The ideal is plump, but the reality is skinny.
Moreover, how full the ideal is, how skinny the reality is.
Ma Chao originally thought that he could build the first heavy cavalry and heavy infantry in the late Han Dynasty, but the fact is that according to Han Feng's account, it was equipped with all weapons and equipment, and all the craftsmen in the arsenal did not eat, drink or sleep.
It would also take two years to create 10,000 complete sets of equipment.
Not to mention, it also involves the training of soldiers and the selection of war horses.
If we could really create such a terrifying force, according to Han Feng's estimation, it would take three years.
At that moment, Ma Chao went a little crazy.
An emergency meeting was immediately held, but this time Ma Chao, who was usually amiable, changed his appearance.
Either whispering encouragement or threatening intimidation, he even enlisted military generals to refute Meng Da.
In the end, he even resorted to tricks like rolling around and messing around, acting like a devil.
It seems that if those counselors still don't agree with his spending plan, I'm afraid Ma Chao will bang the table and let the carpenters in the arsenal make a crazy roar.
Under this strong pressure, Zhang Ji first expressed his surrender, while Meng Da finally Although he only wanted to fight with Ma Chao, he had to be frightened by Ma Chao's power in the end and contribute all the hard-earned savings from Fufeng, Xinping, and Beidi counties.
As a result, the three monopoly enterprises of Ma's Ranch, Ma's Store and Ma's Arsenal first ushered in their first expansion.
Whether it is personnel, area or importance, it has all reached a level that was unimaginable in ancient times.
Along with the actions of the three companies, Ma Chao also carried out an investment promotion activity against all opinions.
No expense was spared in building an outer city around the old city of Fufeng County.
The size of the outer city was almost five times the size of the original inner city of Fufeng.
Merchants pursue profits.
After the Ma family's business quietly started to flourish earlier, a large number of merchants poured into Fufeng City.
The Ma's store also saves the cost of publicity and sales by purchasing distilled liquor, fried tea, paper and other items from here.
The jewelry, animal skins, herbs, livestock, and war horses from the Western Regions collected from the Qiang people are nearby.
Dumping in Fufeng County.
As a result, more and more businessmen regard Fufeng County as the Shanghai of the 1970s and flock to it.
As a result, they also brought special products from various states in the Han Dynasty, making Fufeng County famous and wealthy all over the world.
The large number of businessmen staying in Fufeng County also caused various service industries to quietly arise in Fufeng County.
The reason why Ma Chao built the new city was because the original old city was no longer enough, so the expansion of the new city just provided space for businessmen from various states.
In addition, This time, Ma Chao used coercion and inducement at the meeting and promulgated a series of preferential bills for investment, which made the business development speed of Fufeng, Xinping, and Beidi can only be described as crazy.
In fact, Ma Chao doesn't know much about doing business.
He only has one investment strategy, that is, anyone who purchases land and builds shops during the expansion of Fufeng City will be exempted from tax for one year, and will be taxed at one-tenth of the income after one year. tax.
Nowadays, the Han Dynasty is in constant war, and merchants have never been taken seriously, so they have always been the target of powerful landowners.
These businessmen naturally chose Fufeng County without any doubt.
Of course, if they couldn't get it, they set up shops in Xinping and Beidi counties.
Anyway, the policies of these two counties are the same as Fufeng County, except that they do not build new cities and cannot be exempted.
Just one year's taxes.
When it comes to taxes, businessmen are almost crying.
A tax rate as low as one in ten taxes is absolutely unimaginable in the era of focusing on agriculture and suppressing business.
What's more, Ma's family also promised to ensure the reasonable operation of the store.
If there is a trade dispute within the three counties, you can also complain to the Chamber of Commerce and Industry for a fair ruling.
Of course, Yongzhou, three counties away, also hopes that you will take risks.
If the transaction is successful, there will be no need to say more.
If you encounter bandits and looters, that's great.
The soldiers of the Ma's Army are worrying about improving their military merit levels.
And if you have been greatly wronged in other counties, don't worry, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry will put pressure on him in the name of the Ma family.
In fact, rumors that the Ma family had long wanted to use troops against other counties outside Yongzhou have spread throughout Yongzhou.
What's more powerful, if you are bold, have a long eye, and have a wide range of routes, it doesn't matter if you provoke other princes.

You may feel aggrieved for the time being, but when the Ma family dominates the Fourteen States in the future, well, you'd better accept your bad luck at that time, because the forces that offended you will probably have been eradicated long ago.
As for you, you have made a selfless contribution to the Ma family.
Of course, the last one is purely conjecture, and businessmen will not foolishly contribute to the Ma family.
As for the other above-mentioned promises, the Ma family kept their word one by one.
As a result, Ma Chao received pressure from all aspects, especially the opposition at the conference table.
Although those counselors were all powerful, their thinking was different from modern times.
They all believed that agriculture was the foundation of the country, and allowing businessmen to gather might lead to social instability.
Ma Chao withstood the pressure again this time and fought tooth and nail against these advisers, fighting with the Confucian scholars and performing Zhuge Liang's style in advance.
The old fox Jia Xu remained silent, while Yang Fu followed Ma Chao recently and remained neutral.
Finally, a month later, Meng Da stood in Ma Chao's camp, because he was dumbfounded when he took a month's financial income and expenditure report, and immediately blocked the mouths of those Confucian scholars.
"Money is a bastard, but if you don't have money, you can't cultivate the land and you can only starve to death.
How can you equip and equip weapons?
If you don't have money, your young master will not give you a salary from now on, or will he give you a bunch of food at the end of the year?
Let’s see if you are happy or not.”
This was Ma Chao's final speech, sonorous and powerful.
And when everyone thought that with the gold distributed every quarter, they could easily buy anything they wanted in Fufeng County, their eyes glowed golden and they stopped talking.
Since then, this investment policy has become an important part of Ma Chao's new policy and has had unimaginable effects.
For a time, salt, tea, ironware, wood, fur, medicinal materials, porcelain, silk, linen, etc. all over the country All kinds of products flocked in, and the Ma family's rule turned into a large wholesale market.
Fortunately, Ma Chao was well prepared in the early stages.
He divided the outer city of Fufeng County into many business areas.
For example, the west of the city is the medicinal materials wholesale area, so all the shops selling medicinal materials are concentrated here.
This not only facilitates market management, but also can effectively understand the flow of goods and prevent tax evasion.
Of course, it goes without saying that the inner city of Fufeng County is a large grocery store and information distribution center.
Similar to those business districts in the outer city, if you want to go shopping in Fufeng County, hey, you should train your little body first.
Spring passed and summer came again.
At this time, Ma Chao, who was already the largest trader in the late Han Dynasty, roared at Pu Yuan and Zheng Hun in the arsenal: "Young master, I spent so much effort and almost sold myself to give the arsenal to The scale has tripled, but you have only built three thousand sets of equipment for me until now."
After Zheng Hun and Pu Yuan heard this, their faces turned red.
They truly felt that they were a little sorry for the young master. s: The update is completed today.
I sincerely thank Chou Ge, Han Dong and Fang Ge for giving me the final glory.
I sincerely thank:
