Liu Xi originally wanted to pull Ma Jun to say more about the newspaper, but Ma Jun obviously didn't want to stay here longer, he was not in a very good mood, Xing Gong had an unusual meaning with these old ministers, Ma Jun also wanted to visit him, of course, Xizhou could not go, and he could only go to the Martyrs' Hall, Liu Xi did not keep him anymore, Ma Jun worshipped, and then left, sent Ma Jun away, Liu Xi thought about it himself.

With the art of printing, it is not difficult for the temple to set up a mansion bag in various places, but the territory of the Han Dynasty is too vast, and I am afraid that the newspaper of this month in Luoyang has passed three or four months when it reaches some remote places, but this has no effect, anyway, the decree conveyed to the officials in various places still has to be transmitted through the post station, and the people can probably know what is happening, and there is no need to pay attention to the actual effect.

But who exactly is going to preside over it?

Being trustworthy and having the ability in this area, Liu Xi couldn't help but think about it.

After Ma Jun walked out of the palace, he immediately went to the Martyrs' Hall, and sure enough, Xing Gong had already entered the Martyrs' Hall.

Ma Jun stayed in for a long time, until the soldiers stationed here reminded him that he should also leave, rode the thin horse that was unwilling to give up, and slowly and leisurely rushed towards the Jiangzuofu, which was outside the city, and there was still some distance from the county seat, but the expansion of these years has made the Jiangzuofu surrounded by groups of houses, and when Ma Jun arrived at the gate of the Jiangzuofu, he saw the soldiers standing outside the door.

Ma Jun frowned, hurriedly dismounted, led the thin horse and walked towards the gate of the general's house, just walked to the door, the soldier door was to bow to him, not waiting for Ma Jun to return the salute, he stepped forward to take the reins in his hand, Ma Jun shouted in horror: "What are you going to do!" I'm going to be a master!! I am two thousand stones!! The soldier was stunned for a moment, and said helplessly: "We are going to lead the horse for Ma Gong...."

Ma Jun calmed down at this time, but he still looked at them with some suspicion, at this time, a general came from behind, bowed to him, and said: "Meet Ma Gong, we are the county officials, and we are ordered to protect Situ Gong, as for here!" Ma Jun nodded, handed the thin horse to them, and walked into the courtyard, but before he could enter, he heard a heroic laugh.

In the distance, a group of craftsmen were laughing, as if they were hugging someone.

Sure enough, when Ma Jun walked in, he saw Cao Cao with a smile on his face, he sat among these craftsmen, he didn't dislike the unpleasant smell on their bodies at all, and even ignored the dirt on the ground, he knelt down directly, a group of craftsmen surrounded him, talking to him about something, Ma Jun frowned, he didn't know why Situ came here, but he knew that this Situ's reputation among the people was not very good.

What he did in Jingzhou was spread by people with a heart, and Ma Jun also heard about it, in short, this is a mustard life, for the sake of political achievements, a wicked person who can sacrifice everything, for such a person, Ma Jun does not want to have too much contact, and even, he doesn't want these craftsmen to say anything more to him, it is said that this person is moody, most of these craftsmen are simple and honest, if he says something wrong, he is angry, then it will be a disaster.

"What are you doing here?? Don't go about your own business yet!! Ma Jun suddenly shouted loudly, the craftsmen around him were startled, turned their heads to look, it was Ma Jun, and hurriedly saluted to see him, Cao Cao was also stunned, and slowly stood up, Ma Jun looked at them irritably, waved his hand, and shouted: "Go and do your own business!" The car and ship will continue to improve!! This is His Majesty's command! ”

Hearing this, the craftsmen hurriedly left, and they didn't know why Ma Gong, who had always been amiable, was so irritable today.

Cao Cao patted the dust on his body unhurriedly, Ma Jun stepped forward and bowed to him, and then said with a smile: "I don't know if Situ Gong came, the reception was not good, and I hope I don't blame him...."

"Alas, what are these words! I don't tell you, how can I blame you? ”

"In that case, then I'll go and get busy first..."

"Wait..."Cao Cao stopped Ma Jun, who wanted to leave, walked to his side, and asked a little seriously: "Ma Gong, do I look extremely ugly, weird-looking, so terrifying?" ”

Ma Jun hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Actually, it's not that ugly...", Cao Cao was obviously stunned for a moment, Fang Cai smiled awkwardly, and said: "Ma Gong is really a masterpiece among people... It's so honest... Very good, not bad..."

"I don't know what happened when Situ Gong came?"

Cao Cao pulled Ma Jun and sat down, the two sat facing each other, Cao Cao said solemnly: "Ma Gong, I came to you this time, I am here for business... I've always wanted to find Ma Gong, I want to get married with you, but ah, I've been away for a long time, and I really don't have a chance to come back, I just came back, and I want to come and meet Ma Gong...", Ma Jun nodded and said: "I feel honored to be so valued by Cao Gong." ”

Cao Cao heard the estrangement in his words, he shook his head, and said: "I understand, Ma Gong is still very defensive against me, I think I have bad intentions, and I have other intentions, but Ma Gong may not know, this time I dug a canal in Jingzhou, using the sharp weapons sent by the Zuofu, I may not be very good at this kind of thing before, but I have seen the role of these items, some can be convenient for sound transmission, and some are convenient for people to dig soil and transport.."

"The wheelbarrow built by Ma Gong is really easy to use, amazing..."

"It was built by the general Zuofu, not by me..."Ma Jun said, still thinking that he couldn't be deceived by this guy's words, and he must be a little wary of him, Ma Jun was thinking about it, Cao Cao suddenly asked: "I heard that Ma Gong's new ship is equipped with wheels, I don't know how the wheels can play a role in the ship?" Underwater and landless? When Cao Cao asked, Ma Ke couldn't sit still.

At that time, he began to talk about the principle, composition, and inspiration of the car and boat, and he couldn't stop at all, Cao Cao was also happy to listen, nodding his head from time to time, as if he understood, Ma Jun said very happily, under normal circumstances, there really no one would listen to his explanation, after all, the craftsmen around him didn't need him to explain, and usually when he told the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven only valued the role, not the principle, the process or something.

The two of them chatted very happily, and Cao Cao said with a smile: "I see! Ma Gong is talented! ”

Ma Jun smiled and said nothing.

"Ma Gong must have seen it, I am different from others, they have a lot of disdain for the government, but they don't know the truth, the past system will now usher in new changes, not to mention the items? I attach great importance to these, I think ah, this little general's mansion can play a role that a hundred three princes can't compare! Ma Gong! Cao Cao's expression became a little serious.

"I will order tomorrow that the renovation will be completed, and I will strongly encourage these craftsmen, but those who can make new items will be rewarded with ten gold! The greater the effect, the greater the reward! I can give you all the land and the land! In addition, I hope that you can absorb more craftsmen, don't hide your own skills, share them with them, and bring out more disciples, and I will make the Shosaku completely usher in a revitalization!! ”

"I'll go back tonight to think about the rest of the policies, and I'll officially order them tomorrow."

Looking at Cao Cao in front of him, Ma Jun was stunned, he was stunned for a long time before asking, "Why is this?" ”

"Hahaha, naturally for the big man, a small farm tool, can help millions of farmers, if the house can be expanded, more craftsmen, more investment, the role will naturally be greater! This car and ship was built, the wealth brought to the Han Dynasty, the benefits that can be obtained, are countless, you can rest assured, I am not a righteous gentleman, nor will I pursue Confucianism like them, I am a traitor, what I see is the benefit, will be the government can bring benefits, then I will do my best to support! ”

Ma Jun looked at Cao Cao in front of him, got up suddenly, bowed to him, and said, "Thank you Situ Gong!" ”

"Don't thank me, since I help you, you have to reciprocate, I hope that in the future, the government will be able to make more good things, ordnance, agricultural tools, vehicles and ships, whatever it is, I will be very happy, I will be the second to know how to use!" , Cao Cao said, Ma Jun nodded cautiously, and said with some emotion: "In the past, I once lent a puppet that moves by water power to Emperor Xiaoxian to see, but as a result, Cao Situ entered the palace and destroyed all these items..."

"Because of this incident, I was still a little dissatisfied with Cao Gong in my heart, but today I realized that Emperor Xiaoxian did not punish Situ Gong for a reason at that time... Cao Gong, just leave the affairs of the mansion to me, and I will definitely not disappoint Cao Gong's high expectations! ”

Ma Jun no longer had any hostility towards Cao Cao, took Cao Cao to visit the entire Jiangzuo Mansion, and showed him some achievements in the near future, Cao Cao was also very happy, turned around, and then said goodbye to Ma Jun and left the Jiangzuo Mansion.

Returned to the mansion, Cao Cao did not rest, directly began to write the recital, after a formal visit to the mansion, he wanted to support the mansion in his heart The idea of the mansion is even stronger, he can think that the mansion will play an unparalleled role in the years to come, Ma Jun has been studying a strange item in the near future, it is said that he saw some alchemy priests blow up the furnace, and he was inspired, so he began to study it.

And every time he delved into the study, Ma Jun would ask the participants to write a suicide note, which could come in handy if something happened.

Within five years, nearly 60 craftsmen have died in various R&D accidents, some were blown up, some were crushed to death... Cao Cao looked at the list, he felt a little unbearable, Ma Jun is also fateful, for so many years, he has personally led everyone to handle it, although he is extremely cautious, but he has also been injured, and his right hand is missing two fingers.

Alas, I should have thought about supporting them a long time ago.

Cao Cao let out a long sigh.
