When Li Mu heard that the person in front of him called himself Ma Jun, he was overjoyed; When Li Mu was sure that the person in front of him was the most outstanding mechanical expert in the Three Kingdoms period, he was overjoyed! If this person can be recruited, then the military, handicraft, and agricultural equipment in Liangzhou will be greatly improved.

Ma Jun, the word Deheng, is a native of Fufeng County. He has stuttered since he was a child, but he is good at thinking, and he especially likes to delve into mechanical problems. Ma Jun's attainments in machinery are very deep. Militarily, he improved the Zhuge repeater and the stone cart, and developed a practical guide car. In the handicraft industry, he improved the water to a hundred operas and invented a new type of silk weaving machine. Agriculturally, he invented the keel waterwheel.

"Mr. Deheng is proficient in equipment development, and Li Mu has heard of it for a long time. Li Mu was very pleased to have the honor to meet Mr. today. Li Mu saluted Ma Jun and said with a smile: "I don't know if Mr. came to Ningcheng with his family...... Walking? Or visiting friends? ”

"Neither." Ma Jun was overjoyed when he saw Li Mu being such a courteous corporal, and hurriedly returned the salute, and said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that Liangzhou is prosperous under the governance of the Marquis of Ningcheng!" Ma Jun came with his family this time to visit Ningcheng. ”

"Oh......" Li Mu nodded, and then muttered, "Sir, is it still white?" ”

"Ma Jun has no strengths except for a little carpentry work, and he is still a grass farmer." Ma Jun saw that Li Mu intended to recruit him, so he said modestly.

"Mr. Deheng doesn't have to be too humble!" Li Mu saluted Ma Jun again, and said: "The so-called hearing of the Tao has a sequence, and there is a specialization in the art industry. Mr. Deheng is proficient in the development of equipment, and he is not an idle person! Right now, Liangzhou is waiting for a hundred wastes, and it is the need for a talent like Mr. Deheng! Is Mr. Deheng willing to deign to Liangzhou and show what he has learned in his life? ”

Ma Jun's wife, Liang, was overjoyed when she saw that Li Mu valued her husband so much, and hurriedly and quietly reached out and pushed Ma Jun, signaling Ma Jun to agree.

"Daddy, didn't you mean...... We came to Liangzhou to find you a carpenter to work? Ma Yi, who was playing with toys with Li Huang and Li Jiao, saw that his father didn't reply, so he hurriedly shook Ma Jun's arm and begged: "Let's stay here as a family...... The lanterns, food, and many other things here are better than ours. Stay here...... The kid has two more playmates! ”

"Ma Jun, thank Ning Chenghou for his love!" It was not that Ma Jun hesitated, but Li Mu's sincere invitation made him so surprised that he forgot to reply for a while. Ma Jun hurriedly threw Li Mu to the ground, then touched the ground with one knee, and said with a straight face: "Thank you for the attention of Ming Gong!" Ma Jun is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses! Lord, please accept the next bow! ”

"Good!" Li Mu was overjoyed when he saw that Ma Jun was willing to serve, and hurriedly helped Ma Jun with both hands, gave another salute, and laughed loudly: "Deheng is willing to serve me Li Mu, which is really Li Mu's luck, and the luck of the people of Liangzhou!" From now on, Deheng can serve under Shi Zhangji. Liangzhou's instrument manufacturing can be fully responsible for Deheng! ”

"The lord knows the grace of the encounter, and Ma Jun will not dare to forget it until he dies!" Ma Jun was very moved in his heart, and hurriedly thanked him: "Ma Jun must do his best to live up to the high expectations of the lord!" ”

"Tonight is the Lantern Festival, we will not talk about official business for the time being, only talk about the feelings of colleagues." Li Mu nodded, and said loudly: "After tonight, when Deheng officially takes office, I will discuss the equipment manufacturing with Deheng in detail." ”

Ma Jun saw that Li Mu was so sympathetic to him, and his heart was not only described by the word moved. Ma Jun then thanked him again.

Subsequently, Li Mu and Ma Jun chatted while walking. Li Mu didn't ask Ma Jun about the manufacturing of equipment, but just chatted with Ma Jun about folk anecdotes, and briefly mentioned the equipment used in Liangzhou to Ma Jun.

After hearing this, Ma Jun was very interested in the novel equipment that Li Mu said, and said bluntly, he couldn't wait to observe it immediately. Li Mu's move was to get to know Ma Jun first, so as to get closer to him and Ma Jun. After all, many of Liangzhou's equipment, especially military equipment, are still in a state of secrecy.

After the hour, Li Mu saw that it was getting late, so he said goodbye to Ma Jun's family. Li Muling's personal guards took Ma Jun's family to their new house. Ma Jun and his wife naturally have to thank him.

"Chan'er, Mi'er, Yan'er...... I'm sorry! Li Mu walked in the middle with Li Huang and Li Jiao, and said apologetically: "Let's enjoy it as a family...... This family happiness is all because of me, disturbing your interest. ”

"Amu...... Don't feel sorry for our sisters! How could our sisters not know about Amu's heart? Zhen Mi smiled and said softly: "Besides, as Mi'er can see, Mr. Ma is a rare talent. On the occasion of this festive season, it is also a rare thing for Amu to be able to get the same talents! ”

"That's what Sister Mi said. Don't blame yourself! Cai Yan also said softly and comfortingly: "As a state shepherd, if the husband is only around the family, then he is not a good husband in Yan'er's heart!" ”

"Amu...... Look at how considerate Mi'er and Yan'er are! Diao Chanjiao smiled and said with relief: "As long as you have our sisters in your heart, how can we complain about Ah Mu?" If Ah Mu continues to blame himself, he will dislike our sisters for not being sensible enough......"

"The three ladies are really considerate!" Li Mu was very grateful to the three of them for being well-behaved and sensible, and then said with a smile: "After Yu'er gives birth to a child, my husband will definitely find a good opportunity, and our family will go out and enjoy some family fun!" ”

Diao Chan, Zhen Mi, and Cai Yan should have a good voice.

……

After the Lantern Festival, Li Mu was busy with Ma Jun studying handicrafts and agricultural equipment. So that Ma Jun can improve more advanced waterwheels, looms, and weaving machines as soon as possible under his own prompting.

As for the military equipment, Li Mu is not in a hurry to let Ma Jun contact him for the time being, and when the time is almost up, it will not be too late to tell Ma Jun!

On the twenty-second day of the first lunar month, a secret letter came from Fengying, Dong Zhuo was in the main hall of the North Palace, abolished Liu Wei as the king of Hongnong, and established Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, as the new emperor; Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others escaped from Luoyang City, and their whereabouts are unknown.

When Li Mu learned these two pieces of news, there was not much turmoil in his heart. Because Dong Zhuo's every move in Wenmingyuan and Xianyang Garden had already been transmitted to Ningcheng by Fengying through secret letters. Li Mu is somewhat glad that the trajectory of the general trend of the world is still moving towards the historical trajectory.

Xu Shu, Deng Zhi, and Li Hui spoke to Li Mu and asked Li Mu to spread a message to the world, denouncing Dong Zhuo and not recognizing Liu Xie's status as the new emperor. Li Mu adopted the suggestion of Xu Shu and the others, but did not implement it immediately. The reason is that Li Mu wants to confuse Dong Zhuo, so that Dong Zhuo can continue to be lawless and invincible, so that Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others can take advantage of this time to develop and grow! After a little thought, Xu Shu and the others understood Li Mu's thoughts.

Li Mu ordered the Eight Legions to prepare before the battle, the world has changed, and the east will enter Guanzhong!
