Chapter 41: The Wizard Ma Jun
(From today onwards, this book will be updated at least twice a day, 6000+, please support friends!) Weakly asked: Is there a collection of wood? Do you have a recommended ticket? )
The child replied, almost in a mosquito-like voice, "Horse...... Ma Jun ......"
But Liu Ze heard it clearly, in fact, he determined the identity of the child from the moment he recognized the compass, and Ma Jun was the only one who could make a compass in the Three Kingdoms era. The guide car is a tool for discerning directions. Our ancestors created the zào guide car very early.
According to legend in ancient Chinese history, more than 4,000 years ago, the Yellow Emperor fought with Chiyou, who made his army not defeated, so he made a fog, causing the Yellow Emperor's army to lose its way. Later, the Yellow Emperor made a guide car, relying on the guide car to discern the direction, and finally defeated Chiyou. Legend has it that 3,000 years ago, the distant Viet Hang clan (in present-day Vietnam) sent envoys to the Zhou Dynasty and lost their way back.
Although these stories are legends, especially the fog of Chi You, it is also a myth, but the invention of the Chinese guide car is really an extremely long time. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Heng used a purely mechanical structure to create a guide car, but unfortunately Zhang Heng's method of building a guide car was lost.
By the time of the Three Kingdoms, people only knew about the guide car from legends, but no one had ever seen what the guide car looked like. At that time, Ma Jun, who was a lieutenant official in the Wei State, was very interested in the legendary guide car and was determined to rebuild it. However, some conservative people were skeptical when they learned of Ma Jun's determination, not believing that Ma Jun could build a guide car. One day, in front of Emperor Wei Ming, some officials had a heated argument about the guide car and Ma Jun. Gao Tanglong, the general of the free cavalry, Qin Lang and others not only did not believe it, but also made sarcastic remarks, Ma Jun argued with reason, and in the end, it was Cao Rui who presided over justice and ordered Ma Jun to make a guide car.
In the absence of information and models, Ma Jun studied hard and practiced repeatedly, and it didn't take long for him to finally use the construction principle of differential gears to make a guide car. Facts speak louder than words, and Ma Jun used practical achievements to successfully end this controversy. The guide car made by Ma Jun was always a guide on the battlefield where the war was raging and the smoke of gunpowder was filled, no matter how the chariot turned, the fingers of the wooden man on the car were always guided, which aroused the admiration of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.
Now confirmed from the child's mouth, he held Ma Jun tightly in his arms, hugged him tightly, and refused to let go for a long time.
Liu Ze's heart, in addition to great joy, is more of a guilt. Once these children leave the camp, they will be on the verge of death, and many adults will starve to death, who will believe that these children can support themselves and survive in troubled times? Liu Ze has not not considered the consequences, but he is more from his own interests, maybe he has seen too much life and death, maybe he has experienced too many lives, he has stayed in this social environment for too long, Liu Ze has also become numb, and he has become cold, and in his eyes, there are only two kinds of useful and useless people left, those who have use value are like gods, and those who have no use value are left to fend for themselves.
And today, he almost almost killed a genius, a great inventor. However, one qiē is not too late, and one qiē can be redeemed.
Liu Ze stood on the high platform at the gate of the camp and loudly announced that the repatriation plan was cancelled, and all the personnel immediately returned to their respective camps. All the children outside the camp cheered.
Returning to the main account, Liu Ze was relieved and sat down on the Taishi chair with ease, but the people below were confused, standing there inexplicably.
Liu Ze waved his hand and beckoned them to sit down, but Du Zhang Fei didn't sit down, and he didn't go to the camp gate today if he had anything else to do. He said angrily: "Big brother, I originally thought that you had done a holy thing, but at the end of the day, you were confused again, and I don't know what you think, what's the use of leaving those hundreds of rice buckets that can't do anything?" ”
Liu Ze didn't answer him with a smile, and said to Guan Hai: "Ziqian, what do you think of that Ma Jun?" ”
Guan Hai thought for a while, and said: "That Ma Jun is a little stammer, he doesn't say much on weekdays, and he is listed in the last few in this literary and martial arts test, and I heard the people in charge of the camp say that he never communicates with people, and only likes to fiddle with some gadgets that have no purpose." ”
Liu Ze handed the compass to Guan Hai and said, "Look at this." ”
Guan Hai took it and looked left and again, and after looking at it for a long time, he didn't see why.
Zhang Fei stretched out his hand to take it, but he couldn't understand it, and said: "This is just a toy made by a child himself, it is rough and unbearable, what is there to look at!" ”
Liu Ze walked over and put the compass in the palm of his hand, no matter how he panned his palm back and forth, left and right, the compass always pointed in the north-south direction. Zhang Fei was surprised, couldn't help but take it and fiddle with it again, and sighed: "I didn't expect this thing to be so fun." ”
Guan Yu is familiar with poetry and books, and he also knows a little about the compass, so he said: "This thing is not the Sinan mentioned in Wang Chong's "On Balance", no matter how you turn its handle, it always points to the south, but this thing seems to be much more vulgar. ”
Liu Ze nodded and said, "Yes, this thing is a compass, it is made of magnets, it moves this thing horizontally, and the pointer always points to the south, whether it is a march or a war, a field trip or a sailing ship, this thing is a must-have." ”
"I can't imagine that Ma Jun can create such a subtle thing at such a young age, it's really unseemly." Zhang Fei was also surprised.
Liu Ze sighed and said: "This Ma Jun is a genius-like figure, more than ten times stronger than Pan Fengwu Anguo combined, and because of my thoughts, it is almost an irreparable mistake." The ruler is short, the inch is long, and a person's talent is sometimes hidden deeply, who can know whether there is still a dragon and a crouching tiger in these seemingly incompetent and useless people. Looking back, I am really ashamed, I, Liu Ze, boast that I want to save the people of the world with benevolence and righteousness, but I want to do such unkind and unrighteous things, knowing that leaving the valley is a dead end, but I still have to send him back to my hometown, how different is my behavior from the executioner! ”
"Big brother, why should you be worried, if you hadn't bought these children, they might have starved to death on the streets, and life and death are all in your hands." Zhang Fei said disapprerovingly.
Liu Ze said gloomily: "This is like meeting a person who fell into a well, you have pulled him out of the well and given him a chance to live, but you pushed him into the well again, what is the difference between this behavior and a murderer?" After Ma Jun's incident, I understand a truth, everything in the world has its own truth, and no life can be taken lightly. ”
"How will the lord settle them?" Since they all had to stay, Guan Hai had no choice but to ask Liu Ze for ideas.
Liu Ze sighed and said: "There is still a lot of wasteland in the valley, which can be cultivated after reclamation, you can grow some crops such as millet, wheat, soybeans, vegetables, etc., and you can also raise some cattle, sheep, dogs, and pigs. ”
Although the children were lazy, they also woke up after this incident. Under the leadership of several old farmers hired by Liu Ze, they opened up barren mountains, cultivated wild land, and created patches of fertile fields. Liu Ze bought back a large number of piglets, lambs and chickens, and built a pig shed, a sheepfold and a chicken coop.
After settling down here, Liu Ze finally solved a big problem. The next step was much easier, as all the people on the list gathered together to learn the new course in a large tent. In addition to the morning exercises, other training subjects are no longer conducted, and classes are held for most of the day, and the content of learning has also transitioned from literacy and numeracy to learning the Four Books and Five Classics, poetry and songs, astronomy and arithmetic, and other courses.
The arrangement of the ground character list is just the opposite, and there is no need to take the literacy and numeracy classes anymore, but the intensity of martial arts training has been significantly increased. In addition to the original physical training, combat training, weapon training, and bow and crossbow training, cavalry training and military formation training have been newly added, and the intensity and difficulty of each subject have also been greatly improved.
Liu Ze set up more than 1,000 people according to the establishment of the army, five people as one team, ten people as one tithe, five tithes as a captain, five tithes as a team, set up a captain, two teams as a tun, set up a tun chief, five tun as a song, set up a song chief, set up a song chief, set up a second song as a song, set up a song as a song, set up a second song as a one, set up a commander, and set up a commander, which was held by Wu Anguo. Guan Hai still holds the position of head of the head of the sect, and is responsible for the overall work of the department.
Ma Jun's arrangement is the most relaxed, Liu Ze deliberately selected a few people with flexible minds and diligent hands and feet to accompany him, except for having to go to class every morning to study, the rest of the time is arranged by him, what he wants to do, all the resources in the valley, whether it is gold, silver, copper, iron, wood, stone and linen, are at his disposal.
Under Liu Ze's suggestion, Ma Jun quickly made a better compass, not only small in size, light in weight and easy to carry, but also in the newly added dial, which is engraved with eight directions: south, north, east, southeast, southwest, southwest, northeast, northwest, northeast, northwest, and northwest when used.
In the end, only the five hundred people on the Tianzi list remained. Liu Ze divided them into ten teams, each team of 50 people, each team set up a captain, Zhang Long, Zhao Hu, Chen Biao, Li Bao, Guo Shi, Bai Ying, Zong Xiong, Feiyan, Xiao Wolf, Wang Zhang as the captain, Pan Feng as the leader. Liu Ze attached great importance to the elites selected by the five hundred Lin, and personally served as the head of the teaching.
In his heart, the formation of a team of special forces and agents has always been a dream of him to come to the Three Kingdoms, the kind of omnipotent ability from heaven to earth makes him feel gallant, and the kind of intelligence network that is like an octopus tentacle silently and pervasively makes him fascinated, and cultivating such an invincible and unfavorable force will definitely be an important magic code for the conquest of the Three Kingdoms. These 500 elites all have the potential to become agents, and how to cultivate them has become the top priority.
