Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu were shocked when they saw the master untie the sword, this sword was a sword given by Jiang Xu, a hundred forged fine iron, one in a hundred, Jiang Wei has always cherished it, wiped it every day, and didn't want to send it out today in order to buy a horse for his brother.

The brothers were grateful, but they couldn't bear it. Just as they were about to dissuade them, Jiang Wei shook his head at them, signaled them not to say more, and divided the reins of the horses one by one.

Jiang Wei turned over his horse, turned around and arched his hand at Oh He and Burning He, nodded at Jia Ren again, and then grabbed the horse's belly and floated away. Seeing this, Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu also led their horses and chased after them.

Jia Ren glared at the two people who were in the local area, Oh He and Burn He, and said fiercely:

Do you know who it is? A few days ago, with 500 county soldiers, he broke the wolf and Qiang people, it was this Jiang Wei Jiang Zhonglang! You dare to take his money, seriously... Seriously... Ay! ”

After he saw Jiang Wei and his party leave, he sighed and said in surprise: "It is said that Jiang Zhonglang is generous, and I can see it today, tsk, benevolence, righteousness, really benevolence and righteousness!" As he spoke, he put his hands behind his back and turned to leave.

When they heard this, they were stunned for a while. When they wanted to catch up, Jiang Wei and his party were gone.

Oh He suddenly pulled out the saber left by Jiang Wei, only to see that the sword body was covered with textures, straight and sharp, and there was a cold breath oozing out of his hand, it was really a good sword that stabbed into the autumn frost.

He is a knowledgeable person, and knows that this pattern is unique to forged steel. The Han people have always forbidden the flow of iron, and most of the warriors of the surrounding tribes are only equipped with bronze swords. If he is willing to give up, some of the handsome leaders will take out ten or twenty good horses in exchange.

And the young man gave him these swords at will. Oh He stared blankly at the sword in his hand, revealing a confused look.

It was still early, and Jiang Wei decided to go to the south of the city to make a trip to the craftsman's camp. The group then turned south.

The craftsman's barracks were guarded by a junior colonel surnamed Wang, who had already been instructed by his cousin Yin Xian. Seeing Jiang Wei at this moment, he hurriedly welcomed him in. Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu got new mounts, and they didn't enter, but only teased outside the camp.

Jiang Wei entered the camp and saw that the camp covered a wide area, with wooden boulders scattered and stacked in all directions. Idlers sit in the shade in groups of three or five, or sit in the shade to rest, or gather around the stone pier to gamble and have fun.

The little school surnamed Wang shouted from afar, and a young man in his twenties walked quickly. I saw that he was wearing a white-washed green robe, with a thin figure, and two mustaches on his lips.

The person who came froze from afar, clasped his fists and saluted, bowed his head and said: "Grass people Ma Jun, see... I've seen two adults. ”

"Ma Jun?" Jiang Wei was shocked, he was familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms, and naturally knew that there was a great inventor in the late Wei Kingdom who was also named by this name.

The little school surnamed Wang was busy pulling the person to Jiang Wei and introduced: "This person is called Ma Jun, can write and calculate, and is well-known among craftsmen, because he was promoted as the leader." Although he stuttered a little, his skills were exquisite, and Jiang Zhonglang was satisfied. ”

He turned to Ma Jun again and said: "Leader Ma, this is Jiang Zhonglang, a general who joined the army in this county, and the Qiang people who led the soldiers and horses of this county to make a big mess a few days ago are a first-class hero in my northwest ground. This big victory, the court is about to issue a reward in the near future, and you will all have a share. This is all the credit of Jiang Zhonglang, you have to be grateful. ”

Jiang Wei moved his gaze to Ma Jun, who was making a move, and asked, "Isn't it Ma Jun and Ma Dehenghu who are helping the wind?" ”

Ma Jun was a little surprised, although he had a small reputation at this time, he only heard about it in the countryside, and many of the big families in the city did not know about it.

"The grass people are sure... Indeed, it is a Fufeng man... People, cursive de... Deheng, no... I don't want to be cheap... A cheap name is insulting and clear. ”

Jiang Wei was secretly happy in his heart, it didn't take any effort to get it this time.

According to the records of the Three Kingdoms, Ma Jun was born poor, stuttered since he was a child, and was not good at talking. In the early years, he lived in the countryside for a long time, liked to think, was good at using his brain, and at the same time paid attention to practice, was diligent in his hands, and was more concerned about the reform of production tools, so he had a deep knowledge in transmission machinery.

After he was promoted to filial piety, he became a doctor in the Wei State, and because of his poverty, he improved the ayaki and became famous for it. During the reign of Emperor Wei Ming, the loom was changed to twelve feet, which greatly improved the efficacy. When he was in Luoyang, he invented the drainage and irrigation truck, called "overturning", which used manpower to lift water from low to high. He also researched and manufactured a guide car, improved Zhuge Liang's repeater, and improved the stone cart for siege. The "Water to Hundred Operas" he created uses water as the power and a mechanical wooden wheel as the transmission device, so that the puppets can perform automatically, and the idea is very ingenious.

Although he was not very ambitious in his life, he studied hard and designed and manufactured a variety of machinery, which was called "the world's most famous skill".

At this time, the young Ma Jun had not yet entered the Wei Dynasty as an official, and judging his behavior, he was still resigned; At this time, he was brought in to serve, presumably because his family was poor and had no money to support the exemption, which was at a low point in his life.

Jiang Wei remembered the famous saying that "science and technology are the primary productive forces" said by a great man in the next generation, and he had the intention of accepting it in his heart. Rather than let this great talent be depressed in the Wei Kingdom, it is better to encircle it and turn it into use.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wei returned the salute with a fist, and said with a smile: "Under Jiang Wei, the word Boyo, I have heard that there is a great talent in Fufeng in the neighboring county, who is full of economy and superb skills, and is known as Luban in the world, and I don't want to see it here, which is really fortunate." Jiang Wei had a lot of expectations for Ma Jun, so he simply made friends with his peers, using self-titles such as "below". His words were indeed from the bottom of his heart, and some of his true feelings were revealed.

Ma Jun was a little unmoved, and said in his heart that the person opposite, although he was young, was already a county lieutenant, and he was just under the shadow of his ancestors, and he didn't expect to be very knowledgeable. Now praising himself like this, it's just that the big man has a request for himself, and he is just polite or two, how can there be any upper-class people in this world who really attach importance to craftsmen, and when they are not used, they are just a worthless little person.

Therefore, Ma Jun just hugged his fists and said: "But strange... Tricks and tricks and... That's it, no... Don't dare to be wrong... False praise. There was a cold tone between the words.

The little colonel surnamed Wang saw that he was not very enthusiastic, and he was afraid that Jiang Wei would be angry, blame himself for being slack, and he would not be able to behave in front of Yin Xian in the future, so he hurriedly shouted: "What dare you dare, since Jiang Zhonglang praises it, it is good to bear it." You don't know how to lift ......."

Jiang Wei raised his hand to interrupt the scolding of the little colonel surnamed Wang, suddenly took a step forward, and said to the person in front of him: "In your opinion, is the skill just a trick?" With such a view, please forgive me for not agreeing. ”

Ma Jun looked up, his eyes showing surprise.
