by Cao after Zhang Lu surrendered Cao Cao.

Therefore, Ma Chao has no goodwill with Zhang Lu and this meritorious Cao Yanpu in Hanzhong. Especially this Yanpu who made Ma Chao wear a green hat!

Ma Chao only wanted to make the two families at peace before, and never took the initiative to provoke Zhang Lu. As a result, Ma Chao did not look for trouble, but Zhang Lu took the initiative to provoke Ma Chao. Now that he learned about the strength of the Ma family, he took the initiative to apologize.

A fart gift!

Ma Chao really understands that these military and political events are not like playing house with children. He said that he would return to the past after a fight and then apologized!

Before the battle of Guangwei County began, although it did not use knives and guns, it was also doomed that the Ma family could no longer have no intersection with Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. In the political game, what we pay attention to is the art of vertical and horizontal. And if the Ma family doesn't even have the method and courage to deal with this, it will be too ridiculous.

What's more, Ma Chao has always been greedy for an important strategic material in Hanzhong: salt in Hanzhong!

In ancient times, it was not as convenient as modern times. When there was no salt in the cooking, I went to the supermarket to buy a bag. When I came back, I found that the dish had not been stir-fried yet. I just put salt and stir-fried it, and then served it on the table...

In the Han Dynasty, salt and iron were both strategic materials, which were run by officials. That is to say, if you want to buy salt, you must go to the government to buy it, and you can't buy more at a time, just like the planned economy.

Hanzhong is a large county that produces halogen salt, and in Ma Chao's impression, Zhang Lu, an unlucky child, does not know what a legal society is at all. He uses religion to manage counties and counties, and there are no officials at all. Therefore, if Hanzhong asked Zhang Lu to do this, the salt did not form an industry, let alone a scale.

If we take this opportunity to make the salt industry in Hanzhong bigger and stronger, implement monopoly operations, form an industrial chain, and sell Liangzhou and even further away. The interests are absolutely horrible! The GDP of the Ma family will never be as simple as doubled! In a sentence from Taijun, there are great benefits!

Therefore, even if Ma Chao is uncomfortable with Yanpu's visit, the small plan in his heart still needs to be calculated: last night, Ma Chao carefully thought about the halogen salt and felt that it was really possible from the root.

First, Zhang Lu belongs to the kind of idealist. He only relies on people's subjective initiative and does not consider objective laws, which can be seen from his religious concepts to govern a county or county. This shows that Zhang Lu is the representative of the metaphysical school, and the further inference is that he can't see the value of salt.

Second, Zhang Lu accepted the Taoist idea of incompetuation, and there was no such awareness of business and financial management at all. Yanpu accepted the orthodox Confucian concept and still recognized the social positioning of 'man, agriculture, industry and commerce'. That is to say, even if Zhang Lu or Yanpu see the value of salt, they will think that doing business is a 'common thing' and hinders the name...

Therefore, these two conditions determined that Zhang Lu and Yanpu would not prevent themselves from getting involved in the salt industry in Hanzhong. As for the current situation, Zhang Lu still came to pull the relationship this time, and he should not be unable to erase his face because of this 'little thing'...

Therefore, in this discussion, in addition to agreeing to the strategy of "connecting horizontally and using it lightly" discussed by those bigwigs, Ma Chao specially proposed halogen salt as an important strategic resource. After Ma Chao's edification, the thoughts of the bosses have long been much more advanced than those pedantic Confucian students, and they have shown that they can try to contact this matter. When necessary, trade cooperation can also be realized.

Meng Da paid special attention to this, and even after discussing with the bigwigs, he suggested to Ma Chao: "Lord, the Hanzhong salt industry must be in your hands. If this negotiation is acceptable, someone recommended his father to visit Hanzhong again..."

After listening to this, Ma Chao was shocked and was simply moved by Meng Da's spirit of making money for the Ma family: Meng Da is worthy of being the first financial member of our Ma family! Unexpectedly, even my father dared to sell it in order to make money!!
