He will be a master craftsman, and the official position of two thousand stones will cost two thousand gold...... But where did the impoverished Ma San get 2,000 gold?

"Ali, how much money do you have at home?"

As soon as he returned home, Ma Yue hurriedly found Ma Li, "Quickly rummage through me, all these years, how much money the second brother has sent to the house, take it all out!" ”

The family was frightened, and the eagle horse hurriedly ran back to the house, ran around in the front and back yards, and took out Ma Yue's money, monthly money, and the money sent by the caravan to subsidize the family.

"Master, your money is basically the same as the expenditure of the mansion, and there are eight gold and 163,700 yuan left, which is more than twenty-four gold, and if you need it urgently, you can exchange it for twenty-two gold." Ma Li carried the account sheet and said, "Shopkeeper Su sent 200 gold last year, but this year, the war will be chaotic and the horse can't come out, and the market is not good, so I sent 100 gold." There is also the one hundred and fifty gold rewarded by His Majesty at the beginning of the year, and the purchase reward you have won on the battlefield, a total of one hundred and thirty gold."

Ma Li looked at Ma Yue and said proudly: "Master, our house now has a total of more than six hundred gold!" ”

This money is too much, and this money is enough to buy 300 acres of fertile land and more than 20 ploughing cattle on the most fertile land in the suburbs of Luoyang.

"That's not enough! That's a lot! Ma Yue frowned, took the account sheet and glanced aside, and said to Ma Yu: "In this way, Ah Yu Ali, you go and ask Yun Chang and Yan Ming to come back." ”

"No."

Ma Yu saw that Ma Yue's expression was serious, and he didn't dare to ask more, so he immediately ran to the remote stable and led the horses to run towards the city and outside the city.

After the two left, Ma Yue took a deep breath, frowned and pinched his eyebrows, looked around and found that Peng Shi was originally practicing bow and arrow, seeing that he didn't shoot arrows anymore, he stood aside with a bow, but he didn't know what to say, just stood like that.

"Ah Zhong is fine, let's continue shooting."

As soon as Ma Yue said this, Peng Shi put down his bow and arrow, walked over and bowed his head and said, "Jun Hao, what happened, maybe I can share your worries." ”

He didn't know how Ma Yue got along with his brothers, but what Peng Shi knew was that Gan Ning asked him to come over and follow Ma Yue to ask him to work for Ma Yue, but after he came over, he was raised by Ma Yue like an uncle all day long, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Ma Yue didn't have anything to say, but Peng Shi said so, what else did he have to hide, and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, wait for my brothers to come, let's talk together." ”

It is true that he has not seen Yan Xingguan Yu for many months, and he thinks about it in his heart.

At this time, there was a knock at the door of the house, and the housekeeper at the door welcomed a man in. Hearing the footsteps at the door of the house, Ma Yue wondered, "Just called them to come, so fast?" ”

As soon as the person came in, Ma Yue saw that it was not Guan Yu Yan Xing, but Fu Xie.

Fu Xie smiled at Ma Yue and said: "San Lang, this Liangzhou horse is really fast, there will be no one in the court, and I can't find it." ”

Ma Yue then thought of how rude he was, and he drove to Xiyuan in his car, he was fine, and he drove home in a hurry, and forced Fu Xie to come all the way from Xiyuan, which suddenly made his face red with shame.

I forgot about Fu Xie in a hurry.

"Brother Nanrong, San Lang is so sorry, I made such a big mistake, looking at Nanrong Haihan, my heart was messed up, and I forgot everything." Ma Yue bowed to Fu Xie and said, "Brother Nanrong, I'm sorry. ”

"Okay, Nan Rong didn't blame you." Gai Xun took advantage of the time of the early dynasty to squint in the Liang Mansion for a while, and then helped Ma Yue up and said: "San Lang, you blatantly snatched this errand from Zhang Rang's hands, it is tantamount to snatching food from the mouth of a tiger." ”

As soon as he mentioned this matter, Ma Yue secretly complained to himself now, and said to Gai Xun with a bitter face: "Mr. Yuangu, I never wanted to be a master craftsman, let alone buy this official position, but His Majesty asked me to buy it, what else can I do." ”

"San Lang, you have drilled the tip of the horns, is it necessary to do this matter yourself? Supervise the construction of the palace chamber and collect wood and stone. Gai Xun said: "Since this matter has been said at the court meeting today, it is actually enough, and the eunuchs will already be more restrained, why do you have to take this on your shoulders?" ”

Fu Xie also helped persuade Ma Yue to say: "It's too much, if you take this matter on your shoulder, and then you can't do it well, my brother doesn't say that you are greedy, but what if something goes wrong, have you ever thought about what the Imperial Court Wind Council said about you?" ”

"I can't go wrong! Now that I've got my hands on it, let it be done in my hands! Ma Yue looked at Fu Xie and Gai Xun, and said word by word: "I won't, let the people of each county cut down one more tree and move one more stone!" ”

"Not the slightest, there won't be!"

In his words, he was indescribably firm.

Gai Xun nodded slightly, reluctantly agreeing with Ma Yue's reason, but then he said softly: "Have you ever thought about the difficulties in front of you? ”

"Ugh." Speaking of difficulties, Ma Yue shook his head helplessly, "I have already seen it, His Majesty wants me to go to the West Mansion to pay the money, where can I get two thousand gold to buy such a master craftsman!" As he spoke, Ma Yue pointed to the accounts placed on the several cases in the pavilion and said: "Even if my brother made some money by selling horses some time ago and gave me three hundred gold, all my money is added together and the rest is only more than twenty gold, even if I add the rewards from the battlefield, I still can't even make up half of it. ”

Now it was Gai Xun and Fu Xie's turn to be surprised, surprised that Ma Yue's wealth composition was so simple, to buy rewards, rewards, and sell horses. But what surprised them even more was that Ma Yue was unwilling to give up his idea in this situation.

"Three, San Lang, it's good that you want to ask for your life for the people, but your life has already been requested, why do you have to waste your family money for this?" Fu Xie asked: "How you spend your money is your business, but have you thought about it, you gather the generals, everyone will take the money to buy you this official position, not to mention your reputation, how will you live in your house?" Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming again, you don't need money for food and clothing at home? ”

Ma Yue was in a dilemma, on the one hand, he really wanted to do this thing well, and on the other hand, he didn't want to drag the people around him to live a good life because of his own ideas.

They followed him, served him as their lord, and died for him, because he had the ability to make his brothers live a good life. In the past, the ranger swordsman outlaw is now either a soldier or a general, so more people are willing to follow him, and even the city gate of Luoyang is willing to fight with him.

If he dragged his brothers back to their former poverty, would he still be able to?

At this moment, Ma Yu led the three reins and walked into the hospital with Guan Yuyan.

As soon as Yan Xing saw Ma Yue, he shouted in a broken voice: "Lord, Elder Brother Yun and I are back!" ”
