Ma's Arsenal.
Ma Chao looked at the forging room that already had semi-mechanical and assembly line production, and couldn't help but reveal a smile of relief on his face: The money invested in the arsenal through frugality was not thrown away in vain.
Before that, Ma Chao had been to Ma's Farm.
When he saw the farm technicians, who were also working with coal fires in greenhouses to study crop hybridization and high yields in the four seasons, and had made great progress, his face was already split into flowers: No.
They say that they have developed higher-yield hybrid winter wheat No. 2 and cold- and drought-resistant potatoes.
They say that the greenhouse planting technology can already guarantee that you can eat fresh vegetables all year round.
In the first few years, when Ma Chao first crossed over, this place was really poor, especially in winter.
Apart from the entertainment of the androids, it’s just a pain in the ass.
What we eat is Chinese cabbage.
This Chinese cabbage was only available when Ma Chao traveled through time.
There was no such thing in the Han Dynasty.
What he wore was nothing but fur, and it was heavy and damp.
Ma Chao has made two down jackets.
Except for the hundreds of chickens that died with their eyes open, they are not as warm and comfortable as Bosideng or Flying in the Snow.
As for playing, well, you can hunt.
But for a while, the animals on the mountain shivered in fear when they heard the sound of Xianglong Xiaohei's horse hooves.
Seriously, Ma Chao made those hibernating beasts miserable.
But now, the Ma family has food and vegetables that are as good as those in the 21st century, cotton-spun cotton clothes for play, and even more innovative artificial human postures.
There is no way, in this era, after you come, it is impossible not to pick up girls and unify the country.
Archery, books, etiquette, and imperialism are all boring.
Killing people without evil intentions is really boring.
And now, Ma Chao looked at the scene where dozens of blacksmiths with bare chests were hammering away with hammers, the tinkling sound resounding through the sky, and the red fire almost melting the whole world.
It would be a lie to say that he wasn't excited.
After all, he had changed all of this.
"Lord, after following your secret method, three people in the arsenal can produce a hundred kilograms of steel in one day.
The previous output of a hundred kilograms of steel was only 70,000 kilograms per year, which is the maximum output of nearly five hundred skilled craftsmen."
Han Seeing Ma Chao's expression, Feng said appropriately.
"Okay, okay, okay" After hearing this, Ma Chao yelled three times.
Insufficient steel production has always been a bottleneck that restricts Ma Chao from recruiting troops aggressively.
Even now, Pound still has more than 20,000 Ma Jiajun, using old-fashioned equipment and weapons from the Han Dynasty.
When it comes to hundred-forged steel, only military attachés above the rank of corps commander can get one or two pieces.
The lowest-level soldiers only use swords that are of better quality than the Huanshou sword of the Han Dynasty.
There are also steel-nailed crossbows, large spear points, stirrups, etc.
Although these do not require hundreds of forged steel, they are also extremely expensive war supplies.
But now, I heard Han Feng say that after the arsenal has carefully studied the steel smelting encyclopedia, as long as the funds, coal, and iron can keep up, the Ma family can equip hundreds of thousands or even millions of Ma family troops.
At that time, the dream of conquering the world will really be nothing more than five words floating from the sky: That’s no big deal.
"My lord, it seems that although the Ma family is suffering from economic and financial difficulties, in terms of the situation, it is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai."
Xun You couldn't stand the high temperature in the forging room, so he wiped his sweat and said, "Now the Huns have withdrawn. , then should the conquest of Liangzhou be carried out in advance?"
After Ma Chao walked around casually, as soon as the freshness wore off, he walked towards the door and said as he walked: "After Shadow reported the news to me last night, they had already gone to the Qiang tribes.
As expected Not bad, then as long as the Qiang people go to the four counties of Liangzhou to raid and kill some bandits, the four counties of Liangzhou will naturally surrender to the Ma family. " At this point, Ma Chao had already seen Guo Jia and others who came out early due to the temperature of the forging room, and continued: "What I am worried about is who should be sent to take office after the four counties of Liangzhou surrender."
"Huangfu Jianshou, the son of general Huangfu Song, and Zhu Hao, son of general Zhu Jun, are both talented men with both civil and military skills and can be used for great purposes.
Moreover, the old general Huangfu Song is a native of Liangzhou, and his reputation has shocked Liangzhou for a long time.
If By sending the sons and deceased of the two old generals to take office, Liangzhou will be settled, and the hearts of the two old generals can be reassured."
Guo Jia heard Ma Chao's words at the door, and immediately marched with Ma Chao to answer. road.
"What brother said is absolutely true."

Ma Chao immediately agreed with Guo Jia's suggestion, and then said: "Gongda said before that it is understandable for the Ma family to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.
However, after Liangzhou is established, the Ma family will There are three places left” "The first is Zhang Lu in Hanzhong.
Although we used a borrowed knife to kill people this time, Zhang Lu is by no means a fool and will definitely fight back in the future."
People from Yang Fu and Yongliang were the first to name Zhang Lu who threatened Ma Chao's base camp.
"The second one is the Xiongnu.
The Xiongnu have been causing trouble for a long time.
Several times, they still want to seize the land of the Slave.
Their ambitions should be punished."
Zhang Liao spoke for the second time.
His ancestors had a grudge against the Xiongnu and joined the Ma family.
Factors that drove the Huns outside the Great Wall.
"The third is Duke Cao."
Guo Jia said this without hesitation at this time.
He said calmly: "Gong Cao is a wise and powerful man.
He is a hero.
In the affairs of Xuzhou and Lu Bu, Duke Cao will definitely be able to see through the lord's interference. .
Therefore, Duke Cao must also be on guard."
"Lord, we have to be on guard against Liu Biao in Jingzhou."
Xu Shu saw Ma Chao's expression gradually becoming serious.
Knowing that Ma Chao had already made plans in his mind, he also mentioned this invisible scourge: "Liu Biao's current civil strife has been eliminated, but Yangzhou Yuan Shu was restrained and he did not dare to touch the Ma family lightly.
However, the superficial alliance between the Ma family and Liu Biao must not make the two families feel at ease.
On the contrary, it is more likely to cause the other party to take sudden action."
Listening to these people talking about counting the enemies of the Ma family, Ma Chao felt like crying.
Unknowingly, the Ma family has reached the top of the turbulent waves where heroes are vying for the throne, and they have made enemies on all sides.
And dealing with these enemies is actually very simple.
Whether it is military conquest or conspiracy, the Ma family has all the illegal means and talents.
It just so happened that at this time, the Ma family was completely destitute.
The pace has been too fast these years, and it has been a bit slow.
The rapid expansion hit Sili's beautiful bubble, and Ma Chao's two-year old business was wiped out.
Although patching things up can make it through this year, the huge area can also help the Ma family recover quickly.
But in this year, the Ma family needs to recuperate and not let the enemy take advantage of it.
When we fight wars, we still fight against the economy and population.
Now the Ma family is not short of people, but it is short of money.
There is no shortage of ways to bring in money, but there is a lack of one year for the capital to be withdrawn.
After expressing these thoughts, all the civil servants and generals behind him also fell silent: Everything about the Ma family's problems is easy to solve, but everything is not solved well.
It seems to be stuck in a dead end.
"It doesn't matter," Ma Chao finally felt a little angry and couldn't help but encourage everyone: "Now the Ma family is leading in science and technology, rich in products, products are changing with each passing day, and the trade routes are unobstructed.
After Liangzhou is pacified, they can directly open up the market in the Western Regions.
And in these years, The Ma family is indeed too tired.
It’s good to stop and rest occasionally.
This year, if you can’t do anything drastic, it’s okay to make small fuss.
It just depends on who dares to die.”
After saying this, Ma Chao had already walked to the brick kiln opened in the heart of Ma's Arsenal.
Thanks to the book Construction Engineering Materials Manufacturing Technology, Han Feng told Ma Chao that the arsenal had already fired red bricks.
In just a few years at most, the people of the Han Dynasty could bid farewell to the era of wooden houses and tiled houses.

"Come on, come up and take a look.
With bricks, you don't have to worry too much about the post-disaster reconstruction in the Sili area."
Putting aside the distracting thoughts of the princes from all directions, Ma Chao stepped forward and wanted to enter.
He also said: "I will definitely Build Chang'an into a truly impregnable place and realize the long-cherished wish of the Han people for long-term peace and stability."
At this time, Zhang Ji led a group of people and rushed to Ma Chao's side.
After saluting, he said: "My lord, the Huns envoy is here."
"The Huns envoy" Ma Chao was stunned.
He was sure that it was not the people sent by Yuvluo, but the intention of the old king of the Huns.
Therefore, he wondered in his heart: What are they doing here?
They just retreated and then came back to ogle at such a treacherous speed.
But it’s much faster than brother chasing the little girl back then:
