Chapter 21 Famous craftsman Ma Jun

One day, I was sleeping at home and was suddenly woken up by Huwei, saying that there was something important to report.

Immediately afterwards, I saw the tiger guards escorting a young man over, and the tiger guard said: "Lord, this person is sneaky outside the house, and his intentions are unknown, and he also asks the lord to fall." ”

I was also puzzled, and carefully looked at the young man, and saw that he was dressed in Gebu linen, obviously not a big family, more than seven feet tall, although his appearance was ordinary, his eyes were bright, but at this moment, in the face of countless strong men with fierce faces and blades, the young man was obviously a little nervous.

I wondered, "Who are you?" What to do outside the house? ”

"Big... Adult, so... Then... Ma Jun, a person who helps the wind nearby... Because I was curious about the structure of the waterwheel that someone gave me some time ago, I wanted to ask the man for advice and study, and I found out that the person was Lord Taishou, and I was considering whether to ask for a meeting, otherwise I was arrested. "The young man obviously stutters and stammers, and those who don't know may think that the other party is nervous.

"Ma Jun?" I was shocked when I heard this, could it be that this person is Ma Jun, Ma Deheng, one of the most famous mechanical masters in the Three Kingdoms period.

"Is there a table?" I hurriedly confirmed.

Ma Jun glanced at Xiang Yun a little strangely when he heard this, although he was puzzled, he didn't dare to hide it, and replied: "In... In the table below the word Deheng. ”

Ma Jun, the word Deheng, a person who helps the wind, was poor when he was young, and has a stuttering problem, although he is not good at talking, but he is good at ingenuity, and later held an official position in the Wei State, because Ma Jun lived in the countryside for a long time, he was more concerned about the reform of production tools, and made outstanding contributions, in history, he had reproduced the guide car, created the keel waterwheel, and transformed Zhuge Liang's crossbow, and increased its power by five times.

Ma Jun has a lot of Ming creations in handicrafts, agriculture, military and other aspects, is the best machine manufacturer in the Three Kingdoms period, is in the history of thousands of years in ancient China, it is rare, can be called a generation of mechanical masters, at that time, there was a writer named Fu Xuan once praised him and said: Mr. Ma, the name of the world is also skillful. However, due to the decline of the feudal ruling class, many of the Ming creations of the horse hook were not taken seriously.

His life, from youth to old age, has been unwilling, although he once served as a lieutenant official, but his work is still hindered and despised, skills have not been smoothly developed, although the writer Fu Xuan has recommended him several times to the Wei nobles Anxiang Hou Cao Yi and Wu'an Hou Cao Shuang, but he is still not taken seriously.

Fu Xuan said with deep emotion: Mr. Ma's skill, although the ancient public loss of Lu Ban, Mo Zhai, and modern Zhang Heng, can not be compared, but when the public loss and Mo Zhai can be used, Zhang Heng and Ma Jun's lives can not be squandered, which is really the most sad thing.

It can be seen that Ma Jun is an excellent Ming family, but because of the feudal society, he is also a buried ancient Ming family.

I determined the identity of Ma Jun, and the information about Ma Jun flashed in my mind, I saw it in the library, and I admired him at that time, and there was another person who was Hua Tuo, Ma Jun may not be very famous in ancient times, but in later generations, it was quite concerned, the key is that it has a variety of Ming, which can quickly improve the efficiency of agriculture and military, and is a rare talent.

I am a little excited, if this person is included in the account, coupled with some of his advanced knowledge, he will be able to improve the efficiency of his future industry several times, reading this, I said kindly: "It turned out to be Deheng, Deheng is here to find me?" ”

Ma Jun didn't understand why I was so polite all of a sudden, but he still stammered and explained, "And... It's useless... Just in mind... I'm just curious. ”

I nodded and asked, "I heard that Deheng is good at ingenuity and loves to be bright, I don't know if it?" ”

Ma Jun was stunned, he was not good at words since he was a child, and he had a stuttering problem, and he didn't like to talk much, but he was diligent in his hands, especially fond of specializing in mechanical things, in the village, he often researched some small things to improve agricultural products for the villagers, and he was quite famous, however, despite this, some people with a little identity looked down on him, and disagreed with his hobby, for Ma Jun, it was inevitable that there was some irony.

Ma Jun suddenly, thinking that I couldn't afford him, said indifferently: "Yes, my lord also... I also look down on this meager skill. ”

For Ma Jun's thoughts, I do have some understanding, since ancient Shi agricultural industry and commerce, the status of craftsmen who know skills is only slightly better than that of merchants, compared to those farmers who make a living from cultivating land, the status is low, unlike later generations, a skill in hand does not starve to death, it is normal to look down on people who cultivate rural land, but few people look down on those who have technology, after all, there are many Chinese people, the most lacking is the ordinary people, which also leads to many rural people preferring to go to the city to work rather than stay at home and cultivate the land... Ahem, it's far away.

"Deheng filtered, in the lower is not to look down on the craftsman, on the contrary, in the lower very much appreciate Deheng's skills, willing to recruit it."

When Ma Jun heard this, he was a little surprised, and carefully looked at Chu Xiong's chubby expression, and saw that his face was not fake, but very sincere, and he was puzzled in his heart: "May I ask who your lord is?" ”

"Oh, I was abrupt." I just remembered that I hadn't introduced myself yet, and hurriedly said: "In Xiazhuo County, too Shou Chuxiong, in order to crown, for Deheng's skills, Yun is also a little heard, admiration in my heart, I want to ask Deheng to set up a department in Zhuo County to study various equipment to improve efficiency, Deheng is responsible for all kinds of reimbursements, I don't know if Deheng is interested?" An olive branch was extended to the clouds.

This person is Chu Xiong, the owner of Xiongba Mountain Villa? So young? Ma Jun was stunned, listening to Chu Xiong's words, Ma Jun was a little moved, since he began to study this aspect, he has been out of control, and has a deep love for research, but research always requires capital, his family is originally poor, it is impossible to make a living from this, if it is really as Chu Xiong said, he can study what he likes all day long, and he does not have to consider living security, it can be described as the best of both worlds: "My lord is true? ”

I nodded and said firmly: "A man's words are worth a thousand gold, don't worry about Deheng, as long as Deheng is willing to do what I want, Deheng can just study and don't need to worry about anything else." ”

Ma Jun was secretly happy, nodded, and hesitated: "But I still have a family that is still helping the wind..."

I interrupted, "Can you send someone to pick them up?" ”

Ma Jun was overjoyed: "This is very good, can you allow me to go home and tell my family?" ”

"Naturally, I will send another hundred soldiers and a carriage with you, you take your family, just go to Zhuo County, Zhuo County, and someone will arrange it for you at that time." Seeing Ma Jun agree, I was also happy, I can be regarded as an inventor under my account, and if I need anything in the future, someone will help me find a way.
