Chapter 439 Hua Xin Recommends Someone
"Have you ever calculated the consumption of these few days?"

After resting overnight in Qinguan, Ma Chao knew that he could return to Fufeng tomorrow.Walking on the familiar but unfamiliar avenue at this time, he asked the guards beside him.

"My lord, the statistics haven't been calculated yet. Neither Meng Zong nor Supervisor Han have ever been here, so..." Pound clasped his fists and replied, a trace of shame flashed across his resolute face: Pound has been attending the Ma's military training center all the time. Yes, and in the military training hall, the course of counting grain, grass and supplies is naturally taught.

However, although no one was injured in this troop dispatch, Pound, as the second person in this army, was responsible for such affairs as marching, garrisoning, and outposting, which were extremely trivial.Therefore, Pound did not report the exact number before arriving in Fufeng without a special person to collect it.

"Well... Zidu now needs to integrate the household department, and Han Feng has asked him to take care of all the properties of the Ma family. And the rest of the people also hold two or more positions." Ma Chao sighed softly, and couldn't help but let out a sigh: "There are still too few talents in the Ma family..."

"My lord, this..."

Just when Ma Chao was feeling emotional, he suddenly heard someone calling him.Looking back, it turned out that Hua Xin was holding an account book and was about to hand it to him.And Ma Chao took a look at Hua Xin, and found that he had changed a lot in the past year.Of course, it doesn't mean that Hua Xin's appearance has changed a lot.It's just that he feels differently to Ma Chao.

In the past, Hua Xin was pure and virtuous, strict with self-discipline, and had the style of Taoism.And behind this strict requirement on himself, he still has choices and pride for others.Just like all scholars, he has such a virtue of being proud of his talents.But now, from Hua Xin's eyes and expression, Ma Chao saw that Hua Xin was a little more lonely and humble, and even a little bit of fear?
"Well, the six arts of a gentleman, ritual, music, archery, imperialism, calligraphy, and counting." Ma Chao carefully looked at the numbers on the account book, which was similar to his estimate, and couldn't help but admire: "Ziyu is also a leader in the six arts of enlightenment." the one."

Ma Chao is not talking nonsense.Although the Han Dynasty paid great attention to the six arts of a gentleman, the scholars attached great importance to the first five arts. However, the "number" of the sixth art has not been revealed except for practical use.Therefore, many people are very high in the three arts of 'ritual', 'music' and 'book', but they are not so good in 'shooting' and 'imperial'.

Only in "numbers" - "numbers" in ancient times did not simply refer to arithmetic, but esoteric knowledge including nine numbers, yin and yang feng shui, celestial bodies, calendars, etc. Outside of research, arithmetic is very contemptuous.After all, the eloquent style of study prevented those scholars from talking about vulgar topics such as arithmetic and tax collection at banquets.

"My lord, I am very impressed. When I was in Fufeng, I carefully studied the book "Mathematics" compiled by the lord, and benefited a lot from it. This time, I was able to calculate the consumption of these days, and I also used the method of the lord's instructions. "Hua Xin saluted, and replied with lowered eyebrows.

This move aroused Ma Chao's interest.After handing over the account book to Pang De, he said to Hua Xin, "Ziyu, I don't care what you've been through for such a long time. I won't care about my father anymore. I just want to tell you that now Ma The family is in desperate need of talent.”

Although he said so, Ma Chao also knew that during these times, Hua Xin fled to Chang'an like a mouse crossing the street, hid in Tibet under shameless circumstances, and finally hid in Nanyuan where the royal family lived. It should be very sad. A sad time.What's more, at that time, all his family members were still in Fufeng, and there was no news from him, so how could he not miss it?
A moment of loyalty and passion can indeed inspire a person with supreme courage to do something that he thinks is extremely correct.But time is a real killing knife. After it wears out your courage, you begin to doubt whether what you did at the beginning was correct.

Now it seems that Hua Xin has indeed thought about it.Therefore, he said in a eager tone: "My lord, I have returned to the Ma family now, and I should serve for the Ma family. Although I don't have a lot of friends, I have a few good friends. I don't know. ..."

"Who?" Ma Chao today is different from before.He will not just kidnap a few famous people here, it doesn't matter whether they are helping or helping, as long as they don't help like Cai Yong, he can accept it.

Today, what he needs is a master of the world like Jia Xu and Xun You, or a man of action like Yang Fu, Zhang Ji, Meng Da, You Chu, and Su Ze, or even Fu Xun, Fu Gan, Yin Feng, A county talent like Zhao Ang is fine.But he really looked down on those so-called well-behaved celebrities.

"When Xin was studying abroad, he had good friends with Guan Ning and Bing Yuan. These two people are noble and peaceful, imitating the way forward, with outstanding virtues, and no one in the world. Although they took refuge in Liaodong, they still longed for their return. If my lord is willing, One of my subordinates wrote a letter stating that Fufeng's Taoyuan is the most prosperous place, and these two people will definitely come to seek refuge."

"Guan Ning? Bing Yuan?" After hearing Hua Xin's words, Ma Chao couldn't help showing a look of disappointment on his face.Because of these two people, he knew.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, there was a dragon: Hua Xin was the head of the dragon, Bing was the belly of the dragon, and Guan Ning was the tail of the dragon. This was the evaluation of these three people at that time.But Ma Chao is a bit disapproving of this kind of person with a false name, especially the fact that Guan Ning and Hua Xin broke up, which makes Ma Chao less interested in Guan Ning.

Back then, when Hua Xin was studying, he traveled thousands of miles to visit Guan Ning. The two hit it off and became friends.Once, the two "hoeed the garden to get gold" together, Guan Ning regarded it as rubble and abandoned it aside.Another time, when the two were studying at the same table, a high-ranking official passed by in a luxurious sedan chair. Guan Ning ignored it and continued to concentrate on his study, while Hua Xin showed admiration and ran out to read.After Hua Xin came back, Guan Ning cut the mat and sat separately from Hua Xin, saying, "My son is not my friend." '

This is the "cutting the mat and cutting off the relationship" and "hoeing the garden to get gold" which were later passed down as good stories.But Ma Chao has different views on these two matters: First, regarding the matter of getting gold by hoeing the garden, in Ma Chao's view, Guan Ning is a real fool.Because he didn't realize the importance of money, he was simply the kind of idiot who studied by rote.

His behavior was indeed highly respected by the world at the end of the Han Dynasty, but in the Ma family, a group that paid more attention to practical work and performance, his choice of value conflicted with the values ​​of the entire group.Ma Chao would not bother to mediate the resulting conflict.Because, he can't mediate.

There was also the matter of cutting off seats and breaking up friendship, which did not give Ma Chao much favor, but made Ma Chao think that Guan Ning's interpersonal skills were not good enough.Because of his outspokenness, he is easily disliked by others.In other words, if it is more fashionable, Ma Chao thinks that Guan Ning has a high IQ but a low EQ.

For this kind of person, Ma Chao couldn't see his strategy for governing the country, nor heard of his achievements in deploying troops and strategizing. Apart from letting him serve as a clerk in the Ministry of Rites, he had almost no other great use.As for Bing Yuan, there was almost nothing left in the history books, and Ma Chao was even less interested.

Therefore, for the two recommended by Hua Xin, Ma Chao just smiled.He will not use a lot of manpower and material resources to go to Liaodong to bring them back. After all, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Pang Tong, and Xu Shu, whom he asked Shadow to find, have not been found yet, so he has no intention of provoking those famous and tempered people. Big people do.

Of course, for Hua Xin's heart, Ma Chao still had a few words of encouragement.After that, Hua Xin said one thing, which made Ma Chao start to care.
