Ma Jun was busy in the mansion for several months, and it was not until September of the twenty-second year of Xiping that Ma Junfang handed over the machine that had been formed, and this technology, to the Houde Palace, and the new technology that the Son of Heaven had longed for for a long time was finally developed, and the Son of Heaven was very happy, however, he was not in a hurry to announce the news, and he did not even let the new technology be put into production immediately and began to print books.

The Son of Heaven seems to have other plans, Ma Jun doesn't care about these, the research and development is completed, he is already content, after so many days of busy work, he is already very tired, in the Houde Palace, he just gave the Son of Heaven a brief introduction to his new improvements, and then returned to the mansion to rest, and for the reward of the Son of Heaven, he also did not care. ::

After another six days, the Son of Heaven convened a court meeting.

The ministers are a little puzzled, there is nothing major happening in the court, why is the Son of Heaven suddenly about to hold a court meeting?? Isn't there something wrong with Yuan Shao's new strategy? ? Everyone thought in their hearts, gathered at the gate of the palace, the ministers gathered together, and they were also talking about the current situation and their views on the new policies, Yuan Shao stood aside alone, and did not pay attention to the rest of the ministers, it seemed that Yuan Shao was indeed a little tired.

The hair color is no longer as black and shiny as before, Yuan Shao wears a high mountain crown, covering his gray hair, and the part that is revealed still betrays him, telling everyone present that Sikong's condition is not as good as he shows, among the ministers, like Yuan Shao, there is also Guo Jia, Guo Jia has no energy to despise many ministers, his whole person is decadent, these days, Cao Cao has tired him enough, almost busy without looking up.

Only Cao Cao, when he came, was still radiant, without the slightest tiredness, and talked with Liu Bei with a smile, without the slightest inappropriateness, Guo Jia glared at him with some resentment, and stopped making a sound, and Yuan Shao was the same, looking at Liu Ba in the distance with some unkindness, there was some fierce light in his eyes, facing the gaze of the two of them, Cao Cao walked to Guo Jia's side with a smile, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile:

"Fengxiao, these days, it's really annoying you, but now, the selection of Lang and the like has also been completed, and the evaluation of the clans in various places has also begun, and you can also relax for a while, by the way, do you think that if I unite the four southern states, build a large number of water conservancy along the river, use forced labor on a large scale, and reclaim wasteland, can I change the decline in the south? ?" Cao Cao asked.

Guo Jia's lips trembled slightly, raised his head, and looked at Cao Cao with some blankness, he shook his head and said, "Gong Cao, forget it, this strategy has no effect." ”

"It's useless?? Yes, if the temple invests too much in the south, the policy of the north will not be implemented," Cao Cao said, nodding his head.

Not to mention these two people, Jimin Ling Liu Ba, has been doing very well recently, ranked in Jiuqing, and successfully became a clan, he can be said to have ascended to the sky in one step, from a small official, suddenly became a big celebrity in Luoyang, many people have sent congratulatory gifts, come to make friends, and many come to climb relatives, or want to marry, Liu Ba is not proud of his success, however, he knows that if he wants to sit in this position, he can't offend these people.

He didn't accept the congratulatory gift, but he came to meet and make friends, he was also a very gentle reception, there was no rudeness, but with Yuan Shao, the relationship was getting worse and worse, Yuan Shao's beating that day, let him never forget, but helpless, no chance, at this moment, seeing Yuan Shao's gaze, he felt a lot better, and was still thinking, in the future, I still have to come up with a few strategies!!

Everyone gathered, and the time had come, and Cao Cao led everyone into the palace.

Hua Xiong still entangled Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei had a black face, ignoring this guy, Hua Xiong didn't care about his indifference, or chatting enthusiastically, those who didn't know around looked at it, and really thought that these two people were friends of eight worships, entered the main hall, everyone sat down, and it didn't take long for the Son of Heaven to appear on the top, everyone greeted, the Son of Heaven returned the salute, everyone sat down, the Son of Heaven smiled, and looked very happy.

"Zhong Aiqing, can there be a play?" The Son of Heaven asked.

When he asked, Situ Cao Cao immediately got up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a performance!" ”

"Your Majesty, the policy of deliberation has been completed, and the commentator appointed by the minister is selecting the families from all over the country and giving them honors, but at the same time as they won the honor, the minister thought of one place, that is, this Jimintai, Jimintai was newly established, and there is no strength to help the people, and the treasury is also extremely empty, so it may make each family send a person to serve in Jimintai, from Liu Jun's order, for the country and the people!!"

As soon as Cao Cao spoke, everyone knew that something was wrong, as early as when Cao Cao gathered them, Cao Cao had already revealed the meaning of this aspect, and they had already prepared for it, but they didn't expect that this moment would come so quickly, the big clan did not send people into Jimintai, but sent money into Jimintai, they continued to make friends with Liu Ba these days, and it was also out of this intention that today's Jimintai does not seem to be a high-ranking mansion.

But gradually, after having the right to claim the big clan, the position of Jimin Ling will become extremely important, so it is very correct to befriend Liu Ba, they also know a little bit about Liu Ba's personality, Liu Ba this person, although he was born in a big family, but on weekdays, he is very thrifty, this degree of frugality is only lower than Wen Ren's attack and Ma Jun, in addition, he is also a very honest official, the gifts sent by the big clans in private, he didn't ask for any of them, so private, no one can detect it, and he didn't ask for it.

These points have the characteristics of a good official, but they also make the family a little uneasy.

After Cao Cao's proposal, Liu Ba thought thoughtfully, he seemed to understand why there were so many people who came to make friends these days, he looked at Cao Cao in the distance, smiled and nodded.

The Son of Heaven said: "Yes", as he spoke, he looked at Liu Ba again, and said: "Liu Qing, you have to do these things well, these big clans are loyal and good to the country, and you can't be rude to them", as he spoke, he looked at the ministers around him, and then said: "I originally wanted to let Man Favor take this position, seeing that you are so talented, I just let you take the position, you have to do it well, if you don't do it well, I will let Man Pet take over you!" ”

The Son of Heaven said, it seems to be warning Liu Ba, Liu Ba is also in awe, but these ministers know in their hearts, where is this beating Liu Ba, this is clearly threatening us, if you cooperate well, I will let Liu Ba to squeeze you, if you don't cooperate, then full of favor to the Zhu clan, the ministers thought for a moment, when they looked at Liu Ba again, they suddenly felt that this guy is still quite good, we should be content.

If this is to be filled with favors, he will take office one moment and be beheaded the next moment.

Seeing that the group surrendered softly, the Son of Heaven didn't say anything, he smiled and said: "I have something to show all Aiqing!" He said, waved his hand, and suddenly there was a yellow door carrying a heavy object, slowly walked into the hall, put it in the hall, saw this new and strange thing, the ministers were a little curious, the smart people have already associated this thing with Ma Jun, they are all a little dazed.

Even when the crossbow was born, I didn't see the Son of Heaven so excited, what is the purpose of this thing?

They thought in their hearts, Cao Cao was on the side, and he was also very curious, looked at Ma Jun on the opposite side, looked at Ma Jun's calm face, and already understood in their hearts that this was made by Ma Jun, and the first Cao Mengde was also very opposed to these things, he even smashed the love of the Son of Heaven, and was imprisoned for a few days, but now, after seeing Xiping Weaving Machine, Xiping Continuous Crossbow, Xiping Overturning and other things, he changed his mind.

Not all of these things are playthings, and some of them can also play an important role in the world.

Most of the ministers have such opinions, but they are very angry, only the old minister Cai Yong, maybe he is old, maybe he is too stubborn, but he has never changed his opinion, these are all playthings, the king should stay away from them, this kind of thought, rooted in Cai Yong's mind for decades, is not so easy to change, sure enough, before Zhang Fei could persuade him, the old man stood up angrily.

"Your Majesty!!"

"Is this what the minister of the country is called? Your Majesty has fun with these things on weekdays, and the minister hasn't said anything, but how can he take it out with the main hall?! Don't you want all the ministers of the country to be obsessed with this way, regardless of civil affairs, regardless of military, all of them should be craftsmen?! Cai Yong scolded unceremoniously, but the Son of Heaven was not angry, smiled, and asked, "Cai Gong thinks this thing is useless??" ”

"It's really useless, the important thing is people, how can things be more expensive than people? What about R&D overturning, if there are no officials who love the people like children and encourage agriculture, can the affairs of agriculture and mulberry be better because of the overturn? And what about repeating crossbows? If the soldiers are not elite, the generals are not heroic, and the crossbow is useless!! The minister just hopes that His Majesty can put his mind on the people and the talents, rather than all kinds of playthings!! ”

Hearing Cai Yong's words, the Son of Heaven pointed to the object and said, "Let Cai Gong take a look!" ”

Suddenly, the yellow door stepped forward and began to operate this thing, and everyone looked at it motionlessly, when the yellow door dipped the board in ink, put it into the utensils, and printed it, everyone naturally did not understand, but gradually, saw the same text content on a piece of white paper, which was picked up by the yellow door and given to the ministers respectively, and the ministers looked at the paper in their hands and fell into a sluggishness, and this thing actually had the purpose of copying???

And the most embarrassing thing is naturally Huaxiong.

"Guan Yu, the captain of the Northern Military Academy, borrowed a crossbow from Lianfa."

Hua Xiong secretly raised his head and looked into the distance, and sure enough, Guan Yu in the distance widened his eyes, when did I borrow a repeating crossbow??? How is this handwriting familiar? He raised his head abruptly and stared at Hua Xiong in the distance, Hua Xiong grinned and smiled a little awkwardly.

The most shocking thing was probably Cai Yong, Cai Yong's eyes widened, looked at the ones in his hand, and asked, "Can this thing copy articles??" ”

"If you can copy books, you don't need manpower, and within a month, you can print thousands of copies of a book, Cai Gong, do you think this is still a plaything?" Tianzi asked with a smile.

Cai Yong's face was red and trembling, but he turned his face away, snorted coldly, and sat down.

The Son of Heaven didn't care about this old stubbornness, looked at the ministers, and asked with a smile, "What do you think?" ”

ps: There will be a few more photos starting tomorrow, and I will officially start writing my graduation thesis next Monday, however, the old wolf promises that there will be at least one chapter a day, and I will never ask for leave, so don't worry.
