Chapter 608: Stockpiling Grain


After the discussion in Deyang Hall, the entire Ma family became busy, and the entire military camp became a slaughterhouse.

After the discussion, Ma Chao went to the Qiang tribe outside the Great Wall that day and asked for 200,000 cattle and sheep from the Qiang leader.

After the order was given, the fate of the dairy sheep was better, and other livestock such as goats and beef cattle were all slaughtered and made into dried meat.

Ma Chao then ordered everyone to make the offal into sausages, smoke them, dry them and store them.

The whole of Chang'an was frantically stockpiling grain.

The sergeants didn't understand why, thinking that they were going to fight again to gain military glory, and they were all very excited.

However, after slaughtering these animals and the Hussars General ordered them to hunt game in the mountains, all the sergeants felt that something was not normal.

Later, when they saw carts and carts of grain and grass being purchased and stored in the military camp, everyone suddenly realized: something big was going to happen.

However, during those days of panic, the military did not allow any rumors to spread.

As time went by, after everyone got used to the crazy hoarding of grain by the entire Ma family, they also neglected to settle down: maybe, even though the Chinese New Year is approaching, the general might want to speculate on grain prices.

Yes, during this period, the Ma family's crazy grain harvesting behavior caused the price of grain to rise sharply in the Sili area.

According to insiders, when the general started from scratch and occupied Fufeng, some wealthy families in Fufeng were dissatisfied and secretly tampered with the situation.

As a result, the general was forced to fight an economic war, which made those speculators bankrupt.

The human heart is such a strange thing.

When you don't understand something, you want to know why.

But after calming down for a while, I was no longer interested in that matter, but the news that came out was so convincing that it was true.

"Sergeants of the Ma family all think that a certain class just wants to bring down the rich families in Chang'an."

Ma Chao sat tiredly on the throne of the Chancellor's desk.

Facing the nightmare that had not come for a long time, his mental pressure seemed to be reaching the extreme.

"That's right," Diao Chan gently rubbed Ma Chao's shoulders and said, "The shadows have been sent down, and it's time for the three nails of Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, and Liu Biao to take effect."

"That's very good."

After listening to Diao Chan's report, Ma Chao rubbed his temples, patted Diao Chan's catkins, and said, "You have also worked hard these days."

However, before he finished speaking, Liu Yue and Fu Shou came hand in hand.

Seeing the deep love between Ma Chao and Diao Chan, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Ma Chao was embarrassed and quickly added: "You have all gone to trouble, especially Shou'er, who doesn't even have a single luminous accessory on his body."

For this natural disaster, the Ma family could be said to have searched and looted everything, and even their own daughters-in-law were not spared at all.

After Cai Yan took the initiative to hand over her few jewelry to Ma Chao, the other wives of the Ma family no longer had any expensive decorations on their bodies.

Even a pure silver spear that Han Ying made earlier could not escape Ma Chao's clutches.

When Liu Yue and Fu Shou heard this, their originally angry expressions softened slightly: Liu Yue was doing better.

After all, he had more experience than Fu Shou, so there was no need for Ma Chao to comfort him.

But Fu Shou was young and a proud daughter of heaven.

It was also the time when Ma Chao was taking advantage of the Fu family.

Ma Chao couldn't easily make Fu Shou unhappy.

Fortunately, Fu Shou is not as willful as the Ma family imagined.

After receiving the praise from the Ma family, she smiled and said: "Sisters Chan and Yue are the ones who have the hardest work.

Shou'er is just a blessing from her mother's family.

I just want to contact you husband.

Husband, the Guan family from the Western Regions and the Li family from Jinyang will arrive in Chang'an in the afternoon.

You really want to meet them."

"Yes," Ma Chao waved his hand to Liu Yue and Fu Shou to come forward and talk, and said thoughtfully: "If these two families are as rich in food and powerful as Shou'er said, then my husband must go to see them in person.

Not only For this relief work, and also for the future development of Ma’s Shop.”

"My husband is right.

Even though the Ma family's products have been marketed to the Han Dynasty, they have never been associated with those merchants.

And these two families are not far from the Sili area, and there are no behind-the-scenes forces involved.

They are exactly what we need.

The target to fight for."

Liu Yue heard Ma Chao's words and immediately guessed Ma Chao's intention.

After finishing this sentence for him, he added: "It's just that Yue'er is worried about negotiating such a huge and important matter rashly."

"Don't worry."

Ma Chao pursed his lips and smiled, with black smoke coming out of his bones, and said sinisterly: "Anyway, I won't pay them real money.

Instead, they will bring over ten thousand grains.

No matter what, we I can’t even pay for it” And at this moment, in the desert beyond the Great Wall from Jinyang to Chang'an.

The vast expanse of yellow sand stretches from one side of the horizon to the other, like a dry sea, silent under the winter sun.

There was very little wind, and it was very weak.

Like a pebble thrown into a lake, it could only stir up weak ripples on the desert sea, and then it disappeared without a trace.

Drop by drop, sweat seeped out from the forehead, slid down the cheeks and neck, and finally fell on the cold gravel, breaking into countless petals.

Even in winter, the sweat of their slave laborers never stops.

The heavy grain and grass were bundled tightly and piled up like a mountain.

They rose and fell with the backs of the horses, making them look shaky.

The servants leading the horses were also bent over and had huge packages all over their bodies, making it difficult to move.

There was no laughter, only heavy breathing, and the crisp sound of horse bells that sounded along with the marching rhythm.

The leader was a young man with a serious face and well-dressed.

He rode at the forefront of the team, stopping from time to time to urge the people behind him.

Only when he saw everyone showing signs of exhaustion, did he give a few words of encouragement to get everyone to speed up.

Next to him, there was a person dressed as a shopkeeper, with a heavy look of weariness on his face, and he was worried about something.

"Young Master," the shopkeeper finally couldn't help but speak and asked the leader: "Although you have convinced the elders in the family meeting, you have tied the entire family to the Ma family's boat.

Such a risky thing , you really don’t have to think about it anymore.”

"Lao Pan, if I stay up late to take care of business, I will definitely not be able to compete with you.

But when it comes to it."

The leader took another serious look at Chang'an in the distance, turned back and smiled at the shopkeeper named Lao Pan, and continued.

Said: "You also know the situation in Jinyang.

The Black Mountain Army plunders from time to time in the north, and the Yuan family recruits and lends troops to the east.

But we are not as prestigious as the Sima family.

In addition to seeking refuge with the Ma family, there are other options.

Are there any other options?”

"However, the Ma family's power has not reached Bingzhou after all."

Lao Pan also admitted that his young master was right, but he was still a little worried.

"When the Ma family's power extends to Bingzhou, even if we lie down and lick someone's toes, we will still be no more than one ten thousandth of what we are doing now."

When he said this, the leader's eyes suddenly became clear.

A flash of light flashed out, as if he was talking to himself or talking to Lao Pan: "I didn't expect that along the way, under the banner of the Ma family, I didn't encounter any foreigners or bandits."

At the same time, along the way, the head of the family who had seen Fufeng being much more prosperous than the Western Region could not help but hide a bit of surprise in his deep eyes, and murmured: "In the desolate land of Yongzhou, there is such a grand scene.

From this point of view, Fu.

The Ma Chao I introduced you must also be a business wizard.

I hope he understands the charm of business better than Han Sui."

And when he looked back at his endless caravan, the head of the family smiled, confidence showing on his face: "No matter what, the sincerity I brought is enough.

If Ma Chao really He is a wonderful man, so wouldn’t it be better if he abandoned Han Sui and cooperated directly with him?”

s: Infusion, four days in a row, five bottles a day, but it still didn’t work.

It cost at least several hundred dollars more.

I went to a convenience clinic last night and got one injection, which seemed to be symptomatic and cost three yuan.

I'm really speechless.
