When Meng Da sent the latest financial statements to Ma Chao, he specifically pointed out the cost of the return ceremony with a look of sadness on his face.
And Ma Chao was also surprised: "A face-saving project, so expensive, it actually cost two hundred gold."
Seeing Ma Chao's surprised and reluctant look, Meng Da felt that he felt better: it seemed that the master was in charge, and he knew that firewood and rice were expensive.
The next words made Meng Da want to cry for father and mother.
"Yes, although it cost a little more, it's definitely worth it.
Meng Da and Zhang Ji, you two have done a good job.
Each of you will receive two guans as bonus."
Since Zhang has a big heart, he feels comfortable working in the Ma family.
When there is nothing wrong, the master never looks for trouble.
And when something happens, as long as you risk your life and move forward, the rewards afterwards will be extra wages such as bonuses.
Zhang Ji has already received it twice, and every time he gets it, it feels like nothing.
It's just a surprise brought by the amount of bonus: this is the lord's respect.
Meng Da's face was very interesting.
He was obviously very happy to receive the bonus.
And paying money from his own finance department made him feel very distressed: This feeling of pain and pleasure really made him struggle every time.
In the end, for the long-term peace and stability of the Ma family and to fulfill his duties faithfully, Meng Da said cruelly: "Lord, I still don't want my bonus.
After all, the Ma family's finances are not tight now."
When he said this, Meng Da's tone was very low, and he felt a little against his will: This feeling of being unable to live with money would be painful for anyone else.
Ma Chao was also stunned.
After staring at Meng Da's eyes carefully for a while, he smiled happily.
Beside him, Jia Xu, Fazheng and Yang Fu, the three of them also pursed their lips without any trace: This Meng Da is really a wonderful person.
It’s really hard to laugh at how entangled it is at the Lord’s expense.
"Zidu.
Since my lord has a reward, you should go and get it.
If what I expected is true, Han Sui has already sent us a lot of property.
It will definitely exceed the cost."
Jia Xu stroked his Goatee, I still feel more at ease returning to Fufeng: "Do you think that my lord is the kind of person who loves great achievements and makes a grand return this time?
I just want to show Han Sui how supportive the people are under the rule of the Ma family, and how powerful the Ma family's military is.
Such a psychological shock is enough to make us Have more leverage in negotiations” When Meng Da heard what Jia Xu said, the way he looked at Ma Chao suddenly changed.
What was even more surprising was that Yang Fu went on to say: "Brother Zidu.
Don't let the lord blind you.
The lord knows a lot about this ceremony.
In addition to Han Sui from Liangzhou and Zhang Lu from Hanzhong, he also Has an envoy arrived?"
Next words.
There was no need for Yang Fu to explain it so clearly, but Meng Da slapped his forehead: "No, the person responsible for receiving these two people is still my father, Meng Ta.
Why didn't I connect the two things?"
Ma Chao looked at the explanations of the two men and nodded slightly.
After returning the financial statement to Meng Da.
Then he said: "There is actually another factor behind why I did this.
I don't know if any of you can guess it."
Jia Xu and Yang Fu looked at each other, obviously having guessed.
I just don't want to show off anymore, but that kid Fazheng isn't that sophisticated yet.
He rushed to say: "Recruit soldiers."
"Yes, we are recruiting troops."
Ma Chao was overjoyed and told everyone what he had in mind: "The Ma family has now unified Yongzhou in addition to Jingzhao and Fengyi counties, and has a standing army of 30,000 under its control, which can be used to quake the enemy."

Drink the princes and plug The foreign troops are already somewhat weak.
Therefore, the recruitment of troops is imminent.
Moreover, the stronger the Ma family army behind me will be, the more Dong Zhuo will be afraid of me, and my life and fortune will be safer."
"So, this grand return ceremony must not only be held, but also be so grand.
By the way, tomorrow's investiture ceremony will also be more grand according to the letter before I came back, and it will be announced on the list, making the whole city All the common people know that the Majia Military Camp will be open to the common people tomorrow.
If the common people are interested in entering the camp to watch," "Lord, today is just a city gate and street, so more than a thousand county soldiers have been sent out to maintain order.
If the people are allowed to go to the military camp, I'm afraid."
Sure enough, everyone was performing their duties.
Zhang Ji did not consider the benefits of Ma Chao's recruitment at all, but Think about your own security issues first.
"Hahaha, Commander Zhang is joking."
Pang De laughed kindly and said, "Master De Rong, please don't forget that the people are going to the military camp.
Except for those decorated soldiers, there are tens of thousands of soldiers left.
How can we let accidents happen to the people?"
Zhang laughed after hearing this and said to Pang De: "I am in a daze.
It makes me laugh.
It makes me laugh.
However, I am afraid that General Huang will be troubled today and tomorrow.
There are many spies coming into Fufeng County today, and the Shadow Camp under his command."
Brother Chou actually returned before Ma Chao, but after receiving the order, he stationed outside the city for two days.
On the third day, he entered the city with Ma Chao and felt the enthusiasm of the people of Fufeng County.
Next was Miss Ruxue.
After learning that Brother Chou actually had the title of General Ghost Face in Fufeng County, her favorable impression of Brother Chou increased even more.
At this time, Brother Chou was still thinking about how to add fuel to the fire and completely deceive Miss Ruxue.
Hearing Zhang Ji mentioning business, his face immediately darkened and he smiled: "Don't worry, Sheriff, those people are all under my nose.
If anyone dares not to open his eyes tomorrow, we will kill him immediately."
"My Lord is wise," Yang Fu said, "If the people of Fufeng visit the Ma Jiajun's military camp tomorrow, and the benefits of the military reform have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, then this recruitment work will definitely be more effective with half the effort."
"More than just getting twice the result with half the effort, Yang Biejia didn't know.
Before this return ceremony, the recruitment center outside the military camp was also very popular.
Many children from wealthy families were proud to be soldiers and were thinking of ways to join the Ma Family Army."
Pang De rubbed his hands and said excitedly.
Yes, with Ma Chao's vigorous propaganda and generous treatment as a soldier, the young people under the Ma family are proud to join the Ma family army.
Recruitment stations are always crowded with young people who are trying to join the army.
Recruitment officers who used to be rejected everywhere and hated by everyone are now in high demand and have become popular in the eyes of the neighbors.
Many people, including some landowners and children of wealthy families, also tried their best to squeeze into the army.
To this end, they bribed the officers in charge with large sums of money, and used money and beauty in every possible way.
However, the success rate of these people is generally low, because the conditions for joining the Ma Jiajun are clearly stated in the military reform.
During the recruitment, there are also special commanders responsible for training in the later period.
If there is existing fraud, the consequences of punishment will be very serious.
Seriously, just a punishment of never being able to enter the Ma family again makes many people strictly discipline themselves to protect their own vital interests.
For more than half a year, Ma Chao has been committed to the route of elite troops.
He has reached an astonishing stage in arming the troops and spends money like water.
Sometimes Meng Da is so anxious that he even dares to fight with the young master.
Ma Chao jumped to his feet and cursed.
Therefore, for more than half a year, the Ma family's financial situation has been very annoying to support an army of 35,000 people, and there has been no expansion plan.
This will undoubtedly greatly disappoint those young people who are eager to "serve the country with loyalty."

I believe that this expanded recruitment will definitely trigger a wave of enthusiasm for joining the army and bring the Ma family's strength to a new level.
"That's great."
Ma Chao squinted his eyes and thought for a moment: He knew the reason why those children from powerful families wanted to join the army, wasn't it just to transfer all their fields to the names of the children who joined the army, and then pay less taxes?
To be honest, Ma Chao really doesn't like the three melons and jujubes of those big families now.
Besides, these big families were kept here because their character and reputation were good.
If they were extremely vicious people, they would have had their homes confiscated by Brother Chou on various charges.
"This recruitment cannot just be limited to Fufeng County.
We must recruit soldiers from the entire Yongzhou, and select good soldiers who are strong, simple, loyal, and preferably have experienced combat, and fill them into the Ma family army.
This time to expand the army, someone must expand "At this point, Ma Chao looked at Meng Da, and then said cautiously: "Expand to 50,000 conventional combat troops."
After Meng Da heard the figure of 50,000, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief: Fortunately, it was only expanded by 20,000 people.
If the master wanted to increase the number to 100,000, he would have had a big fight with him even if he was guilty. s: Around 12 o'clock, there will be a public version of July's reflections.
I hope everyone will read it.
Thank you
