Chapter 232: A Penny Brings Down a Hero
Ma Chao bought Wu Fan's life in Wuchenyue's hands, but he didn't have 100,000 taels of silver in his hands. One hundred thousand taels of silver may seem simple to say, but it is a huge number. At that time, Ma Chao bought 400 Dawen in the countryside in two thatched houses.
The money of the Southern Song Dynasty was about the same as that of the Jin Kingdom, that is, the place where the peasants lived, and it was only worth half a tael of silver. 100,000 taels of snowflake silver can create a city. If it weren't for Ma Chao giving Zhou Shang's embezzled silver to Meishanzhai, maybe those silver would be enough. But Ma Chao doesn't regret it, this thing is one yard at a time, if there are consequences when things are done, they have to carry it themselves, regretting and complaining that it is not what a real man should do.
Ma Chao and Nameless returned to Tanzhou, Nameless was not in a very good mood, Ma Chao told some jokes to Nameless, Nameless occasionally laughed, but still didn't think about it. She knew how heavy the burden of the Miao people was, and she didn't complain about her mother, but she didn't know how to help her.
Returning to Tanzhou, Xin Qiji specially set up a banquet to reward Ma Chao, and Ma Chao's method played a great role in this famine. At the wine table, between talking and laughing, Xin Qiji was also ready to fulfill his promise.
The Flying Tiger Army began to be established.
But in the process of establishing the Flying Tiger Army, Xin Qiji only greeted the above, and he had to figure out how to find this money by himself.
Originally, Xin Qiji was ready to pay for the establishment of the Flying Tiger Army, but after Ma Chao said that he was a future person, Xin Qiji decided to give up the Flying Tiger Army to Ma Chao.
The foundation of the Flying Tiger Army is, of course, the Flying Tiger Village and the original tea merchant army. The two teams combined, a total of 1,500 people, as a regular army, this number is not enough, Xin Qiji used his own experience to ask Ma Chao to recruit 1,000 soldiers.
It costs money to recruit soldiers, it costs money to raise soldiers, it costs money to build barracks, and before that, it costs money to deal with the enemy.
Since Ma Chao came into contact with the army, he has become a poor bastard and has been constrained everywhere.
Drinking with Xin Qiji, it's a very happy thing, but Ma Chao can't be happy, because the ideal is good, but he doesn't have the money to realize this ideal.
……
After a few days, Ma Chao racked his brains to make some technological products to change the world and get rich overnight. But Ma Chao found that he could come up with countless things, but very few could really be realized in ancient times.
really responded to that sentence, learn mathematics, physics and chemistry, and be not afraid to go all over the world. It's a pity that Ma Chao studied veterinary medicine, and there is nothing that this discipline can create?
At this moment, Wang Wu came back, and with him came Ma Chao's eldest wife Wang Ziwei and concubine Mo Yu.
After they married Ma Chao, they didn't even have a cave room, and Ma Chao was taken to Xiangtan by the fifth aunt. They heard that Ma Chao is quite stable now, and he is still stable in fighting and killing among bandits.
In fact, the eldest lady doesn't care about this, she just doesn't want to, when she was herding horses on the grassland and became a black ball, Ma Chao already had a harem of three thousand.
After meeting, the eldest lady gave Ma Chao a slap, and then hugged Ma Chao and cried. Mo Yu still has that gentle and graceful appearance, but it is also happy with tears in her eyes. Starting from this slap, Ma Chao began his official life of three wives and four concubines.
This requires Ma Chao to buy a village in Tanzhou, and he marries these beauties home, of course, not to be a servant for himself, and he can't treat these people who love him badly.
At this time, Ma Chao began to think about Mr. Stink, this guy who can make money, has already believed it back. It will be two months before they will return, and they will bring back three thousand horses.
Ma Chao wanted to get through this difficult period by himself, and one day he saw two dogs running out of a mansion compound, and the two servants ran out of it in a panic and carefully held the dogs.
Ma Chao suddenly understood one thing, this ancient man not only raised horses, but also pets. (To be continued.) )
