After sending others off to do business, Guo Jia stayed in Ma Jun's courtyard to listen to him explain the key points of bow and crossbow design, Ma Jun stuttered, but it did not affect his clear narrative, and he must be confident about what he is good at, so there are few stuttering points.

Although Guo Jia listened ignorantly, with some superficial physical knowledge in later generations, he could understand a lot of what Ma Jun said.

Perhaps he never thought that a high-ranking figure like Guo Jia would listen attentively to the high-minded talk of a small person like him, Ma Jun not only spoke in detail, but also had a smile on his young face all the time.

He is from the northwest, is a Fufeng people, the family is poor, often suffer from war, first there was a rebellion of Ma Teng Han Sui and others, and then was recruited, and then rebelled, after Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, the northwest has never been peaceful, and it can even be said that since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the northwest has never been peaceful, Qiang is in chaos, Ma Teng is a Hanchen, and he also made a rebellion, not to mention Dong Zhuo, human life is like a mustard, Ma Jun heard that Yizhou recruited skilled craftsmen, so he came to try, but he didn't expect to be Zhang Liao as a guest, and the treatment of good food and drink made him live a stable life, Able to focus on their own hobbies.

As for Guo Jia is the anti-thief who issued a document to crusade against by the imperial court, Ma Jun doesn't care very much, he has seen people like Ma Teng who are in turmoil and are recruited, and who rebel, what kind of people in Guanzhong are living, he has also seen it, even if Guo Jia is a thief, the life of the people of Yizhou is what he yearns for, and he personally contacted Guo Jia, that is, a young man of his age, very easy to get along with, he doesn't cause trouble, doesn't break the law, lives simply, whoever rebels, who is a thief, how can he care.

After getting along with Ma Jun, Guo Jia felt that he was a rare genius in the world, but his values were different, and even if other princes knew Ma Jun's ability, it was estimated that most of them would not pay attention to it.

Even said that he came to eat and sleep with Ma Jun, Guo Jia listened to Ma Jun's views on the instrument very carefully, and at the same time took out his half-baked physics knowledge to discuss with Ma Jun, Ma Jun is a practitioner, Guo Jia is a theorist, and he dare not say anything about preaching and teaching, but Guo Jia hopes that he can give Ma Jun some inspiration.

A few days later, in the early morning, Ma Jun was trying to influence the corner crossbow with different parts as usual, while still explaining the differences of each part to Guo Jia.

"Deheng, do you have any pursuits? For example, some people want gold and silver treasures, some people want beautiful wives and concubines, and some people want to be kings and hegemons, what about you? What do you want? ”

Guo Jia spoke to Ma Jun very bluntly, because Ma Jun is not a scheming person.

Ma Jun sat in the courtyard and was stunned for a moment, stopped his movements, and thought about Guo Jia's question very seriously.

After a while, he raised his head and looked at Guo Jia and said, "I, my father, before his death, Xi, hoped that I would be a great official and glorious ancestor." My mother, I hope I can, I can marry a few, a few wives and concubines, let, let the Ma family's heirs, prosperous. ”

Guo Jia smiled, it's a good ideal, it sounds vulgar, but if he puts it another way, it will be a double harvest of career and love.

"Okay, I'll let Wen Yuan be a matchmaker for you, let you pick a few people you like to marry home, and then I will go to the court to seal you as Yizhou, this official, are you satisfied?"

As far as the official position itself is concerned, Yizhou is one of the top three positions in a state, and its status is very high.

Ma Jun was dumbfounded, and it took a long time before he scratched his head and said, "But, but I don't, I don't have any money, this, this house is not, it's not enough to live." General Zhang gives me money every month, and I, I pay it back alone, so it's okay to say, but if it's a family, a family, I'm afraid I can't support it, if a woman, a woman doesn't work, I, I'll be miserable. ”

Guo Jia chuckled: "Although I can't give you the official position of Yizhou now, I can give you the Assassin's Fortune, six hundred stones a year, and another big house, 100 acres of fertile land, you can hire someone to farm for you, so rest assured, right?" ”

Ma Jun nodded happily, but his brows furrowed again, and he continued: "I, if I am, go to be an official, this, this ......"

He never expected Ma Jun to do administrative work, Guo Jia sat next to him and said: "You don't have to worry, you don't have to drive in Yizhou, just manage these craftsmen, you can continue to do what you like in peacetime, official position, you think you can make the Ma family glorious ancestors, if you have a chance in the future, I can also help you go to the court, seal a township, and give you a pavilion." ”

Now Yizhou doesn't even have a history of assassination, the state pastor, Yizhou is not in name, the real power is in the hands of those people in Yizhou Mansion, and the work is also done by them, Guo Jia gave Ma Jun an official position is a false name, as long as Ma Jun is happy.

Ma Jun looked at Guo Jia incredulously, lowered his head, unconsciously fiddled with the parts, and said in a low and weak voice: "General, you, aren't you afraid that others will laugh and laugh at you?" I, I don't have any ability, but you want me to be a big official, I also know that if you don't have merit, you shouldn't tease me, right? ”

A hand gently stroked Ma Jun's shoulder, and after he raised his head and looked at Guo Jia, Guo Jia said solemnly: "Deheng, your talent is far from comparable to others, I am convinced of this, people who read poetry and books in the world are like carp crossing the river, but how many of them can really have practical talents?" You are different, you are like a gift from God, I have not been with you for a long time, but I know that your talent is not only helpful to my army, but also beneficial to the people, compared with you, I am actually a villain, I want to buy you with money, beauty, official position, what do you want, just ask, I can satisfy you, I will not refuse. ”

Guo Jia is telling the truth, even if Ma Jun is insatiable, he will still satisfy him, because what Ma Jun can create is far more than what he deserves.

Ma Jun looked at Guo Jia in a daze, Guo Jia patted him on the shoulder and got up to leave, after Guo Jia went out, Ma Jun lowered his head and wiped his eyes with his sleeve.

He is a poor child who is often ridiculed for stuttering, never daring to dream of being praised and recognized in such a way, and occasionally being ridiculed for his ingenuity when he shows his talents...... Guo Jia's promise was soon realized, and he built a mansion for Ma Jun, and asked Zhang Liao to be a matchmaker to personally match, and also specially instructed that only when Ma Jun nodded and said that he liked it, the marriage would be settled, and he also converted the year's fortune into grain and satin cloth to send to Ma Jun.

For the talents that can be recruited, Guo Jia can do whatever it takes, but he must start with grace first.

After staying in Hanzhong for nearly two months, Guo Jia discussed with Gan Ning and Zhang Liao here the planning of the arms in the army, such as Gan Ning's newly built cavalry team, with white feathers on helmets and shoulder armor, the Yinling Flying Cavalry was officially completed, and the 5,000 archers under Zhang Liao were also reorganized, and others, such as pikemen, sword and shield soldiers, were also reorganized in terms of numbers, the purpose was to make the combination of troops reasonable and to maximize the performance in battle.

Autumn is coming, Guo Jia is also time to return to Chengdu, the harvest season, the same means busy, Guo Jia has handed over the political affairs to his subordinates to a large extent, the setting of Yizhou Mansion is actually an accountability system, the division of labor is clear, each performs its own duties, there is a mistake, there is a responsibility to ask, someone can be punished, but there are still a lot of government affairs need Guo Jia to make a decision.

Before leaving, there was a lively time in Hanzhong, which was Ma Jun's wedding banquet.

According to his identity, Guo Jia is qualified to officiate at the wedding, but he still gave up the throne to the respected elders in Hanzhong Township.

In the lively and festive wedding banquet, Guo Jia wore an ordinary sleeve robe and Zhang Liaofazheng and others came to congratulate Ma Jun on his marriage.

Marriage in this era is not important for both men and women, whether there is affection, the most important thing is whether the married life can be stable and rich, Ma Jun has been appreciated by Guo Jia has long been spread, not only Guo Jia gave the mansion and good land, but also Hanzhong Taishou Zhang Liao personally as a matchmaker, invite respected elders to officiate the marriage, no matter what Guo Jia's starting point is, to Ma Jun, it is really like a mountain.

Ma Jun's peers make Guo Jia very appetizing, he and Zhen Yu have a bit of a gentleman's friendship as light as water, and Ma Jun presents it in front of him as if it is a blank piece of paper, clean and clean, no need to beware, no need to calculate, although they are not like-minded with each other, they can talk freely with each other, this alone is rare.

In front of the public, Ma Jun came to Guo Jia in a red wedding dress, knelt down and kowtowed to him three times, making Guo Jia cry and laugh, helped him up with his own hands, and said: "Deheng, you are very happy today, no matter what you think, I just congratulate you as a friend." ”

Ma Jun felt it, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, took a deep breath, and after brewing for a long time, he said with a serious expression towards Guo Jia: "Jun is grateful to the general, and he will remember his life." ”

The peers who knew Ma Jun at the scene were full of envy for Ma Jun, and they also admired Ma Jun's talent, but they were even more surprised that Guo Jia's treatment of Ma Jun was beyond the imagination of all of them.

Guo Jia picked up two wine glasses, handed one to Ma Jun, saluted him, and said: "Everyone has their own stage, in my eyes, there is no distinction between high and low, Deheng, you and they are both people with a skill, in the field you are good at, I can't compare to you, so, I admire you, I hope you use your own skills to benefit the people, if there are people who despise you, that is they have eyes without beads, there are countless people in the world, they are not qualified to judge you, your hands, but a pair of hands that can turn ordinary into magic!" ”

Not only Ma Jun, but his peers also stared at Guo Jia with excited expressions.

"Great, General, I, I, I will, will remember you, what you said, words."
