Pang Shanmin and Guo Jia both know that ordinary words compete with each other, and it is difficult for each other to get benefits, but the two of them can't bear the temperament in their hearts, and always want to gain the upper hand.

Gan Ning and Xu Chu glanced at each other, and the two were quite speechless, in Cao Ying's place, Guo Jia was far from such a temperament, Guo Jia's wisdom had long been too lazy to compete with others for a long time, but after arriving in Changsha, Guo Jia's words were fierce and changed from the past indifferent.

Pang Shanmin is the same, on weekdays, the political affairs in the city are handed over to Jiang Wan, and the military is handed over to Zhang Ren, in addition to accompanying his wife at home, he is discussing thaumaturgy with Huang Chengyan.

It wasn't until the next person sent the wine and food, and everyone sat down in the bamboo pavilion, the two of them were quite out of breath, and they could put away the provocative words in their mouths, Zhuge Liang saw this, and couldn't help but joke: "Mr. Fengxiao is here, which makes the mountain brothers happy, so it is abnormal." ”

Hearing this, Guo Jia nodded slightly, glanced at Pang Shanmin sideways, and said: "Kong Ming is far more interesting than the mountain people, the environment here is elegant, Jia doesn't want to compete with you, after the meal, I will ask for advice." ”

When Pang Shanmin heard this, he smiled but did not say a word.

After he was in a high position, his former classmates and friends in the academy and colleagues in the officialdom had scruples in front of Pang Shanmin, but Guo Jia remained unchanged and acted freely, and had a dispute with Guo Jia, which made Pang Shanmin's heart a lot more refreshed. ”

Pang Shanmin said, Guo Jia nodded slightly, and then looked at Xu Chu, making a look, Xu Chu saw this, raised his glass frequently, and invited Gan Ning, Pang Shanmin, and Zhuge Liang to drink together, Pang Shanmin only said that Xu Chu wanted to take advantage of the wine, indulge in a drink, and eat a few glasses, Pang Shanmin glanced sideways and saw Guo Jia smiling lightly, and was slightly stunned in his heart.

"Feng Xiao this time, I don't drink much!" Pang Shanmin said, but Guo Jia's expression remained unchanged and said: "Yesterday I drank overly, and today I am not in good health." ”

Although he has a different position from Guo Jia, Pang Shanmin does not want Guo Jia to die early, life is alive, like-minded people are hard to find, Pang Shanmin has ambitions in his heart, and wants to calm down the Central Plains in the future, and then talk to Guo Jia about wine.

couldn't stand Xu Chu's frequent persuasion, and after a while, except for Guo Jia, everyone was slightly drunk during the banquet, Zhuge Liang was about to get up, but Guo Jia smiled and said: "Kong Ming's wedding is coming, it is a happy event, drinking and having fun, but you want to pee?" ”

When Zhuge Liang heard this, his expression was sneering, and he went back to the banquet and sat down, Pang Shanmin was puzzled, why did Guo Jia just let go of the dispute, but he was embarrassed by Kong Ming?

Pang Shanmin was thinking about it, Xu Chu's shouting came again, Pang Shanmin looked at Gan Ning, saw that his face was red, and he was already drunk, and that Xu Chu looked as usual, but the shouting during the banquet was even louder, Pang Shanmin secretly said in his heart: It seems that on the wine field, Gan Ning is far from Xu Chu's opponent.

Xu Chu was embarrassed, Pang Shanmin had to drink with Xu Chu again, and glanced at Guo Jia again, but saw that he was drinking by himself, but his eyes had drifted out of the courtyard, Pang Shanmin's heart was slightly cold, thinking that this Guo Jia was acting differently, I was afraid that he had other plans.

Drinking all the wine in the mouth, Pang Shanmin secretly glanced at the direction that Guo Jia was looking at, it was a bamboo forest workshop, and he seemed to have something in his heart, so he simply no longer paid attention to Guo Jia's movements, but concentrated on fighting with Xu Chu.

Xu Chu saw that the three of them were drunk, got up and walked towards Guo Jia, and said with empty steps: "They are all drunk." ”

"It's been a hard work."

Guo Jia saw that Xu Chu was cute, and couldn't help laughing: "Please also ask Zhong Kang to settle everyone, and when it falls at night, Guo wants to see what this thaumaturgy is!" ”

After entering the bamboo forest, Guo Jia saw that there were many craftsmen here, and he had already expected that this bamboo forest was the place where Pang Shanmin started, and its thaumaturgical secrets must be hidden here, Pang Shanmin in front of Guo Jia, several times called Jingxiang prosperous, thanks to thaumaturgical help, although Guo Jia was unmoved on the face, but the bottom of his heart was already itching unbearable, now everyone is drunk, Guo Jia is a distinguished guest of Jingxiang, if he goes around in the bamboo forest, others do not dare to be embarrassed.

Guo Jia thought that as long as he followed the craftsman and got a glimpse of his thaumaturgy, even if he didn't know the secret, with Guo Jia's wisdom, he should analyze seven or eight out of ten, if he could bring some of the thaumaturgy back to Xudu, this time it was Kong Ming's wedding, and it would not be in vain.

After a short time, Xu Chu had moved the three of them into the bamboo house, and seeing that Xu Chu was drunk, Guo Jia ordered Xu Chu to wait in the courtyard, alone, and went to the place where the craftsmen gathered.

After a few turns in the bamboo forest, Guo Jia's heart was slightly cold, Guo Jia vaguely remembered that the matter of coming to the bamboo forest last year was still like walking on the ground, but today, in the bamboo forest, has changed greatly, it is the path in the forest, and it is also deeply in line with the way of Qimen Dunjia.

"If it's just a strange door, others are not allowed to enter, but there is no way to do it." Guo Jia smiled confidently, calculated slightly in his heart, and found the way to go, and after walking for a while, he heard the sound of craftsmen and craftsmen, and when he walked to the front of the workshop, Guo Jia walked in alone as if there was no one around, and saw a dry craftsman, cutting axes and chiseling next to several logs.

It's not like a big construction.

Guo Jia watched the craftsmen busy with interest, and from time to time he would ask the craftsmen around him what they were making, although the craftsmen had the heart to answer Guo Jia's questions, but they were at a loss for a long time, but Guo Jia was confused.

It turned out that these craftsmen only knew that what they made was related to the loom, but how to install and use the loom was not for them to answer.

Guo Jia thought about it, and then understood the plan in the hearts of the Pang mountain people, and couldn't help but secretly wonder, all the craftsmen are responsible for manufacturing part of the loom parts, and only a few people will be needed to assemble the loom and put it into use.

"It's a good idea." After thinking it through, Guo Jia secretly praised in his heart, Pang Shanmin's whimsical ideas emerged one after another, which hindered his exploration of thaumaturgy this time, but Guo Jia was not discouraged, if the craftsmen of the workshop did not know the secrets of thaumaturgy, in this bamboo forest, there were naturally people who knew its details.

Thinking of this, Guo Jia smiled at the craftsman beside him: "Does the old man know where Chengyan Gong is?" ”

Hearing this, the craftsman nodded, stretched out his hand and pointed to the backyard of the workshop, after Guo Jia thanked him, he hurried away, and after arriving in the backyard, Guo Jia saw Huang Chengyan with a gray face, in front of the wooden basin in the courtyard, his brows were furrowed, and he was silent for a long time.

Guo Jia saw Huang Chengyan thinking hard, and he didn't dare to bother, so he had to find a wooden stool by himself, sit down beside him, and wait for Huang Chengyan to come back to his senses.

Until it was about to get dark, Huang Chengyan didn't get anything, he got up, and saw Guo Jia who was drowsy on his side, Huang Chengyan was frightened, and said to Guo Jia: "Who are you?" ”

"The younger generation Yingchuan Guo Fengxiao, when the mountain people got married, had a relationship with Mr. Huang." Guo Jia couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Huang Chengyan come back to his senses, and said to Huang Chengyan: "I saw Chengyan hesitated for a long time, and I don't know what to worry about?" Guo prides himself on having some wisdom, and he can also help Mr. Huang come up with ideas! ”

When Huang Chengyan heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "The wisdom of filial piety is good at marching and fighting, this thaumaturgy is not a piece of filial piety." ”

When Guo Jia heard this, he pretended to be displeased and said: "How does Mr. Huang know that Guo has no strengths in thaumaturgy?" ”

"Feng Xiao is a good thing." Huang Chengyan said, pointed to the wooden basin, and said to Guo Jia: "This thing is calcined from white ash surface, and now it has been mixed with water, which can be bonded to masonry, but the proportion of sand and stone in it, the old man has always known it, if Feng Xiao has wisdom, he can understand it on behalf of the old man......"

Bonded masonry ...... When Guo Jia heard this, he was slightly annoyed in his heart, this time he was exploring the bamboo forest workshop, Guo Jia originally wanted to knock on the side and learn about the thaumaturgy that Pang Shanmin is now in charge of, what they are, and how to make Jing Xiang rich, but now he is arranged here by Huang Chengyan to study the calcined white ash surface.

Pressing the anger in his heart, Guo Jia said to Huang Chengyan: "Guo thinks that he should apply what he has learned, this adhesive masonry, Guo really doesn't know, what is its use." ”

"That's why the old man said before that filial piety is in thaumaturgy, and there is no understanding." Huang Chengyan heard Guo Jia's words, and said with a slight smile: "Bonding masonry can make the city wall stronger, and when defending the city, it can protect the lives of the soldiers and people in the city, how can this kind of thaumaturgy be useless?" And the mountain people once said that if the sand and gravel ratio in this thing can be made appropriate, after being mixed with water and solidified, it will be as hard as a solid stone, and such strange things are the most appropriate for repairing the Xichuan Road! ”

Seeing that Guo Jia was stunned, Huang Chengyan sighed: "Feng Xiao is here to peek into the secrets of Jingxiang thaumaturgy." ”

When Guo Jia heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, now the thoughts in his heart have been pierced by Huang Chengyan, and deep in the backyard of the workshop, Guo Jia is speechless.

Nodding slightly, Guo Jia sighed: "In the past two years, Jingxiang has been more prosperous than the Central Plains, although Guo is in civil affairs, he doesn't know much, but he knows that this food, clothing, housing and transportation are all related to the livelihood of the people, and the people are strong and the country is rich, this is the common sense of the world. ”

Huang Chengyan heard this, nodded, before he also had Pang Shanmin as the lord of Jingxiang, not optimistic, Pang Shanmin had no heroic spirit, but in thaumaturgy, amassing wealth, but quite capable, unconsciously, two years have passed, Pang Shanmin is now sitting in Erzhou, and the people under his rule live and work in peace and contentment, the soldiers and horses in the army, much stronger than before, now looking back, Huang Chengyan also feels that there are many strange things in this matter.

Seeing Guo Jia's face was ashamed, Huang Chengyan said to Guo Jia: "Thaumaturgical secrets, the old man can't tell Feng Xiao, this time the old man only thinks that Feng Xiao has never come, I don't know Feng Xiao, what do you think?" ”
