"Have you ever calculated the consumption in the past few days?"
After resting at Qinguan for a night, Ma Chao knew that he could return to Fufeng tomorrow.
Walking on a familiar yet unfamiliar road, he asked the guards around him.
"Lord, the statistics haven't been calculated yet.
Neither Meng Zhizhang nor Director Han were here, so" Pang De answered with clasped fists, a trace of shame flashing across his resolute face: Pang De had been attending the Ma Family Military Training Center.
In the military training hall, courses on statistics of grain, grass, and baggage are naturally taught.
However, although not a single soldier was injured in this dispatch, Pound, as the second-largest figure in this army, was responsible for the marching, garrisoning, outposting and other matters that were extremely trivial.
Therefore, there was no special summarizing personnel, and Pang De did not report the accurate number before arriving at Fufeng.
"But Zidu now needs to consolidate the household department, and Han Feng asked him to take care of all the Ma family's properties.
And the rest of the people also have two jobs or more."
Ma Chao sighed softly, and couldn't help but let out a sigh: "Ma There are still too few talents at home.”
"Lord, this" Just when Ma Chao was sighing, he suddenly heard someone calling him.
Looking back, it was Hua Xin who was holding an account book and was about to hand it to him.
Ma Chao took a look at Hua Xin and found that he had changed a lot in almost a year.
Of course, this doesn't mean that Hua Xin's appearance has changed a lot.
But he said that he gave Ma Chao a different feeling.
In the past, Hua Xin was pure in virtue, strict in self-discipline, and had the style of Tao Miao.
And behind this strict requirement on himself, he also has choice and pride in others.
Like all scholars, there is a trace of virtue that relies on talent and arrogance.
But now, Ma Chao saw from Hua Xin's eyes and expression that Hua Xin had a hint of loneliness and humility, and even a hint of fear.
"Well, the six arts of a gentleman are etiquette, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and numeracy."
Ma Chao carefully looked at the numbers on the account book.
They were almost the same as he had expected.
He couldn't help but admired: "Ziyu can also be regarded as the best in the six arts of Tongming." ” Ma Chao is not talking nonsense.
Although the Han Dynasty paid great attention to the Six Arts of Gentlemen, the first five arts were highly valued by scholars.
However, the number of the sixth arts was not exposed except for practical use.
Therefore, many people are highly skilled in the three arts of etiquette, music, and calligraphy, but they are only so-so in archery and martial arts.
Only in terms of numbers, ancient numbers do not simply refer to arithmetic, but to esoteric knowledge including the number of nines, yin and yang feng shui, celestial bodies, calendars, etc.
Many scholars even scorned arithmetic except for studying the yin and yang calendar. of.
After all, the eloquent academic style prevented those scholars from talking about vulgar topics such as arithmetic, accounting and tax collection at banquets.
"My lord is so impressed.
When I was in Fufeng, my subordinates carefully studied my lord's book on mathematics and benefited a lot from it.
This time I was able to calculate the consumption of these days and also used the method my lord taught me."
Hua Xin saluted, lowered his eyebrows and replied.
This move made Ma Chao interested.
After he handed the account book to Pound, he said to Hua Xin: "Ziyu, I don't care what you have been through for such a long time.
I will no longer care about my father's affairs back then.
I just want to tell you that now Ma The family is in urgent need of talent.”
Although he said this, Ma Chao also knew that during these times, Hua Xin fled to Chang'an like a mouse crossing the street, hiding in Tibet without being exposed, and finally hid in Nanyuan where the female members of the royal family lived.
It should be very sad.
A sad time.
What's more, at that time, all his family members were still in Fufeng and there was no news from him.
How could he not miss him?
A moment of loyalty and passion can indeed inspire people to have supreme courage and do something that they believe is right.
But time is a real butcher's knife.

After it wears away your courage, you will begin to doubt whether what you did in the first place was correct.
Now it seems that Hua Xin has indeed thought about it.
Therefore, he said with a longing tone: "My lord, now that I have returned to the Ma family, I should serve the Ma family.
Although my contacts are not extensive, I have a few helpful friends.
I don't know. " "Who" Ma Chao today is different from before.
He will not kidnap a few famous people at will.
Whether they are helping or helping out, as long as they are not a disservice like Cai Yong, he can accept it.
What he needs now is experienced people like Jia Xu and Xun You, or practical cadres like Yang Fu, Zhang Ji, Meng Da, You Chu, Su Ze, and even Fu Xun, Fu Qian, Yin Feng, A county-level talent like Zhao Ang can do it.
But he really looked down on those so-called celebrities with good moral character.
"When Xin first traveled to study, he had made good friends with Guan Ning and Bing Yuan.
These two people were noble and peaceful, and they were on the right track.
They had outstanding virtues and had no parallels in the world.
Although they took refuge in Liaodong, they longed to return home in the morning and evening.
If my lord is willing, A subordinate wrote a letter stating that these two people will come to seek refuge in Fufeng's paradise."
"Guan Ning Bingyuan" After listening to Hua Xin's words, Ma Chao couldn't help but show disappointment on his face.
Because he knew these two people.
There was a dragon in the late Han Dynasty: Hua Xin was the head of the dragon, Bing Yuan was the belly, and Guan Ning was the tail.
This was how people evaluated these three people at that time.
However, Ma Chao was somewhat dissatisfied with such a person in vain, especially the fact that Guan Ning and Hua Xin broke off their relationship, which made Ma Chao less interested in Guan Ning.
Back then, when Hua Xin was studying, he traveled thousands of miles to visit Guan Ning.
The two hit it off and became good friends.
Once, the two of them were hoeing the garden together to get gold.
Guan Ning regarded it as rubble and threw it aside.
Another time, while they were studying at the same table, a dignitary passed by in a luxurious sedan.
Guan Ning ignored him and continued to concentrate on his study, while Hua Xin showed admiration and ran out to watch.
After Hua Xin came back, Guan Ning cut the mat open, sat separately from Hua Xin, and said that Zi was not my friend.
This is what was later passed down as a good story about cutting off mats and cutting off relations and hoeing the garden to get gold.
But Ma Chao has different views on these two things: First, in Ma Chao's view, Guan Ning is a real fool when it comes to getting gold by hoeing the garden.
Because he doesn't realize the importance of money, he is simply the kind of idiot who studies to death.
His behavior was indeed highly praised by the world in the late Han Dynasty, but in the Ma family, a group that paid more attention to hard work and performance, his value trade-off conflicted with the values of the entire group.
Ma Chao would not bother to mediate the resulting conflicts.
Because he can't mediate it either.
There was also the matter of cutting off seats and severing diplomatic relations.
This did not give Ma Chao much favor, but made Ma Chao think that Guan Ning's interpersonal skills were not good.
Because he speaks unscrupulously, he is easily disliked by others.
In other words, in a more fashionable way, Ma Chao believes that Guan Ning has a high IQ but a low emotional quotient.
For this kind of person, Ma Chao couldn't see his strategy for governing the country, nor had he ever heard of his achievements in military formations or strategizing.
Apart from letting him serve as a clerk in the Ministry of Rites, he had almost no other great use.
As for Bingyuan, there was almost no ink left in the history books, and Ma Chao was even less interested.
Therefore, Ma Chao just smiled at the two people recommended by Hua Xin.
He will not use a lot of manpower and material resources to go to Liaodong to bring them back.
After all, the outstanding and humble people he asked Shadow to find, such as Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Pang Tong, and Xu Shu, have not yet been found, so he has no intention of provoking those with high reputations and bad tempers.
As for the big people.
Of course, Ma Chao still had some words of encouragement for Hua Xin.
Then Hua Xin said something that made Ma Chao interested. s: It’s the first time I’ve ever gotten up so early, and the first time I’ve ever been so excited.
