Three Kingdoms New Malaysia Super League

Chapter 1313 Development Road
Cai Yong, who seldom showed his face in front of Ma Chao, stroking his gray beard and laughing for the first time, said, "Chaoer, the world's elites all follow the Ma family. It's flat!"

Faced with Cai Yong's comfortable smile, Ma Chao also slightly pursed his lips into a smile.Over the years, Cai Yong has gradually integrated into the Ma family, and his relationship with Ma Chao has also greatly thawed out. The relationship between the two has more often been that of Weng and his son-in-law.But this time, after Ma Chao just smiled, his eyebrows locked with a sigh of regret: "Master Taishan is too optimistic, this is just the beginning..."

Afterwards, Ma Chao quickly held a group meeting and began to throw up his arms and do a big job.Fortunately, after six years of running-in development, the Ma family's New Deal has been quite complete.Under the conscientious compilation of Bu Zhi, the Ma family government group system already has a complete version of the "Administrative Rules".At the same time, with the vigorous popularization and development of printing, Ma Chao's practical thoughts on governing the world are rapidly spreading across the seven states, one Sichuan and four counties in this book carrier mode.

During this period, Ma Chao also devoted himself to political affairs.Fortunately, chopping wood is not a mistake to sharpen knives. With the gathering of a large number of elite governance talents and the supplement of middle and lower grassroots officials, and under the efficient and systematic operation of the official system of the three provinces and six ministries of the Ma family, the Ma family has not yet moved towards a unified model. In Bingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou, and Jingzhou, the old pattern was quickly broken, and some powerful nobles who refused to submit to the Ma family were wiped out overnight by the shadows.During that time, the two cool and warm colors of the galloping iron cavalry and the joy of the people who got the land became the main theme of the land of the four states.

At the same time, new technological industries such as crops, textiles, smelting, and handmade trade unique to the Ma family have also spread across the land of the four states.Those new students, Erlang, ignited three fires and devoted themselves to this glorious battle with great enthusiasm and honor.Soon, the arrogance of scholars and the aura of talking about the classics on them were wiped out.In the actual battles, some of them, who used to be inactive, even began to fight shirtless, mixing with old peasant porters.

But even so, this silent battle was not smooth sailing.Grain cannot grow from the ground in a day, and business negotiations cannot be integrated into the seven states at once.People need water, food, clothing, housing, and tools for work. Just the new-type curved plow, columbine cart, rotary cart, and irrigation water drainage buildings, which are distributed to various places, require hundreds of workshops to work. Within a month, spending money was like flowing water, I only saw money out but couldn't see money in.

Moreover, there are too many people, afraid of accidents, afraid of chaos, afraid that the people below will not understand the hardships of the people, filling their own pockets and harming the people, and fearing that the state treasury will be empty in the event of a major event... After busying with the imperial examination, Ma Chao was busy developing. I was so busy that I hit the back of my head, and even took the time to organize a brainwashing campaign.

However, the weather was not beautiful. After the Spring Festival, Sizhou ushered in another heavy rain.This rain lasted for seven consecutive days and seven nights, leveling the embankment and causing emergency everywhere.

On the embankment of the Weihe River in the north of Chang'an City, the wind howled, and the rain arrows were like locusts. The Weihe River, which had always been calm, was running from west to east like a wild horse without hesitation, carrying the cold wind and foaming white foam. Scouring the embankment made a rumbling noise.In the center of the river, the water level has already exceeded the embankment, and beyond the embankment, you can see the white waves.

Ma Chao immediately ordered all officials below the prefect to go to the embankment, and the troops from all over the place were mobilized urgently to strictly guard against death, to ensure the safety of the embankment, the safety of Chang'an City, and the safety of the eight hundred li Guanzhong farmland.Zhong Yao personally sat on the embankment of the Wei River for several days, encouraging the soldiers and civilians to fight, and finally fainted.

When Ma Chao heard about this on the embankment, he ordered him to die and send him back to his residence.Then go visit him.He had woken up, looked at the layers of rain curtain outside the window, but sighed slightly: "My lord, we are a little too eager for quick success..." Ma Chao understood Zhong Yao's meaning, and the great cause of unification came first.All of his policies and instructions were aimed at 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 heavy rain may wipe out the years of hard work of the Ma family.

"My lord, a hundred-year-old tree grows under its roots. The foundation is not stable, and everything is false..." After Zhong Yao finished speaking, he fell into a deep sleep.

Ma Chao was emotional for a long time, and after ordering his servants to take care of Zhong Yao, he went back to the embankment.When they went up to the embankment again, they saw Han Ying and Lu Qiling mixed in casual clothes among the army. Their bodies were covered in mud and water, and they couldn't see their true colors at all.

"You two, why did you come here?" Ma Chao Zhuma asked.

"All the Guards are dispatched, and so is our Tigress Battalion." Lu Qiling replied immediately without raising her head.

"Nonsense!" Ma Chao yelled loudly: You are women, do you know that?It's not like you don't know the danger on the embankment, so hurry up and take the Tigress Camp home! "

Han Ying was dissatisfied, and rebuked loudly: "Don't look down on us women! If there is no important matter, Mistress Yan and other sisters will also come!"

Ma Chao was even more annoyed when he heard the words, but before he could speak again, Lu Qiling solemnly bowed to Ma Chao: "My lord, we are both Ma's wife and an officer of the Tigress Battalion, so we should come to this embankment! Command and educate us." We are not as good as Madam Cai, we are not as good as Sister Yue and Sister Shou in business and trade, and we do not have the ability of Sister Cicada to spy on and monitor the world. If the husband does not allow us to perform the duties of Ma's wife and soldiers, please write a letter of divorce. Let's take a break!" After these words, Lu Qiling took Han Ying and left, and fought the flood elsewhere.

Looking at their backs, Ma Chao couldn't help but choked up, and shouted, "Brother Ugly, take a few people with you to protect them."

Seven days later, the torrential rain finally stopped. At that time, besides Ma Chao, other elders such as Jia Xu, Lu Bu, Cai Yong, Huangfusong, Zhu Jun, Zhao Yun, Xu Rong, Li Yan, Meng Da, etc. were standing on the embankment. Xun You, Li Ru, the important generals of the Ma family, watched the white waves gradually calm down and flow down the river. These big men who are usually unsmiling all broke out knowing smiles.

Fortunately, this flood did not cause large-scale flood disasters except for the destruction of some bobbins and a small amount of fields.The foundation of the Ma family has not been destroyed, and everything is still possible.The good news is that this time of natural disaster, there were no more rumors during the Sili earthquake. During the period, many people participated in the flood control and disaster relief, and their trust in the Ma family was quite solid.

However, thinking of Zhong Yao's sickly worry and Lu Qiling's, Han Ying's muddy figure, he, who is stronger than Ma Chao, can't help but feel a little sore.Since then, Ma Chao has no longer been eager for quick success, and has begun to invest a lot of manpower and material resources in infrastructure construction.Taking Chang'an as the starting point, the entire Ma family ruled into an orderly development model that will benefit the future.

After finally surviving the bumper harvest of winter wheat in June, coupled with the large amount of food and grass reserves such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn, Ma Chao took a breather.In any case, the remaining time is spent on accumulating combat power and military resources.Ma Chao was quite satisfied with this point. After all, compared with the Sun family who was already showing signs of civil strife, and Liu Bei who was fighting against Meng Huo of the Nanman, he was already one step ahead.

It's a pity that Cao Cao's place in Yanzhou is even more prosperous than Ma's family, with farming, seeking talents, and reforms one after another.At this moment, it has entered the stage of the second round of military expansion.This made Ma Chao very puzzled by the situation. After Diao Chan came out with a letter of information, Ma Chao's face became very tangled and strange, not knowing how to evaluate Cao Cao.

"Is this how Cao Cao got rich?" Ma Chao rubbed his forehead, a little in disbelief: "Our business has direct access to the Western Regions, Jiaozhou, and northern borders, and it's not as fast as Cao Cao's organization to touch gold captains and make money from dead people?"

"Husband, you don't know. Although the style of lavish burials flourished in the royal family, it was really popular among princes, ministers and local officials. In the early Western Han Dynasty, there were more than [-] burial objects in a mere hundred households, and gold, silver and jewelry were among them. Accounting for one-third, that's thousands of pieces! And the lands Cao Cao occupies in Yan and Yu have always been treasured lands of geomantic omen, where talents are born in large numbers, and there are not one thousand tombs of princes and ministers around, but there are also eight hundred. Although Cao Cao's move is somewhat Disgusting, but certainly a get-rich-quick route.”

"That's right," Ma Chao nodded, agreeing very much, and then specifically said: "Besides, this Cao Cao only started this way to get rich after I agreed with him to send troops to drive away Jiangdong Sun Ce and cancel the debts of the four counties of Youzhou... This Guy, if you don't get rid of it for a day, it's really a heartache."

After saying this, Ma Chao's eyes flickered, his brows were slightly wrinkled, but there was a faint smile on his mouth.Seeing this, Diao Chan couldn't help covering her mouth and smiling: "Husband, don't you also want to make a fortune?"

"Wow, what's the matter...ha, haha..." Ma Chao concealed a smile, and then replied embarrassingly: "I feel sorry for those people. Look, people are dead, and the money hasn't been spent yet. What are you trying to do?" Ah... hey!"
