Chapter 389 The Way of the Emperor

"Doctor Sun, can Uncle Ma's disease be cured?" Li Xiu asked Sun Simiao with concern in the shaking carriage.??

Hearing Li Xiu's inquiry, Sun Simiao, who was taking Ma Master's vein, finally withdrew his hand. After pondering for a moment, he shook his head and said, "General Ma, you are already in old age, and you are not young anymore, and your qi and blood have declined. If you were just injured or younger, you might have hope of healing, but now..."

Sun Simiao did not continue to talk at the end, and Li Xiu couldn't help but show a disappointed expression when he heard this. Ma Master lost his qualification to be a father due to injury. It just so happened that Sun Simiao went to Chang'an with them today, so he wanted Sun Simiao to help Ma Master see it. Maybe there was a way, but now it seems that he is helpless.

"Haha, everyone has their own destiny. Just like Master Sun, you said, I might have the intention to cure diseases when I was young, but now I am old, I am also open-minded. Since God is destined to leave me without a descendant, it is probably because I killed too many people, so God was punished because he couldn't see me!" Ma Jun smiled freely and casually.

In fact, Ma Ye didn't plan to see Sun Simiao for treatment, but Li Xiu's kindness was too good to refuse, but now even Sun Simiao has no choice, so he has completely lost his heart.

"General Ma is open-minded, I admire him!" Sun Simiao heard Ma say this, and immediately said with a smile. He has been practicing medicine for many years and rarely saw patients as open-minded as Ma.

"Haha, Taoist Master Sun is too good. Ma is a rough man and doesn't understand any great principles. He just came through life and death on the battlefield, so he took some things indifferently. Speaking of which, I have been reading some Taoist books for a while, but I don't know some things very well. I wonder if I can ask Master Sun for advice?" Ma said with a free and easy smile at this time.

"Oh? General Ma also likes Taoist books?" Sun Simiao couldn't help but say even more surprised when he heard this.

Seeing Sun Simiao and Ma Ye discussing issues such as practicing Taoism, Li Xiu couldn't help looking out the window helplessly because he couldn't understand these things at all and couldn't even get into the mouth.

Yesterday, Mr. Ma informed Li Xiu that he would visit Qin Qiong together, because it was said that Qin Qiong was sick and was not very ill. Sun Simiao also agreed to go to the palace to treat Changsun's medicine, so Li Xiu asked Sun Simiao to walk with them and go to treat Qin Qiong by the way.

Ma Ye and Sun Simiao were discussing the hot topic. He was bored when he talked about it. Since he handed over the Feinuwei and the Women's Army was also incorporated, Ma Ye became a general with no power. He had nothing to do in normal times. As a result, he really fell in love with Taoism. Of course, this Taoism is different from the legendary Taoism. At most, it is meditation and quietness, chanting Taoism, etc. If he really went to eat some messy "immortal pills", Li Xiu would have stopped it long ago.

Bored, Li Xiu turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window, and saw that there was a bright spring outside, and there were busy farmers everywhere in the farmland. Not long after they left the courtyard, they were surrounded by Princess Pingyang's land, and the fields were planted with tall corn or lush sweet potatoes. Looking at these high-yield crops that were growing well, Li Xiu estimated that by next year, these crops could be promoted around Chang'an, and then occupied Guanzhong, and then radiated from Guanzhong to all parts of the country.

At this moment, Li Xiu and his other carriage passed by Wuzhizhuang. In fact, when Ma Ye selected a location for Wuzhizhuang, he had already considered many aspects. First, the village was close to the riverside and was more convenient to get water, and second, the terrain was also high, so there was no need to worry about the river water rising sharply. Third, it was very convenient to get close to the official road.

Yesterday, Ma Ye said that Wuzhizhuang had been built almost the same, and Li Xiu had not been available for this period of time, so he looked at Wuzhizhuang carefully. He saw that the terrain of the five cottages was narrow and irregular, and the houses were also arranged in an orderly manner according to the terrain. Each yard was about the same size. The only pity was that the houses in the yard were built a little simple, with only one main hall and two straw sheds as kitchens and toilets. They looked worse than the houses in Lijiazhuang.

"Uncle Ma, Wuzhizhuang lives in old brothers in the Women's Army. Are these houses a bit too simple?" Li Xiu turned his head and asked Master Ma. After all, these brothers have been following Princess Pingyang for many years, and he didn't want these people to be wronged.

"What a simple thing? These houses cannot be blown through and rainy. They are much better than the tents in the military camp. Moreover, it is already very difficult to build a yard with more than 2,000 people so quickly!" Mr. Ma glared at this time.

"Uncle Ma, these brothers are all moving their families. You can't compare the tents in the military camp with these yards, and we are not short of this money, right?" Li Xiu said with a wry smile when he heard Mr. Ma's words. He was also a little strange. In theory, with Mr. Ma's temperament, he shouldn't be so mean to these old brothers?

"Do you think I'm reluctant to spend that little money?" Ma Ye was a little angry when he heard this, "Boy, you really have to read military books when you have time, especially to learn the way of imperial guards. If you just build the best house for these brothers as you said, it's best that they can get money if they don't work. Do you think this is good to them, but in fact it's a harm to them. Why should people eat if they don't work?"

When he said this, Ma Ye paused for a moment and then said, "Actually, I deliberately built these yards a little simpler. I have told the old brothers in advance that if they want their family to live in a big house and eat fish every day, they should work hard and work hard. The wages paid by our caravan are not low, and everyone has dividends. As long as they work hard for a few months, it is easy to save some money to build a house, so that they will not throw all their money into the casino and women's crotch!"

After hearing Ma Ye’s lesson, Li Xiu almost slapped himself. After all, he was a management member in his previous life, he forgot such a simple truth, which made him hurriedly admit his mistake to Ma Ye. Ma Ye was not really angry, and then discussed the caravan with him. With the completion of Wuzhizhuang, the old brothers rushed home and moved their families here. When they came back, the caravan could be officially established.
