"Xiahou Jie, you immediately take my handwritten book, hurry up and go to Quanzhou, and let Battalion Commander Huang bring the brigade here!"

Ma Qiang finally chose Duan Ying's plan, just like Duan Ying said, these obscenities must be stopped, but before gaining a firm foothold, they must not be done immediately, otherwise once they can't uproot these people and the protective umbrella behind them in a short time, they will be easily counterattacked.

Xiahou Jie was younger than Zhao Yun, he took Ma Qiang's handwritten book excitedly and solemnly, and then left.

Looking at Xia Houjie's back, Ma Qiang scratched his head, he had to hurry up and find a way to fix the telegraph station, otherwise the news would be too troublesome.

"Zilong, go and inform Captain Liu, I'm going to the barracks in the afternoon to have a look!"

"No!" Zhao Yun answered outside and retreated.

Ma Qiang himself sat in his seat and began to flip through the county chronicles of the plains.

If you want to govern a place well, you must first understand the history of the place, understand the mountains and rivers of the place, and then adapt it to local conditions.

Ma Qiang looked at it, and found that the Red Eyebrow Army, which was as famous as the Green Forest Army in history, originated in Qingzhou, and it seems that the problem in Qingzhou is indeed not a year or two, but hundreds of years of accumulation.

The only thing that makes Ma Qiang happy is that there are no big scholar clans in the plain, and the Gao family's scriptures and heirlooms are basically in Ban County, while the Hua clan has just risen, not a century-old clan, but an emerging scholar clan that has come up step by step.

In the plain counties, although agriculture is prosperous, there are almost no iron mines because there are many plains and few mountains, but there are coal mines in Gaotang County.

Moreover, there is a record of black oil coming out of Gaotang County after the earthquake in the national chronicles of Pingyuan County, which makes Ma Qiang very interested.

If you guess correctly, this black oil is oil, Ma Qiang knows that the Shengli Oilfield is in Shandong, but he doesn't know the specific location, now it seems that this Gaotang County is probably one of the Shengli Oilfields in later generations.

Oil is a good thing, not to mention what internal combustion engines are, with oil it is possible to light up the chemical technology line.

However, the difficulty of the chemical technology line is too high, and Ma Qiang didn't think that he could light him up in a short time, but at least burning oil doesn't require any skill points, whether it is a weapon or a power station in the future, oil can be used.

After Ma Qiang made a note of the incident, he put it aside.

There is no rush in this matter.

"Prime Minister, the Marquis of the country asks to see you!" Huang Xu came in to report.

"Oh, let him in."

After a while, Hou Ba took off his shoes outside the door and walked in, Ma Qiang waved him to sit down, and then asked, "Today is Mu Ri, what is the important matter for Hou Guocheng to come?" ”

The Han Dynasty also had a vacation system, because most of the officials in ancient times lived in the government and could not go home, so the "Han Law" stipulated: "The officials have a rest on five days, and they return to their relatives after bathing." ”

In addition to such a weekend-like system, the Han Dynasty also had a holiday and leave system, and the leave was generally for the low-level officials to go back to help when they were busy with farming.

Hou Ba said after the salute, "Prime Minister of State, a few days later is February 12th, it is the time of the sacrifice, I don't know how the Minister of State is going to arrange?" ”

"Zuo Chuan" said that the major events of the country, in the worship and Rong, it can be seen that the status of sacrifice in the hearts of the ancients, once the sacrifice is neglected, the people will worry about natural disasters and man-made disasters, and even once any natural disasters and man-made disasters occur, they will also be attributed to the imperial court did not sacrifice properly.

Although Ma Qiang does not believe in this kind of sacrifice, he follows the customs of the locals and has no opinions.

"How have it been in previous years?"

"The Royal System" said: The Son of Heaven is too strong, and the princes are all too fast, and the sheep and pigs should be prepared for sacrifice."

Of course, this sacrificial standard is not about Ma Qiang, but about Liu Shuo, the king of the plains.

"Then continue this standard, the etiquette can't be messed up!" Ma Qiang also knew that the ancient times were sensitive to this kind of sacrificial standard, whether it was more or less, it was a big problem that could be put on the line.

"No! In addition, people will worship on their own on the day, can the curfew be lifted? ”

Ma Qiang suddenly understood the true purpose of this Hou Ba's coming, it turned out that he came to explore the path for those wishing witches.

Well, you can't think so badly of others, in case you want to test whether you are willing to rectify this unhealthy trend.

You test me, and I will test you!

"Shouldn't the sacrifice be made during the day? It's not the Shangyuan Festival, I heard that Taishan thieves often go down the mountain to harass, or be careful! By the way, who is the organization of this folk sacrifice, don't mess with the etiquette! ”

Hou Ba immediately replied, "It's all organized by the wealthy families in various places, and the local officials will cooperate with the supervision, and they won't be courteous!" ”

"Well, the sacrifice is sincere, and now that the treasury is empty, you must not be extravagant, you must be frugal!"

"The minister of the country is worried about the court, and he is really a national soldier! The government will certainly not cost much. ”

Ma Qiang frowned, these ancient old foxes....

Ma Qiang and Hou Ba tested each other for a long time, but neither side could figure out the bottom line of the other party, and Ma Qiang didn't bother to continue to talk to him, so he waved him down to arrange, and continued to study the county chronicles.

- Yellow River

On the Yellow River, a flotilla is approaching the plain.

On the boat, a man in his mid-thirties was looking at a book.

"Mengde, the Plains Country is almost here, let's dock here and go to Jinan!" Cao Hong walked into the cabin with a teenager and said.

"Well, the prime minister of the Plains Country is now Ma Qiang, and the Plains Country is adjacent to my Jinan Country, so it's good to meet him." Cao Cao put the scroll away, then looked at the young man and said with a smile, "Ang'er, tell me, why did my father go to see Prime Minister Ema?" ”

Cao Ang was about ten years old at this time, and he was Cao Cao's only son, and Cao Cao brought him to take office this time in the hope of exercising Cao Ang's ability.

Cao Cao unknowingly reached the age of thirty, in the second century AD, thirty years old is already the second half of many people's lives, after all, the normal life expectancy of ordinary people at this time is only about fifty years old.

Therefore, Cao Cao began to gradually restrain the heroic spirit of his youth and frivolity, and began to deliberately cultivate his own offspring, or, this is the sign of every man's true maturity.

Cao Ang thought for a while, and then said, "Daddy is the same as the prime minister of Equestria, they are promoted by military merit, so they are naturally close, and the child also heard that this equestrian minister is very young, and he will have courage when he is young, and his father will also have courage, and his father and the prime minister will definitely be able to come up with a good national policy to change the two countries." ”

"Oh? What national focus? ”

"The child doesn't know, but the child thinks that it is a good national policy to make the people have enough to eat!"

Cao Cao stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Zilian, what do you think of Wu'er?" ”

"Better than me anyway!" Cao Hong touched Cao Ang's head with a smile and said, "I think our Cao family will have a third prince in the future!" ”

Cao Ang bowed his head and smirked a little shyly, Cao Cao squinted his eyes and said, "Don't be proud, see more and think more, talk less and move less, Zilian, when you arrive in Pingyuan Country, you will dock, and then send someone to report to Ma Pingyuan, don't lose your manners." ”

"Don't worry, I know!"
