Chapter 226

When Meng Da sent the latest financial statement to Ma Chao, he deliberately ordered the cost of the return ceremony, with a look of grief on his face.

And Ma Chao was also taken aback: "The face project, so expensive? It actually cost two hundred gold?"

Seeing Ma Chao's surprised and reluctance, Meng Da felt that his heart felt better: It seems that the lord is in charge, and he knows that the money is expensive... But the next sentence made Meng Da feel like crying Damn.

"Not bad! Although it cost a little more, it's definitely worth it! Meng Da and Zhang Ji, you two have done a good job, and you each received two money as a bonus!"

Zhang is very happy in his heart, working in Ma's house is comfortable.When there is nothing to do, the lord never looks for trouble.And when something happens, as long as you risk your life and move forward, there will be no less rewards afterwards!Zhang has already received extra wages like bonuses twice, and every time he received them back, he felt that it was not just a surprise brought by the amount of bonuses: this is what the lord values!
And Meng Da's expression was very interesting, obviously he was very happy to receive the bonus.And getting money from his financial department made him very distressed: this feeling of pain and happiness really made him tangled and tangled every time... In the end, for the long-term stability of the Ma family and the dedication to his duty At the end of the day, Meng Da said cruelly: "My lord, I still don't want my bonus. After all, the Ma family's finances are not well-off now..."

When he said this, Meng Da's tone was very low, and he felt a little against his will: This feeling of being unable to get along with money is painful for anyone to say...

Ma Chao was also taken aback, and after staring carefully at Meng Da's eyes for a while, he smiled happily.And beside him, Jia Xu, Fazheng and Yang Fu also pursed their lips indistinctly: This Meng Da is really a wonderful person.At the lord's expense, it's so tangled up, it's too much to laugh at.

"Zidu, since my lord has a reward, go and get it. If the old man is right, the lot of property that Han Sui has already sent us will definitely exceed the cost!" Jia Xu stroked himself. Goatee, I still feel more at ease when I return to Fufeng: "You think the lord is the kind of person who is very happy? This grand return is just to let Han Sui see how supportive the people under the Ma family are, and the military appearance of the Ma family. How mighty, such a psychological deterrent is enough to give us a few more bargaining chips in the negotiation!"

Hearing what Jia Xu said, Meng Da looked at Ma Chao differently.What was even more surprising was that Yang Fu went on to say: "Brother Zidu, don't be blinded by the lord. This ceremony, the lord has a good idea! Except for Han Sui from Liangzhou and Zhang Lu from Hanzhong, everyone Have you sent an envoy here?"

The next words don't need to be so clear from Yang Fu's words, but Meng Da slapped his head: "Isn't it, my father Meng Ta is responsible for receiving these two people. Why didn't I put these two things together?" What about the connection?"

Ma Chao looked at the two people's explanations and nodded slightly.After returning the financial statement to Meng Da, he said, "I did this because there is actually another factor. Who can guess it?"

Jia Xu and Yang Fu looked at each other, obviously they had already guessed it.It's just that I don't want to show off again, but Fazheng's kid is not so scheming, so he rushed to say: "Recruit soldiers!"

"That's right, it's recruiting soldiers!" Ma Chao was overjoyed, and told everyone the idea in his heart: "The Ma family has now unified Yongzhou, except for Jingzhao and Fengyi counties, and has a standing army of [-]. Shocking the feudal lords and those outside the Great Wall are beyond their capabilities. Therefore, the matter of recruiting troops is imminent. Moreover, the more powerful the Ma family army behind a certain one is, the more fearful Dong Zhuo will be, and the wealth and life of a certain one will be even worse. Be safe."

"So, this grand comeback ceremony must not only be held, but also so grand. By the way, tomorrow's award ceremony will also be made more grand according to the letter I wrote before I came back, and it will be announced on the list, making the whole city The common people here all know that tomorrow the Ma family barracks will be open to the common people, and if the common people are interested, they can enter the camp to watch..."

"My lord, today it's just a city gate and a street, and more than a thousand soldiers from the county were sent out to maintain order. If the people are sent to the barracks, I'm afraid..." Sure enough, Zhang did not consider the benefits of Ma Chao's recruitment of troops, as expected. Instead, think of your own security issues first.

"Hahaha... Isn't Governor Zhang just joking?" Pound laughed kindly, and said, "Master De Jong, don't forget that the common people go to the barracks. Except for those soldiers who were awarded honors, the remaining tens of thousands Soldiers, how can you let the common people have accidents?"

Zhang also laughed when he heard this, and said to Pang De: "It's a trance, it's easy to laugh, it's easy to laugh... However, today and tomorrow I'm afraid I will have to trouble General Huang, today Fufeng County has poured in many spies, the shadows under his command camp……"

Brother Chou actually came back in front of Ma Chao, but after receiving the order, he was stationed outside the city for two days, and only entered the city with Ma Chao on the third day, feeling the enthusiasm of the people of Fufeng County.Followed by Miss Ruxue, who learned that Brother Chou actually had the title of "Ghost Face General" in Fufeng County, and her affection for Brother Chou increased even more.

At this time, Brother Chou was still thinking about how to add fuel to the flames and completely deceive Miss Ruxue into his hands.Hearing that Zhang Ji mentioned the business, his expression immediately darkened, and he smiled: "Don't worry, the sheriff, those people are all under my nose. If anyone dares not open their eyes tomorrow, we will be him immediately!"

"My lord is wise!" Yang Fu interjected, "If the people of Fufeng visit the Ma family army's barracks tomorrow, and the benefits of the military reform have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, then this recruiting work will definitely be more effective!"

"It's more than getting twice the result with half the effort? Yang Biejia didn't know something. Before this return ceremony, the conscription office outside the barracks was also very popular. Many children from rich families were also proud of being soldiers, and they were thinking of ways to join the Ma family army! Pound rubbed his hands together and said excitedly.

Yes, with Ma Chao's vigorous propaganda and the preferential treatment of being a soldier, the young people under the Ma family's rule are all proud to join the Ma family army.The conscription offices always surround some young people who are trying to join the army. The recruiting officers who used to be rebuffed and hated by everyone are now very popular and become popular in the eyes of the neighbors.Many people, including some landlords and wealthy children, also sharpened their heads and squeezed into the army. For this reason, they spared no expense in bribing the officers in charge.

However, these people generally have a low success rate, because the conditions for enlisting in the Ma Family Army are clearly stated in the military reform, and there are also special commanders who are responsible for training during the conscription. Seriously, just the punishment of never being able to re-enter the Ma family has made many people strictly discipline themselves to protect their own vital interests.

And for more than half a year, Ma Chao has been committed to taking the route of elite soldiers. He has reached a heinous stage in arming the troops. Ma Chao jumped and cursed.So for more than half a year, the Ma family's financial situation to support a 5000-strong army was already very annoying, and there was no plan to expand it. This undoubtedly disappointed those young people who were eager to "serve the country with loyalty".

It is believed that this expansion of recruitment will definitely trigger a "military craze", which will bring the Ma family's strength to a new level.

"That would be great." Ma Chao squinted his eyes and thought for a while: Does he know the reason why those children from rich and powerful families want to join the army, isn't it just to transfer their land to the name of the children of the army, and then pay less taxes...

To be honest, Ma Chao really doesn't like the three melons and two dates of those big families now.Besides, these big families were left behind because of their good character and reputation. If they were vicious guys, they would have been confiscated by the ugly brother for various crimes.

"The recruitment of soldiers this time cannot be limited to Fufeng County. It is necessary to recruit soldiers from the entire Yongzhou, and pick out good soldiers who are healthy, simple and loyal, and preferably have combat experience, and fill them into the Ma's army. This time, we must expand Up to..." Speaking of this, Ma Chao looked at Meng Da, and then said cautiously: "Expand to [-] regular combat troops!"

After Meng Da heard the number of '2', he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief: Fortunately, only 10 people were added. If the lord gets nervous and wants to get [-] people, he will commit a crime and fight him. !
