Chapter 603 Yuvro's Gift
"What kind of structure is a wooden cow and horse?" Ma Chao scratched his ears and cheeks around a pile of wood, and muttered to himself: "Zhuge Liang really created an artifact that violated the law of energy conservation? ?”

The unlucky food in Yongzhou will be shipped in these two days.The means of transportation has now become a major problem for Ma Chao.No way, Ma Chao had to find Zheng Hun to discuss improving the unicycle that was only available in rural areas in his previous life.

During the Three Kingdoms period, human-powered walking vehicles existed, but they were all two-wheeled vehicles.It is bound to be exhausting during transportation on stressful and rugged roads.In view of this situation, Ma Chao developed and produced a large number of wheelbarrows that can be operated by one person in order to solve the difficulty of transportation for those recruited laborers.

The unicycle can walk on the road that people can walk on.And each wheelbarrow can be loaded with at least [-] catties of grain, which is almost the same as Zhuge Liang's wooden ox horse can load "one-year-old grain" ([-] catties) in history.What's even more gratifying is that Zheng Hun also hung a sail on the wheelbarrow, and with the help of the wind, it made it easier to push it.In order to be durable, Ma Chao also added iron axles, and made the wheels sawn from logs into lightweight wheels with spokes.As a result, the entire transportation brigade has become a scene of "cars rattling, horses screaming, and the grain transportation team all carrying knives".

For this transportation, Ma Chao planned to transport enough food relief for millions of people for a month from the border of Yongzhou.These include high-yielding and prolific crops such as potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes that Yongzhou has hoarded for a long time, but more are miscellaneous grains such as wheat, beans, millet, and grains.And this amount is also the maximum amount that Yongzhou can cultivate smoothly next year.

And the next thing to be transported is probably weeds, straw, horse feed and other things to satisfy the hunger.Presumably, if we deal with it, millions of disaster victims can be fooled for another month.

And when all the preparations were in full swing, the last winter of the third year of Chuping passed, and the first spring of the first year of Xingping ushered in.

This Spring Festival, the whole Chang'an is filled with a strange atmosphere of love.Some people don't care about the Ma family's entry into Chang'an, and celebrate the New Year with peace of mind; some people secretly slander the Ma family for stealing treasures, but they dare not speak out, they just arrange the New Year's affairs indifferently; and more, it is countless poverty The common people, after learning about the New Deal regulations described by the Ma family propaganda team years ago, were grateful to the Ma family. Regardless of the cold winter, they sang and danced outside the palace, hoping that the Ma family could truly bring them a peaceful and stable tomorrow.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Ma Chao also formally paid New Year's greetings to his staff and staff, and distributed end-of-year pensions to buy people's hearts.However, when all the soldiers of the Ma family were weeping with gratitude, Qin Yu from the Ministry of Rites found Ma Chao and said, "My lord, Yu Fuluo, the Hun, sent his son to visit my lord and welcome the New Year..."

"Is Liu Bao here?" Ma Chao frowned, for he had always been wary and worried about Yu Fuluo.If there is no catastrophe this year, according to Ma Chao's temperament, he will definitely give Yu Fuluo a shocking warning.Therefore, when he heard Liu Bao coming, Ma Chao didn't look any good. Facing thousands of generals, Ma Chao could only ask in a low voice, "What is he doing here?"

"It seems that it's just a congratulations and tribute..." Since Qin Yu joined the Ma family, he realized how comfortable it is to be an official in the Ma family, and he can also get unexpected benefits and respect from the world.From this, he began to care about his official position like a mortal.After seeing Ma Chao's unwavering expression, he added, "Liu Bao brought a lot of cattle and sheep, presumably as a gift. Perhaps, they may have known about the fact that the Ma family bought a large amount of cattle and sheep on credit from the Qiang people..."

"Oh?" Ma Chao nodded lightly, but his brows frowned even tighter, and he said, "This Yu Fuluo is really well-informed. Anyway, he will meet his son for a while, anyway, he can bear it so much. Tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, not for nothing..."

In the Deyang Palace, Liu Bao looked at the empty and desolate things outside, and couldn't help feeling a kind of irony in his heart: even when Chang'an fell under the iron hooves of his own Huns, it was not so dilapidated.This Ma Chao, I really don't know if he is a Han or a Hun...

However, soon after, Liu Bao's face gradually darkened.Because he saw that the majestic figure in brocade clothes had already walked towards him, and he had to pretend to be sincere and fearful.

Liu Bao agrees with his father's forbearance strategy.And he also knows that with the current power of the Ma family, they can't do anything about it at all... But knowing in his heart is one thing, but whether they can accept it and whether they can perform well is another matter for Liu Bao It's the same thing.

"General Hussars! My nephew was ordered by my father to send me [-] stones of military rations and [-] head of cattle and sheep for the army." Liu Bao knelt down and said when he saw Ma Chao approaching him before he could take his seat.

Ma Chao laughed loudly, hurriedly supported Liu Bao, and said cordially, "Oh, what are you talking about, you and I are about the same age, so those names of uncle and nephew can be dispensed with..."

Over the years, the more things Ma Chao has experienced, the more people he has to deal with.After a long time, he has become thick-faced and dark-hearted. Even though Liu Bao's eyes can be seen at a glance at this moment, he can still smile as warmly as the sunshine in spring.

Smiling is really the best way to ease the relationship between people. Seeing Ma Chao smiling so kindly, Liu Bao's expression became more natural.Especially when Ma Chao was in the right position, and then he was given a seat.

"Nephew, there are no outsiders here. The Ma family owed a lot to Luan Ti Shanyu for the capture of Chang'an, and Chao feels really sorry for making Shanyu work like this..." Although he said before that the title of uncle and nephew would be removed, but this time , Ma Chao seemed to call out the title of "Nephew" at will. It can be seen that Ma Chao has already become a duplicity political master at this moment.

"General Hussars is overthinking." Liu Bao got up and cupped his fists, imitating the tone of the Han people and said, "We, Luan Ti, have already declared that we have surrendered to the Ma family, so naturally we have to pay tribute for the title of minister. With the help of the Ma family, Luan It is only today's scale to mention one, and some property, and I hope the general will not be offended..."

"It's not strange, it's not strange." He said so, but Ma Chao frowned slightly. He wanted to ask Yu Fuluo why he knew about his lack of food, but he saw Liu Bao's face. With a vigilant look, he gave up that plan.Then he opened his mouth and said: "Since this is the case, the Ma family can't let the little general go for nothing, come here!"

Duanmu Ruoyu came in response, holding a tray that had already been prepared in his hand, covered tightly with red silk cloth, so that Liu Bao could not see through the slightest thing inside: "Nephew, how about this thing?!"

After Liu Bao heard the words, he lifted your red silk cloth, and when he saw the glass sculpture of Howling Moon Wolf on the tray, he exclaimed: "Great God of Kunlun! Are you going to put such a holy thing on the earth?" Shall we Luan mention one?!"

"It's not the blessing of Kunlun God, but the gift of my Ma family!!" Ma Chao suddenly said coldly, and suddenly said grimly.And when Liu Bao saw Ma Chao's serious and arrogant expression, he immediately understood Ma Chao's meaning, and bowed down, not daring to have the slightest doubt...

"Go down, go back and give it to your father, he is such a smart person, he knows when this thing should be revealed to the Huns..." After seeing Liu Bao's dissatisfied expression, Ma Chao secretly smiled, Said with a wave.

But Liu Bao knelt on the ground, unable to get up for a long time, as if he still had something to say...
