"What is the structure of the wooden ox flowing horse?" Ma Chao scratched his ears and cheeks around a pile of wood, and muttered to himself: "Zhuge Liang really created an artifact that violates the law of conservation of energy? Or is it all far-fetched between the descendants and Old Man Luo? ”

The grain that has been shipped in Yongzhou will be shipped in the next two days. And the means of transportation have now become a major problem for Ma Chao. There was no way, Ma Chao had no choice but to find Zheng Hun to discuss improving the kind of unicycle that was only available in the countryside in his previous life.

During the Three Kingdoms period, there were manpower walking transportation equipment, but they were all two-wheeled vehicles. In the transportation force and rough road, it is bound to be laborious. In view of this situation, in order to solve the transportation difficulties of those conscripts, Ma Chao developed and produced a large number of wheelbarrows that can be operated by one person.

The wheelbarrow can walk on the road that a person can walk. Each wheelbarrow can be loaded with at least 400 catties of grain, and there is little difference between the historical record of Zhuge Liang's wooden ox and flowing horse can load 'one-year-old grain' (400 catties). What's even more gratifying is that Zheng Hun also hung a sail on the wheelbarrow, with the help of the wind, so that it can be pushed more labor-saving. In order to be durable, Ma Chao also added iron axles, and made wheels sawn from round logs into lightweight wheels with spokes. As a result, the entire transport brigade has become a scene of 'chariots, horses and horses, and the transport grain team all carry knives'.

In this transportation, Ma Chao plans to transport enough relief grain for one million people to eat for one month from the border of Yongzhou at one time. These include high-yield and high-yield crops such as potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes that Yongzhou has long stockpiled, but more are wheat, beans, millet, millet and other miscellaneous grains. And this amount is also the largest amount that Yongzhou can ensure that it can be cultivated smoothly next year.

And the next thing to be transported is probably weeds, straw, war horse fodder and other things to satisfy hunger. Presumably, dealing with it can also fool millions of victims for another month.

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

This Spring Festival, the whole Chang'an is filled with a strange and fond atmosphere. Some people ignore the Ma family's entry into Chang'an and celebrate the New Year with peace of mind; Some people secretly slander the Ma family's treasures, but they don't dare to speak out, but they don't handle the New Year's affairs lightly; And more than that, it is countless poor people, after learning about the new policies and regulations told by the Ma family propaganda team a year ago, they are grateful to the Ma family, regardless of the cold winter, singing and dancing outside the palace, hoping that the Ma family can really bring them a peaceful and stable tomorrow.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Ma Chao also officially greeted his subordinates and issued a year-end pension to buy people's hearts. It's just that when all the Ma family sergeants were grateful, Qin Yu of the Ministry of Rites found Ma Chao and said: "Lord, the Huns sent the son of Yufu Luo to visit the lord and wait for the good luck of the New Year........"

"Liu Bao is here?" Ma Chaojian frowned, for that Yu Fuluo, he has always been dike and relieved. If it weren't for the catastrophe this year, Yima Chao's temperament would definitely give Yu Fuluo a warning warning. Therefore, hearing Liu Bao coming at this time, Ma Chao didn't have a good face at all, facing thousands of generals, Ma Chao had to ask quietly: "What is he doing here?" ”

"It seems that it's just a tribute........ "Since Qin Yu joined the Ma family, he has only realized how comfortable he is in the Ma family, and he can also get unexpected benefits and the respect of the world. As a result, he also began to care about his official position like a mortal. After seeing Ma Chao's unswerving face, he added: "Liu Bao brought a lot of cattle and sheep, presumably as a gift. Perhaps, they may have known about the Ma family's purchase of a large number of cattle and sheep from the Qiang people on credit........"

"Oh?" Ma Chao nodded slightly, but his brows furrowed even tighter, and he said, "This Yu Fuluo is really well-informed. Maybe it's going to be his son for a while, anyway, he's so enduring, those tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, don't be in vain, don't ......."

In the Deyang Palace, Liu Bao looked at the empty and desolate things outside, and couldn't help but have a ridiculous feeling 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 it's a Han or a Huns........

However, immediately afterward, Liu Bao's face gradually darkened. Because he saw that the heroic figure in a brocade robe had already walked towards him, and he had to pretend to be sincerely afraid.

Liu Bao agrees with his father's forbearance strategy. And he also knew that with the current power of the Ma family, they couldn't do anything at all....... It's one thing to know in your heart, but whether you can accept it and whether you can behave well is another thing for Liu Bao.

"Hussar General! The little nephew was ordered by his father to send 10,000 stone of military food and 30,000 cattle and sheep for the use of the army. Liu Bao saw Ma Chao come forward, and before he could take his seat, he knelt down and said.

Ma Chao laughed, hurriedly helped Liu Bao up, and said kindly: "Oh, what are you talking about, you and I are about the same age, those uncles and nephews are called, so let's get rid of it......."

Over the years, the more things Ma Chao has experienced, the more people he has to deal with. After a long time, he inevitably became thick-faced and black, even though he could see the trace of resentment in Liu Bao's eyes at a glance at this time, he could still smile as kindly as the sunshine in spring.

Smiling is really the best expression to ease the relationship between people, Liu Bao saw Ma Chao smiling so kindly, and the expression on his face became more natural. Especially when Ma Chao was in the right position and then gave him a seat.

"Virtuous nephew, there are no outsiders here. And the capture of Chang'an, the Ma family owes Luan a lot of bills of lading, so it also makes Shan Yu Laojun, Chao really can't help it........, "Although he said that he would remove the title of uncle and nephew, but this opening, Ma Chao seemed to call out the title of 'virtuous nephew' at will, which shows that Ma Chao has already become a duplicitous political master at this moment.

"The hussar general is too careful," Liu Bao got up and hugged his fists, and said in the tone of the Han people: "We Luan Ti, since we have already declared our submission to the Ma family, we naturally want to pay tribute for the minister." With the help of the Ma family, Luan Ti has today's scale and some property, and I hope the general will not be surprised........"

"No strange, no strange." said this, but Ma Chao's brows furrowed slightly, and he wanted to ask Yu Fuluo why he knew about his lack of food and grass, but when he saw Liu Bao's vigilant expression, he gave up that plan. Then he spoke: "In this case, the Ma family can't let the little general run for nothing, come here!" ”

Duanmu Ruoyu came in response, holding a tray that had already been prepared by one party in his hand, which was tightly covered with red silk cloth, so that Liu Bao couldn't see through the slightest trace inside: "Virtuous nephew, look at this thing?!" ”

After Liu Bao heard this, he lifted your red silk cloth, and when he saw the glass sculpture of the Howling Moon Wolf on the tray, he exclaimed: "Great Kunlun God!" Do you want to give us such a holy relic?! ”

"It's not the blessing of the Kunlun God, but the gift of my Ma family!!" Ma Chao suddenly said coldly, and suddenly said gloomily. After Liu Bao saw Ma Chao's serious and arrogant look, he immediately understood what Ma Chao meant, bowed down, and did not dare to question it in the slightest.......

"Go down, go back and hand it over to your father, a smart man like him, he knows when to let this thing be revealed in the ....... of the Huns" After seeing Liu Bao's unconvinced look, Ma Chao smiled secretly in his heart, waved his hand and said.

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