Ma Jun was invited by the emperor to stay in Fengqiu for three more days to teach a mathematics course to the Tuntian officials. At first, he did not dare to speak much, but only wrote the arithmetic questions, asked the officials to answer them, and then judged the problems that arose one by one—of course, with pen and ink.

However, there is a lack of paper in Fengqiu, and non-important official documents are still used to use simple slips, which is completely different from writing on bamboo and wood. Ma Jun was born in Guanzhong, which was the place where he built a paper mill relatively early, and since he started school, he has been using paper, and he is not used to writing slips at all. In addition, writing is always slower than speaking, so gradually, he was forced to try to use his oral tongue to assist in teaching.

The subordinates were taken care of by General Tuntian Zhonglang, and they all respected the young Ling Shi, and did not dare to disturb the class, or ridicule Mr. Jun's bad students, Ma Jun's spirit gradually relaxed in this environment, and it seemed that he spoke much more fluently than before.

Cao Jiao took the opportunity to remind Ma Jun according to Zhuge Liang's instructions: "Jiao smells stuttering, if the tongue and throat are not damaged, it is not a disease of miasma...... "There is nothing wrong with your throat and tongue, and the symptoms of this stuttering are not unsolvable." In fact, stuttering is a sign of inconfidence, and I am always afraid of saying the wrong thing, but the more I worry, the more I can't understand it - "My Jun (Zhuge Liang) once said with Jiaoyan, although Jun is weak, he can be said to be a master in counting, and he stops under Zhao Junqing." And the key machinery, there is almost no right, even if it is a captain and a heavy king, then why should you be light? You don't take it lightly, and the stuttering disease is self-healing. ”

In fact, to say that stuttering disease does not need to be treated, and you will be fine, that is nonsense. Whether it is Hongfu, Zhuge Kongming, or Zhao Junqing, they all found that once Ma Jun was nervous. Then the stuttering problem will be aggravated, and it will be almost difficult to form sentences, if you relax? Even though I still stutter, it doesn't really get in the way of communicating with people. Therefore, Zhuge Liang instructed Cao Jiao to persuade Ma Jun like this.

Ma Deheng respectfully waved at Cao Jiao: "Qing, Qing's words are also, Jun accepts, accepts, and is taught." ”

His next step was to check the tuntian fields in various places to see if the number of households and acres of land was the same as that recorded in the accounts. According to the rules, the address of each Tuntian is provided by the company. Ma Jun couldn't tell him where he was going.

So he left Fengqiu City, first went south to the county governor Chenliu - in order to alleviate the conflict, the Tuntian officials and the county officials lived in different cities - and then went out of the south gate of Chenliu. Between Yongqiu and Gaoyang Pavilion, there are about ten tun people, nearly three hundred hectares of land. At Cao Jiao's suggestion, Ma Jun did not greet the local Diannong Lieutenant. And directly summoned the pawn farmer Sima - the pawn farmer Sima has a rank of 200 stone and 200 stone. is worse than him, and the magistrates are naturally a head shorter when they see the officials of the Chinese and Korean dynasties, and they all tend to obey their orders. Ma Deheng finally felt the majesty of being an official, and this pride became proud, and it seemed that he was better from stuttering.

He is familiar with Cao Jiao, and Cao Liang is quite good at observing words and feelings, so gradually, Ma Jun only needs one mouth. There is no need to say it completely, Cao Jiao can understand the meaning. Ma Jun simply took Cao Jiao with him. Let him go and talk to the peasants Sima and the tunmin, and the tun pawns, and he only occasionally spit out one or two syllables - everyone thinks that it is really Shangguan from the capital, this shelf...... Tsk tsk, this is what Shangguan looks like.

The land of Chenliu and Yingchuan is flat, the rivers and canals are vertical and horizontal, and the fertile fields are thousands of miles. Looking at the tun people and tun soldiers who were organized by the tuntian officials to work in the field, Ma Jun couldn't help but sigh to Cao Jiao: "This, this is different from my hometown, the same, there are no mountains, the land is open, the water is moist, the soil is fertile, if you get a good tool and use it, it is not difficult to get 300 catties of millet for one acre." ”

Cao Jiao said with a smile: "If you plant barnyard trees, you can double it." Ma Jun shook his head: "But, you can rice, wheat, beans and millet, but barnyard weed, barnyard ......" took a long breath and tried to separate the word: "Grinding a bucket of barnyard is not as good as four liters of millet and rice." Helpless and planted, non, non-long-term planning. ”

When we first started to grow fields, many places did not grow real grain, but planted barnyard grass, because the grains of barnyard grass can also be eaten, and it is adaptable, drought and flood can ensure harvest, and the yield is also large. But the problem is that although there are many grains in this thing, it is deflated, and after the real sieving and grinding, the rate of grain is very low. Therefore, planting barnyard is only a temporary measure of helplessness, except for some really barren land, most of the tuntian fields have stopped planting barnyard in these years.

Of course, the key is that the Wei family has a large territory, the amount of land is sufficient, and there is not much surplus in money and grain, so they can finally increase investment in farming, and can grow rice, wheat, millet, and beans, so who will plant barnyard seeds.

After inspecting the Tuntian near Gaoyang Pavilion, Ma Jun took a car south to Yingchuan County, the first stop was Xuchang, Nanjing, and the second stop was Zhiyang Zhai in the old county, which was also the residence of the captain of Tuntian.

In the middle of this day, there was a river in front of him. Cao Jiao said, I have been to this area, and I know that this is Weishui, and there is a ferry along the coast and three or four miles to the south. But who wants to go out five or six miles in one go, I don't know if Cao Jiao remembered it wrongly, or if the terrain has changed, and he couldn't find a boat.

Cao Jiao was forced to get up from the car, put his hands on the pergola, and looked around, and sure enough, he saw a large group of people in the distance, and he didn't know what was going on. He reported to Ma Jun, saying that we might as well go over and ask the locals to see how to cross the water. Ma Jun agreed, so he drove there.

Taking a closer look, Ma Jun couldn't help but be startled, only to see dozens of villagers and peasants, all of whom were carrying the rake, but all of them were eyebrow-eyed and vigorous, and it was not like they were going to go to the field to farm. At this moment, the villagers also saw the carriage and hurriedly avoided the road, Cao Jiao stopped the car on the avenue and beckoned: "One person will reply before coming!" ”

The villagers were in a great uproar, and at last a representative came out, about thirty to fifty, for his skin was so dark and rough that he could not tell his age at all. The man came to the car tremblingly, put down the wooden plow on his shoulder, and kowtowed: "Xiaomin greets Shangguan." ”

In this kind of rural place, most of the people have little knowledge, and they never care about things outside their own ten miles of home. Even if Ma Jun was born in Ma's Village, which has many household registrations and is close to the martial arts of the county town, there are still about 30% of distant relatives of the alienated family, or tenants with foreign surnames. I don't know or care which dynasty or generation it is, what the emperor's surname is, anyway, if something happens. There are patriarchs, and they go up to the top. However, because there were often officials who came to collect the taxes, they were able to recognize the officials.

Look at the person in front of you, there is a car to ride, it will be extraordinary, take a closer look, wear a beam crown on his head, and wear a ribbon around his waist...... After all, not everyone can wear a beam crown. Not everyone can wear the ribbon, this must be an official - although I don't understand what position it is, the official is small and the official is big.

But the villagers understood. Even if it is an official with a sesame mung bean, the plucked hair is thicker than his own waist, so he didn't dare to slack off, and quickly kowtowed back. Cao Jiao originally just wanted to ask for directions. But suddenly curiosity struck. I asked first, where are you all from, this is not like going to the field, where are you going? What's wrong?

The villager didn't dare to hide it, and replied truthfully: "The villain and the others are farmers from Po's Estate in the south, and they lead a dog to the people of Jiang's Estate in the north, so they go to reason." Cao Jiaoxin said that this person could speak, and he also "went to reason"...... So what are you all carrying on your shoulders? I obviously want to fight!

"There is both plagiarism. Why don't you report to the authorities? ”

The township farmer hurriedly said: "How dare you work for the official's family?" ”

Cao Jiao sneered: "If you really lead the dog of Rucun for him." The song is also in the other. If you fight with them, and both are twisted, and the officials hear about it, they will be killed, and they will not be afraid? ”

Hearing the "pawn and kill", the villager panicked and hurriedly surrendered his hand: "I really don't dare to fight, I really want to reason." The villain invited the royal nobles to help, but they didn't dare to do it. ”

When Ma Jun and Cao Jiao heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked - "royal nobles", who is that? Cao Jiao hurriedly asked, "Who is the nobleman?" Where to see also? ”

The villagers said that the nobles were relatives of the emperor's family, and what was the specific surname, and we ordinary people, where did we dare to ask. He lives in a large farm nearby, and has sent someone to invite him, and it is estimated that he will come to meet us in a moment—but we paid a pig as a gift to invite him out of the mountain.

When Ma Jun heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "The dog is small and big, isn't there a loss?" ”

The villagers said that it is not that pigs are bigger than dogs, and the key is that this one must be recovered, otherwise there are a few people in Jiang's Village who have unclean hands and feet, and they come to our village to steal things, how can there be a reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days? Now that I can ask the nobles to help, I don't think they will dare to come nonsense anymore.

Cao Jiao and Ma Jun glanced at each other, and they really couldn't understand what kind of royal family lived in such a rural place...... Could it be the distant branch of the Cao family? To say that Cao's native county (now the capital of Tokyo) is not far from here, and there have been many wars between Yan and Henan, and there are many people scattered everywhere. But in any case, if you don't encounter this matter, it's okay, since you know that the royal family is here, if you don't go to pay respects, once it is exposed, I am afraid that you will bear the crime of faux pas.

So he was forced to turn around and go north with the villagers. After walking a short distance, I saw someone running and shouting, "Come on, come too!" When the villagers heard this, they hurriedly stood on the side of the road, and Cao Jiao also hurriedly drove the carriage to the side of the road, jumped down with Ma Jun, and stood solemnly.

After a short time, more than a dozen servants came with one of them. Ma Jun peeked and saw that this person was quite tall, eight feet away, with a white face and short beard, a gray scarf on his head, and a fine linen gown. He was puzzled in his heart, but he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly rushed forward, bowed down, and signed up: "Shi Majun, commander of the Tuntian Commander of the Soldiers and Military Department, has seen nobles and nobles. ”

The man looked him up and down a few times, then turned his head to the villagers and asked, "If you invite me to come, how can you call others?" The villagers hurriedly explained, saying that this official had just met him on the road, and he had heard that the nobleman had come here to meet him. The man nodded slightly, and raised his left hand: "Since you have bowed, you can go." ”

Cao Jiao followed behind Ma Jun, and hurriedly took a step forward and asked, "I don't know the name of the nobleman, may I see it?" ”

The man pouted: "How do you know my name?" ”

"Please also tell us," Cao Jiao asked, "We have come from the capital, and when we can return to the capital, we can also proclaim the name of the nobles when others ask......

The man laughed "haha" and said that you just want to rely on meeting me and raise your own value among your colleagues, I know this - a twist of his beard: "And I wrote it down, this nobleman's surname is Wei Ming Wenchengye." (To be continued......)

PS: Wei Wencheng has been asking for a mess...... Well, as he wished.
