Brother Ugly is a problem baby, but Ma Chao is not, as early as after Jia Xu finished saying that big treatise, he understood what Jia Xu meant - of course, the reason why Ma Chao can understand before Brother Ugly is because he learned a term when he was in junior high school: dialectical materialism.

In other words, when Ma Chao himself opened his mouth to say 'inner saint and outer king', he already understood the essence of Jia Xu: if you can't beat Kanto, let's be some guys that the Ma family should do.

And now it can become the food of the Ma family, and after swallowing it, there is undoubtedly only one place that can greatly increase the strength of the Ma family: Hanzhong!

Moreover, Ma Chao also knows that it is extremely easy and fast to deal with Hanzhong. If it is done properly, it will only take a peace talk. The entire Hanzhong region will fall peacefully into the hands of the Ma family. This kind of choice is much stronger than spending more than a year to attack and annex the state and surround Yuan Shao!

Ma Chao has this confidence because during the one-year period when the Ma family was recuperating, he sent Han Feng to Hanzhong to find economic cooperation between the two sides. At that time, the purpose was naturally to support and pacify Hanzhong, but in essence, economic cooperation was also a slow knife, killing people invisibly.

In particular, the knife handle is still completely in the hands of Ma Chao!

To this day, the economic and trade between the Ma family and Hanzhong, in addition to the largest item of salt purification, there are also new cooperation projects such as black rice, tangerine, medicinal materials, tea, aquaculture, and of course, the huge profit of vegetable oil trade. While the two sides benefited from each other, their diplomatic relations, military and cultural aspects were also gradually closely integrated.

But if you analyze it in depth, you can find that the trade cooperation between the Ma family and Hanzhong is actually the Ma family playing a strong role in active operation, and its core interests have always been in the hands of the Ma family. The reason for cooperating with Hanzhong is because Hanzhong's output and quality are better than those of the Ma family. However, once the cooperation between the two sides is severed, salt and vegetable oil will definitely not seriously affect the livelihood of the people under the rule of the Ma family.

As for black rice, tangerines, medicinal herbs, tea, and aquaculture, they will not affect the Ma family at all. It was Hanzhong that played the role of an exporter of raw materials, and its trade routes were completely controlled by the Ma family. And poor Zhang Lu, in the environment of extreme contempt for business in ancient times, in his mind, he simply realized such a serious situation!

It is conceivable that once the Ma family cuts off trade with Hanzhong, the emerging economic pillar of the entire Hanzhong will collapse with a bang! The ensuing industrial exodus, capital outflow and other situations have overwhelmed Hanzhong, whose economy has been hit hard. The final result will be that the entire Hanzhong will be self-defeating and at the mercy of the Ma family!

The impact of economic effects is far from being as simple as Zhang Lu imagined. No one has lived in a well-fed, well-fed, peaceful and peaceful environment for more than a year, and after tasting the sweetness, he will follow Comrade Zhang Lu back to before the liberation, and then live a life where he can withstand hunger and cold by relying on faith alone.

Not to mention, Comrade Zhang Lu, who has no economic acumen, has too much let his believers, who control most of the resources of Hanzhong, act as representatives of the people at the bottom, and those believers who rely on the support of the Ma family to live an exhaustive and luxurious life will respond to the call of the Ma family and betray Zhang Lu as soon as they suddenly lose everything!

At that time, the entire Hanzhong soldiers will oppose the people's grievances, and the belief in the 'Five Doumi Sect' that Zhang Lu has worked so hard to establish will only become a castle in the air and a source of hatred for the entire Hanzhong people! Zhang Lu would never have known that the Ma family spent more than a year feeding the docile sheep of the people and soldiers in Hanzhong with sufficient flesh and blood to raise vicious dogs. And when Zhang Lu can't provide flesh and blood, it will bite its owner back and run into the arms of a master who can continue to provide them with food.

"My lord, I'm afraid your whole mind has been on Kanto recently, I'm afraid you don't know much about Hanzhong's movements, right?" Xun You couldn't help but smile when he saw the familiar conspiracy smile on the corner of Ma Chao's mouth.

"What? Could it be that Zhang Lu still thought that he was dying too slowly, and sent troops to fight us again? Ma Chao said this, of course, it was just a conditioned reflex. After all, Hanzhong already had a record of attacking the Ma family twice.

"If he doesn't come to beat us, won't we incite him to hit others?" At this time, Fa Zheng smiled very weirdly, just like a fox that bit a fat chicken, quite a bit of Jia Xu's demeanor back then.

"Oh, let's talk about it....... Ma Chao saw his virtue, and knew that there must be something bad about Fazheng in Hanzhong, and besides, he was still the worst. patted Fa Zheng's shoulder vigorously, and in front of everyone, he said directly: "If you do a good job, I will immediately restore your position as a squire in the internal history!" ”

Yes, after Fa Zheng Liangzhou was reckless and underestimated the enemy, causing 5,000 Ma family soldiers to die in a foreign land, he was demoted by three levels in a row. And at this time, Ma Chao suddenly tempted Fa Zheng with such a favored letter, not because Ma Chao did not speak on a whim, but with the actual reward to tell everyone: As long as it is beneficial to the Ma family and in line with the strategic significance of the Ma family, you can do it boldly! I'm Ma Chao, I'm not afraid that you are too capable, I'm afraid that you don't have the ability to abuse here to make up for it!

"Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang have a grudge against killing their mother, and Liu Zhang, who succeeded to the throne, couldn't look down on Zhang Lu." Fa Zheng listened to Ma Chao throw such a big pie, and he was not lazy. His eyes lit up and he said to Ma Chao: "When the lord cracked Zhang Lu's attack on the Ma family, he buried Yang Song's secret flag, and after the lord left, Wei Chen naturally didn't want to let this chess piece be idle, so he used his own Yu Lu to continue to bribe Yang Song and let him blow the wind in his ears beside Zhang Lu. ”

"Thanks to the Ma family's support for Hanzhong in the past year, Zhang Lu naturally feels that his waist bag is bulging and his waist is stiff after calming down for more than a year........ When he said this, Fa Zheng patted his waist and paused for a while, obviously feeling very appropriate for Ma Chao's new terms. Especially when he became married this year, he understood the importance of waist to men.

And Ma Chao and Fa Zheng have known each other for many years, how can they not know that Fa Zheng's mind has gone astray at this time? The bull's eyes glared, and he signaled Fa Zheng to hurry up and get down to business. After Fa Zheng smiled, he continued: "There's nothing to say, Yang Song is blowing the wind in his ears and I have asked the Ministry of Rites to create some rumors from time to time, and I have asked the Ministry of War to send shadows to create some conflicts on the border. After the angry Zhang Lu had a big temper, he started fighting with Liu Zhang as soon as his brain was hot. ”

Fa Zheng said these words very passionately, obviously bothered by other things. And after Ma Chao took a closer look at Fa Zheng, he pretended to encourage Fa Zheng, shook Fa Zheng's hand and said: "Filial piety is worthy of being the wisdom of the Ma family, as soon as this plan comes out, Hanzhong can be in the hands of the Ma family in more than a month!" ”

Yes, what kind of business can make a fortune? War Money!

What business burns the most money? Or war!

If Zhang Lu is An Ansheng, then Ma Chao calculates Hanzhong, and it may take half a year and months, but Fa Zheng dug a pit in advance and let Zhang Lu jump in, then Zhang Lu will definitely not survive two months! Therefore, under some gratitude, Ma Chao unknowingly and unconsciously put a bag of objects in Fazheng's hand: that thing was a warm and tonic medicine that Ma Chao took from Hua Tuo early in the morning because he was too crazy last night, and that men needed.......

And Fa Zhenghu glanced at the medicine bag in his hand suspiciously, and then looked at Ma Chao's eyes of 'men are really hard', and immediately understood what Ma Chao meant. A face immediately turned red with anger, and his angry expression was clearly roaring silently at Ma Chao: You can't do it! If it weren't for the fact that the court would have to save face for you now, I would have to fight with you!!

But Ma Chao was so excited when he saw Fa Zheng like this, but he scratched his head for some reason: When he talked about his waist just now, he was so positive, and then he spoke so melancholy, it was clearly a man's move to sigh that his 'waist' was not good? You can't be wrong........
