Chapter 611: Yuvro's Gift


"What is the structure of a wooden cow and a flowing horse?"

Ma Chao murmured to himself as he scratched his head and ears around a pile of wood: "Did Zhuge Liang really create an artifact that violated the law of conservation of energy?

Or is that all far-fetched by future generations and Mr.

Luo?"

The unlucky grain from Yongzhou will be shipped in the next two days.

As for transportation, it has now become a major problem facing Ma Chao.

Ma Chao had no choice but to find Zheng Hun to discuss improving the wheelbarrow that was only available in rural areas in his previous life.

During the Three Kingdoms period, human-powered walking transport devices existed, but they were all two-wheeled vehicles.

It must be very laborious when transportation is stressed and on rugged roads.

In view of this situation, Ma Chao developed and produced a large number of wheelbarrows that could be operated by one person in order to solve the transportation difficulty of the drafted laborers.

A wheelbarrow can walk on a road that a person can walk on.

Each wheelbarrow can carry at least 400 kilograms of grain.

According to historical records, Zhuge Liang's wooden ox and flowing horse can carry 400 kilograms of one-year-old grain.

What's even more gratifying is that Zheng Hun also hung a sail on the unicycle, using the power of the wind to make it more effortless to push.

In order to be durable, Ma Chao also added an iron axle, and made lightweight wheels with spokes from the wheels sawn from logs.

As a result, the entire transportation team turned into a scene of cars rushing, horses rustling, and the grain transportation team all carrying knives.

In this transportation, Ma Chao plans to transport enough relief food for one million people for one month from the border of Yongzhou.

These include high-yielding crops such as potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes that Yongzhou has long stocked, but more importantly, they include wheat, beans, millet, cereals and other miscellaneous grains.

And this quantity is also the maximum quantity that Yongzhou can achieve to ensure smooth farming next year.

What will be transported next is probably weeds, straw, war horse feed and other food to satisfy hunger.

Presumably, if we deal with it, we can fool millions of victims for another month.

And just when all the preparations were in full swing, the last winter of the third year of Chuping passed, and the first spring of the first year of Xingping ushered in.

This Spring Festival, the whole of Chang'an is filled with a weird atmosphere of love.

Some people are indifferent to the Ma family taking over Chang'an and celebrate the New Year with peace of mind; some people secretly criticize the Ma family for occupying the treasured land, but dare not speak out, and just arrange the New Year affairs indifferently; and even more, there are countless poverty-stricken people After the common people learned about the new policy regulations described by the Ma family's propaganda team a year ago, they were grateful to the Ma family.

Regardless of the harsh winter, they sang and danced outside the palace, hoping that the Ma family could truly bring them a peaceful and stable tomorrow.

On the first day of the new year, Ma Chao also formally paid New Year's greetings to all his staff and distributed year-end pensions to win over people's hearts.

However, when all the soldiers of the Ma family were crying with gratitude, Qin Yu from the Ministry of Rites found Ma Chao and said, "My lord, the Xiongnu Yufuluo sent his son to visit my lord and wish you good luck in the new year."

"Liu Bao is here."

Ma Chao frowned.

He had always been wary and uneasy about that Yuvluo.

If it weren't for a major disaster this year, depending on Ma Chao's temperament, he would definitely have given Yufro a shocking warning.

Therefore, when he heard Liu Bao coming, Ma Chao didn't look good at all.

Facing thousands of generals, Ma Chao could only ask quietly: "What is he here for?"

"It seems to be just a tribute."

After Qin Yu joined the Ma family, he realized how comfortable it was to seek an official position in the Ma family, and he could also get unexpected benefits and respect from the world.

From this, like a mortal, he began to care about his official position.

After seeing Ma Chao's unswerving expression, he added: "Liu Bao from Beizhongguan brought a lot of cattle and sheep, presumably as gifts.

Perhaps, they may have already known about the Ma family's purchase of a large number of cattle and sheep from the Qiang people on credit."

"Oh" Ma Chao nodded slightly, but frowned even more tightly, and said: "This Humphrey is really well-informed.

It doesn't matter, he knows his son.

Anyway, he is so tolerant.

Thousands of cattle and sheep, don’t give up for free” In the Deyang Palace, Liu Bao looked at the empty and desolate things outside, and couldn't help but feel a sense of irony in his heart: Even when Chang'an fell under the iron hoof of his Huns, it was not so ruined.

I really don’t know if this Ma Chao is a Han or a Huns.

However, immediately afterwards, Liu Bao's expression gradually became gloomy.

Because he saw that the majestic figure in brocade clothes was already walking towards him, and he had to pretend to be frightened.

Liu Bao agreed with his father's strategy of forbearance.

And he also knew that with the current power of the Ma family, there was nothing they could do.

Knowing in his heart was one thing, but whether he could accept it and whether he could perform well was another matter for Liu Bao.

It's over.

"The nephew of General Hussar has sent us 10,000 shi of rations and 30,000 cattle and sheep on my father's orders to help the army."

When Liu Bao saw Ma Chao coming forward, he knelt down and said before he could sit down.

Ma Chao laughed loudly, hurriedly helped Liu Bao up, and said kindly: "Oh, what are you talking about?

You and I are about the same age, so we can just avoid calling you uncle and nephew."

Over the years, the more things Ma Chao has experienced, the more people he has to deal with.

As time went by, he became thick-faced and dark-hearted.

Even though Liu Bao could see a trace of resentment in Liu Bao's eyes at a glance, he could still smile as warmly as the spring sunshine.

Smiling is indeed the best way to ease the relationship between people.

When Liu Bao saw Ma Chao smiling so kindly, the expression on his face became more natural.

Especially when Ma Chao gets upright and then gives him a seat.

"My dear nephew, there are no outsiders here.

As for the capture of Chang'an, the Ma family owed Luan Ti Shanyu a lot, so Shan Yu was forced to work in the army.

Chao felt really sorry."

Although he said before that he would not use the title of uncle and nephew, but with this opening, Ma Chao It seems that he casually called out the title of "nephew".

It can be seen that Ma Chao has already become a duplicitous political master at this moment.

"General Hussar is too worried," Liu Bao stood up, clasped his fists, and imitated the tone of the Han people and said: "Since we, Luan Ti, have declared our submission to the Ma family, we naturally have to pay tribute on our behalf.

With the help of the Ma family, Luan Ti will It’s only because I have the scale I have today and a few possessions, I hope the general doesn’t take offense to it.”

"Don't be surprised, don't be surprised."

He said this, but Ma Chao frowned slightly.

He wanted to ask Yu Fulo how he knew that he was short of food, but he saw Liu Bao's face.

With a vigilant look on his face, he gave up that plan.

Then he said: "In this case, the Ma family can't let the young general's trip go in vain.

Someone is here."

Duanmu Ruoyu came in response, holding a tray that had been prepared in his hand.

It was covered tightly with red silk cloth, so that Liu Bao could not see through anything inside: "My dear nephew, let's see how this looks like."

After Liu Bao heard this, he opened up your red silk cloth.

When he saw the glass sculpture of the Howling Moon Wolf on the tray, he exclaimed: "Great God Kunlun, do you want to give us such a sacred object?"

Luan mentioned one?"

"It's not a blessing from Kunlun God, but a gift from my Ma family," Ma Chao suddenly said coldly and grimly.

When Liu Bao saw Ma Chao's serious and arrogant look, he immediately understood what Ma Chao meant and bowed down, not daring to question him at all.

"Go down and hand it over to your father.

A smart man like him knows when to reveal this thing to the Huns."

After seeing Liu Bao's unconvinced look, Ma Chao smiled inwardly and waved his hand. .

But Liu Bao knelt on the ground and couldn't get up for a long time, as if he still had something to say. s: Thanks again to Jinshishi for the reward.

I still feel uncomfortable.

I wrote all day long, but ended up feeling dizzy and only wrote two thousand words.

I tried to work harder and see if I could write another chapter in the evening.

However, don’t expect too much, after all, I have gone to the toilet more than ten times today:
