Wu Mu's Will, a legendary top-notch art of war that had already been lost.
Ma Feng studied the other uses of the system.
He found a shop in the system.
After opening the mall, the items inside were even more dazzling.
There were many books of various types.
Food planting, herbs, military tactics, spear techniques, sword techniques, saber techniques, iron smelting techniques, and so on…
However, the items in the mall needed to be exchanged with Honor Points.
However, Ma Feng's current Honor Points were 0, so he could not exchange them at all.
He reckoned that he would have to complete some system mission or something to obtain Honor Points…
After studying the system, Ma Feng fell asleep in a daze.
The next day, Ma Feng was woken up by a stench.
When she woke up, she saw that his skin was black.
After taking a bath, Ma Feng realized that his strength had increased, and his skin had become smoother and more delicate.
Ma Feng knew what was going on. It seemed like this was the so-called 'body-forging'.
……
In the following period of time, Ma Feng studied Wu Mu's Will while thinking about what he should do in the future.
With the system in hand, the world was mine?
Don't talk nonsense. From the looks of it now, his system was no different from a chicken rib. He still had to rely on himself.
According to historical records, Ma Teng was a duke.
However, he had always been suppressed by Han Sui, and they had loved and killed each other for many years.
Even if he wanted to conquer the world, he was powerless.
The first priority was to kill Han Sui and unify Liangzhou and the three auxiliary regions. Only then could they talk about conquering the world.
As for Han Sui, the Han family was a famous aristocratic family in Jin City. They were wealthy, had food, and had status.
In terms of status, in terms of starting point, Ma Teng was too far behind.
There were still eight years before the Yellow Turban Uprising. Ma Feng wanted to do everything he could to make the Ma Family stronger.
If he wanted to recruit people, he had to have money and food.
Liangzhou was a bitter and cold place. How could it be easy for an ordinary family to develop?
The poverty of Liangzhou was not something that ordinary people could imagine.
Why had there been so many rebellions in Liangzhou in the past hundred years?
Did the Qiang people really like to cause trouble that much?
It was all because of hunger.
They would either starve to death or rebel.
The Qiang were a half-nomadic, half-farming people who surrendered during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
During the Western Han Dynasty, it was quite stable because one could eat their fill.
As an ordinary person, as long as they could eat their fill, would the mutton taste bad or the woman in bed not be delicious?
Who had nothing better to do than to do business with their heads tied to their waists?
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Qiang people were bullied, especially the officials of the Central Plains. They simply did not treat the Qiang people as humans.
The selection of officials in the Eastern Han Dynasty was based on filial piety and honesty, and it was a system of exchange.
In other words, officials would not be local officials.
From the county magistrate to the prefect and provincial governor, all the officials of Liangzhou came from the east of the country.
The nobles in the east of the country had a sense of superiority. They looked down on the poor places in Liangzhou and looked down on the people of Liangzhou.
As long as they were officials in Liangzhou, they would try their best to earn money to build relationships and transfer them away as soon as possible.
The officials and businessmen colluded with the wealthy families, and the people who were exploited were naturally the ordinary people.
On the other hand, it was the economic aspect.
The land in Liangzhou was rather barren, and the water source was not as abundant as that in the east.
The few fertile fields were all in the hands of the noble families and gentry clans.
Ordinary people could not support their families by farming.
What was the other important economic pillar of Liangzhou? Sheep and horses.
During the Western Han Dynasty, the capital was in Chang 'an, and Guanzhong was the most prosperous place with many aristocratic families.
The small Guanzhong had a population of nearly five million.
Guanzhong was rich, and it could drive the economy of Liangzhou.
Liangzhou's sheepskin, mutton, and horses could all be sold to Guanzhong, which was the closest to them.
Especially the tall horses of Liangzhou. Every noble son of Guanzhong was proud to have a Liangzhou horse. It was a great weapon to show off.
It was similar to the current supercar, every man's dream.
The decline of Guanzhong began when the Western Han and Eastern Han replaced each other.
After the war between Liu Xiu and Wang Mang, as well as the Red Eyebrows Rebellion, the Guanzhong region had never recovered.
Guanzhong, which originally had a population of nearly five million, had less than a million people left in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
In addition, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty was Luoyang, and Liu Xiu was from Nanyang.
The economic center of the Eastern Han Dynasty shifted to the east of the country, and Guanzhong, Liangzhou, and other areas of the west of the country became stepmothers.
The economy of the Kanto region had declined, and its digestive ability was limited.
As a result, the sheepskin and horses of Liangzhou could not be sold. Even if they were sold, the people of Liangzhou were getting poorer and poorer due to the collusion between officials and merchants and the huge increase in transportation costs.
An adult big horse from Liangzhou could be sold for ten thousand yuan in the east of the country and could be exchanged for a hundred catties of grain.
A hundred sheepskins could be sold for 5,000 gold coins, which was equivalent to 50 catties of grain.
(A load of grain is about 120 catties, which is worth more than 100 coins. It's equivalent to five baht coins for a catty of grain. A horse can be exchanged for 10,000 catties of grain.)）
When merchants bought in Liangzhou, it also varied from person to person.
A horse was worth five thousand yuan to a Han, and a hundred sheepskins were worth three thousand yuan.
The price given to the Qiang people was three thousand yuan for a horse and one hundred sheepskins for one thousand five hundred yuan.
The horses raised by the Han people were all recorded, just like cattle. If they wanted to buy or sell, they had to report in advance.
The Qiang people had no household registration, and there was no record of their horses.
Merchants, officials, and tyrants were all scamming the Qiang people.
In addition, the price of grain in Liangzhou was expensive. In the east of the country, it cost more than 100 yuan to buy a load of grain. In Liangzhou, it cost more than 300 yuan a load of grain.
A horse needed to be raised for three to four years before it reached adulthood. A horse could only be exchanged for ten catties of grain, and a hundred sheepskins could only be exchanged for five catties of grain. It was not enough to eat at all.
And Ma Feng was interested in this business.
