Chapter 740 Hometown Revisit
After the Battle of Longxi, Ma Chao immediately withdrew his troops and returned to Chang'an.In the four counties of Xiping, Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Xihai, Ma Chao did not enter the army again.

For one thing, Ma Chao knew that with the current financial resources of the Ma family, it could no longer support Ma Chao's large army going deep into the bitter cold land of Liangzhou.Forcing forge ahead, not only can gain the merits of size, but the gain is not worth the loss; secondly, the Ma family's heart attack plan has already been a great success, just wait for time, and the remaining four counties in Liangzhou will naturally surrender to the Ma family.

In this expedition, Ma Chao used a series of [-] troops to occupy the Jincheng and Wuwei counties of Liangzhou and defeated all the more than [-] troops of Han Sui's old troops.The entire force of the civil strife in Liangzhou was wiped out by the Ma family.Even if there is still a small group of bandits making trouble, as long as the prefects of the other four counties are not too incompetent, it is impossible to cause a catastrophe.

As a result, the name of Ma Chao in Yongliang brocade once again resounded throughout the frontier fortress of the Han Dynasty.The people of the two prefectures were all honored by the fact that Ma Chao was born in Yongzhou and raised his prestige in Liangzhou. Countless Yongzhou children also put a white cloth on their backs when they played and frolicked, competing to imitate Ma Chao.

However, the real Jin Machao did not have much joy.On the road for ten consecutive days, Ma Chao hardly said anything.And Ma Chao deprived Fazheng, the Minister of Internal History of Zhongshu Province, because of greed and reckless advancement, and he was even more reticent along the way.When he finally reached Fufeng County, Ma Chao gave the order to go to Fufeng to rest for two days.

Fufeng is the hometown of Ma Chao and Fazheng. Although there is no quarrel between the generals and ministers in their hearts, a two-day rest in their hometown can always calm their minds.After all, the grief of the death of five thousand cavalry cavalry in a foreign land cannot be eliminated by a ten-day journey—although there is a saying in "Sun Bin's Art of War": A child should be loved like a cunning boy, respected like a strict teacher, and used like a mustard .But the five thousand cavalry of the Ma family really did not cherish being destroyed like a soil mustard, which really made Ma Chao and Fazheng hard to let go.

But another more important reason for entering Fufeng is because both the Ma's Arsenal and the Ma's Farm are still in Fufeng.As for the ongoing research at these two places, Ma Chao couldn't help but want to take a look at it: Liu Yue took Ma Chao out of Liu Xie's hidden compartment and took out "Steel and Steel Smelting Encyclopedia", "Handbook of Crops Hybridization" and "Construction Engineering Materials". Manufacturing Technology" three books across time and space.And within three months, Ma Chao tried his best to re-extract the content that could be promoted in this era, and handed it to Han Feng.

After getting these three books, the first thing Han Feng did was to study movable type printing with all his strength according to Ma Chao's instructions, and printed several copies of these three books.After it was listed as the Ma family's top-secret book, the technical backbone of the arsenal and farm was invited to him to study it.

In order to keep it secret, Han Feng also took great pains.According to the research direction of each technical backbone, let them read different content.Even so, the Ma family had to stumble a lot on the road of exploring these new technologies.But Ma Chao feels that these three scientific and technological achievements definitely have the significance of changing this era.

Therefore, although what Han Feng did was a little absurd, it can be forgiven.After all, technology is the primary productive force anyway.

After re-entering Fufeng, Ma Chao suddenly discovered that after three years of management by the Ma family, Fufeng was no longer the desolate and boundless ancient city.On the contrary, amidst the peace and prosperity, there are hints of new socialist towns.

Along the way, Ma Chao naturally experienced the outer city of Longxi.Most of the residences here are disaster victims who moved from Sili.The wealthy Fufeng County has long built wooden houses of a uniform style for them.At this time, the newly planted winter wheat in the field has just sprouted, and it is green from a distance.

The sadness on the faces of the victims gradually receded, and they no longer had the look of distress they had when they migrated. The children ran wildly in the fields like calves in health.Being scolded and driven away by the old man who took care of these winter wheats, the women hid at home and sewed leather robes with stitches. These clothes, as long as they were handed over to the Ma family and marked with a unified logo, they were the casual clothes of the Ma family army. Ask them to buy rice and noodles for five baht.

Naturally, there was a barracks in the outer city for the Ma's army, and Zhang Ji, who knew that Ma Chao would stay in Fufeng for two days, naturally prepared to meet Ma Chao at the barracks early.But Ma Chao saw such a scene in Fufeng today, so he couldn't help but give up the "official reception" prepared by Zhang Ji, and let Pang De lead the troops into the barracks, and then he brought Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Xun You, Fazheng, Guo Jia and others , went straight into Fufeng City.

In the inner city of Fufeng, the avenues are bustling with people, the houses on both sides are connected with roof tiles, people are noisy and dogs are barking everywhere, it is a peaceful scene.It has been a year since Ma Chao left Fufeng, and the prosperity of Fufeng at this time really made him admire.At this time, he was like an ordinary country bumpkin who had just entered Fufeng, suddenly dazzled, and was attracted by this lively scene when he came up.

Since Ma Chao vigorously promoted commerce, the conventional restriction of "opening at noon and closing at sunset" by Dahan has long been broken. In addition to the afternoon market in Fufeng County, there are also night markets and morning markets, which are almost the same as Ma Chao's previous life.With the completion of the new city business district, the area in Fufeng Center has become more prosperous, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as an inch of land and an inch of gold.

Ma Chaoxin entered the market, and saw in the market, wine making, vinegar sauce, honey syrup, grain, cooked food, bamboo and wood, lacquerware, dyes, gold, silver, copper and iron, cattle, horses, pigs and sheep, tendon and horn cinnabar, silk wool fine cloth, Wencai couchcloth , leather medicinal materials, books, calligraphy and paintings... There are everything from all walks of life.

Walking and walking, Ma Chaoyue blended into it, and the more he felt that he had returned to his previous life.Except for those who are dressed in a quaint manner, the enthusiasm of the merchants, the number of shops, and the happiness of the people here are almost the same as those in the previous life.

This is the change brought about by my time travel, Ma Chao said to himself.

A great sense of pride arises spontaneously,

After walking again, Ma Chao and others had already reached the residential area of ​​Fufeng Inner City.Standing at the same place, looking at the households in Fufeng, it was the time when the people of Fufeng were cooking dinner, and the smoke was lingering, and the whole residential area seemed to be shrouded in a mist. The bright blue bricks and green tiles were coated with a layer of almost Flaming light.

"My lord, this is perhaps the most beautiful place in the big man?" After Yang Xiu came from the famous family of the fourth generation and the fourth prince, he had seen Chang'an, which was more splendid than Fufeng.But he has to admit that even Chang'an is not as good as Fufeng, walking for three hours, it is a scene of prosperity and prosperity.

In the past, the prosperity of Chang'an was only in the west city where there were many gentry, but after leaving the west city, it only takes less than two hours' carriage ride to see another world: a miserable, desolate, dirty and messy slum area in the east city. The residents, with their faces, have no other expressions except sorrow and fatigue.

Therefore, everything in Fufeng City is Ma Chao's pride, and he should be proud of it.And at this time, Zhang Ji, who looked like a big man, found Ma Chao pitifully, dismounted and saluted, "My lord, why are you fooling me like this again..."

"De Rong is a great talent of the Ma family, Fufeng has become so prosperous and prosperous under the hands of De Rong, I am overjoyed." Speaking of this, Ma Chao's stomach growled inappropriately, causing everyone to purse their lips and laugh .But Ma Chao continued awkwardly: "Since we have come here, why not let De Rong lead the way, how about we go to the people of Fufeng to ask for a bowl of rice?"

Zhang Ji seems to have great confidence in the safety work under his rule and the living standards of the people. After hearing Ma Chao's suggestion, he smiled: "Since the lord is so leisurely and elegant, then the humble minister should be respectful rather than obedient..."

A group of people, just under the setting sun, calmly walked into this paradise-like place.It seems that the conquests of the past few days are like a dream in Nanke, and it is impossible to tell whether this is a chaotic world or a peaceful and prosperous world.
