Ma Hutong had already expected it, and a generous smile appeared on his face. He folded his hands and made a bow, and said with a smile: "Life in the mountains is difficult. I originally invited everyone to have a tooth ceremony today, but it didn't make me happy. Don't be in a hurry.

Don’t be anxious, this is a good thing. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand it now, you can go back and read the details slowly.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zeng Yu stood up, then bowed to Ma Hutong and said: "Thanks to Mr. Ma, I will do my best to contribute to the Han Dynasty. I am willing to send the three hundred archers from Huce Mansion to the army."

Leave it all to the leader."

Zeng Yu believes that since even the remote Huce Mansion can be found and distributed invitations, hiding is impossible. Currently, relying on NPC forces to develop is the consensus between him and Tian Buwei. Those who understand current affairs are heroes, why not take the initiative to throw everything out?

Chips, I believe Ma Hutong will not be stingy with rewards for the first one to stand up and obey.

At this time, Ma Hutong's eyes seemed to be in a line of laughter. Ma Hutong didn't expect that the problem could be solved by talking at the banquet. The Ma clan, which advocates blood and fire, even if they dress up and have gentle expressions, they can't hide the smell of blood in their bones.

, he has already adjusted

Several thousands-man troops were sent to prepare at the foot of the mountain. After the banquet, they will go to various resource points and territories. Zeng Yu took the lead and stood up and handed over his military power, allowing the problem in front of him to be overcome without attack and spread to Ma Dai's ears.

It must be a great achievement and naturally a great joy.

System prompt: "Ma Hutong's favorable impression of you +30"

"Sure enough, I was not wrong. The great Han Dynasty can only be resurrected without the support of young heroes like Zeng Yu. Although your troops are less than a thousand, they are all your troops. Since you are loyal to the country, I will temporarily replace you."

General Zhengxi has conferred upon you the title of Captain." Ma Hutong knew Zeng Yu's troops very well. Zeng Yu was so understanding and reciprocated his kindness, so Ma Hutong did not treat him lightly.

Envy, jealousy, hatred, all the emotions of the awakened people were transformed into eyes and projected on Zeng Yu.

Zeng Yu left his seat, pushed the gold mountain, poured down the jade pillar, and stood up with tears all over his face: "I am a villager from this mountain, and I have made small contributions occasionally, but you are so favored and appointed beyond the rank. Even if you are devastated, you can't repay such a great favor!"

"

Hearing Zeng Yu's affirmative answer, Ma Hutong was even more happy. With such a loyal person, why worry about the Ma family being unhappy?

When everyone woke up, they came to hand over their military power, but the treatment was very different. The official positions they received were all empty, and they regretted it. After the banquet, everyone came out of the courtyard to greet Zeng Yu, thinking of becoming the new boss's confidants.

It could also make up for some losses, but Zeng Yu couldn't make any progress and said goodbye to everyone.

Afterwards, Ma Hutong was even more convinced that Zeng Yu had no comrades, was loyal and respectable, and could be reused.

Although he lost his current military strength, the official position and Ma Hutong's trust gained were still worth it. Tian Buwei was convinced. From his businessman's point of view, he was able to make decisive decisions in that environment, and he was worthy of being the chairman of the board of directors.

, well, he’s still an acting guy!

There is a big difference between the actual official position and the false position. Tian Buwei got the false position from Du Bo, "Du Bo (virtual position), salary 1,000 taels. (Losing the official position, the salary disappears.)" Although the soldiers turned in were all sent by Ma Tiexing

The Qiang soldiers were not distressed, but five hundred strong Qiang soldiers were given such a false title, which made Tian Buwei gnash his teeth and scold Ma Hutong, a weak official who did not recognize loyal ministers. It would be good to give him some attributes to make him stronger.

ah.

Back in the village, a group of people from Hu Ce Mansion had been waiting in the village hall early. As soon as Tian Buwei entered, he couldn't wait to talk to them about the matter and asked them to judge whether Ma Hutong was a coward. Everyone laughed together.

"Haha, even though we escaped this disaster, it can be seen that the Ma family has been very wary of powerful landlords with military power since the mining camp was occupied. We cannot be too proud of being able to obtain actual military power this time. Liu Biao and others

We will send our soldiers over as soon as possible. Within the system, if we lower our posture, we will not lose anything. If our posture is too high, our future will be slim." Zeng Yu sat relaxedly in the first seat with a smile on his face, obviously in a very good mood.

good.

Li Fengxiao nodded in agreement and said: "I think back then I was also an excellent bookkeeper in Chengji County, but I offended a villain and slandered the county magistrate. He sent me to raise pigs, and later sent me to Yema Mountain as a pawn.

Village chief, the official career is dangerous, the official career is dangerous!”

Hearing Li Fengxiao's bumpy experience, everyone who had just finished laughing couldn't help laughing again.

Liu Biao was still the same, cool and upright, sitting at the bottom. At this time, he said: "The central control of the Han Dynasty was weak, which led to the failure of local government orders. Even a steward without official status in the Ma family can be appointed to an official position.

If we want to be strong, we may not be able to be so domineering. We still have to focus on our hard power. Relying on others is not a long-term solution."

After hearing this, everyone who had been smiling suddenly stopped smiling and nodded in agreement.

"Liu Biao's words are true. If we are strong, others cannot tell us what to do." Zeng Yu thought about it and continued: "There is a good opportunity for rapid development in front of us, but the population is our flaw. At present, our

The population is 750. The strong population will be transferred to the Bow and Arrow Camp and the Scout Camp. All the existing troops in the Bow and Arrow Camp will have to be sent to the Ma family. The remaining population is only 3 agricultural people.

Scout Camp 30. Our Huce Prefecture is still at the level of a small village. The number of refugees it can attract every day is 15 people. Excluding the farmers who are used for construction, farming, and mining, it will take at least half a year to reach a full establishment of 1,000 people. In addition, with Xianbei

Through trade, we did not exchange cattle and sheep, but only gold and silver. While we tightened our belts to maintain the operation of our archers, our food stocks were almost gone."

Liu Biao then added: "Our inventory of bows and arrows are all equipped in the bow and arrow camp, and all the archers have been sent to the Ma family. Our archers cannot continue to recruit and train. The Han army has been recruited, but they are just volunteers.

They are upgraded versions, and we don’t have the weapons and armor to equip them.”

A series of questions were thrown out, and everyone was speechless for a while. After all, the foundation was too weak, and a series of resources could not keep up, which led to the shortage of food and population. The blacksmith shop for making weapons and armor requires architectural drawings to build. Because there are many

There are no architectural drawings for the construction of the buildings, and the village has never met the standards for upgrading to an intermediate village. Even the training of archers has to go to the intermediate camp on the top of the mountain for training before being transferred back to the village to station.

Li Fengxiao said hesitantly: "We should first solve the population problem and use gold to increase the population. With the population, cultivating more farmland can alleviate the food dilemma. After the food problem is solved, can't we expand the army?"

It is a very typical farming model, which is what ordinary small lords do. However, it is not feasible to deal with the current situation. Tian Buwei, who is proficient in arithmetic, quickly taught him a lesson: "Based on our current total population,

It takes 20,000 taels of gold to use one increase. Our existing gold

Ten thousand taels can only be added ten times. Even if you spend all the gold, you can only recruit 375 people. The more people there are, the more food will be consumed. Take the archers as an example. The archers converted from volunteers will have daily food.

The consumption is 50 units, and the daily output of a piece of primary farmland is also 50 units, plus the farmer's own consumption.

For a unit of grain, one farmer is responsible for one field. These 375 archers require 525 farmers to feed them. For the Han army to recruit 1,000 full strength, this is an unattainable dream. This gold is more useful for bribing officials.

Wonderful effect.”

The embarrassed Li Fengxiao was defeated and blushed and stopped talking.

"Lord, have we suddenly been dazzled by this opportunity? We must be on guard to seize military power. If we are too anxious to eat hot tofu, the best way is to figure it out slowly!" The upright Liu Hu stood up and admonished.

Zeng Yu realized that he, who had always been enterprising, was indeed too eager this time. Since Ma Hutong recognized him and gave him an official position, Ma Hutong would only use him as long as he did not make a big mistake. Even if he now had the resources to recruit 1,000 soldiers, Ma Hutong would not be able to recruit him.

I know that if I violate a taboo, my fate will not be much better than that of the innocent ghost in Yema Mountain.

"Okay, okay! This is the best way to solve the urgent problem at hand. Liu Hu is indeed my pillar and has an insight into current affairs. I almost made a big mistake!" Zeng Yu stood up suddenly and bowed his hands in front of Liu Hu.

Liu Hu's face turned red with excitement after receiving this great gift. He felt like a scholar would die for his confidant, and he retreated to his seat. Everyone was also moved. With you like this, why worry about the Huce Mansion not being strong?

"It is indeed the truth. Considering the Ma family's eagerness to take back the military power of the forces in Yema Mountain, we continue to recruit troops after handing over military power. This is undoubtedly a disobedience. The disaster is right in front of us." Tian Buwei said thoughtfully.

road.

Liu Biao also understood and said bitterly: "Draw a cake but can't eat it. This Ma family is too cheating."

"We might as well do nothing, get rid of the troops, recruit farmers with all our strength, cultivate food, and enrich the granary. We should also withdraw all our scouts and make a respectful gesture." Zeng Yu decided.
