Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 478

"Mr. Gongtai, you have heard a great reputation for a long time!" Chen Gong and Zhao Yun met another group of people not long after they left, but Ma Teng ran out to meet them himself. In fact, when Ma Chao led the people to run, Ma Teng So he hurried out to avoid Ma Chao from doing stupid things. Unfortunately, Ma Chao ran too fast and he couldn't catch up. When he got nearby, he realized that the two sides had already started fighting.

Ma Teng hesitated for a moment, seeing that it was Ma Chao fighting with a general, and it was actually being suppressed faintly, so Ma Teng didn't come up to stop him.

It's good to let this kid suffer a little bit, otherwise he will be so defiant all the time, and he will definitely suffer a lot after a long time.

After watching the battle for a while, he turned back, waited until Ma Chao was defeated, then stopped Ma Chao in the middle of the road, and brought Ma Chao to meet Chen Gong.

"I've seen General Shoucheng." Chen Gong smiled and cupped his hands.

"The dog was reckless and rude. He offended Mr., and he will definitely be punished severely when he returns. Now he has brought it here, let him handle it!" Ma Teng asked Ma Chao to come to his side, and smiled at Chen Gong.

"General Shoucheng is serious, serious!" Chen Gong said with a quick smile: "No, General Meng Qi has the courage that is unworthy, and he will surely achieve great achievements in the future. The general is very lucky."

"This scoundrel is young and energetic, always making troubles. Last time he went to the Central Plains without discussing with his family. I heard that he entered the secret realm with Marquis Wen and Jun Jun. Didn't he cause trouble to Marquis Wen?" Ma Teng sighed. .

"There is no such thing as being young." Chen Gong couldn't help but think of his disciple who was obviously younger than Ma Chao but felt like a peer. He looks like a capable young man, if he survives several times of beatings, he will almost be able to practice, or find a son-in-law who is like Chu Nan to help him enlighten.

"In the secret realm, Meng Qi has made a lot of contributions. This time, I just saw my disciple's high martial arts skills, and he was determined to win. Both sides have a sense of proportion. Shoucheng doesn't have to worry." Chen Gong followed Ma Teng into the city, laughing Then explained to him the detailed process in the secret realm.

It was the first time even Zhao Yun had heard of this thing, and he couldn't help but be fascinated by it.

Ma Chao followed at the end of the group, but his mind was not here. He was attracted by another sentence of Chen Gong.

This Zhao Yun is his disciple! ?
Taking advantage of the gap between the two of them talking, Ma Chao couldn't help asking: "Sir, is this General Zhao really a disciple of your husband?"

"Exactly." Seeing him talking, Chen Gong smiled and nodded.

"I don't know if sir can also teach me martial arts?" Ma Chao glanced at Zhao Yun, then looked at Chen Gong, with some expectation. Is this great Confucian really omnipotent?

"This..." Chen Gong was obviously taken aback when he heard the words, are he sure Ma Chao didn't come here to provoke?
"Bastard, Mr. Gongtai is a great Confucian in the country. What is your status? What do you think when you go to learn martial arts from a great Confucian!?" Ma Teng didn't know where his son was blocked. What are you thinking.

But Chen Gong came to his senses, looked at Ma Chao, shook his head with a smile, and said, "I taught Zilong the art of war and strategy, but Zilong's martial arts was taught by a famous teacher. I am not proficient in this."

I will definitely know a little bit. These days Confucianism is also capable of killing people in battle, but if you want to point out talented generals like Ma Chao and Zhao Yun, that is to think too highly of him.

"Mr. Gongtai, don't blame him. This scoundrel is neglectful of discipline and doesn't understand etiquette." Ma Teng laughed.

"It doesn't matter." Chen Gong shook his head and said with a smile: "It is this pure heart that can be brave and diligent in martial arts. In the future, this child will definitely have a bright future in martial arts."

"Mr. Gongtai thinks highly of him." Ma Teng shook his head and sighed. He brought Chen Gong and Zhao Yun to the government office in the city.

"Mr. Gongtai." Ma Chao calmed down a lot along the way. Now he sat down and remembered the business, and couldn't help asking: "I heard that the imperial court allocated a million stones of food and grass for Liang Xing and others. Is there anything wrong?"

"You bastard, this is a court matter, when will it be your turn to ask!" Ma Teng was furious, waiting for his son, and gave him a look that you did a good job.

"It's okay, it's true, but it's not for the four generals of Liang Xing. The million grain and grass are allocated for the reconstruction of Guanzhong!" Chen Gong waved his hand, signaling Ma Teng not to get angry, and then said with emotion: "In the past, Guanzhong What a grand occasion, I don’t want to walk all the way to the palace now, but what I see is the bones exposed in the wild, thousands of miles of uninhabited land, I feel very sad in my heart, I am here to represent the imperial court, hoping to rebuild Guanzhong and restore people’s livelihood.”

"Then..." Ma Chao stood up and looked at Chen Gong as if he was looking at Qian Liang: "Sir, our side is also in the Guanzhong area. I don't know if the million stones of grain and grass are from us?"

"Of course there are. This million stones of food and grass is not a small number, and it is impossible for the imperial court to take it out at once. Now, only 200,000 stones have been sent to Guanzhong, and the rest will be sent in batches." Chen Gong nodded and smiled.

Ma Teng knew that whether the remaining 800,000 stones had their share was conditional.

"General Shoucheng, the general must have heard about why the palace came to Guanzhong this time. Today, Yuan Shao is separatist in the north and owns the land of four states. He doesn't want to serve the court, but he hinders the court's governance everywhere, and even openly issued a statement, wanting to crusade The imperial court is really an act of treason."

Chen Gong picked up the glass of wine, looked at Ma Teng and sighed: "Since the Lord Zi was in power, the imperial government's policies have been clear, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and households have surplus food. This is a good thing for the imperial court and the world. But now Yuan Benchu ​​openly confronts the imperial court. Great Evil, the palace here comes to Guanzhong, in addition to revitalizing Guanzhong, it also hopes to gather the strength of the generals in Guanzhong to raise troops together to help the court crusade against the rebellious party and restore peace to the world! I wonder what General Shoucheng thinks?"

"The imperial court is in trouble, and we, as ministers of the Han Dynasty, are obliged to raise troops to fight against the traitors." Ma Teng said with a smile, "but..."

While drinking, Chen Gong motioned Ma Teng to continue, he knew that such a matter could not be negotiated so easily.

"To be honest, sir, the general supports the new policies of Ling Jun, but are some policies too harsh?" Ma Teng looked at Chen Gong and said with a smile: "Of course, I don't think so, Xiliang All ethnic groups have similar concerns, if this problem is not resolved, even if the general has the heart to serve the country, the soldiers under his command may not be willing."

Chen Gong put down his glass of wine with a smile and said: "General Shoucheng's words are wrong. The new policy is based on the long-term peace and stability of the world. Of course, there are actually preferential treatment for the gentry, but compared with the past 200 years, it is indeed a bit harsh, but It's not that Quan can't accept it, besides, for the Xiliang gentry, the imperial court's new policy is actually beneficial."

"Oh?" Ma Teng was puzzled, "What do you mean by that?"

"General Shoucheng came after General Fubo, but in the general's generation, it's already..." Chen Gong began to give Ma Teng detailed borders, the benefits of the new policy for Xiliang gentry.

It is the poor and common people that the New Deal wins over.

But where is the boundary between the poor family, the common people and the noble family?

The common people are easy to distinguish. The offshoots of those big families are called the common people, but what about the noble and poor families?

Xiliang is barren, with vast land and few people, plus Qiang riots every year. If the gentry here are sent to the Central Plains, they may be just poor families, and the New Deal is actually biased towards this group of people. In terms of policy, the New Deal in South Chu is actually For most families in Xiliang, it is beneficial.

Including people from a famous family like Ma Teng, in fact, if Ma Teng hadn't become a warlord, he wouldn't even be considered a poor family. The New Deal is beneficial to the Ma family.

Of course, there are big gentry in Xiliang, but after all, most of them are poor families. The more barren the place, the fewer the noble families, and the capable ones have all moved away. The rest are either warlords or poor families. The impact of the New Deal on them In fact, it's not that big, and even if you are willing to go to the Central Plains to develop, you can still have a relatively fair opportunity.

Of course, the upper limit was also locked by Chu Nan, and it was impossible for families with too much influence like the Yuan family and the Xun family to appear again.

At least it was like this in Chu Nan's hands at the beginning, and I don't know about it later.

Therefore, there is no contradiction between the two sides in this regard.

However, it is actually very difficult to explain these things. It took Chen Gong two hours to explain the truth to Ma Teng.

"General Shoucheng's actions are to help those who oppress the general protect their rights, how ridiculous?" Chen Gong looked at Ma Teng who was a little dazed.

"So that's how it is." Ma Teng nodded and said, "Although the general understands, the soldiers under his command don't. Why don't you stay here for a few days, and the general will explain the matter clearly, and I will discuss it later. how?"

Delay?

Chen Gong nodded with a smile and said: "Alright, then let's bother the general."

"Sir, is that what you are talking about? It is my blessing to come to Xiliang, sir. Even if you want to live here for a long time, the general dare not say no. In this way, the general will be here tonight." So how about inviting famous people from this city to come over for a banquet, and clean up the dust for Mr.?" Ma Teng said with a smile.

If Chu Nan was here, he would definitely find a way to reject it. After all, this kind of celebrity banquet is an unfamiliar territory for him.

Not much. For Chen Gong, this matter is much simpler. He basically came here on such occasions for the first half of his life.

At that moment Chen Gong nodded and said: "In this way, there will be General Lao."

"You're welcome, sir. Let's take a rest first, then I will prepare later!" Ma Teng said with a smile.

"Alright." Chen Gong nodded, and was escorted to the guest room under the leadership of Ma Teng.

"Father, why don't you talk to your husband about the millions of stones of grain and grass?" Ma Chao was thinking about the millions of stones of grain and grass. Now that he left Chen Gong's place, he finally couldn't help complaining that his father didn't dare to fight for it.

"This kind of thing, you can just mention it. You still want to finalize it with others today!?" Ma Teng glared at his son. There are skills in this negotiation. You are so stupid to go up and directly Yes, if you don't come and don't talk, you will be despised.

"These people are trouble!"

"Put away your banditry!" Ma Teng scolded him, and turned to prepare for the dinner.

Ma Chao looked at Chen Gong's house, thought for a while, and then left...
