Chapter 135: Be fair and lenient, Lu Xun will definitely be able to withstand it! (Please give me your monthly vote!)

The new year has passed in a blink of an eye.

In February of the eighth year of Jianxing, the middle section of Jianyue Avenue.

At dusk, Ma Su, who had arranged all the work properly, finally breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said to the migrant workers: "Everyone, work hard. The Prime Minister said that when the five major roads are completed, they will be selected during the road construction process."

The 100 people with the best performance will be awarded the Red Gold Medal of the Han Dynasty and the title of the 100 Outstanding Young People of the Han Dynasty, and will be personally received by His Majesty."

Upon hearing this, 20,000 migrant workers immediately responded with the warmest applause.

They were originally Qiang people, but after joining the road construction team and building roads for a year, they have been completely integrated into the Shuhan family. Hundreds of thousands of their family members were also brought to central Sichuan and resettled, and were given houses, farmland, chickens and ducks

Fish, geese, cattle and sheep.

Life is getting better at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

Now, after putting in a lot of hard work, we finally see the dawn of harvest.

Honors, treasures, everything.

It would be even better if there were some monetary rewards.

Everyone worked hard day and night to build roads, just for food and money.

As soon as this idea came up, Ma Su seemed to understand what they were thinking, and said with a smile:

"Of course, everyone who builds roads will receive a generous reward. In addition, your family will be tax-free for five years. On this basis, for every additional year of road construction, you will be tax-free for one more year. There is no upper limit to this tax-free mechanism.

!”

The crowd immediately responded with even more enthusiastic applause and cheers.

Amid the praise, Ma Su pressed his hands down, waited for everyone to calm down, and then said: "My only request is that the road must be repaired and it must be excellent! Especially the cement road in the plain area. There is a lot of rain in Sichuan, and the road needs to be passed through.

It can withstand long-term rain erosion and soaking. Therefore, the road must be hard! We are all gentlemen, and I don’t need to explain the importance of hardness. In a word: it must be hard!”

"Be tough! Be tough!" Everyone understood and agreed in unison, laughing loudly.

"Oh, that's right." Ma Di slapped his head and continued: "It is expected that this avenue (Jianyue Avenue) will be completed by the end of February, and the completion time of the five avenues will be the end of April. At that time, everyone will have a three-month holiday!"

There’s still a holiday?!

The crowd cheered even louder.

Ma Su and others had cheered enough, and then he said: "During the holidays, everyone must work hard and seize the time to implement the basic national policy. Our basic national policy is: there are three types of unfilial piety, and it is a crime to have younger children."

Everyone laughed.

There is no need for Ma Su to remind him about this matter, they just love doing it.

Ma Su looked around and cleared his throat: "I will give you a few final words."

"Starting from this month, my eldest son, Ma Wen, will be in charge of the road construction project. When you see him, it is like seeing me. You will do whatever you have to do."

Half an hour later.

Seeing that the faces of the 20,000 migrant workers were somewhat darkened and their bodies were shaky, Ma Su stopped his long speech and waved his hand: "Okay, let's adjourn the meeting!"

Hearing this, everyone was refreshed and felt relieved.

My dear mother, I have finally finished speaking.

Mr. Ma’s mouth is so broken!

Scared. Scared.

We would rather build roads until we die than listen to his nagging anymore.

With a whoop, everyone dispersed and quickly rushed towards the place where the fragrance came out.

cooked rice!

Road builders must have the spirit to work hard. With this spirit, the food will be sweet and delicious, and everyone can build the road well.

This was what Mr. Ma said, and they believed it deeply.

Ma Su turned his head and saw that Ma Wen looked a little unhappy, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, it's just a few roads. Father believes you can fix it."

Ma Wen nodded and said "hmm" without saying a word.

After staring at him for a moment, Ma Su sighed: "It's not that my father doesn't understand you, but that you are still young and it is not good to marry too early."

Your small body can't bear it very well.

"Father, I'm not young." Ma Wen lowered his head and muttered with his neck scrunched up.

Ma Su nodded: "Well, after these two roads are built, I will arrange a marriage for you when I return to Chengdu. By the way, do you have a girl you like?"

Speaking of this, Ma Wen became excited instantly. He raised his head and widened his eyes with excitement: "Yes, yes, yes, Zhang Xingcai, the second daughter of Marquis Huan!"

"..."

What? Stealing his wife with Liu Chan?

Ma Su looked up to the sky and was speechless for a moment, patted Ma Wen's still immature shoulder, and said sincerely: "Our family's conditions are limited, so you should work hard."

After that, he turned around and left with the great wizard.

The Qiang girl followed her step by step, and looked back at Ma Wen, who was in a daze, and asked curiously: "The eldest son is gentle, courteous, thrifty, and talented, but the general doesn't seem to be optimistic about this marriage?"

It’s not that I’m not optimistic about it, it’s that I’m in the wrong place.

This girl is the legitimate daughter of a high family after the Queen of Huan.

Even though I am already the governor of Yongzhou and the general of Zhenbei, if I am not granted the title of marquis, I will be in vain. Ma Su shook his head, picked up a withered yellow leaf, and handed it to his side.

"Great wizard, how many thorns do you think this leaf has?"

The Qiang girl took the yellow leaf and looked at it carefully, and said blankly: "General, this leaf has no thorns."

"No, count carefully. This leaf clearly has seven thorns."

The Qiang girl turned over and looked carefully again, confused.

Where is the thorn?

This leaf has no thorns!

At night, Ma Su checked himself and found that he was in good condition, energetic and energetic, so he dragged the wooden desk to a familiar position.

Lay out the brocade silk and pick up a hard pen.

Ready to start.

Although I have finished my work during the day, I still have a lot of work to do at night.

The first is to write a letter to Zhuge Liang, reporting on the progress of road construction, and attaching his attitude of setting off tomorrow.

In the past few days, Zhuge Liang had sent people to urge him several times. Ma Di deliberately dilly-dallyed and refused to return to Chengdu.

I can't put it off now.

The second is to do some modest contribution to the basic national policy of Shu Han.

In the middle of the night, after exerting his meager efforts again, Ma Su felt deeply tired.

Although he still wanted to continue working, he could no longer hold on physically and his spirit had reached rock bottom.

Must rest.

Otherwise, you will not be able to recover mentally the next day, and you will be too groggy to get on the road.

With these thoughts in mind, I turned over and lay back on the bed, blinking into sleep.

Combining work and rest is the greatest kindness to yourself.

the next day.

Ma Su opened his eyes and saw the warm sun shining on the outside of the tent, making the entire tent warm and full of spring colors.

Be in high spirits.

The recovery is pretty good.

After Ma Di hastily dealt with his personal issues, he came out of the tent and started a busy day of work.

First, he called a soldier and ordered him to send the letter he wrote last night to Chengdu.

He also summoned three major generals and Ma Wen, and ordered Zhang Xiu to immediately deal with the aftermath and gather troops and horses.

The three generals were startled when they heard this and thought something had happened. Zhang Xiu immediately whistled and called for a thousand elite soldiers stationed not far away to come over and control the situation.

It must be said that the soldiers' emergency response was very fast. In less than one stick of incense, a thousand-man team had already assembled.

Then, Zhang Xiu looked at Ma Su anxiously.

Ma Su waved his hand: "You will set off immediately with me to return to Chengdu. Huang Xi and Li Sheng will stay behind to assist Ma Wen in building roads. Until a successor is trained, you two will be temporarily at Ma Wen's disposal."

The two generals looked at each other and saw the annoyance in each other's eyes, so they reluctantly stayed to build the road.

Zhang Xiu ordered the five hundred soldiers to turn north and march toward Chengdu.

Another five hundred soldiers were left at the construction site to assist Ma Wen.
