Ma Jun is one of the most famous inventors in the history of ancient Chinese science and technology, which determines that he is the most important talent in addition to poetry and songs, military affairs, and government affairs.

Whether to choose a great writer with poetry and songs, or choose Ma Jun.

Qin Ye must choose Ma Jun.

There are many great writers, and Ma Jun is only one.

But because everyone admires the great writer, no one appreciates Ma Jun.

Ma Jun wandered around, looking for a stage where he could show his strengths.

Yuan Shao also had a drought there, so he asked Ma Jun to go out of the mountains to repair the diversion canal.

Everyone thought about it, Yuan Shao was also in drought, and he must have heard that there was a person named Ma Jun, so he invited him to go.

Xun You came out and said, "Please ...... with courtesy." ”

That is, digging the foot of the wall.

Zao Yi immediately said that he had thought of this matter a long time ago, and had already dug it in advance, "Don't come." ”

If you don't come, there's no way.

Qin Ye couldn't let his foundation be wiped out like this, so he decided to invite it in person.

…………

And the state, Taiyuan.

The city of Taiyuan has been the political, economic and cultural center of Bingzhou since ancient times.

Today, it is Yuan Shao's base camp.

Yuan Shao presided over the annexation of the state, and the scholars of the state were welcomed. And Yuan Shao also showed the bearing of the leader of the Shi clan, after coming to Bingzhou, not only did not commit any offense against the Shi clan, but also vigorously promoted the local Shi clan to work in important positions in the state and county.

This allowed Yuan Shao to gain the support of more local scholars, who contributed money and food to form an armed force of 50,000 people for Yuan Shao.

The scholars complained one after another, saying that life was sad, and they hoped that Yuan Shao could calm the world and improve their status.

Yuan Shao agreed with this, as the lintel of the fourth and third dukes, and as the leader of the world's corporal clan. Yuan Shao said that he would definitely let the scholars live a good life.

this day.

Outside Yuan Shao's mansion, a middle-aged man walked around with an anxious and waiting expression.

The guards couldn't help but follow their eyes, and they muttered in private.

"This grown-up comes several times a day."

"We're all annoyed, and he's not annoyed."

"Obviously, the lord doesn't plan to see him, he still comes, it's too eyeless, no wonder I have to want to see him."

Shaoqing, a soldier in personal guard costume, walked out from inside, "Lord Ma Jun, the lord is not feeling well, I can't see you today." The lord asked you to go back first, and when I can see you, the lord guild will send someone to inform you. If you are not summoned in the future, you will not come. ”

Ma Jun was stunned when he heard this.

Don't come without a summons......

He sighed, thinking that Yuan Shao, who was out of office, finally met the master of the Ming Dynasty and was able to show his strengths, but he didn't expect that he was very unsatisfactory now.

Why is this happening!

When Tian Feng invited him to come out, he didn't say that.

It was Yuan Shao who wanted to repair the canal, invited him, and he came out of the mountain.

Ma Jun lost his mind and walked back, and happened to bump into Tian Feng.

Tian Feng also heard that Ma Jun had come three times this day, so he hurriedly came and asked, "Can you see the lord?" ”

Ma Jun shook his head.

Tian Feng immediately said: "Sir, don't leave yet, I will definitely persuade the lord to allocate money and food to you." ”

Less.

It was the guard who walked out and said, "Lord Tian, please enter the house." ”

The guard looked at Ma Jun next to Tian Feng and just smiled slightly.

Ma Jun's heart was on fire.

Tian Feng was furious, obviously these people looked down on Ma Jun. But how could these people know that Yuan Shao's future should be in this person. What a foolish person with no eyes.

"Take me to the lord." Tian Feng said angrily.

"Yes." The guards were startled and hurriedly led the way.

In the chamber.

"Yuan Hao has something important?" Yuan Shao sat in the hall with a red face, saw Tian Feng come in, and asked directly.

"Lord, the matter of repairing the canal cannot be delayed any longer, please allocate money and food to Ma Jun as soon as possible." Tian Feng was more direct and made no secret of his dissatisfaction.

Yuan Shao frowned, although he knew his temper as a strategist, he was also a little angry in his heart. Therefore, he said lightly: "How can you not know the current situation of the treasury, and it is not easy to maintain local stability." Ma Jun's plan requires 200,000 people, and there is no extra money and food supply. It can only be put on hold for the time being. ”

When Yuan Shao first invited Ma Jun out of the mountain, he also wanted to repair the canal. But as soon as Ma Jun said that the project was huge, Yuan Shao was dumbfounded at that time.

It was he who took the initiative to invite others out of the mountain, and he couldn't slap himself in the face and say he wouldn't do it, so he shirked Ma Jun.

Tian Feng said: "But now that there is a big drought, if we don't repair the canal as soon as possible, I am afraid that the grain production will be reduced, which is not good." The lord should cut down on food and clothing, stop the construction of the mansion, restrain local expenses, and raise money ....... ”

Yuan Shao was angry when he saw that Tian Feng was colder than himself. How could he, as a prince, not know this? But in the current situation, if the money and grain are supplied to Ma Jun, then Yuan Shao will have no money to spend elsewhere.

Still haven't eaten?

Can you still recruit troops?

"I don't have to talk about it anymore. I'll talk about that later. Yuan Shao touched his forehead and said with a very haggard look.

Tian Feng didn't leave, and said in his heart, Lord, every time you say you have a headache in this situation, this is not good.

Yuan Shao saw that Tian Feng did not retreat, so he threw his sleeves and left in anger.

Tian Feng came out depressed.

Ma Jun originally had some hope, and when he saw Tian Feng's face, he knew the result, but he still didn't give up and asked, "How is the situation?" ”

Tian Feng shook his head.

Ma Jun sighed bitterly and was depressed.

Tian Feng said with relief: "Now that the treasury is empty, the lord's three meals a day are frugal, and he really has no money." So he agreed to give advice again the next day, and got into the carriage and left.

Ma Jun walked home, and felt that Yuan Shao's three meals were frugal, and he really had no money. This thing can't be forced so much, let's go back and wait for a while.

He walked not far along the road of the mansion, and saw a group of people from Yuan Shao's mansion, carrying cattle, sheep, and luxury goods into the alley.

Ma Jun naturally knew that the alley was the side door of the mansion, and when he saw these luxurious items, he was stunned and asked, "Who are these for?" ”

The steward saw that Ma Jun was also a petty official's costume, and said, "For entertaining all masters." ”

Ma Jun suddenly remembered that Yuan Shao had a small banquet on the third day and a big banquet on the fifth day, feasting the gate lord clan, and spending money like flowing water.

If you have this money, you can start the construction of the first phase of the project.

smiled bitterly in his heart, he was also distracted just now, and he actually believed Tian Feng's words.

Seeing Ma Jun stunned, the subordinate said disdainfully: "Haven't you seen these ingredients?" I saw that this big lobster didn't have it, but it was sent from Shandong 800 miles in an expedited manner, and it was very expensive. One will pay you a year, which is specially prepared for the lord of the Taiyuan Wang family. ”

Ma Jun remembered that even if Yuan Shao had no money, these scholars were all rich and rival countries, and it was impossible not to borrow it, right?

He went away in a rage.

"I can't afford to eat and I'm angry." The subordinates sneered again and again.
