It's that simple, and it's so complicated.

It was once by solving the matter of those captives, talking about the soldiers marrying wives, and marrying wives and raising sons involved the distribution of land, and the distribution of fields involved the Shi clan of Fufeng, Xinping, and Beidi County, and the Shi clan was implicated in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty......

Ma Chao brushed it, he felt that he was about to collapse. But! That's not going to work, we have to keep going. Because, this is where the distribution of land comes in. In the future, there may be more inextricable things that will be linked to the scholars.

"Jia Fox, you can point directly and tell so-and-so, how can you humanize the martial artists, and in the process of the humanization of the martial artists, how should you deal with those wastelands? Be realistic, be simple, understand? Ma Chao shook his hand and asked a little powerlessly.

"It was confiscated and distributed to the soldiers, and at the same time, the fields that were privately occupied and embezzled by large households were also returned to the peasants." Jia Xu was really crisp and said the solution at once.

"Why?" Ma Chao was depressed: This method has come out, but this is too, too incomprehensible, right?

"Because the young master is honest, be simple......" Fa Zheng smiled, although he didn't figure out why, but he was also a young man, and he was happy to see Ma Chao deflated.

"Sun Jian can kill Wang Rui and Zhang Zhi, why can't we take the land of those big households? What's more, we are still ...... with the people," Jia Xu said this, and was no longer willing to continue to explain. In fact, a person like him is, usually, too lazy to explain.

"No! Winning the land and property of those big families is equivalent to touching the interests of those big families and standing on the opposite side of the big families of the scholars, so it is by no means a humanized practice of martial artists! The more Fa Zheng thought about it, the more he felt that Jia Xu's approach was unreasonable, so he questioned it.

In the face of Fa Zheng's questioning, Jia Xu was still a little interested, and after taking a sip of tea, he said to Fa Zheng: "The young master is in Yongzhou, if you want to enter the vision of the scholars, you can make it do it a long time ago." For example, worship Cai Yong as a teacher, or simply marry Miss Cai. I can still enter the eyes of the lord of the noble clan, but I didn't do it, do you know why? ”

Fa Zheng was stunned: Yes, Cai Yong is the theoretical leader among the scholars of the clan, if he worships under his door, or really marries Miss Cai, then Ma Chao can indeed quickly appear in the eyes of those scholars. But listening to this old fox, it seems that he has a higher means?

Ma Chao didn't care about Fa Zheng and Jia Xu at this time, and in his mind at this time, he was thinking about how feasible it was for him to marry Cai Yan......

"Sun Jian was able to enter the eyes of scholars and achieve great prestige, not because of his merits. Rather, it was because his exploits were completely in line with the political ideas of those scholars. That's the fundamental! Speaking of this, Jia Xu didn't bother to speak again. Leave only room for people to guess for themselves.

But Ma Chao was a little sober at this time, he usually had contact with the old man Cai Yong, and basically understood the political philosophy of those scholars: that is, 'in Germany is not in the army', or it can be more vivid, that is, 'to secure the country and to appease the people'.

These scholars naively believe that as long as the politics are clear and the virtuous are capable, the traitors will rest and the country will be safe; And the soldiers, the murderous things, have to be used as a last resort, and the reckless use of force will be destroyed. By policing the world with morality, we can realize the political ideal of "securing the country at the top and appeasing the people at the bottom".

The reason why Sun Jian was recognized by the scholars was because he had achieved the 'Shang'an country'. Dong Zhuo entered Beijing and created an arrogant and domineering dictatorship, which aroused the contempt and resistance of the scholars. Sun Jian worked so hard to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and in the eyes of the scholars, Sun Jian was a loyal and righteous man of the 'Shang'an country'.

And Jia Xu's words are actually very clear, what he wants Ma Chao to do is to 'go down to the people', and return the private land and property of those large households to the people, which is a shortcut to win the hearts of the people. At the same time, confiscating those wastelands is actually like Sun Jian killing Wang Rui and Zhang Zhi, and it is an obstacle to eradicating that is not conducive to one's own development!

Old fox, what a real awesome!

"Good! Now that the military advisor has said the way, then follow what the military advisor said! Ma Chao waved his hand, temporarily forgetting the idea of marrying Cai Yan's little beauty, and said with a bit of a domineering spirit: "While strengthening training, the armies must be ready for the movements of Yongzhou at any time. As for the problem of the fields, let's take the restless big households in Fufeng County to practice for the time being. ”

When everyone heard Ma Chao's last sentence, they suddenly felt that Ma Chao was really not a kind and benevolent master, and they all had a trace of jealousy towards Ma Chao. But more often than not, the old fox who came up with this idea is even more taboo.

Especially Fa Zheng, after hearing Jia Xu's method at this time and straightening out everything, he suddenly found that the old guy was sitting here, which was really condescending: the old guy is completely a ghost who can change the color of the wind and clouds between his hands!

At this point, the problem of Pound's prisoner was basically solved. Everyone passed this council, and they were also a little physically and mentally exhausted. Of course, the performance of Ma Chao and Jia Xu is too sudden.

And Hua Xin, who was sitting on the side, was still figuring out the orientation of the Ma Family Group. Only after Jia Xu walked to his side and glanced at him did Hua Xin be stunned and sober. He looked at Jia Xu's back, and regretted that he came to Fufeng County alone: it didn't seem as easy as he imagined to complete that big task......

After the meeting, Ma Chao planned to go to the arsenal, because almost all the craftsmen in Fufeng County were there, and Ma Chao wanted to see if he could make some money-making inventions, especially the roasted tea process, and he had to get it out before the new tea went on the market: that was the economic lifeblood of the Ma family!

After a short nap at noon, Ma Chao rode away to the arsenal. Well, as long as the relocation is far away, you can't run back and forth without riding a horse.

As soon as he arrived at the location, Ma Chao suddenly found that this Han Feng was quite efficient. I didn't spend my money unjustly: at this time, the arsenal already had the prototype of those monopoly companies in later generations, at least the site was large enough, there were enough outposts, and the defense was strict enough!

After two rounds of going back and forth, Ma Chao was even more satisfied with the new arsenal.

Han Feng is really a planner, not only in other aspects, but more importantly, he divided the entire arsenal into areas: staff accommodation area, manufacturing plant, security area, warehouse finished product area, etc., more detailed, in the manufacturing plant, there are three divisions: forging house, carpentry camp, and research and development house, which is really too much in line with Ma Chao's psychology.

In the R&D house, Han Feng also set up several offices, which seemed to be for the office of managers. And the largest and most spacious room is impressively reserved for himself.

After Lehehe turned around, Ma Chao was even happier as soon as he went out: he met an acquaintance.

Pu Yuan was worried about holding a piece of bamboo slip at this time, his mind was full of doubts about the steel filling method, and before he met Ma Chao, he muttered: How to build this forging furnace? What is the temperature in the furnace? What is the ratio of pig iron to wrought iron? How long does it take to quench for double-liquid quenching......

Ma Chao patted Pu Yuan's shoulder kindly, bluffing Pu Yuan almost collapsed on the ground: No way, it's too engrossed, it is inevitable that he will be shocked.

Later, when he saw that it was Ma Chao, Pu Yuan didn't care about saluting, and directly said the doubts in his mind, which made Ma Chao's face a little dark, and finally, Ma Chao replied with a suffocation: "These data, a certain is not very clear." But Han Sui left fifty scimitars in the Western Regions, you can take a few as a reference, according to the characteristics of those scimitars, you can try to explore, that research and development house, you can use it for experiments......"

"Experiments?" Pu Yuan slapped his head: Yes, with the sample, plus I try it over and over again, I will always get the desired result!

After thinking about it, Pu Yuan hurriedly went to Han Feng to get the sample, and before leaving, he shouted: "Young master, the carpenter Zheng Hun said that he was looking for you to have a suggestion, and he was in that warehouse......"

"Zheng Hun? This name is quite familiar......" Ma Chao muttered and walked towards the warehouse: "Do I know this person?" ”
