Hearing Hua Xiong's words, Liu Mastiff smiled and said, "Thank you Uncle Hua for your help!" There will be such a day! Ma Jun was even more puzzled in his heart, looking at the prince's appearance, it didn't look like a naughty smile, he was telling the truth just now? ? Moreover, he really thinks Hua Xiong can help him?

He thinks that if he wants to create such a prosperous world, the most important thing is to have fewer people like Huaxiong and more wise people.

The three of them chatted for a while, Ma Jun looked at Hua Xiong, as if he remembered something, he asked the two to wait first, he entered the inner courtyard, not long after, he actually took a strange musical instrument out, Hua Xiong didn't know what this thing was, it seemed to be a circle with iron sheets, leaving a hole, somewhat similar to the instrument, Liu Mastiff also frowned, I don't know what this is, Ma Jun said: "I heard that the captain and the military academy are taught, this thing must be of great use, this is made by the craftsmen under my command, you can amplify the words!" ”

Hua Xiong smiled disdainfully and said, "Can you amplify the human voice??" Is this meant to be put on the lips? ”

Ma Jun saw that Hua Xiong didn't believe it, but he also smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Hua Jun, come, get closer...", Hua Xiong approached him, looking at the thing in his hand, isn't this just a bell that went to the top? He was thinking about it, but Ma Jun put this thing to his mouth, aimed at Hua Xiong's ear, and suddenly it was a hehe, Hua Xiong trembled, covered his ears and jumped away, his eyes widened, looked at the thing in Ma Jun's hand, grinned, and said: "Good, great good, come and see with me!" ”

He didn't wait for Ma Jun to agree, so he snatched it from his hand and looked at it carefully.

Liu Mastiff was also a little surprised, the two looked at it for a moment, and then Hua Xiong said helplessly: "You have this thing, why didn't you give it to me earlier, but you have to take it out now, do you know that these days, I have been yelling and teaching with students all day long, and I almost lost my voice..."

"I didn't know that the general had such ambitions, but now that I know, how can I hide them privately?"

"Hahaha!" Hua Xiong was very happy when he heard this, laughed, held Ma Jun's hand, and said, "I misjudged you, you are also a real hero!" Ma Junlian said that he was overblown, and then added: "This thing costs 500 yuan, and if you are so familiar with the general, you will charge the general 300 yuan!" ”

Hua Xiong thought about it, he could be regarded as taking advantage, nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll let someone send the money later!" ”

Ma Jun smiled and nodded, the three of them were chatting, and suddenly heard a burst of thunder in the inner courtyard, deafening, Liu Mastiff and Hua Xiong were startled, Hua Xiong's eyes widened, and asked, "Are you still making thunder??" Ma Jun shook his head and said, "It's just some things from Fang Shi, and I haven't figured it out yet, so it's inconvenient to tell me..."

Hua Xiong nodded blankly, looked at Ma Jun's eyes, but became a little awe-inspired, and did not continue to ask, said goodbye to Ma Jun, and left this strange place. ”

"Huh?! Why did my uncle say that?? ”

"You see that he behaves strangely, and he can make thunder, maybe it will rain..."Hua Xiong said, there was some fear on his face, Liu Mastiff shook his head, and said: "Things in the world are strange, you can't say so...", Hua Xiong was a little scared.

This is not to blame him, within the Han Dynasty, the Liangzhou people's respect for ghosts and gods, and even their attitude towards these things, is completely different from other regions, they are very respectful of gods, and believe in these gods and monsters, many Liangzhou generals in the southern army, have raised Fangshi in the house, before the battle, will let Fangshi to divinate for them....

The same is true of Hua Xiong, an authentic Liangzhou person, of course, he doesn't raise a monk, but he still believes in these, just like he has always believed in the kingdom of heaven, he thinks that after everyone dies, they will go there, and the original old brothers, including Yuan Shu and Dong Zhuo, will be there to greet him.

Liu Mastiff didn't say anything more, he was still thinking about the things about those poor people in his heart, and he looked a little worried, but it was somewhat similar to the time when Hua Xiong had just arrived, the two went back like this, Ma Jun stood at the door, watching them leave, the craftsman on the side wanted to speak, but he didn't know how to speak, he seemed a little entangled, Ma Jun saw his strangeness, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Ma Gong, this repeating crossbow costs only more than 500 yuan... We sold it for two thousand dollars, or gave it to the prince, if he found out, I was afraid..."

"What is this, they have it, but I did it myself, isn't my craftsmanship worth the price? It's okay, you just go about yourself..."

Hua Xiong said goodbye to the prince halfway and left, he held a repeating crossbow, and left with great interest, still muttering who is afraid of whom and other incomprehensible words, Liu Mastiff is all the way back to the East Palace, the frame arrived in front of the East Palace, but saw a person lying in front of the East Palace Gate, pillowing his hands, falling asleep, Liu Mastiff was shocked, and hurriedly got out of the car to see, but this person was Pang Tong, Pang Tong was lying at the door of the East Palace, and fell asleep.

From him, there was a strong smell of wine, the pungent smell was really unpleasant, and the soldiers on the side saw that the prince was back, and said helplessly: "Your Highness, Pang Jun came drunk a few days ago, and wanted to enter the East Palace to meet His Highness, but we had no choice but to stop him, he was lying here again, unwilling to get up...", these soldiers were also helpless against this subordinate official of the East Palace.

Liu Mastiff hasn't opened his mouth yet, Cao Pi on the side is furious, Pang Tong's relationship with them is already bad, and now it is still this attitude, Cao Pi said: "Your Highness, please let me lead someone to beat this mess out of the stick, and sleep in front of the East Palace, this is an insult to His Royal Highness the Prince!" This guy has lost the face of the East Palace, and I hope His Royal Highness will punish him severely!! ”

Liu Mastiff sighed and said: "Forget it, if you want to punish him severely, you have to wait for him to wake up and carry him into the palace...", Cao Pi had no way to refuse, so he asked the soldiers to carry him in, and he couldn't let him sleep here all the time, Liu Mastiff also walked in, and ordered the soldiers to settle Pang Tong, and Liu Mastiff also entered the study and wrote a recital, which was written to the Son of Heaven, which was naturally about the poor people he saw today.

He was writing, and after a while, there was a knock outside the door, "Come in!" Liu Mastiff said, it was Pang Tong who came in, Pang Tong's face was still a little red, the whole person was not completely awake, seeing the prince in front of him, he still wanted to bow and worship, but he almost fell to the ground.

"Hey, why does Pang Jun eat so much wine... Hurry up and go back and rest..."Liu Mastiff said helplessly, Pang Tong shook his head, sat in front of the prince, looked at Liu Mastiff, and asked suspiciously: "Your Highness, I don't eat wine, what can I do?" Before the prince could speak, he continued: "All the things I need to do, the young master arranged before leaving..."

"Everything is done by the young master, I can only eat and drink, occasionally praise the young master, and now that the young master is not here, I can't praise him anymore, so I went to eat and drink... The huge East Palace is all mediocre, Your Highness, you see, if there is no young master, what can we do? ? I can't do anything!! I think it's enough to have a young master in the East Palace!! ”

Hearing Pang Tong's words, Liu Mastiff still didn't understand what he meant, Liu Mastiff was silent for a long time, looked at Pang Tong, and asked, "Jun, I have something I don't understand, Jun may solve my confusion?" ”

Pang Tong seemed to wake up at this moment, his eyes were bright, he looked at Liu Mastiff, and said with a smile: "I have been waiting for His Highness's words for a long time, in this East Palace, if it weren't for him Zhuge Liang, nothing could be done, and no problems could be solved... What is the matter, your Highness commands! ”

"I'm going to Jiangzuofu today...."Liu Mastiff told what he saw and heard in Ma Jun, and said with some sorrow: "I heard that there are countless poor people in this world, I thought that in today's prosperous world, I don't know that there is such a situation...", listening to Liu Mastiff said, Pang Tong nodded, and he said with a smile: "Your Highness, today is indeed a prosperous age.....

"The prosperous era is not how good the life of the people at the bottom is, but how strong the country is. Pang Tong asked rhetorically.

"This..."

"Hahaha, the world all thinks that filial piety is the great prosperity of the Han Dynasty, but I don't know that the people in the Xiaowen period are actually richer, why is this? It's easy to understand, after all, it's not the prosperous era, and it's not the people who have the final say, or the hundred officials, the Son of Heaven has the final say, they live well, and naturally it's the prosperous age..."Pang Tong smiled and said: "The minister's drunken words, I hope His Royal Highness is not strange...."

Liu Mastiff shook his head, didn't say anything, and asked, "Then how to make the people rich?" Pang Tong said: "There are many ways, in my filial piety, such as cultivating cultivated land and reducing taxes, can make the people rich, but ah, the more people are born, most of the land is divided with the elders, it all depends on whether the elder brother can be benevolent and righteous...."

"However, even if he is benevolent, this cultivated land will be divided between and less, and sooner or later more people will be like them..."

"What did Pang Jun see??"

"The method I think is very simple, but I don't know if His Highness can agree...."Pang Tong said, looked at the prince, and said, "Your Highness knows about spinning machines??" ”

"Naturally, I know, this is what the horse will do..."

"That's right, and Ma Jiangzuo will definitely make more things, this thing, I think, can change a lot of things, Your Highness has ever thought of building a mansion in one place, and placing thousands of such spinning machines in the mansion, so that the remnants of the family can come here to work, and give food and money for the rest of the month... Then the woven cloth is sold and plugged out... Fill it up...."

Hearing Pang Tong's words, Liu Mastiff was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Jun wants me to learn from local heroes??? ”

What Pang Tong said is very similar to what the local Haoqiang did, the Haoqiang established large-scale cultivated land such as tea and herbs in some areas, let the farmers practice and make for them, and then dumped these to various places to obtain a lot of profits, such an act has always been opposed by the ministers, which is an act of delaying agriculture and mulberry and is detrimental to the national body of the Han Dynasty.

"That's right, if I am asked to be Situ, I will cultivate Haoqiang in various places, let them mobilize the people to make iron, open mines, make tea, herbs, and even textiles, let them give these people money and food fixedly, so that they can live, and at the same time enrich the treasury of the Han Dynasty... The more money they have, the more taxes they pay..."

"Supporting these new heroes is the way out for the big man!!!"

Liu Mastiff's eyes widened, and he was stunned for a long time before he said, "Pang Jun is drunk.... Let's go back and rest soon....."
