Chapter 124 Honours and Economic Warfare


Standing on the temporary wooden platform, the captive soldiers below no longer looked cautious this time, but looked vaguely excited.

No one else, just because the young master is holding a merit ceremony today.

Looking at the dark crowd in the audience, Ma Chao, the decadent little technician in his previous life, didn't even have the slightest trace of panic.

He unhurriedly took out a round cake-shaped medal plate, which was specially made by the forging house.

The four strong Chinese characters of "Ma Family Elite" were engraved on the front.

"Xiao Tian, ​​in this battle, he went deep into the enemy's territory alone.

He was clever and skillful.

He deceived the candidates to attack and opened the three city gates internally and externally.

He made great contributions to this battle.

He was promoted to two levels in a row and entered the military training management training.

After graduation, he will immediately He was appointed as the Chief of the Guards and was awarded a bronze Ma Family Elite Medal.

All officers at the same level should salute him as a sign of respect."

Ma Chao's loud voice sounded and he said generously: "Xiao Tian, ​​come on stage to award the medal."

As soon as Ma Chao finished speaking, Xiao Tian, ​​who was in a trance as if in a dream, trembled with excitement and walked onto the stage in a panic.

Ma Chao stepped forward to support Xiao Tian's still shaky figure, straightened Xiao Tian's clothes, and solemnly pinned the bronze medal of "Ma Family Elite" on Xiao Tian's chest.

Seeing the mighty and alert man shy in front of the ridiculously handsome Ma Chao, the soldiers present felt a little funny, but then a feeling of loss arose from the bottom of their hearts: The young master will personally award the medal. , this kind of glory, why doesn’t it belong to you?

Xiao Tian was at a loss and endured it blankly.

Ma Chao pulled Xiao Tian and turned around to face the audience, and solemnly saluted Xiao Tian with a military salute.

But at this time, Xiao Tian, ​​who was more than capable of dealing with the enemy, panicked, his whole body trembling with excitement, but he didn't know what to do.

Finally, under the signal from Ma Chao's eyes, he returned the military salute with great excitement.

After that, Ma Chao suddenly raised Xiao Tian's arm and shouted: "Xiao Tian, ​​the elite of the Ma family" After a brief period of silence, shouts of "Xiao Tian", "Elite of the Ma Family", "Long Live Young Master", etc. came one after another, and the audience was filled with deafening shouts.

After that, other soldiers who had made military exploits came up to the stage to receive their awards one by one.

They were all so excited that they couldn't find their way to the north.

However, the award recipients this time were not Ma Chao, but Pang De and Chou Ge.

The medals awarded are also made of black iron.

Afterwards, after listening to Han Feng's explanation, the soldiers realized that not all medals were made of bronze.

Based on the level of military merit, the young master specially formulated medals of different grades in four metals: gold, silver, copper, and iron.

Soldiers with medals show that the Ma family appreciates the blood and merits of the soldiers for the battle.

Soldiers with medals are more distinguished among their peers and enjoy higher benefits.

As a result, the soldiers have a clear understanding of their military exploits, which further motivates them to strive for higher military exploits.

The counselors below who were attending as guests could not help but admire Ma Chao when they saw that he had used such a small means to win over the military morale of tens of thousands of men under his command.

The days that followed were uneventful, except for Xinping County where something was not good.

According to the information sent by the shadows, Xinping County had just ended the turmoil, but was faced with a crisis from the Eastern Qiang soldiers Chen Jing.

War was imminent and people were panicked.

Suddenly, the price of food in the county skyrocketed, with a stone of corn selling for four thousand yuan, and various daily necessities such as cloth, oil, salt, etc. also rose accordingly.

This gave Ma Chao and others a huge headache, and they had to fight an economic battle on an invisible battlefield with swords and guns, and spare their energy to deal with this economic crisis caused by panic.

In fact, according to Ma Chao's investigation, the situation is not as bad as imagined.

There are quite a few wealthy families in Xinping County.

Most of them have enough food stockpiles, and Ma Chao also controls the large granary in Fufeng County.

Beyond that, the end of summer is here and the fall harvest is just around the corner.

In the short term, Xinping County is not worried about lack of food.

The current crisis is just people panicking on their own, allowing wealthy households to hoard food and add fuel to the fire.

Although Ma Chao has not formally taken over Xinping County, he has acted very tough in this crisis.

It can be described as iron-blooded.

In fact, Ma Chao and his subordinates are also quite angry about this: We people are fighting for our lives.

Death is the only way to stabilize the situation in Xinping County.

You guys, these black-hearted big guys still want to hold you back and make huge profits.

You are simply impatient with life.

Ma Chao wondered, do these people think their heads will be tougher than machetes?

Since you won't make things easier for the people, don't even think about it.

After a period of discussion, Zhang Ji and Meng Da respectively attracted some wavering people from the wealthy households. sent, and immediately began martial law throughout the city.

After that, a large number of Xiliang cavalry immediately rushed into various wealthy families and arrested the whole family of these guys.

After some intimidation and threats, the price of rice slowly stabilized with everyone's efforts.

At the same time, under the overall planning of Yang Fu, Fufeng , Beidi's grain was also transported into Xinping County in batches in a planned manner, which stabilized people's hearts to a certain extent.

As a result, the Ma family's momentum in Xinping County has increased to a higher level, and they are almost swearing allegiance to the Ma family.

However, there was still no reply from the imperial court, and Ma Chao did not know whether his doing so would offend Dong Zhuo.

However, everything was done, so Ma Chao just let it go.

The worst case scenario was to raise the banner of anti-Dong and unite with the Dong Qiang tribe to fight against Dong Zhuo.

It was expected that Dong Zhuo would not be able to bear it in a hurry.

After this incident, Ma Chao's thoughts were all focused on the economic development of Fufeng County.

On the one hand, he ran to the Ma family's arsenal more frequently, and on the other hand, he hurriedly went to see how the new crops were growing.

During this period, Cai Yong and Yun'er also accompanied him, and their relationship improved a lot.

In addition, Ma Chao is most concerned about Han Sui's movements.

According to reliable information, Han Sui will come to Fufeng County in three days to hold talks with the Ma family.

Regarding this meeting, Ma Chao actually had confidence in his heart.

It was nothing more than hello to me and hello to everyone.

We knew each other well and no longer made trouble in secret.

By the way, you can also take your daughter and your beloved general back.

However, these two people have been eating and drinking here for free for so many days, so you have to be kind.

During this period, the old guy Hua Tuo approached Ma Chao once and said that the medical center was almost established and the staff was basically in place.

The only thing missing was the first batch of students.

However, Ma Chao did not strongly support the students' enrollment promotion.

Instead, he asked Hua Tuo to establish a research institute to help him research a drug.

A drug that causes animals to go into heat: As the Ma family army continues to grow, there are more and more men who are skilled in bow and horse.

It is a waste of resources to use them as infantry.

But the birth rate of war horses in Ma's Ranch is too low.

In desperation, Ma Chao had no choice but to make this move.

But Ma Chao never imagined that his reputation would be ruined by a small bottle of medicine.

This matter, regarding the peace talks with Han Sui, the surrender of the two counties, and Ma Jiajun's future policies and strategies, etc. have had some minor impacts. s: Brother Chou, Uncle Ashishi, you two are having sex, why don’t you say hello in advance.

This will happen without the knowledge of gods or ghosts, and it will cause great pain:
