Chapter 138: The Thief's Heart Doesn't Die
Sun Yi was told by Mrs. Wu to be respectful to Hua Xin, and Sun Yi also listened to it a little, and he really didn't cause anything in the first three days. It's just that with Sun Yi's character, he couldn't help it on the fourth day, he pulled Bian Hong to get drunk the night before, and he was sent to the yard to study before he woke up in the morning.
When Sun Lang came back, he said that Mr. Hua immediately asked Sun Yi to be driven out of the courtyard where he was studying, Sun Yi was not convinced, and almost wanted to start a fight with Mr. Hua, but fortunately, the attendants around him hurriedly stopped him, so he didn't cause more trouble.
Qiao Wei was not surprised when he heard this, and asked Xiao Ye to bring the generous gifts that had been prepared a long time ago, and went to make amends to Hua Xin in person, Hua Xin saw that Qiao Wei looked sincere, and he didn't want to embarrass the woman, and Sun Lang tried his best to make amends for his brother on the side, so he finally calmed Hua Xin.
And this matter naturally did not hide from Mrs. Wu, and Qiao Wei did not want to hide it from Mrs. Wu. She has done good deeds, why should she hide it and not let people know, she not only wants to let Mrs. Wu know, but also let everyone in the Sun Mansion know.
Mrs. Wu heard that Hua Xin had not completely dissipated her anger, so she had to drag her sick body and take Sun Yi to apologize to Hua Xin again. It's just that after coming back from some fatigue, he fell ill again, this time he was really sick, and he didn't even urge Qiao Wei to do it when he wanted to prepare a wedding ceremony for Sun Yi.
Qiao Wei, who had gained free time and a good reputation, was flipping through the battle report sent back by Zhou Yu and the list of craftsmen who moved south.
After Sun Ce's loss was transmitted to the Han court, Cao Ren went south again to attack Wancheng and Runan, and in just half a month, Zhou Yu had fought with it three times, relying on all kinds of ordnance and the Jiangdong army's unity, all of which repelled Cao Ren's troops and insisted on holding Wancheng.
For Qiao Wei, the most important thing in the land of Wancheng is the local craftsmen and technology, in order to maintain the main craftsman skills, Zhou Yu selected some craftsmen to move south to Wu, but also in order to continue to develop the way of military craftsmen in Wu County, for Jiangdong use.
There are more than 100 people on this list, and the list is also very long, with their names, ages, places of origin and some of their work experience written in detail, and one of them caught Qiao Wei's attention.
Ma Jun, twenty-five years old, the word Deheng, Fufeng people.
Qiao Wei repeatedly confirmed the name and place of birth of this person, and affirmed that this person was Ma Jun, an inventor in the Three Kingdoms period and one of the most prestigious mechanical inventors in the history of ancient Chinese science and technology, as she thought.
In his life, he invented things such as overturning cars, guide cars, and water turning a hundred plays, most of which were used to improve the efficiency of agricultural production, like overturned cars, and were still used until the realization of electric machinery to lift water.
Moreover, Ma Jun also transformed Zhuge repeater crossbows, stone carts and other things, which became very important equipment for the army.
History books praise him as the world's famous skill, and compare him with masters such as Lu Ban and Mozi, you can know how powerful this person is.
Being able to include this person under his command is indeed a great blessing for Jiangdong.
"Zhou Gongjin really has the wisdom to know people." Qiao Wei couldn't help but admire, so that a master-level craftsman could find it for him.
You Ye looked at this name and had never heard of it, "Is this person very famous?" ”
"Not really." Qiao Wei calculated the time, Ma Jun at this time should not be famous, plus he has been poor since he was a child, and he has stuttering, he is not good at talking to people, and he is not good at expressing his ingenuity, how can others know the ingenuity in his heart!
"But it's going to be famous." Qiao Wei put away the list and asked Youye to send it to Zhu Zhi, and then asked Youye to inform Mo Sangongzi and pay more attention to Ma Jun.
She had discussed with Mo Sangongzi about trying to modify the way the Karakuri repeater was wound again, so that the arrows could be loaded into the box in advance, just like a modern gun, and when it was ready to be used, the box could be snapped into a fixed position to fire the arrows.
Of course, this is also because Qiao Wei has personally experienced the defense battle of Guangling, and has seen with his own eyes that the soldiers were killed by the opponent's arrows because they were panicked and could not accurately load the crossbow into the crossbow for Karakum. This also reflects the fact that the way of winding the Karakuri repeater is still not convenient and fast.
After that, Qiao Wei thought of many ways to solve this problem, and tried to do some simple transformations by herself, but the technology was still limited, and she has not been able to realize her vision.
Qiao Wei felt that perhaps with Ma Jun's ingenuity, there would be a different solution, and if the speed of winding could be solved, the actual combat ability of the Jiangdong Army could be improved.
Before Qiao Wei could be happy, the maid outside the door came to report that there was a letter to Qiao Ying. But at this time, Qiao Ying had already returned to Wancheng to marry on her behalf, so the maid didn't know what to do with this letter, and thought about it again and again and sent it to Qiao Wei.
Qiao Wei didn't look at it, but he was angry, and there was no signature on the letter, but he wrapped a sun-dried wormwood in it.
Xiao Ye twisted the draft medicine, looking very puzzled, "Who sent this letter, I didn't write anything, just sent a wormwood." If you send it, shouldn't you send more, what can this herb do? What a weirdo! ”
Not only is he a weirdo, but he is also a shameless eccentric.
Xiao Ye didn't know who sent it, but Qiao Wei knew that there was a saying in the "Book of Songs", "Pi Cai Aixi, I don't see it for a day, like a three-year-old Xi." ”
Where is this sending letters, it is clearly flirting!
Qiao Wei directly snatched the wormwood from Xiao Ye's hand and threw it in the brazier on the side, out of sight and out of mind.
"Youye, you go find the person who delivered the letter and tell him that the daughter-in-law of the Qiao family has already decided to get married, and let his head of the family take away those thoughts that shouldn't be moved. Is his small action like this three times and twice preparing to make a feud with my Qiao family? ”
Although the Eastern Han Dynasty was not as strict as it was later, no matter which dynasty, no matter what gossip came out, only women were ultimately discredited.
Zhou Yu is a man, if there are any unpleasant words, a beautiful talk from others will cover up the past, but Qiao Ying is different, she has already married Yuan Yao, if anything comes out, how can Yuan Yao speculate about Qiao Ying's character? How did Qiao Ying deal with herself as a housemother in the Yuan family? Wouldn't the servants and maids under the Yuan family take these rumors lightly as Qiao Ying?
"Go!" Qiao Wei looked at Youye who was still standing still, and urged loudly.
Youye knew that although her heroine didn't lose her temper, she was really angry. He hurriedly went to the person who delivered the letter, after all, it was quite scary for his wife to get angry.
I'm really not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid of thieves.
Qiao Wei: I was so angry that I was about to swear, but the good quality made me hold back.
