Jiang Wei said slowly: "Don't you hear: In the ancient world, there were few people and many beasts, and the people were invincible to birds, beasts, insects and snakes. There are saints who make wood as a nest to avoid group harm, and the people are happy, so that the king of the world, called the nest. People eat clams, fishy and foul smell and hurt the stomach and intestines, and people have many diseases. There are saints who drill and make fire to dispel the fish, and the people say that they make the king of the world, and the name is called the Suiren. Ma Jun, I heard that you are also a person who reads poetry and books, do you know the reason for this allusion? ”

Ma Jun was stunned for a moment, he didn't want this Jiang Zhonglang to look like a martial artist, but he knew a lot of allusions, and even knew the story of the Chaoren clan and the Suiren clan. He guessed that Jiang Wei would have something to refer to when he introduced the allusion, but he didn't know the truth for a while, so he had to answer honestly: "Uttering "Han... HAN Feizi. Five beetles. ”

Jiang Wei said: "Yes, in ancient times, humans and beasts were no different, all of them drank blood and lived in caves. At that time, there was no article education, and the nest people and the Suiren clan were different from the beasts, and the people who relied on them were also skilled. ”

He paused, and then said: "I heard it again, in the past, the Shudi River was crisscrossed, and the Minjiang River was prone to waterlogging, ravaging Qianshou. And to the sage to govern Shu, the people were transferred to dredge the river and repair the weir, so that the land of Shu was fertile for thousands of miles, known as the land and sea, and the local people have been blessed so far. Ma Jun, do you know what this means? ”

At this point, Ma Jun had a hint of enlightenment in his heart. He saw Jiang Weizheng staring at him with burning eyes, so he replied again: "It's a battle... Warring States period sage Li ... Li Bing's water control. ”

Jiang Wei nodded and continued: "Lord Li Chuan has been used by the world to build Dujiangyan, Shuzhong is the Tianfu Plain, benefiting hundreds of generations, and his merits can be traced after Xia Yu. In the past, Zhuangzi regarded the skill of Ding Ding to solve the ox, and entered the Tao, and in the view of Weiwei, the skill of Li Chuan's master can also be praised. ”

Jiang Wei spoke eloquently, and called Ma Jun's name, which immediately attracted many craftsmen to watch. With every word he spoke, he took a step forward; Ma Jun took a step back every time he heard a word, and for a while he was already pale and sweating profusely.

Jiang Wei glanced around, then fell on Ma Jun's face, and said in a deep voice: "From ancient times to the present, Baihu has changed, but I have not died in Huaxia, why is this?" Covered with the sage's liturgical articles to educate more than that, the people's nature is pure, and the summers can be combined, which is also one of them; There are also talented craftsmen who are determined to innovate, and their instruments are profitable, and they must not be invaded, and this is the second one. And you, as a famous craftsman, say that one of the skills is a strange skill, but what is the reason! ”

His remarks were very radical, and he almost elevated "skills" to the same level as "literature" and "etiquette", which was tantamount to a bit deviant in the era when the barriers of scholars, farmers, industry, and commerce were strict.

But in Ma Jun's ears, he was not stingy with the sound of heaven, and his face gradually showed a touched look.

Ma Jun has liked Gewu since he was a child, and he never gave up for a moment after enlightening his studies, and many elders in the clan thought that he was not doing his job properly, and persuaded him to concentrate on his studies and get ahead in the future. He didn't think so, he stuttered a little, he couldn't argue with others, he could persist so far, and he didn't know how many white eyes and grievances he suffered on weekdays.

At this time, Jiang Wei made a long speech and really talked about his heart. The distress and pain in his heart were suddenly swept away, and he gradually felt a sense of confidant about the life in front of him. There are thousands of words to say, but it is really clumsy, and I can't say a word for a long time, so I can't stop making a gesture to show gratitude.

Jiang Wei said slowly: "Only the world is sincere, in order to be able to do its best; If you can fulfill the nature of people, you can fulfill the nature of things; If you can exhaust the nature of things, you can praise the transformation and education of heaven and earth; You can praise the transformation and education of heaven and earth, and you can participate in heaven and earth. Today, I will send this sentence to Brother Deheng, I hope that Brother must not be vain, don't bear this useful body! ”

Ma Jun knows that this sentence comes from "The Mean", which means that only sincere people in the world can give full play to their own nature; And then give full play to the nature of all things, sponsor heaven and earth to nurture all things, so that they can stand side by side with heaven and earth into three. Jiang Wei gave this sentence as a gift, which also encouraged him to face up to his talents and hobbies, and not to be self-indulgent and give up halfway.

He was like an initiation for a while, stood for a long time, and then made a big salute and said respectfully: "Chaowen Dao, Xi... You can die at night. Jun... Cautious... Be taught. ”

Jiang Wei saw that he was already shocked, and knew that he would accept it when he saw it, so he stepped forward to support his arm, and said with a smile: "When I saw Brother Deheng, I didn't feel that I was noisy for a few more words, and it was annoying for no reason, so don't linger on my brother." It's just that after standing for a long time, my mouth is already a little dry, Brother Deheng didn't invite me to sit in for a while, and tell me about my intentions? ”

He knew that Ma Jun had been touched, so he changed his words to commensurate with the words.

Ma Jun patted his forehead with his hand, his face was ashamed, and he was rude, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to invite Jiang Wei and the junior colonel surnamed Wang into the barracks. After the two of them sat down in turn, they poured two bowls of herbal tea and served them in front of the two. At this moment, his heart is exhausted, and there is already more intimacy between actions.

Xiao Xiao Xiao surnamed Wang listened to Jiang Wei for a long time, although he couldn't understand a word, he only remembered a few names before and after, what "Han Fei", "Sage", "Li Bing", I only felt that Lord Zhonglang was very powerful. He wanted to perform in front of Jiang Wei, and after Ma Jun also sat down, he preemptively spoke:

"Leader Ma, Jiang Zhonglang wants to rebuild a set of guys for his family this time, it will be of great use in a few days, and he is very anxious in terms of time, I hope you will bother more."

Ma Jun asked, "But big... For the wedding? ”

Jiang Wei said: "Definitely. Wei's father died early, the family was poor, and his mother raised Wei with hard work, and his mother was thrifty, and the old things in the house have not been changed for more than ten years. coincided with this battle, Wei Bo had merit, and there were rewards in the state and county, so he wanted to rebuild some furniture and things to repay his mother's hard work in the past. ”

He took a sip of water and said: "After another half a month, Wei wants to raise the whole family to the ancestral hall in the countryside to worship the ancestors, the mother is getting older, and her legs and feet are inconvenient, and she will ask Brother Deheng to build a chariot with thick pads inside, so as to alleviate the pain of the mother's bumpy road." ”

As he spoke, he took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and placed it on the table: "Today's matter is in a hurry, I only brought some fixed money, please accept it from Brother Deheng." After the object is finished and delivered, the balance will be handed over to you. ”

Ma Jun saw that Jiang Wei's mother was filial, and he added a little respect, and secretly thought in his heart: "At present, the imperial court has not yet received the reward, and the craftsmen from other counties are still in the camp waiting for the reward. What this man asks for is easy.

Not to mention that the people were idle left and right, but the materials for the furniture and carriage were mostly ready-made in the camp. Everyone worked together, and it was done in ten days. This person has a little affection for himself, and he respects himself so much, he can't receive this money. ”

He had the heart to shirk it. Suddenly, there was an exclamation outside the door. Ma Jun turned his hand to look, and it turned out to be a few idle craftsmen lying outside the door, thinking that they were all amazed when they saw Jiang Wei's generous move.

Seeing that everyone's faces were full of longing, Ma Jun hesitated for a while. He himself did not want to accept Jiang Wei's money, but even if he had been elected as the leader, everyone's mood could not be taken into account.

It must be known that the circulation in the world is mainly copper coins, and gold and silver are mostly used for the delivery of bulk goods, which is rare among the people. Jiang Wei's piece of silver, converted into copper coins, is afraid of no less than 3,000 yuan, enough to share 200 yuan per person, even if he is at home on weekdays, he may not be able to earn this reward, not to mention that this is just a fixed money.

Ma Jun was in a dilemma for a while, and was limited to silence.

Jiang Wei saw his demeanor and knew his thoughts, so he stuffed the silver taels into his hand without saying anything, and said with a smile: "The brothers are going out, this little money is a little bit of Wei's heart, and the right to invite the brothers to eat a bowl of water and wine." Brother Deheng, if Dangwei is a friend, please don't shirk. His tone was resolute, and there was no room for resistance.

Ma Jun no longer shirked when he heard this, and led all the craftsmen to thank him.

At the moment, the two talked carefully about the number and style of objects.

Jiang Wei himself doesn't know anything about the furniture styles of the Han Dynasty, which is used to throw bricks and attract jade, and only requires a simple atmosphere. But when it comes to the car, there are a lot of requirements, not only simple appearance, but also internal comfort, but also rugged and durable.

Ma Jun held a pen and recorded them one by one, and the two sides agreed to take 15 days as the delivery period.

Jiang Wei knew that Ma Jun's face was thin, and he no longer mentioned the final payment, thinking that at that time, he would give another pound of silver, how would it be enough to thank the craftsmen for their efforts.

The two chatted for about half an hour, and finally finalized the details one by one.

Jiang Wei then got up and hugged his fists and said: "Brother Deheng has to help him, and his heart is determined." After a long time, it was not early, and Wei couldn't bear to wait for his mother for a long time, so he said goodbye. ”

Ma Jun also got up and saluted back, saying, "Dare to be inexhaustible.. Do everything in one's power. ”

After sending Jiang Wei out of the camp, and seeing his group disappear at the entrance of the alley, Ma Jun's heart was stirred:

"This Jiang Zhonglang is both civil and military, well-behaved, and his future is really limitless. Ma Jun, Ma Jun, you have a self-motivated heart, but unfortunately there is no way, but now this Jiang Zhonglang can ask for more benefits...... Anyway, he looked up to me, and this time he had to do his best to finish it as soon as possible. First, it can be regarded as repaying his affection, and secondly, it can also show my ability to help Ma Deheng! ”
