Chapter 225 Grand Return
Fufeng County,

The white silks in the whole city have been removed, and replaced with joyful red.What changed accordingly was the mood and style of the people in Fufeng County.

Zhang Ji looked at the results of his hard work and staying up all night for the past few days-under the instruction of Ma Chao, Zhang Ji mobilized all the county soldiers and civilians in all Fufeng counties to thoroughly clean up the sanitation of the entire road, and resolutely implemented The high-standard level of 'pave the road with loess and sprinkle the street with clear water' - there is indescribable comfort and a trace of sorrow in my heart.

As for Meng Da, who was standing beside him, his face was completely unlucky: the Minzhuang dispatched this time is not a voluntary labor!Moreover, the time was tight and the task was heavy, and nearly two hundred gold from the Fufeng Finance Department was spent in one go!This makes Meng Da, who is very sensitive and fragile to numbers, gold, and copper coins, not heartbroken!
Under Ma Chao's New Deal regulations, the government can no longer force people to serve in corvée.Although Fufeng County still retains the feudal exploitation regulations of "two campaigns a year" left by the imperial court, after Ma Chao's reform, it has become a part-time job benefit that is extremely beneficial to the general public.

For example, in this big cleaning activity, Meng Da's approach was to put up notices and mobilize the people in the city to serve corvee and clean the sanitation.On the afternoon of the day when the notice was posted, the sheriff's mansion in Fufeng County was surrounded by five thousand people. If Zhang hadn't known about it in advance, he would have thought it was some major incident in Fufeng County that caused the people's resentment. It's time to attack the Sheriff's Mansion: Work for the government, but you will be paid!Moreover, he still manages the food!This is really an irresistible temptation for those strong laborers who can only start a small business after planting the land.

Of course, there are also many sad guys in the city.Then the guy is naturally a big family in the city. Fortunately, the corvee launched by the Ma family can use a sum of money to write off the number of people who are in corvee.In addition, Fufeng County has never had any evil acts of expropriation and expropriation of big households, so those big households are more convinced by the Ma family's rule-of course, the dispute over the ownership of the wasteland in Fufeng, Xinping, and Beidi counties a year ago , which caused the Ma family to secretly carry out activities to eradicate the big families of the famous families, so that these big families who survived dared not be unconvinced...

Although with this income and the voluntary labor of the county soldiers, there are still two hundred gold gaps in expenses, which makes Mengda's mood and face always not good today.

"This lord who is so happy!" These days, every night, Meng Da always had this word in his mind, and he gritted his teeth twice before he could not fall asleep unwillingly.

Of course, the title of "the master of great success" can only be buried deep in the heart of Fufeng Finance Minister, no, it is now Yongzhou Finance Minister Meng Da, very deep, very deep...

Therefore, after Zhang Ji and Meng Da looked at each other, the two quickly put on a happy and inexplicably excited expression, waiting for the victory of the Ma family army.

And just a hundred steps outside the city gate, the battered county soldiers had already exhausted all their strength.Many of them had their clothes torn, their shiny metal armor scratched, their pompous hats ripped off, and even their boots trampled countless times.

To the desperation of the [-] county soldiers who were ordered to maintain order outside the city gate, they faced more than [-] enthusiastic Fufeng people watching.

The enthusiastic onlookers watched the flowers prepared by the citizens, cheered, and applauded—of course, many girls even prepared their own lifelong happiness.They were not sure whether they would faint after seeing the handsome and masculine soldiers of the Ma family army, or would they frantically break through the obstruction of the county soldiers and give the guy they liked a passionate kiss?
Under such emotional turmoil, a thousand county soldiers felt like a wrecked ship in the ocean, which might be overturned at any time.

At this moment, they are very envious of those guard brothers who stand within the city gate cordon, because they can leisurely line up in square formations, showing off the brightest armor and weapons they have just issued, and at the same time, they don't have to worry about going down. In a second, he was scratched in the face by some fanatical common people.

Seeing such a situation, Meng Da and Zhang Ji looked at each other helplessly, and the pretended expression on their faces immediately turned into a wry smile: They naturally knew the reason for such a situation!
With Ma Chao's tough military reforms, the military has now become the preferred occupation for young people under the Ma family's rule. Although this occupation is very risky, the profits in it are too great, and it is simply irresistible—after the unification of Yongzhou Well, the Ma family confiscated a large number of "nameless" cultivated land, and in the Ma family's New Deal, soldiers can distribute the land with their military merits!The rest of the people can only accept the seeds, cattle, technology, etc. provided by the government, and work for the government on a [-]-[-] basis.

Of course, such a policy is much better than those tenants farming for powerful landlords. At least it can guarantee that after they are full, they can leave some grain in exchange for some necessities of life.But in this feudal society based on agriculture, who wouldn't want to own the land completely?Moreover, the higher the military merit level of a soldier, the less tax he has to pay: even the lowest third-class soldier pays half the tax of ordinary people!
In addition, the Ma's army's fixed quarterly salary is also quite considerable. Although it can't make a fortune, it is an out-and-out iron rice bowl, and it can guarantee income without worrying about drought or flood. full reflection.

Of course, the craftsmen in the Ma's Armory, the tenants in the Ma's Farm, the herdsmen in the Ma's Ranch, and the shop assistants in the Ma's Shop all belong to this category.Anyway, in the whole of Fufeng, those who can have a little relationship with the Ma family are all cheerful and proud.Among all these professions, soldiers are naturally more promising.Other occupations are safe, but there are not many promotion channels.Especially in the past six months or so, the Ma family's business has not recruited any more people.

Only war provides a stage for those impulsive and dreamy young people to show their ability and loyalty.It is true that some of them, relying on their bravery and fearlessness, have gained success and fame, and a bright future for their wives and sons.

Therefore, when the first sound of horseshoes sounded in the distance and Ma Jiajun began to reveal his silhouette, the crowd had already begun to cheer uncontrollably.

As the majestic and majestic figure of the Ma family army slowly approached the city gate, the temperament of this mighty and mighty army completely shocked all the Fufeng people who came to watch.

Under Ma Chao's special strict order, the Ma's army troops marching on the official road were full of energy. The whole army exuded an arrogance, indifference, roughness, no regrets, and obedience to orders to the death. The Imperial Guards were even more energetic, cordial and majestic: on the night they returned to the city, Ma Chao ordered them to practice a smile with eight teeth!Otherwise, drive out Ma Chao's personal guards!
Affected by this, whenever the young people in Fufeng County pay their attention enviously, and the cheering enthusiasm of the girls hits their eardrums, all the soldiers of the Ma Family Army, like peacocks in heat, yelled commands triumphantly, Put on a look of contempt full of superiority.

Of course, there are no heavy cavalry, nor those well-equipped combat weapons.This return, according to Ma Chao, is just a show.

However, even so, the iron-blooded demeanor of the Ma family's army, which has stepped down from the battlefield, has caused the people of Fufeng County to watch the frenzy for the first time up close to the extreme!

When Ma Jiajun steered his war horses slowly into the city with his skillful skills, tens of thousands of people were already boiling, countless hats were thrown into the sky, countless people stepped on their shoes, and countless people injured their legs.And the poor county soldiers who maintain law and order can only shrink the cordon as much as they can, and shrink again...

And when Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi, the general of the Han Zhenxi, the head of the Ma family, the mighty general outside the Great Wall, and the reputation of "Yongzhou's brocade" and a series of great achievements, appeared in the eyes of the people, when his charming, kind and modest smile When the people floating towards Fufeng County appeared, the cheers from the whole Fufeng County almost shook the clouds in the sky...
