Chapter 401 Fufeng Water Conservancy
Looking at the familiar city wall of Fufeng, Ma Chao suddenly had a feeling.It was as if he had never time-traveled, and his life started from Fufeng.

In two years, without knowing it, Ma Chao already had a sense of belonging to this world.As for the memories of the previous life, they gradually began to blur: here is the starting point of his dreams; there are people he loves and trusts; there are also every scenery he is familiar with.

However, this return, Ma Chao still found something different from before.The biggest change is that running water has been introduced into Fufeng City!

Looking at the sparkling small river circling Fufeng County and irrigating the farmland on both sides, Ma Chao couldn't help feeling deeply moved, because he felt that the current Fufeng actually had the flavor of a new socialist community.

"This..." Ma Chao pointed to the small river flowing into Fufeng City, and couldn't help calling Han Feng to ask.

"My lord, this is thanks to Mr. Zhang." Han Feng was a little happy when he said this, and he was really impressed that Zhang Ji was able to persuade Meng Da to spend a large sum of money to build water conservancy projects: "Mr. Zhang said Now, the tributaries of the Wei River have plenty of water, and there are floods in the rainy season, so it is better to build a river, which can not only avoid floods, but also benefit Fufeng."

While chatting, Ma Chao had already entered Fufeng City unknowingly.At this time, Fufeng City was still bustling and lively.This time, Ma Chao did not mobilize the crowd to organize any return ceremony. According to him: the previous time, it was for Han Sui and Zhang Lu to watch.
But even so, the people of Fufeng organized a welcoming team spontaneously, and those girls who were pregnant with spring were very fierce and turned into female men. Not only did they not shy away from sending flowers in their hands to the soldiers of the Ma family army, some even offered hot kisses directly; As for those passionate youths who wanted to join the army, all of them followed the march of Ma Jiajun with envious and jealous eyes; The melons, fruits and vegetables that came out of their stalls were eager to stuff them into the hands of Ma Jiajun.

Along the way, such situations emerged endlessly, and Zhang Ji had to dispatch the county soldiers to maintain law and order, so that the Ma family army did not die on the battlefield, but was almost killed by the enthusiastic people...

At this time, Zhang Ji also had to give up the affairs in hand and walk with Ma Chao.By the way, he introduced to Ma Chao the changes in Fufeng in the past three months.

"Building water conservancy and diverting water into Fufeng is indeed a good thing that will benefit the people for generations to come. However, before I left, it seemed that the surplus in Fufeng was not enough to build such a large project, right?" Ma Chao looked at the people by the river. Willow, temporarily freed from the grief of Yun'er's death, asked.

"Indeed," Zhang Ji nodded, looking at his expression, it seemed that he had no idea about the construction of such a large project in the first place.However, he smiled instead: "Actually, all of this is due to the master's thoughts."

"Me?" Ma Chao pointed to himself and asked: He did think about building water conservancy projects, but that move was money.And his chief financial officer, Meng Da, now has a paranoid desire to control money, trying to save some money for Fufeng.Even Ma Chao is sometimes afraid of Meng Da who has a dark face all day...

"Yes, when the lord repaired the city wall of Fufeng, he used the method of paying for work. From this, the subordinate thought, since Fufeng County can't afford so much money for the time being, why don't the people of Fufeng take the initiative to pay? "When Zhang said this, he couldn't help smiling, as if he was very proud of his original strokes.

However, Ma Chao was a little confused because he didn't understand what Zhang Ji meant: Has this guy already reached the forefront of the ancient economy?Why can't even a top student who has received formal university economics education not understand?
"Oh...that's it, my lord." Seeing Ma Chao's doubts, Zhang couldn't help but feel a little rude, and after bowing his hands and apologizing, he explained: "When I was planning, I found that relying on Fufeng's financial resources alone was not enough. The project was completed. However, the subordinates felt that if the project was built ahead of schedule, it would be beneficial to all the people in Fufeng. So, referring to the way the lord used to pay by work, he used the propaganda team under Fazhu Bo to build the project in Fufeng. Publicize the benefits of building water conservancy."

"Huh? Then the people of Fufeng came to dig ditches on their own initiative?" Ma Chao couldn't believe it: Even though the people in ancient times were easy to fool, who would dig ditches in a hurry to draw big cakes on the white ground?
"Of course not. The subordinates first mobilized the relatives of the Ma family army to take the lead, and promised that those who made contributions would have the priority right to build a small table for laundry, rice washing, and vegetable washing. The specifications were naturally determined by the scribes of Fufeng. The four-foot-square stone platform is also engraved with patterns. I'm afraid it will be too slippery and hurt people. The stone materials will be sent to those who contribute for free, and I will find someone to install it. No matter how you use the water platform in Fufeng County..."

"Oh?" Ma Chao gradually became interested, this move was really powerful.It is beneficial to both the county and the people. If it can be popularized and tried, then the "Ministry of Industry" among the six departments in my heart may be established in advance.

"At first, the county people called their friends to clean up the front of their houses, and then began to dig channels. However, the depth is quite uneven. Your house digs three feet, mine digs four feet, and there are a few two Pole is an idiot, and he dug six feet straight away, almost digging out the spring water. In the end, his subordinates set the standard, which was only four feet. Therefore, the ditches in Fufeng County were dug without any cost. .”

"De Rong is a great talent!" After listening to Zhang Ji's explanation, Ma Chao couldn't help but patted Zhang Ji's thigh, full of praise for Zhang Ji's capable minister.

But Zhang Ji didn't show much arrogance, but said more happily: "I don't know, my lord. After my subordinates dug through the Weihe River, the clear water flowed through the ditches. After being washed by running water overnight, at dawn, the clear and bright river water flowed from the river." The fish in the water flowed by in front of the door, and the old man squatted on the stone platform and took a sip of the clear water, shouting that it was delicious. Seeing the happy smiles of the people, the subordinates really realized the meaning of serving as an official .”

"Very kind!" Ma Chao was even more delighted, and he cupped his hands and said to Zhang Ji, "De Rong has a heart for the common people and is accommodating in his affairs. He is indeed a capable minister of the Ma family! Therefore, please accept Chao's gift..."

"My lord, absolutely not, it's too embarrassing to my subordinates. It's just that this time I heard that my lord has brought back a lot of property from Chang'an... The water conservancy of the three counties of Beidi, Xinping, and Longxi can also be put on the agenda as soon as possible." When he said this, Zhang Ji looked calm, as if it was only natural to ask Ma Chao for money to do something.

And Ma Chao felt a little bit bitter: Since he had just arrived in Fufeng, Zhang had already made up his mind about the money, so it seems that other counties will never be left behind...

To be honest, this time, Ma Chao can be said to have packed back Chang'an's decades of wealth.However, after being reminded by Zhang Jiyi at this time, Ma Chao suddenly discovered that he would have a lot of money to spend in the future: it will take money to build water conservancy projects and benefit the people, right?The scientific and technological innovations of Ma's farm and arsenal also cost money, right?For the further development and growth of ranches and shops, money makes money, so invest first, right?I also want to take an imperial examination to obtain talents, build schools and medicine halls, and improve the health and quality of the whole people on a large scale. Is it necessary to spend money?More importantly, the growth and development of the Ma family army seems to be inseparable from money, right?

Raising his head suddenly, Ma Chao looked at the shimmering river again, and suddenly felt that it was not so beautiful: this money is a bastard, and you can still earn it if you use it.But the problem is, everyone loves this bastard, and no one can bear it...
