Chapter 228 Face Engineering Still needs to be done

When Meng Da sent the latest financial statements to Ma Chao, he deliberately ordered the cost of the return ceremony with a sad face.

And Ma Chao was also shocked: "Face project, is it so expensive? How could it cost two hundred yuan of gold?

Seeing Ma Chao's surprised and reluctant appearance, Meng Da felt better: it seems that the lord is in charge of the house, and he also knows that firewood and rice are expensive... But the following sentence made Meng Da want to cry for his mother.

"Not bad! Although it costs a little more, it's definitely worth it! Meng Da and Zhang, you two have done a good job. Each of you will receive two pieces of money as bonuses!"

Zhang is very happy, and it is comfortable to work in the Ma family. When it's okay, the master never looks for trouble. And when something happens, as long as you risk your life to move forward, the reward after the event will not be less! Zhang has received the extra salary of the bonus twice. Every time he receives it back, it feels more than just a surprise brought by the number of bonuses: this is the master's value!

And Meng Da's face was very interesting. Obviously, he was very happy to receive the bonus. And paying money from his finance department makes him very distressed: this feeling of pain and happiness really makes him very entangled and entangled every time... Finally, for the long-term stability of the Ma family and his duty, Meng Da said cruelly, "Lord, I still don't want my bonus. After all, the Ma family is not financial enough now..."

When he said this, Meng Da's tone was very low, and he felt a little against his mind: this feeling of being unable to get along with money, it was very painful for anyone to say...

Ma Chao was also stunned. After staring into Meng Da's eyes for a while, he smiled happily. And Jia Xu, Fa Zheng and Yang Fu beside him also squeezed their lips without trace: This Meng Da is really a wonderful person. Under the master's use, it's so entangled that people can't help laughing.

"Zidu, since the lord has a reward, you can go and get it. If I expected it well, Han Sui has sent us a lot of property, which will definitely greatly exceed this cost!" Jia Xu stroked his goatee, or felt more at ease when he returned to Fufeng: "Do you think your lord is the kind of person with great joy? This grand return is just to let Han Sui see how supported the people under the rule of the Ma family and how powerful the Ma family's military appearance is. Such a psychological shock is enough to give us more bargaining chips!"

When Meng Da heard Jia Xu say this, his eyes suddenly changed when he looked at Ma Chao. What's more surprising is that Yang Fu continued to say, "Brother Zidu, don't be trapped by the master. The Lord knows about this ceremony! In addition to Han Sui from Liangzhou, didn't Zhang Lu from Hanzhong also send an envoy?

Next, Yang Fu doesn't need to make it so clear, but Meng Da patted his forehead: "That's right, it's his father Meng who is responsible for receiving these two people. Why didn't you connect these two things?

Ma Chao looked at the explanation of the two people and nodded slightly. After returning the financial statement to Meng Da, he said, "In fact, there is another factor for me to do this. I don't know who can guess it?"

Jia Xu and Yang Fu looked at each other and obviously speculated. It's just that he doesn't want to show his head again, but the child of Fazheng is not so resourceful. He rushed to say, "Recruitment!"

"That's right, it's recruitment!" Ma was very happy and told you the idea in his heart: "The Ma family has now unified Yongzhou and ruled 30,000 standing military power, which is used to shock the princes and Saiwai. Therefore, the recruitment of soldiers is imminent. Moreover, when he goes to Chang'an, the stronger the Ma army behind him is, the more afraid Dong Zhuo will be, and his life will be safer.

"Therefore, this grand return ceremony is not only to be held, but also to be so grand. By the way, tomorrow's award ceremony is also more grand according to the letter before I came back, and the list is announced, so that the people in the city know that tomorrow the Ma family's barracks will be open to the people. If the people are interested, they can enter the camp to watch..."

"Lord, today is just a city gate and street, and more than a thousand county soldiers have been sent to maintain order. If the people are allowed to go to the barracks, I'm afraid..." Sure enough, Zhang did not consider the benefits of Ma Chao's recruitment at all, but thought of his own public security problem first.

"Hahaha... Isn't Zhang Junshou joking? Pound smiled kindly and said, "Lord Derong, don't forget that the people go to the barracks. In addition to those decorated soldiers, how can the remaining tens of thousands of soldiers cause accidents to the people?"

Zhang also smiled after hearing this and said to Pound, "I'm in a trance, laughing generously, laughing generously... However, I'm afraid that General Huang will be tired today and tomorrow. Today, Fufeng County has poured into many spies and the Shadow Camp under his command..."

In fact, Brother Ugly still came back in front of Ma Chao, but after receiving the order, he stayed outside the city for two days. On the third day, he entered the city with Ma Chao and felt the enthusiasm of the people of Fufeng County. Secondly, Miss Ruxue learned that Brother Ug had the title of "Ghost-faced General" in Fufeng County, and her good impression of Ugly Brother was even higher.

At this time, Brother Chou was still thinking about how to pour oil on the fire and completely deceive Miss Ruxue. Hearing that Zhang mentioned the business, his face immediately darkened and he smiled: "Don't worry, those people are all registered under my eyes. If anyone dares not open his eyes tomorrow, we will do him immediately!"

"My lord is wise!" Yang Fu said, "If the people visit the Ma family's military camp tomorrow, and the benefits of military reform have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, then this recruitment will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!"

"It's more than doing twice the result with half the effort? Yang Bei didn't know anything. Before this return ceremony, the recruitment center set up outside the barracks was also very popular. Many children of large families were also proud to be soldiers and thought of ways to join the Ma family army!" Pound rubbed his hands and said excitedly.

Yes, under Ma Chao's strong advocacy and preferential treatment of being a soldier, the young people under the Ma family are proud to join the Ma army. The conscription stations always surrounded some young people who tried to join the army. The recruiting officers who used to hit barriers and were hated by everyone are now hot and have become popular in the eyes of neighbors. Many people, including some landlords and children of rich families, sharpened their heads and squeezed into the army. For this reason, they did not hesitate to bribe the responsible officers, and the money and beauty were omnised.

However, in general, these people have a small success rate, because the conditions for joining the Ma family army are clearly written in the military reform that there are also special leaders responsible for training in the later stage when conscription. If there is fraud is found, the punishment consequences are very serious, just one The punishment of never being able to enter the Ma family will make many people strictly self-disciplined to protect their vital interests.

For more than half a year, Ma Chao has been committed to the route of elite soldiers. For the armed forces, it has simply reached an outrageous stage. It is not too much to spend money, which makes Meng Da sometimes be anxious to jump up and curse with Ma Chao, who was still a young master. Therefore, for more than half a year, the financial situation of the Ma family has been very annoying to support a 35,000-person army, and there has been no plan to expand it, which undoubtedly disappoints those young people who are eager to be loyal to the country.

I believe that this expansion of recruitment will definitely trigger a 'join' and bring the strength of the Ma family to a new level.

"If that's good." Ma Chao narrowed his eyes and thought: Does he know that the reason why those powerful children want to join the army is to transfer their fields to the names of their children and pay less taxes...

To be honest, Ma Chao really doesn't like the three melons of those big families now. Besides, these big families were left behind because of their good conduct and reputation. If they had been a vicious guy, they would have been fabricated with various crimes by ugly brother at the beginning.

"This recruitment cannot be limited to Fufeng County. We should recruit troops from the whole Yongzhou, and select a good source of soldiers who are strong, simple and loyal, preferably those who have fought, and fill the Ma family army. This expansion will be expanded to..." Speaking of this, Ma Chao looked at Meng Da and said cautiously, "Expanded to 50,000 conventional combat troops!"

After hearing the number of '50,000', Meng Da couldn't help sighing in his heart: Fortunately, he only expanded 20,000 people. If the master's nerves to get 100,000 people, even if he commits it, he will have a big fight with him!
