Chapter 756

In addition to those good counselors and brave generals, Ma Chao also specifically pointed out that the scope of the imperial examination will be expanded this year, and special subjects for good work will be set up. Anyone with skillful workmanship and ingenuity among the people will be expropriated by the Ma family at a high price.Others, such as those who are proficient in business and financial management or extravagant skills, can be reported to the Ma family. After being selected by the Ministry of Rites and the Ma's Arsenal, they will be included in the Ma family.

In addition, Ma Chao also has great ideas. Anyone who can propose good strategies for governing the country, enriching the people, managing money, controlling water, and strengthening the army based on the framework of the outline, whether it is the Ma family's serving civil and military personnel, or ordinary people, or even enemy chieftains, all have good ideas. Big reward...

After the three-day meeting was over, the Ma family, regardless of civil or military, male or female, let alone high or low positions, entered into a state of busyness.

The first thing Ma Chao did was to take the map of Dayu Dingding that had been drawn by the shadows over the years, and marked all the information that could be grasped under the Ma family's rule.Its level of detail can be called the most in this era.

On that map, there are not only mountains and rivers, geography, soldiers and horses stationed, officials' placement, customs and folk customs, but more importantly, where are the good copper and iron, where are the good fields and pastures, where are the well salt, and where are the well fires The coals are all marked one by one.

After viewing the map, which is enough to cover a room, Ma Chao sighed for the first time that he had already achieved such an achievement.Standing in Guanzhong, the land of Longxing, which is the capital of the emperor, he saw that this place had iron, salt, coal, and even resources that he could not imagine.

For example, Ma Chao never imagined that the Ma family could not only turn barren land into fertile land through the effects of building dams and overturning bobbin carts, but also artificially transform huge pits beside rivers into fish ponds for fish farming.It was at this time that Ma Chao learned that Duke Huan of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period became dominant because of the profit from fish and salt, and the story that Wu Wang Liu Bi of the Han Dynasty rebelled against the profit of the fish, salt and copper mountain.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, new breakthroughs were made in fish farming and fishing technology, and artificial breeding technology also made great progress. There was a saying that fish farming was "thousand stones", and its economic income was "and thousands of households, etc.". It is recorded in "Xijing Miscellaneous Notes": Han Wu built Kunming Pond and raised fish in the pool, with a distance of [-] miles.In addition to offering sacrifices, the remaining fish were sent to the Chang'an market for sale, and the price of fish fell for this reason.

With the encouragement of the Ma family's new policy, the benefits of fish farming in Guanzhong are even stronger than that of grain farming, and one pond in Kunming can support ten thousand people.In particular, Ma Chao's Kunming bathhouse, which Ma Chao didn't even know about, had a year's income that could be used by tens of thousands of people!
No wonder since ancient times, the emperors have foolishly believed that Guanzhong is the land of dragon veins, and they can rule the world if they stay here.It wasn't too long for the Ma family to obtain Sili, but under the governance of the Ma family's New Deal, the huge energy of Longxing in Guanzhong had already been discovered.

During Dong Zhuo's reign, the Sili area suffered a lot.Especially in terms of food, fodder and money, it caused immeasurable disasters to the Sili area.Not to mention Dong Zhuo's brutality, raiding and killing people, but Dong Zhuo's plan to turn Chang'an's bronze figures into penny coins to plunder wealth from the people.

Since the Ma family took charge of Guanzhong, Ma Chao's first order was to discard Dong Zhuo's unwritten petty money and restore the credit purchase of five baht coins.For this alone, the people in Guanzhong are grateful to the Ma family: money is valuable in their hands, and that is a guarantee of survival!

At the same time, the Ma family resolutely cracked down on the scum who oppressed the good and the good among the wealthy and wealthy families in the Sili area that had been entrenched for hundreds of years.Especially during the period of relocation of the victims, the Ma family wiped out nearly a thousand wealthy families in Sili overnight, and many of them were powerful families like the Wang family.Hubu Mengda was amazed at the fertile land that was owned by the Ma family: "Such scum actually account for almost half of the land in Guanzhong!!"

Afterwards, the household department of the Ma family, in accordance with the New Deal regulations, transferred the good land, beautiful houses and mulberry orchards under the name of the big family to the local people in the farming department.All of a sudden, the people in Guanzhong who were struggling on the death line turned into "upstarts" with tens of acres of fertile land and one or two mansions that they didn't even dare to think about.In the entire Guanzhong area, people burned incense and prayed for the horse furniture, and tears filled their eyes.

As for other big and good families who kept their own law and order and even helped the victims, the Ma family hardly attacked them too much.In addition, Liu Yue and Fushou's reputation was used to gather these big households to engage in commercial agriculture encouraged by the Ma family, and to tie their interests closely with the Ma family, forming a "Ma family is good, you are also good" 'The benign development model.

By this time, the Ma family had made it clear that all the profitable and military-related industries, such as purified salt, forging iron, and coal, were under government regulations, and formulated various comprehensive laws to strengthen the management of the Ma family. .What's more, the Ma family's laws are formulated according to the time and place, meticulous and cautious, and everything is included, providing those law enforcement agencies with powerful and comprehensive law enforcement provisions.

Moreover, in the laws of Ma's family, the principle of "be lenient if you should be lenient, and strict if you should be strict" has also been followed.Previously, the laws of the Han Dynasty were loose and disorderly, but under the rule of Dong Zhuo, the laws and regulations were almost a dead letter, and the local forces were arbitrary, resulting in chaos.The laws of the Ke Ma family, after a year of hard work by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, have become an incomparable code of law in this era.

Since ancient times, every monarch has thought that tolerance is the way to win the hearts of the people, but Ma Chao has managed and ruled according to the law, education and reform for minor crimes, and severe punishment for serious crimes.As a result, under the rule of the Ma family, the law was used in the world, and the punishment was imposed on the crime of self-commitment.Honor it instead of selfishness, punish it without complaining, and there is no one who is dissatisfied in the world'.

Of course, the fact that the Ma family can achieve such success is naturally due to the effectiveness of the early implementation of the New Deal.The people have land property in their hands, and they naturally look forward to a bright and prosperous world with clear political law.And the passage of the laws of the Ma family came out on this basis.Naturally, it was supported and affirmed by the people under its rule. Under such an orderly implementation, the Ma family achieved the effects of other Chinese dynasties before and after the Han Dynasty.

However, in any case, the Ma family has tried their best to change the poverty and ignorance in the vast land of this era.However, the natural disaster that lasted for half a year came, and all the efforts of the Ma family turned into starting from scratch.

Fortunately, with these foreshadowings and foundations, the Ma family can walk more steadily and smoothly.And Ma Chao, who put all his energy on the Ma Family Outline, experienced an unprecedented amount of hard work.

In the last few months of the first year of Xingping, Ma Chao began to review the provincial memorials at dawn, and then he was promoted to the palace to open the government to handle government affairs. After lunch, he would call the relevant department officials to discuss matters at the Shangshutai.Sometimes I can't close my eyes until the watch is set.

No one knows why Ma Chao, the god of killing, is so obsessed with government affairs after his sudden transformation.Only when Diao Chan saw Ma Chao's bloodshot eyes and protruding cheekbones later in his heart, did he mumble to himself: "You are so tired just because of the little bow and snake shadow that Brother Chou and Gan Ning mentioned?  … ... Chaoer, is it worth doing this?"

"It's worth it, not because of the fluke that I'm trapped in, but because of the safety and security of the Ma family and the people under the Ma family..." Before closing his eyes, Ma Chao murmured, "Maybe, when I really feel that I don't have to When I am busy, I will go to find out in person. But don’t worry, Chan’er, I know where my heart is sticking to... Go to sleep early, and tomorrow I will discuss the reform of the Ma family’s business..."
