Meeting with Ruan Ji, for Cao Liang, it was purely an accident, the so-called seven sons of Jian'an, or the seven sages of the bamboo forest, in Cao Liang's impression, bathing is the product of mutual praise between the big families, maybe these people have some real talents, but it's okay to talk about learning and talking about Taoism, get some poetry and songs, or something, if you really want them to participate in politics, it is slightly not good.

However, the four words Ruan Ji said about sticking to his heart still touched Cao Liang a lot, life in this world, surrounded by the world, the most difficult thing is to stick to his heart.

People are the most fickle, striving for fame and fortune, grabbing power and position, sometimes in order to pursue interests, they often succumb to reality and have to bow their heads and bend their waists, perhaps they have long forgotten what the original intention was.

In a sense, the thoughts in Cao Liang's mind coincide with Ruan Ji, and the greatest limit is the pursuit of freedom, which is what they have in common, but Cao Liang's actions are all within the scope of reason, while Ruan Ji is wild and uninhibited, he wantonly tramples on the etiquette and law that everyone abides by in this era, and naturally cannot be tolerated in the scholar class.

Ruan Ji's life has been bumpy, naturally closely related to his character and behavior, although Cao Liang sympathizes with his circumstances, but he is powerless to change anything, many times, Ruan Ji's situation is completely self-inflicted, and he did not fall into the fate of being killed like Ji Kang, in fact, Ruan Ji is already considered lucky.

Cao Liang is eager for talents, but people like Ruan Ji, including Liu Ling, are not the goal he chases, what he needs is the kind of talent who can govern the country and be safe, not this kind of rhetorical, grotesque, and unconventional maniacs, such talents, Cao Liang feels that he may not be able to control them.

Out of the hotel, Cao Liang gently exhaled a breath of turbidity, and Ruan Ji talked, the biggest gain is to stick to the four words of the heart, travel to this era, it has been almost two years, experienced all kinds of tribulations, Cao Liang in the integration of this era at the same time, but also gradually succumbed to the etiquette of this era.

Cao Liang was very distressed by his parents' disapproval of his marriage to Yang Huiyu, and he didn't even know where to go next, because he didn't want to be the disobedient son of his parents, let alone live up to Yang Huiyu's affection.

This seemingly irreconcilable contradiction made Cao Liang in a dilemma, and Ruan Ji's four-character mantra made him wake up suddenly, yes, everything in the world may not be as expected, and in the case of not being able to have the best of both worlds, sticking to one's heart is the most important thing.

For a moment, he seemed to have made a decision, and following his heart's thoughts was the most important thing.

Cao Liang went to the Grange next, and since the production of repeater crossbows had stopped, the Grange seemed very quiet, and the villagers could just keep their duty and take care of the fields.

It was early winter, the crops of the grange have been harvested into the warehouse, with the keel waterwheel built by Ma Jun, thousands of acres of land in Caojia Grange have become good watered land, the average grain yield per mu is several percent higher than last year, in the case of poor harvest in the surrounding land of Luoyang because of weather reasons, Caojia Grange has not been affected at all, and has obtained a bumper harvest.

The cattle steward was full of praise for the keel waterwheel, and said to Cao Liang that without these newly built waterwheels, Caojia Grange would not have the current bumper harvest. The cattle steward also hopes to build more keel waterwheels next year, and convert all the dry land of the Grange into irrigated land, so that next year's harvest on the Grange can rise again.

Cao Liang is still very supportive of his ideas, and after tasting the sweetness of science and technology, they have the desire to further learn and use technology products.

The keel waterwheel is just a simple machine, but it can significantly increase grain production, if the keel waterwheel is widely promoted throughout the country, then it will open up a new way to solve the problem of famine in the world.

However, the disregard for science in this era made it difficult to promote the keel waterwheel, and Cao Liang also applied it to his own grange at most, more Luoyang land and even the land of the world, and the application was Liao Liao.

There is still a long way to go to improve the productivity of agriculture.

Cao Liang looked at the repeaters stored in the secret cellar, these repeaters were lying here quietly, which made Cao Liang feel a lot of emotion, if he could bring these repeaters on this expedition, whether it was a breakthrough battle or a defense battle, it would definitely be very easy.

But at present, Cao Liang can't make these crossbows public to the world, once they are born, they will inevitably make the people of the Sima family red, even if they don't take it by force, if they are on guard, it is not a good thing for Cao Liang, the secret weapon must be used in the most suitable place to play a decisive role, so that it can be called a secret weapon.

If it had been made public as soon as possible, it would obviously not have been able to be called a secret weapon, nor would it have been a killer weapon against the Sima family.

Cao Liang is still very attentive to the training of crossbowmen, last year when building the crossbow, Cao Liang asked the cow steward to organize a crossbow team, familiar with and master the use of the crossbow, and said that it cultivated a hunting team.

A team of one or two hundred people is not uncommon in Luoyang City, and some wealthy families have thousands of private armed forces at every turn.

The Gaoling Marquis Mansion is also a famous family, and it is not a big deal to train a few hundred private soldiers, so Cao Liang asked the Niu Steward to select two hundred strong family members from Zhuang Ding to specialize in the training of crossbows.

After more than half a year of training, the results of the repeater team were good, and Cao Liang also deliberately selected dozens of repeaters for testing.

Looking at their skillful drills and accurate shooting, Cao Liang was secretly relieved, this crossbow team can be regarded as a secret weapon of Cao Liang, and it is not useful now, but in the future, at the most critical time, this is a new force.

The confrontation with the Sima family will be a long-term and arduous task, Cao Liang is now taking precautions, as much as possible to cultivate his own strength, although compared with the Sima family's three thousand dead soldiers, this strength seems a little insignificant, but Cao Liang firmly believes that as long as he perseveres and takes the route of elite soldiers, he will definitely be able to make up for the lack of quantity, and with the crossbow this big killing weapon, it is enough to compete with the Sima family.

The crossbow team initially formed a combat effectiveness, which made Cao Liang secretly happy, and he once again told the cattle manager that when he was training the repeater team, he should pay attention to confidentiality and not let the news leak out, especially the samples of the repeater crossbow, which must not fall into the hands of others.

Steward Niu nodded again and again, obeying Cao Liang's orders.
