Chapter 1194 The Knowledge of Spending Money

During the turbulent five years of Xingping, people in the entire Han Dynasty were a little overwhelmed.No matter whether it is the powerful princes or the common people, they could never have imagined that in just half a year, the two nobles who had tightly suppressed the Han Dynasty from the south to the north disappeared in smoke.

Many insightful people in the field, in the first half of the year, either on the high hall or among the thatched huts, talked about the victory or defeat of the Yuan clan's internal struggles, which is very likely to be the result of completely overthrowing the authority of the Han Dynasty to the point of decline. Two factors.However, in the blink of an eye, the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were quickly destroyed one after another as if they were going to tease the world.

Some people call this year the "Yuan Nian of Tian Mie", because those who can't believe it think that apart from the way of heaven, there is no other way to explain why the turbulent world is so unpredictable.But at the same time, some people also call this year the 'Qingping First Year', because after Yuan Shu's fall, the surging power of the young generation from the south to the north is now stepping onto the stage of the feudal lords' hegemony with a strong momentum.

Especially on October [-] of this year, the world was shocked after the news that Ma Chao was conferred the title of "King Yong" in the Deyang Hall of Chang'an.Many people didn't want to believe their ears at first, but with the spread and operation of the Majia caravan and the ubiquitous shadows, people have heard that this is the case in the streets and streets for a whole month. information.Then, as one after another explosive news came one after another, they all believed it to be true.

"Have you heard? Ma Chao of Chang'an has been conferred the title of King Yong. This is the first king with a different surname after more than [-] years of the Han Dynasty!" A person on the street said mysteriously.

"I've known about this news for a long time. Moreover, I also heard that Ma Chao's conferment ceremony cost a total of [-] million yuan!"

"Really, so much money?!" The man opened his mouth for a long while, and finally shook his head and said, "How is this possible? How could it be possible to spend so much money for a conferring ceremony?!"

"You don't understand that, do you?" Another voice came up: "Do you think becoming King Yong is the same as marrying your wife? I heard that on the day Ma Chao was enshrined, he wore jade curtains and oriental beads on his head, and white tiger leather boots on his feet. They wore even more radiant and splendid royal robes! There was also a military parade afterwards, a total of [-] Ma family soldiers were all dressed in armor made of gold, and even the saddles were gilded! Also, there were pendulums Banquets, the people of Chang'an may have a feast on the street that day... Tell me, is [-] million yuan enough for such an expense?"

"This, this, this..." This person "this" for a long time, finally recovered from the phenomenon, and said sternly: "This Ma family is really rich!! Not half of others, right?!"

"You mean that unlucky imperial court? Ha, can it compare with the Ma family?..."

For a month, everywhere the Han ruled, everyone was talking about Ma Chao's respect and honor when he was granted the title.But without exception, every time it comes to the end, people will always unconsciously compare the richest, most expensive, and most dignified imperial court with the Ma family, but the result makes people shake their heads: This world has really changed.

With the name of Cai Yong, a master of Confucian classics, in front of him, Ma Chao's conferment ceremony this time did not exceed the limit.No one can pick faults from it, at most, the excuse they can attack is that the Xinyong King's character is too perverse and arrogant.

The pain and joy of spending money like running water is perfectly interpreted by Meng Da.On the day he was entrusted with the title, Meng Da never imagined that he would see such splendor and splendor, the majesty and majesty when he and Ma Chao personally inspected the army, and the thunderous cheers when the whole Chang'an people were more excited than the festival. cheer.

But when he thought of the splendor and excitement of cooking with boiling oil based on the cost of [-] million yuan, Meng Da felt pain in his liver, lungs, and intestines... Anyway, there was no pain anywhere in his body. ——So far, he has never thought of why Ma Chao would burn such money, and Guo Jia didn't give him an explanation, just smiled and said: "Just wait and see."

'This is burning money! 'Finally one night in his sleep, Meng Da yelled out these words hoarsely, and the beautiful girl beside him hurriedly used her jade-like warmth to gag Meng Da's mouth.

However, what is strange is that Meng Da actually discovered a series of unpredictable events next.

On October [-], Liu Bei, the prefect of Runan, and Uncle Liu Huang came to Chang'an to congratulate him and greeted Ma Chao as a minister.After the news came out, the whole world was in an uproar.Some people say that Liu Bei has lost all the face of the clan of the Han family, but others say that Liu Bei conforms to the general trend and is a hero in troubled times.

If Liu Bei's congratulations brought nothing more than raging discussions, then Cao Cao sent Cao Tai to Chang'an to congratulate him again, which would have the effect of an earthquake—everyone knows that the Ma family and Cao Cao had just met in Jizhou. It's a deadly battle, but they never imagined that these two families are just like children playing house, saying that they will reconcile? !

No one wanted to believe such an absurd fact, but Liu Biao from Jingzhou and Liu Zhang from Yizhou couldn't sit still first. After hearing the news, they immediately sent envoys to Chang'an to congratulate Ma's family.Liu Biao, in particular, deliberately brought a large amount of money and food to make up for the small misunderstanding between the two families when the Ma family prevented Liu Biao from sending troops to Yingchuan.This turned what should have been the Ma family's overreaching into Liu Biao's belated humility.Although this change is unknown, it has indeed become the current Ma family, which is a proof that the Han Dynasty is the most powerful and dominates the princes.

The subsequent developments made Meng Da and everyone else dumbfounded. On October [-], Ma Chao sent only one general, Pound, and a mere [-] soldiers, and they successfully took over the four counties of Jizhou.This time, the two families seem to have resumed the tacit understanding they had when they fought against Yuan. When Pang De rushed to Wei County, Cao Jun's guarding general Jin had put his swords and guns into the warehouse, and sealed up the grain and grass, waiting for the Ma's army to come to accept it.The same was true for the three counties afterwards, and the smoothness of the process was unimaginable.

After this incident, the Ma family really took the title of King Yong, commanded six prefectures, three counties and four counties, and became the well-deserved number one prince of the Han Dynasty in one fell swoop.Moreover, there is no danger in the northern border, and there are military generals like clouds and counselors like rain inside.Even if any stratum of the big man regards the Ma family as the noble family of the enemy chieftain, they don't have much confidence to slander the Ma family-in the face of absolute strength, any ingenious rumors will be useless.

Such a series of chain reactions happened one after another, and Meng Da finally realized why Ma Chao and those foxes were desperately trying to make their faces swollen to pretend to be fat: in such a chaotic world of iron, blood and falsehood, people's hearts are swaying like duckweed, swaying like clouds of smoke. Taking advantage of the void can best become the criterion for judging their orientation.Ma Chao and those foxes have seen through the hearts of the people, so they will use the most solemn, exaggerated, and most confusing ceremony to make the hearts of all the subjects beat with the grand future of the Ma family, and become a part of the complete transformation of the Ma family. an inner motivator.

Nowadays, Li Shu, who still thinks that the Ma family is just a martial arts family from one side?Under the effect of this month's continuous bombing, everyone has raised the Ma family to a tyrannical existence that seals off the border, divides the land, and can stand up to the current imperial court. If anyone dares to doubt these, others will come immediately One sentence: "Can you spend [-] million yuan to hold a conferring ceremony? Can you let the princes from all over the world come to congratulate you? Can you sit on nearly half of the territory of the Han Dynasty?!"

Therefore, after going back and forth to settle the accounts, Meng Da found out that the [-] million yuan was not spent unjustly!Those intangible benefits are really priceless!Therefore, with a tangled expression of pain but not heart, he bowed to Ma Chaoshen: "My lord is well versed in people's hearts and understands the overall situation. Zidu has been taught this time."

But Ma Chao's face was not half happy. He casually threw the valuable Dongzhu Yulian Boguan on the table, blew out a smoke ring, and then said inscrutablely: "Hey, this is the same as the young couple. Life is normal. When you are happy and happy, you must have a romantic honeymoon. But after you have spent all your savings, you should fall from the clouds and enjoy the helplessness of daily necessities."

At this moment, surrounded by smoke and clouds, Ma Chao suddenly had the aura of a lonely housekeeper, which made Meng Da confused again.
