Chapter 623 Ma Jun’s Illness
Hua Xiong was walking on the road, thinking about how to speak later, while thinking, while walking, when he raised his head, he had already arrived at General Zuo's Mansion, he knocked on the door, and soon, a craftsman opened After entering the door, he looked at Hua Xiong outside the door, Hua Xiong was not angry because of his rudeness, Hua Xiong was not from a high family background, for some reason, he had a different feeling of closeness to these craftsmen, he said with a smile: " Please tell me, please tell me that Sili Captain Hua Xiong is visiting!"

The craftsman was a little apprehensive of his kindness. He hurriedly paid his respects and went back to tell him. Not long after, he ran out and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Ma is sick again. I can't wake him up." The craftsman thought about it After a while, he opened the door and let Hua Xiong in. Hearing that Ma Jun was sick, Hua Xiong was naturally a little worried. He frowned, followed the craftsman into the inner mansion, and asked, "What disease is it? Is it serious? ?”

The craftsman led him into the inner mansion, and when he came to a house, the craftsman signaled Hua Xiong to come, looked at the room from the window, Hua Xiong walked over, still doubtful, could it be a contagious disease? ?If so, I have to take care of this matter, Hua Xiong was thinking, looking from the window, he saw Ma Jun sitting in the room, walking back and forth anxiously, constantly flipping through various items on the desk, laughing from time to time , sometimes furious, Hua Xiong looked a little creepy.

"It's a brain disease"

"Brain disease???" Hua Xiong was startled, his eyes widened, and he asked blankly: "I am a big man who will be a great craftsman with brain disease?"

The craftsman didn't know what to say, and after thinking for a long time, he finally said: "We don't know, just recently, Ma Gong suddenly locked himself in the house, and he became like this. We went in several times, but he scolded me." After going out, a person who is usually very gentle has become like this for some reason, alas, what a person." Hearing the words of the craftsman, Hua Xiong was also stunned.

"They said that Ma Gong might have summoned a ghost. Earlier, Master Liu made a seal for him, engraved with the word will make, and then he looked like this. We also asked him. The stone used for the seal must be obscene. Already!" the craftsman said in a low voice, Hua Xiong hurriedly fled the mansion, took a few steps back, and muttered from time to time: "I don't want to disturb, I don't want to disturb, I don't want to disturb."

The craftsman was taken aback for a moment, and asked with some doubts: "Is the captain from Liangzhou?"

"Exactly."

The craftsman suddenly realized, nodded, and didn't say anything more. Hua Xiong glanced at Ma Jun's mansion with some fear, and then looked at the craftsman and said, "Can you make repeating crossbows?" Hearing this, the craftsman nodded and said : "I can do it. Does the captain need a repeating crossbow? I don't need to do it. We have finished products here. The captain will leave a name and take it away."

Hearing the craftsman's words, Hua Xiong just nodded and said: "Then hurry up, I have something urgent." The craftsman saw his uneasiness, but he didn't mind. Liangzhou people are in awe of ghosts and gods. As far as I heard, Hua Xiong signed his name on the paper, and the craftsman took him to fetch the repeating crossbow. While walking on the road, the craftsman asked, "Where is the captain from Liangzhou? When I was young, I once Build a city in Liangzhou”

"Fufeng people, you were going to build Guzang County. I know that that year, the Xianbei people invaded massively, and the bandits and chieftains burned, killed and looted. No one in Liangzhou could escape the disaster. Guzang was out of shape because of the war. Fortunately, the Northern Army is here, Zhang Gong, Zheng Gong, and Bao Xiaowei. If it weren’t for them, Liangzhou would have fallen.” Hua Xiong said with some emotion, and he said appreciatively: “You don’t know, I heard Ah, when Duke Zhang died in battle, Guzang had only three thousand Han soldiers, but he tried to hold back a hundred thousand Xianbei, and failed to let them break through the city!"

The craftsman also nodded, but he was not from Liangzhou, so he couldn't empathize with what Hua Xiong said.

"I have three elder brothers, and I have also gone to Xiuguzang County." Hua Xiong said with a smile.

The craftsman was taken aback, asked his name, nodded thoughtfully, and said: "It seems that there are three people." Hua Xiong seemed very happy and excited that this craftsman might know his elder brother, and the two chatted. Getting up, the craftsman took the repeating crossbow, handed it to Hua Xiong, and asked: "The captain is still more fortunate than me. I am the only son in my family, and the salary I receive can barely support my parents. I can't get married yet. "

"That's not necessarily true. I have nine sons in my family. I have six elder brothers and two sisters." Hua Xiong said, and the craftsmen were a little surprised. Nine sons?Your father is amazing! !

"But look, I'm still alone now. My brothers and sisters are all dead, and my parents are gone, so I'm alone!" Hua Xiong said with a smile, there was no trace of grief in his words. He picked up the repeating crossbow and played with it. After a while, Hua Xiong bid farewell to the craftsman and was about to leave. At this moment, he heard a loud laugh. Ma Jun kicked the room away and walked out. The sun was dazzling. He covered his eyes and held a that seal.

Hua Xiong was terrified, and quickly stepped back a few steps. Ma Jun turned his head and saw Hua Xiong in the distance. He was a little surprised when Hua Xiong came. He was very happy with his achievements these days, and he smiled. Waving his hand, he shouted: "Captain Hua!!" Hua Xiong was still a little flustered, not daring to get too close to Ma Jun, and asked, "Ma Jun, is your illness cured?"

Ma Jun was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I have never been sick, but I just have some thoughts, so I pondered in the room, why did the captain come here?"

"I'm here to get the repeating crossbow. I left my name and I'll go first, go." Hua Xiong left here in a hurry, seeing Hua Xiong who fled here quickly, Ma Jun was still a little strange, and called the craftsman When he came to the side and asked about his affairs, the craftsman also told him one by one, Ma Jun nodded, and then the craftsman asked: "Ma Gong, what are you thinking about these days?"

"I'm still thinking about it. I'll let you know when it's done. By the way, find me some master craftsmen who are good at carving, and I want exquisite ones."

"it is good."

Ma Jun went to deal with other matters in Jiang Zuo's mansion. When the craftsman sent Hua Xiong's name, Ma Jun was a little dumbfounded.

"With the handle of a crossbow, I sign: Guan Yu, Colonel of the Northern Army."

"Um???"

Hua Xiong rushed directly to General Huangfu's mansion, walked into the mansion, the person who came out to greet him was naturally Huangfu Gushou, he led Hua Xiong into the house, looked at Huangfu Song on the sick bed, Hua Xiong smiled , stepped forward to shake him awake, Huangfusong opened his eyes with some difficulty, saw Hua Xiong in front of him, it took a lot of time before he recognized him, Hua Xiong picked up the repeating crossbow, placed it on the to Huangfusong's side.

Huangfusong's eyes widened, he cried out in a low voice, stretched out his hand, and held the repeating crossbow with difficulty, tears came from his eyes, he kept groping for the repeating crossbow, his face was full of smiles, Laughing from time to time, mixed with tears.

"Okay, I've solved your father's heart disease. I'm leaving, and I still have a lot of things to deal with. The population policy, the three economic policies, and the evaluation policy all need me to do it. I have some I'm too busy, if you have nothing to do, don't bother me!"

Hua Xiong waved his hand, turned and left the mansion.

In the 22st year of Xiping, January.

Liangzhou is stable, there are folk husbands and wells, and Huanglong emerges.

The entire temple is still immersed in an extremely busy atmosphere. From the Sangong to the officials, there is no leisure. The same is true in the local area. The officials are worrying about implementing the temple's government orders. One year, he also moved from Liangzhou to Xizhou, without stopping all the way, and rushed directly to Xiting County. With the desolation of the bandits outside the Great Wall, the Liangzhou issue that had troubled the temple for nearly a hundred years was finally over.

Today, Xizhou has become the most important state for Dahan. Xiting County creates a lot of wealth for Dahan every year, and the Southern Army is ordered to protect this source of wealth.

As Yuan Shao minted a large number of copper coins, issued them to the people, and the people ushered in the first prosperity, Yuan Shao was still very worried. He knew that with the passage of time, rising prices might lead to bad results. However, the common people are still very happy. The common people don't think about prices and the like. They only know that they have more and more money in their hands and can buy more things.

After the common people have money, they really buy a lot, so that the supply of many goods is in short supply. The producers are also very happy, and start to put in a lot of production to produce more goods. At this time, the temples are also doing well. Prepared for a unified price, within the country, a relatively fair unified price has been made for many items such as agricultural tools, tea, salt, cloth, etc., and it has been repeatedly stipulated that only temples can raise this price, and merchants are not allowed promote! ! !

In this way, the price can be suppressed in a short period of time and the price will not rise too quickly. However, the rise is inevitable, because if it is always restricted and the producers lose money, they will not continue to produce. Yuan Shao was required to pay close attention to all of them, to be prepared for promotion and reduction, and he was required to regulate the world's market by himself. Obviously, he was extremely busy, and Yuan Shao was always working hard, not daring to relax.

Emperor Xiaokang spent all his energy in order to make the people rich, but he did not expect to achieve this goal so quickly today. Although this wealth is a bit false, it still has a great effect, and he can greatly change people's lives. The situation of the common people, at least when prices are under control, the common people will not only be self-sufficient as before, spin and wear themselves, they will go out occasionally, buy some beautiful clothes, and buy a satin weaving machine.

It is indeed conducive to improving people's livelihood.

Although the profits that producers can obtain are reduced, they can make up for it due to the large sales volume, so that they will not lose money.

There were no problems in a short period of time, and Yuan Shao felt relieved.

As long as the current state can be maintained, it is no problem to enrich the national treasury if the economy is to prosper. This policy not only has an impact on the people, but also has an impact on the local tyrants. There are countless arable land in the family and countless servants, but after endless restrictions, they cannot own a large amount of arable land, and even the servants cannot keep it. Not a lot of arable land does not need so many tenants.

Tyranny can't raise them for nothing, but seeing the prosperity of the market, they turn around and join the ranks of producers. They have a lot of money, they can buy raw materials, and they can process them. They have many servants who can serve as labor. They only need to provide them with a small amount of food and money. Under such circumstances, the tyrants gradually began to abandon the original farming to get rich, and started the road to get rich through production.
