Chapter 757 Li Zihao's Incitement
During this period of time, Ma Chao was busy with the deployment of officials in Liangzhou, the promotion of the New Deal, the integration of Qiang and Han, the re-opening of trade routes, and other issues, striving to integrate Liangzhou into the Ma family as soon as possible...

As for Sili, Ma Chao was busy summoning local officials, surveying people's sentiments, and calling on Sili people to participate in the post-disaster reconstruction work in Chang'an. Promote the promotion of agricultural tools, increase the number of bobbin carts and overturned carts, design and develop water conservancy facilities for the river flowing through Sili...

In terms of diplomacy, Ma Chao is also busy reading battle reports from the front, studying the movements of the princes, mediating disputes under local rule, suppressing hidden riots, arranging personnel, and implementing logistics, etc., especially Zhanglu in Hanzhong and Huns in Bingzhou who are most concerned at present , Yanzhou and Cao Cao, although these three were all entangled by Ma Chao with means, Ma Chao did not dare to relax at all.

Who knows when these three will pull out and slap Ma's backhand?Or, just before dying, what should I do if I have to work hard with the Ma family?

Therefore, from time to time, Ma Chaoshi continued to make trouble for these three families and make some small harassment rumors, but also paid attention to the recruitment of soldiers, training and reorganization, and equipment building of the Ma family.Just in case the enemy comes, the Ma family's fists can ruthlessly respond to their blow...

Therefore, this period of time was extremely hectic and exhausting for Ma Chao. If he didn't consolidate and digest the territory he had gained in advance, he would lose it after he got it.Even if they managed to hold on, it would make the Ma family constrained everywhere, just like when they sent troops to Jingzhou and Liangzhou, there were few soldiers and food shortages, and the whole process of conquest was like an old bachelor worrying about whether he could do it or not , there is no pleasure to enjoy at all...

What is the most important thing in the world?It's people, it's people, it's people!
With people, you can produce food, forge good weapons, save enough money, and fight for your life.In this way, only those who win the hearts of the people win the world.

Although Ma Chao's understanding is so vulgar, but such a simple and practical person and heart are relied on to wipe out the universe and level the Kyushu! !

In the second half of the first year of Xingping, the Ma family seemed to be enjoying a happy life.But in fact, the Ma family is already at the end of a crossbow.In the turbulent fourteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, under the eyes of the princes from all over the world, the Ma family has been wandering in the cracks of the war.If Ma Chao doesn't seize this rare period of peace and recuperate, then the Ma family will still slowly die in the flames of war like a chronic disease.

Flourishness lies in the roots. Similarly, only by smoothing out the pain of "too big strides" in the early stage can the Ma family bloom with a new and powerful attitude.But at the same time, because of too many steps in the early stage, many remaining hidden dangers need to be adjusted and resolved as soon as possible.In Ma Chao's view, although the Ma family has put all their efforts into handling internal affairs, the Ma family now occupies too many counties and counties, and it is hard to tell what needs to be done.

"Zihao, are you sure the Ma family can eat the Xiongnu's 100 million catties of wool this time?" Ma Chao pinched his swollen temple, frowned at Li Zihao's proposal, and asked.

Different from other vassals, Ma Chao invited merchants, civil servants and military generals to discuss matters at Shangshutai.Regarding this point, although some civil servants who stick to the ancient system are not fair, but under the proof of Meng Da's thick commercial tax revenue account, they all have difficulty speaking.

At this time, what Ma Chao was discussing was the wool trade between the Ma family and the Huns.At present, the Ma family's business model has basically been finalized: Li Zihao is in charge of the actual trade of the Ma family's states and counties; Guan Shanxue is in charge of the re-opening of the commercial routes in the Western Regions; Yu Pan is in charge of the Ma family's production and supply as well as regular auctions.And above the three are Fushou who controls the entire Ma family's business, and Liu Yue who is in charge of timely adjustment of the business plan with the Ma family's development plan.

By this time, it was the third time that the Huns had traded wool with the Ma family.For the first time, the old king of the Xiongnu just had the mentality of establishing diplomatic relations with the Ma family, and shipped tens of thousands of catties of wool for free.But when the first batch of sweaters from the Ma family were sent to the Xiongnu as a gift in return, Wang Huayu seemed to see Ma Chao's intentions, and took the lead in wearing the Ma family's sweaters.

In that place where the winter was bitterly cold and desolate, the advent of the Majia sweater immediately relieved the situation of the Xiongnu tribe who were covered like a bear in winter but were still shivering from the cold.Moreover, the first batch of sweaters sent by the Ma family were carefully designed by the Ma family's senior tailors and made with reference to the traditional draping of the Huns.

Wang Huayu wore a sweater to a banquet for the first time, and almost caused a commotion at that banquet.While cursing Wang Huayu, that vixen, the noble ladies of the Xiongnu also put on sweaters one after another.Almost overnight afterwards, the sweater became a unique symbol of the Xiongnu nobles, and some small tribal leaders didn't have the face to come out of their tents to meet people because they didn't have Ma's sweaters.

With Wang Huayu's help, the Huns no longer provided free wool for the second time. Instead, he followed Wang Huayu's advice, raised the price of wool, and traded with the Ma family.This is because Lao Wang thinks that what Wang Huayu said to exchange wool for coal, refined salt, tea and other necessities of the Ma family is really wise!

It's just that the Xiongnu king didn't expect that the second Ma family sold back the sweater, and also secretly raised the price, making a lot of money.Of course, this does not include the wealth that Ma used to plunder from the Xiongnu economy with coal, refined salt, tea and other necessities.

But this time, what Ma Chao asked was the third wool trade: Although the Ma family had initially opened up the Xiongnu market, the fact that money begets money is because money is always alive.But this time the Xiongnu Laowang shipped 100 million catties of wool at a time, and at the same time doubled the original price...... Ma Chao was worried whether the Ma family would be able to afford it this time.

"My lord, I don't know much about this. After all, I'm just a passing god of wealth, and I don't care about money." Seeing Ma Chao's worry, Li Zihao's tone was a little hesitant. When wool was traded, weaving technology had already been improved. The promotion of the hand spinning wheel has increased the speed of weft winding and doubling, and the spinning efficiency has been increased several times. Many women in Sili have already started to profit from it. .”

Having said this, Li Zihao's eyes began to shine with the light of money, and after swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he continued: "After the improvement and innovation of the pedal loom, the arsenal has successively produced single-screw single-shed oblique looms, double-screw looms, etc. Advanced textile machines such as single-shed diagonal looms and multi-shed multi-shed jacquard machines. Especially the use of shuttles (i.e. 杼) greatly speeds up the weaving speed and improves the weaving efficiency, and the jacquard machine can weave a variety of exquisite patterns The product…………"

Speaking of this, Li Zihao's natural business talent has made him unable to stop, and continued: "Sweaters have just opened the Huns market at this time, and now that winter is coming, sweaters are of great importance to the northern borders of the Han Dynasty and the despicable places in the Western Regions. But it is a valuable thing. There are infinite and vast business opportunities beckoning to the Ma family!"

At this time, Li Zihao could no longer restrain the excitement in his heart, and his face was flushed and he remonstrated excitedly: "My lord! The business of sweaters must not stop because of a shortage of funds!"

After Ma Chao listened silently, he couldn't help admiring Li Zihao's business vision: Back in the Han Dynasty, relying on the mulberry, hemp and silk industry, there were many workshops in Chang'an and Luoyang, with thousands of workers each, and tens of thousands of dollars per year.A family gathers or reaches more than a thousand people, and every family is richer than a public official.But now, according to what Li Zihao said, the Ma family used the wool for profit, and they vaguely opened up the germination of the prosperity of the year.Even, it is very likely to surpass the year...

"Okay!" Ma Chao clenched his fists, turned to Fushou and said, "Shou'er, this time I'm going to sell the iron, and I have to eat this batch of wool. Remember, this is not just wool, but the Ma family's treatment of the Xiongnu and the entire textile industry. A war waged by the industry!"

Then, after Ma Chao saw that Fu Shou nodded affirmatively, he turned to Guan Shanxue's proposal, and his brows that had just been stretched were deeply frowned again: "I thought that Li Zihao's proposal request was enough to make things difficult for the Ma family. I didn't expect you, Guan Shanxue, to be more imaginative..."
