Chapter 407: The King's Grandfather on a Horse
Chapter 407: The King's Grandfather Riding a Big Horse
……………………………………
Whether he needs steel or weapons, Ma Teng first needs money, and the unexpected benefit that Liu Hanshao prepared for him is to show him a way to make a fortune.
Cotton.
That place in NSW is so good for growing cotton!
Tell Ma Teng that the people under his rule will all grow cotton, and we will harvest as much as we want. We also want wine, and we want as much wine as we want. It is also possible to buy some camels without alerting him......
In the same way, in addition to buying their things, we can also sell them things, after the opening of the trade route, our silk, porcelain, and fresh objects such as pendulum clocks will definitely be robbed by the original rich people in New South Wales......
This not only prospers the trade between Xinzhou and the Central Plains, so that the people gradually become rich, but also makes Ma Teng's dependence on us more and more, more and more heavy.
Xi Zhicai asked: "Han Shao wants to use Guan Zhong's plan to buy Chu Huolu?" ”
Liu Hanshao had heard this allusion, that is, Guan Zhong made a move to Qi Huan Gong to buy the deer of Chu at a high price, and after some hype, let the people of Chu go to catch deer to sell, delaying the agricultural time, and Qi secretly bought and hoarded the grain of Chu. Then the State of Qi attacked Chu, the State of Chu was short of food, and wanted to go out to buy some, but the road was blocked by the State of Qi, and then the State of Chu was dumbfounded.
And the method that Liu Hanshao has come up with now looks similar to Guan Zhong's "Buying Chu Live Deer", but there are still differences.
First, the strength of the Qi State and the Chu State was about the same, and the Xingchu State may be stronger, but now how can Xinzhou compare with the Central Plains? If you really break away from the Han and lose your shelter, you can only be a poor baby who is bullied by others.
Second, the battle of Qi and Chu is to compete for the position of overlord, as long as the other party admits cowardice and admits that he is the second. Liu Hanshao came from later generations, and his sense of sovereignty and territorial concept was very important, and he was bound to bring Xinzhou under the rule of the Han Dynasty and never repeat it.
Third, due to the second reason, it is impossible for Liu Hanshao to treat the people of Xinzhou as enemies, but the prerequisite is to make them identify with the Han Dynasty and the fact that they are Han people.
Therefore, teaching them how to get rich and live a good life is only the first step, and the next step is to teach Ma Teng how to use the method of sand picking.
Aren't you short of troops?
You can mix the soldiers of those countries that you have taken together, let them open their eyes and see that they are surrounded by foreigners, and then train and manage them with effective henchmen, so that they are afraid that there will be no soldiers in their hands?
And most importantly, for those people to truly surrender to you, you have to make them feel culturally identified with you. Therefore, it is necessary to teach them to speak more refined words and learn Chinese simplified characters. You can tell them that whoever speaks well and writes well in Chinese can make whoever becomes an official and can be reused.
Also, there is one more important point. How can the small countries of Xinzhou suffer from their feudal superstitions because they are close to some large countries in the Western Regions? If they don't even believe in the gods of our Han Dynasty, can they still trust you Ma Teng?
So, it has to be changed!
It just so happens that our Han has developed a new "Harmony Dao" in recent years, which is suitable for all ages, entertaining and educational, you can learn about it.
…………
"Cultural identity!"
Such a high-end and high-grade word, even people like Gao Jie and Xi Zhicai, who have read a belly of books, have to ponder it vigorously and slowly, and hope that people like Ma Teng, who have chopped wood and hunted for half his life, can understand it?
The crux of the matter is that if Ma Teng really has the ability to convert those small countries in Xinzhou to the "Harmonious Dao", it will indeed be of great benefit to him in governing Xinzhou, however, the Holy Heavenly Venerable who believes in the "Harmonious Dao" is in front of the Han Dynasty as the Holy Son of Heaven. If Ma Teng honestly became his new state pastor, it would be fine, if he dared to think differently one day, he would have fun then......
After the support plan for Xinzhou Mu Ma Teng was agreed, Liu Han Shaofu summoned Ma Xiu to see him, first from Ma Fubo to Ma Teng, and praised the loyalty of the old Ma family, and also mentioned Wang Naohao's letter, which was regarded as selling a good job for Wang Naohao in Ma Teng, and then said that everyone was very busy, and my brother would not leave you to eat, so take the support of the imperial court and hurry back to Xinzhou.
However, something went wrong here in Matthew.
Originally, Ma Teng sent Ma Xiu to come, and he already had the consciousness of letting Ma Xiu stay in Luoyang as a proton, otherwise it would be impossible not to give some gifts when asking someone to do something, but let the king make trouble and send the horse. Moreover, Matthew was also afraid that he would be detained, so he said stupid things about asking him to send equipment to Wang Nao.
But in the past few days after arriving in Luoyang, not to mention how Sun Ce, who is responsible for the guard, has taken care of Ma Xiu, that is, Yan Dawa and Yan Siwa, as soon as they heard that they were Wang's troublesome brother-in-law, they also pretended to be like their own brother-in-law, not to mention Ma Xiu's enthusiasm. Every day, he takes turns to accompany Ma Xiu to eat, drink and have fun, and visit Luoyang City. Especially when Sun Ce led him to the Beibi Military Academy, saying this and that, he revealed pride and pride everywhere, but Ma Xiu was envious.
So...... So...... Matthew doesn't want to go!
would rather stay as a proton, and asked Liu Hanshao if he could let himself go to the Beibi Military Academy.
What's the matter, isn't there enough rice?
Brother has to use you as a proton, and let your father be more wary of your brother in vain?
Liu Han Shaoyi sternly rejected Ma Xiu's request, and said: "Your father and brother are fighting for the country, and when there is a shortage of manpower around him, my brother is unable to support the soldiers and horses, and he has already treated Shoucheng badly, how can he leave his beloved son General behind?" Baby, hurry up and go home, tell your father, the Ma family is loyal from generation to generation, as long as Shoucheng lives up to his brother, his brother will live up to Shoucheng, our monarchs and ministers will be good for generations! ”
Poor Matthew, when he comes, he doesn't want to come, he doesn't force people to come, he doesn't want to leave when he leaves, and he doesn't force people to go. You are so neat, aren't you afraid of leaving a shadow in the baby's heart?
However, when Ma Xiu left, it was also a beautiful scenery, the rewards of the emperor and empress, gifts from relatives and friends from all walks of life, from four-wheeled carriages to new pendulum clocks, plus beautiful silk, exquisite porcelain, and even woks and hot pots sent by Li Erwa, delicious pastries made by Xiao Duo and Sun Mei. Some of these things were given to his father, some were given to his sister, and some were even given to his eldest nephew to ride a big horse.
Don't think that Liu Hanshao has changed his temper and is so generous that he gave Ma Teng so many things for nothing, and he can taste whether it is sweet or not when he buys a watermelon, right? When these things are sent to Ma Teng, can the original rich people in New South Wales not be hot? Can it be rare? As long as you are tempted, you can wait for the business to come to you in the future!
Moreover, cultural identity is not only about words, language, and ghosts, but also about living habits. As soon as the wok and hot pot arrive, reach out and grab another one to try......
However, Liu Hanshao said to Ma Xiu, it doesn't matter if everything else, these bags of cotton seeds are the most precious, go back and tell your father that whether Xinzhou can be rich and strong depends on it. Later, Liu Hanshao also asked Ma Xiu to forward a private letter to Ma Teng on his behalf, which in addition to describing the feelings of the monarch and the ministers, was a booklet of "Xinzhou Strategy".
…………
Sun Ce's trip can be regarded as visiting relatives, and seeing that his father is still very good, his mother is still quite white, and his brothers are still quite bears, he is relieved, and he escorted Ma Xiu back to Liangzhou.
After arriving in Liangzhou, Wang Chao said to Ma Xiu with great sorrow: "Your Majesty does not allow me to send troops to help my father-in-law, you quickly order someone to go first, tell me about my father-in-law, and send someone to pull weapons and equipment." The order said that there were 100 crossbows, 50 bed crossbows, and 50 stone throwers. ”
Wang Naojiao was not allowed to send troops, in order to make Ma Teng feel at ease, as for letting Ma Teng bring a donkey to pull things by himself, it is estimated that it is not what the military order says, because the best thing Wang Naojiao learned from Liu Han Shao is actually ...... Stingy!
Later, when Matthew finally returned to New South Wales, the Ma Teng army and the small countries that had been recovered were all boiling. The generals looked at those heavy weapons, and their courage increased, and this thing was erected on the top of the city to see who dared to come to find trouble and death; The original princes and nobles of the small country looked at those gifts, all of which were exquisite, luxurious and noble, and there was nothing they did not want; Even ordinary soldiers, although they can't get anything, can be arrogant in front of the miscellaneous soldiers of a small country: do you see? That's what we're all about.
Looking at the Ma family's father and son, the youngest Ma Tie has temporarily changed his idol worship from Ma Chao to Ma Xiu, and Ma Xiu is also talking to Ma Tie all day long, Hu Qiba, looking like he has seen the world.
No one found out that Ma Chao, who was lonely in his heart, hated him in his heart, why didn't he let himself be a proton in the first place? Beibi Military Academy, even Ma Xiu's deflated calf has been there, but he has never been able to get it. Looking at the set of new cotton clothes that Ma Yunlu asked Ma Xiu to bring to him, and the cloak and liquor that Sun Ce gave him, I couldn't help but feel more grateful in my heart: Sister, brother, are you all okay?
After listening to Ma Xiu tell about his experience of this trip, Ma Teng was also surprised and full of emotion.
I never expected that I would become the king's troublesome father-in-law, and he had already become a grandfather! This little rabbit cub yelled at himself at the beginning, acting like a court official, and then kicked himself out with a giggle. Now if they meet again, he has to call out to his father-in-law, which can be regarded as taking advantage of him. But is Mao still unhappy for himself? Think about the name of my grandson, the king rode a big horse...... And then even more unhappy!
I never thought that in the second episode, His Majesty would trust himself so much, neither detaining protons nor sending troops out of the customs, not only did he ask for a lot of new weapons and equipment, but even gave so many additional rewards, those are all good things, worth the old money.
Especially the sentence that His Majesty asked his son to bring back: The Ma family is loyal and righteous from generation to generation, Shoucheng will live up to his brother, his brother will live up to Shoucheng, and the monarch and the minister will be together, and the generations will be good!
When I rebelled, I also saw the decline of the Han family and the rampant evil, so I took advantage of the trend, but I really didn't think about destroying the Han Dynasty. But now, he is the shepherd of a state, and His Majesty is so interesting to him...... Repeatedly pondered: the Ma family is loyal from generation to generation, and loyal from generation to generation...... How can I be a treacherous and disloyal man?
In an instant, Ma Teng almost moved himself to tears, holding the book of "Xinzhou Governance Strategy" in both hands, opened it carefully, and saw that the first page read: Destroy the country and seize the number, and change the county to the county.
