Chapter 336 Master Kong Ming

The historical evolution of Guanzhong cannot be said to be complicated.

After destroying the Qin Dynasty, in order to prevent the Gao Emperor from Hanzhong from going north, Xiang Yu appointed three former Qin generals as King Yong, King Sai, and King Zhai respectively to guard Guanzhong and northern Shaanxi. They were also known as the "Three Qin Kings" among the people. Later, they gradually became Place name reference.

During the reign of Emperor Wu, three official positions were established: Jing Zhaoyin, Zuo Fengyi, and You Fufeng. They were in charge of the east, west, and north directions of Chang'an respectively. They guarded the capital and assisted the king, so they were also called the three assistants.

Over time, the three official positions gradually became place names.

Fufeng is located to the west of Chang'an. The Wei River flows from west to east, and the Chengguo Canal diverts Wei water for irrigation. Although it is not an elite area in Guanzhong, it is still considered fertile farmland.

However, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the first year of Zhongping, the ambitious people in Yongliang have frequently attacked Guanzhong. As a result, Fufeng was the first to be crushed.

But now that Ma Jun is here, he can be considered as a meritorious and filial person.

After all, if two people didn't quickly break through Yangping Pass and conquer Hanzhong, the people in Guanzhong wouldn't have fled here.

If Ma Jun had not fled to Hanzhong, there would have been a war in Guanzhong, and it is still unclear whether he would have survived when the dust settled.

Thinking of this, Kong Ming sighed and felt even more fortunate:

"I am the military advisor general of the emperor's uncle, Zhuge Liang, courtesy name Kongming, from Yangdu, Langya."

Na Ma Jun nodded friendly, then paused, tapped the small model in his hand and said:

"Very wonderful."

After saying that, he picked up the chisel saw file and other tools on the side. It seemed that he wanted to try out the mechanism according to Kong Ming's instructions.

"Deheng rarely suffered from Jian (sounds the same as alkali) eating disease. Although it has recovered now, his words and conversation are still short." Fa Zheng explained beside him.

Stuttering is also commonly known as stuttering among the people.

Kong Ming nodded understandingly and watched several tools flying up and down in Ma Jun's hands. He sighed in his heart that he had such a pair of skillful hands. At the same time, he also wanted to see how good Ma Jun was.

Kong Ming could only propose an idea for improving the round car, but it didn't seem to be a problem for Ma Jun.

Use a fine saw to cut off a small piece on the wooden board, and then use a chisel to carve out a vague shape. The file slowly polished it, and sawdust scattered on Ma Jun's clothes and in his hair, but he was unaware of it and concentrated on operating the thing in his hand. Wooden piece of gear and allow it to gradually take shape.

Then he seemed to have a rough draft in his mind, and he began to work on the model with his chisel. He never hesitated every time he cut, as he seemed to have a rough draft in his mind.

Seeing Ma Jun's concentrated hand movements, Kong Ming's face gradually filled with satisfaction.

Finally, watching Ma Jun finish modifying the round car model in his hand and turning it with his hands to observe the effect, Kong Ming did not hesitate:

"Does Deheng want to come to Uncle Liu to study engineering?"

Because he still had something on his mind, Kong Ming was unusually direct:

"Under his command, Uncle Liu advocated engineering studies, emphasized arithmetic, studied the principles of things, and established regulations for engineering studies."

"In Jingzhou there is an institute of engineering that makes iron and giant boats, and in Yizhou there is an institute of engineering that turns into a sugar mill and paper mill. When Chang'an is restored, Taixue will start teaching engineering."

For Ma Jun, the excitement in his heart was simply indescribable when the puzzle that had been bothering him for many days was solved.

At this moment, listening to Kong Ming's talk, Ma Jun had a thought in his mind:

You really came to the right place in Hanzhong!

The continuous battles in Guanzhong last year made Fufeng, which had improved slightly, become even more dilapidated. At that time, the people of Fufeng simply looked around hesitantly:

Is it better to go east and join Cao's army and be made into a village by Prime Minister Cao?

Or should he flee west to Yongliang and live in peace under the iron heel of Han horses and Qiang people? Or go to Hanzhong and read the teachings of Rice Thieves?

But soon this problem was solved. Zhang Lu lost Hanzhong and fled to Chang'an, bringing first-hand news to the people of Sanfu:

Hanzhong was controlled by the Liu family again!

I heard that one of the heroes who drove away Zhang Lu was Fa Xiaozhi from the Fufeng Fa family!

With the combination of these two factors, the people of Fufeng quickly made a decision: there was nothing to say, they had to go south!

Ma Jun came to Hanzhong in such a confused situation. He thought he would just change the place to farm, but soon Ma Jun noticed the round carts that the soldiers had built along the Han River according to the drawings.

This design that allows the equipment to operate on its own with the help of flowing water made Ma Jun's eyes shine. Ma Jun also admired the exquisite structure of the joint operation of multiple equipment.

Through observation, research, and derivation using models, Ma Jun quickly figured out the principle of this circular car.

After volunteering to help the soldiers repair the round cart twice, Ma Jun also successfully came into Fazheng's sight and simply introduced him to Kongming today.

At this time, although Ma Jun didn't understand Kong Ming's words, he could still grasp the meaning accurately.

Work can be called learning! Instead of being ridiculed by those foolish officials in Chang'an!

That's enough!

Ma Jun wanted to say that he was so willing, but in his ecstasy, he became stumbling again when he spoke:

"I...I...I..."

This kind of situation made Fazheng feel very worried for this fellow countryman, and he wished he could take it personally.

Kong Ming smiled gently and told Ma Jun not to be nervous, and then took the initiative to start a topic:

"Deheng liked to study engineering when he was young?"

Ma Jun nodded vigorously.

"Has Deheng ever thought about the ultimate in engineering?"

When talking about this, Ma Jun's eyes became a little confused.

When it comes to discussing classics, his talent can only be said to be mediocre, and in these troubled times, the coming and going of princes is like wheat in the field, which makes people confused.

So Ma Jun could only immerse himself in work. Fortunately, he seemed to be quite talented in Gongqiaoyilu, and he could use it to help the countryside.

But, the ultimate in engineering...

Seeing Ma Jun's expression, Kong Ming simply added fuel to the fire.

There is no shortage of talents in military strategy and government affairs, but it is no exaggeration to say that they are eager to seek talents in engineering.

Didn’t you see that even Liu Ba had to learn about the manufacturing methods of Chengdu workshops to understand the general strategy, and learn mathematics and Mo Jing to teach the small imperial school?

"Human power is limited, but the power of engineering is infinite."

"Given time, why can't we rely on engineering to explore the universe, explore the underworld, circle the ocean and draw the world, and get closer to the power of ghosts and gods?"

Fa Zheng was thinking about the scenes of the future he saw, and he felt sympathetic.

But Kong Ming's words made Ma Jun more excited, and his stuttering became worse.

Fa Zheng simply said: "If Deheng is willing, just nod and follow Kong Ming."

So Ma Jun immediately nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Fa Zheng and Kong Ming smiled at each other, and without delay, turned around and said:

"Then follow me, I will take you to find Jiang Wei."

Jiang Wei was in a study room. Although his master had gone to Yongliang, Jiang Wei was not much relieved.

He had to exercise his body and study military books, and he could not fall behind in the classics.

The result was that although the class was over, Jiang Wei stayed here without moving, because he could still steal some free time.

After rolling his head on the desk for a few times out of boredom, little Jiang Wei suddenly clapped his hands, pulled out a piece of paper, and wrote down the three words "Jiang Boyue" neatly.

I have a courtesy name!

Little Jiang Wei held his chin up, not knowing what Master Fengchu thought, taking a courtesy name so early.

But when he thought that his master had gone to his hometown and left him here, little Jiang Wei felt quite indignant.

He hadn't put down the pen in his hand yet, and after recalling it, he simply wrote the two words "Pang Shiyuan" neatly.

Then Fa Zheng's serious face also emerged in Xiao Jiang Wei's heart. After hesitating for a while, the three words "Fa Xiaozhi" also jumped onto the paper.

With a pursed mouth, Xiao Jiang Wei felt that this master was becoming more and more casual. He thought that he had a good idea to choose a courtesy name so early, but it turned out to be a very common courtesy name of "Bo Zhong Shu Ji".

However, do I still have a master?

Xiao Jiang Wei scratched his head and remembered the name that was always on the lips of Master Fengchu, and wrote it down neatly:

Zhuge Kongming.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Xiao Jiang Wei immediately jumped off the chair with the book on his head, while loudly defending:

"Captain Huang, I just asked the teacher some questions, and I have no intention of slacking off!"

Then Xiao Jiang Wei heard a chuckle.

He knew most of the people in Hanzhong Prefecture, so he was familiar with their voices.

Xiao Jiang Wei was sure that he was hearing a strange voice now.

So he moved the book that was blocking his head away, looked up carefully, and saw a handsome man. Fa Zheng, who was half a master in his mind, was beside him, looking at him helplessly.

There was also a young man behind the two of them, who was only a young man, and seemed to be thinking about something, and his attention was obviously not here.

But... the leader was as strange as the master. It was obviously a little cold at this time, but he was holding a feather fan like Master Fengchu all the time.

However, this feather fan did not look abrupt in his hand, but instead set off a warm and jade-like extraordinary feeling.

Kong Ming waved his hand to signal Fa Zheng not to speak, squatted down to make his eyes level with Xiao Jiang Wei, and said with a smile:

"I am Zhuge Kong Ming, your master."

Xiao Jiang Wei's eyebrows almost rose to the top of his head:

"Are you my master who can scold people to death and knows Taoism?"

Xiao Jiang Wei saw that the serious expression on the face of half of his master Fa Zheng disappeared in an instant, and he looked like he wanted to laugh out loud.

The expression on the face of Master Kong Ming, who was squatting in front of him, also collapsed for a moment, but he quickly adjusted himself:

"These are all jokes by Shi Yuan, don't take them seriously."

Shaking his head, Kong Ming temporarily noted this in his mind, and then turned around and began to ask Xiao Jiang Wei about his schoolwork.

But this question made him shake his head a little, perhaps because Pang Tong himself was not here, Xiao Jiang Wei's schoolwork was packed full.

There were arrangements from sunrise to sunset, and even physical exercise before going to bed at night.

"Go on with your morning classes as usual, and come find me after lunch."

So Jiang Wei immediately forgot about Master Fengchu in the distance:

"Master, it's time for lunch now, shall I take you to get your food?"

"Master, what are we going to do in the afternoon?"

Behind the Hanzhong government office, Huang Quan looked at the sun that had passed the center line, and then looked at the empty martial arts arena in front of him, feeling a little depressed:

"Jiang Wei, that kid!"

Chapter 2 is getting late, so you guys don't have to wait.
