Chapter 55: The Way of Things
Although Zhuge Liang was different from the directness of that year, he still politely hugged his fists and said: "Liang's parents died early and were raised by his uncle, Liang has always followed his uncle, and now his uncle is an official in Jingzhou, Liang should be by his elders' side, and Liang dare not make decisions on his own!" ”
Zhuge Liang's uncle is Zhuge Xuan, it seems that he is indeed an official under Liu Biao, so Zhuge Liang lives in seclusion in Longzhong on the edge of Xiangyang.
As for saying that you want to be by Zhuge Xuan's side for a long time, you don't dare to say it, it must be a pretext, you are twenty-five or six, and you will be old if you don't come out.
Jiumu suddenly interjected: "The eldest husband holds the genius of the world, how can he be empty and old under Lin Quan?" May Mr. take the common people of the world as his mind, and enlighten us and teach us foolishly. ”
Li Muhao was very surprised that the ancient text of Jiumu was good, he looked at Jiumu curiously, and Jiumu transmitted the sound in the sea of knowledge: "This is what Liu Bei said when he invited Zhuge Liang, I will use it, maybe it can impress Zhuge Liang!" ”
Li Muhao laughed, I see, no wonder Jiumu suddenly said that the ancient text was better than that year.
But he didn't expect Kong Ming to not enter the oil and salt, so he clenched his fist at Jiumu again: "I am young and sparse, I am afraid that I will ask by mistake!" ”
Guo Wei spoke at this time: "Mr. Wolong is talented, he doesn't feed the people, he only farms for fun, I'm afraid it's not a blessing for the common people!" ”
Zhuge Liang was still unmoved, and said lightly: "Liang Jiule is plowing and hoeing, too lazy to respond to the world, and I can't obey orders!" ”
Then he clenched his fists and said apologetically: "I have been talking for a long time today, and Liang is tired, let's talk about it another day." ”
Everyone reluctantly said goodbye, and after leaving the inn, Li Muhao asked curiously: "Haven't you always been good at persuading people?" Why is it so straightforward today? And then don't say a word? ”
That year, he smiled slightly: "Zhuge Liang is arrogant, even Liu Bei, who is known as the emperor's uncle, must eat three thatched houses, besides, how many of us are people outside the mountain?" So I was ready to fail! ”
Jiumu asked: "Then let's forget it like this?" Just let him go back to Xiangyang to join Liu Bei? ”
Although Guo Wei didn't know why they were so sure that Zhuge Liang would defect to Liu Bei later, he was also very curious about the calmness of that year, according to his understanding of that year and others, it was impossible for the Longteng team to just stop like that.
Sure enough, that year went on to explain: "Through the poem "Liang Fuyin" written by Zhuge Liang, it can be seen that he regards himself as 'reincarnated Guan Zhong', which shows that he is a person with great ambitions, and it is impossible for him to really like farming, but he needs the master to be willing to assist, and we people outside the mountain will always leave, and we can't become his master, so he is not optimistic about us." ”
"What then?" This is Li Muhao asking.
That year confidently said, "Simple! First, to arouse his interest and give us the opportunity to explain in detail; Second, tell him the set of theories that impressed Zhang Liao, so that he can understand that even if we leave here, he still has room to exert himself; Third, show sincerity, Liu Bei can look at the thatched house three times, if we can't look around, we will look at it five times, I don't believe that I can't convince a Zhuge Liang! ”
"Haha!" Li Muhao was relieved when he heard this, and laughed happily.
Guo Wei heard something he didn't know, and he hugged his fists that year: "Brother Xian, what's the theory that moved Zhang Liao?" Have you seen Zhang Wenyuan, can you still get out of the way? ”
That year he lost his smile, he patted Guo Wei's arm and said: "Big brother is not in a hurry, let's go back and talk about it in detail, we still have to think of a way, and when we go back, we will add another fierce general with both wisdom and bravery!" ”
Jiumu asked again: "Then what did you say provoke Zhuge Liang's interest?" Do you use Brother Hao's beauty? ”
"Bang" the back of the head of Jiumu was hit as expected.
That year smiled slyly: "I have to go back and prepare, you have to help me, I don't believe this can't arouse Zhuge Liang's interest?" ”
In the evening, Guo Wei heard about Zhang Liao's agreement with that year and others, and he was very excited, he was like an arrow, there were still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with in Beihai, and he had to figure out how to make Lu Bu fall as soon as possible.
In the end, Guo Wei left overnight, there were them here that year, and he was also relieved, as for whether he could say that Zhuge Liang could be moved, it was useless for him to be there, it was up to them that year.
Early the next morning, that year and others came to see Zhuge Liang again, Zhuge Liang was very curious, haven't I already rejected you? Why don't you give up?
But according to the etiquette, he still has to meet him, otherwise he can't leave if these people don't let go.
The two sides continued to sit down in the small courtyard, and explained first: "Our eldest brother Mr. Qingzhi has important business, so he can only go back to Beihai first, here he asked us to apologize to Mr. Wolong on his behalf, and hope that he can sit down with Mr. Wolong in the future." ”
Zhuge Liang also had some regrets, compared to these people outside the mountain, he was still more in love with Guo Wei, after all, both of them were erudite and talented people, but he also understood, after all, Guo Wei is currently the governor of Qingzhou, how could he accompany him for a long time as a person from a mountain village.
After Zhuge Liang politely said that he was okay, he spoke again that year: "I came to meet Mr. Wolong today, there are two small objects, although they are not valuable, but there are some whimsical ideas, and I would like to ask Mr. Wolong to comment on one or two." ”
With that, a lantern and a pony carved out of wood were placed on the table.
The two items succeeded in attracting Zhuge Liang's attention, and he picked up the lantern first, and found that this lantern was somewhat different from the traditional lantern, with a top and a hollow bottom.
Zhuge Liang asked suspiciously, "What is this?" If there is a fire in it, won't it ignite the top? ”
That year smiled slightly and introduced: "This said, oh...... Sky lanterns! It needs to be made of flame-resistant and lightweight materials, and after the inside is ignited, it can be lifted into the air! ”
After making this "Kong Ming Lantern" yesterday, Jiumu pointed to that year and scolded shamelessly, and used the "Kong Ming Lantern" to fool Kong Ming, which is what he could do that year, and it was still light to say that he was shameless that year!
However, Jiumu scolded and scolded, he immediately started to move, and even commanded that year and Li Muhao to give him a hand, and after a while, a pony made of wood was placed on the table, but the wooden horse had no legs, but there were two wheels, and four poles in front and back.
Li Muhao asked curiously: "Is this the wooden cow flowing horse?" Jiumu said: "The specific production method is no longer testable, this is a hypothetical imagination of later generations, but it is estimated that the principle is similar." ”
Li Muhao pointed at Jiumu and scolded with a smile: "You still say that people are so shameless, and you little Taoist priest is shameless enough!" ”
Jiumu smiled and didn't care at all.
Of course, these were all done after sending Guo Wei away, not to hide it from Guo Wei, but not to know how to explain it.
Hearing the introduction that this sky lantern could be lifted into the sky that year, Zhuge Liang immediately understood the principle, he nodded, but he didn't care very much, he asked casually: "What is this thing for?" ”
That year, he introduced: "This was originally used for sacrifices and prayers, but we brought it to Mr. to tell him that although this thing is small, it has a great use!" ”
Zhuge Liang became interested, he gently put down the Kong Ming lantern, looked at that year and said, "Liang wishes to hear it." ”
That year, he said something else, he said: "Sir, do you know that our people outside the mountain have flying magic? ”
Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "I have indeed heard that your magic outside the mountain is indeed wonderful and abnormal, which is refreshing!" ”
That year then he asked: "Then do you know that outside our mountain, ordinary people can fly into the sky?" ”
Zhuge Liang was finally shocked, and he asked in disbelief: "Is this true?" ”
That year smiled and said: "Of course it's true, and as soon as I say the principle, you will know if it's true?" ”
Zhuge Liang was solemn, he clenched his fists and said sincerely: "Please also give advice!" ”
He couldn't talk about airplanes or spaceships that year, he briefly explained the principle of hot air balloons, and Zhuge Liang was finally convinced.
He sighed and said: "Although it is a small road, it is thought-provoking, and the way of Gewu is indeed far better than us outside the Guishan!" ”
Then he asked: "Although this thing is wonderful, but the requirements for the production materials are very high, I am afraid it is difficult to promote, what is the use of here?" ”
That year, he said with a smile: "Small can be communicated, big can be carried!" As long as you calculate the wind direction and fuel, you are not afraid that it will be uncontrollable! ”
Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up, and he immediately figured out many uses of it, he stood together, hugged his fists and said: "Mr. Xie pointed out, Liang understands, this thing is very useful, Liang deeply admires!" ”
That year, he pointed to the Trojan horse again, Zhuge Liang sat down and picked up the small Trojan horse again, and asked curiously: "What is the use of this thing?" ”
That year, he pointed to nine acres: "This is the masterpiece of our little brother, let him explain it to you." ”
Facing Zhuge Liang's curious gaze, Jiumu sat up straight, cleared his throat twice, and then introduced: "This thing is ......, oh...... It's called a Trojan horse! Traditional horse-drawn carriages can't travel on mountain roads, but people in the mountains need to transport goods, and it is inefficient to carry them on their shoulders, so I invented them! ”
Speaking of this, Jiumu Xiao's face turned red, but he gritted his teeth and continued to introduce: "This thing can be driven on flat ground with wheels, and the two wheels can be raised on the mountain road, and the four poles are connected into two groups before and after, and the two groups of poles are pushed forward alternately, which can climb the mountain road, carry a large capacity, and can greatly improve the transportation efficiency, especially when the army marches in the mountains, relying on this thing to escort grain and grass!" ”
Zhuge Liang was even more shocked, he immediately understood the huge effect of this thing on the battlefield, he was stunned for a long time, and then bowed to Jiumu Shen, and said: "Little Mr. is very talented, the name of talent is hung in the sky, it is far from it!" ”
Jiumu really blushed this time, he hurriedly waved his hand, unable to speak.
Li Muhao said in his consciousness: "I only know now what it means to be truly shameless! You fool people with other people's inventions, and you still say that you invented them! You are far worse than the old one, the old one! ”
Jiumu's little face turned even redder, he rubbed his hands and lowered his head.
Zhuge Liang picked up the wooden horse and asked Jiumu sincerely: "Can Liang take it apart and take a look?" ”
Jiumu hurriedly said: "Take it and give it to Mr., sir, please feel free!" ”
He didn't expect Zhuge Liang to be ingenious, and he understood the structure after looking at it twice, and dismantled the Trojan horse in two clicks.
Jiumu suddenly felt that his face was dull, this was designed by him with great effort, and then he and Li Muhao used the ability and mirage long knife to process it!
Zhuge Liang put it on again and exclaimed: "Although the structure is simple, it is sturdy and durable, and it is indeed feasible!" ”
Then he looked up and asked Jiumu: "I don't know where Mr. Xiao's train of thought came from?" ”
As soon as he saw Zhuge Liang sincerely asking for advice, Jiumu came to the spirit, he sat up straight again, and then explained the principles of gears, levers and steering shafts, etc., regardless of whether these principles were ahead of his time, anyway, this thing was invented by Zhuge Liang, and he was just more than ten years ahead of schedule.
This move really impressed Zhuge Liang, and he no longer cared about what he said about the "simple structure", it turned out that there was a university question in it.
Jiumu regained his self-confidence, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Muhao proudly.
Zhuge Liang looked at the Trojan horse again, and suddenly said: "This thing is exquisite, I need to take it to my lady, please sit for a while!" After saying that, he got up, picked up the sky lantern and the wooden horse, and wanted to go back to the house.
That year, they learned that Zhuge Liang's wife was with him, and blurted out that year: "Mrs. Zun is Huang Yueying?" ”
Zhuge Liang stopped in surprise, and he asked curiously that year: "Mr. actually knows the name of the cheaper?" It seems that Mr. knows a lot about Liang! ”
That year replied with a smile: "I just heard that Mrs. Zun is also good at the way of things!" ”
That year, I secretly blamed myself in my heart, how could I say that I was bald, this is not the outside world, saying the name of someone else's wife so abruptly will make people misunderstood, why are you asking about the name of other people's wives?
That year, he immediately stood up, clenched his fists and said: "It's over today, don't dare to delay Mr. rest, let's say goodbye first, and come back to visit another day!" ”
Zhuge Liang was stunned, he didn't expect them to leave so soon that year, and he hadn't talked enough.
He didn't pick up people this time!
