The reality is in front of us, and the urgent shortage of talents in the Xiliang Ma family has made Ma Chao already have a bit of a taste of jumping off the wall in a hurry.

When Pang De, Huang Yuan, Han Feng, and Ma Dai walked to Ma Chao's room, they were told that only the ugly brother Huang Yuan needed to enter. The other three can wait outside the door for a while. The three of them didn't say anything, because they seemed to have known for a long time that Ma Chao wanted the ugly brother to do something unseemly......

When the ugly brother entered, he saw Ma Chao lying on the hospital bed, biting the pen in his mouth, with tears in his eyes, as if he was racking his brains to think about something.

After the salute, I didn't see Ma Chao react, the ugly brother stood aside quietly, and saw that on the desk on Ma Chao's hospital bed, there was a bamboo slip, on which there were a lot of dense and messy things, but they were all like ghost drawings, the ugly brother was literate, but he frowned and looked at it for a long time, and he didn't see what it meant.

"Young master, could it be that you have gone mad?" The ugly brother panicked, the young master was seriously ill and had not recovered, and the lord handed over all the things of the county guard to the young master, and the young master was angry for a while, and his thoughts were confused......

"Ahh There you are? Hearing Brother Ugly speak closely, Ma Chao woke up in shock: "Brother Ugly, how are the things I asked you to do a few days ago?" ”

The ugly brother frowned, he really couldn't figure out what the point of Ma Chao had asked him to do those things before, but he still explained truthfully: "The elite and clever people have been selected, there are about two hundred people; There were many young slaves, about a thousand; The old farmer came out with a lot of ......"

The task that Ma Chao gave to the ugly brother is simply two words: find someone!

First of all, in view of Han Sui's installation of a traitor in Fufeng County, Ma Chao has already felt the importance of intelligence. On this basis, Ma Chao also wants to build a special force at the end of the Han Dynasty. Let the ugly brother Huang Yuan select those who have certain abilities and quick wits from the torture cavalry camp in order to build the team of this special team. As for those young slaves, they are the follow-up talents that Ma Chao prepared for this special team.

Secondly, Ma Chao is the eldest son of the Ma family, and he can't take care of those things that cross crops, so he can't let his son-in-law do it himself, right? You can't do it without experience in agricultural production, right? In the future, if you understand the habits of these crops, you can't do it without promoting and guiding them, right? Therefore, those old farmers, especially tenant farmers or slaves, were the first employees in Ma Chao's 'vegetable garden'.

In the end, those craftsmen, not to mention, were Ma Chao's preparations for the expansion of his 'iron shop'. Compared with agriculture, the status of this manufacturing industry in the late Han Dynasty was still very low. Especially those blacksmiths, bricklayers, and carpenters, which are all crafts that the people taught themselves in addition to farming, and it is naturally good to use them to make money, but it doesn't matter if they can't be used to make money.

Ma Chao doesn't want these manufacturing industries in the late Han Dynasty to stagnate in a stage of slow development, so who didn't say that 'science and technology is the primary productive force', these craftsmen, although they have not yet risen to the level of science and technology, but do not encourage innovation, how to talk about development?

"Well, very well, those two hundred people will immediately be separated from the torture camp and will be directly led by you. Ignore anyone's orders but mine! Ma Chao said this, thought about it and said to the ugly brother: "You know, these people, I plan to let them do something secret, so ......"

"The young master can rest assured, when the selection was made, the details of these people had been investigated. are all orphans and unrelated people, and they are even more grateful to the young master and loyal to them. The ugly brother is really very clever in this regard, and without waiting for Ma Chao to say it clearly, he dispelled Ma Chao's concerns: "There are also those young slaves, except for a few sisters and brothers, brothers and sisters, the others are also orphans, and they have nothing to worry about." ”

"Good." Ma Chao nodded, and continued: "Those old farmers and craftsmen also picked some lonely people to hire them. Well, if it is a slave with a very low status, you can also buy it back with your family and send it to the county guard, and I will be of great use in the future. ”

"Well, this expenditure is received from Han Feng, and it is not paid from the county guard's mansion." After thinking about it for a while, Ma Chao added again.

"No." The ugly brother didn't know what Ma Chao wanted, but he said that he would resolutely complete the task. What Ma Chao likes is the ugly brother: he does things, Ma Chao is at ease......

"Well, I summoned you in today to let your two hundred elite people do something secretly." Ma Chao stretched out his hand and took out the bamboo slips on the desk, and said: "Fa Zheng Fa Xiaozhi, now fifteen years old, Fufeng Yiren, the son of Fa Zhen of the Fufeng Shi clan, Tongshan Military Machine...... No, I mean that he is young and intelligent, and he has few great achievements, but he can be of great use, you send more than 20 people, first to recruit Fa Zhen to Fufeng County, if he doesn't follow, it doesn't matter, but be sure to tie up his sub-Fa Zheng to Fufeng County! ”

When it comes to Liu Bei's first strategist, many people will think that it is Zhuge Liang. In fact, at that time, Zhuge Liang mainly managed internal affairs and raised grain and grass, and it was Fa Zheng who gave advice to Liu Bei by his side, and Liu Bei's credit to him even exceeded Zhuge Liang.

If the normal trajectory of history is followed, then Fa Zheng will move to Yizhou with his father about two years later, in order to avoid the rebellion of Li Dao and Guo Yan. At first, he was depressed under Liu Zhang, and then welcomed Liu Bei into Shu, laying the foundation for Liu Bei's later Dingzhi Three Kingdoms. Later, he advocated the seizure of Hanzhong, and made Liu Bei's foundation reach its peak, such a person, after his death, Zhuge Liang also sighed: "If the law is filial piety, it can control the lord to go east; and when they return to the east, they will not fall into danger. ’

The reason why Ma Chao didn't attack Fa Zheng was because he was very busy, and the other was because Fa Zheng's character was really poor.

There are clouds in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms": Yizheng is the Taishou of Shu County, General Yangwu, the outer commander of Dugi, and the inner mastermind. The virtue of a meal, the resentment of the eyes, all retaliate, and kill and injure several people without permission.

This record shows that Fazheng has some desire for power, and the use of power is also at will. However, at this time, Ma Chao calmed down and thought about it, the virtue of a meal must be repaid, and the grievances of the eyes must be repaid, although there is some scholarly anger, but it is also the behavior of people in temperament, from this point of view, Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms" does vividly record the Fa Zheng in history, that is the Fa Zheng who lives in an era of anger and chivalry, and a Fa Zheng who is happy and revengeful. And it is this kind of Fazheng that may be the most suitable for the temper and taste of our little rascal Ma Chao.

What's more, at this time, Fa Zheng is just a young man of the same age as himself, if he catches eye on him, can Fa Zheng really be the same as the one in history?

"No!" The one who kidnaps the ticket, the ugly brother is the happiest, he used to do this!
