Chapter 89 Jia Xu is good at planning

Chang'an, Chang'an Order Mansion.

At dusk, Ma Chao, Pang De and others sorted out all day and finally sorted out the inventory registered population in Chang'an.

Pang De reached out and rubbed his eyes, and smiled bitterly: "Young Master, this matter of managing government is more tiring than killing enemies in battle. These numbers are harder to remember than the method of starting a war."

"Haha... Ling Ming, this is not possible. I am still going to appoint you as the Chang'an Order. I see this burden, you have to continue carrying it." Ma Chao put down the bamboo slips in his hand and laughed loudly.

When he heard Ma Chao's voice, Pang De's expression was exaggerated and shouted: "Young Master, if you let De charge into battle, kill the generals and snatch the flag, De will not be vague, but if De is allowed to sit in the hall for a long time, it would be better to kill Delai's pleasure."

"Brother Ling Ming, it's a joyful congratulation. Jingzhao Yin Chang'an Order, that's two thousand stones. When you go to a restaurant to drink in the future, you are not allowed to call you poor again. You can escape by urinating. Otherwise, the people of Chang'an will be circulated as a joke when they hear it." Zhang He and Zhao Yun came from outside at this time. When they were still at the door, he bowed and joked.

Pang De jumped up and smiled and said, "Junyi, you are spreading rumors. When did I go to the restaurant and I didn't pay for it? If you don't tell me some evidence today, you'll be ready to pay for the blood."

"Talking about serious business, Brother Zilong, didn't you say you had something to report?" Zhang He saw that the disaster was on his back, and quickly said with a look around.

"I'm fine?" Zhao Yun knew that they were playing tricks, so he asked seriously.

"Junyi..." Pang De smiled.

"Who, this, this month's salary has not been received yet. Do you owe this drinking first?" Zhang He wanted to get away with it with careless eyes.

"Junyi, your salary is right? I'll ask the account to pay you first. Anyway, everyone is hungry now, so it's better to hire them together." Ma Chao touched his stomach and smiled intentionally or unintentionally.

After hearing this, Zhang He knew that he would not be slaughtered. He was upset that he was talking too much, and he thought to himself: "I have not made any contribution now, and I don't know how much my monthly salary is, and I don't know if it's enough to pay for this meal."

Ma Chao looked up and looked at Zhang He with a bitter look on his face, saying, "Where is Zhang He?"

"The last one will be here!"

"I will now give you the rank of the sci-sound lieutenant, with a monthly rank of 600 stones, a monthly rank of 3,500 yuan, and a grain of 30 hu."

"Thank you for your reward." Zhang He thanked him in surprise when he heard this reward.

"Zilong, I know that you are brave, but I should have a clear reward and punishment. Now I will give you the Longwu Duwei. When Rong Hou makes meritorious, I will reward you first. You will have a rank of 400 stones, a monthly money of 2,500, and a grain of 20 hu."

"I will thank you for the reward at the end." Zhao Yun responded in a deep voice. The gift for Ma Chao was no less expensive, not to mention that the official position was just a vain, it mainly depends on whether he had his own place to use it.

"Hu Chi'er, you have made merits in offering the city. Now I will give you the general who defeated the captive army. The rank of 1,000 stones is 4,000 yuan per month and 40 hu of grain." Hu Chi'er has made merits. Although Ma Chao was not satisfied with this person's talent, he still rewarded him heavily, just as he used his salary to pay him up.

Salary is not the standard for measuring talents in Ma Chao's mind. If Zhao Yun first came, he could only temporarily aggrieved him, but if there was a war, he would definitely only use Zhao Yun and would not send Hu Chier to him.

Hu Chier felt a little unbalanced when she heard that Ma Chao had given her a title but did not give her a real position, because these official positions Ma Chao had given her were all miscellaneous titles and false positions, that is, they only had a salary and specific division of labor affairs, but they were not assigned. When Hu Chier was in Niu Fu's army, her monthly salary was also a thousand stones. Now that she saw that she was still in Ma Chao's camp, she still had this salary. This was normal for him who was short-sighted.

"I will thank you for the last time." Hu Chier responded in a low voice, looking a little listless.

Ma Chao didn't care about this, nor did he grant Pang De any more, because Pang De's official position was now granted by his father Ma Teng, and he didn't want to be promoted rashly, so Pang De's contribution can only be discussed later.

"Report! Major General, General Zhang Rui is asking for a visit outside the mansion." The personal soldiers walked into the hall quickly and bowed and shouted.

"Open the middle door and welcome!" Ma Chao was delighted and said loudly: "Hello, come with me to welcome you."

When the generals agreed and walked towards the gate together, Pang De teased: "Junyi, you're a good deal. Let's record this account for the time being."

"Brother Ling Ming, I'm not old." Zhang He replied in a low voice.

"Junyi, go to the restaurant opposite immediately and order a banquet. I want to invite the VIPs." As Ma Chao strided forward, he turned around and told him. Zhang He, who was already very proud, would glar at Pang De in dissatisfaction like an eggplant made from frost, meaning that, "Wait, I will settle the bill sooner or later."

"I have met the Grand Tutor." Ma Chao led the crowd to greet him. As soon as he stepped out of the gate, Zhang Rui and the other two stood under the steps, hurriedly bowed and said.

Ma Chao raised his eyes and glanced at the two people beside Zhang Rui. He saw the man in blue clothes, about thirty years old, with long face and short beards, thick eyebrows and thin eyes. He knew that this must be Jia Xu.

The young man in a robe wore a crown and hat, a square face, broad face, sword-eyed eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and a slender figure, and looked majestic. Naturally, Zhang Rui's brother Zhang was also a master.

"The two gentlemen have admired each other for a long time. Fortunately, we met each other today, which is enough to comfort us all our lives." Ma Chao hurriedly bowed and laughed loudly.

"Please go to the hall for a lecture." Ma Chao bowed and asked the two of them to enter.

Jia Xu's eyes were like a poisonous snake, swept across everyone's faces, paused slightly on Ma Chao's face, and couldn't help but praise him secretly: What a mighty body, it's full of heaven, with bright stars, and really a dragon and tiger posture, with a humble and polite manner, it seems to be a tolerant person.

Looking at the generals behind him, all of them had evil spirits, obviously they were all brave men. What a strange thing, why didn’t there be any strategists? Could it be that Ma Chao’s achievements today were all planned by his own plans. If so, this person would really have the talent to understand the sky and the earth.

"The Grand Tutor is respected, so you should ask first!" Jia Xu thought secretly, and Zhang Ji replied humbly.

"...Haha, the two gentlemen are here, how dare you be honored? Please enter the hall." Ma Chao laughed loudly and walked into the hall with his hands.

After the guests and hosts were sitting in the lobby, they politely discussed each other, and the topic gradually became the topic. Ma Chao changed his tone and asked: "Chaojiu is new to Chang'an, and he is ready to take advantage of the opportunity to send troops to Luoyang, meet with the princes of Guandong, and attack Dong's thieves. I wonder what Mr. Jia thinks?"

Jia Xu was so smart, and he guessed that Ma Chao was trying to test in a flash. He said calmly: "Xu thought Chang'an was newly established and it was the season of spring plowing. He should be the main focus of pacifying people's livelihood. If you send troops, you can plan for the long-term. There is a danger of Tongguan Hangu in Chang'an, and only one general is allowed to send thousands of soldiers, so you can ensure that Guanzhong is safe."

"The purpose of sending troops to Luoyang is to attack Dong Zhuo. As long as we guard Guanzhong, it is enough to shock Dong Zhuo. In addition, the Guandong princes allied forces attacked each other. I expect that Dong Zhuo would be panicked when he learned that Chang'an had fallen. When facing a strong army in front and no retreat in the back, Dong's thief would either have to defend Luoyang to death or retreat from Luoyang to attack Tongguan, but no matter which way he took, he would be seriously injured and it would be difficult to make any difference."

After hearing Jia Xu's remarks, Ma Chao found that it coincided with the plan Guo Jia had once told him. In amazement, Ma Chao nodded secretly to praise him, but he made up his mind that no matter what, Jia Xu must stay.
